BWF WORLD Superseries Finals 2014 : Day 4 (20th December 2014) - SEMIFINALS

and i am eager to see akane yamaguchi and srikanth, when will this match end

 

Having softened up the JPN girls by draining quite a bit of their energy in G1, the CHN twins are going on the offensive more in G2 and duly equalize in decisive manner to force a decider.

 

Luo sisters need 1 or 2 points at least before the change of sides...

 

I sense a momentum shift here... Japanese should have gone to the change with a five point lead...

 

The CHN girls are getting it wrong again in G3, letting the JPN dictate the rally.

 

I'm now back after a shower and went out to buy dinner and still the WD is still in progress as expected!

 

Post the scores here please

 

The JPN girls are playing a more positive and proactive game, I think they will win it.

 

17-14 to JPN...

 

I believe the Luo sisters will learn a lesson from this defeat, hoping to wear the opponents down without attacking much may not work unless they are really tired. The best defense is still attack and counterattack provided you got enough energy left to do it.

 

Next on court, the rising child prodigy JPN star vs the accomplished senior KOR stalwart.

 

Akane is developing into an all-rounder, not so much a rallying, stroke player.

 

At the moment, it's experience vs youthful exuberance, and experience is having the upper hand, 14-6 to Sung...

 

Once again, Akane demonstrating her retrieving ability taking the shuttle late and still getting it back nicely.

 

Sung playing at a high pace and Akane is trying to cope with the speed.

 

Sung on the verge of wrapping up G1....

 

Done, 21-13 to Sung. Expect Akane to fight back fiercely in G2.

 

Is that Son Wan Ho at coaching chair? He looks so good with that hair.

 

Son Wan Ho on courtside contributing his share of ideas to Sung JH.

 

If Akane manages to take G2, I think the match will ultimately go to her.
