New Zealand Open 2013 - getting attention from the big boys

Anand won it in straight games.. 21-15, 21-19

 

Nope.. He is a 3rd tier player in india..

 

Any updates for Wisnu's scores? Thanks.

 

18-10 to wisnu in the rubber

 

Wisnu leads in decider, 18-11 now...

 

Wisnu won it. 21-18,21-23,21-16

 

Wisnu wins over Chan KB, 18-21 / 23-21 / 21-16.

 

A contrast result for Tian HW, won AUS GP Gold and got first round casualty here...

 

Good result! He will face either Qiao Bin or Xue Song for a place in
the last 8.

 

May be the opponents whom he played in the Australian open not got used to the left hand style(more of sho sasaki) much. BUt anyhow, it seems that LCW was clearly off on that semifinal match..

 

Sorry.. whom you are talking???

 

What I feared might happen to THW came about, I've said he got to look out for Pawar in R1 then Gurusaidutt, then ..., well, he didn't listen and is still in cloud nine.

Even Li YB has said regarding the Sudirman Cup that IND MS are not to be underestimated.

 

Well, it could be a chance for another China youngster to shine here.

 

Yeah, you beat me to it, I was about to say it.

 

Simon santoso is struggling hard to get the first game against unknown chinese taipei player. He seems to be good. 21-17 to simon in the first game.

 

I last seen Anand Pawar played In Singapore Open 2012. In my opinion, I don't think Anand is as good as Ajay or Kashyap. When I saw THW played (on tv) last week, I did not think that THW can lose to Anand. It shows THW inconsistency, because in terms of skill and youth, I felt THW is better than Anand. Well, I don't think China coaches like "unstable" players given that THW was in great form just 3 days ago (in winning Australia Open 2013).

 

Any live streaming available?.. TS shows as if there is a TV court in the arena.. Anybody??

 

Another reason discovered for the loss???. Anand had played excellently well today. Score proves it. Anand have broken his defense for more than 20 times with his powerful smashes (courtesy: some of the members here who watched the match mentioned it before in this thread). If you see one performance and judge him simply by that without taking all other performances of him is totally out of focus. THW's style of play might not be suitable for some of the players and may be tackled by some of the players as well.. Its fact.

 

Is Anand under coach Gopi?
I like Gopi coaching because it seems after he became India coach, quite a number of good India players are emerging.

 

Consistency is what separates the good from the great player. Tian Houwei at 20 yrs and about 5 months old, born 1st Nov '92 (not Jan), is still relatively young. Even Chen Long didn't get to be more consistent until a couple years later. Anyway, THW is just one among several CHN MS youth, we shall see who's next to become an overnight sensation.
