Well to be honest. Pardon my manners. Hpd actually looks like a boy. And obviously physically she is stronger. Got to admit that zsw is better then Wang though. But playing style they are similar.
The players are using the exact game plan of Zheng/Huang to beat them: 1. Make the opponent to move around the court 2. Vigilant female player at front 3. Force the opponent to play below the net 4. SMASH hard when there is an opportunity Play hard. Train harder.
LYG just told CYF to “smash the shuttle to death” despite the shuttle being slow lol. looks like the shuttle is really slow and posed challenges to may players this time.
So much for homeground advantage, a double-edge sword, CYF is feeling the pressure to deliver; it gets worse after a horrible G1 loss. Let's if she has what it takes to recover, steady herself, steel her nerves, and fight back.
CYF has overcome a 1-game deficit many many times. That won’t be an issue. The slow shuttle appears to be a problem, though.
Nozomi may prove an even more difficult opponent than Akane going into the Olympics, not just for CYF but everyone else.
Hope so. I personally don't care too much about fast/slow shuttles as long as they are approved by BWF, it's the same for both players, you just get have to get used to it.
In situations like this, it takes more than confidence and fighting spirit, experience and maturity also count.
