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

Ahsan's body language in the 1st set caused him many unforced errors.

 

Chen Yufei got to improve on her accuracy, she gets Mitani out of position and still hits it out, wide or long.

 

CYF wants to pin MM to the back but has to watch out for MM's ability to bring the shuttle down suddenly sometimes.

 

Li Jinhui/Liu Yuchen's growing confidence in playing Ahsan/Setiawan is givng them a psychological advantage which they are translating into a winning edge as they duly beat the INA pair again convincingly in two straight sets.

 

What a pathetic performance by Ahsan.... He can't return a single smash and his attitude on court sucked big time.

 

Oh no, Chen Yufei's inexperience beginning to tell in G2.

 

CYF got to vary her shots and mix it up a little and not stick to her game plan to the letter.

 

Again, CYF gets a loose shot from MM and hits it long in a hurry, lack of experience.

 

Sun Yu and CYF move like robot simply no variation, and excitement in the shot just IMHO.

 

Smashes wide , an unforced error, CYF..

 

CYF wins a lucky pt out of position as MM netted the return.

 

Another simple mistake smashing into the net, CYF...

 

CYF mishandled the crucial points to hand G2, 21-19, to MM for the equalizer.

 

Not smashing hard in succession and then netted it, another inaccuracy,CYF...

 

MM will make her experience count and take G3 and the match, I think.

 

CYF still got to attack decisively, half-hearted attempts are worse, and also vary her shots more, be a little deceptive to keep MM guessing.

 

Sung Ji Hyun is besting Tai TY so far...

 

Qiao Bin playing pretty well thus far to earn a semifinal spot.

 

Chen Yufei's inexperience told, she doesn't quite know how to handle two opponents of contrasting styles consecutively requiring her to make adjustments to her game and mentality. But I believe she has what it takes to beat MM in future as she matures and develops her game further.
