Even though Bao YX + Chen QC win today, but really this combo Bao+Chen is more inferior than Tang+Chen. Bao YX lacks of the power smash possessed by Tang YT. After Rio Oly I hope to see some permanency of the combo Tang YT + Chen QC.
I guess somehow the victory of Bao+Chen today is much assisted by the walkover of Matsutomo/Takahashi yesterday... must thank to the Japanese pair for the freeway
Okay congratulations to BaoYixin / Chen Qingchen for playing so well to win the game today. I am very impressed with Chen Qingchen. 2 finals for her today. She is so talented. I hope she can also win her XD match later.
they got aeroplanes for winning. Chen Qingchen played well, you can see she handle herself more mature than Bao yixin although she is younger. bao yixin needs to improve her fitness.
So the Chinese squad are guaranteed to achieve "the target" here, at least bagging two titles, something that they'd missed earlier in INA Open SSP.
Aussie umpire is very annoying. It is one thing to speed up the game. It is another to be ridiculous about it. Saying i will not allow a shuttle change when the shuttle had broken feathers and say flippantly, "I don't care," is simply annoying and unprofessional. Chen Qing Chen is impressive. This is the first time I see her play. Now let her win the doubles in doubles.
That's true. I prefer Tang/chen too. But Yixin used to smash harder, prolly needs more time to get used to WD department again.
Going out for lunch now which church members. Yeah Sunday Service is over. So hope I can catch the MS live later
TBH I don't really like Bao YX, many times she just sucks and screws her double matches, either in XD or WD! Something is wrong with her attitude. No problem if it's single, only herself to blame and bear the consequences; but in double she just pulls down her partners... Today she's just lucky to be backed by a very good double partner!
In double cannot blame your partner because it's teamwork. when there's arguing means time to break the partnerships. I don't mean to praise CQC but I seldom see her blame her partner which is a good thing.
