Yonex DENMARK Open 2016 : Qualification - Round of 16 (18-20 October)

Too many things wrong with ZZ methinks. No finishing at all, often times he was in a position to kill the play with a smash or similar, he didnt. As a result, he has a tendency to go for long rallies which is ok if he has the skills and the physicality. His shots were too predictable for a long rally kind of play and suicide in face of an opponent as experienced as BL. Often times BL is too ready for him, especially after the 15 points mark where top physicality counts the most. For sure his physicality is wanting. He definitely needs to move on to a better coach to help him overcome all the weaknesses.

His style is too passive. And he is sticking with his father who I think can't offer anything new to ZZ.
Another aspect I don't like is his delaying tactics.
 
Chai Biao/Hong Wei, the top seed, retired after 2-1? That leaves all the remaining four CHN MD pairs in the second half of the draw.
 
Astrup/Rasmussen is definitely more ready for the Super Series than Attri/Reddy, but the Danes are just asking for trouble with their serves.... Study Boe or Lee Yong Dae properly-- once you stand still, DON'T move your racquet BEFORE you drop your shuttle.

But I still can't get over Astrup "blocking the net" as if he was playing volleyball, LOL.

I think Zulkiffli was trying to wear Leverdez out, but Leverdez actually has great stamina-- Leverdez's problem is that he's a bit big and slow for badminton, although he is so well-proportioned you can't really tell...
 
Poor dear Lucas Claerbout. After playing so well in game 1 losing narrowly 21-13 he got trashed flat in the second set by Angus Ng Ka Long 21-8.
 
Sun Yu is doing such a good job now. She is leading the game 16-6. At the rate that she is playing she will trash Kim Hyo Min flat today.
 
Looks like lots of Olympic players could not live uo to their standard today. I was expecting Manu Attri / Sumeeth Reddy to do a good job to win their MD match today. At least both did such a good job to qualify and play in Rio Olympics 2016.


Such a pity to see them lose their MD match today to the young Danish MD.
 
Wow Nichaon Jindapol is doing a good job now. She is leading the game 11-5 over Akane Yamaguchi. Looks like another slow start for Olympics 2016 player.
 
looks like LCW is the only left in MS as his compatriots Iskandar, ZZ and CWF are out of the tournament, maybe LCW unlikely gonna survive Wei Nan anyway...
 
any advise? i'm using proxyflow but still got the message "uploader has not make this video available in your country".
