He binjiao can win many tournaments if she can minimize unforced errors which she make more than scoring points.Han Yue is improving incrementally but still got to work on her accuracy and consistency, and learn to serve low better if she wants to avoid serving high to tall attacking players.
But I do admire her hard-working and never-say-die attitude. Keep going and she might just make a breakthrough one day soon. The way she pushed Sindhu all the way, down to the wire is heartening to see. JiaYou !
That's exactly He Bingjiao's stumbling block. In fact, her occasional inconsistency and proneness to error once too often is costly, hindering her from reaching the pinnacle.He binjiao can win many tournaments if she can minimize unforced errors which she make more than scoring points.

I beg to disagree with that former player of yours , I think he is confused between forced and unforced errors - the former is when your opponent played so well or when you're off-form that you are forced into those errors, the latter is when you're under no pressure and, under normal circumstances, should not make those simple errors unless you're an amateur or casual player or just a badminton enthusiast indulging in a spare-time sport; in that case, train harder, for practice makes perfect, the same goes for professionals. In other words, being outplayed and gifting points are not the same thing, in my opinion.Did a 2-day training camp a few years ago with a former top French player. He asked me to play a match against a younger player and I lost really badly. This former player then asked me to analyze my own match and I concluded I did too many unforced errors. His answer: "the national coach once told me there are no unforced errors. If you lose points because of those, it is because somehow your opponent played in a way that forced you doing those".

Is it true that ShiYuqi would be in the world championship but chen long isn’t? Thats weird it it’s true
@Justin L @lurker @viver He knows exactly the difference, he reached top 150. And his coach was part of the national team. What he meant was that whatever unforced errors one player can make on a given day, the opponent is somehow responsible for it. In my case, I missed many smashes during this match (net, out) and my clears were off (out). That former top player tried to explain to me that the other player probably saw that I was off at the back of the court at the beginning of the match and exploited that by feeding me more shuttles at the back of the court to frustate me. And after a few points, when I was showing frustration when missing simple shots I usually get right, he suggested that my opponent actually exploited this mental weakness of mine, somehow, by delaying the game, with his atittude on court (I remember he was clearly showing his fist up with a small but clear shouting on all my silly errors which annoyed me even more)
I do not think that this former player meant players can never really do unforced errors as we all have complete off-days but he meant that when it is repetitive, may be it is because the opponent saw through our weakness of the day and is exploiting it, somehow, and we could not adapt or vary the game to change the tide. That's what I took from this lesson anyway.
That being said HBJ is probably very inconsistent and it is a whole different level but may be her opponents know it and know what kind of tactics can trigger her inconsistency and unforced errors.
Me thinks is psychology playing a part here rather...helps you train your mental on the court to think differently
also you are translating here to English from French (I assume) there may hv some little nuances lost
just a guess
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the explanation.
I can see some truth in this, there are many examples from the past coming from the Chinese team. Ye Zhaoying (sorry, I live in the past) a retired Chinese female singles player whom I considered the best player in her time, better (technically) than the famous Susan Susanti and Camilla Martin. But during the matches she had difficulty keeping the shots within the court area.
If we take out the mental part - which is required in my opinion, the execution of all the shots, how would you call when a player in a comfortable position, i.e. after forcing the opponent for a high lift to the mid-court and then the attacking player wait in position and smash into the net or out of the court? Would you consider this a unforced error on the attacker or the error was induced by the defender?
The mental aspect of the game is a very interesting one. A coach intimately related to the China National team did say that China has many players with top-notch skills but unable to produce in official matches. This was specially true with the doubles players, there were many that did excellent in training situations or internal matches, but not that well in international competitions. The coach acknowledged that the mental hurdle might be a very difficult one for these players to get over.
From DECLINED to YES, quite sparks big question for Shi YQ case according to this BWF regulation (clause 3.2.20) :

Susy Susanti
The mental aspect definitely plays vital role in critical points.
