I started watching from G2, and noticed He BJ not as sharp today. Still it's like her to win a series of points on the trot and suddenly give away a string of points easily. Mitani also became a bit error-prone,even mis-hitting a couple pf sitters.MM vs He BJ is heating up...
I think he's more pleased with Sun Yu's performance. Actually, in the latter half of G2 when Sun Yu was leading comfortably, she went back lifting predictably, giving IR many attacking opportunities and allowing her to close the gap to just 1 point. Luckily, SY re-asserted herself in the final few points to wrap it up in two straight sets.both SUn Yu and He BJ passed today...
Chen Jin must be happy.
WZM must be cursing the draw. Another possible meeting with LCW in the QF if he overcomes HKV and then SWH or CTC.
Sadly , in the WS 4th quadrant, all three CHN WS, namely, Wang Shixian, He Bingjiao and Sun Yu are slated to cross swords with each other.
After Li Yongbo destroyed Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang's Olympic chances during London 2012, I wonder if anyone but the old guards (barring LD) would still bother to listen to him-- youngsters like Huang Yuxiang and Xue Song should just improve their game and wait for Li Yongbo to retire... the "I created 100 World Champions" target is probably Li Yongbo's personal dream, rather than the higher-ups' KPI for him.Tomorrow is interesting, Viktor Axelsen faces a Chinese player Huang Yuxiang. If Huang wins it will destroy LYBs (supposed) plan to make CL and LD 3 &4 in the WR for beneficial Olympic seedings. Making CL and LD 1&2 is more or less impossible because of LCW being too good so now CHN must help Axelsen surpass both CL and LD. CL WO for some injury can only strenghten this theory. If Huang Y wins it proves me wrong, if he loses it proves nothing.
Of course, the Chinese system of "personal coaches" allow them to take a cut of the players' prize money...both SUn Yu and He BJ passed today...

Let's see, IMO it's impossible for VA to overlapping CL.Tomorrow is interesting, Viktor Axelsen faces a Chinese player Huang Yuxiang.

Even if VA become champion here, he will not overlapping World Ranking No.2.

Summary: The plots showing us that no matter what the Final result, if LCW manage to reach at least Quarter Final, he will become the world No.1 and the other results not change the composition of WR no. 2, 3, and 4. At least CL still no.2
The gap between CL and VA is too far away.
Extreme Scenario:
• CL WDN in INA SSP, AUS SS, and Taipei GPG, CL lowest point will be 86984.
• VA become champion in INA SSP, AUS SS, and Taipei GPG, VA biggest point will be 81434
So, the options will be like these:
• 1. LCW | 2. CL | 3. LD | 4. VA
• 1. LCW | 2. CL | 3. VA | 4. LD
• 1. CL | 2. LCW | 3. LD | 4. VA
• 1. CL | 2. LCW | 3. VA | 4. LD
