    Change of ends is going to be interesting as WSX may hit more out the back of the court with those attack clears that have been effective so far.

    WSX controlling the rallies very well. Not hitting out the back of the court.

    WSX just won't hit the smash even when the situation calls for it sometimes.

    Sayaka has no choice but to play more aggressively, smashing more, or WSX will force her to run all over the court, twisting and turning.

    The last few rallies, we see that WSX is very strong playing from the extreme corners to another corner.

    When Sayaka plays in the court a bit more, WSX might play the shuttle out.

    WSX, please don't play safe, be more forceful, pile on the pressure.

    Why didn't WSX smash that one, it's just like her to drop shot...

    Again, I'd have smash that shot from ST's short lift.

    I'm surprised ST didn't see that sliced shot coming.

    Unlikely Sayaka is able to fight back as WSX is able to anticipate and reply well, 19-10.

    Sayaka lost confidence in her smashes.

    See what I mean about Sayaka? It's so infuriating to watch her play - unforced errors left and right and absolutely no fight when she knows she has to deliver this crucial point for her nation.

    She just may have handed the win to China right there.

    what a contrast between these two.

    one tall, one not so much
    one attacking player, one retrieval and control
    one slower, one fast
    one inconsistent, one solid as rock.
    one always smile after ever rally, one looks like she will kill you with a machette
    one loses, one wins.
