This is a relatively small s300 tournament but it seems to attract stars like SYQ and NKL.
Well done to the winners.
Indonesian MD did well against TPE.
I mention this tpe lin resembles lindan long ago. Up to him if he can maintain consistency.
Ng kl is not a pushover. Lzj lost to him. Lzj also no luck playing vs good players in mo n im.
Lsf reminds me of chen hong. Need to cut down on wild shots.
This is the last leg of the 1st 3 tournament series. Congratulations to the winners. It is a S500 series but still attract some top players.
Notable mentions. Big guns like Koba, Alfian, AC/SWY, Minions, LKY and LZJ did not perform well. Some due to injury or excuses of tired etc.
He did well to beat SYQ in semis.
She is the best performer of the 3 series so far.
This is a S750 event. Congratulations to the winners. Upset day as the expected champions were dethroned.
ASY did well to beat Yama. She did lots of good slice shots to kill yama. ASY must attack more in future coz she is much taller and stronger now. Matured.
Vitid did extremely well to beat Viktor. An aging sign perhaps from the tall Champion?
Other notables. Minions still recovering. Many still waiting for Malaysia MD to win a tournament like LKY. LKY seems to have a mental block against Vitid? Vitid also did well to beat Ginting in Semis.
This tournament has been upgraded from s750 to S1000 in January. A 1st bwf event. All the top players were there except for Momota who was down with flu.
I was lucky enough to get a free ticket to watch live in Axiata Hall on Round 16 Thursday. The atmosphere was fantastic. Better the Sg Open.
Notable matches are minions lost to china young pair. Laksha lost to Pranoy. Lzj lost to up coming Naraoka. Naraoka qualifies for final after having a titanic 1.50 mins match vs Vitid. Marin beat Sindhu 1st round. Daren beat Popov but injured vs Viktor. Yuta is not consistent. ASY grown taller. Need to smash more.
Alfian and Ardian winning first S1000 tournament. The rest are very dominating and expected to win. Congratulations to all. I managed to take photos with badminton stars too. Visual effect. Great job by Yonex. I hope lining will follow in Sg open. Wakaka.
Next is India open s750 in Delhi. See who is still standing on podium.
A little bit expected on the winners. Not much surprises. $1.5M tournament.
Viktor is unbeatable still in final.
XD, MD, WD china is solid.
Yamaguchi did well to last longer than TTY. Solid 1st woman to do a treble WC, WTF, AE..
Great wins for all the players. Malaysia WD did a history by winning the 1st WD titles here. Congratulations. Be hungry.
Jojo had cramps and have to give a walk over. Wasted. Viktor did no wrong this time against LKY which is expected. China XD almost lost in a nail biter. They did well to come back.
German open next... smaller scale.
After a long break after Japan Open and some Tournaments cancellation in China due to Covid, Denmark Open is back. Congratulations for all the winners. The only notable match highlight is Loh Kean Yew beating Viktor in 2 sets. This fishy thing here is that Viktor makes it easy for LKY. No one expected this.
Fajar and Alfian is still in good form.
A great win for Shi Yu Qi to win the singles crown. Hbj did well to beat CYF. Minions did well to try making a comeback.
French Open next.
