what's with the umpires these 2 games ? .... i thought when the line judge is unsighted, then the umpire automatically needs to make the call? no? what the hell is going on jeez?
What? Umpire gave a free point to Akane. When 5-7 down, Sindhu won a point. Umpire made a mistake calling "service over" and changed the scores to 6-7 , then realising her mistake , she changed the score to 8-6 but did not change it to 5-8 . What a terrible umpire Sent from my SM-G600FY using Tapatalk
That was a really awkward game. Akane clearly saving her energy Not trying much really Would be really funny if she is drawn against Sindhu tomorrow
Why couldn’t TTY make the cut to SF? Is it just 2 could qualify from the group, unlike the previous editions of SSF? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess that's the thing with Group stages matches. Players will often chose to not give too much energy rather than arrive in SF wasted. Still remember TTY last year losing pretty easily her match against Sung Ji Hyun in their last group stage match before beating her in two straights games in the final Juhl/ Pedersen also seemingly saving their energy against Fukushima/ Hirota, both of them being already qualified for the SF. Which is probably a wise idea And probably the same for Boe/ Mogensen, suffering a two straight sets defeat against Zang Nan, but both already qualified
It's always been the top 2 of each group. TTY is third. CY is second. Ratchanok is first . TTY would have needed to win a game off Ratchanok, OR win in straigh games against Chen Yufei, OR that Ratchanok wins her match against Chen Yufei (which she lost)
Is it? Back in 2015, a final table (combining by the groups) would be made and the top 4 in that would march into SF. I vaguely remember, I could be wrong Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah that was scandalous umpiring.. Like when she said service over ? was it really service over? then suddenly AY got the ghost point and her points become 6. Such is the obviousness that we doubted ourselves whether our count was right or wrong and i just watched the match into a minute lol. After that i dont watch anymore so i happen to watch that scandalous points. thats all.
Umpire like Akane it seems. Giving free point to her. One point can make a match or break a match. How could she be so careless? Sent from my SM-G600FY using Tapatalk
We know AY, she played finals after finals of SS tourneys, everybody expected her to run Outta steam which she didn't. Lost a bit touch to "exhaustness" only when she reached another SF at HKG She has the biggest stamina jug, there's no way it was about "saving energy". Either she wanted to desperately avoid CYF which I doubt, or it was just an off day. PS PVS was on fire today, even without those bizzare errors from AY, the scoreline wouldn't have been even close
