Yonex DENMARK Open SS Premier 2014 : FINALS (19th October 2014)

Another net error from CL. 5-3 to SWH.

Now 6-3 to SWH after a lucky shot at the tape.

 

Precisely, playing in the team and the individual scenarios are two entirely different ballgames.

 

SWH still leads 7-5 after a side line smash that caught CL.

 

Good Analysis by Morten Frost. Yes, Chen Long hasn't been able to deal with huge expectations of his team from him.

 

CLong hit long and SWH leads 8-6.

 

Yes, speed up the game, anticipate, anticipate, anticipate, Chen Long.

 

A powerful side line smash from CL narrows the deficit to 8-9, still in SWH's favor.

 

Long again hits long to give Son another point 10-8 but CL follows up quickly with a body smash and when SWH hits out, the points are levelled at 10-all.

 

Whenever Chen Long goes on the offensive, I think he has more than 50% chance of winning the point; whenever he rallies, about 50+_5% .

 

Lin Dan seldom allow any opponent to settle into their rhythm.

 

Chen Long's superb defence is forcing Son Wh to go for the lines.

 

CL hates to lose 10-11 at the interval and quickly smashes onto to SWH when the game resumes 11-all.

 

Too close for comfort.

 

See-saw battle again 12-all until SWH bravely hits a net drop which CL fails to capitalize.

 

awesome backhand from SWH!

 

Chen Long is still not reading SWH's game well enough. Lin Dan would be in control by now.

 

Great backhand dropshot from Chen Long.

 

Chen Long injects pace again.

 

One pt in it.

 

CL seems to play timidly now, waiting for SWH to make a mistake which he unfortunately did, 16-15 to SWH. But the latter regains a point with a smash. 17-15.
