Zhang Nan / Zhao Yunlei beat Joachim Fischer / Christinna Pedersen: 15-21 / 21-17 / 21-17 the Jinx has been broken.
Great sportsmanship shown by the CHN pair. Good job defeating the Danes for the first time, gives themselves a huge psychological boost.
ZYL really know what to say. she says even though losing 2nd game. she think since many Chinese fans are cheering for them, they cannot lose. so she went and won the match for the fans.
Can someone tell me the tactical purpose (especially chris cc) of both pair attacking only each other's male players in the 1st game? Even the female players were returning shots to male opponents.
I think towards the end of the 3rd game, CP was letting the pressure got too much to her, and was wishing that Fisher take care of all the shots, hence when the chinese attacked her she wasn't putting away the shots nicely.
