51st Portuguese International

Sai Praneeth stuns Lee Chong Wei....

[opruh 129]

I expected Lee Chong Wei to be one of the finalists, the Indian player is so good  that's a huge upset.

Some other upsets:

Polii and Maheswari (2nd seeds) beaten (though the opponents are no. 10)

and HK Vittinghus beating Wang Zhengming

The defending champion Chen Long was booted out by his younger compatriot Xue Song.

Some good news.

Carsten Mogensen is already back in the game working towards Rio after his bursted aneurism.

And Cai Yun/MathiasBoe combination is not allowed by Chinese Badminton Association..

 

Anyway, our Indonesian hope was on Praveen and Debby but they're facing Zhang/Zhao

[opruh 129]

^ Zhang/Zhao are out  Praveen/Debby too strong for them this time.

By the way, I'm not familiar with the qualification system. How many men and women qualify to RIO in the singles event?

16 pairs in doubles, 36 athletes in singles. 

 

No Lithuanians are close to qualify for Rio if you wonder...
