Missed almost all the bestches, Any link for Hls or something? Tommy showed he is still the best bet for INA fans. BO finally def CYF, oh I sooo wanted the young girl to show, she's here for quite some while as CHN#1 N what to say about CQC/JYF they literally outclassed Polii n co. Well I think few more tourneys before GP and her new partner can match NKM/GP standards.
FINALS (01.00pm) => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...B0B597-B92D-4154-83D2-9DB40D722845&d=20170212 Host Thailand has representatives in all five finals except MD discipline, followed by badminton giant China with three final slots in doubles category and Indonesia, Japan and Chinese Taipei have one each. WD, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan (CHN) v Puttita Supajirakul/Sapsiree Taerattanachai (THA) H-2-H : 0-1 / WR : 6 v 10 An ideal final contest as top-two seeds face each other, China sensational rookies cruise into last round in convincing way, beat all their opponents comfortably including Polii/Sari in semifinal. Local favourites Puttita/Sapsiree involved in physically demanding match to overcome Chinese second layered pair Huang DP/Li YH in longest duration along this tournament, 84 minutes. The Thai combination defeated mighty Chen/Jia in their first meeting almost a year ago in GER GP Gold but the young Chinese pair are favoured to top podium considering their marvelous display lately, particularly in Dubai Finals. WS, Busanan Ongbamrungphan (THA) v Aya Ohori (JPN) H-2-H : 1-3 / WR : 12 v 20 Thailand Open final rematch will happen here in same region but different venue, the pretty young lady from Japan looked sharp to dispose second seed Jindapol in semifinal. Later on, Busanan had bad start at opening game against Chen Yufei, she made great comeback before lost 18-21 then the match went to really tense with two players traded point, the top-seed gained momentum in critical moment to seal next two games, beat the tired and less-experienced reigning World Junior Champion with 22-20 and 21-17. The left-handed Ohori has slight advantage to bag title as she did in their last encounter. MD, Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han (TPE) v Huang Kaixiang/Wang Yilu (CHN) H-2-H : 0-0 / WR : 24 v 39 Both finalists have similar type of play, aggressive style with fast, flat drive and hard smash. The energetic TPE pair Lu/Yang rise suddenly early this year after pocketed two International Challenge title in 2016. They managed good run in Lucknow couple of weeks ago, lost to world number two Boe/Mogensen in final. It's a first ever final for Huang/Wang combination since their debut last September in INA Masters, this Chinese duo seem promising, they reached semifinal round in Korea Superseries, lost to prominent names Lee YD/Yoo YS. XD, Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui (CHN) v Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai (THA) H-2-H : 0-0 / WR : 49 v 12 China new prospects Zhang/Li who only played three tournament together before they take part here, one GP Gold title and being runner-up at homesoil Superseries Premier indicate they may be permanent pair in future events. The Chinese had hard times in semifinal against INA back-up pair then Alfian Eko Prasetya twisted his left ankle at 20-20 position of first game that forced him to concede retired. Home favourite Dechapol/Sapsiree powered past Singaporean Terry He/Tan WH in last four, second attempt for Thai combo to produce better outcome after failed in Jeju last year, conquered by Ko SH/Kim HN. MS, Kantaphon Wangcharoen (THA) v Tommy Sugiarto (INA) H-2-H : 0-0 / WR : 142 v 20 Last final tie will stage the battle of different generation, 18 years old Kantaphon against 28 years old Sugiarto. A big breakthrough for 2016 WJC bronze medalist in his tender age, Kantaphon defeated giant killer Lee Zii Jia in thrilling and exciting duel, 15-21 / 21-18 / 22-20. The Malaysian promising star Lee shocked tournament top contender Tanongsak in last eight. At adjacent court, the vast experienced Sugiarto thwarted his younger compatriot Anthony Ginting to step up into finale. Former world number three Sugiarto had poor result along 2016 and he made pretty good start in new season, being semifinalist in MAS Masters last month and is favoured to nail the crown here.
This Thai WD pair is really good. The tall, slender, pretty Puttitta is getting better. The former singles turned doubles Sapsiree is doing fine in WD.
