SG Open XD pictures day 01

[storkbill]

Was told that BIG LENS NOT ALLOWED :confused: Luckily I brought along a smaller lens. Maybe Ants can check with the organisers on this policy?

Easy match for Robertson-Emms.

KKK is dangerous when smashing and won points when smashing. However, the English pair hardly ever lifted the shuttle, preferring instead to play tight net exchanges. Kellogg, being very tall, had good reach and kept the pressure on at the net.

And what's this with the headband :) Another Nathan Robertson?

I wonder what's wif the world top ten men doubles kkk n women doubles wong pei tty arent able to get at least top 30 for mixed double..

I watched them play at the commonwealth games with the same british pair..
They seemed to have not done well in communication... kkk was eager to take most of the shots while pei tty almost crash into him a few times...

So what happened to the sleeveless tops everyone was wearing at the Uber Cup? Are Commonwealth countries still averse to such racy displays? The Japanese, German, Chinese, Korean and Singaporean women were all sleeveless in Japan. Maybe the air-conditioning in Singapore made those outfits too cold.

I was told the same silly thing about large camera lenses in Anaheim last year, I believe their criteria was that the lens couldn't be longer than 6 inches. lame! I'll have to see if I can get a press pass next time:-)
