Yonex Open JAPAN SS 2015 : The FINALS (13th September 2015)

LD plays so much better against LCW.

 

VA played great in G1 though lost. Really the most promising uprising young generation, no over-rating.

 

VA is mentally unstable...

He looks frustating by his own mistake now...

 

VA is trying to force LD to lift to him as often as possible and then whack it down hard whenever the opportunity presents itself.

 

From Youtube chat, "if VA wins i think gill is going to have an orgasm"


Some interesting conversation they are having there.

 

VA 353km/H cross court smash. These speed guns accurate?

 

LIN Dan netted that one, a sign of fatigue in my opinion after two smash saves.

 

He wanted to remind everyone that he exists, and doing some job, instead of just free loading on this match.

 

Looks like we are going have a decider, bad for Lin Dan.

 

Funny how Lin Dan is the GOAT but creates the most doubt in all his supporters. They are quite pessimistic, considering how they rate him. Can he really be the GOAT then? Hehe.

 

yea, they are funny over there. wish we can have some here..

 

LD caught by VA's trick return of serve, a sign that he's tired and not very alert.

 

If this is really the way Lin Dan plays, he should take a retirement.

 

Lin Dan really must work on his fitness, no two ways about it; LYB himself has already said so.

 

As I've said earlier, a three-setter favours VA.

 

VA has to keep calm and exploit LD's fitness to take the 3rd set.

 

VA movement early in his career and fitness has always been suspect. But he's really come a long way.

 

Seem to get a common theme with Federer's supporters too.

The difference is that LD supporters can and should relax. He's won everything that matters multiple times over, and has a positive H2H against everyone that matters. The only thing that matters for him in the next 12 months is All England and Rio. All this is just match practice/fitness for those majors. Doesn't matter if he wins or loses these.
