    Very clever rally by Lee Chong Wei. Viktor cannot keep up with the change of pace and taking some extra steps.

    If you notice, Viktor tends to go for smashes quite early in the rally and tires himself out. the rally goes on for a few more shots and after that he tries a risky shot which he loses.

    Socre is 8-7 to LCW but the psychology is definitely in favour of LCW.

    Very visible how to beat VA in the future. He's exhausted already. Make him work, make him go low again and again and his face is looking like a tomato. LCW might not be able to, today. However, Momota is exactly the guy for that.

    Two bad misses by Chong Wei - serve and smash.

    If this goes to 3 games, I fancy LCW to nip it.

    Yes, we all know that so you don't have to constantly say it in every reply.

    Plus, it gets old. ;)

    VA is smashing a bit more intelligently now, steeper, less power.

    Good run of points by VA - Lee CW let him back in.

    Lee CW strangely tries to play it fast rather than pulling VA around the court like before.

    Not at all...it's clear that the 10+ year age difference is playing a role.

    And don't you forget it now...

    Crunch time, LCW has to start closing the gap and spurts to the finishing line or else...

    It would be interesting to get some stats on this game but I do think the longer rallies favour LCW
