DUBAI World Superseries Finals 2016 - DAY-1 : Group Stage Matches (14th December)

Not unexpectedly the Luo twins could not hold on to their lead in G1, losing 19-21.

 

The Adcocks are on fire. A straightforward opening match victory for the couple, off to a good start.

 

they didnt shake hand each other?

 

Sun Yu looks like a mummy, at that age already...

 

Sun Yu looks half human, half machine.

 

An aunty, you mean. Sort of.

 

With her physical attributes, she can be like Chen Long, a cyborg, if she tries harder.

 

If Sun Yu is just a little bit faster in her movement, she probably would've reached that Marin's x-net shot in time.

 

You see, Sun Yu, when you're early to the shuttle, you've more options.

 

Why not challenge the call, Marin? Nothing to lose.

 

I'm going to jump ahead of myself, Sun Yu either wins in two or loses in three.

 

That's a good one,a soft tap over the net crossed,from Sun Yu.

 

What a miss, can't even put away a loose shot.

 

Marin is too fast for Sun Yu.

 

Sun Yu is a bit slow to lunge for the drop shot and recover herself.

 

Often outsmarted at the net by Marin.

A lucky point for Sun Yu, Marin netted a loose return.

 

Do Marin deserve to be called a 2 times World Champion and THE Olympic Champion ?

 

Way long, wrong challenge, Sun Yu

 

All the more you must slow her down by keeping her guessing with a wide variety of shots and some deception.

 

Sun Yu almost never dives for a smash retrieval.
