Just watched the replay of LD's match vs Momota. Holy, can LD even play a rth straight drop shot or a proper smash anymore?
His coverage of the round the head corner has been abysmal, especially by his former astronomical standards, these past 2-3 years. He also seems...
No LD, it wasn't you. It was SYQ being an ungodly attacking monster this entire tournament.
I respectfully disagree with you on this point. When he was younger and faster, his long corners, both forehand and backhand, were absolutely...
Lifts looked good against HYX
I get your point, but I think we need to put things in perspective a little bit. It may seem to you like LD makes an ungodly number of errors on...
Or the one at 20 all in the third against LCW in Rio...
Hmmm I never got that impression. He doesn't seem to mess up easy lifts more than other players to me. He just seems to go for more on his...
SWH needs to mix it up. This kind of metronomic ping-pong badminton won't exploit SYQ's movements and reaction to deceptions (his weak points).
He also has a tendency to be too clever for his own good with his deceptions. When they work, they're amazing. When they don't, they just make him...
It's not that he can't lift. He just gives opponents wayyyy to many opportunities to play tight net shots, and then tries extra hard to send the...
Just checked tournament software, HYX has won 23-21. Wtf happened there?
I'm rooting for Prannoy. He's gonna be fun to watch against Lin Dan
LCW's long forehand corner just isn't capable of producing good enough shots to pressure LD consistently. Axelsen on the other hand, has a lethal...
LCW never was able to beat LD "with ease" though. The patch where he beat LD 3 times in a row, each one of those matches went to 3 games (and...
Classic Lin Dan, playing his favorite strategy "pinning the long forehand, attacking the backhand defense" perfectly today.
I thought she has a dislike for Marin? I got the impression she was rooting for Yamaguchi all the way.
Yep, especially when the replay showed Marin serving from chest height every time she was faulted. The service judge was spot on.
AY's performance today has greatness written all over it. Terrific.
Ohori is really dangerous overhead. She just needs to get out of the net exchanges where TTY beats her handily.
