2005 World Cup day 1

oh i found out... Chen Jin 2-0 Hafiz Hashim (21-17, 21-16)

 

sorry, it was very late here and i was just trying to stay awake.

overall, i am very impressed with J chen's skill and tactics-very balanced, no major weakness at all. He can change style of plays to take advantage of opponent's weak area. I really enjoy watching JC's games.

 

Agree (besides the plug ears).

This is a good "test" to see the players' reaction to the new system. Personally, I think the players will under more pressure in this system, as every single rally is more critical than before.

 

Yes 23 minutes for a relatively tight match and surely a very interesting one... what a waste !!!!!!!!

It has been reported that the new scoring system has been very favourable. Perhaps if any of you are watching these games live, it would be interesting to have your opinons.

 

Perhaps double games should play 5 x 21 instead of 3 x 21.

 

5x21 for doubles and mix I think would be a very good idea
