1st match is similar to Hollywood C-grade movies... no need to watch...[TABLE="class: ruler"] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Jin Chen [4][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Long Chen [3] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
not sure if it is because CJ is in the mix. but the pace of the game is like ping pong ball dropping through honey.
CL's net shot is excellent. one of the best in the business. simple and effective, no fancy movement or excess tumbling.
i wonder why does WBF schedule two consecutive major tournaments so close? just a matter of 2-3 days interval how can a player recover for the next one if he/she still plays till the last day of the current one?
proximity. players who travel from europe or other far away continent can get two tournaments done in Asia (or vice versa) in one go. saves air ticket money as well as hotel cost. most tournaments over the yearly calendar are arranged that way.
Final matches are accompanied with interval music that gets the crowd going with their Li-Ning branded thundersticks.
should be decided by whoever wins the 1st game wins the match...should not waste the energy, next tourney is awaiting in front of door
being tall is not always an advantage. a higher center of gravity actually slows down the movement. esp for short dashes like in a badminton court, more important to be able to start the dash instead of continuing it.
