    I think CBA misunderstood what people were asking them.
    People want them to produce talents like the trio not exact replica of them.

    Hmm looking at tomorrow's final line up..

    XD : Ahmad/Natsir if Ahmad didn't mess up :D
    MS : All TPE affair but Chou Tien Chien should get this.
    WS : ??
    WD : ??
    MD : Ahsan/Setiawan though CHN pair could make it difficult with their power and speed.

    There are more players from JPN than from CHN in the finals of the Singapore Open! This has never happened before.

    Why not? She is rather good. At least reads the game better than GC imho.

    She puts it away and finds the holes out there on that one. Big smash!

    not as good as GC. but hope she (and the other guy who cover the lower tier tournaments) improve with time as they cover more tournaments.

    the worst i heard is the guy commentating the Rio Olympics badminton. he even mentioned that Misaki Matsutomo is cute.

    FINAL (01.00pm) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...DEC522-C306-4A2A-9EC1-3C6DA23F4B33&d=20180722

    XD, Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir (INA) v Goh Soon Huat/Shevon Jemie Lai (MAS)
    H-2-H : 0-0 / WR : 1 v 8

    It’s an ideal final based on seeding position, INA versus MAS once again in this category after INA Super 1000 when Ahmad/Natsir downed Chan/Goh couple of weeks ago in Jakarta. Out of semifinal prediction, the Olympic Champion got stiff resistance by debutants Cahyono/Kandow who pressured relentlessly and pushed their illustrious senior into the limit, 26-24 / 21-17. Malaysian number one Goh SH/Shevon Lai power past the off-form Thai duo Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai, 21-18 / 21-16. On paper scenario, the top-seed will bag fourth Singapore Open title after 2011, 2013 and 2014 edition.

    MS, Chou Tien Chen (TPE) v Hsu Jen Hao (TPE)
    H-2-H : 0-1 / WR : 7 v 41

    A golden opportunity for Chou Tien Chen to clinch title, he also made it to final early this year in IND Open Super 500 but lost to Shi Yuqi at that time. Interesting fact that Hsu Jen Hao won the only one previous encounter six years ago in KOR Open. Chou eliminated the sturdy Qiao Bin that lasted in three games, actually both players had equal chance in deciding game but Qiao produced more errors in critical point. Hsu JH won over Nguyen Tien Minh in battle of physical endurance and quite boring match that saw many long rallies involved. In Singapore Open MS champion’s list, many underdogs had celebrated glory here, last year Sai Praneeth toppled more favoured teammate Kidambi Srikanth in final.

    WS, Sayaka Takahashi (JPN) v Gao Fangjie (CHN)
    H-2-H : 0-0 / WR : 18 v 16

    Gao Fangjie who made sensational run in CHN Open end of 2017 then pick her maiden title subsequently in KOR Open GP has no stunning result prior to finale here, only being quarterfinalists in back to back USA & CAN Open. The 19 years old promising star took revenge of Uber Cup defeat over Nitchaon Jindapol, 21-15 / 12-21 / 21-14. Gao also experienced arduous task to beat her teammate Cai Yanyan in quarterfinal. Sayaka Takahashi has decent achievement this season, picked SUI Open and NZL Open title, both tournaments are Super 300 level. The left-hander Takahashi was troubled by China junior Han Yue and had bad start in opening game yesterday before she regained confidence to shift momentum, from 7-13 then 11-16 to close it out 21-18 then more comfortable second game 21-14. It’s not easy to beat Japanese players who’s known have good retrieving skill and fighting spirit.

    WD, Ayako Sakuramoto/Yukiko Takahata (JPN) v Nami Matsuyama/Chiharu Shida (JPN)
    H-2-H : 1-0 / WR : 20 v 74

    As predicted All Japanese final in WD to indicate how strong their superiority lately, Sakuramoto/Takahata show very progressive development in their ten months partnerships, topped podium in SUI, NZL, AUS, CAN and most likely in Lion City this evening. Playing only seven tournaments, their world ranking hangs on #20 and will soar on top 15 soon. They tackle Thailand number one Kititharakul/Prajongjai in two close games, 21-17 / 21-19. Later on the less-experienced young duo Matsuyama/Shida fought hard to overcome German pair Herttrich/Nelte, 21-18 / 17-21 / 21-16 and book first ever final in international tournament.

    MD, Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan (INA) v Ou Xuanyi/Ren Xiangyu (CHN)
    H-2-H : 0-0 / 29 v 60

    Two-time World Champion is clear favourite to reclaim MD crown they won in 2013 edition. Ahsan/Setiawan reunited early this year following PBSI decision who needing the vast experienced pair to strengthen INA squad in Thomas Cup squad. Never drop any game to last round here including how they outmaneuver compatriots Pratama/Saputro in semifinal. Their final hurdle will be Chinese new prospect Ou XY/Ren XY who edged out Han CK/Zhou HD in all Chinese affairs, 21-17 / 26-24. Ou/Ren started their debut in Lingshui CHN Super 100 last April and had captured one title in US Open.

    Difficult job to seek good talent as WS competition is very competitive nowadays.

    That cross court net drop on game point should have been Natsir's and she didn't even go for it.

    Pathetic play by INA signals a great time for Natsir to go into her long overdue retirement...

    Natsir is just smiling when she lost . lol.

    I mean this just makes more of a mockery of Chan/GohLiuYing who only beat them once in 11 meetings.
