Shi Yuqi has finally "graduated". He doesnt play like its still work in progress. He plays his shots with accuracy and intention and can even add deceptions and delayed shots. One WIP shot he still has is his defensive lift to attacking players. Its not an attacking lift and is punished by VA and SK a few times. But overall his game has finally matured. He has beaten three of the best attacking players, which is impressive. His game against LCW is interesting. If he can prolong the first set, making LCW smash often, he has a good chance later. Chong Wei will try to dominate Shi with speed,power and deception to wrap up the first set. SY must not fall for his deceptions and be ready to defend the torrent of smashes. I am rooting for SY to win and prove that he has finally mastered the changes to his game since his junior days.
