Wow. It is extraordinary? The level of the men's singles competition.

[@rb-ex]

awesome video. intense muscularity and athleticism, with extremely physical style of play. thrilling to watch. you just wanna get out on the court right now. also, the camera angle, mid-body level and sacrificing at least the near corner of the court, is best for filming badminton. you are right in the action, you understand every shot, and you read whole flow of energy. @4:05 check out the footwork going from the back of the court to cross-front and back and front again. the way BWF films it, from high above the court, is like reading a transcript of the match instead of watching it. you lose perspective on the height and even the length of shots, or the effort of moving between the front and rear court. this is like standing courtside and watching your friend play

Aldo's footwork makes him stand out more in the beginning, but it looks way too tiring and in singles being that explosive just doesn't look worth it your opponent will wear you out with their defense.. A few of his shots were really low quality and just speed, his own shots put him under a lot of pressure. 0:57 1:39 this backhand drive of his is not steep enough and the opponent just keeps driving it back down at him. Also, he seems to like getting in to position for his anticipation a lot, creating really huge gaps when his opponent plays another likely shot. I think this is fine, but maybe at the higher level they don't do this because it's really physically draining?

[@puppy2350]

You are right. The main reason it looks and is tiring, is that he is probably nervous and hence setting his rhythm and positioning very frantically to full 100% blast and max pace throughout, which is a sign of either immaturity/inexperience or nervousness. That kind of pace is only really reserved for scramble situations and most importantly, for doubles play. Using a neutral game(meaning neutral shots like mid height clears, center court netshots and drops) and slowing the pace down to catch your breath while also looking to create an opportunity through superior deception is a necessary tactic to manage your stamina/point ratio which is what high level badminton is all about. That was lacking here and both were playing a very honest physical game, albeit a very fine one. I'd say imvho, there's nothing to really criticize here because the level and quality of basics are already very good for a grassroot level badminton tournament. The only real problem was the tactics and higher level thinking that was slightly lacking compared to pros. And even then we are talking about all this in relation to pros which is already a big compliment in and of itself.

So here's my humble analysis of the game. Aldo is generally more explosive and 'smashy'; his playstyle is aggressive and very powerful. He plays extremely good net spins to set up for his smash shots. (it is important to note that his opponent generally lifts straight down the line which helps him quite a bit). His defense is quite good most of the time when it comes to drives and smashes from his opponents. However, he is generally stumped when it comes to footwork. At 3:46 and 4:25 and 4:40, these are rallies that forces him to run cross court from the front to the back and he lost those rallies. It shows that he's standing way too high expecting net shots so cross court shots like that will generally force him into an uncomfortable spot. Kudos to this camera style that shows the match very lively.

Zulfadli more compose, better footwork and better basic stroke. Aldo is explosive in early game but it cost him the late game.

[@vince8843]

He has alot of potential, if he can just play a bit steady but still keep that explosive power

Despite being a very good player and clinical in his execution, he is unable to win points because he is not exploiting enough at the opponents' back hand or hitting too flat making it easy for the opponent.
