[Justin L]

[Zezevii]

what a comeback by LHI

 

[Justin L]

Two smash errors from SYQ. wasted

 

[Justin L]

Done, Shui Yuqi is the French open 2016 MS Champion !

 

[Justin L]

Shi Yuqi at 20-19 didn't lose his cool , didn't panick, played a soft net shot to win it. Marvellous.

 

[Zezevii]

SYQ finally won the match.My full respect to LHI. Quite a model to young players

 

[Woffle]

respect for both the young and old player today

 

[Justin L]

Unbelievable, the 20-yr-old Shi Yuqi beat the Stroke Master for his maiden SS title !

 

[Justin L]

Li Yongbo beaming with delight congratulated Shi Yuqi

My fav player LHI gave a good fight to up and coming youngster Shi Yuqi, 16 years his junior. Brilliant match and congrats to Shi Yuqi, I believe we will see much more of him in tournaments to come!
The toppling of LHI by Shi Yuqi proves that dreams do come true after all, as the aspiring star bests his idol that he grew up watching.

 

[Justin L]

I underestimated Shi Yuqi. He demonstrated maturity for his age, cool, calm and collected. I'm amazed.

 

[Justin L]

I'm somewhat dazed, hard to believe what I've just witnessed on the screen. Shi Yuqi defeated Lee Hyun Il in two straight games !!

 

[Zezevii]

I underestimated Shi Yuqi. He demonstrated maturity for his age, cool, calm and collected. I'm amazed.

especially at 20-19,calm and concentrate. Great mental strength.

 

[Justin L]

CBA sent mostly a bunch of juniors and second stringers to this French Open arena and they take center stage throughout the superseries tourney and emerged with four out of five titles !

If only Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen have joined them on Finals day.

 

[Justin L]

especially at 20-19,calm and concentrate. Great mental strength.

Shi Yuqi will go far, without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[Justin L]

Shi Yuqi, I dare you, go after Lee CW next !

 

[Pirayeba67]

A disguised wish in the form of a worry that China may go home without a title once again not only did not materialize but turned out to be a 4- title win.

I always feel good to see young players winning,no matter where they come from.
However this 'bunch of juniors' is perhaps the best from team China for the moment,and they still have a lot to learn.They have to work really hard to keep Sudirman cup next year.

Shi Yuqi, I dare you, go after Lee CW next !

oh not now....

 

[Zezevii]

A disguised wish in the form of a worry that China may go home without a title once again not only did not materialize but turned out to be a 4- title win.

no title in Denmark and 4 titles in France are both accidental situation for China. However it's good to see young players growing up.

After the youth Olympics SYQ was kept in cold storage for about a year and reemerged playing so well. Hope it will be the same with Lin Guipu who had a better head-to-head against Shi at the junior level.
