Congratulations to Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan for winning the MD title today, beating Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu very comfortably. It is indeed a long-awaited title for them, having won their last open title in the Malaysia Open GPG 2010. In between, they also reached the Denmark SS 2010 & HKG SS 2010 Finals. Still, it's a bitter-sweet feeling for Hendra Setiawan as he knows that he will not be participating at the London Olympics 2012. Nevertheless, we know that he is still a good player and we await with interest whom he will be paired with. My hunch is probably with Mohd Ahsan.
Second title for China delivered by Luo Twins to defeat TPE experienced pair Cheng/Chin, 12-21 / 21-18 / 21-17.
Yes Congrats to Ying and Yu for winning their first international. They really look alike and I wasn't aware they are twins until now!
I'd suggest both CJ and NTM try to play more tricky shots, introduce a lot more deception than push each other around all over the court to see who blinks first or collapses from exhaustion. So far,seems CJ is trying to play a power game while NTM isn't attacking as much as yesterday against Sho.
Yes, still lots to learn..........especially on how to win crucial points in crucial moment !! Still considered well done from MAS XD !!
A solid win by Chen Jin. Once again,that should silence his critics,winning two titles in a row without any "help" (I knew he could do it). And those brickbats that BCers have been throwing at him lately should also come to a stop.
You could easily google for the players' profile to know everything, fr how old they were trained when they were still Chinese citizens and when they migrated to SIN, and what team they represented previously in China (not necessarily national team, provincial or city teams....), and where their basic skills were trained from childhood.....Anyway, you could say in whatever way u like in this open forum, but comes to facts? Facts are simply facts.... I cannot help if u felt offended by certain facts....
52 minutes for 21-11; 21-12! One can imagine how long the rallies are between these two tenacious players. Chen Jin, however just had the edge to come out on top for most of them.
