2013 SWISS Open GP Gold - Qualification to FINAL (12th - 17th March 2013)

Practically not a single long rally, both going for the jugular.

 

i like that backhand clear from wzm

 

WZM is like a cheetah, prancing and pouncing on the bird.

 

JOJ acts like a child on a tantrum sometimes... He would probably benefit from controlling his emotions a little more.

 

Since when did WZM become such an explosive attacker?!

 

19-11 now to WZM...

 

Such phenomenal speed from WZM,incredible.

 

Since all england

 

XXZ to the rescue I like what I am seeing today

 

8 matchpoints to WZM...

 

21-13 to seal the match for WZM, the last shot was a leaping smash down the line, how fitting.

 

I almost can't believe WZM could do that to JOJ, or for that matter anyone, I mean raining smashes at him at will.

 

I worry for DuPY tomorrow, WZM could 'eat him alive' if he plays the same way he did today.

 

WZM made his name as a smashing machine. He transitioned to a more "matured" style after the 2010 Asia Championship. Check out his semi final against Tago in that tournament to see how the machine used to run.

 

Neither WZM nor DPY has ever won a title in senior tournaments, right?

 

The Smashing Machine? I like that term,esp the way he fires it at breakneck speed and on target time after time, flat-footing his opponent, regardless whether he did it in one shot or two. This is the Wang Zengming I want to see, it's high time he makes his mark to his rightful place at the top.

 

Yes,that's right, tomorrow, either WZM or DuPY will take his first title.

 

Wang Shixian looks lovely in skorts and the way she beats Saina today makes her even more beautiful to watch - psychological effect, I know.

 

I'm still overwhelmed by Wang Zengming's stunning display just now. This is the first time he has such an effect on me. Hope he goes on to realize his true potential henceforth.

 

I noticed WSX's backhand has improved - she can clear from baseline to baseline now.
