2016 Yonex Open CHINESE TAIPEI GP Gold : Qualifying-FINALS (28th June-3rd July)

CTC's fave shot, round-the-head x-ct.

 

I wonder who is in charge of training Qiao Bin, Li Zhifeng or the guy beside him - he's become a smarter and more thinking player now. That's good.

 

Maybe QB should play a disguised drop shot instead of another hard smash in the last one, too bad he smashes wide.

 

Back level 12-all....

 

CTC has met his match in Qiao Bin in this tourney.

 

I forgot, Vincent Wong almost beat CTC.

 

QB makes me think about chen hong.

CTC's usual setup, smash,the opponent returns low (but not too low), quickly rush forward to flick fast to catch him off guard, and all the time ready to jump smash if the opponent returns high; he times his shots so well.

 

Lifting and lifting to CTC is not a good idea at least change direction, if possible.

 

Qiao Bin is not playing enough nets and he's not very good at it.

 

Luckily, Qiao Bin's fitness level is not bad, can cope with CTC's.

 

Yeah, better shot variation needed to deal with CTC.

 

Simple, straightforward shots are totally harmless to CTC who can suddenly launch an attack.

 

When the opponent's game is well read by CTC , he is most dangerous, attacking at will, anticipating the returns and finishing it off in style.

 

When Qiao Bin can kep CTC guessing, he's got the initiative.

 

Just 1 pt in it now for Qiao Bin, 11-12

 

Back level, 12-all

 

CTC has very quick reflexes.

 

Qiao Bin not mixing up his shots enough, too often easily read by CTC

 

I remember it was this time last year, also in the final,that Chen Long routed Chou Tien Chen who in the semifinal beat Lin Dan.
