I think he was telling her to be ready to defend center smash as TTY was smashing more on the center and winning. Immediately after that, TTY go for down the line smashes, one on the left for 20:19 and one on the right for 21:19.
That's why I said Chen Yufei shouldn't follow instructions to the letter but trust her own instinct, use her own initiative and make adjustments according to the situation. OTOH, I can fully understand what XXZ and ZN are trying to do for CYF, imparting their knowledge and analyses to her, even spoonfeeding her, all out of their utmost desire and anxiety to her help grow and develop quickly as a player in order to realize her maximum potential. CHN WS has been struggling for too long to produce a top 3 WS player.
Didn't he know that TTY understood Chinese too? Could have just been coincidences for the timing for it to happened.
Every time when TTY senses her opponent is making things difficult for her, she changes her strategy or game plan constantly adjusting her game with great tactical awareness and anticipation. She's a highly intelligent player and in crucial moments or tight situations , she immediately puts on her thinking cap and adopts a different setup to deal with that particular opponent based on her understanding of her opponent's strengths and weaknesses or condition. In today's match with TTY, I daresay Chen Yufei lost more on experience than anything. The two combatants were changing leads, CYF had her chances on both sets but failed to capitalize on it as TTY switched strategy or tactics to gain the initiative and control the rallies. Ever since TTY worked on improving her fitness considerably and cut down on her propensity for unforced errors about two years ago or thereabout, she had raised her game another level or two, a phenomenal achievement that others should emulate. First and foremost, I had in mind He Bingjiao.
at this rate, WS will be the most boring discipline. After being dominated by one nation for almost fifteen years. Now, it is dominated by one individual. I feel TTY just toying around in this tournament. Giving false hope that she would be beaten then BANG, she showed that she could win it easily anytime she wanted.
actually i kinda agree with this assessment ... oh wait .... not boring .... it will still be fun in the coming years ....
That was what happened today, not in their previous encounters, where Chen Long was on top of his game. Well, this heralds only the beginning of Momota's comeback to top level badminton. Let's see if he can go on to play better than he ever did before, otherwise we should only see him hovering among the top 3, changing places with the other two now and then.
if this goes to 3 sets .... i bet TakaMatsu gonna win ... FukuHiro looks to be gasping for air already
i meant shorter skirts ... and less underpants pls ... sorry if you don't get my drift ... or maybe you didn't see that 360 degree roll from Yuki ...
How's that "destroyed" by any angle. They train together, they know each others game to the t, they are both world class pairs (top2 atm imo) they both took one game a piece with exact same scoreline Hold on
I did and I didn't Though I do wonder what the point of wearing skirts if they wear shorts under.. Just let them wear shorts.
