some photos from day 5 of aviva open 2005. enjoy! only thing is organiser block out entire loer section on the other side thus seems like nbo one watching...actually we are all forced to go the other side or sit higher up. luckily i went earlier and managed a good seat.
The interesting part in this photo is his left hand, normally players raise their left/right hand (which is not holding the racquet) for balance they smashing... thus, this players looks like he is "raising/flying vertically" instead of jumping from the ground... like someone with some special ability..
he was actually at the extreme left when the shot came and he just seems to be able to take one side step to the right and jump up to the right for the smash....stylo milo
Laziness is NOT something we need in badminton. Upload MORE PICTURES please!!!! With a cherry on top?
just came back from aviva open. lin dan lost to taufik. he was playing a great game and leading by 7 or 8 points. then he got playful and started losing points. tried very hard to catch up but luck wsa on taufik side. quite a few of his smashes that taufik returned just happened to hit the white tape and roll over..how to save? second game saw him serious but after winning a game and w a strong crowd behind him, he was on form and perform many beautiful drops that was beyond lin dan's reach. lin dan lost 2 straight games. though i support neither of them strongly, i was sitting feeling that i am wasting my time cos i expected a much more exciting match. it was nothing compared to the game between taufik and gade. as for the pictures upload...later after i bath
