Actually the reason he started to play MD is because he and Bao Yixin fell in love and coaches don't want to take risk anymore after what happened to ZN/ZYL
Zhang Nan is now doing better in MD than in XD. I think he really needs a new XD partner, Li Yinhui is not right for him
LC and BYX XD pair is broken up because they are in a relationship which is no longer allowed between the partners after ZN/ZYL/TQ fiasco.
If both LC and ZN are dating BYX, I expect they not talk to each other like TQ and ZYL? But I didn't see that case during the MD final. Interesting.
He still insists on doing double duty in both disciplines. Atm , Liu Cheng is not as good as Fu Haifeng yet, and he's looking for a better partner in XD
Neither ZN nor LC likes to talk during the match. I guess ZN will talk more to guide LC in the future but TBH they didn't really need to communicate today.
The women singles final earlier is definitely the best final of this world championship. Both PV Sindhu & Okuhara Nozomi fight till the very last point & gave everything they have until there's nothing left in their body. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before. One of the best badminton match of all time.
and i thought they might need help stepping onto the podium during the award ceremony. time for massage for both of them.
Ahmad and Natsir are probably the only players I know that don't apologize for lucky net shots, they even raise their fists and point them at their opponents.
