WYH almost never uses her backhand to take a flat push to her left hand side, and that's is often a problem for her. LYB, Chen Jin, when are you people going to address the CHN WS slump?
Maybe there's a fine involved? Idk. Disappointed with the result though, since that means there's 2 utterly boring players left that I really don't want to spend my time watching, then 1 incredibly annoying one that I can't stand watching, and then the Indonesian - who I dont know Bad draw, too, since CM vs Fanetri could've yielded an interesting match if watched on mute. This way it's probably gonna be one steam-roll SF. So, no more WS watching for me. Completely and utterly irrelevant now as far as I'm concerned.
no chinese representative in WS semis...when was the last time that happened? To my little knowledge never since the chinese participated in international badminton
What a spoilsport / wet blanket of an umpire...... Epic WS though. And to see Sainal and Wang embrace after the game... wow... faith in sport and humanity restored!
don't watch it at all then. .there are other plenty of badminton enthusiasts alive on this earth who will watch it all
i did saw it and already mentioned in my post above that great sportsmanship from wang. .we do not see that more often in the sport of badminton but in tennis.
13 out of 20 have been correct. 65%... modest To be honest the Ko/Kim prediction was pretty unrealistic (unfortunatly for a Korea fan ), but happy for Lee/Yoo on the other hand. Tai's loss was really unnecessary as she controlled everything until this 20:14 in favor of her. Marin shows her supreme fitness once more and obviously she isn´t troubled or affected by any injury at least while playing. I would have bet on her if I hadn't seen the picture of her being down and treated by the doctor and reading something about her ankle.... I was a little disappointed by Boe/Mogensen who really hit a bad day while the Chinese pair did very well with their unconventinoal style. The other pick of the second ina pair was also wrong, I thought with home support they would make and a all ina final possible. I'm looking forward to a great SFs day. All matches have my attention. Ina vs. Ind ws and the all-chn mx the least but still interesting
For me, LXR's fiasco is the biggest disappointment next to Lin Dan's shock defeat. I simply fail to understand why LXR is so self-crippling nervous when it's her opponents who should fear her instead. IMHO, she is still arguably the best player technically speaking but her mental weakness (the self-induced psychological impediment) is stymieing her from the many great achievements that should have been hers.
