2017 Yonex All England Open SSP - OFFICIAL THREAD

Akane out of danger now in G3, 16-11

 

bwf owns the broadcast rights, not the sponsors, so it's up to the referee, with some consideration from the tournament director.

variety of events, rankings, time of previous days match, home country player...

 

There are always Indian players on the TV court (Sindhu was chosen instead of Marin even though Marin had a top 10 opponent). I think it's because they generate more TV viewers.

 

sigh, still no livestreams for the other non-TV courts

 

Tai Tzu Ying struggling against Mitani Minatsu.

 

Hey, Chen Long, wake up. Just a 4 - 5 months break after Rio'16, and you're still not back to your best ?!

 

it could be a broadcast rights issue. while bwf's 'world feed' [badmintonworld.tv] is on the tournament organizer can only broadcast domestically.

the allenglandbadminton youtube channel might start streaming internationally again after the 'world feed' is finished.

 

Chen Long seems to have temporarily forgotten how to play Tanongsak despite having an 11-0 H2H advantage

 

Hope so, thanks.

 

Chen Long not dictating the rallies, but playing a controlled yet tentative game with mistakes now and then. Tanongsak playing his usual sudden attacking game with injection of pace every now and then.

 

What an abrupt cracking backhand smash from Chen Long with his back turned.

 

The Chen Long of Rio'16 where he is in full command and control is just not there, not yet.

 

It's a PITA watching this Chen Long play, he's going out and denying us a LCW - CL semifinal. Heck.

 

Chen Long in a big trouble if this keeps up.

 

ClL with four straight points, leading now 17-16.

 

Tanongsak looks tired, can barely move at the end of some rallies.

 

In the end, will Tanongsak's stamina beat himself?

 

this year all england streaming is really sucks

 

One critical point for TS.

 

The TV Court ended in an absolute HIGH with the Adcocks against Xu/Du-- even though it was clear that the Adcocks had the advantage, the Chinese put up a marvellous fight while the Adcocks kept up the aggression/pace... thoroughly entertaining, would watch again!
