Sung Ji Hyun's chances upped a little bit now that TTY is out. Although she'll most likely play a difficult final against either SS or Jindapol who are both recently showing form.
A pathetic showing by CHN WS, the only bright spark is Chen Xiaoxin, the rookie, but ample room for improvement; however, lots of potential. Keep it up, CXX !
Anyone think Chang/Lee will lose today? It is really rare to see KOR WD pairs doing badly in the first set.
Chan/Peck advance to SF in their first tournament together, beating Lu/Kai of TPE. Grantedly, Lu/Huang gave them a free pass due to health problem. They will meet Tan/Lai or Tontowi/Natsir.
Once all the matches finish and left the indonesians players, atmosphere will be more partizan and tougher for opponents?
Prannoy has beaten all the three legends lindan, Lee chong wei, Taufik and now Chen long. He did not meet Peter gade.
Wow Indian MS turning beast mode after coached by Taufik's former coach Mulyo Handoyo, even ousting LCW and Chen Long en route.
SJH has only won Korea SS (twice?) imo. Great, what an opportunity for her to name a PSS for herself. The hard work and determination should pay off, its about time. Funny how TTY, CM, PVS, AY the favorites, all lost to players one would never expect. As I've always said SJH is somebody you can rely on, never loose to players she shouldn't on paper, it's other thing that she doesn't win to players more illustrious than her either. But since her modification in her game, she's been really consistent
Fajar/Ardianto advance to their first ever SSP semifinal spot by beating the tenacious THA pair in three sets, much to the crowd's excitement.
