    Can Ginting close down G1 with 7 point advantage at the interval?

    It's as if we're watching two Momotas playing, the JPN vs the INA versions

    21-12 for Anthony Ginting, the Indonesian completely outmaneuvers Kento Momota as the Japanese doesn't familiar with Ginting style of play.

    Yup, both players have similar style, perfect net-shots, agile, good court coverage.

    Ginting is reading Momota's game well

    Momota is often late to anticipate Ginting shots.

    If ANthony did not win the match in 2. Then it will be difficult for him in 3rd game.

    Yep. Currently, Momota's favourite tactic is to wear his opponents down, and win on stamina. He will try to pick up speed in this half of the game.

    It's a very close game between Momota and Ginting in G2.

    Momota reasserting himself to force the decider - from now on it's back to the real Momota vs the real Ginting

    Momota takes game 2, 21-17. He exploits good shots when it matters most, end of second game while Ginting produces errors and forcing himself to smash all the way that draining so much energy.

    Ginting was losing patience and cool at the end of G2. Should have slowed down a bit rather than attacking wildly.
