There are only 2.5 matches (0.5 for this one) that are of any significance and I intend to enjoy them. Sorry if I am inactive.
Ian: "WXL is a very complete player these days; equally comfortable in the front court as the rear court."
Looooong rally, super defence from the Koreans; then YY allowed them to attack, but the Koreans "couldn't execute the finish" in Ian's words
The Koreans seem to be just giving the Chinese too much respect! They keep lobbing the shuttle up and there is noedge to their smashing; it's almost like they are fighting the reputation of their opponents. Their coach is livid. They need to get angry and really intense in game 2: all-or-nothing type of attitude.
A muscular drive/push from WXL sails over the baseline. Shakes her head. "Someone moved that baseline!"
WXL/YY are almost toying with the Korean girls. They just keep the bird in play and wait for the inevitable mistake or gift.
WXL/YY is many levels better than the rest. The only way to beat them is put additional player. 3 against 2.
