17th Incheon AG 2014 : Day-8 (27th September) - Individual Event (QF, SF, Final)

Thank you

 

I second this. More in store for this delightful duo!

 

hoping for an all CHN finals in mixed doubles and men's singles, it will just be a boring match without china

 

I think he best pairs in the tourney should prevail to make the final interesting, not always CHN..

 

3rd. This is undoubtedly the highest achievement for INA WD for quite a long long time. Well done Girls!

 

China usually has the best players, but what you said makes sense though good example is in men's double, china needs to hire better coach for their men's doubles

 

CHN's chief coach was a doubles player. Something must be wrong somewhere.

 

It will be very interesting if there is any other country in the fray.

 

china mens double are weak, dont know what happen? they are to depending on cai yun/fu haifeng. other country create new pair but china far behind. just like malaysia to depends on LCW.

 

So proud with Greysia and Nitya.
Unexpressed feeling

Can someone link me to a draw for the matches please?

-never mind, found it on OP

 

The Government, PBSI and even the club will shower the players with brand new house, and bonus money. For gold it is defiinitely a brand new house and big money. They can be the MVP this year.

 

It will be boring match if it is an all CHN finals.

 

Greysia Polii/Nitya, i'm so proud of you!!!

the first gold in Women's Doubles after such a long time.

wooohooo, Indonesia has the chance to sweep out the gold from Doubles Department, if everything according to the plan.

 

Have they won against BYX/TJH or MaJin/TJH yet?

 

Hendra/Ahsan is to avenge their 2 previous loss to YYS/LYD. This is going to be a mega final vs. the home country shuttlers in their own home like how Hendra/Kido won Beijing 2008 Olympic MD gold in China vs. FHY/CY. I believe Hendra has not won an Asian Gold Medal yet.

 

I believe today's Lin Dan is a wee bit below the WC'13 LD and undeniably pales in comparison with the LD of Beijing'08 - London'12.

So, not playing reverse psychology, I make bold to say this is once again LCW's best chance to beat Lin Dan tomorrow unless LD has other ideas and suddenly up his game for being motivated by his perpetual rival. Nevertheless, hope to see a sizzling battle between them.

As for Chen Long, I truly wish he uses his brains more,learn to think on his feet and adjust his game according to his opponent and the demands of the situation, hopefully acquire the ability to play more intelligently like Sun Jun who specially trained him for the Copenhagen WC. If he continues to rely mainly on his raw power, agility and reach to play a plainly effective, straightforward but predictable textbook game, I'm afraid he would every now and then come across clever,persistent opponents who can give him a hard time or even beat him in crucial matches on the big occasions where he is also burdened with undue pressure to deliver. My humble opinion.
