Zhao Yunlei/Tian Qing don't rely on raw power but pure skills and court sense to win out all their opponents for a well-deserved world title.
The Koreans have three crack MD pairs, it's getting harder to break their growing dominance. To me, it doesn't matter which pair withdrawn for whatever reasons, the remaining pairs are still the ones to beat.
How should I answer your question? To me, only LXR can beat herself. Need I ask your confidence level ?
One yellow card means USD250 penalty on the player/pair. I don't quite understand why umpires should care too much about time-wasting. It's already the final, cut them some slack even for the penultimate or QF stages, I say.
Did not expect KSY/SBC to take the first game, thought LYD/YYS would be the favourites since they are the world no.1s
