Does Viktor only play drop shots and smashes when he gets a lift? The guy does not want to play clears at all.
Danny Bawa CHRISNANTA/Yu Yan Vanessa NEO, the Singapore's most achieving shuttlers in the SSP, played in the quarterfinals against the Oly Gold medalists, on the way crushed the seeded #8: Praveen JORDAN/Debby SUSANTO and KIM Gi Jung/SHIN Seung Chan, both in straight... what a surprise that they could go that far!
Nah, they are of the same level now. Chen Long through all those years of training with LD has learnt how to play his best in majors.
If I were Viktor, I'd put part of the blame on Lin Dan for taking the load off LCW's mind before the start of his match with Datuk.
FYI, as I've posted a few times before, Chen Long and Lin Dan have stopped training together since London 2012, with the approval of Li Yongbo. To be specific, they don't spar with each other at all, except the one or two rare occasions where they played an exhibition/simulation match for publicity's sake.
To me, I'd still put Lin Dan, Chen Long and Lee CW in the same league, with Kento Momota a respectable second to the Super Trio.
A zero to eight head-to-head record may prove an intimidating mark for the Danish young gun... then imagine the possibility that Viktor may never beat Chong Wei till Dato's retirement.
It'll be quite interesting if the JPN pair can pass through the great hurdle of the WR1 MD... they do take the G1.
Having been exposed to incredulous match outcome education by a CHN fan, I would assume Carolina Marin lost because she was tired and Wang Yihan won because she was not tired. I m happy WYH won because her vocals would sound better on screen tomorrow.
Lee Yong Dae / Yoo Yeon Seong you must win this match. If not I will start crying again. So sad to know Ko Sung Hyun / Shin Baek Cheol just lost their MD match today. Looks like doing double duty is too much for them.
