Tai TY fails to redeem big blunder last week as she replays frustrating pattern, banking on usual numerous errors that favours to her closest rival, the Taiwanese can't orchestrate the quality shots to disrupt Chen patient rallies. The less error Olympic Champion played faster, dictating the pace, more active to unleash deadly cross court smash frequently that causing Tai has no answer. Chinese favourite will face An SY, remind us of their Uber Cup memorable final encounter which contained dramatic turnaround. An displayed small hiccup during South East Asia tours, being early round casualties in THA Open, INA Masters, MAS Open whilst the Chinese returns to stability mode after honing her skill to play non stop tournaments since GER Open last March. The Korean star solid retrieving skill halts the unseeded Tunjung good run, classic description to see Indonesian hopeful ran out of steam in decider. It will be tough prospect for An based on the stats as she never won over Chen in seven meetings.
A marathon and close duel between Wardoyo and Lu GZ, both player led maximum three points alternately, similar style of play to target net shot then followed up by hard smash. Lu missed golden oppportunity despite has more competing experience than his younger opponent, succumbed to high tension in crucial stages to the ambitious Indonesian. Realistically, Lu has no top 10 material to transfrom into world class player, China should look to other prospects to groom. Playing 88 minutes in semifinal, Wardoyo stamina toughness will be tested by higher-ranked Ng KL who outlasts Prannoy, the Indian tactic couldn't work well in second and third game, lack of patience to rush to attack.
Positive note for Pearly Tan/Thinaah in this tournament, they could be dangerous combination ahead with unconventional WD style of play that usually include boring long rallies. Chen/Jia deal with fierce resistance in second game as the Malaysians keep moving forward earlier into the net, so quick to intercept or maneuvering unpredictable drop shot that troubled the World Champions. The Chinese hotshots meet Matsuyama/Shida, Japan sky-rocketed pair in last eight months. Women's doubles is growing on more interesting direction where newcomers arrive and expected to be more colorful competition in future rather than the rivalry of three nations, CHN-JPN-KOR.
Yang Po-hsuan/Hu Ling-fang, what a fanstastic performance against the formidable and semi invincible Zheng/Huang, the Taiwanese duo incarnate to become the toughest foe for the Chinese pair to tackle in recent times. Yang PH powerful and lethal smash can balance Zheng monstrous offensive shot also Hu LF speed equals Huang YQ deft touch at front court plus their complicated placement really forcing the Chinese thinking hard. Looks like the Chinese speed begin to wane, exhibit tiredness, it's big question whether they would still participate SGP Open next week. Rivaldy/Mentari beat another combination who beat favorites earlier, Jomkoh/Paewsampran, maiden final of top level tour for INA hopefuls and first ever chance to challenge current world's best.
Again, no home representative in last round, best hopefuls Aaron Chia/Soh WY create repetitive nervous outcome that translated through lop sided scene in third game, mental block that seriously need to find solution before talking about technical skill. All-INA-Finals as the recent consistent duo Alfian/Ardianto have the Daddies for final showdown.
