Play on wednesday
Hi everyone,
here's a bit of my promise to keep you up to date on the Dutch Open.
the day isn't over yet but I watched a couple of matches,
in a quite small and warm hall called 'de Maaspoort' in 's Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.
Remarkable was that despite her win, the Dai Yun didn't seem motivated at all, looking around to other courts between the points and not being focused.
Xu Huaiwen, Yao Jie, Kanako Yonekura all steadily advanced to the next round (I couldn't wait to see Judith Meulendijk's match, hope she won though). Yonekura will play Yao Jie tomorrow, this will be a very interesting match between two title candidates.
The dane Michael Christensen played very well today, but he will get a tougher opponent tomorrow in the form of Shon Seung Mo. I'm looking forward to it, because I've never seen Shon playing before.
Quite a good impression made Lee Chong Wei, very easy and smooth playing, the style reminds a bit of Lee Tsuen Seng.
Tomorrow the big names enter the tournament. I watched Ha Tae Kwon and Kim Dong Moon do some training on court today. Ha looks totally fit again! Although he misses a bit of rithm of course, we can definately consider them title candidates. Other Korean double was also training: Yoo was hitting some big smashes during the training today and walked around with a towel (and ice in it perhaps) around his arm afterwards, I don't know why, I don't know if that's normal habit for him?Both Ha/Kim and Yoo/Lee will have an easy first round match on thursday to warm up.
Shuttles from Holland,
- Mark.
