HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2023 - Hangzhou

Congratulations to all the winners. Big Money. Few surprises. Click on the yellow links to see the video highlights. Malaysian Open next in January. S1000.

xd. Zheng and Huang did well to win in the final again. Earlier matches we saw Malaysian pair beating Japan pair for the 1st time in their career.

wd. China did well to win it by beating the surging korean pair.

ws. This is a big surprise to see TTY winning it. She is 29 years old and defying the odds by beating ASY in the semi finals and Marin in the finals. It's a shame we haven't seen Yamaguchi returning from her injuries. ASY also not 100% recovered. So, the Olympics is open for the time being. Anyone can win it as long as they are injury free.

md. Aaron and Soh dissappointed again because they lost in all their matches. The Indian top pair also did not participate in this event. The indonesians also did not do well. Korean world champ did well to beat the WR1 home favourites in 2 games. Perhaps too much pressure for China. Expectation was too high at home.

ms. Viktor lost to SYQ in the round robin game. Ginting looked promising but did not qualify for the semis. Viktor had his revenge in the final and pocketed a cool sum of money for Christmas. This is his record 5th title. He has elevated himself to legend status.

LI-NING CHINA MASTERS 2023

Congratulations to the winners of  the S1000 event. Big money. The big event WTF is next.

xd. Zheng and Huang did well again to beat their arch world champion rival Seo and Chae in a dominating fashion. Straight sets.

wd. Fukushima and Hirota did well to beat the Chinese top seed Chen and Jia in 3 tough games. However, Shida and Matsuyama did well to win it. This is their biggest win. A morale booster.

ws. Nozomi did well to beat Tunjung who won last week's Japan Masters. Too tired perhaps. In the finals, CYF did well to beat Han Yue who gave a WO.

md. He and Ren who won Japan Masters last week did not manage to beat the world number one from India. Liang and Wang did well to reach the final beating the India pair in a close encounter. Exciting 21-19 rubber games.

ms. Viktor pulled out due to injury. LKY got a mental block vs ginting again. LZJ lost tamely to Nishimoto. In the final, Naraoka did well to win this big event.

Japan masters 2023

Well done to the winners. 

xd. Zheng and Huang managed to beat their compatriot in the final.

ws. Tunjung did very well to beat Chen YF. The score seems lopsided and suspicious. 21 12, 21 12. This is her biggest victory to date. Well done.

In earlier rounds, An SY tried to make a comeback from  injury but still cannot beat CYF who qualified for the finals. CYF seems to have the magic to beat Marin all the time. TTY gave a WO to Zhang who lost to Tunjung in semis.

wd. Slightly more exciting with rubber games.

md. He and Re managed to upset Liu and Ou.

In earlier rounds, Aaron and Soh lost in 2 games to Koga and Saito but they lost to Liu and Ou who went to the finals beating Teo and Ong.

ms. Viktor did well to beat SYQ in 2 sets. Quite close. Viktor form looks good.

In the earlier rounds. Ng Tze Yong met Viktor and did well to pull him to 3 games. So did Jojo.

Antonsen did well to beat Naraoka in 2 games but lost to upcoming Kobayashi in 3 games.

The resurging momota who won the Korean masters did very well to beat Gemke in 3 games but lost tamely to SYQ. Probably too tired. This means momota has not fully returned yet.

Chou TC did very well to beat Pranoy in 3 games and then beat Koki. But SYQ got the upper hand on CTC in the semis.
