CHN WS have two up-and-comers waiting in the wings , namely Sun Yu and He Bingjiao - CHN MS have nobody ?
WSX could not tweak her game because her opponent was out of syllabus. WSX won her titles because her teammates gave them to her. Why do you continue to wear sunglasses in the dark is beyond comprehension.
CHN MS has very good juniors. Shi Yuqi and Lin Gui pu are essentially both reaching all the junior finals. The problem for them is that they are 18 years or so. Chen Long is 25. Lin Dan 31. After two years when Lin Dan retires, CHN will only have CL for some time before the juniors (at that time at 20) can come in. The batch between juniors and CL is unreliable. It consists of Song Xue, Tian Houwei etc. Not the kind of world beaters and champions like CL or LD.
Well Chong Wei F managed to down old guard Sasaki in a very close G1 26-24. Can he do likewise in G2?
