CJ serve into net. 11-9. not a lot of excitement in this match. mostly LD exhibition with reasonably aggressive smashes. CJ defensive style naturally feeds LD and he is just happy smashing away.
LD is just pleasing the crowd. not sure if that is working. very courteous spectator who claps on every rally.
my guess is that he knows that he has great room for improvement, and that today's win was, to be brutally honest, just a lucky pull through.
Actually, it's the rest of the world killing badminton... They are not determined to be good enough to end the monopoly.... As TH said after practicing in the 4-heaven-kings' performance match for TXH's badminton school, he realized that how good weight of attention badminton is now given in China, the rest of the world must put in more effort to catch up.Prosperity of a sports is not to limit the good one to progress, but need those fall behind to effort in catching up!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we're in for a pleasant surprise,this two are not keeping their side of the bargain,they're playing each other out!
I don't think it's only luck, but their change of strategy in the middle of G2...ZN must not be happy, they made a lot of unforced error, plus he should realize this is their biggest energy in the years to go, and maybe, he's regretting that why they did not play like today in their previous meets with this DAN pair. : D
