    Of course, I missed the Seinen/Piek v. Japan WD. If anyone sees this one popping up online somewhere, please let me know.

    You didn't respond to me initially by calling my attention with an @ in your reply to someone else,no ? Anyway, that's not important and beside the point.

    In my opinion, it's absolutely no shame to beat your opponent on superior fitness/stamina, for, after all, badminton is a physically demanding sport where you compete both on skills and fitness as well as other factors such as mental strength, experience, maturity, even smartness, court sense.

    I recall Momota in one of his previous post-match interviews, saying something like, he was feeling tired at one point but when he realized his opponent was even more tired, etc, etc, he .... That's it for me, nothing personal.

    I still haven't watched the Momota - Ginting match, so I am not really qualified to comment here, ... but to be fair, one of Momota's tactics (and he has confirmed this in multiple interviews) is actually to inject pace and aggressiveness in the final quarter of a game, once he senses any sign of tiredness in his opponents.

    As I did not watch yesterday's game, I have no idea how tired Ginting looked. Ginting did, however, mention in a post-match interview that Momota altered his game to have the former moving alternatively to the front and back of the court. And this unexpected change in playing styles could conceivably have impacted Ginting's stamina. At the very least, it will have disorientated him.

    Whatever the case, Momota deserves all due credit for, 1) having changed his strategy to deal with Ginting, and 2) pacing himself well enough to be able to change gears at the critical point in the match.

    Momota may possibly play a more intelligent game than Ginting. If so, then this intelligence will probably render the two-year age difference between them insignificant.

    well, INA should make Arisa become INA citizen.
    Or, make a copy of her and export the copy one to INA.

    If you want to make a copy why not make a better one instead like Natsir's?

    Ah, that's even better. But, Natsir might be pissed off because of Praveen's error.

    Btw, I have put emoticon in my post but didn't show up. I don't know why?

    Triple China MD on the court.

    It might be difficult to concentrate if LC/ZN dont play well again.

    I’m actually starting to like CTC, with the amount of tournament he is playing in he don’t seem to get tired out ! Such a consistent player I would even say

    You obviously don't understand either concept. Apart from that it's absolutely relevant to the discussion, because in order to avoid giving credit to the player you don't want to win, you constantly conjour up the "stamina issues".

    All of that is nothing but your opinion. That alone is not convincing in any discussion, but since you constantly use that stick when players win you don't want to win, it becomes even less so.

    I really don't care if you "take umbrage". Root for a Japanese player because you like their play or character or both and convince me otherwise. Won't happen, as we both know.
    I'm far from being Japanese. Reason being the combination of talent and sportsmanship/character, I root for CL, RI, NO, Juhl/Pedersen, KM, LCW, TTY, ASG, SYQ, anyone who plays Marin, Takamatsu, but mostly AY.
    I'm going to ignore the several ad hominem attacks, which I'm sure you think constitute "constructive debates".

    Totally agree with Ginting being Momota's most tricky (I might add: most competent)opponent.
    I think we could tell that from all their matches this year, not just this one.
    Personally, I like ASG's attacking style of play better than what Momota did yesterday, which seemed to me little more than waiting for (unforced) errors from the opponent. And ASG made a lot of them. Could quote myself from yesterday where I said this is going to spell trouble for KM going forward, but what's the point...

    That bit about prime is, again, more on the opinion side of things, don't you think? Ginting turns 22 in a couple of days, Momota turned 24 last month and the latter was barred from playing real tournaments for two years. They basically have had the same number of years as professionals in the SS/WT500+ circuit. And if you look at the quality LCW is still able to produce at his age, how top players can be affected by form and motivation or injuries (see: CM, CL), statements about who's prime is going to be when seem to be little more than what the lady with the headscarf and the glass ball does in her tent come fair time.

    The usual thing. ZN didn't play that well (he hardly does in the morning matches as far as I know), his smashes were weak(er) than usual even Morten emphasize it many times during the match, his touch didn't do a lot of wonder and LYH was quite clueless without ZN's game:confused: And to make things worse, the Indonesians played rather well and clever against him and his partner today.

    I think (hope) he might be more committed to the MD this time as they are the defending champion.

    Liu/Zhang won the match in straight games. Liu Cheng seemed to be in a better mood. Good to see
