Ever since Chen Long started wearing Yonex, the intimidation factor is no longer there. Pajama Li-Ning Chen Long was unstoppable.
Yup, can't argue against that. Except that the current Momota isn't Momota at his best. Let's see how they fare against each other in future meetings, provided Chen Long chooses not to retire yet.
The one who seems to have always suffered and faltered mentally finally getting over perhaps the ultimate block. Hope it helps him in the future! Great tournament overall from Viktor. Great to see Chen Long being his usual self and giving us a consistent game we're so used to. Yes it's not his old self but the tournament was very machine like from him. Couldn't just outperform his older specs but I'm sure nobody's dissapointed. I guess I hope he gets more of the respect that he really deserves despite the lack in flamboyance like other players. (bleh, apologies for the rather pleonastic post )
And ASG will get gold next As CL got bronze (2012), gold (2016) and silver (2021), while VA has bronze (2016), gold (2020), and ASG has bronze (2020)
Funny how the size diffrence between these three perfectly resembles their medal results, they wouldn't even need the podium
Chen Long did his best at age 32. Too bad, beyond 30 all performance drop. I was wondering will the top form Wang/Lee from taiwan now beat top form Cai/Fu??
