Yonex ALL ENGLAND 2021 : R/32-Final (Birmingham, 17-21 March)

[Sundis]

I don't understand. Does Y Watanabe play 2 games per day? Is it ok, nothing against the rule?

He competes in both MD and XD and its not against the rules

It's Endo's spirit in Higashino's body.

Defence likes god

 

[RichF]

Oof, that is a quite a hill to climb!

 

[terrynguyen121988]

Oof, that is a quite a hill to climb!

It's not Chan Peng Soon hill to climb

 

[RichF]

I'm already planning the second game! ;-)

I don't know if CYF is enough competition for Okuhara. China had lost their dominance in WS and WD for quite some time.

Before covid, cyf is nearly perfect, dominated all the tournaments, win back to back to back, i dont know about her now but she is so stable, and has really good h2h to all ws players, except tai

Perfectly ok, a lot of pairs did it.

One time China had XD MD and WD with people playing twice on all discipline (Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei for example).

 

[Gacon1234star]

Higashino has improved so much in her defend, its a pity cant watch her play agains heavy hitter like jordan and zheng siwei

 

[RichF]

Ellis needs a backhand smash/mid-court kill! (can't always drop)

I think there are three group in WS

The first is Marin, Chen YF, Tai
The second is Okuhara, Yamaguchi, An Se Young, Ratchanok
And the a group with Sindhu and He Binjiao, they can surprise us in big tournaments

Yes!

in all honesty, if the Olympics is not held in Japan, I would think that other WS will take the title: Marin, Tzu Ying, Intanon, Yufei... And even Sindhu.. They are all strong contenders. Depending on the draw too of course.

 

[RichF]

Again! Where was the backhand net kill?!

I think the Chinese players will come back extremely strong. From the pictures I've seen of their training, they've been working very hard on the physical aspect (and surely other parts as well). They are the only nation that has several world class players in every discipline, so their sparring will always be of higher quality than for other nations.

 

[Baddie lover]

There's that racquet touch gesture bw Oku and Intanon. First time seeing a pic of two competitors just after the match.

 

[terrynguyen121988]

Two XD Japan in Final, is this a first time in history ?

 

[**KZ**]

its gonna be a freaking long match between these two

 

[Sundis]

Antonsen is reading Axelsens attacking shots well

 

[Sundis]

Antonsen is going to win G1 it looks like

 

[dood1234]

Axelsen’s technique is a little better than Antonsen but Antonsen seem to have better mental game than Axelsen.

 

[Sundis]

5-1 to Ax now in G2, Antonsen gonna drop G2 soon
