Talking about technique and skill, both players seem to be equal, in other words, if nothing burdens the two players from giving their best abilities, the match will be regarded as the epic clash in badminton history from today and forth.
Speaking about experience, Li Xuerui is unquestionable. Before Ratchanok started to emerge to the surface, she had been in the professional badminton with numerous titles such as All England, India Open, German Open. Li Xuerui is also the defender at this year's Indonesia Open.
However, Ratchanok Intanon who is four years younger than Li Xuerui, in terms of experience she is not less able than her opponent as she also won several titles in prestigious tournaments at her young age, including BWF world champion in three consecutive years. International Olmpic Committee (IOC) even awarded Ratchanok with the "IOC Sport-Inspiring Young People Trophy", in 2010.
So, let's get ready and witness who will triumph when the Olympic champion meets the world champion at Indonesia Open 2014 final.
