The most dramatic final match is none but MS, what a superb comeback by Super Dan, trailed behind 3-11 then he stayed calm to catch up and topped podium at the end, Axelsen must be disasppointed to waste such big opportunity, well this is the toughest match for Lin Dan here beside first round clash against Son Wan Ho. Two thirilling finals also happenned in XD and MD where both champions, Fischer/Pedersen and Lee YD/Yoo YS respectively needed extra point to seal the victory. We'll see another turnaround in WD when Zhao/Zhong took 9 consecutive points for triumphant over Danish pair. Okuhara extended her head to head against Yamaguchi, she dominated whole match particularly game 2. A maiden Superseries title for Okuhara, more and more young players bag gold medal at top tier tournaments Next stop, Seoul for top badminton actions
If you compare their records, Nadal outscores FedEx in every count bar slam count. I don't consider either GOAT, but I do consider Nadal more than twice as good as FedEx. Even Nole will end up surpassing Fed in the end. Too bad Bud Collins and BenRothenberg coronated Fedex so soon, at just 4 slams
[MENTION=122561]Nine Tailed Fox[/MENTION] We all do and this compatriot is at times taken aback the amount of devotion you have towards the illegal occupiees of Aksai Chin and claimants of Arunachal.
[MENTION=122561]Nine Tailed Fox[/MENTION] would love the list. We all would have pretty Cosmo, global lists I am sure. Maybe it calls for a chitchat thread. What say [MENTION=1]kwun[/MENTION] ??
Impossible to disagree, even for those like me who have progressed from the mute button to the power button
IMO her antecedents barely matter, results do. If place of birth were to be considered, then maybe every Faroe Islander needs to be considered in the GOAT hers just for turning pro for a week.
Viktor Axelsen on Lin Dan: “He played really well when he was down,” said Axelsen. “I struggled to find high pace and to get the attack. His lifts were of very good quality and that made it hard for me to get anything to work with. He played some good counters and some surprising shots. I tried to attack, but his shots were of great quality. He played a more clever game, didn’t do many unforced errors.”
