2022 SATHIO GROUP Australian Open (November 15-20)

The female commentator just talks too much, mumbles for at least 5 sentences in a row. She needs to give viewer some time to breathe in the game.
 
Took absent from BWF World Tour in Europe, An SY returns to the court to clinch third title of this year, pump ups spirit to swing in full gear for The Finals. The Korean star only was slightly troubled in opening game to respond Tunjung superb net shot and excellent placement but inaccuracy and endurance problem that unveiled in long rallies has detained the Indonesian to balance An footwork and agility in second, concludes the tie quickly, shortest duration in final day.

The weary-looked Shi YQ puts a touch of drama in all Chinese affairs to drag final duel into more interesting atmosphere then exploits his true color, stamps authority to trounce Lu GZ. Quite weird to notice Lu displays lousy and degraded performance drastically in deciding game, being vulnerable and produced elementary mistakes simultaneously after delivered very good fight and resilience in first two sets that forced Shi thought hard to conjure some deceptive shots. Well, 7,000 point to pocket for China hotshot to close 2022 on positive note though it's still long to go to climb on top-10 world ranking.

All Korean finals, rarity for mixed doubles department when the Chinese representative miss final show, end of journey for Feng/Huang combination as the Olympic Champion will reunite with original partner in World Tour Finals next month. A much needed point for Seo/Chae to improve their plummeted world ranking which slides into #22, they conclude the opener in so close scoreline. Huang DP made plenty of unforced errors after mid game interval of second game while the tall Feng YZ was unable to cover his older partner.

Hylo Open victory isn't a fluke for Aimsaard sisters, at least they defend positive trend to book another S300 tour final, the Thai young pairs indicated noteworthy development in this year to pick IND Open S500 title ,VIE Open, an interesting landscape to invigorate women's doubles competition. Zhang/Zheng cement their status as China second best combination, the reshuffle seemingly succeed so far as China heavily relying on Chen/Jia.

Stamina has a limit, it's applied to Han Yue who began to show accumulated fatigue sign after played non stop tournament since DEN Open, she did relentless tiring long rallies that drained energy, the inaccuracy crept in then defense shot found deadlock. Grego has decent technical skill, thanks to her persistence and elementary mistakes reduction in this match to play her game into right direction and navigates complicated placement that need extra effort to reach out. Her footwork and resilience will get ardous test in first S300 final, An SY has the antithesis style of play, meticulous and tidy player, the Korean hot fave eliminates Chochuwong comfortably.

A seesaw 85 minutes semifinal battle yet hard luck for Naraoka to rewrite DEN Open final four narrow defeat once again, Shi YQ didn't direct efficient game rather than running laborious rally to build up attacking game and earn point mostly through his signature cross-court smash. He found challenging situation to seek the Japanese rising star negligence who exhibits some magnificent unexpected defense shots that surprised Shi occasionally. Focus and composure are the key factor in crucial and decisive moment as the match went down to the wire in deciding game, the more experienced former All England champion won the thrilling tie. Lu GZ speed and agility vanquishes Ng TY straightforwardly and reach S300 final, the last time was four years ago at same venue, a moral booster for Lu towards Bangkok Finals. All Chinese affairs in this quiet week, the indicator was on on when Lu toppled the top-seed in last sixteen.

Current China #1 MD combination, Liu/Ou through to final, they're quite off the radar since clinched INA Open S1000 in June. Two balanced last four contests present the winners and losing semifinalist only separated by thin line. Ong/Teo strike back after drop first set easily then started to regroup in next process. the passionate Malaysians have higher motivation to enjoy high intensity match particularly late part of final game to touch down finish line.

Watched the highlights of MD final and ONG has a terrible serve!
At one point Ong was serving his terrible poor short serve, and the Chinese opponent pounced on it and the shuttle hit his face.
It seems that many Pro players can't do back hand short serve. I can name some top doubles players who have terrible short serve, some can't even do short serve, always flicking!

Haha... I'm sure he can serve perfectly all the time during practice, but when faced against an aggressive opponent, some players fall apart completely.

I recall watching a video interview of hers after the OG win, she explained that having the covid delay of OG by 1 year gave her extra time to correct and practice her serves, which she knew was her most significant liability. And during the OG her serve was actually quite good!
