Sung playing too many clears, with her height she should go for more front court play and smashes, imho.
Bad result for Korean team in their home ground. Entering full team, none in the final and only 1 semifinalist. Will they be able to bounce back in time for Thomas/Uber cup ? And Asian Games in their home ground. I think there will be some changes soon. Maybe some coaches would be blamed and forced to resign
Chen Long not quite himself and appeared uninterested yesterday against NTM, what will it be like today ?
not the first time. 2 or 3 times during MD play of LYD yesterday the shuttle wash 10-15cm out and they called it in. What a disgrace for Korean linesmen to be so prejudice towards home players.
I suspect both Chen Long and Lee CW aren't too keen to meet each other in the final here, at least not twice in one month with the MAS PSS coming up next week. Wonder what's going to happen to both or either of them, just saying.
Mitani was also cheated near the end of the second game yesterday. It was caught on TV. This is not to mention the TTY - Yamaguchi game at the Japan Open with the K umpire.
And all this misjudgements made by linejudges throughout the week, umpires did not correct them? or they have no more say after BWF introduced the review system??
Chen Long playing a different kind of game, almost monkeying around as if he's struggling to read Boonsak's deceptive play and allowing him to dictate the rally...hmmm.
I guess the umpire prefers to play safe , let the players challenge and the referee review the system to make the final decisions.
Where's Chen Long's explosiveness, his sharp,forceful game ? Not evident yesterday, the same so far today. He is trying to play like his opponent, yesterday and today.
I think so too as i realise umpires don't pay much attention to where the shuttle lands like before when they would look at the shuttle before looking at linejudges. They can actually save alot of time if they see a misjudgement and correct it instead of letting the players to challenge all the time. So much for disallowing players to waste time on court like walking around during points.. now players can just walk and rest and do whatever they want for a longer period of time when any of the challenges the call
