TYT smash prowess is well-known and anticipated, the opponents are ever ready to defend her smashes. I think she has to time it better and vary the speed and angle a little as well as introduce some disguised shots to confuse the opponents.
The JPN pair is letting themselves go and playing freely while the CHN pair is trying to get into rhythm.
The JPN pair is keeping the shuttle down as much as possible and seizing the initiative as well. TYT should realize she cannot rely on smashing power alone.
The psychology of the match is not to be underestimated. The CHN pair is still too tense and making unforced errors and allowing the JPN to control more of the rallies. A good test for TYT/YY , let's see how they cope with such a situation, stay composed and make the necessary adjustments.
YU Yang being the senior and more experienced player has to come to the fore and take charge of the situation to guide and mentor Tang Yuanting effectively.
You see, TYT is too eager and stressed in wanting to finish the rally off with a power smash, and hits wide.
Yu Yang showing her court sense, maturity and mettle; after all, she's been there and done it so many times.
