Anyone know why TTY isn’t playing in her home tournament? The home fans must be quite disappointed...
What.. Choiter reach Final... F...lets go GohTan. On the sidenote, I think C Taipei can be a SuperseriesEvent infuture.. Looks like a big crowd for a huge stadium (velodrome type?) Big prize money too, wouldnt mind winning a few of that year.
Was indeed a good match. No time wasting antics - at least not that many by Choi. Also generally the scoreline were so tight and exciting.
Disappointed but let's see....Gave up a world championship attempt for Taiwan, Taiwanese badminton association argued about her sponsorship in last Olympics arguably disturbing her preparation. She's Taiwan's best bets for a gold at Olympics. Let her do whatever she needs to do.
An encouraging result by Korean squad who featuring in all five finals in this Super 300 event. On the contrary, none of INA representatives enter last round despite PBSI sends most of their core players (except MS) here. Women's doubles is the best bet for Korea to pick title, world #9 Kim SY/Kong HY are favoured to overcome Kititharakul/Prajongjai who stun current World Championships bronze medalists Polii/Rahayu in semifinal, scoring first ever victory of five meetings. Kim/Kong were troubled by Indonesian promising youngsters Ramadhanti/Sugiarto, 22-20 / 21-14. In the absence of world's top four pair, mixed doubles will present the battle of southpaws, interesting clash to watch. Tang CM/Tse YS outclass Chan PS/Goh LY, too little to late comeback by the top-seed in second game while Seo SJ/Chae YJ tackle INA number two Faizal/Widjaja with two straight-games. Chance for Sung Ji Hyun to rectify her lackluster performance, progressing into final round after quite long time. A tough opponent awaits her as last hurdle, Pan American Games 2019 champion Michelle Li. Sung eliminates young talent compatriot An Se Young, 21-18 / 21-14. The Canadian number one dropped second game to conquer and ended Thai qualifier Supanida Kathethong, 21-9 / 15 -21 / 21-10. Home darling Chou Tien Chen looks struggling how he dismissed rivals en route into final including semifinal foe Shesar Hiren Rhustavito. Chou was unfazed to fell short in opening game, 23-25 then started to read well his opponent style of play, turning the tables to seal the match with 21-10 / 21-13. The world number two who snatched two top-tier crowns recently is overwhelming favourite to top podium against the underdog Korean, 2013 World Junior Champion, Heo Kwang Hee. The unseeded Choi SG/Seo SJ who made big headline in Basel world meet continue their good form, advancing into final after edge out local hopefuls Lee Y/Wang CL in really tight and captivating semifinal that contained many interesting fast furious exchanging shots,19-21 / 25-23 / 23-21. They will confront Rio silver medalists Goh VS/Tan WK for men's doubles crown contention, the Malaysians outmaneuver Danish combination Boe/Conrad in three games, 18-21 / 21-11 / 21-12.
Yeah wondering the same too. Like Ahsan I understand why he avoid contact with women due to religious.
Congrats CTC...Im Loving the Taipei Open ! Congrats to SJH,Thai pair and HK pair as well and those who win the MD.
Maybe he’s another clean freak who doesn’t like to have contact with other people jokes aside I’m curious about this too if anyone knows why?
Surprising scoreline Looks like SJH got her mojo back, after surviving major hiccups against GMT, or LM had a really off day. Also, The Thai pair def Kim/Kong Let's go goh/Tan
