    Like the pair on the court the supporters of both sides seem fairly evenly matched. Even with the slender advantage China have in the interval I can see this going either way.

    Thoroughly impressed by their nerves of steel, reaching the final
    AGAIN. I must say though that ZSW really must improve his serve. It was very lucky that they got 2 match points on HYQ’s serve.

    Excited for tomorrow’s XD final! I feel Watanabe/Higashino have what it takes to push it to a decider or even win! Hope they make it count on the big stage as they did in the Sudirman Cup!

    I think it depends how much this match against Boe/Morgensen takes out of Watanabe. Can't be easy playing a second match close to midnight the night before

    Amazing to see how much Watanabe has improved. Used to think he's the weak link in the partnership with Endo, now he's the one finding and creating opportunities to score.

    After seeing everybody struggling against this Danes, i just wanna recall how satwik/chirag almost beat them in this tournament. Even the youngsters had match point against them.

    Well isn't this stupid. Watanabe is put on first match for the finals after finishing the men's doubles. Surely some common sense should prevail to give him more time to recover and give a better chance of us spectators enjoying a better match

    I know there are rules in the order but it would be nice to show some consideration to the players.
