    The WD have just ended with Tang Yuanting / Yu Yang China winning over Hong Kong Poon Lok Yan / Tse Ying Suet 21-10 21-18. Although the Hong Kong WD may have lost the match both have already created a huge upsets by entering the finals.

    Now is the time for the MS match of Vincent Wong Wing Ki vs Angus Ng Ka long. I predicted this to be a never ending long gruelling match.

    Robert Mateusiak of Poland, born 13 Jan 1976 , is 39 years old !

    When I heard GC said he is 39 years of age, I just got to check it up.

    The MS match has ended with Angus Ng Ka Long winning over Vincent Wong Wing Ki 21-12 21-13. The match seems a bit one sided favouring Angus to win.

    Poon Look Yan actually retired for a year hence the pair dropped in ranking.

    Good for Angus. Making incremental steps upwards.

    The XD match has final ended with Robert Mateusiak / Nadiezda Zieba winning over the more fancied pair Chris Adcock / Gabrielle Adcock 21 -18 21-17. What a surprise and a big upset indeed.

    Great to see this Polish XD pair, Mateusiak/Zieba, the underdog, takes the title. Robert certainly doesn't show his age, perhaps it's easier in doubles with a partner to share the workload, nevertheless, remarkable.

    I think this WS match will clearly favour Akane Yamaguchi to win in straight sets.

    Btw, Robert's partner Nadiezda Zieba is no spring chicken either, born 21 May 1984, is 31 years of age.

    I saw some glimpses of Ng ka Long's match. He is Male version of Akane Yamaguchi. His game is 'never let shuttle die' type. He works really hard for each and every point. Such a hard worker on court.

    Hahaha great that old man Mateusiak could win today! Is he the oldest player ever to have won a GPG?

    The prize money for the XD winner is a measly USD9K, shared between the couple. After deducting all the expenses and a cut to the association, not much left.

    Indeed, Angus Ng Ka Long is not to be underestimated, he's getting better and better of late.
