How This 19 Year Old From France UPSET The World Number One

[@gr4j0m3r]

I have never seen anyone use a shorter swing like this, the coach who figured it out is a genius. And you give the best analysis I have ever seen.

[@1001001a]

Coach teaches him everynight how to use it

[@Jin-oq2qu]

It is not genius. This may work for a short while but ll be prone to injury, especially when getting older.

[@somnaventu_s2475]

Well, people don’t use it often for a reason. You need to be physical really strong and even that doesn’t prevent possible future injuries

[@sid6645]

Dude is RIPPED. He definitely had more energy than SYQ too, probably why he won. At many points I could tell that SYQ was the superior player in terms of experience and match IQ (especially first set), but lanier just pushed through with high shot speed and insane volume. Great win, he definitely worked really hard for it. Hope he keeps it up when people adapt more to his playstyle and are more rested!

[@justmemes4269]

Bro was world junior number 1 for a long period of time. No wonder he can adapt like this in between the match

[@yeongvoonkang1966]

He must have really strong forearms to hit the shuttlecock with such a small swing but still keeping the shots in fast pace

[@tenhayz1889]

It is strength AND technique. If you squeeze your fingers right as you hit the Shuttle, you can gain a lot of power.

[@1001001a]

Practice makes perfect bro. 2 times every night.

[@benj4840]

Because CTC doesn’t join in on naroakas rhythm instead he would attract etc

[@tenhayz1889]

I think it is because CTC is good at not letting his opponent predict what the next shot is going to be. He can also pin the line with his smashes quite well

And now Axelsen 😎

[@szee6984]

His biggest advantage is his youth. Hope he reach great lengths in his career.

[@Denzelkoh]

AL had advantage of being underestimated by opponents as he is still quite unknown. Now all coaches will break down his game and lo and behold, he lost in next tournament Korean Open. Can he keep improving and beat higher ranked players? You bet. He’s young, keen and fit. The badminton world is blessed to witness a new warrior Brisbane Qld

[@LifesHourglass]

he looks like a Greek God playing badminton

[@Lone0809]

Will it be alright if you can show us the different badminton styles in Men's Singles? It's because if we need to adjust our playstyle we can somewhat know what style to do to win.

[@adeleofficial]

Not to mention he's also for sure being underestimated by his opponents

[@zacharybasil]

[@kadishkrongking3733]

He is a terrific player; he will be formidable play in the future! At least he will win two times world championship and one Olympic! He has confidence and good control of games!

Its not really fare to compare WS and MS ..the competition is very different in bith disciplines..its not like MS doesnt have talented players but its like too many good players in top 20 which is not really like for WS making it more predictable and easy to dominate and the competition only revolves among top 5 in WS and its not the case in MS

Looks more of H S Prannoy style of play.

[@jrdelrey3009]

i also thought that shi yuqi was giving away the attack too much in the third game, he was clearing so often

[@tenhayz1889]

An issue in the first set was that Lanier was playing too much lifts and clears to Shi's backhand side. Shi scored 6 points in the first set with around the head smashes, but Lanier didnt give him nearly as many opportunities in the rest of the match. Also Shi Yu Qi didnt play bad by any means, but he was not stellar either, pretty sure CTC would have won against him

[@labulabi]

Right now to be no one, must fight with Victor Axelsen..very strong minded.insane come back from Victor
