The closest one was two years ago. They won India Open and Malaysia Open 2017. But, they were stopped in SF Singapore Open.
Well then even when the best players playing non-stop for weeks, it's bound to take its toll at some point. btw will these players get extra points from parcticipating in this TYK tournament or not?
Yes, winning against higher rank opponent will earn more points. The calculation is largely based on players' ranking point.
Tsuneyama may have won, but I really liked Rhustavito's fluid and soft racquet-work. It's the first time I have seen him play.
Rhustavito is underrated, he beat Jonatan Christie in djarum superliga final. He also won Vietnam open 2018 (which I watched live btw) He really has good smashes.
Correct, only MS is strecthed into three games and the most interesting to follow. Vito took opening game convincingly then trailing badly, 2-9 then he's trying to catch up and closed the gap, his effort didn't succeed at the end and contributed losing in third game. 11-7 leading then Tsuneyama grabbed 11 consecutive points to 11-18, definitely stamina issue and endurance here in 75 marathon match. HKG v CHN line-up Hong Kong replaces Ng Ka Long, Cheung Ngan Yi with Lee Cheuk Yiu and Yip Pui Yin respectively while China doesn't field Du Yue/Li Yinhui.
Actually, Tse Ying Suet hasn't play a single match throughtout this year. I don't know what happened to her. Does she among the HKG team in TYK Cup?
