Can someone fr S'pore answer this?

[Adel]

Hihi... can someone from S'pore who saw the s'pposed telecast of Fri the 13th's Korean Open on Sportscity tell me if it was really the Korean Open (or wazzit the J-Open instead?) In either case, which events?

Thanks a mil,
Adel

It was the Korean Open finals featuring the men's and ladies' singles only.

[just me:)]

I t was Korean Open

Did you record it Fred, if you did try to make copy for me.

Costs not so high as I live next door where Astro never tells

you what and when they broadcast.I can give you in return

some of matches you missed or always wanted to see.

[Adel]

Sigh... haven't they shown this before? At least I dun feel so bd abt missing it then.

[Al]

Yup, Korean Open 2001. I think they've repeated for what, 3 times?

[Cheung]

I fell asleep watching it. Yawn.
It's not worth the tape...(IMO)

[Bbn]

Cheung I'm just curiousI know if Xiao Hui and Pi Hong Yi have any potential.

[Fred]

Pi Hongyan was not featured.She was in the finals of the Swiss Open.
The ladies' singles final was bet. CM & Kim Ji-Hyun.
IMO Xiao Hui has potential (how much remains to be seen), juz like a rough diamond, with time & polish it could sparkle.

[Bbn]

Well Fred, one day Xiao may become a Yang Y or Zhao ZH

and I wouldn't want to miss seing his early rise to fame.Well, I

agree with Cheung, I,ve seen too much of CM already.

[Adel]

Xiao Hui, I s'ppose, is one of those late starters. He's already 25/26 this year. A lot of the Chinese players that retired after the Olympics were about this age.

[Bbn]

Oh oh, that means I might never get to see him play again.

[Al]

Xiao is in the same batch as Luo Yigang, Chen Gang cs. But with the retirement of Sun Jun, Dong Jiong & Chen, Xiao could probably be seen in action for a while if he proves himself worthwile. But looking at his latest performance...
