2013 SUDIRMAN CUP : (day 8, 26th May) FINAL! China vs. Korea

BC server has a strange sense of humor. 5 mins before SC2013 final, it starts to acting up. :(

WS to China. As much as I would like a repeat of BYJ's 2010 upset against WYH I don't see SJH beating an in-form LXR. But anything's possible!

I couldn't see LXR is in her best form, too many mistakes !!!
I could see SJH in her very best form, especially the semifinal match against Inthanon.
Their head to head can't be a judgement for this meet (if the game goes to the 4th match), I give 50:50 for LXR vs SJH.

the score is not important. it can be 3 - 0, 3 - 1 or even only 3 - 2. the most important is the 5th titles in a row :p

it can be 2-3 or 1-3 as well :p though unlikely to happen.
 
Come to think of it,the SF scare for from INA is a blessing in disguise lest CHN is lulled into complacency and let the undesirable or even shocking result occur later in the SF or F.

The lineup looks fine though I didn't quite XC/MJ to replace Z/Z. Let the show begin.

I just don't see that KOR squad has the adequate fire power to hinder CHN from securing its 5th consecutive Sudirman Cup holding!

For KOR team, to be able to perform in this finale is already a good achievement by itself... fate may paint differently if it's drew to face INA or DEN squad on the way here....
 
As for WS, I have a slight preference for WYH to be chosen instead of LXR who is sometimes given to lapses of concentration (brainfade as some would say except that this term is more appropriately used in F1 auto racing, the nature of the sport is different).

As for Xu Chen, he actually took the blame for that QF loss saying he inexplicably lost focus in the latter part of the 3rd set. Let's see how he redeems himself this time. Here we go, the battle begins.

remember 2010 UC, Korea even lost in the group.
 
KHN may look like a stick figure, her offensive is not bad.

a bit tense though.
 
Xu Chen may have more firepower than Zhang Nan but also less stable. Maybe CHN sensed that he is raring to go to make amends for himself and chose him for that motivation.
