WOW MISS THE LIVES MATCHES BUT THEN SO HAPPY TO SEE LEE CHONG WEI ADVANCED TO THE FINALS JUST AS PREDICTED. What a match. I believe Lee Chong Wei can win his matches un straight sets but he choses to entertain his fans and drags his game to three sets. At such an age he still showed his consistency to win in matches. Once again congratulations Lee Chong Wei for winning and reaching the finals. I believe that he can win vs Angus Ng Ka Long tomorrow.
Zwiebler did so well in INA Premier early this month before conceded ret. to Jorgensen in semifinal, hard to predict the outcome exactly But, I believe Lee CW will seal the title tomorrow Well, China has secured MD title after their upcoming pairs Li JH/Liu YC stunned top-seed Adistia/Gunawan, 22-20 / 21-10.
Its working, but only until Semi-final. By the way, great video from Holm22, especially on the score editing.
Once again special thanks to holm22 for uploading the matches live in YouTube so that I am able to watch all the matches played by Lee Chong Wei. So far to be honest after watching all the matches played by Lee Chong Wei until semi finals, I am very impressed with his performance. He still maintain his consistency to win matches in such an old age. Congratulations.
Marc Zweibler via Fb: "a painful but deserved loss for me today! My opponent was the better player and I was lacking mental and physical energy right from the start. Wasn't the best week for me but still I'm happy to reach semis even when I'm not at my best. Time for a break at home now and prepare for worlds in jakarta. Thanks for the support! M"
HK pride!! Too bad I missed Ng Ka Long's game waiting for LCW's autograph Also great job to Lee and Chau!
Pretty sure finals probably has a licensing deal with a TV station, and that's probably why they can't stream it. Which means nobody will be able to see it (legally. As there will probably be recordings/hacked streams anyways).
Strange that Marc Zwiebler skipped the US Open last week but played here this week when he was reportedly seen in the US. As for LCW's performance in these two tournaments so far, either he's showing some vulnerabilities or he's not yet back to top form. Hope he doesn't withdraw from the CHN Taipei GPG as that would be a better gauge of his form with the likes of Chen Long and Lin Dan to push him.
FINALS (01.00pm local time) => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...30E67E-3E13-4C25-B3CB-64AF41A734DC&d=20150628 1) Eefje Muskens/Selena Piek (NED) v Jwala Gutta/Ashwini Ponnappa (IND) 2) Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen (CHN) v Huang Kaixiang/Wang Sijie (CHN) 3) Andrei Adistia/Vita Marissa (INA) v Reginald Lee Chun Hei/Chau Hoi Wah (HKG) 4) Michelle Li (CAN) v Kaori Imabeppu (JPN) 5) Angus Ng Ka Long (HKG) v Lee Chong Wei (MAS) The first tie of five finals will be close duel as their H-2-H displayed in two previous meetings at last year back to back DEN & FRA SS. China potential MD Li JH/Liu YC is favoured to grab their back to back title after US Open last week against their teammate. HKG XD, Reginald Lee CH/Chau HW who's showing relative stable performance lately is predicted to redeem their losing in New York and will top podium here. Local favourite Michelle Li will face surprising finalist, 28 y.o. Japanese Kaori Imabeppu who knocked out her two higher rank compatriots also second seed Zhang Beiwen at previous rounds. With home crowd fully support, Li has slight advantage to defend her title. Last match of final day, HKG youngster Angus Ng KL has an uphill task to overcome top class player like Lee CW. It's not an easy route for twice Olympic silver medalists to enter last round as he played extra games three times in a row to defeat Vincent Wong WK, Sai Praneeth and Takuma Ueda that may drain his stamina.
