At least he can be more "relaxed" playing Goh/Tan. He is never "relaxed" playing this Mas pair somehow.
Saina Nehwal and Sai Praneeth retires. What's happening?. Hope Sai is ok . This is the qualification period. Injury means it's over.
Sindhu toppled again, this time by Zhang Beiwen. Time for the reigning world champion to get her act together as soon as possible.
Mysterious stomach ailment. She has been seeing many specialists since June I believe and she recently posted an update on her instagram where it seems to still be unresolved at this point. Her latest update:
I believe she has been way too busy with off court events since her title. Besides she has been struggling this year with "regular events". After winning the WC title and seeing how things are working out pretty nicely for her following this pattern (ie focusing on big events and getting huge media coverage/endorsed contracts). I expect her to mainly shine at the Olympics. May be the final event of the season too. She wouldn't be the first athlete to follow that pattern anyway... CM and a certain LD come to mind.
