I’d be more than glad to see him join the forum, but let’s be realistic...it’s more than easy to spoof any name you want when joining. Short of official verification I could be Lin Dan
I agree with you. No idea why some people think it is utterly nonsense. Do please take note I am not biased against Momota. In fact, I wrote against someone here who said Momota can be easily beaten because everybody studied and knew how to play against his style.
Totally agree with you VA s body language was positive throughout G2. When VA chalked up many consecutive points up to 16, VA was able to play his game and KM was looking flustered, then the momentum swung to KM after that. VA and his coaches will have to analyze how he managed to rack up a string of points and then lose the momentum. It s not possible to rack up consecutive points if there were mental blockage
How can Morten be a judge to that? He's a Dane and a conflict of interest. Viktor is the only hope left for Europe in men's singles today dominated by Asians. I'm sure Morten would be biting his nails today watching how Viktor lost in G2. Also, I don't approve of Viktor's ethics on court such as putting his racket at the net and obstructing the opponent's play. He did that thrice today and it's a cheap and lowdown attempt to win a point. He was lucky Momota was graceful enough not to object firmly. I think BWF should look into this more closely
Judge of what? I don't care about the match. Let him say about whether Victor was an under-achiever player.
This was what Momota said after the match : On being able to recover from a 16-6 deficit: "I took a 'so-what' attitude." It was where, due to the widening point difference, I was already looking at a final game and "decided to go all out to hit clears". However, in my current condition, I was lucky to have beaten Victor. Source by @kurako
Sure, any player would benefit from a few sessions with a proven sports psychologist. However, if I were VA or his coaches, I would gather all the videos of matches that KM lost and analyse them first. That s the fastest way to find out what is effective against KM.
Dear All I thought I would join, as I follow this Forum However, did not want to hide under anonymous name, which would not be correct. Obviously I am not able to answer most of the question asked, but will from time to time contribute with my thoughts in general. I am bound by certain rules and hope for an understanding in this matter. You, just as I, have a passion in life, namely badminton. Hope badminton will be the winner, always...
I don't know. You can only beat what's in front of you. He did well seizing his chance and won all the way to the title in WC 2017 just like Momota seized his in WC 2018. Are you going to say that Momota was "lucky" for getting easier path with his draw last year? Two of the top seeds who had beaten Momota last year withdrew (LCW due to his cancer treatment, SWH due to injury) and replaced by qualifiers.
I really don't understand what you are writing about. Mental blockage cannot come up after racking in consecutive points? Happened many times in other sports as well. Leading and then just lost it completely. I don't think LD command of English is as good as yours. So yeah, No!
Hello Morten! Nice to meet you. Maybe you should update your own thread, it´s a bit dull at the moment: https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/morten-frost.54423/
Understood. But you haven't said anything yet this time. Care to share with us your thoughts in general of this tournament? We would love to hear it.
No need to. Many Asians in the past, including me were wrongly explained that it is a fault to obstruct an opponent shot at the net. It is not totally true. The obstruction rule can only be use if the opponent prevent you from completing your shot. So, the only way for Umpire to fault Victor is for Momota to play a follow through shot and hit Victor racket.
And if that were the case (hit the racket), there would be likely an intrusion onto the other side of the court (on either player’s part), yes?
