So sad that Langridge is already nearing retirement, I hope GBR finds an equally good replacement for Ellis-- who played like a MS to beat the Chinese MD!!! But I guess Langridge's hiccups should be cured after this win, LOL!
How some people change their views of Marin so fast. The past one year when Marin has been vulnerable losing to Nozomi, Wang SX, Saina Nehwal, P V Sindhu, Wang Yihan, what were they saying ? I guess the same is happening to the likes of Intanon Ratchanok, Tai Tzu Ying, or anybody other than a CHN WS stealing the limelight for a while. How fickle-minded.
“Doing a Langridge" Defination, taking a breather at crucial moment by mean of tying shoelace or challenging a line call
That is your opinion and I have mine which is different. I think Marin did the right thing to play same as before as she did not know what kind of injury opponent had. Also we don't know what Marin said to LXR after the match.
Marin seems to always play well on a big occasion like world championships and now olympics. Reminds me of certain chinese MS player.
