Onedera is a smashing machine and an endurance tanker. He will play all day long without any tiredness.
Indeed, there's one more Popov, his little brother Boris who also playing badminton as stated in BWF news article : https://bwfbadminton.com/news-single/2019/10/11/popov-clan-charts-a-fairytale/ ==================================== “I want to make all three of my sons badminton players. My last son Boris is 10 years old and I expect him to be a good player. I also have other good players in the centre.” ======================================== Yup, Christo Popov playing smarter than his opponent, China is suffering shortages of talented MS player. One step closer for French to clinch historical gold medal, emulating Viktor Axelsen, the only European MS player who topped WJC podium (2010), an intriguing final showdown.
She's tactical player, back to back final, will she nail second Super 100 title in this year against the well developed Russian Evgeniya Kosetskaya?
The Popov family is quite famous in France: it's not just the father Toma Popov and his three sons. There's also the younger brother of the father: Mihail Popov, who played for France after Bulgaria (where he was national champion), and who is the coach of the Stoeva sisters. Christo Popov is entertaining: he has that crazynesss typical of left-handers.
Riko Gunji only 1.6m tall and yet such an offensive player, firing smashes left, right and center. Remarkable. Comparatively speaking, Zhou Meng is too passive.
Lakshya Sen's stamina is not bad, of course, he's skillful as well, and that's what's needed to beat Yusuke, a remarkable retriever.
Yusuke playing style is a lot like Subhankar Dey, both amazing retrievers and hard-working. But I think Yusuke smashes are more decisive than Dey. I look forward to see more of Yusuke and Congratulations Lakshya for your first super 100 title.
Surprisingly, onlyTan Ning was able to push Gunji hard, stretching her to three sets and losing by a mere two points, 21-19, in the decider, even leading by 19-18.
This one, the WJC MS , should be a good fight. Perhaps a slight edge to the more experienced two-time champion, Kunlavut
