Well said. Thank you for your detailed yet concise sum up *thumbs up Looking forward to seeing great matches tomorrow. Can't wait
I'll go for the same! But I love upsets, esp when the lower ranked player is a youngster! So I wish Kevin and partner def FuNan! Although if I am supposed to put money than your "prediction " earns a vote from my end..

fu/zhang aren't amateur... their taunt won't work on them i think.. not like some other pair their match will be interesting..
If fu/zhang unable to handle the taunt from Kevin, they better retire before Rio. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
Forget what was it about, all I can remember Zhang Nan was so upset to Kevin/Greysia the last time they met in XD match, ZN/ZYL lost the match leading him to slam his racket onto the floor. Twice.
Chen Long keeps landing himself in trouble and having to fight his way back. How often can he get away with it ?
