game point 20-12

taufik takes 2nd set

ok guys.. 30 mins and into rubber game..

advice from TH coach, don't be afraid to attack.. :)

Taufik wraps the second set 21-12. It has been a real ding-dong performance by both players. Chen Jin excelled in the first set, but, it was the other way round in the second set. Let's see who has the stamina to last the distance.

This... This is not supposed to happen... argh

but good fight, people will have nothing to say as Taufik put all efforts into it

The young padawan can now take his rightful place in the team to be a full jedi master.

again....taufik only has stamina for 2 sets.... so sad.....

Both must be did a very great game. There is no walkover and they both are so fighting every single point in the third. Congratulation for TH and CJ!!!

Well done Chen Jin, great match!
Hard luck to Taufik - a well fought match but unlucky this time!

Now that my two favrourites have had their game I can relax a bit... Go Chen Jin - win CO!

Chen Jin has really shown a lot of maturity in his game as he takes the set 21-18 and wins the match. The commentators mentioned that Taufik did not look to be bothered and serious through his match.

So, it's all Chinese in the MS semi-finals with Lin Dan vs Bao Chunlai and Chen Hong vs Chen Jin.

Indeed, Taufik did his best really. It was a tough match for both parties -- cheers for both players. I almost ran out of breath watching it.....

bye.......all.......................

Jokes aside, the badminton world can no longer rely on TH to perform his miracles again, his chances for the coming Asian Games look grim all of a sudden...

Kaori Mori VS WANG Yihan now

I don't see why. This was a very very close game, and either of them could have won. Anything can happen at Doha - I wouldn't count Taufik out just yet, he has as good a chance as any :).

my gratitude for LDQ who keep on updating us. See you next time. It's my turn to jump to the baddy court. :)

Yes thanks very much LDQ and others for keeping those of us unable to watch up to date!

Amen to that! The Force is so strong with CJ. He is already a Jedi Master. The Dark Side will not tempt him. :p

Yes, thanks to all that kept us up-to-date. :)

Each time I pressed F5 with bated breath. :p

Hope someone did record the match!

I predict Lin Dan vs Chen Jin final.

Yes...either of them could have won, really. But maybe Taufik will feel a bit bad and sad abt it; some of the last points Chen Jin got were from Taufik's own unforced errors....

The Dark Side of the Force. :D

nice close game, i just hope MS doesn't become like WS or worse still, WD ... :p

Hope someone did record the match!

I predict Lin Dan vs Chen Jin final.

If LD vs. CJ in the Final, man, tough call. Who do I root for? :p

Maybe, but I thought the same about the JO MSF. That doesn't seem to have effected him all that much judging by his performance today. Anyway we can only wait and see.

I predict CJ soon will be able to beat LD, if allowed the stupid LYB. CJ has the court coverage, speed and impressive defense to stop LD from smashing everything down. What he needs is a little better offensive play instead of just counterattacking. He has his age with him and I guess we in a year or two will see this guy rule the MS together with LD or maybe as single king on the throne.

If LD vs. CJ in the Final, man, tough call. Who do I root for? :p

I'll be cheering on Chen Jin :). I'd like to see him win a title for a change, it's been awhile! Besides I think Lin Dan has won plenty already :p.

The Dark Side of the Force. :D

You guys need to get out more.
Maybe meet some girls or something. :D

...what's a "girl"?

13-21 wang-mori

...what's a "girl"?

You know, like XXF, Camilla Martin or Gail Emms!

Hmm, what a party that would be. :D

By the way, does anyone know if the English pair have played in the mixed doubles yet?

Many many thanks! :)

How did you know where the live webcast would be? It seems like it keeps moving, from CCTV5 to GDTV, then this channel on PPStream.

I'm glad I watched the Taufik vs. Chen Jin's match, it was exciting. At one point, I thought Taufik could pull it off, Taufik played superbly in the second set, but Chen Jin won it at the end even Taufik was leading the majority of the third set by a few points. Taufik still has a chance to get on top, it's just up to him whether he wants to fix his stamina or not. Technically, he's outstanding.

Thanks for the updates.

Sadly I can't stream this because I am at work, but I will check here for anymore updates.

Thanks a million.:)

Chn pair wins 21:16,21:16. Now WS starting. You can try CCTV5

So same with the MS, it will be an all-chn semis in the XD as well....
Wang Chen into the semis with Zhu Lin's w.o.

Lu Lan vs Yao Jie.. 3-2

Lu Lan vs Yao Jie 11:6

a lil thought on TH vs CJ match.. the last game is a very interesting match and a close affair which cd end in either way. i thnk TH has given his best and disagree that he didn't care or wasn't serious. just that at the end of the 3rd game, i believe his stamina hs gone down and taken its toll... he tried ending the game bt was slower.. anyway, CJ has shown he is in line to shine.. he has what it takes to be a great player.

wang yihan on the other hand, smd to have lost the game from the beginning, kinda hd a stage fright.. the beginning of the 2nd game saw her giving away ala TH in JO final, 10 plus points in matter of minutes and trailed by 3-17.. though she collected 7 points in a row thereon but it's a lil too late..

maybe too much pressure on lu lan.. too many unforced errors, 4 at the end of the game and yao jie won 22-20.. out of 7 chn WS, there's only ZN in the semis....

well done CJ! :D well done to CH, BCL and LD of course ;)
Andrew Smith as well for getting this far... ;) :D :p

lu lan ws too tensed... yao jie came back from behind in both games and made it to semis, 23-21, 21-19.. and again, only 1 chn in 4 WS semis slot... that's all the matches today...

to the semis:
MS and XD are all chn affairs..
WD - 3 chn and 1 chn taipei
MD - 2 indos, 1 chn and 1 danish pair
WS - chn, hk, hol and jap...

TH vs CJ = Still a warming-up for TH
TH vs CH = This is even easier for TH,:D

Probably do some research first before make any prediction.

Aside from LD and LCW in MS, CJ is the nest most consistent MS player this year.

The worst result he ever get in a tournaments is QF round, lots of SF , few Final and 2 titles. That already say very much compare with others. It quite accomplishment remembering he is only 20 or 21? Can someone confirm his age?

can someone plz tell me the complete information (MD,XD,MS,WD,WS) who will play for tommorrow (Saturday):confused: :confused: ...coz today i'm so busy r, dun hav time to watch the game r:( :crying: ...so i dunno anything bout the schedule for tommorrow..but i do really wanna know bout that...n thank you so much for the attention..:o
hope u all can help me...:o

REally? Where is Mulyo Handoyo?
...Hendrawan??..:confused: :rolleyes: :p :D ;)

Jokes aside, the badminton world can no longer rely on TH to perform his miracles again, his chances for the coming Asian Games look grim all of a sudden...
..i concur sir..;) ..i'd suggest for Taufik to just take the rest of the yr off and prepare for next yr's AE and the rest of tourneys(SS) next yr(that is IF he wants to)...:p ;):)

If LD vs. CJ in the Final, man, tough call. Who do I root for? :p
..yah, that's a tough one(to root for)....If i'm not mistaken, in last yr's CO, Chen Hong won over BCL...Could it be another "'Chen's" turn this yr??..:rolleyes: ;) :)

..aih, just crashed in and just read the posts(didn't watch the match)....:p ..
well, well, not a surprise after all what happened in TH vs CJ match and not surprise it ended this way...By reading the posts of the match, it's probably a very tense and entertaining match. I think in the 1st set, by the scoreboard, Taufik was just reading Chen Jin's game, as i believe this is his first time meeting him. In the 2nd set, i don't know what happened to the score, as it was quite lopsided.
But the 3rd set was the clincher. Sure, Taufik "gave it his all" etc, but sooner or later, even if he would've won the match, i doubt he'll go further in his SF match(considering CH has also advanced)...I think one reason for a closer 3rd set, was possibly Taufik winning the 2nd set with ease/almost no competition, thus he still had enough energy?? I also wonder what would happen if CJ would've given Taufik a much closer game in the 2nd set, wonder if Taufik really had anything left by the 3rd set..

**Another interesting thing i noticed, but it looks like a lot of the posts in this thread have mentioned the word "stamina"(Taufik's) etc. more, in comparison to previous posts in other tourneys...hmm..:confused: :rolleyes: ;) :) :D
