The Men's World number 1 is South Korean Son Wan Ho.He is number 1 because he plays more Tournaments whereas Guys the main Guys in Men's game are still Lee Chong Wei,Lin Dan,Chen Long,Victor Axelsen and I'll put Kidambi Srikanth in this Bracket.
Son Wan Ho is a decent player but on Merit he doesn't deserve to be The no. 1.His No. 1 is like how Caroline Wozniacki became no. 1 in the World despite the presence of likes of Serena Williams.It was because of likes of Serena don't play all Tournaments and just focus on Grand Slams.
Kidambi Srikanth beats Chinese Shi Yuqi(World Number 4) in straight games 21-10,21-14 to enter the Finals of Australian Open Super Series.
With this Win,Kidambi Srikanth Becomes only the 5th Man ever to reach the Finals of 3 consecutive/back to back Super Series Events.
He reached the Finals of Singapore,Indonesian and Now Australian Open.
Super Series Events are the Top Most Rated Events in terms of both Difficulty and Prize Money.
This is an AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT BY HIM AS HE HAS REACHED 3 CONSECUTIVE FINALS OF THESE EVENTS AND OF WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED IN HIS GAME, HE IS SURELY ON HIS WAY TO BECOMING WORLD NO.1 AND PROBABLY A MEDAL PROSPECT AT TOKYO 2020 PROVIDED HE STAYS FIT.HE HAS THE GAME AND I FEEL HE IS READY TO START WINNING MEDALS AT MAJOR EVENTS.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN AUGUST WOULD BE A GREAT TESTING POINT FOR HIM AS TO HOW FAR HE HAS REACHED.LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
What ever be the reason , its not good sign to loss against minnows malasia in two consecutive tournaments. Huge win against pakistan will not compensate this defeats. And I hope kidambi can bring us a medal in next olympics.
As far as I see,we have had one bad match in both Azlan Shah and this Tournament so far which has ultimately resulted in us not finishing in the desired position.
As far as I see,we have conceeded goals due to poor (individual Defensive skills) like poor trapping ,poor tackling skills inside the Box.Our Defensive Structure has been okay.
Our Forward line is World class,we need to work on our Midfield , Defence and Penalty Corner(Attacking and DEFENDING)
I hope that all these loopholes will be covered when our Injured or rested players are back,but still Our Trapping and Tackling Skills along with Recovery Speed has to improve specially inside our Box.
Also,Team Selection has to improve too.
We are a side on the up and we can/should make our Presence felt by Winning Medals at Major Tournaments Consistently.
