Yonex Sunrise India Open 2015

Post by sameerph »

The tournament is slated to take place next week in New Delhi. As Sin hombre stated in badminton rankings thread, this assumes even more importance this time due to distinct possibility of Saina taking over as world no. 1.

The possibilities are discussed here at the BWF site -

World of a Battle for No.1
Of course Indian fans are hoping Nehwal – who turned 25 on March 17 – can cap a historic week by winning the trophy which she has failed to clinch on home turf since the India Open joined the BWF World Superseries circuit in 2011. The only obstacle looming large in her way is if equally talented world No.4 Carolina Marin (72098 points) makes the final while Nehwal falls in the quarter-finals or earlier; or 21-year-old Marin (BWF home page; right) wins the tournament and Nehwal fails to make the final.

Should both reach the final, Nehwal’s No.1 status is assured.
Apart from this race, I hope Indian men also do well this week. None had done particularly well last year. So, whoever does well will earn a lot in terms of rankings.

If its, free good for me.
But its a shame that people don't want to pay for such high quality badminton.
I paid 3000 to watch IPTL, and it was more of a joke on tennis.

Still, great to see 3 Indian men in the QF at this tournament when we had just one last year. And superb win by Prannoy against world no. 2.

These are the match-ups for the QF's -

[QF] H. S. Prannoy (IND,17) vs. (6) Victor Axeksen (DEN,6)
[QF] (2) K. Srikanth (IND,4) vs. Takuma Ueda (JPN,23)
[QF] (Q) R. M. V. Gurusaidutt (IND,60) vs. Xue Song (CHN,43)

[QF] (1) Saina NEHWAL (IND,2) vs. Hana Ramadhini (INA,77)

Srikanth and Saina will be the favorites in their matches. Srikanth won his match against Japanese player just a couple of weeks back at Swiss open. Prannoy and Guru will have a tough task ahead of them. Hope they spring a surprise too.

[QF] H. S. Prannoy (IND,17) l. (6) Victor Axelsen (DEN,6) 21-16 9-21 18-21

Live stream on youtube...

Prannoy makes a great start against Axelsen winning the first game, but is down 2-11 in the second.....
Lost the second game 9-21, on to the decider...

Down 6-11 in the decider....
Prannoy making a comeback... 6-12 to 10-12...
Saved two matchpoints at 16-20, but no more.........
Tough match for Prannoy...
Hopefully he'll ride on this success and do more this year..... :goodluck:

[QF] (1) Saina NEHWAL (IND,2) d. Hana Ramadhini (INA,77) 21-15 21-12

Easy win for Saina.... :clap:
But Marin won her QF match too...
So, Saina needs to win one more match for a guaranteed #1 spot.... But go get the title that you have never won Saina.... :goodluck:
