A very good answer from you. I shall consider this to be one of my questions to these players when I meet them next time.
^ The players themselves probably think they're playing with the real thing... until they go to the local store and happen to swing one around.
Tago improved his body defense. I remember when he played Jan Jorgensen at the Sudirman Cup this year he lost a lot of points to body smashes
So many surprised from day 1 but in the end, I think the winner probably would be the familiar names. MS : LCW still survives and looking likely to win WS : I think Wang Yihan or TTY will win. MD : Ahsan/Hendra still looking strong despite their lack of preparation WD : Ma/Tang is the favourite XS : top 3 seeds makes it to SF. Again familiar names of past SS winner will be the winner
LCW prolly will win but if KT makes it to final, it may be a good game with locals support. Akane looks very good and can upset WYH if Wang goes to final. My guess: MS - LCW. WS - Akane. Let's see.
Clash of titan? Their last meeting in korea open was happened almost 2 years with chn pair comfortably win in str8 set. Xu/ma more often met ahmadd/natsir in recent. Imo
Scorpion1 > thanks you for link, but i cant open it. [h=1]404 Not Found[/h].any others link for Cort2, pia/majin
LCW played the best I've ever seen him. Beat the world no. 8 in 29 minutes. He was smashing winners at will.
Yamaguchi will win this. Have you seen her play? She's basically the world no. 2 right now, in terms of technique and form etc. Only Ratchanok can beat her I reckon, and only because Ratchanok has some ridiculous touch shots.
What a surprise by Shizuka Uchida, she is now in lead 11-1 in the 2nd game interval, while she has secured 1st game 21-17 against Wang Yi Han.
