[@brandoncheah3954]

I really love the chemistry that Watanabe/Higashino have...they look so comfortable playing with each other and seldom ever get upset with each other. Even in the matches they lose, you can see them always encouraging each other. Everyone should model their attitudes after them! CONGRATS to the back to back ALL ENGLAND CHAMPIONS!

1:10:55 is Watanabe trying to hold Higashino’s hand? This is too cute🥺

[@jonathanlee8517]

Been trying to ship those two in a long time now lol

[@QuyenNguyen-pt7zf]

There have been more and more sweet hugs between Watanabe and Higashino after every win since the Olympic's Bronze Medal match. Hmmmm can't wait to see your future.

[@hoangyen147]

Remarkable game and pure pleasure to watch my two fav pairs. My heart dropped down and bounced back so many times. Higashino was the ⭐ of the day. Great spirits all four of them. It's important for us as audience to enjoy the game but to me, it's even more important that the players can enjoy themselves playing it. And as I saw today, they did.

[@tiendatdang]

Higashino net play and defensive improvement are the keys today. Such a wonderful and intense match.

[@menvevo8111]

I knew Higashino could still improve a lot and she prove it in this tournament. This Japanese pair will be the pair to beat in the next 3 years, and with Watanabe has stopped playing Men Doubles, they can totally focus on mixed D and become the new legend, I have faith in them.

[@yesman8]

Wow I'm so touched with Watanabe and Higashino's performance, love this pair for many years and they're still great in XD, the Chinese pair is also playing real good as well

[@mv9143]

I'm so happy for the Japanese pair! Great to see them back at the top!

[@kityew23]

I was secretly hoping for a decider cuz I can't get enough of their battle. The last time they met was during the Denmark Open 2021 and it was already an amazing match. THIS is even better!

[@desinta8955]

👍👌

[@georgeradja2418]

Yuta Watanabe is amazing, but Higashino is the star for this match.. She is extremely fast and furious

[@_RoseDawson_]

Honestly, she did good, but that should be expected of her. Among the top 4 XD pairs, higashino is literally always the weakest link.... look at dongping and HYQ, they literally play like men. So, for higashino to perform like this is what should be expected.

[@botakpower13]

the japanese pair is so humble. they often celebrate just with each other every time they score a point. never make intimidating gestures to the opponent.

[@wattfadad688]

yes unlike the danish pair christiansen/bøje

[@dungdavidnguyencong1345]

Very interesting match, outstanding performance from Higashino, her skills, experiences are now much better than 2018-19. Congratulation JP pair.

[@andrewcannon587]

Higashino is the decisive factor in this match.

[@_RoseDawson_]

Yes,,,because among the top XD pair, Higashino is theweakest link,, Huang yaqiong and dongping are almost playing like men....

No matter the outcome, Yuta never deliver a boring match. My most favorite player in 15 years.

[@cartoongamess1]

Idk how Watanabe/Higashino, esp. Higashino, can always turn to a beast mode when it comes to All England Open. They usually have difficulties and have lost many times to the two Chinese pairs in other tournaments, but not at the All England.

[@anneshb6397]

The way two Japanese players come back when they down in their game it's extraordinary and always all japanese shutters have very good in defence

This is a good match and a rare one where ladies outperformed their man partner considering the respective roles.

[@cunninglinguist900]

Hawkeye seems really untrustworthy of late. If you look at YW's shot at 22:08, no way that is that far out.

[@Destiny2097]

It honestly looks like it clipped the edge...and Hawkeye has been wrong many times in the past!

[@engrjoey0611]

completely agree. what hawkeye shown kinda looked liked the shuttle's second bounce if you look at the slomo replay.

[@josephdouglas4214]

Looked a lot closer than the hawkeye image. Great rally that deserved a brilliant winner. I'm glad this decision didn't make the game result change though. What an amazing final.

[@koshilningkanshou1368]

Both team very excellent. I love more Japanese players

[@ariathyf144]

Spectacular improvement from Higashino since first time I watched her win the AE. Yuta focusing on MX must be a big factor of that improvement since his smashes are sharp and strong. Attack variation, speed and coordination is what set them apart. Looks like she can withstand MD level of attacks.

[@tiendo8211]

CONGRATULATIONS TO WATANABE /HIGASHINO

[@fliu5282]

1:03:58 Oh what a shot g*n Higashino fired into Wang/Huang into her heart. Om My God. Good shot.

[@fliu5282]

The Chinese 5Cents and 10Cents are "in shocked". Haaa.

[@_RoseDawson_]

I know that this is a minor thing to nitpick about But... The Wang had been stepping on the line while he was serving He had done it at least 2 times I think. It doesn't have much affect on the game or whatever But I think it's against the rule to do that. They should be more strict and observant about it.

[@lawlm1]

Surely that hawkeye at 22:03 brings questions about hawkeye and its accuracy though

[@heyitsskie]

Not the correct time, but yes I agreed that shot looked directly on the edge of the line or at least very close. Hawkeye said the bird was much further out

[@cassrane5383]

Yep, they need to bring back slow mo of the actual shot.

[@monkeyseemonkeydo1794]

slow mo and the shuttle was right on the line

[@victorkhong7654]

I replayed and froze it many times. That shot looked like it clipped the outside edge of the line. No way as far out as Hawkeye showed it was.

[@zmollon]

Watanabe is so dang good.

Saya perhatikan kelemahan dari Pasangan China adalah mereka saling menyalahkan, kurangnya trust dan kekompakan.

[@g8hejpuq637]

I think Hawkeye needs an upgrade! 🤣 Freeze the frame at about 22:08, and it's nowhere NEAR that far out. Even when the shuttle bounces up, it's further in before it falls outside. Good game.

[@jonathanlee8517]

Guess the shot was just that good, that Hawkeye just couldn't process it lol

[@readonalds6735]

yeah i believe gill was right when she said it was plum on the line. it was that or it was just kissing the edge. There’s no way it was that wide

[@baitekehenry5505]

True I kept replaying it and pausing and it was very hard to call but it looked like it grazed the line...as Gill said would've been the shot of the tournament..

[@luf4rall]

That was really weird. I thought it was in on the replays too.

[@luf4rall]

Well, the line judge called it out and Hawkeye confirmed it. We must not be getting the best view.

[@phamvietnghia5025]

The Chinese audience is impolite. The Japanese team respects the opponent

[@anttiranki3690]

Lần thứ 3 cho yuta và Arisa. Set 3 17:17 watanabe phòng thủ phản công tuyệt vời

[@charlieamorris04]

I think some questions about the accuracy of the hawkeye system need to be asked because that shot at 22:08 is clearly in

[@maylammoc6337]

Well I also think that amazing shot was clearly in...

[@dayat24]

Hawkeye is such an overspec'd yet inaccurate system because it uses sophisticated technology to produce 'predictions'. They should just resort to high quality slow motion cameras and it would be a lot cheaper and a lot more objective.

Congratulation to Watanabe and Higashino. You two played an awesome game.

[@arefahmed7720]

Gill clark says its wang who is better between him and zheng, because of his ability to play better below the tape. But thats possible because of his height. Wang and zheng both are talented players. But the fact that makes wang more flexible and destructive in the backcourt is huang dong ping. Shes really aggressive in the front,takes most of the shuttles early and above all she has a metalic defence! Shes the best among all the female players in XD.

[@anvoeske]

For those of you who weren’t there in person, an audience, I would say he/she “deliberately” took a photo with flash and it literally messed with the Chinese pair. It isn’t shown in this stream / video. This was between 18-17 to 18-19 in game 2. A lot of people noticed it, but Ive noticed they actually don’t do anything about the flash photographies. The judge just announces it, and someone walks over but nothing is done about it. This person has been take photos with flash throughout the entire finals today, even in Viktor’s finals. Not sure if this is related to her being called out for misconduct because I wasn’t paying too close of an attention and the judge suddenly announced it.

[@_RoseDawson_]

Thats sad, if thats true, but cant just discredit the players of their victory just because some random bloke tried to interfere one point or 2 during the game,,,, the plAyers gave their all but today, higasgino played very well, and of course as usual, watanabe... all in all, the japanese pair outclassed their chinese counterpart for todays tournament.... and we should not find any excuses as to why the chinese pair lost..

[@anvoeske]

@@_RoseDawson_ that wasn’t an excuse I just stated what happened that wasn’t shown in stream.

[@_RoseDawson_]

@@anvoeske hmmm sounds to me as an excuse. Otherwise You would not have taken time to specify the details. I mean if you were mere pointing out the fact that some bloke were trying to ruin the game You could have just said: The committee wasn't strict in implementing the no flash policy. Something like that

[@anvoeske]

@@_RoseDawson_ Im giving my view as someone who have attended the event from what may have caused the misconduct but whatever makes you happy.

@@anvoeske lol The reason of the misconduct given to Dong Ping was She was complaining about the service fault called at 18-18 second set. 😂

I think she was complaining about the service fault called at 18-18 of 2nd set,, but if you look at the replay,,, it was indeed a fault...

[@baitekehenry5505]

Can't really tell what the misconduct was about but she was very frustrated with her partners shot selection most of the time that got her in trouble..she got hit by the shuttle many time by her partners poor shot selection

[@ynos91]

Is it just me. OR does hawk eye not work very well? 21:45 - 22:17 . no way in hell it was that far out from hawk eye. I even put the playback speed on 0.25 and constant paused to try to get a better picture. And in my eyes that was either IN or hella close at least. And certainly not that far out at least
