BWF WORLD Superseries Finals 2014 : Day 1 (17th December 2014) - Group Stage

CL now led 12-11 as he pounced for a net kill.

 

CL's attacking play is paying dividends 13-11.

 

Tago is struggling to keep up with CL and trails 11-16.

 

Get well soon Nitya

Two thumbs up for the fight

 

Tago has no answer to CL's cross-court smashes.

 

Obviously, GC hasn't been reading badmintoncentral of late.

 

Suddenly Chen Long playing like a cool but steady and pressing cucumber in the latter half for an emphatic victory in G1, 21-11.

 

I hope she will get a speedy recovery too.

It is just unfortunate as INA could have won in two games and this would not have happened.

 

Chen Long scrapes his little finger, again, though not the pinky this time?

 

CL way more steady than kt.

 

I like to see Chen Long playing with more intensity and urgency, all the time, if possible, as that often brings out the best in him.

 

Can tago threaten cl in the second set?

 

Surprisingly Tago is leading 3-0 now as CL made uncharacteristic errors.

 

Chen Long's grazed finger seems to bother him a little ?

 

As Tago is visibly slower, he must make his shots count. 1-4 Tago.

 

Chen Long's uncharacteristic errors continue...

 

With an easy G1, CL is beginning to lose his guard and is not playing as well.

 

I just had bad feeling when they couldnt finish in 2, and when Nitya injured well it just nightmare, but with 2 Chn pairs left to handle even with 100% fit they probably have difficulties, now with this injury it just lucky if they even can continue to play..

 

A beautiful side-line smash was ably saved by CL but Tago continued to attack for a point 7-2.

 

Even a hairpin net shot by Tago was well-timed by CL for a net kill, now CL narrowed to 6-7.
