Yonex FRENCH Open 2016 : FINALS (30th October)

[Justin L]

If they lose, I'd prefer they go down in two so as to conserve more energy for Chen Qingchen for her XD match later.

 

[Justin L]

It's obvious the KOR want to pin CQC to the back to drain her energy as much as possible.

 

[Justin L]

I think Chen Qingchen has to decide for herself which match she wants to win more, WD or XD, and devote more energy to it at the expense of the other.

As she has never won a WD SS title, I suspect she'll choose the former.

17-10 already ?

 

[Justin L]

Service fault is a bugbear, esp in doubles.

 

[Justin L]

Delaying the inevitable ?

 

[Justin L]

And a service error by the KOR ends it.

Didn't she win Aussie Open this year with Bao Yixin?

 

[Justin L]

First she drop shot, next she smashes, Chen QC is a smart player, always keeping her opponents guessing..

 

[Justin L]

Didn't she win Aussie Open this year with Bao Yixin?

You're right, thanks for pointing it out.

 

[Justin L]

The KOR coaches looking a bit nonplussed ?

 

[Justin L]

Jia Yifan is developing into quite an all-rounder now, no longer mostly a hard-hitter at the back.

 

[Justin L]

6 points gone all of a sudden.

 

[Justin L]

Too eager to win ?

 

[Justin L]

Handling one's emotions properly is part of growing up.

 

[paroxysmal]

Jia has a sensational backhand retrieve

 

[Justin L]

Suddenly the CHN forges ahead again...

 

[paroxysmal]

Not sure CQC is too drained like against the no 1 seeds in the semis.. Unless this goes to game 3

 

[Justin L]

The CHN are still too tense, not relax enough.

 

[paroxysmal]

Awesome play
