he does apparently. 

I have not seen it yet in the second game. That jump smash was needed in many points but his opponent is hitting those smashes.

Lee is #7, Lakshya is #22. Win will be great.  But not everything is choke.

is it disrespectful if you hit the opponent in the body ? do you have to apologize or?

 

Naah, it's a legitimate tactic. Either you go for the gap or if the opponent is well positioned you aim for the body.

choking from a winning position is choking. he is a choker. you can be lower ranked and still choke. top level mentality is what separates athletes. 

[randomGuy]

Lakshya gets tired after getting those leads.

[Vickydev]

Not the C word guys... The match is still going on

Disappointment yes, Choke no. Unless it's like Sreeja in table tennis. Though she was facing no. 1 player she was leading 10-6 in the first game and 10-5 in the 2nd and needed just 1 point in each to win the game (TT has 11 points in the game unlike 21 in badminton). She proceeded to lose both the games and the match. That is choking as you had multiple opportunities to win but were not able to get past the finishing line.

[putrevus]

He needs to be more attacking just like last two points.
