You have a point there. The good thing is they are all still very young, I think LYH and CQC can both be trained to acquire each other's strengths to complement their own forte, in which case the one who can do it better will be the firm partner of ZSW.
Went out for good lunch relatives. After that went round visiting houses again. So glad that I have finally reached a friend house and can watch the exciting MS match live.
What a WD finals. the spectators really got their moneys worth of badminton. The sad thing is that after Rio we might not see 3 of them playing anymore. Who then will partner my favorite, TYT. My choice will be Bao Yixin, Huang Yaqiong, Huang Dongping, in that order. The Chen Qingcheng- Jia Yifan partnership must be kept at all cost. Look at the way they demolished the Korean pair in the QF. Will also watch how Lin Yinhui and Du Yue progresses.
Instead of being back home celebrating and spending precious time with their near and dear ones during the all-important annual Spring Festival, the CHN contingent is here slogging it out from the very first day of Chinese New Year - they had better make it worth their while. Next, these two pairs will be off to the Badminton Asia team Championships on Monday, no going home yet.
Lee Hyun-Il , age 36 in April versus Hu Yun, age 35 - two of the very best veterans from Lin Dan's era, and not showing any signs of letting up. Phenomenal. Incredible. Amazing.
Hu Yun is the late bloomer, one of the greatest , in my opinion. Lee Hyun Il is an evergreen, top notch.
Yes that is why I said at the beginning I pity Chinese players around the world who miss their grand Chinese New Year celebration for this tournament. I truly appreciate their huge sacrifice.
[MENTION=86374]Justin L[/MENTION] I truly appreciate all the great efforts of the China players in this tournament especially the great Zheng Siwei.
In terms of experience, skills and guile, little separates the two maestros. We are in for a real treat.
