Yonex-Sunrise HONG KONG Open 2014 : FINALS (23rd November 2014)

[kwun]

double hit is a fault.

although the replay shows that they were doing synchronized hitting. exactly the same stroke and timing.

 

[kwun]

impressive net shot by TQ.

 

[Justin L]

ZYL is a very smart player.

 

[Justin L]

Yes, double hit should be a fault, not a let.

 

[pcll99]

a mystery... so why call a let?

 

[kwun]

from 6-11 to 21-13.

 

[Justin L]

The interviewer herself translates in Cantonese, not in English !?

 

[pcll99]

TQ speaking cantonese!!!! WOW!!!

 

[Devendra]

I watched enough of Gill Clark to predict what she's gonna say. She has those usual lines .

 

[kwun]

and there is Michelle Li chowing down her cake, all captured in TV.

unfortunately but understandably.

 

[pcll99]

unfortunately but understandably.

the funny thing is, the tournament is broadcast in Hong Kong on a local English TV channel!!

 

[Devendra]

TQ speaking cantonese!!!! WOW!!!

I find cantonese more appealing. It's such a pity that mandarin became the national tongue.

 

[Justin L]

Instead of juggling with three balls, the entertainers, a man with a bunch of kids,each perform hitting five shuttles with a racquet in succession continuously.

 

[Justin L]

unfortunately but understandably.

the funny thing is, the tournament is broadcast in Hong Kong on a local English TV channel!!

If I'm not wrong, the same thing happened at the French and Denmark Open where it's translated into the national language.

 

[Justin L]

I watched enough of Gill Clark to predict what she's gonna say. She has those usual lines .

Me too, she seldom deviates from her usual script.

 

[pcll99]

If I'm not wrong, the same thing happened at the French and Denmark Open where it's translated into the national language.

Both the French and the Cantonese are very proud of their respective languages.

 

[kwun]

I am looking forward to WS final!

 

[Devendra]

If I'm not wrong, the same thing happened at the French and Denmark Open where it's translated into the national language.

It happened in France not in Denmark where English was used atleast for post match interviews.

But, everyone knows French are linguistic chauvinist.

The prize money for the WD winner is USD27K+, much less than at the CHN Open about USD42K+ if my memory serves me right.
