Taufik lost 19-21, 19-21. It was very close and he broke 3 strings during the whole match. Could it have been a different scoreline? Congrats to Jan O. He's improved a lot.
Does Taufik win any title in the European country before? I heard from somewhere that he never won any title in European country before. Maybe Taufik really has no luck in European country?
Hard luck, Taufik... He failed to nail the best chance to win his first elusive SS title without the big guns here... He may retired with OG and AG golds but without a SS title... Hope I am wrong...
WYH play also seems more straight forward as compared to last year when I thought she adds alot of unexpected shots previously
Stadium seems very quiet. Occasional clapping . . . Guess the crowd dont know who to support.. . . I think this match will go down to the wire (3 sets)
3-7 to WYH. If LX cuts down on her errors, she should be able to force a rubber set because WYH shots quite predictable, while LX more aggressive and variations
