2013 MALAYSIA Open SS : Day 2 (16th January) - Round of 32

Sindhu needs to understand strategy and how to apply it. She needs to stop playing reactive badminton. Once she does this, it will be very difficult to stop her from winning all those 3-setters she's been losing so far.

Sure, why not?! :D
It takes time to work out strategy, you've got to see how the opponent plays on that day, and what the opponent's strategy is... the best players now almost always use all 3 games, for this reason. Except that skinny guy... :p

What you are forgetting is how strong MS is compared to WS. We are lucky to be living in an era that holds the two best players of all time by a long way. The current top womens singles players aren't anything like that good.

Also, Viktor does beat top 10 players on a regular basis already.

Physical maturity is a factor. Girls mature faster than boys so an 18 year old girl probably doesn't have much growing left to do while an 18 year old boy still has a lot to do. You can see it with Viktor, he's skinny and still a boy. The likes of TTY are women already.


Anyway, an in form LCW can beat anyone that badly, likewise for LD.

Viktor will start winning SS events when he's 22/23 years old and has the potential to be one of the best in the world. Sadly, no one who is coming up has anywhere near the ability of LCW and LD and we'll be waiting many many years for anyone near their level.

It's nice to see Scotland represented and doing well.

Can't actually judge that fairly as LD was 20 when he started dominating and LCW only got really strong from 2006 on. The way I see it, Viktor still has 2 years before you can properly judge him...and since he's European, he won't ever be able to match LD/LCW in their explosive fast-paced game. But perhaps he can be successful with a different style of play....let's just wait and see ;)

thats why i say the generation gap between ms is bigger than ws.
newcomer(born after 1990) never able to beat lcw/ld(correct me if i am wrong)
while
newcomer in ws(born after 1990)already beat all wang/tine/saina

while none of the newcomer(born after 1990)in ms win any ss,there is already winners in ws(born after 1990)

Not really a fair comparison seeing how there is no WS players that's even remotely close to LD/LCW in terms of skill and dominance. A lot of the weaker Top 10 MS players get beaten by younger players occasionally, so the difference isn't as huge. Also, Tine and Saina have lost to nearly any international WS player in the world by now. Tine perhaps because she's starting to get old, and Saina....well, imop, she really is a rather simple player, having no dangerous weapon of her own. Also looks really ungraceful on court, no comparison to LXR who seems so in-control when she is in form...
