2011 HK Open picture thread

You only get total commitment from Howard Bach

And a little bit more sometimes (from 16-8 up in the 3rd one moment and only 18-17 the next). Tony G was magnificent .

Just noticed that the Koreans have become purple people. Is this the first time they are in such an outfit? It looks nice though.

[demolidor]

They have had purple before, most recently that winged design . More interestingly they seemed to have these in pink yesterday (men as well) ...

[phil-mm]

Pink!? But I still prefer pink to yellow that so many countries have chosen.

[jyeung]

It's so dark no one will notice anyway.

I'm sure it would take them no time to notice, since only a white lens on a monopod would work from up there!

Not that long ago you know (but many designs ago nevertheless)

Gosh, so technical. It's no wonder mine photos didn't turn out nicely.

Lol, first time seeing these metrosexual colours. But they do look good in them.

Hi Cheung,

That means we cannot take photos at the spectator stand?

Now I am not certain of this. I have not really looked around to observe this.

This is an interesting venue because when concerts are held here, we are allowed to take photos.. Does the same apply for this competition? I don't know.

It seems the spectator's stands are further from the courts at the Hong Kong Stadium than previous years' QE Stadium!

Thanks AChan for the photos.

Taller WYH needs to stretch less compared to shorter MM.

The one reason I can think of for the ban is, in venues where photo-taking is allowed, there is always bound to be indiscrimate use of flashes.

I see a Minatsu .
Poon Lok Yan and Tse Ying Suet look REALLY happy.

Not only did they upgrade the stadium, but also the hotel. It was the same too for Macau last year, when both the accomodation and venue were shifted to the Venetian. A lot more expensive to stay.
It shows that we are emerging from the shadows of 2008.

Off course, but the shuttle is a little further away too .
