Well, at least one Indian player in the quarters. Both girls lost. Now, let's see if parupalli can bring some big O for Jan O!
G1 goes to Wei Nan, no surprises, actually. Wei Nan will either play tight net shots forcing you to lift for him to attack or push flat to the corners to get you out of position. He is loathed to give the lift away and being so tall he wants to bring every shuttle down as much as possible.
I've a feeling Chen Long is going to deny us another dream final and he is making it look 'convincing' (I wanna kick his backside).
I recall how Xue Song struggled and lost to Wei Nan the first time they met at the Dutch Open but subsequently he learnt how to deal with Wei Nan and beat him decisively at the CHN Masters.
Chen Long is so reactive and being pushed around by his opponent. He's going to lose if he doesn't up the pace, take the initiative more , anticipates WN's net shots and fast flat pushes to the back better.
Chen Long has to play his attacking best to take the final two points in deuces to win the match, 19-21,21-18, 24-22; a very close match indeed.
