Great support for LCW at this tournament. I envy those side court spectators.. get to watch LCW in action that close.. u don't get to be so close in SS event.
Huang Yuxiang lost to Praneeth and didn't face Lee CW here, you meant Guo Kai? Well, China scooped three titles through doubles discipline, the most surprising outcome is China young XD who stunned HKG pair, maiden GPG title for Huang KX/Huang DP. Vittinghus did excellent job in game 1 but couldn't keep the rhythm in second set. All finals were pretty straight forward clash, only MS that delivered exciting atmosphere at game 1.

He was 100% expecting a drive to the net. He may have looked relaxed, but he was likely mentally moving forward. .
He's being complacent a lot lately. He almost always gets punished for it - playing a high backhand clear and the opponent smashes a winner down the line. Don't think he would do that if his opponent was LD or CL.
What worries me is that such an attitude actually shows a lack of confidence (a way to reassure oneself) and would be followed regularly by doubts and very conservative play when meeting the best.
