Akane Y is ranked 35 based on 9 senior tournaments excluding this ongoing CHN Open PSS which will add a lot of ranking points to her. He Bingjiao is ranked 137 based on only three senior tournaments played so far. What more can I say.
It's 11.00pm local time and CTC vs HY's match is yet to start. Will the victor if old HY be able to recover enough to challenge a well rested LD? Hopefully the organizers give ample rest time to them.
Don't expect Hu Yun to beat CTC whose superb fitness is a significant advantage; in terms of skill, I'd rate them about equal. Anyway, whether it's HY or CTC, either one has a golden opportunity to upset Lin Dan, the best time to do so before he's fully recovered.
Ya 5/6 matches on ct1 so far are at least 1hr long... Hopefully CTC match can start by 11:30pm local time.
