one of Malay's fans did a dirty thing. Blowing the trumpet everytime Nishimoto serve, even it's long after the serve have done. It's just a normal match and Malaysia player was leading. WHY don't just enjoy it
A pity that IND didn't select Lakshya Sen, while all other youngsters at the same generation with him appeared here (Weng HY, Li SF, K.Naraoka, Popov, Brian Yang, Leong JH, K.Vitidsarn). I really wanna see how he's developing now.
The "selections" were a joke. I didn't follow much, but uber cup team is very difficult to understand (other than Lakshya Men's team is arguably the best they have right now)
Uber cup team is very young. They did not even play GP level tournament b4. In fact , aditi bhatt's first international senior match is against chen yufei. You cant judge them from this. But, we could afford to have only these players because India has only these players. How could you blame them?.
Sad to hear that, but each team can bring up to 12 players, IND just stopped at 10. KS and BSP are old and can be replaced. Btw LeongJH just won over Nishimoto. This may be his last match of the tournament but I think it's important and could raise up his confidence in future Congrats the guy!
JPN-MAS, 4-1 The 80 minutes titanic duel that involving world class technical skill that witnessing Momota egdes out one of his archrivals Lee ZJ. Both players display superb defense, shots precision and smart tactical play in grueling rallies that sapping energy so much. The All England Champion has tremendous development nowadays, reading well and very familiar with the Japanese ace pattern, Momota changed strategy a bit to more pro-active to attack rather than realying mostly on his rock solid defense. Aaron Chia/Soh WY succumb to pressure, unable to perform as they’re expected to be instead to produce massive unforced errors here and there. Kanta Tseuneyama almost slipped his opening game victory when Cheam JW chasing diligently but can't endure at the end. The scratch combination Koga/Watanabe look so sharp to vanquish their opponent. It's 2017 Asian Junior Champion Leong Jun Hao who denies Japan clean sheet to subdue the stuck Nishimoto. CHN v IND, 4-1 Actually India team has chance to upset the defending champion but almost isn't enough...Shi YQ delivers first point as expected, it's quite wrong tactic by Srikanth who lifting shuttlecock regularly then punished directly by hard smashes as Shi has transformed to be total offensive player. He/Zhou who seized limelight in Vantaa have no answer to handle Rankireddy/Shetty. Then Sameer Verma blows away his golden chance, 20-17 as Lu manages his nerves well on the verge of defeat. The second doubles also witnessing dramatic turnaround, Arjun/Kapila had handsome lead 18-11 then lost 24-26 to Liu/Wang. Li SF completes 4-1 victory for China with little trouble.
Its a repeat of 2018 ThomasCup QF between INA vs MAS (maybe this is MAS time?), which probably well remembered by Kevin and GohTan show. I dont know if Kevin can be this loud again but its just fun isnt it. Spectators just want to see this excitement.
This is what i thought before the draw is made. Given closely, i'm sure India has chance to upset. They can win both MD. Dhruv and Kapila has improved. I remembered they almost beaten AhsanHendra years back. If only they dont play nervously like they did today. 2nd MS is key imo.
Im hoping for an Indian upset, MD1 can go to IND, MD2 maybe to IND? if they play well, Sameer Verma, should he be MS2 or MS3? Srikanth and BSP have no chance anyway. Sameer can probably beat Gemke or Vittinghus
Who's blaming anybody? Who's judging anybody? If anything I was impressed by Aditi Bhatt. Ofcourse Tasnim and Tanisha Crasto are arguably the best we have amongst the youngsters (are they ready yet?) And I said I didn't follow the qualification. What's difficult to understand is the seniors taking team championships for granted (PV and SN - this has been true in the past and other sports too) Also, where's Asmita, Vaishnavi, Akarshi, few others I can't remember.
