    At least I've never heard of such a score....
    Imagine what you can say at the end, when shaking the losers' hand : "welllllllllll, errrrrr, cough cough...."
    You can't even tell him "well done" as he even didn't manage to score ONE point..

    yes, I saw that on his twitter account, should he be proud or ashamed ?

    I won a match in a tournament once, 21-0, it felt really good, but I felt a bit sorry for my opponent, and I got a few shaken heads from some on lookers, as I didn't give a single point to my opponent, but in a competitive game, why should I ?

    Yup that is a kinda touchy subject...

    I guess some consider you may have give that poor boy at least ONE (we ain't talkin about 4-5 points eh), single point to him in order not to get him too sad or something..

    Anyway the level is very wide in the tournaments in England if there can be such a level difference, right ?

    It was a mistake by the tournament organizer, I was put in the wrong division (I was in D2, instead of the usualy D1) and it wasn't a very high standard tournament. So as you can see there was quite a difference in standard between me and my opponent. I got an apology from the tournament organizer at the end for putting me in the wrong division:) as I ended up winning D2 quite comfortably.:)

    And it's not England, look slightly further north:)

    The first 21-0, 21-0 in International Championships using the NSS

    .
    AFAIK, the first 21-0, 21-0 at International Championships using the NSS occurred on Day 3 (April 17) at the 2008 Badminton Asia Championships held in Malaysia.

    In the Womens Doubles events, Shinta Mulia Sari/Lei Yao (Singapore) defeated Valeriya Efremova/Violetta Shtyrova (Turkmenistan) 21-0, 21-0 in 10 minutes.

    Well it's not that far from England :p No I didn't apologize, he packed up his stuff and went home before I had a chance.:) (btw when I was D1 & D2 I mean it was division 1 and Division 2 and not Level D) in case you were wondering.

    Had I had the chance though, I would have went over to the guy and gave him some words of advice and encouragement.

    Ok he was probably too sad to talk with you....
    In this case I would have go to see the organizers and ask them why there is a such good guy compared to the usual level in this division..

    Unfortunately in SS or other BWF sanctioned tourneys they can't do that :p

    We should give credit the winners of the 21-0, 21-0 matches

    .
    But surely we should give credit the winners, than to discredit the losers in the 21-0, 21-0 matches.

    Yes, the losers have shown us that they were much lower in skill level, but the winners have shown us that they have won without making any error.

    Making no error in 42 rallies is not an easy task to achieve.

    I guess it's much more easy to get 15-0 than 21-0 ??

    yes, and it's probably easier to achieve 21-0 in singles rather than doubled.

    I know about you guys, but to me, I consider getting 0 when my score is on 8 or below.

    Never encounter this type of score before. Think it is going to be very hard to hit 21-0. Unless the level gap is really too wide. Since I always play with people of about the same level, so is never an issue.
