Japan shd be smart to follow China style when lindan was playing. Give the match away. Its stupid for japan to kill each other and get tired for finals. Only 1 person will win. Who gets a better chance?
CTC stamina is worse. Like an old man. Momota just have to hit to 4 corners and ctc will die and beg for mercy. ctc is only a smasher, nothing else. If momota doesn't gives him high shots, ctc got no chance. Heo is a faster player, More dangerous. Momota can also play plan B, which is speed game to kill off ctc old man moves. lol Either momota moves him or just use the speed to kill of ctc quickly. Skill wise momota is much much better also. Speed is number one in badminton. See minion kelvins speed? Shesar got the speed in game 1, that is why he is close. See the net and the pounce from shesar in g1? G2, he don't have the luxury to net or pounce as much as g1. Am a technical person. Do you play badminton well?
does anyone know what Goh Liu Ying talk to Chang Peng Soon at interval in the second game ??? They seem to be arguing
Well, they didn't get to start an argument. The coach stopped them. But CPS is blaming GLY for not taking initiative at the net.
Definitely Heo is more dangerous. On top of that he is fresh for not playing much in this tournament and playing less match in general from the overall competitions we have had so far. But I don't think CTC's fatigue is worse than Momota's fatigue. I am talking about fatigue not stamina. Fatigue affects your stamina on a given day. Momota's accumulated fatigue is more than CTC's - even though Momota has better stamina in general, speed and racket skills - it will not be as easy as you are saying because CTC is carrying less accumulated fatigue. That said I would still prefere CTC than Heo for sure. But I am not sure Momota will get past Tsuneyama. If you are a technical person as you say then you should be able to make a difference between fatigue and stamina.
nice story Hope he can get more win in the future, after he start beating multiple top 10 players consistently of course
Minions vs FajarRian, whats the H2H? May the best wins the title. It could be AaronSoh Maiden SS title or KoShin 3rd SS as a pair. HerryIP will be shaking his leg drinking coffee, knowing the worst will still be 10% cut (3000$) that he will get.
Cannot understand, why the second XD match is scheduled that late? It is very unfair for the winner team.
Yeah, I've felt the tension in the air when I saw GLY getting a bit disgruntled. Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk
I actually think CPS is the more "angry" one ... LOL, the first point for the partnership after the interval of the 2nd game, he did everything... Smashing from the back of the court, covering around and then made the kill at the net, all while GLY is just standing at her side of the court. I feel like he is saying "you took initiative at net? My foot!" But that is the feeling I'm getting... we won't know the truth. Anyway, I feel GLY is too passive and not doing much in recent matches... it's almost CPS doing everything. I know she had suffered a lot of pain ... but I don't see her making it further. CPS on the other hand, can make it a little further with a better partner. He has quite good coverage and his reflects surprised me in today's match.
The H2H between Fajar Alfian/Mohammad Rian Ardianto vs Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon is 3-5; but Fajar/Rian won the last 2 matches. I hope they can secure their maiden World Tour 750 title (having only won the 1 World Tour 500 title so far). They may stand a better chance against Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik, who are likely to beat the 2014 Korean World Champions Ko Sung Hyun/Shin Baek Cheol (wow has it been that long ago? Ko is 34 while Shin is 32 this year). If any of the INA pairs can win a title this week or next week, it will boost their confidence for the upcoming home tourneys in Bali (more or less confirmed).
