Ajay played good match against Jin Chen ... In the first game Jin take 5-0 lead but Ajay fought back winning next 4 pts ... Again Jin was leading 5-9, this time also Ajay won next 4 pts to make it 9-all ... THis was the trend of the game, Jin was taking lead and Ajay was catching him but at 18-all Ajay won next 3 pts to won the first game ... In the second game Jin take early couple of points lead and he kept until 12-13 but from here he won next 8 pts in a row to make it 1 game all ... In the decider both players were neck to neck ... Ajay take 10-7 lead but Jin managed to equal at 10-all ... But after 10-11 down Jin won next 11 pts to stamped his authority to win this match ... Still creditable performance from Ajay.
Saina's opponent Pui Yin Yip was playing with ankle injury ... Her ankle was tapped up and her court movement was clumsy ... But still Saina played excellent game ... She was dictating points with all court game, she was moving Pui all over the court and setting points to win it ... It was delighted to watch Saina's cross-court half smashes, drops and smashes which were working like a charm ... After winning the first game losing only 3 pts Saina again started well in the second ... Pui was trying hard but couldn't manage to play her regular game ... At 5-13 she decided to quit the match ... So Saina in the quarters at World championship with not playing 60 mins on the court ... Tomorrow will be the big test for her against Xin Wang in the quarters ... I m hopeful for Saina after looking her first 2 matches ... She is looking into zone and fit, she is covering court without any sign of her ankle injury from which she recovered, good sign.
Jwala and Ashwini scored hard fought comeback win over 11th seed Hong Kong pair to moved into quarter-final ... With this win they showed their last round win over 2nd seed pair wasn't fluke.
Danish team dominated match to complete straight games victory over Diju and Jwala.
