Becoming runner up in the Super 500 tournament is not a bad result for a young player like Ester. Congratulations, I hope she will continues to develop in the future. Congratulations also to Ana/Tiwi, even though not many top WD players participated, still it is really a worthy result for them.
Lee Zii Jia vs Kodai Naraoka match is going well. LZJ takes the first 21-19, but now Kodai is leading G2 11-6 at the interval. Just curious, what are the names of the two commentators of this match? Anyone know? The main one has been doing most of the matches this tournament. The guest/second commentator (Aaron ???) is new to me. EDIT: I think I got it...Aaron Wong...writer on Badzine. Still would like to know the name of the main commentator. Also, looks like Kodai is winning Game 3 EDIT AGAIN: Game 3 is a lot closer, 11-10 at the interval and now LZJ is ahead in the second half of the game. EDIT AGAIN 2: LZJ takes it! KN makes a plethora of mistakes, despite initially leading G3 and clawing back late to stay close but he unfortunately did himself in.
LZJ has made it in struggle mode... Kodai used Kunlavut's tactic in game 2 & 3 but failed to make LZJ drained...
HJT/RXY already in WR 8. They are far better than LYC/OXY now. But they don't have enough point when road to Paris
As a pessimistic supporter of Indonesia, I wish if only Indonesia could borrow HJT/RXY, WZY and Jiang/Wei for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Can CHN do that? drop players and replace with other CHN players? If that is possible, maybe MAS should replace Aaron/Soh with other MD players, they have plenty to choose from
