Yeah who cares. Ko/Shin also win WorldChamp. Who cares. They can always continue playing like who cares and see how long they can last Even Ko/Shin who are least talented puts more effort than them. If they only care about that then so be it. To me, its just 1 title. AG is also 1 title. Just one is every other year and one every 4 years which is fair enough looking at the seeds. We expect more from Li/Liu, much much more. They played together since youth, should have achieved more than minions with their physicalities that are second to none. As it is, its just waste of career.
They are both the Asia and the World Champions. Yet they had never won their title defeating minions. Minions didn't play in BAC, and Kamura/Sonoda beat minions in WC. Liu/Zhang may only have won 2 titles so far but at least they had won one against minions in the final
What happen to Li Liu? I thought winning WC will boost their confidence. But instead they have not mount any title challenge since their win. In fact looks like China men's team is on honeymoon after winning team event in AG
So if minions play li Liu, 100 percent win rate. If minions don't play li Liu, their win rate drop? Looks like li Liu is minions lucky charm
They only care about being China number 1. Where is that motivation gone when they beat Liu/Zhang in ChinaOpen last year.
Anyone kind enough to post li Liu match? Interested to see what's up with them. This is by far the biggest upset of the tournament ?
Correction : Liu/Zhang beat minions in QF Minions have never standing up on lower podium since one year ago.. Last time they came out as runner up was in this very tourney, Denmark Open 2017.
No, Liu/Zhang won Denmark Open 2017 beating minions. That was the only time Liu/Zhang had ever won a match against minions. One of the best match of the year for me at least.
Chen Yufei started badly and was trailing far behind when she mounted a comeback to take G1, 21-19, from Michelle Li.
Yeah 2 of the 17 Finals they lost is to LiuZhang at Denmark and BoeMo at Korea. Almost 90% winning rate in Final.
This is going to sound weird, seems like most of the (higher ranked) players are getting sick of playing badminton at the moment. I have this impression that they are just playing because they have to not because they want to.
