The form Gade is in right now is very impressive: Beating 4 malaysians IN Malaysia. I hope he beats LD

[brandonwong]

Just back from the badminton hall..being there since 6 pm just now and now it's already 12 am.... Lee CW showed very impresive game... he beat tAUFIK STRAIGHT SET, WITH SECOND SET 15-0.. can u believed it? as usual, all the chinese players advanced to semifinal round.. feel dissapointed because cannot see Lin Dan playing due to Chen HOng's withdraw... :-( Hope can see him playing in semifinal..cheers

MS:
Lin Dan (Chn) vs Peter Gade (Den)
Bao Cunlai (Chn) vs Lee Chong Wei (Mas)
final:Lin Dan (Chn) vs Lee Chong Wei (Mas)

Peter Gade v Lee Chong Wei

I bumped into Chong Wei at the SIS not long after his loss. He was all packed up and ready to go (back to KL). He was determined to make amends during the MO by returning home to train harder!

WS:
Zhu Lin (Chn) vs Li Li (Sin)
Zhang Ning (Chn) vs Yao Jie (Ned)
final:Li Li (Sin) vs Zhang Ning (Chn)

Li Li (I'm biased) v Zhang Ning

But Zhang has always been fantastic and she should win. ;)

[Han]

I think Peter Gade has a lot to prove as he has been on the losing side against Lin Dan for so many times, for that I'll pick Peter over Lin Dan. As for Lee Chong Wei vs Boa Chunlai, it will be a close one(just like many thought LCW against Taufik :-)) but LCW shall win.
The rest of the picks are easy, I just don't want to see "All Chinese affair" so for :

this is really what i hope for :D :D :D and i also hope that the english pair can concentrate on this match and not bothered by what happened in london...:(

Quoted by The Star:
Malaysian Open squad shaken by deadly blasts:
KUALA LUMPUR: English players taking part in the ongoing Malaysian Open badminton championship at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium are distressed by the bomb blasts in London on Thursday.

The horrific explosions that rocked the London underground and brought transport services there to a standstill has shaken the 13-member squad.


But they are putting up a brave front.

“We just could not believe what we were hearing and seeing on television. Our mobile phones were ringing, and we were calling home. The situation was tense at our hotel,” said women doubles player Gail Emms yesterday.

“It is awful, to be here and hoping and praying that everyone we know is safe back home. My friend was just a mile away from one of the bomb blasts. It is fortunate though that most ofour family members are not staying in London and we are thankful that our friends are safe.”

Women doubles players Ella Trip and Joanne Wright, however, were the most frantic.

“Ella's husband and Joanne's fiance were working in London at that time. Naturally, they were very worried. Both their loved ones are okay but they had to wait a very long time before they could go back home,” said Emms.

She said there was nothing much she and her teammates could do except pray for those affected back home.

“I had to play (in the mixed doubles with Nathan Robertson) immediately after the incident (on Thursday). And it was not easy to concentrate what with the fear and anxiety over what had happened. But we have to go on and complete the matches here,” she said. Emms and Robertson won the silver medal in the mixed doubles at the Athens Olympic Games.

[sunzhi]

WS, Zhang Ning leading 10-3..
Zhu Lin vs Li Li 0-0

[stabber]

if zhang ning wins quickly and li li and zhu lin are still playing, will they play the mens singles on the empty court?

[MadaMadaDane]

is MS starting soon??

[sunzhi]

Zhang won the 1st game...
Zhu serves, 3-1

[sunzhi]

if zhang ning wins quickly and li li and zhu lin are still playing, will they play the mens singles on the empty court?

probably.. they started zhang vs yao match when the xd match ws still playing...

[crosstrainer]

is Zhu Lin younger than xie? she looks a bit more "fresh." :)

Li Li is getting clobbered... amazing drops..

[stabber]

hm..then the viewers might miss the gade/ lin match or the chong wei/ chunlai match right?

[sunzhi]

yao jie leading 4-1
zhu 8-1

[tutu_h]

if zhang ning wins quickly and li li and zhu lin are still playing, will they play the mens singles on the empty court?

u r just as impatient as i am.;) ;) btw, they won't do that, they will have to follow the schedule coz the crowd r those that pay the money to watch. just imaging what will u feel if u came just purposely for certain MS match on-time and found out that they have already finished the first game.

[sunzhi]

i think gade ws simply out of gas in the last game, trailing at 0-8, gained 5 points and within minutes, game over...

[wl2172]

i think gade ws simply out of gas in the last game, trailing at 0-8, gained 5 points and within minutes, game over...

A monumental effort considering what he had to go through to meet Lin Dan. My highest respect to Gade.

2nd game, indo leading 4-0....

[wilfredlgf]

Just came back from watching LCW vs Bao CL.

Although I'm happy with LCW's victory but was kinda uneasy about the questionable line calls in his favour. I kinda thought it destroyed Bao's concentration.

I truly hope it doesn't repeat tomorrow in the finals, I won't like to win in controversy. :(

[MadaMadaDane]

does anyone know y the couch splitted Sang Yang n Zhen Bo?

they were quite good as partner.


if not mistaken i think bo is injured

my girl (who's a lin dan fan) is not too optimistic about tomorrw's match, simply because she thinks that the line judges will be biased... ugh... we'll see.

[tutu_h]

sunzhi, how is the MD score now???

[crosstrainer]

[tutu_h]

[tutu_h]

[crosstrainer]

how about the game between Cai/Fu and Alven/Luluk???
just about to start, i think

they let md and ld play at the same time
zhang and yang won over zhang and zhang

i think cai and fu are up next

[wilfredlgf]

zhang and yang won over zhang and zhang

The last I watched this game, halfway through first set - I thought Zhang/Yang were simply too powerful for the Double Zhangs, as if they're just having a practice game or something.

[SteveStanley]

Wow, congrats to Candra/Sigit, they are pretty consistent now, too bad that they missed the Olympics, they had a chance - I think

[tutu_h]

just about to start, i think

zhang and yang won over zhang and zhang

i think cai and fu are up next

thanks, means that the timetable has changed coz from the website, it stated that both MD start at the same time.

[crosstrainer]

oh goodie! MD on tv court :)
i hope this will be a more exciting match than the *yaaaawwwnnn* LD china vs. china

[wilfredlgf]

For some reason, when the power & ability factor is too lopsided, the better team would do more mistakes than usual. I don't recall Zhang/Yang playing that 'poorly' before. :)

[poSSeRR]

when is the other WD huh. how come not playin in the other court. haha.

[sunzhi]

that's fast.. just gt back from a drink and it's gameover..

yeah, espec in the later part of game 2 and game 3. but to be fair, there were few dubious calls in favour of bao too.. i hope it ws the linesman judgement problem rather thn being bias...

[sunzhi]

[extremenanopowe]

Singles as predicted. Going to be interesting. Still the local boy will have an upper hand.
what say you?:D
Looks like another "Jaguh Kampung" in the making. Agree?:crying:

[happy go lucky]

I am glad I went to KLBA. LCW gave a sterling performance which brought tears to my eyes. The young man has all the qualities: mental toughness, stamina, killer instinct, attitude, maturity, fitness, and yes sir, a variety of jump smashes. Li Mao has transformed him into a lean mean all-out-attacking machine. Not to take anything away from Bao Bao, he played well but lack stamina- he looked visibly tired at times. It was a match of 2 heavy weights slugging out, taking and giving cuts at each other.

I have my tickets ready for tomorrow’s finale. Guess I am losing sleep tonight. It is gonna be another nail-biter against Super Dan

you're right about that... they did look like a couple of heavy (or maybe light/featherweight) boxers giving their all. there were moments when either player looked out of the match, and then surprising us with amazing shots, a string of points or a stupendous come-back :)

the match looked amazing on tv... what more there?

[legendarycroc]

what were the final scores for gade vs lindan?

As far as I can tell, there was only one mistake made in favour of Lee CW, and it was a very close call, too. As for the others which Bao complained, I think the judgements were correct. Nevertheless, it was all very close. I am all for technology (with line-judges as backup).

Did Chen Hong give the game to Lin Dan?

What does W/O mean?

W/O means "walkover".

The story is that it was a back injury. This close to the Worlds, it's hard to fault someone for being cautious but as the Q/F thread discusses in detail, this happens too often in games between Chinese competitors.
