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.
zhang nan went to celebration with zhao yun lei,wont bother wyh much ops u mean zhang ning she not pro-wang yi han as far as i know
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.
Beautiful sliced drop by WYH and she goes up 7-5 Saina played a patient point to get the body smash to pull one back, 6-7
I think its just a matter of time before I buy a NR700RP. That thing is the business. Heck, I'll probably just get one just to stare at the paint.
The shuttle used in this tournament is so good. It just stay on top of the net and trickle over. Is it Li Ning? Maybe I should switch to this type.
