The coach is doing the right thing - Odo's serves are very dodgy, so why is the umpire calling a dodgy serve on Pavade?
It's fine to make a short protest and move on, but the coach called for a referee to do what? He went on and on about it completely disrupting his player's rhythm. It was just a warning, and you could see that Pavade just wanted to move on. But after the incident, Pavade's play just went downhill.
He wasn't going to change the match result. But he and his player would learn something from it. I doubt he would do it again, especially if his player was competitive, but if there was a time to do it, this was it. That aside, we can wait for the imaginary Hawkeye system that will make all this go away...
It was a great, great match.... a real heartbreaker for Adriana. It's high on the list, but there's Hayata playing using an injured arm to secure bronze and Miwa's down from 0-2 comeback to beat SYS to grab team gold for Japan at the Asian Championship something that hasn't happened in 50 years.
There are „lets go Dang Qiu“ chants from the crowd in between every single point
2-2 > 1-0, 2-0 and 6-2 were points of exceptional level.
