2016 Badminton ASIA Championships : QUARTERFINALS (29th April)

Lee Dong Kuen was playing very well. But now his back might be injured.

 

Looks like an easy game 1 for LD. LDK not giving much.

 

TTY losing the first set in a pretty tight affair 17-21, now fighting hard in G2 to get back on the scoring board!

 

another cross court from LD. LDK no chance too slow.

 

LD takes the game 1. 21- 15 quite easily.

 

TTY fighting back to equalize at 19-19

 

Who is commenting?

 

LXR taking it in the end, and through to the SF tomorrow, 21-17 21-19 .

She will play against SS or SJH, opponents she has usually dominates easily

 

LDK is no LCW not a serious opponent for LD. Tomorrow will be a dream semi final between LD and LCW.

 

Good for LXR to overcome the very fit TTY in two straight sets. If she is to have a fighting chance of taking the crown here, LXR has to win most of her matches in two sets.

 

Lin Dan mostly playing a rallying, stroke game now in G2.

 

Chen Long pulling away now, charging to the finishing line in G2, 18-13.

 

Lee chong Wei fans can't stop laughing seeing a tired, exhausted, suffering from fatigue, physically unstable Lin Dan as an opponent for tomorrow.

 

Chen Long almost winning points at will when he wanted to, 21-14, wraps it up in G2.

 

LDK's weak smashes made LD looked so good.

 

I guess Lin Dan doesn't want to disappoint his home fans,even though he said he's tired,he is willing to test LCW tomorrow. Not exactly a dream match, but a treat nevertheless.

 

Lin Dan asked Lee Dong Keun if his back is OK. What a great sportsman. Sacrificed his fitness for his fans to play a meaningless match tomorrow.

 

Gong Weijie commentating is saying Lin Dan is thinking of giving LDK a few more points.

 

With WSX knocked out and doing herself a disservice in the R2R, it's now up to WYH to seize her chances to consolidate her position.

 

WYH looks a little clumsy.
