to be honest friend. Lee Yong Dae is no longer good in XD. Losing in the first and second round of XD has been a norm. For him XD is just for practice.
Sindhu is making a mistake by smashing straight at HBJ and her smashes are not close to the lines. She should take advantage of HBJ's short reach.
Gratifying, He Bingjiao beats Sindhu and the odds. Clever of her to mix up her serve towards the end of G3. Tang Xuehua lher for a job well done, overcoming adversity.
Am I the only one who noticed that HBL's right calf is strapped and she is a bit hesitant with her movements ?. TTY is the culprit. A stronger opponent and she would have lost.
Okay another second round exit for Yoo Yeon Seong / Chang Ye Na in XD. Too and then. They wasted such a good lead. Both won the first set then lose the second set as they lose focus despite leading. Then the third set the same thing happened. Score is Korea 20-17. What a waste as they allowed the Indonesian win it 22-20. What a waste indeed.
I didn't noticed, all the more commendable. That's the hallmark of a champion. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
