Sindhu, Porntip B., Sayaka Takahashi, Nozomi Okuhara, Pedersen/Juhl, Polii/Maheswari, Fischer/Pedersen, Jordan/Susanto. LIVE TV will broadcast semifinal and final round on Saturday and Sunday respectively (17th & 18th January 2015) Qualification round is already started (09.00am local time) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=6ACFA5AB-0E9F-4AFC-BFFB-40A7FE3E9938
Surprised to see Pedersen/ Juhl and Nielsen entering this event. BE amazed if Christina doesn't reach 2 finals. Really looking forward to see what the Japanese WS players can produce this week, expect one of them to win.
Day-2 order of play (09.00am local time, 4 courts) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...CFA5AB-0E9F-4AFC-BFFB-40A7FE3E9938&d=20150114 Today's programme will stage R/32 for WS, WD and MD also first round (R/64) of MS discipline. A rematch of Thomas Cup Final, Liew Daren v Takuma Ueda should be interesting to follow. Sindhu is fave to retain her 2013 title, her major threat will be coming from Japanese WS.
the defending champion Danny Bawa Chrisnanta/Chayut Triyachart crashed out by MAS Chooi Kah Ming/Teo Kok Siang in score 15-21 21-12 21-18...
The biggest upset so far, another seeded player was already out, Hsu Jen Hao (8th) who lost to Thai Suppanyu Avihingsanon.
WS frontrunner, P.V. Sindhu passes first hurdle smoothly and will take on KOR young talent, Kim Hyo Min tomorrow, Macau Open GP Gold final rematch last November.
Is there a fault with livescore? It suggests they're only using 2 courts, but there are 17 matches yet to start. It is already 11pm?!?!
And caused MS R/16 & XD R/16 will be played tomorrow. Day-3 order of play (09.00am local time, 4 courts) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=6ACFA5AB-0E9F-oc4AFC-BFFB-40A7FE3E9938 Today's programme : - MS R/64 (remaining matches) & R/32 - WS R/16 - MD R/32 (remaining matches) & MD R/16 - WD R/32 (remaining matches) & WD R/16 - XD R/32 Two vast experienced MS will meet each other for R/16 slot, Lee HI v Hu Y. Japanese WS players dominate R/16, 1 last eight ticket has been guaranteed through Takahashi v Ito.
Sai praneeth vs lee hyun II ... I dont think sai will move ahead to the next round unless he come up with more consistent display.
Day-4 : R/16 MS & XD, Quarterfinals (08.00am local time, 3 courts) : https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...CFA5AB-0E9F-4AFC-BFFB-40A7FE3E9938&d=20150116 The R/16 of MS and XD are already started, none of INA representatives to move forward into quarters for singles disciplines, disappointing outcome. Two semifinal spots have been secured by Japanese WS, second seed Sindhu has advantage to pass last eight round against Porntip who doesn't perform well lately.
The unseeded Singaporean Derek Wong stuns third seed Parupalli Kashyap in rubber games while title contender Lee Hyun Il assures his place in last eight after defeated Indian Sai Praneeth, 21-15 / 21-17.
Round of 16 matches had been completed, the quarterfinal stage will kick off on 03.00pm local time, there're 7 ties which involve players from same nation.
