To me, a great match shouldn't be a war of attrition but one of outstanding skills of the highest order of magnitude from both sides a la many of Lin Dan - LCW's classic battles.

Japanese coach is so animated that he could not sit in the chair whenever shuttle coming downwards towards japanese side. Lol
Many records are broken.. but are we looking at the momentous record, some that hasnt happened for 39 years are we thinking the same.. the unthinkable..

Morten also got bored. Whats the point playing lobbing and dropping till cramps. Really bwf have to fix this wd. Killing the popularity of badminton and time wasting.
Not sure what he meant by this .. Does it imply clean or dirty tactics? Because both CHN WD call medicals near the end of their matches yesterday..
I didn't watch this whole set, but did Du & Li use their challenges smartly for this set? The umpire is entirely correct to tell them that they have used up their challenges. And if Du & Li didn't use their challenges smartly during this set, it's their fault. I see a lot of players that use up the challenges on calls that obviously will go against them. Not sure if this applies to Du & Li this set but you need to use your challenges smartly and not waste them on line calls that you know will obviously go against you.
Yeah. No rubber. Lucky. Send a message to bwf president to fix this. Maybe give wd faster shuttles to help in their smashing and get on with it.
If Morten said it, it must be right because he is a very good and unbiased commentator according to some
I'm shocked to hear it from him, does he think the Chinese should've kept playing even when get cramped and hit in the nose like yesterday?
FukuHiro played a bit too conservative but the tactics were right and got the job done. Let's hope third time will be the charm!
