Went again today. Here is a better idea of the vast potential commercial space outside the 'inverted pyramid'. I was mentioning earlier that the space could be better used. But apparently, the space is very, very expensive to rent out (as is the arena itself). Hence, the small size of the yonex shop.

Did somebody mention Wilson were leaving badminton? Misaki still playing with it.

Losing my racket!

Tough mtach with body blows and all...

Tough match for Paula and Eva. But I see they play better than previously.

Japan's pocket rocket against Sun Yu. All the attention is on Akane but this teammate has the guts to fight it out.

Paula needs to lose a few pounds.
Eva switched back to Yonex racket.

I noticed a few players with the Paula's trademark 'O' sign. She should patent it. LOL.

Bit of a rush to post these this morning before I left for work at 6.30am.

Couldn't upload the Srikanth vs Chou match.

Good captures, everyone!

Now this, boys and girls, is how you're supposed to keep your eyes on the shuttle...

Havn't seen Vislova for a while.

Have missed her energetic style.

She doesn't look that happy with her partner though (no coach for them)

Here's a wasted match point

Who is the current darling of Indian badminton? Well here he is (with one of his trademark "let's try a kill and hope it goes over the net")!
