Yonex ALL ENGLAND 2021 : R/32-Final (Birmingham, 17-21 March)

Let's see if Antonsen uses the same technique like in the Super Series Finals and prepares for the third game.

 

It looks like the same trick. Hopefully Axelsen is prepared this time.

 

Yep Antonsen knows that Axelsen is fitter.

 

What a shitshow.

 

I agree. Antonsen is doing this on purpose to frustrate Axelsen more than he wants to conserve energy.

He already gave up when it was 2-7, 2-8 in the second game. That is not the same as if you are down by 5-15 and you want to conserve energy.

Pretty cheap and unsportsmanlike!

 

Antonsen should use all his challanges also to prolong G2

 

I guess it's about how obvious you make it. The acting in 2012 wasn't really Oscar quality.

 

AA definitely knows all of Viktor’s hitting zones

What's with all the high serves from viktor. He's missed like 5 of them ready.

 

Antonsen is doing a good job frustrating Axelsen right now.

While Axelsen improved on his physicality during COVID lockdown, his mental game is still lacking. I don’t believe he can win the Olympic with his weak mental game.

 

Antonsen is beginning to look tired

 

Well 12-12 all. Here we go with the nerves.

 

Antonsen was too tired to convert his 11-6 lead into a win

 

Yes, but it was also good fighting spirit from Axelsen and he didn't panic.

 

Antonsen with a challenge after the match ended, nice trolling

 

Just watched the PVS vs Pornpawee match. Did PVS forget to bring her spatial awareness with her when she left for Birmingham? She made like a dozen of line misjudgements.

 

I feel like this has happened to a lot of players this week. Maybe the drift changed or it's missing match practice?

 

So happy to see Misaki Matsutomo in an All England final again, but in a category I never expected!

 

Five years from her last trophy in all england, and now she has tried all discipline a woman can do in badminton, ws, wd, xd, so happy to see her smile after the semi final match
