2016 Victor KOREA Open Superseries : Round of 32 - FINAL (27th September-2nd October)

Another very good straight DTL smash from Qiao Bin.

 

GC is likening Qiao Bin to Han Jian again. Hmmm...not sure if that fits.

 

Marvellous, DTL smash so close to the sideline from Qiao Bin, again.

 

You see, SWH gets a lot back, his defensive ability is first-rate.

 

Qiao Bin really has to go for the lines, play it tighter and do a little bit more to get the shuttle past SWH.

 

Tenacious defence from QB, good job.

 

Yes, Qiao Bin, even x-court smash has to go for the line.

 

Qiao Bin isn't tired, that's why his control and judgement is still intact even when he's somewhat out of position.

 

I've to admit Qiao Bin is making good use of his athleticism and agility.

 

What, service fault for low serve ?

 

Qiao Bin so proactive, often seizing the initiative.

 

Son Wan Ho is super fit, one of the fittest MS in the world, I don't think his three-setter with Lee Hyun Il yesterday could drain him much, it wasn't that hard-fought an affair.

 

These two weeks, Qiao Bin has been very confident and decisive in his attacks.

 

I think SWH might want to keep the shuttle down as much as possible.

 

What a brilliant attacking badminton by Qiao Bin, better than I expected.

 

Qiao Bin mixing up his shots to keep SWH guessing.

 

QB shouldn't have netted the last shot, he wasn't under pressure, the jump-to-smash was OK but he mishit it.

 

Amazing defence by Qiao Bin.

 

In both offense and defense, Qiao Bin has improved a lot these two weeks.

 

And playing at a high pace to give SWH as little time as possible to get to the shuttle.
