    My Prediction for the current MS

    *Kingto Momota at his usual self again proves his class against the luckily selected Verma of India,I wont be surprised to see Kingto at the Olympic Podium at 2020 along with SYQ and bag the biggest medal of the badminton world to fulfill his career*

    AY duly obliged and produced one herself right after. Not with the same comic relief as at the worlds, but still.

    KM's complacency and urge to "conserve" energy. Is actually helping SV.
    Not only to gain confidence and get used to he conditions, but also give him "points on the chart".
    Group B will be closely contested to grab #2 KO ticket. And anything SV can get here will only act as bonus

    KM at the interval asking the court to be mopped :p
    However I can understand the umpire's will, he knew it'll be interval in no time and mopping before is just waste of time

    I can't believe that the legendary Ahsan/Hendra lose so easily. They have to win against 2 TPE MDs to advance to SF.

    RI did well to beat CYF. Her win is very important to survive in her tight group B.

    And, PVS beat AY again. This makes PVS won 4 times in a row against AY. Doesn't look good for AY.

    Tight groupB?
    Ofcourse she'll win against LM. That's 2/3 at the very least

    You should hear correct commentator to know about correct details. Morten did a very good analysis . He clearly said even though Akane was consistent , she could not win many tournaments. Why?. He clearly said that Akane has to be in top form throughout the year . Because her game is of retrieving and running all over the court. She can't win tournaments like that. He also mentioned that she does not have backhand at all. So, she has to run and run . No other way. But Akane is a very good player in her elements. Only few players can beat her consistently. Even Saina praised her. She can retrieve it and give it back with interest.

    I won't try to single out ML. ML beat RI in All England this year. Though ML is the dark horse, it is still difficult for her to advance from the group stage. RI vs NO match should be a tight one.

    That disguised left shot by KM resembled to Lin Dan doing it twice against Peter Gade in All England (don't remember the year).

    Did you watch the match? You could defeat RI in all England :p
    Not taking anything away from LM nor mis-calculating your calibre

    Kento momota did a quick work on court. Hope sameer learn from this how to play a player without working a lot. Even though i hate KM, i admire his talent.

    This slow hall and slow shuttle.. Momota and CTC are almost certain to top their respective group.
    Li/Liu and Han/Zhou should have great advantage too in this condition. Zheng/Huang should prevail too.

    Set Hola/hotspot shield VPN (chrome extension available) to China or any other Asian nation (don't select India) and watch on BWF world TV on YouTube

    Zheng/Huang pretty much prevail everywhere. I don't know how well minions can fare in this WTF. CHN MDs certainly don't let them win easily.
