In his first four tournaments of the year, he crashed out in the opening rounds of three, and in the second round of one. What mystifies him is that he has been unable to translate his form in training to competition.
“I’m trying my best, but my results are not going according to the work I’ve put in,” said the world No.9, after entering the quarterfinals of the YONEX All England 2024. “It’s very different from how I perform in my training. But this is badminton. Men’s singles is very difficult, and the competition is very tough.
“My form was not bad until the World Tour Finals, but this year, going by my results, it has been disappointing. But if we look at progress in level of play, I think I have improved. I keep trying my best in every tournament. In training everything is very good, and I’m not making mistakes.”
