Yes, poor HKV, will have to start all over again, for a place in semifinal, as all those matches/results of SonWH will be discarded now.

Under BWFs’ General Competition Regulations (16.2.5) states: “If injury, illness, disqualification or other unavoidable hindrance prevents a player/pair completing all the pool matches, all the results of that player/pair shall be deleted. Retiring during a match shall be considered to be not completing all pool matches.”

Bae Yeon Ju defeated Wang Shixian today, Wang Yihan at the recent China Open and at the Asian Games, she beat Intanon 21-4 18-21 21-8. How did Bae lose to Sung Ji Hyun yesterday in straight sets in only 29 mins?

this is something very interesting to me, its like their game suits well against certain opponents. .if we talk about saina here, she is like tough to beat for the players who plays well against wang yihan and li xuerui and also beat them sometimes, but saina finds it hard to beat the very same wang yihan and li xuerui. its kind of clash of playing styles.

When Maheswari and Ahsan retired yesterday whereby they were not completing a match, if they recover can each respective pair resume playing in the next match?

No, the player/pair must complete all group stage matches according to SS Finals rules, so practically both pairs and the latest one Son WH will not play any remaining matches.
 
The young Momota forces Jorgensen to fight extra hard, rubber games is playing now...
 
1 won, 1 lost for both Jorgensen and Momota, waiting the outcome of another group B tie, Srikanth v Sugiarto tonight.

Are you guys sure that HKV will not get any points?
Or is it a case that points will nullified for the player retiring only?
In other words - all opponents of SWH gets 2 points. I think that's an equivalent scenario to all getting 0 points.

Looks like WYH is going to lose this match to TTY although it is still early days.

11-7 to TTY.
 
live coverage has started. tai leads 11-7 in the mid game interval in game 1 against wang yihan.
 
WYH is struggling in the front court, slow to react on the drop shots, 16-7, runaway for TTY!
