Yonex Open CHINESE TAIPEI Open GP Gold 2015 : SEMIFINALS (18th July 2015)

20-18. Please take it!

 

Choked it.

 

Four straight points taken by Ko/Kim. *sob*

 

I hope Kevin can win, he is fun to watch.

 

Is Ahsan injured? His movement is slower than usual

 

Giving their allies free walkover.

 

I doubt it. It's Eid Mubarak for Ahsan, and he won't just come to Taipei to just give free walkover to the compatriot.

 

welldone CTC, no matter what are the reasons diff ppl claim LD for his loss, it's a big boost to CTC and badminton world in Taipei.

 

Phew, just woke up and missed most of the first game. No calls from you.

 

Hey, the ladies in the singles don't break the eggs, they still keep them for future.

 

The WS match is closer than what the score indicated, imo. Tai TY is as impatient as ever, tried too many fanciful shots in attempting to be deceptive and keep the opponent guessing but ended up making a number of errors; I guess that's her natural style, difficult to change, but when she gets it right, she is hard to beat.

 

btw the match of the Women's Volleyball #2015WGP (#2015WorldGrandPrix) between the two undefeated teams, CHN & USA just kicks off

 

i know i know neither match was easy, the outcome could go reversely... and the simple line "they don't break the eggs..." didn't do the ladies the justice, it is just to amuse some diehards here

 

LXR is playing better and better as the tournament progresses. In R1 with Busanan, she somewhat overreached herself in trying to be fast and furious in her attacking game. But once she settled down and began to find her rhythm from R2 onward, she is in her element as evident in her QF match with Nozomi Okuhara.

Tomorrow LXR faces her compatriot, the resurgent WYH, I think we can look forward to a treat.

 

This MS match is so boring, both players playing so slow, pacing around the court between points.

 

Finally it's over. In the 2nd game, NW scored half of the points of what he got in the 1st game. 18-21; 9-21.

 

Ah yes, you mean the H2H shutout, now extended to 10-0, as neither ladies, Intanon R or Tai TY, could break their duck. But Sung JH managed to break hers with LXR the last time they met.

 

Yes Justin, Sung succeeded in BCA INA Open... watching WGP @HK now

videostream just has lowres...still looking around for a working cctv5plus for it goes live the match

 

Good to see Chen Long getting smarter now, he didn't allow Wei Nan to impose his game on him for too long, that is using the tactical setup of tight net shot to force CL to lift and then smash a winner against him. What's more, Chen Long is alert to WN's x-net return as well.

 

I enjoy watching volleyball too. I'm sure you're aware that USA women's volleyball was once trained by China's Lan Ping and they started to beat CHN, even winning the world championship. Now that Lan Ping has returned to coaching CHN, let's see how she fares against the US.
