-Some nice matches and resulst but a lot of them was expected. In MS as I see it theres a top 4 with the guys from todays semi in which the finalist is superior is TH is in form. ive seen the 4 playing a lot of times and LCW and LD are the faster than the rest while PG and TH have better skills.
Even as the fastest player among the 4 LCW lacks some experience as I see it, specially in the major events, he looses a lot of points in a row and furthermore hes weak when played down in hes forehand where he has to take it behind hes body. Else LCW is a great player and I predict he will shine even more when he develop his skills, since he got the basic requirements for getting to the top which is speed and power.
What comes to Gade hes a real joy to see on court, good sportsmanship and extremely good technique and footwork. However still very fast it seems that his injury and lessened weight training after coming back has made him loose that energy and speed that made him the fastest and powerful player during 97-01. Furthermore Gade doesnt tend to smash that much which before was his strongest weapon
t Gade will remain in top 8 until the olympics but will only be counted as a dark horse for the major titles and can be a threat for LD TH when they have an offday.
TH and LD is superior atm. compared to each other they are day and light when looking at their style, only comparable thing is the big smash from backline which both wins a lot of points on. Taufik has the best net play in the world and in MS netplay is extremely important, with such a net play and a powerful smash a player can get very far. But besides that taufik got an exelent technique and can hit himself out of any critical situation. If not fit Taufik gets in trouble and that just marks my point again that if not fast and fit a player has to have some extraordinary like Taufik has just to be in top 10. LD is the opposite player, above average technique but still not comparable to Gade and Taufik, very good stamina and very good defence. Further he has a lethal weapon in his smashes and his speed. Wont use that many sentences about LD, hes just number 1 imo since Taufik is too unreliable atm.
In MD I kinda agree with the person saying in this thread that MD isnt as it used to be, whereas MS has improved the last decade MD has not and I will go that far as to say that Rexy/ ricky tony/candra Chea/kit ha/kim is better than any on world scene atm, i may be flamed for saying this but thats how i see it
