It must be a very quiet day.

Gade - Palyama (4:0 Palyama has never beat Gade)
Chen 1 - Persson (Persson never won, with losing records)
Chen 2 - Lee ( 5:0 recently, Lee has never won either)

So it will be all one-side match. The only resistance could be from Ayob, who has a 1:2 record against Jonassen. and plus now it's in Denmark, and Jonassen is so eager and energized...

I'd better skip today and wait for the semi-finals

Semi:

Gade - Chen 1
Both players are fast and powerful, but Chen 1 lacks tactics

Chen 2 - Jonassen

by just looking at their player's IBF id number, we will know Jonassen (IBF id 4762) is probably the oldest veteran. Gade is the number 6926, while Chen Hong is the number 9689, Taufik 10337, Lin Dan 50906, Chen Yu 50931... Jonassen beat Chen when he just turned pro. When Chen Hong was dominant during 2002-2003, he beat Jonassen many times. But recently, Jonassen did better against Chen when he becomes older, he has beat Chen twice this year even though Chen still holds the winning records. Chen Hong seemed lost ground early this year, but now, seems regroup and regain his form.

MEN'S SINGLES
Peter Gade vs Dicky Palyama -- should be no problem for Peter.

Chen Yu vs Joachim Persson -- ditto for Chen.

Sairul Amar Ayob vs Kenneth Jonassen -- Kenneth was pushed to 3 sets and won in deuce. Sairul could trouble him today.

Lee Tsuen Tseng vs Chen Hong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Chinese player to win.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen vs Ashley Brehaut/Aji Basuki Sindoro -- the absence of top pairs make it quite easy for Eriksen/Hansen. They should progress to the final.

Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen vs Xu Chen/Zhang Wei -- the young Chinese pair impressed when they took a set from Fu/Cai last week. But, they are up against the experience Paaske/Rasmussen.

Mathias Boe/Joachim Fischer-Nielsen vs Anthony Clark/Robert Blair -- the WC silver-medallist has an edge.

Shen Ye/He Hanbin vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Malaysian pair struggled in beating the English pair. They will face a tough opponent today, but, they should beat the Chinese.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Xu Huaiwen vs Jiang Yanjiao (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- a cracking match...and I am rooting for the German player.

Yao Jie vs Cai Jiani -- ditto, the Holland player is more experienced.

Petra Overzier vs Lu Lan -- the Chinese player to win.

Tine Rasmussen vs Anu Nieminen -- both players have upsetted Wang Lin and Pi Hongyan in the previous round. Rasmussen has a home advantage.


WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg vs Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Jiang/Li is now the only Singaporeans left. The English pair has an edge.

Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nur Sugianti -- a tough match for Rani/Endang...but...they have a chance.

Sara Runesten-Petersen/Julie Houmann vs Kamilla Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk

Pan Pan/Tian Qing vs Jo Novita/Gresya Polii -- the first real test for Jo/Gresya. They have beaten the young Chinese pair before...but..it will be very tough for them.

MIXED DOUBLES
Zhang Wei/Zhao Yunlei vs Rasmus Angor Kristensen/Anastasia Russkikh -- both pairs are unknown at the moment, but, the European pair has beaten Rasmussen/Andersen in the previous round.

Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg vs Jocob Chemnitz/Julie Houmann

Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- a tough match is in store and the INA pair stands a good chance of reaching another semi-final.

Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk vs Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms -- the World Champion should take it.

MEN'S SINGLES
Peter Gade vs Dicky Palyama -- should be no problem for Peter.

Chen Yu vs Joachim Persson -- ditto for Chen.

Sairul Amar Ayob vs Kenneth Jonassen -- Kenneth was pushed to 3 sets and won in deuce. Sairul could trouble him today.

Lee Tsuen Tseng vs Chen Hong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Chinese player to win.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen vs Ashley Brehaut/Aji Basuki Sindoro -- the absence of top pairs make it quite easy for Eriksen/Hansen. They should progress to the final.

Yup.
Yup
Yup.
Yup.

Yup.
Yup.
Hmmmm ... i think the danes have a good chance, especially in front of the home crowd.
Yup.

Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- a tough match is in store and the INA pair stands a good chance of reaching another semi-final.

agree with all of them as well except for this one too :eek: :D homecrowd means alot :rolleyes: :D

MEN'S SINGLES
Peter Gade vs Dicky Palyama -- should be no problem for Peter.
Chen Yu vs Joachim Persson -- ditto for Chen.


Chen Yu might have the upper hand but I will not say "no problem".
Persson seems to be on a rise lately, so this could turn into a close 3 set.
Still Chen Yu is the favorite to win of course ...

Lee TS was leading 14:11 in the 1st game, then suddenly trailing behind without any hope: 15:21, 0:10

Which means after that, Chen Hong got 20:1

What's CH doing?

After 15-15 in game 1, he took game 1 with 21-15

ANd now leading 11-0...

17 Points in a row?!

HAHA! Same post at the same time...


Edit:

13-0

I think Tsuen Seng Lee is injured

Lee TS finally got 1 point in the 2nd game 1:15

Lee TS got 3 points in a row, 3:15

then CH fighting back 3: 16

Too late for LTS, 5:17

fairuz/lin struggling against he/shen...wins 1st game 21-19 now trailing 9-11....

9-12 now....i guess they're still a bit inconsistent

what about Gade and CY...thanks!

9-12 now....i guess they're still a bit inconsistent

not a bit....but they are coming back now.
finger crossed.

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui won the match in three very very close sets lasting 66 mins: 21-19, 20-22, 21-19.

Shen Ye/He Hanbin have the potential to become China's second or third MD pair.

Now, its Jo Novita/Gresya Polii vs Pan Pan/Tian Qing.

Are you watching a TV broadcast, or is there live scoring somewhere?

There is live scoring at: http://scoreserver.danskbadminton.dk/nizedesign/latestscores.cgi?

Does any one know if Peter Gade won today?

The match between Jo/Gresya and Pan/Tian is quite intriguing. The Chinese pair was leading 11-9 at the interval before the INA pair surged ahead with 8 straight points to lead 17-11. I thought they would have wrapped up the match...but...the young Chinese pair didn't give up and managed to level it at 17-17. Jo/Gresya lead again 19-17, only to be levelled at 19-19. Eventually, the INA pair took the set 21-19. Phew...

Jo Novita/Gresya Polii have advanced to the semi-final after beating the Chinese young pair of Pan Pan/Tian Qing in 2 close sets 21-19, 21-18 (44 mins). They will now face Kamilla Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk, a match that they should win!

JR Is on fire at the net!

I see gade as winner too. No other players look likely to beat him at home who are here.

SIN Pair and LL leading in their games.

7-4 to JR/LP

It seems JR is Sponsored by Wilson Now, but LP by Yonex still.

Sin Narrowly leading 11-10

Lu Lan almost ther 17-11 in the 2nd

SIN pair 17-16 up


JR/LP Lead 15-14

ENG Pair now Lead 20-18 in WD.

Other DEN MD and ENG MD coming on other court now.

One game all in WD Now

JR/LP take 1st Game 21-18

JR/LP Outplaying CHN pair so far. CHN pair seem to lack ability to defend deep and place the shuttle. A lot of their lifts are short, and defences not very strong, mistakes when attacking also.

Look to be quite fast and powerful though. Just not fully refined yet.

ENG 10-7 up in both WD and MD

JR/LP 11-11

close at the 2nd game. CHN have too many wide shots, but last is exactly at the corner

long serve, which is good

JR/LP trying to play fast to finish game but CHN Pair better. When they slow pace and move the CHN pair around they (CHN) are happy to chase and chase until DEN finish.

ENG WD lead 15-9

ENG MD trail 13-12

JR/LP 18-13 Down

JR/LP Lose 2nd game 21-14.

ENG WD had 20-18 but now 20-20

Now SIN have Match point 21-20

many times, two CHN are on leftmost, no one can answer the right side of the court. There smash strategy is also weird to me. One smash is powerful, then alternating with no force at all. Strange, how come can win that way

then 21-21, now 22-21 to SIN

JR/LP up 10-5

Other DEN pair Won 1st 21-19

1-0 to ENG in 2nd

Now 23-22 to ENG pair!! what a thriller

24-23 to ENG now

24-24......


13-6 to JR/LP

3-3 in other game

25-24 Eng......

JR has broken about 4 strings in this match so far!!!

WD ENG win 26-24 in Decider.

6-4 to Boe/Fischer against Blair/clark

Wow, the ENG hit the bird to the Chn's court!

JR just broke another string. I tihnk he needs to change his supplier (or stringer!)

they lead 20-14


DEN Vs ENG 11-9

Lee TS was leading 14:11 in the 1st game, then suddenly trailing behind without any hope: 15:21, 0:10

Which means after that, Chen Hong got 20:1

:eek: :eek: :eek: CH's fight back or Lee TS lack of concentration :D ;) :p well done CH indeed :p

JR is too excited after easy smashes...

Flandy/Marissa Vs Laybourn/KRY

Boe/Fischer have match poin 20-15. I think XD should be last match?

Live TV finished now.

Actually, Chen Hong had the easiest win, 21:15, 21:9, allowed 24 points; while Chen Yu allowed 28 points; Peter Gade allowed 32 points; Kenneth Jonassen allowed 37 points. They all win quite easily, as everyone expected. I never seen that kind of undisputed prediction before, and they are all correct. :D

flandy has lost in 1st game 10-21

now 7-4

flandy/vita laybourn/juhl
