You still don't get it. I was only interested in how Sun Yu has played so far this year, particularly the way I've seen her beat Sindhu twice two months or so ago, compared with the amateurish manner she lost to Intanon just now, it's simply unrecognizable to me. Sun Yu's H2H with Sindhu isn't what I'm interested in talking about. Enough said.
Basically Sun yu wasnt allowed to play her game by a very skillful and deceptive player. She hasnt met a player who gave her very little time to play her shots.
No need to cross digital swords right now. We will see another Sun Yu / Saina Nehwal showdown in less than a week.
Swords in the game of badminton!!. Good lord. I am reminded of Samuel Johnsons quote " patriotism is the last refuge ...... "
An exciting, thrilling, high quality match so far. LXR had better take it in 2 sets, a 3-setter will test and strain her stamina.
Saina should take heart from the fact that she's posed a much tougher challenge than their previous encounter. I forsee the 2nd set to be a 1-sided affair but I so hope to be proved wrong.
Overall , an excellent match, badminton of the highest order, fast and furious, scintillating attacking game from both contestants.
