    Well said. Tai Tzu Ying said she's not invincible, too tired playing so many tournaments according to this news article (maybe you can translate appropriately ;) ) => http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/badmin/2018-09-20/doc-ihkhfqnt1438827.shtml

    It's BWF regulation to force top players compete many tournaments that certainly will affect player's performance and cause injury risk.

    And even to show up in the tournaments (then losing in R1) many players have to travel here and there in weeks instead of resting at their home or where ever they could feel refreshed. I can't imagine anyone to play their best in every tournament for 8 months in a row without getting tired nor affecting their performance.

    in this kind of situation when one partner get injury and slow, the opponents must adapt 'no mercy' mode in order to win, no matter what cost...

    Oh yeah..I just researched her and seems like she was a doubles player and has like two WC bronze medals and No Oly Medals..but a lot of CWG medals and EU Championship medals so I would say she must be one of the good players in the cuircit of her times.

    Ah, she's young sounding though. Usually young broadcasters try too hard to imitate a known in the field before developing their own style. But there are also awful veteran commentators as well.

    Marin is disgustingly and distractingly loud.

    Marin"s screams are actually distracting and are a pain to the ears.

    I know this 0 sportswoman spirit is what makes people Hate her and remember how chinese crowd booed her even when she won her third Tittle.
    I guess regardless of her earnings she has gotten much hatred than love from most of the badminton fans.

    In Ratchanoks case its the opposite RI regardless of her victories and loses would always be remembered as one of the most gracious girls on court.

    It's a fast hall and fast shuttle so players actually play slow. just opposite of JO imo.

    What is needed here is patience and tactical brilliance. Cut down on errors.
