Totally agree with you! It was a downright disappointing performance from CWF. Yes, Chen Long is a very tough opponent. However, for someone who can beat higher ranked players like Vittinghus, Sho Sasaki in straight games, surely he can play better than this!? He appeared more like Chen Long's sparring partner than a semi finalist at a SSP. CWF started the game well, but he seems to lose the mental strength when he failed to break through Chen Long's play. From then on, everything went downhill and it became a one-sided China affair. Hopefully CWF can learn from this experience and build up his mental strength/skills if he wants to be a world-class player.
What do you guys think of the jump smash of the german lady? How come we never see it apart from shenk? Surely gorls can jumps as well as men?
Yip does it a little, that is true. And also cheng, but they are the exceptions and do it only occasionaly
Intanon's attack is good but her follow-up is wanting. She mustn't let up and keep piling on the pressure. Schenk's speed and retrieval ability is amazing.
