2011 Super Series Finals: Day 5 (Finals Day) - Sun 18 Dec

[Tactim]

first game 21-18 Saina. Wonder if WYH will have a reply to this or if she'll fade away like Chai/Guo in the last match.

li yong bo: the umpire and line judges is doing well,but the service judge is not,please change another who can do the same with umpire and line judges.

Don't read this wrong because I love women, but goddamn womens singles is so passive. One of them will be in a good attacking position, and what happens? They do a clear to the back court! And why don't they do jump-smashes to get better angles on their smashes? Aren't women great at multi-tasking? Surely they can smash and jump at the same time.

No, they can't because of the additional weight in the front.

INterstingly, I noticed that ZN wasnt coaching WYH much between points. Allowing WYH to use her own judgement, mind and find her own confidence?

This match is freaking fantastic. After string of unexpected losses Saina is back at her best. At some pt WYH is too defensive.

The service judge is a caucasian. He can't understand LYB.

[Maklike Tier]

No, they can't because of the additional weight in the front.

[cobalt]

Saina's touch at teh net has been freakish! I'm now certain its another racquet!

[limsy]

i feel pity for wang yi han!

[Tactim]

You know I never used to watch a lot of women's singles but I'm beginning to appreciate the increased importance of the reliance on tactics and shot placement rather than power as seen in the mens doubles. Having deep and penetrating clears to push back your opponent is just so important in the women's games. You can't really win with power, you really have to out maneuver your opponent to win a point. With the men's game you need all of this too, but power plays a much bigger role in smashes and is a real weapon, though sometimes your immense power can make up for your weaknesses in other places.

i think he/she went to rest room or having lunch when lyb speech?
