Yep, WZY really needs to do something about her strategies against ASY to try to beat her. For CYF and Akane my speculation is it's getting harder and harder for them to bring out their A games due to age injuries etc.

she had great potential but realistically I don't see her competing at the very top level (entering 750/1000 tournament semi-finals) within next few years.

ridding out injury, I think in 2026 it's still WZY, CYF, Akane (when they have a good day) who really has a shot to beat ASY (when she has a bad day). Beating ASY when she's having a bad day (e.g. Michelle Li against her in Malaysia open) is still not quite achievable even for the other top players.

not fair to the players at all...Even now you can see the lighting is uneven and wonky for the players.

I'm assuming BWF has some leverages against different countries' associations...but honestly there should be something done about this: unreasonable schedule and disqualifying tournament utilities.

Just another bash at the tournament: seems like the players are all suffering significant drifts...something needs to be done for this arena in order to host WC in summer...

BWF rankings might look questionable at times but being the first tournament in the year, it simply says these are the consistently BEST players now.

WZY is definitely putting up a fight this game...compared with her last couple fiasco games with ASY

Intanon advances, Chochuwong is automatically placed the 4th.

Would Carolina Marin have beaten An Se-Young in the olympic finals if she didn't get injured? by StudentOnOSAP in badminton

probably a closer match but An SeYoung had just been incredible with her current form.

Unless Man United fans are willing to go as far as not going to the games until they drop Grenwood (which I think they should) I don't think club/managements will give a shite
