VICTOR Hong Kong Open 2023

Nishimoto do all the thing he can. Congrat Christie

 

Wondering what they were chatting there?

Probably Christie, "How many racquets do you have left?" Nishimoto, "I used only 1 in the game." Christie, "What? I spent like 5 there."

2 titles collected. Can we have also have it for MD?

Nishimoto probably asking for Christie to exchange the medal there ;D

 

Nice birthday present for Jonathan Christie as he finally beat Kenta Nishimoto (after losing the previous 4 matches) in 3 tough-sets 12-21, 22-20, 21-18. This was despite trailing 13-16 in the second set and 11-13 in the decider.

It is also a nice birthday present for him (15 September) and good preparation for the Asian Games in Hangzhou.

 

"why does the shuttle only drop in my court when it hit the net" - Nishimoto ^^

 

JC asking Nishimoto why his racquet and attire are different?

Nishimoto : hard to explain in English.

 

Christie was killing it on net and body hit return.

Love how after the hard fought battle, they keep exchanging chat there.

 

Indonesia team having big winner in this HK open…

 

That's how it, sometimes happens when you don't play very well but still win the title.
Congrats JC..

Time for Leo/Daniel ....

 

Let's see if Carnando/Marthin can win it here on their first try.

 

So far the crowd favourites all lost and DEN pair got the loudest reception.

 

What was that? Astrup was standing there waiting :/

EDIT: Dang it, why all three matches started like this?

A great start for the Danes.

 

Leo is the most emotionless player.

 

Sure appreciating the results, even though there is also other factor thay contributed that some strong foes not participating or having lost to other players.

 

Yep, set 1 is done.

Let's see how it's gonna be on set 2.

 

If this time Leo/Daniel fails to win the title then INA MD is truly in a ditch.
Even when there were no Kang/Seo, Liang/Wang, Shetty/RR and Aaron/Soh, INA MD who fielded a full team was still unable to capitalize on it.

 

Looks like Carnando/Marthin won't make it. Not hopeful for Asian Games.

 

Leo literally carrying daniel for g2

 

I've stopped watching since the G2 interval, I prefer to accompany my daughter to watch SpongeBob SquarePants.
Let me know if there is a miracle..

 

Question:
Is the mandatory minimum tournaments for top 10 players still applied to WT500 like this one?
What does the regulation exactly say regarding this matter now?

 

My god all the Indonesia players match pattern are the same .

Blown away in G1, trails in G2 And end the game with a winning tight deuce.

Surely not ?!!
