Daihatsu Yonex JAPAN Open 2018 : Round of 32-FINAL (11-16 September)

Soon KM will start to lift less , then VA will have to anticipate the net play

 

axelsen seems frustated

 

VA is not confident of his attacking shots, he's not going to win it

 

Even with a few points lead, VA tries to do a wild shot here and there.

 

Dejavu Final match Indonesia Open?

 

Yes, smash and follow up quickly

 

oh then i guess you said it earlier than me ... anyway at that time there was someone who rebuked me saying yuta actually has power smash which if i remember correctly i chose to let go, like yeah whatever lol

 

Wild shots means VA is unsure of himself what to do

 

man i thought denmark camp claimed they found a solution to momota problem through slow hall or something... how come still lose again?

 

Gone case already VA. Better hope you can do better in G1.

 

I think VA is mentally defeated already

 

VA losing his touch

 

Axelsen could beat LD many times before, why can't he beat Momota who plays similar style?

LD played better than Axelsen against Momota

 

The "DEN plan" to counter Momota needs:
- A lot of time
- Carefully put KM on the backline
- Play slowly and watch the front area
- Use placement than power

It was going fine for VA at 17-13, then he tried to push and force the shuttle down, which leads to countless errors.
Going G2, VA was sick of playing slow and tries to put pace, which ends in a failure for him.

 

VA tired? i thought denmark camp said they fixed that already no?

 

KM cements his psychological advantage over VA, becoming his nemesis

 

JPN Open title is already KM's.
Who could beat him beside (full engine) LCW?

Khosit or Lee Dong Keun?!

 

Ginting could have fought better than Axelsen.. oh well

 

VA is more stressed out than tired
