So today our teams lost their respective matches against China in the Uber cup and against Indonesia in the Thomas cup ... But our Thomas cup team has already booked their place in the quarters ... They will face Malaysia in the quarter-final.
I m really started feeling some mental block for Saina against Yanjiao Jiang ... In the first game Saina was leading 18-12 but lost 19-21 ... Then in the second game Saina was trailing 6-12 then 12-16 but she made it 19-all ... Then again lost final 2 points ... Overall disappointing performance by our women.
Terrific performance was given by young Sai Praneeth in the final match against Indonesia ... Before this match India were lost their tie but still Sai gave his best ... After losing the first game he was down 2-7 in the second ... He equalized at 9-all and from 15-all he won last 6 points to won the second game ... In the final game he take control from the start and take sizable lead at 11-3 and after that completed formality of winning this game and the match ... This was 90th ranked Sai's first top-25 win from his short career.
