So unfortunate, may he recover soon.

 

At this point just having a tournament is good.. If badminton is unable to restart, the whole sport will collapse.

From all Indians out in R16 last week to 4 quarterfinalists this week. 

Mixed, Men's Doubles and 1 each in both the singles. Hoping for at least one of them in the finals.

For the first time ever Turkey will have a quarter finalist in a Super 1000 tournament. Yiligit faces Marin today.

This is not my favorite sport anymore.  I prefer figure skating now. Although the now retired Wang Shixian is still one of my most favorite athlete ever.

And welcome to another shitshow where Indonesian team is forced to withdraw from All England in accordance to British government regulation because they are “in the same flight with an anonymous positive patient”

 

While the Turkish player who is also in the same flight will be playing her second round match today
