China 2 down and has to win the next 3 matches. But well done Thailand
Thanks for posting. Zhou Meng lost to Chaiwan in three-sets,a bit unexpected.China 2 down and has to win the next 3 matches. But well done Thailand
Right, I didn't watch HYX's match with KM in full , only caught glimpses of it as I was concentrating on the Chen Long - Lee Zijia match in parallel. But after watching the replay, boy, was I surprised and impressed, Huang Yuxiang was brilliant and played above himself, and Momota wasn't playing badly at all, only not 100% at most.
However, HYX is not known for this consistency, he could upset a much higher ranked or most in-form opponent and then fail to follow through with good results as often happened in the past. And that's exactly what occurred today as he went down to Kantaphon, even dropping G1 badly.
He is 26 years of age already, unless he is a late bloomer,I'm not too optimistic about his performance going forward.
I managed to catch it on Zhuafan.live, from G2 actually but it's enough to impress me. Not available on youtube yet, hope somebody post it later.Justin.Is there a recording of Chen Xiaoxin v Yeo Jia Min? I couldn't find it in Youtube or dreamsports.
Maybe one of the CHN WD players wasn't feeling too good that day, otherwise I see no reason for splitting the usual partnerships as they aren't familiar to the opponents to want to introduce the element of surprise.Its surprising that out of the 40 matches to be played in the quarterfinals today China has 18 representatives. The Champions Thailand has 3, MS, XD and WS and Indonesia, the runner up also has 3, XD, MD and WS. Korea has 6, the second most representatives.
It looks like the Chinese coaches made a surprising and fatal change in the WD in the semi finals against Thailand in the Team event. China's WD Luo Xu Min and LI Yi Jin are seeded 2 and Zhou Xin RU and Lin Fang Ling are seeded 4 in the Individual event. The Chinese decided to split the pairings in the semi finals of the team event and fielded Luo Xu Min /Zhou Xin Ru who lost the vital 4th match to the Thailand WD and China lost 3-1.
Both the 2nd and 4th seeded Chinese WD are in the quarterfinals in the Individual event today and the irony is that the 2nd seeded Chinese Pair beat the same Thailand Pair very easily, 21-13 and 21-14 !!
Overconfidence?
Any link to watch the matches??Maybe one of the CHN WD players wasn't feeling too good that day, otherwise I see no reason for splitting the usual partnerships as they aren't familiar to the opponents to want to introduce the element of surprise.
