XP would be a dream matchup for Felix - it is too difficult to pivot against the RPB sidespin and XP's BH is not at the same level as the rest of the CNT. So Felix can just force the BH-BH rallies and win there.

WCQ is a different kettle of fish because he is a lefty, the natural RPB sidespin unfortunately curves into the very strong lefty FH. Felix would have to come up with something really special to win imo.

I hope the final is going to be decided in 7 games. Felix's thirst for a title and Wang's skills will make this an epic match.
Very unlikely. If Felix has advantages first, he might win in 4-0 or 4-1, but if he can't take the upper hand in first two or three sets, very likely he will lose badly to Wang, just like Harimoto did.

MS SF
Lebrun (7) 4-2 LSD (2) (5, -7, -6, 9, 6, 6)
LSD missing the FH on Lebrun's loose receive at 8:9 of G5 and the lob in G6 cost him the final game (still a toss-up if it came to that). Lost his cool and wanted to kill the point.

MS SF
WCQ (1) 4-3 XP (9) (-9, -6, 8, -8, 3, 8, 9)

歆歆 向鵬很拼 別說人家演😅
mai ngọc he wastes too much energy for the final tonight, lets see how he will handle Felix

cngcoins 向鹏明显让球
May Lai 年青球員還是心態不穩,小布一樣。
ANEX 王楚钦 ,还是实力不行啊,
Justin Yoeh 向最聰明!與其現在贏不如晚上輸!受傷成本最低!
Phạm Mỹ Linh 中国人有问题吗运动员努力就否认他。连国际粉丝都理解有多么激烈。你们好打试试。
SuSu 打到中间我都一度觉得让盆去拼一拼小布也未尝不可,但上场了王楚钦就不会放弃
Carene Yam 王楚钦兼三项真是累得够呛的,男双混双都拿冠军。
cqi qi 王说得很真诚,他说他纠结了,明显在想放弃还是不放弃,最后还是决定抗下比赛,牛
Justin Yoeh 不可能三個都拿!
Nita Song 王楚欽還是有責任。。。知道要扛菲列克斯,不然不會這麽拼
li 大头最后都没叫暂停,可想内心非常笃定!真棒👏🏻

WCQ is not in a good form today and if he plays against Lebrun the way he played against Xiang Peng, he will definitely lose.
Lebrun is obsessed with winning his first Smash and the fact that he is the outsider, gives him a psychological edge against WCQ who has to defend the title in his home ground.
And I really would hate to see WCQ losing to Lebrun...

It seems like Felix has hardcore mentality. Sometimes he's like "challenge accepted, bring it on" towards the Chinese fans when he celebrates a point.

It looked to me like Felix was just controlling the game to force a mistake from LSD eventually, no risky big winners. Interesting how this will play out against WCQ.

I found WCQ very bleak and uninspired against XP. No pivots, no energy… he needs to bring a better energy for the final otherwise Felix will take it home
I agree, he looks tired, which probably isn't gonna get better after a 7-game match.

LSD hasn't really made any improvements since he jumped onto the scene. He still has relatively weak footwork and FH and is overly reliant on his BH. If he wants to reach greatness he really needs to work on those 2 aspects.

You can be mad without being abusive bud. Huge difference. Let's use another sport as an example. You think fans booing an opposing team in soccer is abusive? Yet it's been done for many, many years. You think pundits who blast players on live TV are abusive?

sOmE pLaYeRs HaVe BaD dAyS. Ok bud like sora hasnt had the tournament of his life so far beating LJK and Franz, but then because he plays WCQ its "not his day." Sora has the talent and skills to beat WCQ, we saw that in Chongqing 2024. To just give up and show no heart is laughable. He has so much talent but always seems to play lazy or bored whenever things dont go his way. Should LJK give up against Hugo in 2021? Chen Yi vs Hayata in US this year?

You always seem to care so much about what I am saying and I'm flattered but really, I don't really care what you think. Name call all you want because that seems to be the only thing that you can do well in life besides spewing out this sOmE pLaYeRs HaVe BaD dAyS nonsense
You are so in denial about your own behavior and hypocrisy that it's absolutely laughable.
You can't discern the difference between criticism and abuse, not because you're stupid but because it suits you and keeps your head in the sand.
But then again you're the kid who was leading the thread on objectifying the female players earlier this year so why would I be surprised.
You are an immature little kid.

And yet QD told WH at WTT CS Macao 2025 that it makes no sense Felix could make it to the top playing like that...
