Wow - I haven’t seen CTC play this good for a while. He gave Axelsen nothing cheap and his defence was really strong.
Eating humble pie here, i always felt CTC was overrated, a one trick pony, lacking racket skills required at the top level and tactical know how or another gear in the heat of battle, but fair do’s to him he played really well today.
@@Mulknwan ctc lacking racket skills?
wtf u saying, ctc is old to compete with axelsen, he need more rest to perform good performance
@@emersonlee9968 Yes, he lacks the variety or deception in his kit bag, although he’s hit a purple patch in the last couple of tournaments,
especially at the net, his game is very one dimensional and power based.
As for his age, it’s got nothing to do with his underachievement, the CTC of 2023 is no different to a younger 2015 CTC,
although Victoria is doing a good job cheerleading from the sidelines, I feel he could do with a good coach presence in his corner,
he doesn’t seem to have the ability to problem solve, he is clueless,great players like Chen Long and G.O.A.T Lin Dan have the ability to work things out and change things during the game albeit with the help of coach during and game changeover, don’t get me wrong CTC is still a very good player, just not crème de la crème.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
When Chou won the first set and I saw there was only 20 min left I knew something big happened
Not so big, he is gone now, he won't have the mental strength to cope with defeats, as in the past. Signs were evident when he nearly lost to Popov a few weeks ago and broke a racket in anger. He had a good run, now it's over.
@@2malachi bro wtf😂, man's the most negative person on earth lmao
@@simtan2418it's not being negative but unfortunately it is a fact he had a good run but it's over
@@simtan2418 fr fr lmfaooo💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@Corrupted_Gamez ；lee zii jia didn't manage to even get past r16 for the past few tournaments before the all england open, yet he managed to get to the semis in both all england and swiss open, there's always a chance to come back stronger
Chou's coach is everyones dream coach
nerd
CTC's defense was on point this match
It's quite obvious that VA is not at his best. Many errors on attack, and slow responses in defense. However, taking nothing away from Chou. He was brilliant today.
Totally agree with you, VA is slower than normal and making errors he would normally make.
Question is why he was slower. Chou really played unpredictable stuff keeping Axelsen guessing. That may or may not be the full reason
Let this be a lesson to you all: NO ONE beats CTC 17 times in a row!
Haha - very good..
@@JockyT1 Well, one can hope, can't one? Last time someone said "No one beats Tommy Sugiarto 17 times in a row", Lee Chong wei did it and a bit more.
@@badbadrobotrobot959Lee Chong Wei was in Sugiarto’s head permanently🤔
Ikr 😂😂 axelsen has to stop dominating him
i have now seen this match like 5 times and everytime i see this particular message, it cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣
My jaw has dropped... what is this amazing play Chou Tien Chen?
.
Congrats CTC. I wasn't expecting this win
Great defense. Rooting in the final 🏆
To win VA..defense,net play,body smashing
Not surprised CTC could win this match if you watched his previous match. He’s in superb form. Hope he can keep it up! He moves so effortlessly around the court. He never looks like he’s in a rush.
Congratulations, CTC! Chou’s touch to shuttle looks very softy with relaxing when he receives smash. And footwork is very smooth and receiving net shot earlier.
Chou was composed, confident, and relax. An easy win, maybe not and both had given the best. VA was a bit frustrating throughout the whole game, otherwise it could be a good fight. Hats off to Chou, he came with determination 👍
Both semifinal matches were quite unexpected, not gonna lie
Actually I'm wondering, is there a possibility that wind is the cause? Both Axelsen and Lee Zii Jia played on the same side for both 1st and second game, their mistakes are similar too especially going wide. But I can't explain why their opponents didn't have this issue hahahaha
@@user-it5zx4kj4m adjusting to drift is also part of a player's skill. Hans-Kristian and Anders Antonson said on their podcast that players like Lin Dan rarely struggle to find the line throughout a whole game.
@@user-it5zx4kj4mbro Lee was injured! Such an unprofessional comment
@@shadyvoid6731 Where? Did he mention about this?
@@user-it5zx4kj4m bro in r32 he was so tired playing li Shi Feng, and in r 32 got injured against Nguyen
WOOHOO congrats CTC!!
Congrats to CTC for this win. Good luck tomorrow for the title.
CTC net play is solid most of the net battles in this match CTC wins either by setting up a smash/overhead or by outplaying VA straight up at the net
CTC gave a masterclass by exploiting every weakness of Axelsen.
Dont understand the comments- if ctc is still playing this well at 33, then va has plenty of time to get back on top.
Considering head to head 16-2 in favour of Ax. and also that the lenght of the video is only 40 minutes (not enought for a three game match) I honeslty thought that it's going to be a CTC demolition by Ax.
Quite surprising, congrats CTC.
Same haha you don't imagine my surprise when I saw Chou winning the first set
.
I was expecting CTC to be demolished in the 2nd game. He is a 3 game player 😅
Viktor lost his confidence about a month ago, and it's been all downhill since then. He won't get it back, too old now.
@@2malachi you need to stop telling these bedtime stories
@@soulight8205 I was starting to get hints when I saw how confident CTC was during the game. Commentator said the right line - CTC performed a game of a lifetime.
what a fking monster. absolutely impeccable performance from chou. i mean once you saw that 360 spin defence, you'd know nothing was going to stop him today, my lord.
man CTC did really good this time
24:29 fav shot
41:22 even CTC's coach want to smash to Axelson
CTC amazing performance, solid defence made Axelsen take extra risk which didn’t pay off
A victory against Viktor, in Switzerland? Not bad for Chou Tien Chen. 👌
CTC one jump smash very cool and powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like it
Chou’s playing like a completely different player today
Everybody has a bad day but today CTC was absolutely unbelievable in this match. Well done.
these are the most beautiful raw smashes i have ever seen, i think i know who my favourite player is
Wohoo! Taiwan nr1! Great job!
Taiwan Num 1!
Crazy win!!!!!!😮
What happened at 8:40 - in the middle of a focused rally suddenly a voice in the micro : should not be allowed!
CTC looking smooth and playful at the net in this match, he got a nice read on Axelsen attacks but was also able to smash with good accuracy.
Axelsen looking a bit sluggish, usually his defense is very good to cover the body shots but today the reaction time was off.
Wow CTC, it's incredible👌🤩🤩
35:15 god what a save
Chou winning in 2 sets, and vs Viktor.
?! What year is it? Jokes aside, I really hope CTC with this title.
Trận đấu tuyệt vời của Chou Tien Chen.
Chou tien Chen!!!!!!!
希望周天成可以奪冠！
Congrats to Chou Tien Chen, he was superb today. I don't know what's happening with Victor, having lost in the 2nd round of last week's big tournament against Ng Tze Yong who ranked 25 places below him and now losing by a big margin in the semi-final in two straight games.
CTC did really well, congrats
CTC played incredibly well but also I think Axelsen has some kind of injury, his movement looks very different from usual it seems he's trying to avoid using one of his legs.
Viktor played LCW and CL after their peaks, as their careers were winding down - So it's not correct to say that they were at their peak. Although they never played Viktor 2022, they still played Viktor 2016/17 which isn't that far off. Viktor 2022 would still regularly lose 80% of the time against 2007-2013 LCW and 2010-2015 CL.
What's happening with Axelsen is he injured? suddenly not playing well that's 2 tournaments in a row losing bad. Chou played well.
Everyone reaches a point where things start not coming so easily. It's a bit worrying I hope he will still be able to piece together some championship wins but last few weeks, he wasn't the same Viktor we all know.
Axelsen did great, put up a good fight. He is indeed in the great condition, but CTC's defense is just top notch in this match. What a great performance from both player. 👏
Well played Chou Tien Chen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW monster tumbang,mantap ctc
Hoping Viktor bounces back, because without him at the top, no one else seems consistent.
Wow CHOUTC amazing!!!
チョウさん今年33歳！まだまだたくさん試合見せてください☺️フレンチオープン優勝からファンです☺️
You probably could´ve placed Chou against a men´s double pair and he still would´ve won, literally everything worked out perfectly that day for him.
CTC! let's go CTC let's go
Odlična igra. Užitek ob gledanju motijo samo navijači, ki so za ta šport po moje preglasni......
Congrats to Chou
coach, physical, biggest fan lol
While watching this game, Victor did not know he was going to loose.
WOW
CTC winning if not shouting :D
C. T. C. Is the best this year 😊
bro axelsen got sweeped
8:40.. announcer randomly starts talking in the middle of a rally.. instantly axelsen loses focus lol.. u can see how unhappy he was with the distraction
CTC宝刀未老啊❤
Darn, Victor was taking shots a little too late, like 1/2 step behind. Looks to be nursing a back injury
There's a saying, you can't be always number 1. We can already see that Axelsen already slowing down like Momota but they can still manage to go back on track. Congratulations to Chou Tien Chen❤
CTC looks very attractive!
周天成勁到癲左
The Taiwanese player plays great! 👍
Congratulations my baby boy 😘
I can see chou playing very confidently hopefully chou can play consistently and
Yea❤
36:51 CTC look at shuttle always
35:12 cartwheel wtf CTC 😹
There 's something wrong with Axelsen. He was defeated in two consecutive matches, All England and Swiss Open tournament. Man proposes, God disposes !
Chou didn’t seem very happy about it :(
CTC knew he had to sell his soul to the devil to get his win against VA, so not much to celebrate. (Just kidding, CTC played calm cool and collected today, all credit to him).
@@sedriczhiggory
He is a Christian
So what you said here is not true
I guess nothing lasts forever. Axelsen had a good run lol.
lets hope Chou wins the final, Cheers!
小天开启了God mode一样。。。
The reason CTC won the match is the follow up of smash which axelsen didnt do in this game.
chúc mừng đã thắng nhà vô địch
V.Axelson was not him yesterday semifinals..he was already defeated in 1st half.
Too eager,aging, body energy, key factors to lose
Good job chou tien chen
How CTL defeat ASen ... that's great
小周这个球可以的，有进一步提升的能力。看好他。
take some time off viktor, regroup, relax and come back stronger!
Axelsen seemed too hyped up? Too much adrenaline? Too much coffee? But Chou also played quite well!
Chou Tien Chen playing Lin Dan style. He is playing slowly and deceptively.
come back stronger Axelson!
either ctc is in really good form or axelsen is getting old. hes same age as me now and i feel hella old and stiff.
舒服啊
commentators should learn to pronounce names correctly
Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan. 🙂
23:07 was this necessary ☠️
Chou’s training with Viktor in Dubai really paid off. He exploited his practice partner really well. The same for Loh Kean Yew in the recent 1.5 years. Congrats Chou
What is going on?? And another one bites the dust! What price Chou & Watanabe to make the final at the start of the week? - you'd need a crystal ball! 🤔😲
LZJ is Malaysian, so any result is possible. Money talks.
哇！屠龙刀快！
Axelsen time is up 😊
Viktor is gone now, he won't have the mental strength to cope with defeats as in the past. Others can read his play (too predictable). Signs were evident when he nearly lost to Popov a few weeks ago and broke a racket in anger. He had a good run, now it's over, he is no longer invincible. But congratulations on a superb career.
Bro what? He's a human!? Even Lin dan and lee chong wei lost in their carrer. Idk what you are on, but you have to see that number 1 players is humans and not robots
@@Hugo-lq4it He is not the same as Lin Dan and LCW. He has a mental problem. He conquered it when he was winning, now he's not. You'll see.
@@Hugo-lq4it Idiots are always quick to write off people. They project their own weaknesses on others
Chow Kit Road Kuala Lumpur
Baru lihat viktor bisa dikalahkan
What happen about victor ?
