Chinese Taipei redeemed their disappoinment outcome at homeground GP to bag two titles in Almere. The talented youngster, Wang Tzu Wei overcame defending champion Ajay Jayaram in three games. The 22 years old Wang had relatively comfortable path en route to the final, only had tough match in last eight against Sweden Henri Hurskainen. Second seed Lee Jhe Huei/Lee Yang delivered another triumphant for TPE camp, downed Danish combo Mathias Christiansen/David Daugaard. US shuttler Zhang Beiwen practically was unstoppable, she never dropped a set to clinch WS title including to beat her final opponent Hsu Ya Ching. The first two finals presented marathon matches, Denmark promising mixed doubles pair Mathias Christiansen/Sara Thygesen dumped their teammates Gravholt/Fruergaard, a glimmer of hope to seek DEN illustrious combination Fischer/Pedersen successor. The Aussie pair Setyana Mapasa/Gronya Somerville picked their second GP title in this season after CAN Open last July, thwarted Stoeva Sisters, Gabriela & Stefani to defend their crown.

All matches can be found on Badminton Europe's Youtube channel I believe! I had a great time in Almere for this tournament. Lots of very high level matches as the 1st two days (not including qualifiers) had many matches that went 3 games, or at least were close in score in 2.
