Thomas and Uber cup 2022

Congratulations to Korean Women and India mens team for winning the famous trophy. This is the first for India and they demolished Indonesia 3-0. Korea did well to upset China. No one knows what the Chinese WZY did to win ABC and then lost to an unknown Korean player in 3WS. Complacent maybe?

Some worth mentioned moments.

For Malaysian Uber team, they lost to Denmark narrowly. They should have put in the veterans like LPJ and Shevon Lai for 2nd doubles. Malaysia could have qualified for quarter finals. 

For Malaysia TC team, the coaches gambled on 1st double to beat India, its a mistake because they did not do their homework to check the head to head record. Another messed up opportunity. No one in the Management team takes responsibility. Points fingers at each other.

For Japan TC team, someone needs to fix Momota, his form is horrendous. He needs a new coach to change his style of play. Too defensive. 1MD also disappoints.

Lakshya Sen did well to win the 1st match against Indonesia to get the ball rolling. Confidence builds up. Gintin should have close the match in 2 games. As for Indonesia, they also did a mistake to have Ahsan and Kevin to play 1st MD. It backfired.

For Denmark vs India, Gemke must be dreaming. Same goes to Antonsen. These 2 guys did not show up.

Japan Uber was disappointing as well against Korea. No one showed up.

Lastly for Singapore. They have good young singles player but unfortunately there is no focus on them. Too bad. Singapore will live with 1 single player at the moment. Need someone to kick butts in SBA.

The year of the underdogs. Good for badminton.

Badminton Asia Championship 2022

Well done to the winners. A good win for Lee Zii Jia over Jojo after turning pro. Indonesia young MD team did very well. Malaysia top MD still soul searching for a big win. There is no Japan win this time. Still struggling. 

In WS, Yamaguchi nearly made a comeback after he fall. The young chinese girl Wang Zhi Yi did well to hang on to the win with 21-19 on the third set. 

The draft of the hall and the umpiring is still very lousy. BWF doesn't seems to learn.

At Europe, Viktor did well to beat Antonsen. Stoeva sisters did well. Marin did a good comeback.

Korea Masters 2022

This is a smaller event compared to Korea Open. Well done to the winners. The Kim md pair did well to make a comeback in International tournament. Jeon HJ is a new up coming Korean men singles player.

Korea Open 2022

Well done to the winners. China may have a new Lin Dan. Malaysian xd independent players did well to win it.

Not very significant tournament as there are not many top players in the field. Or that most of them are resting for the Thomas and Uber cup tournaments.

All England 2022

A master class performance from the previous AE winners notably Viktor and Japan Mix doubles.

The surprising win the is the young Indonesian mens doubles pair who beat both their compatriots to win this tournament. Ahsan Hendra and Minions. This will definitely give them the confidence. A big feat to win S1000 series. (Muhammad Shohibul Fikri / Bagas Maulana)

Also congrats to Japan LD Matsuyama/Shida to win it. A big surprise since all the seeds went crashing out.

Yamaguchi is simply solid and consistent disposing Chen the OG gold medalist in Semis. Untouchables.

Yuta/Higa XD is just simply awesome.

Viktor was serious about the S1000 with big money. It is understandable that he will lose to his own training mates in small tournaments or no money tournaments just to boost their confidence. Notably, Loh Kean Yew and Lakshya Sen. Brian Yang next?? LZJ and AA got caught by Sen. I think they will wake up in the next meet up. Just like LKY.

See notes here on how to beat top players. Click me. The aim is to let them know of their weaknesses and inspires them to be the best. Do share it.

German Open 2022

Well done to Vitid from Thailand for winning German Open 2022. He did well to beat LZJ even though this is a warmup tournament to All England. He beat Sen in final (both are 20 years old in 2022). Vitid is a 3 times world junior champion. Another force to be reckon with in the future. Taking over from the famous Boonsak perhaps? He played until having a blistered toe. Welcome to the game of badminton. Most players including me had this before. lol

We as fans waiting for the likes of LKY, Vitid and Sen to win a S1000 tournament.

Indian Open 2022

Congratulations to Lakshya Sen for winning Indian Open 2022. Laden with covid pull outs. This is a dark horse. Hope he can keep it up. He beat the world champion loh kean yew in the final. Hope its not a buddy thingy to let him win. These 2 guys including Brian Yang trained at Viktor academy. haha.

Q. How do you beat Lakshya Sen. I want you to publish it because his fans especially the Indians are so fanatic about him talking nonsense in badminton forums. The EGO they have makes you want to puke. So many of them are double headed snake head. They always think they are the best. Making fun of Pakistan people. Which is crappy. I just hates indians for taking away so many IT jobs with lower pay than the locals, I stay in Australia and see so many of them. I wish they will go back to India where they belong. Job stealers or hijackers. Recently, India also doesn't support to stop Russia from killing innocent children. How barbaric they are. They just can't get their heads right. Even in crickets, they think they are the best as well. Bummer.
A. Sorry to hear that mate and I stay in Singapore. I can see that, and I understand your feelings. Well I am not discriminatory or into Politics.
Lakshya is improving and has not won any major yet as of March 2022. Am talking about either S1000 or WC or OG. Maybe he will someday if he works hard enough am sure.

So, in order to beat Lakshya, you need to see the video which Viktor beat him in the AE 2022 final. Firstly, Sen is a defensive and stroke player. He hardly have any strong smashes. He is good in his drives, so avoid playing drive or parallel shots with him or giving him dangling shots to kill you. Most short players are good at this. His reflex is good meaning you cannot try to push fast shots to him, he is ready for you due to the fact that he is defensive. He is good in netting also, you need to push him to the back. Be patient.

He is fit. So, for all players who wants to beat him, you just need to grind him out to play simple shots to the 4 corners. You cannot afford to smash or drive him blindly. You will kill yourself making mistakes and giving him free points. Just do the normal strokes and kill when opportunity comes. Do not rush or slack playing him. This means you need to have a game or point plans to know when you are about to kill and ready for his returns immediately. You notice a lot of players lost to him because they rushed and this causes them to make unnecessary mistakes. If you are below 30 years old, you should be able to match his fitness to play safe shots. Don't get sucked in and over do the killing to tire yourself or make a fool of your self just like LKY (India open 2022), Antonsen and LZJ in AE2022. I am sure they learnt from this lost since they got stung before. Be a smart player. Viktor learnt it quickly after loosing to him in German Open. Or perhaps Viktor already knows how to handle him and not keen in small money German Open; thats why Viktor purposely lose to him to boost his confidence. Remember that Vitid beaten him in German Open final in 2022.
