Fukushima/ Hirota playing much better than TakaMatsu. Also a much better head to head against the china WD
this Japanese pair has a good attacking game to my surprise, haven't really seen much of their matches before but they seem to be a promising pair for Japan, I like the way they are turning the defense to attack.
They are up against weaker opponents. All thanks to Sikki's choking skills, they wouldn't even be her atm.
They have a much better head to head to the china WD, in fact beat them several times. (once this year) That's speculation (yet again). They fully deserve to be here and to move on to the final.
Also as a reminder they have won the German Open GP and the Malaysia Premier Superserie this year + two semi-final in Australia and India
They did look VERY tired in this match. That 1h41 match yesterday hit them strong. But we shall see. It will be a tough match
