2016 XiamenAir AUSTRALIAN Open Superseries : SEMIFINALS (11th June)

Poor Jeon Hyeok Jin is going to lose the second set of the match.

 

I haven't seen Saina in such good form in a while. Let's see what she can do against one of her nemesis

 

Poor Jeon Hyeok Jin he is hardly send out for tournaments. Then this time when he is being send out he again wants to prove it so badly that he must be send out for tournaments. He is giving himself unnecessary pressure to keep trying to win to impress his coach. Poor chap.

 

so the race to Rio is officially over for LXR and WYH, i guess...

 

Very few people are like you, they only want to be buttered up,never mind the reality.

Btw, you are a keen, lifelong and capable learner, admirable. Keep it up.

 

Heo Kwang Hee muffed it already yesterday. He won the second round of the tournament due to retirement / walkover from his opponent. Then yesterday he lost in the quarterfinals. Not much of a chance for him to be send for tournaments anymore.

 

What a brilliant start by Saina. She knows she has to win this match absolutely. Cannot afford to give some extra confidence to WY before the olympics

 

Powering through Wang Yihan at the moment

 

Saina raced to a big lead, G1 not salveagble for WYH now.

 

Jeon Hyeok Jin is definitely very talented. Although he is a bit like a robot. Once he knows when to change the pace of the game, he would be very hard to beat.

 

Jeon Hyeok Jin please win the game today. If not I won't have a chance to see you play in tournaments anymore.

 

Yu Yang has the experience and expertise but she need to quickly get herself fit for the Olympic in 2 months time. otherwise it is a failure on the management part not able to foresee this problem because there are other more capable players.

 

But the setback has always been he is hardly send out for individual tournaments.

 

I'm so excited with our trio youngsters Jonathan, Anthony and Ihsan. The future looks bright for these MS trio youngsters.

 

He is clearly better than LDK already and has potential to be better player than SHW

 

Amazing performance by Saina!! Firing those smashes down the lines and cross-court with great power.

 

And when I said Intanon , Saina and Marin are the three fittest WS in the circuit and the best smashers - that's not (objective) praise, what is ?

 

Jeon Hyeok Jin would have been tasting success too if he has the opportunity to be send out for more tournaments.

 

Yes but then this is BKA policy. I cannot say much. BKA didn;pt want to send youngsters out for tournaments. What can I do?

 

None of above.

Here my calculation IF Wang Yihan lost to Saina Nehwal this afternoon. Result for RI and LXR from this SF have already counted below:

1. Carolina Marin 83680
2. Wang Yihan 78484
3. Li Xuerui 77654
4. Ratchanok Intanon 76904

So, the ranking still remain as above for the Top 4 until July 21 since all of them not playing in Taipei GPG, Canada GP or US GPG.
