Even ZSW/HYQ was a bit shaky in G1, the occasion on home soil putting more pressure on them than normal
Umpire helped Shi yuqi to proceed to next round , i would say. That was a breather for Shi Yuqi. That Stupid umpire . There should be a instant review system for Umpire calls. We are in 2018, still BWF is in 19 th century. What a waste! I would not call this as defeat . Match should be played without any bias and without any malfunction or any wrong decisions by umpires, linesmen and others. There are so many discrepancies in the system still which are needed to be handled. What if there are wrong calls made by linesmen and the player does not have enough challenges to challenge? What if Umpire himself make wrong decisions? Service Umpires are like gods!. Whatever he tells, is correct?!. Players are the backbone of BWF and how come when they are robbed of a point by officials on the court based on their personal interests.
Whoa missed the whole matches...zheng siwei to the final again....I like him, but hope wang/huang could win tomorrow.
Only watched it when the upset is close, but if SYQ were the one at the end of that then someone wouldnt call it life but sure its cheating. Too bad its SV at the end of that..SYQ knew what he was doing lashing that racket.
Successful challenges doesn't count. So if there are more than 10 wrong calls and the players succeed in all of them, they will still have 2 challenges left so basically unlimited. I concur with the service judge calls though. Umpires decisions could be reviewed, but service judges decision is only known by the service judge on duty.
hmm that's a bit more difficult though. Touching the net or hitting over the net are easier to implement as challenges.
I know that rule. But is it good if the player challenges twice and lost the two. But if the linesmen really made a wrong call and the player does not have any challenges left? So many discrepancies which are needed to be addressed if BWF really wants badminton to flourish. Otherwise, More and more will leave the scenario. Sponsors won't come forward if they won't address those issues. And Umpire decisions.!
Wang Yilu is saying his match yesterday finished late and he only got to sleep after 1 a.m. When he woke up this morning and realized he has to play the second match of the day, he was taken aback as he was still feeling sleepy and a bit soft. And he has words of praise for Yuta Watanabe, admiring his strong physique and his ability to negotiate two semifinals, XD and MD. WYL added, the JPN XD pair, Watanabe/Higashino, has always been their main rival, very strong, we really have to be at our best to take them on, just a little bit off-form or ease off and we may lose the match.
I imagine it would be a similar implementation since both evaluating a straight plane, one is vertical the other is horizontal. So it's the task of the players to utilized challenges wisely. Free challenges ultimately will be abused by players to get breaks.
Hmmm steen being with someone (i don't know who) on session 1, so I guess it will be gill and morten for the second session ?
Yes, that other commentator said the 2nd session would be Gill and Morten I have been wondering that commentator's name though till now.. lol Anyone happens to know?
Do two losing semifinalists get same points (one player reaching first in his group stage and another player in second place) ?
