Truls dominated!  Was rooting for Gauzy, but wasn't to be.

 

Then what it must be like for Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha to play together in the WD finals and then compete against each other tomorrow in the WS finals.

Aren't the chinese used to that?

[clemsonbeav 206]

I've learned recently that Chinese fans will shout 'jia you' to encourage their players.  But during the WS finals, when both athletes were Chinese, the crowd didn't shout that, probably so as to not sound like they had a favorite or discourage the other.  It sounded like there were some other cheers they had, but I don't know what they are.  Does anyone know what might have been being chanted?

 

Congrats, Sha Sha...now on to the Men's!

[clemsonbeav 206]

That last point of the Men's was insane.  Go watch if you haven't!  Congrats to Truls...first European man to win a Grand Smash!

What a ball to win with!

It really felt like Shidong would come back from 1-3 today again. Amazing game!
