China choose the same lineup minus Jia Yifan which played India, heavy duty fire power! Chen Long has to develop confidence as the No.1 MS player The dependence on Lin Dan could demoralize other MS players, Shi Yuqi didn't get a single game. Korea will be looking at WS, WD and hope XD can spring a surprise. Son Wan Ho was a better pick for MS. I hope this tie goes to 5 games!
None of China's ladies singles players has a chance so might as well send a younger person out to get experience.
I already said to treat CHN WS as a lost cause before the start of the tournament when CHN chooses her lineup, you probably missed my post days ago
Just noticed the net poles are not covered by any soft thick material for protecting a player, unlike in the volleyball for example. Supposed a player inadvertently hits the net pole with full force while chasing a shuttle, it will be painful how can the BWF not consider this possibility, however slim it is?
HBJ MUST reduce her weight and increase her fitness and agility among other things! Otherwise I don't see how can she compete meaningfully at the top levels, she will just be another dead wood in making. Perhaps the CBA need to consult with CVA on how to increase the athlete's fitness, they have been working on the new method under Lang Ping very successfully.
