Haha probably. Hard to explain. Just felt it changed the moment Ginting managed to steal G2. The tension and intensity of their anxiety for each rally was just different. Not to mention Momota's body language itself showed it plainly. Wasn't like that when Wata/Higa or Fuku/Hiro were on court losing tightly. Now it's all back to normal air haha and I am still alive
When Momota enters any hall, the atmosphere changes. You can cut the air with a knife. But you were lucky to have been on that roller-coaster ride for one-and-a-half-hours!! I really envy you.
Felt that as well, even during the earlier half of the second set, even though Momota was a set up and leading 14-10, his body language showed that he was well aware it wasn't over until it's over.
No it didn't really until Ginting was "awaken" then you could cut the air with knife. Ginting's successful shots were just so breathtaking and everyone here knew that. Unfortunately his errors were as breathtaking for his supporters as much
Hmmm, but much to Ginting's credit, the errors were substantially reduced in G2 and G3. Incidentally, in his post-match interview, Momota attributed his win to the support from the audience. He strongly felt that he couldn't let his supporters down.
I think what makes it "breathtaking" for the audience is that they don't want to see the home favourite lose and not the otherwordly greatness of Ginting, but continue to tell yourself that.
That last rally of G1 was really intense... Too bad these two teams have to meet early...would like to see them both advance.
Haha that too. But come, blend in and feel it yourself. "Yappari hontoni umainda" is what they kept saying of Ginting.
his obvious weakness is consistency. he has yet to prove he is capable of more, hence his #8 world ranking. once momota broke the 9-9 tie in the 3rd i knew it was over. i noticed the slightest hint of fatigue set in on asg. now add fatigue to his natural inconsistency, and, well it doesn't matter if your opponent is tired as well.
