2016 SKYCITY NEW ZEALAND Open GP Gold : Qualifying Round-Final

Well I watched that whole match live. I was glued to the screen. It was so exciting. In the end Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying won. Both of them really deserved to win. Both played so well to win. Even senior and good Korean XD are not doing a good job now. Sad scene for Korea. Yesterday both Shin Baek Cheol / Chae Yoo Jung totally gave up their XD match. Too bad. But then both Chan Peng soon / Goh Liu Ying really impressed me with their never give up and good fighting spirit. Once again congratulations to the Malaysian XD for playing so well to win the whole game.

 

Now time for MS. Riichi has been really impressive in this tournament, I think he will take it. Great deceptive skills and back hand

 

Riichi is 26 years old already, mature, experienced, and maybe in his prime.

 

Chen Yu is coaching the CHN 2nd tier MS.

 

At least both the Malaysian XD showed a much better display and much better fighting spirit. Not easy for them. But now I am more worried for the good Korean XD. Very worried with their performance. Yesterday Shin Baek Cheol / Chae Yoo Jung gave up their game. Both played in couldn't find ways to win. Watch that replay of the match myself and I was disappointed because they just gave hallway through the game because they couldn't find ways to win. Too bad. Then Ko Sung Hyun / Kim Ha Na didn't play that well either. To be honest Kim Ha Na is a total let down and not a good woman partner. Too bad. Korean XD Olympic bound players not playing well now.

 

• HYX wearing red shirt with yellow strip blue shorts! Talk about mismatch day at college

 

Riichi is reluctant to lift.

 

That's a gr8 rally! Takeshita was the first to err though

 

Huang Yuxiang's defence has improved a lot as seen in this tournament.

 

Tough fight now for the Match. Hmm... Difficult to predict who will win.

 

HYX got some good stuff

 

Amazing retrieving and saves from HYX before winning the point.

 

so who do you think will win?

 

Takeshita just like many other JPN players is quite good at retrieving and footwork but if only he improves his attacks

 

Clever hold and flick from HYX when RT is expecting a net return.

 

A run of points from HYX now, 16-10...

 

I am cool with either of them!
HYX should win this, the fate has been quite cruel for him in his prev 2 GPG finale!
Although, takeshita is upcoming and I have quite liking towards JPN youngsters

 

HYX gets a lot back.

 

looks like Huang Yu Xiang is playing very well now. He deserves to win tis game. So exciting to watch him play.

 

You are right. Huang can wi this game. He is playing so well.
