LOL, I wouldn't call that targetting their opponents when they have gotten only 2 points in the game.
Not really. They were nowhere near their best and I think the JPN defence and determination surprised them a little. In the end their experience carried them through
Does it seem like the courts are too close together? Unless the Overview Cam is deceiving me, I find that so. Also no partitions (advertising boards) between courts and only plastic tables for players to put their bags on
For one the picture is 720x576 (5:4 instead of regular 4:3) and how close is too close? It's definitely not to close in regulations standard ... 4:3 actually makes it look even narrower; those tables are miles better than those silly baskets you have to bend down for and hardly fit the bags (imo) On a sidenote I've also noticed Court 4 has been streaming from a different server instead of ustream like the other courts ...
It is recommended that there shall be at least two meters (61⁄2 feet) clear space surrounding all the outer lines of the court, this space also being a minimum requirement between any two courts marked out side by side. Interesting match coming up on Court 1 (if it works)
OK, maybe it's the TV angle. I've seen birds from one court fly into another at a higher rate than normal
