HSBC BWF WORLD Tour Finals 2018 : Group Stage Matches - Final (12-16 December)

had someone ever failed at this coin toss ? like the coin dropped or something

 

I won't rule out Shi Yuqi but he got to show mental toughness, once he's 4 or 5 points down, he's mentally defeated already

 

Made in China bought it from Aliexpress

 

Yes I have seen it happened a few times. One time the umpire failed twice in a row lol must be the nerve

 

there.were some videos on youtube where the coin dropped to the floor...i don remember where though ahah

 

a coin dropped on the floor still shows which side it's on unless it stood on its edge !

 

orange shoes eh.....

 

a bold statement by GC, SYQ might get thru today

 

For me, I just want to see Shi Yuqi play freely or throw caution to the wind, fearlessly as if nothing to lose

 

Right, simple straightforward shots all the time just won't work, Momota's reading and anticipation is a cut above all the players in his generation.

 

Dare to attack , that's important for an attacking player like SYQ

 

A very good start for shi yuqi.

 

SYQ must be patient yet inject pace and attack at every opportunity, like Ginting

 

Fair, I didn't know that.

Here's screen grab of the initial contact.

(use dot and comma to back and forward by frame)

Though, like what I've said in my post. The shuttlecock was in its down trajectory on the SV's side of the court. Means SYQ racket had to cross the net to hit the shuttle. If after reviewing the video some of you still disagree. Just let's agree to disagree.

 

SYQ casually clearing to KM's right-hand side is asking for trouble

 

Once SYQ loses his lead, then I'm not sure if he can hold on

 

4 points advantage against KM may not be enough

 

11-7 keep it up SYQ!

 

It looks like SYQ is already tired: I wonder how long long he can last.

 

Good speed, SYQ
