Live stream: Catch the Victorian Open Badminton Championships with KommunityTV (Badminton Victoria Open)

Gronya Somerville and Kenneth Choo showed off their promising partnership - but it wasn’t the only success the duo enjoyed at one of Badminton Victoria’s premier tournaments. Relive the action.

Top seed Tiffany Ho fought back from a game down to beat second seed Louisa Ma and win the Victorian Open badminton women’s simngles title on Sunday.

But her bid for a double celebration was thwarted in the women’s doubles by the powerful pair of Joyce Choong and Gronya Somerville in straight games.

Somerville had earlier combined with Kenneth Choo to take the mixed doubles title for the loss of only 18 points.

Choo also picked up a second title later in the afternoon when he and Ming Chuen Lim won the men’s doubles crown.

Meanwhile, second seed Jacob Karl Schueler knocked over men’s singles top seed Nathan Tang in three games, 16-21, 21-9, 21-11.

In the under-15s junior state championships on Saturday, top seed Smrithi Adepu won her final in straight sets over underdog Kaitlyn Rodrigues.

In the boys, Victorian junior state performance program member Christopher Go, comfortably pulled clear of challenger Tianyi Zeng in the gold medal match.

PREVIEW

Badminton Victoria communications manager Olivia Na expects this weekend’s Victorian Open to produce some excellent performances.

Victoria have been the leaders in producing badminton players in recent times, winning nine national titles in a row in the teams championship.

The U15 team won on the national stage this year.

“Victoria has a lot of depth in terms of the national level of the sport,” Na said.

Commonwealth Games player Gronya Somerville will be competing.

“Victoria is probably considered if not the best, one of the better state or territories in terms of level of competition.”

News Sport Network managing director Michael Wilkins said the Victorian Open was a welcomed addition to the KommunityTV live streaming portfolio.

“The Victorian Open provides us with a unique opportunity to bring badminton to a wider audience,” Wilkins said.

“KommunityTV fans will be able to watch some of the nation’s best talent in action across the weekend. It will give the public an up-close view of athletes who will likely pull on the green and gold in Paris in 2024.

“It is also a chance to see the next generation which could make its mark on the road to Brisbane 2032.

“This event marks our first foray into live streaming badminton, an Olympic-level sport which fits into the grassroots ethos of the KommunityTV brand. We can’t wait to watch the fast-paced action unfold.”

So what can people expect when they watch the best players go at it?

Jacob Schueler was also an Aussie representative in Birmingham.

If you haven’t watched badminton before, expect a lot of action and speed.

“When people think of badminton, they think of school sports, and PE classes or having a hit in the backyard or park,” Na said.

“What people may not know in high level badminton is that it is a fast, dynamic game. There are so many variations in terms of shots and the way the shuttlecock may move.

“It is considered one of the fastest racquet sports in the world.”

And Na said crowds can go crazy during games.

“It’s a louder place than what you are used to seeing at tennis events where it is dead silent,” she said.

“If you are watching badminton at international level, it is just madness, it’s loud, noisy there are chants going on even in the service.

“So much noise.”
