    Too many dirty points by Minions. Gideon gifting points 17-20 and also the last point which isnt an unforced error. While Kevin doesnt look focused from the get go.

    too often they are giving initiatives in G1 i feel.

    Still, this is an expected result. Better luck next time.

    2nd half of the 2nd game, CHN pair flick served a lot and INA can't cope.

    I would say some errors that Kevin make is unforgivable, just smashing to the net.

    While imo Gideon is old and going to make that kind of errors, G1 is dirty from Kevin.

    Last week, Seo played two disciplines and reached both semis.

    This week, Kim also plays in 2 disciplines and reached both semis.

    No double duty for the line judges.
    They have dedicated moppers

    Marcus seems easily frustrated if he loses a point every time. The young Chinese pair fears no threat from their smashes, so just happy to lift at the back. What's happened to this incredible who were number one for many years? I think they're finished and no longer be the force they once were.

    true, his body language is not good and he doesnnt need to be like that to be honest. Drop of racket, etc.

    they dont have to be the force they were since they were dominating in the past but they have to be in top 8 in WR. And of course this SF helps.

    Lakshya-Kunlavut match I’ve always waited for this. Let’s see how this turns out.

    Both Sen and LCY have tattoos under their ears. Are they the same writing?

    He never mentioned anything about the drift in the halls, which seems to be an important factor in this tournament

    KV played pretty much played like a big match player. Understandably without a lot of big matches in the recent past, LS just imploded when the crowd started getting behind KV. Nevertheless, good campaign for LS in Thailand

    The drift played an important part.
    In the 1st game KV sent many shots out.
    In the 3rd game, it was Len's turn.

    Oh she definitely does, she has a large fan base in countries far and beyond her home, including here in India. Undoubtedly the GOAT of our times, and its all even more special because she hails from a non-badminton friendly nation and came out of no where (when she first won her WC title and taking down the then favourites).
    He mental prowess is unparalleled, she's in many way Djoker of badminton.
