Defeating World No 3 Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri (FiFa) of Indonesia, the Indians put up a show in fast, furious badminton to win the Super 750 Singapore Open. “We didn’t have good memories of Singapore because we used to lose early. But thanks to the crowd which has been passionate from the first round,” Satwik would say immediately after the win that ended a long title drought. The racquet twirling dance of Satwik and a half bhangra of Chirag were back, a throwback to the times when winning a title didn’t use to be such a struggle. Their loss at Thailand had made fans with short memories wonder if they had lost touch with how to climb the top podium. But Singapore Sunday was yet another example of …

Tactical discipline was one of the major things missing as Ayush Shetty went down 21-8, 21-10 to Shi Yuqi, according to the Indian’s coach at Bangalore’s Centre of Excellence, Vimal Kumar. While Shi Yuqi ended up being a formidable opponent and was always expected to be so, Ayush had much to learn on cutting down on errors in big ticket finals, the coach added. “Ayush came up against a top-quality opponent today in Shi Yuqi, and the match clearly showed the difference that experience, control, and tactical discipline can make at the highest level,” Vimal stated. The Chinese plan had always been to starve Ayush of the opportunity to unleash his smashes – cut the power source, so to say. “Shi looked extremely well-prepared from the outset. He controlled the tempo brilliantly, denying Ayush the rhythm he usually thrives on. By keeping the shuttle slightly off the ideal hitting zone, he prevented Ayush from unleashing his steep attacking smashes and sharp net tumbles,” Vimal added. “That was a key tactical ploy, executed with great precision.” …
