    KamuraSonoda going for their 6th SS title and surely the biggest one in their career. However, they have lost quite a number of finals including the last 2.

    Overall stands at 5 title , 7 RU at SS level.

    LOL the comeback of the year so far.

    17-5 down in the second set, Yuki Kaneko and Misaki Matsutomo comes back to win 22-20, over CPS GLY of Msia.
    Won in straight sets.

    What a beautiful game.

    Yeah I've always felt that she's just waiting to feed off shots at the net. Doesn't do too much to rotate and set up plays.

    CPS looked pretty frustrated at his partner, all the while it was GLY shouting "yours! yours!". you could see in the later stages that CPS was trying harder shots, probably signs of lack of trust in GLY.

    China doesn't look ready to win all 5 disciplines, outside of XD they aren't dominant at all

    They are always anyway.. But China could possibly have a weak spot in their WS; and even MD...

    XD could of course still strongly go towards china's 2 top pairs. But what I meant is how Japan is looking nice in all discipline. WD is their strength, Kento could take it, Strong MD Pair, XD rising again, and 2 'queens' in WS. Not to mention it is their home ground. And with foreign fans banned...

    In my opinion, Chen yufei is the favorite to take ws title, and md is really weak spot for china with indonesia pairs and japanese pairs on their way. Btw, Japan and China is only 2 countries that can take all crown this time

    CHN MS is really weak, SYQ never recovered from injury and even before the injury he still almost never beat Axelsen. CL I doubt is going to be near his best again, getting old and didnt compete for 14(?) months already.

    Good match between Caljouw and LZJ (he was understandably very nervous...hopefully he settles for the real battle tommorow)

    I don't know if CYF is enough competition for Okuhara. China had lost their dominance in WS and WD for quite some time.

    I don't understand. Does Y Watanabe play 2 games per day? Is it ok, nothing against the rule?
