Winning consecutive sets VS grinding for third set
Hello all,
Watching the World Badminton Championship had me thinking that most of the matches went into decider third set. Singles / Doubles / Mixed.
Is it due to some strategic gameplan that is getting more popular among the coaches/players?
Is there some science behind it which predicts better outcomes for the person winning the first set?
Or simply that’s how long tournaments are played at professional level. Because as a casual player going into third set creates more panic/confusion
