my heart broke when I saw Higashino cried. but still, congrats Zheng/Huang for their achievement

[lucashamilton]

Yutarisa has been in medal position in every Olympics & WCH since 2019. Their time will come, especially when Arisa is getting better and better.
ZSW & HYQ deserve this title as they have been dominant in XD for nearly 5 years, except for 2021 when ZSW suffered from injury.
Congratulations to both teams! Best wishes for upcoming tournaments, especially the Japan Open next week.
🇨🇳🇯🇵🏸💐💥🥇🥈🌸🏆

I have seen at least 3 finals between these two pairs, always happy with their performances. and I saw they greeting each other so friendly at the end of the matches, happy to see that.

[ngalinh]

Very difficult for any pair to stop Zheng/Huang at the moment. A very successful year 2022 for both🙌🙌🙌. Well played Zheng/ Huang🌹🥇🥇🌹👏👏👏. Keep going 💪💪

Although I really wanted the Japanese pair to win their maiden World title, I couldn't see that future. Eventually premonition became reality. Higashino simply couldn't hold up against Chinese relentless attack.

I was impressed by Huang YQ and Huang DP's defence watching yesterday's SF. They defend like a male player. If they are not forced to rely on crouch defence, they can endure hard smashes at least three times. Moreover, they even change the momentum of the rally. In today's final, however, once the shuttle was lifted to Zheng SW, the rally was 90% Chinese. I'm not gonna take any credit away from 2 Chinese players, but this difference is desperately huge to turn over. I really hope she finds some sort of solution in near future.

Congrat to both pair.
Despite love to watch Watanabe/Higashino play matches, but i think Higashino performance today is rather disappointing. Glad to see Watanabe tried to pull the team together but still opponents were simply overwhelming.

Glad to see Zheng/Huang back as a pair and perform like it was before 2020.

[ucchau]

42 match consecutive win ... unbelievable.

[kimloan]

Love you Higashino/Watanabe. I keep loving and support you guys no matter what. 🥳🥳🥳

[longly]

52:57 great sportmanship from Huang and SiWei, lol. Siwei did say sorry to Higashino 🤪

[maisuong]

In the Championship point of Chinese pair, nobody said anythings about Higashino’s defences of two first Zheng Si Wei smashes, most of them blamed Higas for the final weak defence. How fair you are! Nobody saw how hard she tried. Not at all, Higashino! You are the best! Keep fit and win the All England title again, Watagashi!

[yisworld]

Great game ! Love the chinese pair Zheng & Huang !! You’re the best !

[andrewcannon]

Zheng/Huang was just a better XD pair today. Even if we take out the japan's unforced errors, Zheng/Huang would have won it anyway but with a tighter score or in 3 set. As you can see, the chinese pair is doing almost all the attacking. It's difficult to win by defending, even with no unforced error.

[trangnguyen]

Don't cry Higashino! I hope you will become a champion in the next tournament

[mjt]

Congrats to China. Japan is awesome too! There's something about Japan's team work and energy, such a joy to watch.

[Hữu-Nhân-]

I think Higashino cries not because of losing or mistakes. She did not agree with the referee judgments at least 2 times for the high serves of Chinese pairs. After shaking hands with Chinese pair at the end of the match, Yuta pointed to the serve referee which means 'I will remember your face' but then suddenly he came and talked to that referee and Gill also said that Yuta should be careful and not to do that.

恭喜郑思维黄雅琼🎉
希望下一届奥运能拿冠军
日本选手也很努力了。
東野選手泣かないで下さい。
次の試合も頑張って👍

[richardyang]

Japanese audiences are very impressive and courteous as they stood up while Chinese national anthem was played!

[shadyvoid]

dream come true well done my fav pair Zheng and huang

[bangzidanexplorer]

Zheng was so fast chasing the shuttle, he didn't even see him doing a backhand from the back of court

[vinku]

it was a great match. Happy with the result, Japanese pair has done their best, like this pair, they may be the best pair in the future after Huang retire, since she is a lot older player, I will miss her too, she is so good.
