The disparity in standard showed in this match, Li Xuerui a class above Han Yue in terms of technical skills and experience, the only drawback is her physical condition is not tip-top. That's how LXR makes her experience and superior technique count throughout the tournament, round after round.
The umpire is like a boy sitting and facing the school principal in his office. So tensed and uneasy.. Congrats to Ko/Eom haha. I suppose Ko is a better XD player than MD.
Missed the match, nevermind the scoreline is really encouraging LXR is back on the block, it's a pity that we have to wait for months to see her again. OTOH could also mean HY lacks physicality to play back to back tourneys just yet. Meanwhile in Indian IC great victory for LS avenging his WJC defeat in front of home crowd in a rather lop sided affair. Second tournament win for Asmita chaliha 2/2 titles in her "senior career". Shocking to see Akarshi loosing against Vrushali and vaishanvi not participating at all. Also, Sumeeth BR paired up with MR Arjun, a test tourney, or did we witness a split from Mannu Atri? They recently showed some signs of success would be a terrible time to split off
