Yonex-Sunrise HONG KONG Open 2018 : Qualification-FINAL (13-18 November)

I missed G3, busy with something else, not sure how she recovered to take the lead and then lost the deuce. Can only suspect a lapse of concentration caused by accumulated fatigue from last week.

 

A reversal of fortune in G2 for Saina by the identical score of 21-10

 

VA taking a break citing ankle injury

 

SN trailing AY by 9-10 in the decider.

 

SN looks a bit tired now

 

AY wins the decider 21-19. Well played by both players.

 

Liu cheng are playing well. continuing his good form from fuzhou open.

 

They won convincingly in G2 & G3 . I believe the draw for HK Open is more beneficial for Fuku/Hiro coz the only one I think can beat them is NagaMatsu and they are out now.

 

Wow Liu/Zhang took G1 21-11 that was quick.
Hopefully they can keep it up like this

 

Goh v shem smash aren't as effective as it used to be.

 

Oh LD on court 1! Bad angle??

 

in or out ? zhang nan didn't like the decision.

 

I see Lin Dan is going out of his way again to return the shuttle in the most obnoxious way possible. What a wanker.

 

FukuHiro seems not doing good lately. They lost against the KOR pair last week.

 

Now goh/tan are playing well. what a pity if zhang nan lost this one too.

 

Looked good to me. Too bad no hawk eye on court 2.

Not looking good for Liu/Zhang.

 

I got confused hearing someone talk in bahasa then suddenly remember goh/tan coach are actually indonesian

 

Lin Dan's speed or lack thereof is limiting his shot selection, still he's a blt to make KM run quite a bit. a number of times, I thought he'd smash but chooses not to, esp x-ct for fear of having to cover the long diagonal.

As a result he's lifting too much, often ceding the initiative and letting his opponent attack him instead
