Kudos to this Thai player whose name is too long to spell...

Nah, Supanut is one of the coolest named guys in the universe. And Wisutmaythangkoon is not too long to spell.

Ah ... Hayata is quite good against choppers ...

It’s no walk in the park so far. Hayata lead and might have closed the match in the 5th. But she did not, and Li Jie took control and has the momentum now.

Hayata seems to be in serious trouble ....

Li Jie is 35 years old and her best world ranking was 17, quite long ago.

11:6 Hayata into the main draw.

Hayata seems to be in serious trouble ....

So she was, but she found her way again and reigned supreme in the decider. Good for her, solid performance by Li Jie.

 

[Sali]

Incredible achievement, let's see how far she will go.

 

[Vlad Celler]

Incredible achievement, let's see how far she will go.

The probability that in the first round she will play with a Chinese woman is at least one third ...

Dunno if this is the right place to ask but I saw that Jorgic got a yellow card for throwing his bat on the table. What are the consequences of a yellow card?

Women's Singles Main Draw

- Chen Meng vs Mori Sakura
- Linda Bergstrom vs Wang Yidi
- Chen Xingtong vs Kato Miyu
- Liu Shiwen vs Yuan Jianan

Quarter 1 will likely be dyed red after the Round of 32 but WYD has fallen to choppers many times so, maybe LB will be the sole survivor.

- Ishikawa Kasumi vs Liu Fei
- Feng Tianwei vs Gu Yuting
- Suh Hyowon vs Qian Tianyi
- Zhu Yuling vs Nagasaki Miyu

Highlights for me are the revenge match between ZYL and Nagasaki as well as Kasumi's opening match against a Chinese player in quite some time.

- Wang Manyu vs Hamamoto Yui
- Doo Hoi Kem vs Yang Xiaoxin
- Hirano Miu vs Hina Hayata
- Ito Mima vs Sato Hitomi

The strongest Japanese women (excluding Kasumi) all clustered together. Hirano and Hayata seems to be split 50-50 while Ito has always been rather steady against choppers.

- Sun Yingsha vs Jeon Jihee
- Matilda Ekholm vs Hashimoto Honoka
- Cheng I-Ching vs Shibata Saki
- Ding Ning vs Britt Erland

Ekholm might be schooled by Hashimoto but otherwise, I don't see the other qualifiers winning.

What did Hayata do in her previous life to deserve this?

First Ito in Czech Open, now Hirano in Swedish Open.

Never thought Zennoh had so much pull...

One might surmise. Did she pull a Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu in a previous life, and would the shamefulness of that even transgress the boundaries of a single life? One wonders. Eternal shame indeed!

But on the more serious side of things, you're hinting at a conspiracy there, zeio. I see no reason for that, and it's not that good a penchant, the hang for conspiracy theories, I'd say.

"Zen ... ha ha ... but this cluster is as bad as it can get, only "Ishi" is missing ... ; )

 

[karupinkun]

Hirano vs Hayata will be played at table 4. There are just streams for table 1-3. Great scheduling once again...

 

[zeio]

Hayata saved G2. Harimoto's grip looks different.

Hayata played really well. Harimoto did a lot of mistakes. Harimotos doubles are often kinda lackluster

 

[zeio]

Hayata = Man
Harimoto = Woman

Having observed Hong Kong Open, Japan Open and now Swedish Open, Hayata is practically doing all the leg work. Harimoto is really poor for a 16-year-old boy when it comes to running.

Shibata can beat Cheng.

His footwork is really atrocious.
