And there's only one pair in the world who can match them now- the legendary "Fung Wan" pair.

You mean 'Wind Cloud' i.e. Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng? But they are at the tail end of their career, esp with Cai's age - that's the concern. That's why I think for the moment, this KOR pair LYD/KSH is the most promising while CHN continues to experiment with their new pairings in the hope of finding the right combination.

ZYL dashed out to get a racket for ZN. she got 2 rackets in her hand before she handed one to ZN. and then ZN failed to throw the old one out of the court boundary.

I mean today was bad, but as a whole in the tournament, not too bad I suppose.

Xu chen smashed 282 kmh..

**Tactim** · 01-13-2013, 02:00 AM

oh my god I just witnessed the weirdest scene ever. Anyone else see that? ZYL went off curt to grab a racket for ZN whose strings were broken haha

Yep.. i witnessed. Wonderful change over . But they lost that point.. Disappointing.

**Tactim** · 01-13-2013, 02:02 AM

Xu Chen now up to 285 kph, and these are slow shuttles as well!

But SJH has been steady if not spectacular with her ranking position. This win may do her confidence a world of good, and with her improved strength and net-play she can make it to the top 5. And remain there for a long while, as she's only 21 years yet...

This doubles match is esp entertaining with those funny,weird unusual things happening; really liven up the atmosphere for an All-CHN affair.

**Tactim** · 01-13-2013, 02:05 AM

I must say this is the best xu/ma have played against ZN/ZYL in awhile. 18-12 to them

I am waiting for men's singles match... This match is so predictive..

**scorpion1** · 01-13-2013, 02:13 AM

Am i seeing the new Ma Jin now.. She seems to be moving even assisting the Xu chen. One of the feather gone to Xu chen's eyes..

Yeah, that's them alright. And they might be at the tail-end of their careers, but I believe that they will soldier on for another 3-4 years... possibly retiring after the Olympics 2016.

**Tactim** · 01-13-2013, 02:13 AM

Gill and Danish commentator are egging xu Chen in to hit 300kph haha.On another note, this match hasn't been predictive as xu/ma are looking the solid pair right now
