Really? All of them retired / WO because of injury? How about all Thai semifinal? Does it mean that Songphon be injured? Well, there is no rule that forbids them to play some strategies. But, it is not nice at all if it is kind of trick.
germans played really well actually...sad that they are not young anymore...kuwichert...any promising german youngsters coming up?
yep - we have Olga! , and some upcoming teenagers are on the way, baddy environment gets a little better. coaches for juniors are doing their job well - we even won some competitions vs. Denmark - but we have to wait
Oh well… Michael played brilliantly. Too bad the Thai pair know a better strategy, cleverly forcing the shuttle on Birgit. The German played much better in the 2nd game, I would say the second game could have gone either way. So don’t despair Kuwichert, should be proud your boys made it into SS final and put on a good fight!
Finally, TH bagged his maiden SS title yesterday. Boe/Mogensen & Yihan won back to back title and 2 titles this time for Thai players. Congrats
Yep Last week was Denmark and Japan, this week Denmark and Thailand Boe/Mogensen finally win after loosers in AE and EuroChamps finals... By winning 2 titles, Wyh confirms her level in spite of defeats in recent tourneys...
TH finally landed his first SS title in eight SS final appearances. The Thais and Germans did well to make the final appearances with the Thais winning the WD and XD matches. MB/CB and WYH won their 2nd SS titles in two consecutive weeks and they gave a very good account of themselves. Congratulations to the winners and the Germans.
saw the XD match..it was brilliant, Sudket-saralee were in top form esp Sudket..and the Germans are not bad too..Their defence was phenomenal
A deserve victory for Taufik. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tDUbBNM6UQ A good showing from China. http://www.youtube.com/user/xtremexn?feature=mhum#p/a/u/1/stdQg1ZbFj8 See you guys in AG.
i think that's Sudket/Saralee at their best elements. super fast and dynamic Sudket with a very calm Saralee. their variation and court awareness is super. both of them made the opponents twist and turn and always find the empty spot. awesome mixed doubles strategy. unfortunately, this style of mixed is overshadowed by the fast and power game played by most other countries.
