    My idol was Nishimoto, I lost at the first round.

    I don't care if Momota win or not. Just wait for king Lee Zii Jia's loss.

    And I have 2 cards left, Lakshya Sen and Viktor Axelsen. Goodluck!

    He doesn't use the same footwork though.

    Didn't expect He/Tan to win to be honest. Can they beat all other INA pairs to be a champion? Sounds like a hard job.

    Didn't BWF recently did away with the rule regarding not awarding points for players withdrawing/retiring from the same association?
    Hope this does not give BWF an excuse to reinstate the rule....

    There is a reason behind it. This fight has been done and dusted and now everybody knows about it and take it easy.

    What happened there, It was 10-9 when I went out, in 10 mins it came to 11-21.

    Badly hoped for KM to win this one.

    I agree. His movements in the 2nd half of g2, and most of g3 were close to the post ban version of KM. But he needs smashes like this to power through some stages of play

    Very poor choice of shots in the last quarter of G3 for KM. Like Gill said, LZJ was ready to pounce each and one of the shots. Why he keep lifting it at the same spot is a wonder.

    Did they? I am not really aware about this. I mean, I saw her match against Azurmendi and she looked fine to me physically then why give walk over before the match hasn't even started? Kinda strange. Twice this has happened in as many days.

    seems like He/Tan combination is better than last week He/Zhou, probably is Tan better player than He…

    I know that players have a certain feel on their form on day of play. Momota could have been struggling with some shots to certain areas of the court. Well, maybe not struggling but his feel and accuracy playing to that corner might not be so good.


    There's a sideways drift from right to left over to the backhand side of Lee for the last half of the match. KM maybe have been concerned about hitting the shuttle out in that area on lifts from the net.

    King LZJ maybe watch too much NBA until his powerful smashes are like King Lebron James’ Tomahawk dunks…

    Yes this regulation was changed right before German Open. Very suspicious that same nation withdrawals have already stated happening.

    This is a bit too simple for me. First of all, Momota actually has a great smash when he wants to (or feels confident enough, I can't look inside his head).

    Secondly, Momota has had a long journey back from injury, Covid and competition break and still nearly beat the "untouchable" Axelsen infront of his home crowd in Denmark and comfortably won the Indonesia 750 before getting injured again.
    If we're looking at it like this, Momota actually had success later than LZJ, who's last title was AE 2021 and who's had a really bad year after that.

    Yeah that's a fair point though. But still at least he could try mixing it for 1-2 points. Keep LZJ guessing.

    I think your assessment of physicality from earlier was actually spot on. KM looked more gassed at the end then LZJ.
