Ratchanok should ask Marin how to keep her fitness level, in exchange, maybe let Marin beat her once in a lifetime.
The way RI pulls off these cross court winners when she is in this tired condition reminds me of Sun Jun WC final 1997.
It won't be that bad for her if not for the difference in the draw between the two players. And against Marin, she had an energy-sapping longdrawn battle. Partly true, you're right that IR's fitness is a problem as well. We can agree to disagree.
Another reason could be Ratchanok ankle injury. Sorry to say this match just couldn't make me have any interest to watch it. It is clearly a one sided match. A very tired player playing tough matches before finals and drain out of energy at the finals. Nothing to say.
3 easy matches and one tough semi, that is as easy as it is going to get at the top level of badminton, even if saina had had a harder draw it would not change IR's state.
Sun Jun had a tremendous battle in the semifinal against Poul Erik Hoyer Larsen. In the final, SunJun suffered cramps and Peter Ramsmussen was crowned World Champion.
Congrats Saina Nehwal, as no 1 player and winning in homeground. Must be feeling good. And congrats for the fans as well. For Ratchanok, hopefully she trains harder for her fitness so in the future this kind of match won't happen again.
Watching Orleans International 2015 final matches is even more interesting now compared to this match. Sorry here.
No problem with me,suit yourself. It's a matter of opinion, no scientific analysis but that's how I see it.
OK, thank you. But Sun Jun generally has no fitness problem unlike Intanon who is somewhat lacking in that aspect.
Intanon's match with Marin yesterday really took a toll on her. She really must work to improve her fitness.
I agree with this too. apart from 2013 WC final and yesterday semi, how many 3-games matches have Intanon won? without stamina, how to get into good position fast, react sharp and stay focus for every point.
