NG Ka Long Angus (HKG) vs Alex LANIER (FRA) | Korea Open 2024 Badminton

[@Kamikazejets]

When you win and become a champion, all your opponents will analyze your gameplay. Winning is a great achievement, but maintaining consistency is a whole different challenge. Alex Lanier is another promising young single player though.

[@nshon7]

Was going to post the same comment. They will have a lot more analysis on his tendencies to go with. That's just the nature of sports at the highest level

[@bluepingu1]

right ..

[@kivenyllow3264]

You are right.

[@calvinbernard]

That's what separated Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, Chen Long from others and made them GOATS. Nobody could beat them for over a decade.

[@mindset1666]

Agree. Anyway he's got great potential And still too young too. Let Winning /losing mold his character & confidence stonger. Keep courageous

[@chaitanyavelamala7268]

[@hktan88]

Angus is smart, he knows at his age, his energy level is not up to the node, he opt to play with drive clear combined with sharp net shot and fast clear out, finally he won the tough games.

[@bathater9697]

Angus, I think is a born Samurai i.e, having martial-arts like speed.

Alex reminds me of Loh Kean Yew, in his ability to move quickly to the net and to intercept shots. He wins his net battles by taking the net shots super early. The type of player who thrives in fast rallies

[@same2799]

Obviously its limited, by that third set his mistakes were all from fatigue of being impatient and body slowing down

[@lasmirandadennsivillia5048]

I dont think he is underrated. People treat him like the upcoming GOAT. I personally think he needs to improve a lot (for example his follow-up and tactical awareness) to make that reality

[@TimChan-fy6wm]

If you observe closely, in Japan Open when Alex won the matches against Shi Yu Qi / lee zii jia, the latter two legend players are well known for explosive smashes, but the shuttle speed was extra-ordinarily slow. Alex took advantage by using his intense muscles (not badminton-impulsive force) . In this game against Ng Ka Long the shuttle is "normal" and Alex's Hulk power has no effect at all!!

[@hemohemu2085]

good ka long angus 👏👏👏

[@BadExperts]

You can definitely see fatigue in Lanier's legs and mind. Not as quick as last week, understandably, plus more mistakes. Ka Long played really smart. Time will only make Lanier more enduring, allowing him to maintain level week after week, even after winning a tournament. Although I believe had he won that match, he would have had the confidence to keep pushing during this tournament.

[@tanyapunyo2074]

people who were saying he's going to beat Viktor Axelsen and be world no.1, where y'all??

[@R.H.Nabam07]

Lanier should not have smash so much because clearly Ka Long show the power in 1st set and so was ready for the smashes whenever he lifted Lanier. Ka Long was standing so behind to cope up with the powerful smash and was ready to place them where lanier who find difficulty to reach!! Lanier should have rather played a slow and rally game making Ka Long move more and then beat him in 3rd set easily. Everyone normally beats Ka Long like that !! Lanier might not have prepared well for Ka Long since he is more experienced and tricky player. Lanier needs to play each player with different approaches because they are all different type of players with different skillset and also weakness !! Ka Long is player with every almost everything above average so he really adapts fast to his opponents gameplay. To win against him is to make him move more and more for each point and then change pace in between the rallies and getting him in net as quick as possible to deflect him more. Almost all top players does this against him. Next time Lanier !! Congrats to Ka Long !!! What a win !!

[@lasmirandadennsivillia5048]

Look at how far back Ng Ka Long stands in 2nd half of 3rd set. While Lanier power smashed all the time (i am surprised by that as his coach told him to play more half paced shots against CTC) with not the strongest follow-up in the world, thaf paid dividence. That and Laniers shaky serves at the end 😂

[@sigitwibowo3113]

Lanier udaj cape itu kemaren habis jadi jauara di japan open ga bakalanlah bisa konssitern kaya l chong wei di korea open

[@thorium222]

I really like Lanier's attacking play and he is really good at it, but in the third set he never played an attacking clear from the back court in a good position. Angus literally only had to cover the front and midcourt from that position.

[@dominiqueposter5249]

Lanier est un très bon joueur mais il faut qu'il apprenne à s'économiser sur le terrain. Il a beaucoup plus couru que son adversaire ! Ses smashs étaient beaucoup moins tranchants qu'au Japan open. Long Angus a marqué pas mal de points durant le dernier set sur retour de smash car Lanier n'avait plus les forces nécessaire pour aller assez vite vers l'avant du terrain.

[@xmax489]

上了年紀,反應也那麼快,真不易

[@hendrakusnadi2791]

Memang ya dalam permainan itu akan selalu ada naik turunnya😅. Baru kemarin di Japan Open Alex muncul sebagai kuda hitam yang tiba² menjuarai turnamen tersebut dan mengalahkan pro player, bahkan SHI yu qi rank 1. Terus di babak 32 besar Korea open, kalah hanya dengan Ng kalong angus, yg ranknya jauh bgt dari pemain sebelumnya yang ia kalahkan😅. Ntah karena stamina Alex menurun atau angusnya juga tiba² jadi kuda hitam sekarang😅. Tapi memang kadang pola permainan lawan itu beda² sih, jadi pola permainan Angus tidak bisa diantisipasi Alex

[@Happy-mb5tp]

我還以為法國人會開啟一段統治者時間...看來是我想太多了...但殺球真的好快阿

[@tslxt]

出名后会被针对，林丹，李宗伟和安赛龙都是一直在换打发，才保持了多年的胜率。以后的路对于Alex还很长，法国在这方面还有很大差距。双打更是法国的短板，都是些单打选手打双打。法国羽毛球体制不适合双打选手培养，所有高水平球员只有单打这一条路可以走。

[@AyushiPanwar-q9m]

Consistency is key to success 😅

[@Carlyuuazhb267]

You can clearly see Lainer still needs to improve "smash&recover". His smash is good yes but if the opponent has a good defense and change the direction, he did not catch those shots for many points. And the accuracy here is much worse than Japan open, consistency is also important. Right now I only see power and speed, if you wanna be GOAT, you need to play with intel also, adapt the game based on an opponent. Long way to go tho.

[@boenboensukseselalu9462]

[@tuanpham-pg4wc]

[@xxWidex]

Alex has great pace and consistency, but mental is slightly weaker than Ng. He basically gave 2 free points near the end with bad serve. Ng played middle tempo, but with incredible patience and placement.

So, what are you anyway? 😅

[@roobilyne603]

Welp, i for one, emphasize more on how he won or lost, rather than focusing purely on the results. He played well, certainly shows his class to be on the top tier. Just a shame that he lost on the first round. But it also happens to other greats, and fatigue might play a part here.. Im still curious tho, gonna keep an eye on him for the next 2-3 open series
