I took the physicality into consideration. After playing both XD and MD, I thought Seo will be sluggish to handle XD . But he proved me wrong.
It was actually the chinese who were leading 14-11 in the first game, they ended up winning 21-14. it the second game I believe they were leading 15-7 or something like that, then liang lost his focus and ended up losing the second game 20-22 after failing to convert 3 MP. in the third game it was pretty even, when you just choked badly like that it's hard to regain your focus. I'm just talking specifically about yesterday match btw, if they didn't choked that badly in the 2nd I would consider that match to be pretty easy for liang/wang.
Agreed. Both VA & Prannoy struggle with Ng Tze Yong (NTY) & Kunlavut(KV). Some of NTY's strokes are closer to HSP, that's why?..but others(ASG,LKY etc) can beat NTY easily.. Similarly others like JC/SK may be comfortable with KV..... btw, VA tried to use more wrist in this tournament ! Even tried HSP style of lift to forehand backcourt (withwhich VA struggled in WC) in some times, but not successful like HSP.
In the semis, Hoki wasn't composed enough. In the 3rd game, he should have dropped cross court to his left with LWK standing in the middle backline and match won. Hendra would do that. Experience.
Sorry. Hoki Koba leading 11-8 and then it became 11-14 which means they lost 6 points on the trot. So it was anybody's game either ways. Agreed. If it was just the second set which you are focussing upon then yes, i agree with you.
Disagree that LKY beat NTY easily. I thought it's the reverse. NTY defeated LKY easily at the Commonwealth games and the recent games was 3sets marginal win for LKY
Pretty boring expected final. Semis and qtr final was better. There was a talk in bwf abt tty not using video analytics. Very naive. Every single data counts and will help. Lazy perhaps or they don't have a clue on how to use it?
I just watched the WS match. After ASY won the match she was about to go to her coach, but then turned back to shake hands with Yamaguchi first. Marin did change people.... but never herself.
Yes.. only VA (& HSP) matches.. China open was not telecast in India!... So only watching short videos in youtube... Waiting for BWF to release full matches of VA & HSP to get full feel of watching!
Perhaps in the future, try accessing via a VPN. In US, I could watch the matches live. I know some browsers have built in VPN, that should get you through for free.
Urban VPN for easy use (Chrome Extension). Proton VPN for PC, which covers full application + 10Mbps speed.
If chia/soh dint beat the koreans, I wonder if liang/wang would have still won? Maybe they will but not so easily
