2013 Yonex Japan Open SS : Quarterfinals to FINALS (20th-22nd September 2013)

Regardless, it was a close first set. If TTY was that much better, she shouldn't have let it get so close.

 

In the other court, the opponents took the second game against formidable Indonesian MD pair and now forced to rubber game..

 

Chai B's hair is funny.

 

Unbelievable but true.

Japan has shocked the badminton world with two very young women singles finalists who have beaten more established opponents.

And Tago as Japan's first MS finalist here must have made this Japan Open the most memorable to Japanese fans.

So Japan is also working hard to produce good players in both genders to match those from other countries. Congrats to Japan for being able to secure the WS title after such a long time.

 

Actually, it's really cool . I like that style..

 

is it 60s or 70s?

 

At the adjacent court, Kang/Liu took one game off the formidable Ahsan/Setiawan, incredible.

 

i watched liu cheng game in his junior days.
he is good,not sure about kang jun.
to me,liu cheng was the best md china had after chai/zhang.
let see if he can made it in the future

 

I don't know about old styles.. But his hairstyle is similar to mushroom cut which in some way attractive and suitable to certain tall men..

 

Pheww

That was too close

I almost eat my words

The chinese pair did not use the rest they got from the walkover given by their compatriots.

 

A very creditable performance by Kang Jun/Liu Cheng despite the defeat to Ahsan/Setiawan.

 

unconvincing win by ahsan/hendra.

 

Yes...

In this case, fair play trounced dirty tricks

 

uncle loh

beaten tine baun,saina,jiang yan jiao and eriko hirose en route to the title.

 

A narrow escape by Ahsan/Hendra there

 

I do remember that .. Minatsu has beaten Saina in the finals of French open 2012 for winning the title..

 

Why did you conveniently forget to mention that Liu Cheng played XD yesterday? In fact he was playing both MD and XD until yesterday, same for Chai Biao. So typical of you.

 

I just mentioned what really happened yesterday.. Is that walkover happened or not?? So, blaming me does not do anything for the walkovers given by their compatriots.. This Chinese MD could have pulled the match , but they missed it after chasing the total so closely. Really disappointing to me..
