Non playing:
As mentioned in other forums the concourse activities were poor. I don't blame Yonex for banning other stalls from parading their wares, but they should at least have planned more interesting activities to stop people moaning about it........
The Relaxtion zone was no more than some (about 8) comfy chairs - hardly adequate for the 2000 plus spectator, and as it was in the middle of the concourse it was hadly tucked away in a quiet corner.......
The History Zone was pretty much a larger version of the past winners you find every year in the programme (with a lot of Spelling/naming errors and inconsistency eg Gao LIng one year, Ling Gao the next........
Why did the T-shorts run out? I don't neccessarily buy them but my Mrs does & they apparently ran out on Friday, before the two sell out days, surely a large mis calculation in quants?..................
Playing:
The beginning of the end for Lin Dan IMHO, sad as it is and legend as he is.........
WD standard nowhere.......I can't see who in the next 3 yrs will challenge CHN domination of this event......
XD Standard pretty poor. The best two pairs were in the final, but They are by know means perfect. I want LYD to step up his game.......
WS......Chinese WS are they bored of winning? I want to see players dominating the games, not struggling through matches as most of the WS players did......
MS.....I am looking to Rumbaka (INA) & Shon (KOR) to make big breakthroughs for next year.......
MD.......Only one thing I want JR to Win OG!!!!!
Linejudges..........I am not player, but for the players calling for Hawkeye or other technology (video replay is not good enough for me) would you rather have 1/2 mis calls a match but more prize money or less prize money and accurate calls. A the end of the dy Hawkeye is expensive & it will only be on 1 court, is it worth taking more money out of the game for a minor inconvenience?
Yellow/Red cards.......What is the point?
I am sure I will think of more later.............
