yeah, WCH played very well all week, as if he's making a statement that he's not finished yet... hope he continues this form all the way!
Calculated next Thursday's MS rankings ... 1(no change) LD 2(-) CH 3(-) LCW (if LCW had entered to CM final, he would have replaced CH to be World No.2. However, LCW has closed up the gap - only about 500 WR points apart.) 4(-) CJ 5(-) BCL 6(+1) PG 7(-1) CY 8(+1) KJ 9(+1) TH 10(-2) BP 11(-) Sony 12(-) Shoji 13(+4) Wacha 14(-) Hafiz 15(+10) WCH 16(-1) Ronald 17(-4) Dicky 18(+4) Simon 19(-3) LTS 20(-2) Andrew PSH and Ng Wei, currently ranked 19th & 20th respectively, will be dropped out of top-20 in 4 days' time.
It is better that umpire/service judges are not chinese when the matches involve chinese players....to avoid any accusation from others...like today INA MD got questionable calls....it might affect their play and concentration....anyway...better next time
yeah. my point is that they try to give their best performance regardless of their opponents. ZN does show that she is rather out of shape and off form.
dude relax. ZN's thirty two years of age, nothing strange if she's off form. im surprised to see a world no. 1 at 32 years old actually.
You get the feeling this match has been pre-planned, kinda like pro-wrestling. XXF (the villain) will win the 1st game. The heroine (ZN) makes a stunning comeback to take the second. They struggle mightily in the 3rd but miraculously, on the brink of defeat, our heroine pulls it out of the fire to lift the trophy.
Not only INA MD but ENG MX as well. I saw Anthony Clark clapping his hands (to insult the line judge who gave the call) and pointed with his racquet where the shuttlecock landed. In his judgement, it was out and made an appeal to umpire. But to no avail, the line judge prevail.
Not just for today's matches... Most of the matches in this tournament have got chinese umpires and service judges... I suppose BWF and China agreed with this.
