2013 Yonex FRENCH Open SS : Semifinals & FINALS (26th & 27th October 2013)

this Game 2 is even better.

 

Little separates the two pairs, trading blow for blow. Xu Chen seems to me the hardest working of the four.

 

what is the rule on nose bleeding?

 

Xu Chen's nose is bleeding and the tournament doctor is attending to him now.

 

Xie ZB.. i miss him.

 

The CHN coach has come down to check and Xu Chen wants to carry on playing, so game continues.

 

You can see the rivalry between the two pairs, even disputing the service call.

 

Interesting to see the two ladies trying to outwit each other at the front court.

 

that CHN coach was Xie ZB, i think.

 

Eventually, Zhang/Zhao proving themselves just a little bit better than their compatriots Xu/Ma for the title.

 

Thanks for telling me, I think you're right.

 

nokh88 the match is over, ZN/ZYL won 28-26, 21-17.
It was good game actually...

 

Next up is the MD, my sympathies go to the MAS KKK/TBH who desperately need the title.

 

early in the game and i can already forsee KKK/TBH losing...they just don't seem interested...hope they'll prove me wrong

 

Yeap I think KKK/TBH really need this title to lift their spirits and justify their on-going partnership.. then again I am still not overly optimistic about them winning... hopefully I am proven wrong

 

seriously KKK/TBH are 50% of what they were...it looks like a training match...

 

yeap... think KKK/TBH lost their fire and drive to win...

 

even gill clark stated the fact that they just seem too casual in their play...it's really frustrating when they keep asking for chances and they say they can do it yet they don't prove or even show that they are actually interested in achieving it

 

this is almost too frustrating to watch....gets on my nerves to watch them play like that

 

previously KKK was the one that is usually blamed but now it seems that TBH is following suit...no fire at all
