Kanta isn't able to handle the Lindanesque attacks of LSF. I hate when my predictions are correct. JPN out after this match. Unless there is an absolute miracle in MD2
LSF will endure this set and the push hard at the business end. If Kanta resist the push of LSF then 3rd game Kanta will win. But he will not be able to hold the attacks.
Is there a requirement to have the vaccine for entry as an audience member for this Thomas Cup? It looks very packed inside the stadium and not even any space between seats, and it would be catastrophe if the delta variant had a breakout in the audience for this event.
Perhaps holding the racquet up to block the opponent before he hits the shuttle should be considered as obstruction at the net area, I don't know, maybe the rule should reconsider it.
If Hoki didn't mess up Yuta. Damn. If Yuta played with someone else. Japan wouldn't have been out since Momo won. Very sad. But I like to watch LSF play
I think Europe has already open up this kind of events and there’s no restrictions? English premier league matches are packed like sardines too! Do correct me if I’m wrong on the restrictions
It is an obstruction if by holding up your racket, you impede the opponent from completing their swing, according to the rules. However, this is up to the umpire to call. I guess if the umpire feels if you hold up your racket but the opponent could have completed their swing (and not collide with your racket), then the umpire will judge in your favor.
100,000 in the audience, that's crazy. However, I assume since it's F1, the audience was outside, which makes a huge difference. You're a lot less likely to catch covid outside and even if you catch it outside, usually the concentration of covid you catch is much less than indoors. I also think that much of the 100K audience is spread around the race track, which helps. Although I remember for the final stretch and finish line, there is always a very packed seating area with a lot of people.
While every junior players were focusing on being the best. LSF was focusing on emulating his childhood hero Lin Dan. Everywhere he went, he wore the cape of Lin Dan with a big grin on his face. Today he not only showed his top 10 level but even showed that he will soon be as bulky as Lin Dan. And a little touch with the Lin Dan edition Comfort Z.
