THAT'S IT! ASY CREATES THE BIGGEST UPSET! Congratulations, ASY. This turns out to be a blessing in disguise for KOR. SJH has to be removed from the team because of injury, but this SC has become ASY's platform to shine brightly. As for TTY, it is her biggest loss in a while, against lower-ranked opponent. It's quite similar with how Minions lost against THA scratch pair last year.
TTY could have injured herself badly on that last point. She should rest after this tournament and treat her injuries, barely beat the HK girl and gifting 75% of the points in this match. Dont think she should play in QF.
When i said An se young can take olympics medal, many 'Critics' here said you are overboard in praising . Blah blah blah. But here go, she beats her first top 8 that too indisputable queen Tai tzu ying. I can clearly say that she can be defeated by only one or two top 8 players. Not every top8 player. Her game is very strong Sent from my SM-G600FY using Tapatalk
Meanwhile at court 1, China leads 2-0, Sameer Verma has chance in first and second game against the under pressure Chen Long, 17-21 / 20-22 but slipped at crucial moment.
ASY looks very solid and KOR has good WD and XD pairs. It's not farfetched to say that KOR has reasonable chance to defend the title. JPN, watch out! If JPN wants to win the first SC title, JPN needs to field the very best team.
Great performance, especially the way her overheads all look the same seems to be very difficult to read even for top players. Unfortunate handshake though. Probably not going to root for that one in the future.
Korea waits very long time to find their gem in women's singles category after Bang Soo Hyun won 1996 Atlanta OG gold medal. This girl is absolutely much better talent than the stagnant Sung Ji Hyun.
The camera is still on, but they switch to another camera, I think they record the dance already. We might see this on badminton channel.
Is she gonna be the next big thing for korea ? or is she just gonna be another sung ji hyun ? we'll see..
It's nice to see you around, commenting about ASY. I think the "biggest talent in the world" you have described about her is right. Beating a world number one while still a teenager is extraordinary feat.
Yeah, but, let's see the whole matches first. I am still rooting for JPN. But, if it is INA vs JPN, it is different story.
Too soon to say. If An Se Young can beat Yamaguchi, I will agree with you. I will wait for that match.
