    Either Momota cannot get past himself as an opponent or his coaches suck!

    Last time I read some bs about energising his body or whatever. This is clearly not working.

    They are being stupid with him. I wish he could go train somewhere else damn it.

    I think the conditions here were not conducive for him. He will probably do better in the Thomas Cup

    Momota should play as many tourney as possible! Whether 300 or 500! He needs consistent play time.

    Yes. Has to play so many tournaments. Otherwise , once the rankings are unlocked, he will move many rankings downwards. It's very difficult afterwards considering his mental stage, current form, age everything taken into account.

    I think it might be interesting if Kenichi Tago can be invited to be part of Momota's coaching team. Strictly just for badminton of course . Not for other things. Tago is very talented and has won many top players (Chen Long, Lee Chong Wei, ..) before. It is such a waste of talent not to use him. He has already paid enough for his bad behavior. He can contribute to Japan and help many players.

    Nanananana - Sato Soji should be good.

    Perhaps the moonphases influence the play of athletes? Both Ginting and Momota should play better in the very near future I speculate :D

    Momota actually not playing the USA because what? We're gonna quote unquote reserve his energy?? My foot we're gonna reserve his energy. He is not going to be able to adapt against Malaysia and he will lose because of the drift.

    Are they afraid he would lose and his confidence would drop too much when playing LZJ later?

    If he can not win Lee Zii Jia, how can face to Viktor ? He has to face to face with anyone.

    Trust him this time.

    Actually, the team Park choose today, Nishimoto was the people you can trust the most

    Haha, this USA guy was using full of speed, while Nishimoto play slower to save energy for long road.

    Nishimoto can win this unexperienced guy

    This might be it - but with Momota's current situation I'd rather he'd play today before LZJ.


    Oh for sure!

    Meanwhile LZJ had a very body warming match against UK.

    Yeah exactly! This left me godsmacked. He should be playing, getting used to conditions in a competitive match and getting miles in those legs.

    Nooooo, they send Nishimoto instead.

    He has to be playing against England later right? If not, why include him in the team

    Because Japan is not just "Momota" like other teams.

    Why people didn't ask that Watanabe haven't played yet or something like that.

    Because watanabe is there to mix things up, a strategy. He has no regular partner in MD
