Lucky thing Chen Long found his footing in G3 or I can imagine Shi Yuqi having butterflies in his stomach while waiting for his turn to play.
He was probably thinking "I would have finished this guy in straight sets!" Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
Exactly, the Danish UC lineup was a brilliant masterstroke, hitting where CHN is weakest, three WS one after after another, the first one falls , the other two will be shaken
I remember a match from 1998 Thomas Cup finals. In it, Indonesia fielded a first singles player who was clearly injured and lost. If that singles player had not played, the second singles would have moved up. By NOT moving up, the second singles was won by Indonesia, which proved to be a crucial tie. Playing an off form player may be a good tactic!
Just when the situation looked alarming and dangerous for Team CHN Uber Cup, fortunately (and somewhat unexpected for me), both Gao Fangjie and Li Xuerui stepped up to the plate, as they say, when the going gets tough , the tough get going. Gao Fangjie was back playing her fluid attacking badminton and Li Xuerui showed flashes of her former prowess.
For the CHN TC Team, I regard Shi Yuqi as the weak link in MS for his mental weakness in team majors. He simply has got to have more faith in himself as he certainly has no lack of talent and has been improving steadily, growing from strength to strength.
