this game is FULL of clears and dropshots and cross court clears and cross court dropshots!! hahahaha....still a great match though...got a few long rallies and incredible cross court drop shorts
Hmmm..looks like no rematch of the Malaysian Open MD Final.. ..(just finished reading all the posts).. Congrats to all the winners who have and who will advance to the Finals... .(i haven't seen the match & wished if i watched it) but Candra has been/is the weakest of the pair..Age is definitely a factor for the 2 veterans..i think with the last couple of results, they've shown Fu&Cai's familiarity playing against Tony&Candra..Their record playing against the 2 veterans are now 2-2, w/the last 2 coming for Fu&Cai's side, with both of them winning in 3 close sets..Whilst Tony&Candra's victories have come by straight sets. Anyways, the veterans will have another chance next week @ the Swiss Open & congrats to Fu&Cai! Tomorrow's MD Final should be one entertaining one as well...Hard to predict, but my gut feeling says Fu&Cai will prevail in a very close affair..If not, then get those hair shavers, clippers and scissors ready..because someone is going.......bald..hehe
match point for ZN, after PH could not use 2 match points... Great rally... AND: 22-22 EDIT: ZN LOST! 22-24
and PI Hongyan converts the 4th matchpoint..great match overall... the 1st time Pi's won over ZN in their last 11 meetiingss... good job Pi... at least there wont be an all-china final in WS
Such a high quality match, Pi deserved the win. Hope Pi get plenty of rest and ready for another queen of badminton, Xie Xingfang!
yes, seconded that. Btw, Pi won on ZN unforced errors. Anyway, credit to Pi. And interesting final awaiting us tomorrow, Pi vs XXF in ws, Donna/Anthony vs ZB/GL in xd...
huhhhhh not a good day for me and chinese squads.Almost all of my fave players failed to make it to the final.BCL,ZHANG NING,XIE ZB/ZHANG YW,GAO LING/HUANG SUI :crying: :crying: :crying:
In terms of technique, Zhang Ning is the best among all but is aging, you can tell she made lots of errors when the rally got longer. Credit to Pi able to sustain the rally but Pi does need to improve the net play and attacking as no one can sustain this type of match for 2 consecutive days(SF and Final), XXF should have an relatively easy match tomorrow. Pi should try some "Zinxing" today
