What does this unfair scheduling mean?

Well, it's nothing about Saina now, Yip Pui Yin beat her ;)
Personally, I think Saina has problems under pressure. In normal tournaments, she can thrash Wong Mew Choo but she had to work so hard in the CWG finals, many unforced errors. I predict she can win many Super Series but never any biggies. And I believe not the All-England too as WS is even more dominant than MS.

Agree!
pjswift: you should protest for Yip Pui Yin , not Saina :)
 
Zhao Yunlei won the WD finals on late friday night and had to play in the XD semi-final at 1.45pm the next day. I watch her XD semi-final match and she didnt show any signs of tiredness at all. She went on to win her XD SF match with Zhang Nan. Incredible athlete!
Agree, ZYL 's a fantastic player. But when playing against teammates, there's little mental exhaustion since she knows their game. Her SF XD opponents are not the same level. Fatigue caught up with her when she had to be sharp against her tougher KOR opponents in the XD finals. However, doubles is only half the load of singles so the effect may not be so crucial.
What I find funny is CHN WS are already so strong and consistent why would they need an obvious scheduling advantage. What chance is there to have perhaps only 6 hours sleep and face a fresher, stronger CHN WS?

ZYL played a total of 8 matches (WD & XD events). Her XD Final's lady opponent, LHJ played only 5 matches (XD exclusively).

unfair scheduling will not happen 2 china players for ur info....the word "fair" is specially reserve for china players not for other nations when u r playing in China:cool:

i'm just pointing out that it's equally unfair to have chinese players in a 'bad' position...but both what is bad and what is fair are personal opinions, and both differ from person to person...and unless it happens 100% of the time to everyone not from china, it is speculating and almost slanderous to mention something perpetuating more negative things to their reputation no?...not just perceived to have happen 100% of the time by comparison...i'm just saying =] my idea of fair...someone will get the bad position...scheduling conflicts have to happen...too bad it had to be her....
