    Ra's women's doubles match has gone into a third game. The Chinese concentrate their attack on her a lot. I wonder if this is China's strategy to tire her out further in preparation for tomorrow's mixed doubles final.

    the commentators are saying that Ra looked very tired during the interval. i wonder if the Chinese are doing it for their own good. it is quite a gamble as they are not really winning this match for sure.

    Lee has improved since Korean Open. still not as fast as the others but her shots are much more consistent and accurate.

    Koreans came out fighting in the 3rd game, but the pace has slowed down again with clears and drops. Darren Hall doesn't understand why the chinese attack Ra more often as she is supposedly the stronger doubles player. Obviously, he's not connected up to badmintoncentral..............

    The chinese must be very fit. It is obvious that more drop and clears are being played to Ra. Other drops are played to the middle forcing Ra to make an effort to move for a shot she may not play.

    Ha and Kim are just through their Men's doubles 15-13 final game.
    The koreans are going to be dead meat for the final...(I hope)

    they are starting to attack Lee again.

    perhaps they are just doing both. attack Ra, push Ra around, make her tired, and then go off and attack Lee for the points.

    Ra and her partners plays an asymmetric game anyway. Ra does much more work. Lee is more junior makes her even more tired.

    wow. Huang just did what? 5 drop shots to Ra in a row? then Ra pushed it out to the side.

    aggression.

    Huang is getting more aggressive as it progresses into the 3rd game. she is hitting smashes even on round the head shots.

    Lee has a strong smash. and she is young and energetic.

    Huang hit a smash out the side with a clear court. There is no way she can do that accidently.

    Re: 10-8 China

    they are definitely attacking Lee now. the game is closing to end game. time to play the less experienced one. while the older one so tired she has trouble supporting herself.

    they just got service back, 11-9

    Re: 11-9 China.

    Getting more aggresive now. can really see the snapping action of the chinese wrist going through the shuttle. The Koreans are still really trying hard

    Re: 11-9 China.

    Yang need to work on her net intercept. she must have missed 6-7 of those already.

    120 minutes.

    crucial call.

    Koreans returned a smash, went near the sideline. line judge says out, then called unsighted. it was made a let by the umpire.

    if called it, it would be 14-11 Chinese. but now it is 13-12.

    13-13 now.
