At $250K Adidas China Masters 2013, Changzhou, China (Superseries)

[R1] Ajay Jayaram (IND,24) l Yuekun Chen (CHN,30) 14-21 21-23

[R2] Anand Pawar (IND,39) l Sho Sasaki (JPN,21) 21-12 14-21 16-21

Ajay failed to overcome Chinese challenge and lost his match in 36 minutes ... After losing the first game easily Ajay fought hard in the second ... Both players were exchanging lead, then Ajay had 2 game points at 20-19 and 21-20 but both time he failed to convert ... Chen converted first match point for completing win in straight games.

Anand failed to take advantage of his yesterday's lucky break ... He lost in three games against Sho Sasaki in 55 minutes ... This was Anand's third loss against Sasaki and all three times Anand won the first game ... I think some issue with Anand's fitness or mental block as he fails to convert in win against his Japanese opponent Sasaki.
