Li-Ning SINGAPORE Open SS 2013 : Day 1 & 2 (18th & 19th June) - Qualifying & R/32

It's easy for Ko/Lee as they strolled to a striaght-set victory over the Rainbow pair.

I guess it will be back to Shen Ye/Hong Wei for the World Championships.
 
If i were LYB, I'd make Hong Wei and Chai Biao practice nothing but serve and serve return for a month. Its their most glaring weakness.
 
Right now its shocking how badly the Chinese return serve. They just push it into the middle of the court every time.

It's true that Hong Wei does have a thundering smash. Nevertheless, as long as you don't lift the shuttle high, this pair is absolutely clueless.

The overall match statistics (if your trust TS) is:
18 vs 13 smash winners for Ko/Lee
14 vs 11 net winners also for the Korean pair
8 vs 5 Other winners for the Korean pair -- which means more unforced errors for the CHN pair.
 
Angga/Rian are in a tricky match against the Thai pair. Ko Herry IP won't be happy if they lose in the first-round again this week.
 
Chai Biao is getting worse, 80% of the time giving points away easily to the opponents. Net play, defence play and long/short rallies play are really bad. He has to practise harder on these areas.


If i were LYB, I'd make Hong Wei and Chai Biao practice nothing but serve and serve return for a month. Its their most glaring weakness.
 
Sigh....another first-round defeat yet again for Angga/Rian as they lost to Jongjit/Phuangpuapech, 20-22 in the rubber-set, despite leading 19-17.
