superb victory of SHIBATA Saki vs ZHANG Rui
SHIBATA is the rising player among the Japanese. I think she is much more aggressive than most of hear colleagues, and she is absolutely fierce and fearless. I'm really impressed and want to see more of her playing against the top Chinese players.

This main draw (on men's side) might see the most number of Chinese players in recent years. There are 4 seeded Chinese players already in the main draw, plus 5 unseeded who might well qualify. If they do, this Swedish open is starting to feel more like Chinese super league... I feel like there's a good chance that all four players in the semifinal round could be Chinese.

This is unreal. So FZD has to beat LDS, ZY, ML, and LGY just to get into the final... may have the same fate next week at Austria Open. Wow

I have a strong feeling LJK will take down ML this time. Woojin is another darkhorse lurking around to do damage. He took out Chuqin quite easily.

This match should be a cracker (there's a pun somewhere, with what the balls are going to endure).
What a tournament.
Also, go Can!!

Ma Long is out due to injury. It's personally the worst possible situation as I've never seen him play live and that won't change as it seems. Maybe he's gonna be watching in the audience, that opens up a selfie moment

Real shame about Ma Long. At this point he should forget about everything except the 2019 world's and getting fit to defend his title there.
Also amazing result for Kallberg/Moregard beating FZD/LJK in the doubles!
