Yes, avoid playing too much the front court area, esp the sliced drop shots that usually allow TTY to execute her deceptive returns
"We should be able to win in the first game, we were less fortunate. In the third game I made a lot of mistakes myself. Our power was drained a lot because the shuttlecock was heavy, unlike in Denmark, here it uses more energy," Marcus said. "Opponents played fast and were not easy to made a winner. As an evaluation, we have to be more calm, we can't panic if we are under pressure, we have to be smarter in managing the game," Kevin added. Minions post match interview.
That was missing for nearly the entire year. Regardless of the outcome of this match, it's good to see it back. It's like watching another player.
Panic ? didn't minions fans keep praising how mentally strong they are ? it's french open final anyway, not world championship final.
What AY really needs to work on (and apparently hasn't, because I see no difference from a few years ago) is her laughable backhand. It's easily the worst among all the top players and it becomes even more apparent when you see it in direct comparison with the best one.
Doesn't seem off to me at all. She makes very few unforced errors for in comparison to her weaker games.
I guess there is also the trauma factor from their loss in China Open as well, I think minions need to beat this pair one more time to regain their confidence when facing this pair, I mean they must have felt pretty invincible until today, and after this match today I hope they will realise that they are not undefeatable and need to increase their focus more.
He Bingjiao, Chen Yufei, are you watching this match ? Something to learn from Akane if you want to stand a chance of beating TTY
TTY is not used to having to play so many good shots in a rally just to win a point, and it's getting frustrating for her
