What a suprise. China WD that rank fifth in their country win straight set 21-11 and 21-18 against Korea no 1 pair. Not to mention in second set Chine WD trail from 4-14 and 5-15 but they catched up and win 6 points in a row to level 17-17. And they win 21-18. Ma Jin/Wang Xiao Li with these kind of play will be a top 3 material. Wang XL had this flick backhand that was fast and dangerous.
LHJ/LKW look disappointed while the Chinese youngsters are all smiles during the prize presentation. What a comeback by the MJ/WXL from 5-15 down to win the 2nd game 21-18. Well done! CHN guarantees 3 titles.
On other notes, the Korean pair were this year Runner Up Pairs. They were runner up in Korea Open 2009, Swiss Open 2009 and now Asian Championship 2009.
At least..KOR line judges is much better this year..I have been told that Dr.Kang was so shamed last year and decided not to attend KOR Final 2008 and he also did not donate fund until the person in charge resigned ( forgot his name)...Dr.Kang was under fire from most of Badminton federations regarding "patriotic line judges"...
Now the MD, Go Hendra /Markis. They will win. MS: BCL will win. WS: Time had come for XXF to win title again. XD: LYD/LKW will win.
I hope Chen Long...I need his PAW to stay in top 3........... Bao already won German Open...so it is fair that Chen Long gets this one...
MJ/WXL are more dangerous than ZYL/CS imo! LHJ/LKW don't like to play attacking players like MJ/WXL & DJ/YY. I didn't notice that!
IMHO, I still think BCL will win in term of skill and experience.... I also PAWed Chen Long because of the tempting huge points... feel like gambling... hehehehe....
