Chen Yufei lifting too much, probably afraid of TTY's deception at the front court area. Well, got to learn how to read her opponent's game as much as possible, just like what Intanon Ratchanok could do of TTY's game.
Saina has been working really hard to beat Tai. She has mentioned in an interview. Her target is Tai. She is really working on that it seems. Her scores show it. Her coach yesterday talking about moving Tai all around the court and not to give opportunities for Tai to counter attack.
Hmm, I can use this material for learning more Mandarin Xia repeated about getting a nice technique for a high serve. Zhang said Chen can stand back a bit more on defence. The rest I couldn't understand.
4 pts lead at 17-13, 18-15 and 19-16, still couldn't close it out, that shows CYF has to improve on her shot variation.
May be because of short stature of Saina. Saina could not handle wide cross court smashes !. i don't know. Chen Yufei is taller than Saina. Hence, she could retrieve even better.
Different players have different strengths and weaknesses.. It's logical Saina would need to have a different game plan.
She retrieves everything and returns back witth quality under extreme pressure . She won't run like NO or AY.
It's interesting to see how well we are discussing the strategies to counter Tai. She is number 1 player to beat for any player
