A slow start by Chen Long, casually driving the shuttle straight across and getting punished time and again.
11-3....................CL do a Lin Dan...............And match his greatness.........Golden Chance for You.
You know, unlike LCW, Chen Long is not one who likes to destroy his opponents. Also he is often a bit slow to warm up and settle in.
Some players are just particularly motivated and inspired when playing certain opponents. VA wasn't playing like that against Momota yesterday.
So the first set is won by Axelsen 21-12. So did he watch the video of Chen Long training and playing? Just wondering....
