    WZM way more mobile and agile.

    WZM is not short either. he is actually quite tall. but considerably less bulky than VA.

    WZM seems to play better today than yesterday, a bit more intensity, and attacking better. He does give me the appearance of being too laid-back which can be deceiving, cool and calm like Simon Santoso.

    Chen "Balloon" Qiqiu is sitting at the coach's chair.

    but he is a doubles player!

    i guess the proper coach are in Qing Dao doing close door training.

    Now I know this coach's name is Zeng Qiqiu, thanks to whoever pointed it out to me before.

    WZM's defence is not bad too and he seems to be able to anticipate VA's shots better sometimes

    WZM's netshots today are just perfection.

    VA got as close as 2 points away, but then completely threw away the effort.

    now match point. 20-14

    Will Wang Zengming make his first big break here? We'll know the answer tomorrow.

    WZM very happy with his win.

    Wang Zhengming beats Viktor Axelsen

    21-13 / 21-14

    no match. WZM controls the rally much better than VA who were mostly just scrambling retrieving all the shots despite having better reach with his height.

    Are these two the future hopes of their respective countries, CHN and DEN, WZM and VA, probably?
