Yes you are right. That is why Gill Clark says the performance at the court is more important. Amazing that Lee Chong Wei won the match. Okay Malaysia leading 2-1 now.
I don't think so. If that so, he would not have won 2 superseries. Even many current top 10 players did not achieve that. For eg. Wang zhenming, tian Houwei etc. Just because he lost his today's match, does not mean he does not deserve that ranking. Even chenlong lost to Hu yun recently. So, nothing is certain in badminton.
LCW is improving match by match, quicker than I anticipated; he might just regain his top form before the end of this tournament. And he is demonstrating that during his eight-month absence, all those upstarts that emerged, he is going to put them in their places one by one.
With LCW's superb defence and amazing retrieving ability, at least half the opponent's errors are forced, not unforced, imho.
I still believe Jwala/Ashwini is IND's best WD combo, whether they can win this matchup is another question, fighting chance though.
BWF should do something to improve the service rule, so many service faults called just spoil the games why don't set a more relaxed service rule or more certain one instead of using the relativity of one's own waist level
Another service fault on Jwala. Maybe she should walk up to the service judge and ask him nicely," Can you show me where's my waist?"
that been discussed times and times again, the main problem is the inconsistency between service judges
Yeah, only Day 2 and so many service faults, that not just in doubles. I tend to view this rule as more subjective and occasionally arbitrary, it depends on which service judge is on duty.
