Usually at these situations, the ladies who is at the front serving is better than the men serving from the back.
I think Delrue suddenly changed the speed and direction of the serve making Guo do a mistake on his return of serve. The court view camera switched away from her serve very quickly so it’s difficult to observe.
What a drama in XD!. Chinese player asking for medical timeout. After the new rules, I thought they wont allow for timeout. But umpire allowed it, which made the chinese XD pair to get a breather. And also Delrue's delaying got herself a yellow card and also chinese pair got a point (I guess. Dont remember exactly at which point). She started protesting when umpire asked her to pass the shuttle which she thought it should be changed. So much drama
Sometimes I think ASG, Fajar/Rian and other INA players should feel ashamed of ZSW/HYQ, Lee Yang and other players who decided to retire even though they were still able to win titles.
Indonesian MS is in trouble. No younger players are in a hurry to step in the shoes of their seniors yet.
Speaking of ZSW/HYQ, they have achieved almot all. And during the end lately, they were beaten a few times. So better to retire now as you will not be unbeatable forever. Good decisions.
Yeah, that’s quite surprising and only happened in this MD discipline. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to the SF of MD match between the Indian pair vs the new Korean pair. That should have been the final.
Glad to see you back. Time flies, your TTY has retired. Are you still in Kelantan? eaglehelang was here 1 or 2 years back.
inthanon racket skills are still top notch. she outplayed asy badly at the net asy clearly has gotten better physically this year, i'm still not sure whether she can beat wzy though
So is Badminton gaining fans with this SF or F lineups? Feels like Badminton is stagnant and pretty boring. I would say right now MS is the most exciting. You have all these players at the peak of their power for the next 4 years still. But when all this MS is gone where will badminton go? MD dont really have the brand names anymore. Can these names attract sponsors and more prize money for 2027 round onwards. If you get what i mean, even this forum is cut by half or 70% in crowdedness. It does feel this way
