Saina did lot of mistakes during the last stages despite coming back from 8-15 down and levelling it. Sun Yu is crying after winning it.. Lol.. You can kill even a dead deer..
Yeah, the umpire was soft on Sun Yu. But when she was 'resting' at the side after removing her knee bandage, Saina should have just taken advantage of it to catch some breaths and regather her thoughts, stay focused for the closing points. Anyway, in the end, it is skills and not gamesmanship that won the day.
I noticed Saina tends to smash too hard at the beginning of a rally and when her opponent is able to return her smashes one after another, she tires and mistakes more often than not follows. I thought she should learn to pace herself better.
Stupid umpire does not even care what saina says... She simply mummering 'ok' 'ok' 'ok' etc.. Really pathetic. And the way line calls went against saina (clearly 'in' shuttles were called out.. Replay clearly showed the linesman's show)..... well, what one can say..
Both CHN and INA WD play too casual. More a la JPN WD lift lift lift and lift. CHN put some variations and a bit aggressive to make different. Boring.
Maybe the remaining Indian WS can take revenge for SN by beating the Chinese #3?
