still perfect for lee yong dae/kim gi jung, not dropping a game yet. btw, did steen said they can play in korea open this year ? or I hear it wrong ?
Yep. I remember he said they ‘are’ playing the Korean open this year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't think that being a B team member is hindering his development. He was actually in the A team throughout 2017, but was unable to improve on his ranking. He is simply not at the same level (yet?). Edit: The maximum number of A team players in the MS category is set at five. In addition to Momota, Nishimoto, Tsuneyama, and Sakai, there is Takeshita Riichi, who the NBA were compelled to place in the A team, as he won the 2017 All Japan Championships. Although Takeshita may well be demoted before 2019, currently there is no room for Igarashi.
I think so too, movement-wise! Although Mitani is less flexible/acrobatic than NO at round-the-head shots.
Kanta Tsuneyama is promising player, maybe he would pass Kenta Nishimoto and becomes Japan number two MS player behind Kento Momota. Yu Igarashi was too passive and error-proned against Thai veteran Suppanyu Avihingsanon, he needs more competing experience. Well, an ideal MS final based on seeding position, top-seed Avihingsanon will up against Danish young star, Rasmus Gemke. With Jorgensen is struggling to back on his best form, Denmark still has Anders Antonsen and Gemke to accompany their spearhead Viktor Axelsen in top-tier badminton tournaments alongside 32 years old Hans K.Vittinghus. The battle of Danish WS presented close contest with intriguing fashion particularly in deciding game, Line Kjaerfeldt managed hefty lead, 10-3 then her younger compatriot Mia Blichfeldt regained momentum to score 8 consecutive points, at the end Blichfeldt won narrowly 22-20. We'll see whether the Danish young lady could balance Minatsu Mitani resilience and strong stamina. Mitani eliminated Scottish hopeful Kirsty Gilmour. It's first final for former Japan number one Mitani after series of semifinal outing in several tourneys in this season. One step closer for KOR comeback pair Lee YD/Kim GJ to clinch first title here after retired from national team, they will meet toughest rival along this event, Thailand independent duo Isara/Jongjit. Hot favourite Matsumoto/Nagahara lost to Sakuramoto/Takahata in their first meeting almost two years ago in KOR GP Gold, things will gonna be different this time since the former won prestigious title recently. Mixed doubles will pit two European representatives, current CAN Open Super 100 winner Ellis/Smith are challenged by Danish number two pair Nohr/Thygesen.

hopefully there will be a match in the near future between furious-attacking Dora/JYF vs MatsuNaga.....
Aren't both MS players wearing pretty much same color for their jerseys? And with the background is red too, red overloaded..
