Also, I wish India had a stadium with cool and serene lights like say in Denmark or Singapore or Indonesia. Shouldn't the lighting at superseries level be a bit more cooler? I don't mind bright lights at IBL or even at Lucknow Syed Modi GPG being so bright. But at superseries level I feel we should have stadium with more stylish lightning.
OK. Now back to today's matches.
Srikanth looked in good touch. If he can play like this I feel he will be able to beat Kento Momota tomorrow. Looking at his draw- KM will be the biggest hurdle for the next 2 or 3 rounds.
Saina looked like she meant business. In the end Saina won easily. But despite the score, I was quite impressed by her young 16 year old opponent Riya Mukherjee. She displayed some really good stroke making and net play. What led her down was her laziness on court and unpolished movements. If she can remove those weaknesses she can become a world class player. I did some reasearch on this girl Riya Mukherjee. She is from Bengal and 2 years back won the u15,u17,u19 titles in Bengal. And now she is training in Lucknow under some Indonesian coaches.
Tomorrow Saina will be playing Ruthvika Shivani who is one of the best(perhaps the best) junior player in WS in India at the moment. Interested in seeing tomorrow's scoreline.
Kashyap won his match and Sameer Verma defeated HKV.
Jwala and Ashwini have been disappointing for a while now. They made way too many unforced errors.
Overall a decent day for India.
