more reflex, more power. more endurance. better mentality as well. 

I am not sure about endurance. He looked tired as well. He made better judgement in the key moments.

[putrevus]

His lack of conditioning to play attacking game has been exposed.If this guy is the best we got then Indian badminton needs to grow up a lot.

Sad way t end the campaign. So much potential but lacking that killer instinct. Story of most of our sports actually.

 

He is young. He will come around. Not everyone has that  inborn killer instinct regardless of ability. But killer instinct alone is not enough. You have to match the opponent skill set as well. 

[rollingstoned]

That was a beatdown in the last game. 

Lakshya loses steam as the game goes on , not sure if it's an injury, mentality or fitness. 

[Lone Wolf]

Game over... Just not good enough

Mark Taylor commenting on diving 

 

I was like I have heard that voice before.

[Ultimate_Game]

Chalo one more 4th place finish 

 

We would definitely be the leading contenders for Copper medal

True. Malaysian player got stronger as the match went on and by the end he was so much better than Lakshya. Better player won and deserved the medal.

I don't think it is something to do with fitness. He was moving alright. Just that decision making was poor. Decision making is very very vital in badminton. Putting th eball in uncomfortable area of opponent. But he fed it to his strength in the 2nd and 3rd set. That is where he lost.
