Saina take early 6-2 lead against Youn and kept that to win the first game comfortably ... The second game was very close, Youn take couple of times 2 points lead but Saina managed to keep pace with her ... But from 18-all Youn won 2 points to gave herself game points ... Again Saina saved those 2 points to make it 20-all ... Youn saved couple of match points, 22-all ... Youn converted 3rd game point to won this game ... In the third game Saina take early 7-5 lead which she increased to 11-7 but Youn won 9 points in a row from 12-15 down to completed upset win in 61 minutes ... May be fitness issue?
Year 2011 turning into disastorous for Saina, who lost against many different players from top 20 ... Not a great preparation for London Olympics.
Ajay fought against Wong but failed to win crucial points which cost him the match ... In the first game Wong was leading 12-8 but Ajay take lead winning 4 poits from 13-15 ... Wong made it 17-all and won 3 points in a row from 18-all to win the first game ... In the second game Ajay take 9-7 lead ... Wong won next 7 points to take 14-9 lead but Ajay responded winning next 6 points ... Wong managed to open 17-15 and 19-16 lead but again Ajay made it 19-all ... Wong won last 2 points to comple victory.
Tago scored lot easier win against Kashyap though in both game Kashyap produced fight in early stages.
Expected win for Jwala and Ashwini against Aussie pair ... Next they r facing unseeded Malaysian pair, who upset 5th seed Taiwani pair in the first round ... Good chance for Jwala and Ashini to enter into quarters and give big boost to their chances of qualifying for London Olympics.
Other hand one-sided loss for Rupesh and Sanave against seeded Malaysian pair.
Jwala also had winning start in mixed doubles with Diju against Indonesian pair ... Next they r facing WR #3 Danish pair.
