Not really a convincing win, the Jia/Chen pair would have given them more trouble if they have taken the 1st set. but nevertheless a win is still a win.
Well they didn't take it, and that's the point: the japanese pair didn't allow them to come back despite failing to convert 2/3 match points on a few grueling rallies. That was pretty convincing to me They were not in their best form for sure but a win is a win.
Mashewari / Polii in difficulty in G2 after losing G1, this is now or never No challenge for Lin Dan as expected
Lin Dan will probably lose tomorrow... Too tired after hard fought battle with Vietnam's warrior NTM.....
after ZZ, Vivian/Woon are the latest to fall, by losing to Nitya/Polili in 3 games... next will be Koo/Tan, will they survive against Kamura/Sonoda?
I think Vivian/Woon could have risked their chances to Rio, they were leading 20-18 match point in the 2nd set but could not convert.
You got the equation wrong It's Lin Dan vs Hu Yun/LegendongK + Tiredness + Mental Fatigue. One against three is unfair at this level. Can't blame LD for losing tomorrow.
