It seems that at the moment Kodais defense is just the best in current MS, Nishimoto is constantly hitting extremely close to the lines, but almost everything is coming back and even before the service line - so with very big interest - and it is very difficult to do something else
Naraoka definately is too good for both Tsuneyama and Nishimoto to handle. I would like to see Naraoka play Momota instead
I noticed some change strategy by indian pairs after the G2 interval: - Shetty stepped up to challenge wang and also to disturb CHN pairs with his movement in front of net - They tried return shots to a bit to left or right side of wang , this quite effective to reduce the aggressiveness of wang. G3 will be depend on who will be most dominating the net/front court play.
The case of Rankireddy is just like Aaron Chia. The smash just cant make it , cant keep doing it and the front pair smash looks to have more bite.
The indians can't be too passive imo, they're usually good at playing the "no lob" style. they're lifting way too easily at the moment
This is one of the best performance I've seen from a front court player, just total dominance from wang chang.
The situation is going awry right now for Indian pair. They can't keep up with wang's speed in a flat drive play, when they tried to lift the shuttle then their defences were not good against Liang's cannon shoots.
Liang and wang almost choked a 7 match point… almost a glimpse of what happened in asian games 2023 vs choi/kim korea md… should have been wrapped way more earlier
This was a thriller final and Congrats to the Chinese MD with last lucky error and well fought SatChi absolutely giant comeback and better luck next time ! See ya guys next week at my Hometown Tournament !
