Small statistic by the way, Zwiebler won every match between him and kashyap when it goes in the decider
Yup, I heard that too and commented. If only 6 international umpires and rotating as service judge, it certainly is not enough. And what about the line judges? All are locals.
Nerves of Steel... This comeback from Ma Jin and Xu Chen is tremendous. I wonder why they often lose nerves (or at least seem to) in many other matches.
I think that the road to final for Mark is more or less clear (we must never underestimate Mamota/Srikanth) though. I hope the final would be interesting. It would be a welcome change to see LD battle MZ instead of CL, his usual opponent in China.
No you are not. Your comment was totally fair, and I replied to it. Even you acknowledged that Saina has a propensity to make excuses and complaints. Not that she isn't a great player. Obviously she is. In my personal rankings she ranks at around 4. Yet, I think her attitude, had it changed could possibly help her.
Coming back to SD's match against Saina, in the 3rd game SD was clueless and staring at blanks. She kept hitting the shuttle long and looked lost but she looks kind of pretty.
