..with what they have now in their camp, yes, she's probably the most consistent one, as of recently...Hope we(at least i am) can see her play tomorrow in the Final(haven't seen her play before), IF INA can pull through..:p

[huangkwokhau]

come on...come on..18-15 for Maria..crucial moment

[huangkwokhau]

[baldybodhi]

[tommy_bun]

Go Go Go tracey

[huangkwokhau]

[huangkwokhau]

4 points in a row for Hallam..unbelievable...19-18

[keanny]

ahhhhhhhhhhh kalahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh grrrrrrrrrr maria lost to terasi -.- huhh.. males nonton -.-

[huangkwokhau]

I am so dissapointed..Hallam got 6 points in a row....I hope Maria learnt how to finish the point... 2-0 for ENG

[zqloy]

Maria just doesnt hv the finishing moves, keep lobbing the shuttle to Tracey.... haiz.....

[huangkwokhau]

67 minutes...the longest match so far during SC....told you that Hallam is good player...cant underestimate her...

[KillerT]

weee are the champions...

[tommy_bun]

terasi won.....

[bananaboy]

Now, Andrew Smith will ride on the momentum and make history...LOL!!!:p:D:D:D

Seriously, now the advantage and momentum are on England side... Gail and Donna will win their match and make it England 3:1 Indonesia!!!:D:D:D

[Makkem_1]

get in!!!
Indo are going home!

[cooler]

ahhhhhhhhhhh kalahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh grrrrrrrrrr maria lost to terasi -.- huhh.. males nonton -.-
u seem shocked?

[DoublesPlayer]

I spoke too soon ... Maria is weak mentally ... she should have won in the second and third set ... too bad ...


..but i sure was pulling for her to play and give it a shot..;):cool:

[keanny]

i am shocked -.-! boo.. no indo cant go home noww.. i've promised to my zhongguo friends that we'll meet on final! lol -.-

[hcyong]

After seeing the match order and lineup, I predicted ENG to lead 2-0 at this point. But Maria was close. Both games, she had the lead and lost it.

INA to win the next two. MD will be interesting; I pick INA to pip it by a nose.

u mean by a nose hair LOL

[shuttlejunkie]

Outstanding gutsy performance from Tracy. Probably one of the best of her career, taking into account she's just back from injury etc. Excellent stuff from England.

i believe INA will take the next 3 points and grab a place in a final.. :)

[Makkem_1]

going home,
you're going home,
Indo r going home! he he he!

[but AS is going to get filletted first!] lmao!

[freelast]

Andrew Smith built up a 6-2 lead quickly

[badMania]

Just came back from watching both games on HK Cable TV...decided to go back early to my room.

Maria SHOULD HAVE WON! She lead 16-11 in the second set, only to be caught.....yet again she lead 18-14....again, Tracey showed her fighting spirit. Sigh....well..I predicted that INA would trail by 0-2 at this stage. Let's see what the others are made of....mental baja or mental tofu....:cool:

[freelast]

then 10-5 Smith leads

[Makkem_1]

cool, go AS! Take a set from Taufik!

[tommy_bun]

I dont expect Andrew takes this game

[ctjcad]

I spoke too soon ... Maria is weak mentally ... she should have won in the second and third set ... too bad ...
..well, no one, at least most people, predicted Maria would win...I certainly did not, but at least she got a good taste of what high pressure competition/situation is all about..I think it's partially mental(she wouldn't have gotten those leads in the last 2 sets and wouldn't have won the 1st set without some fight) and partially experience(couldn't close out the last 2 sets)...She showed she's a battler, at least..;)
Btw, good to hear from you again, DoublesPlayer..;):)

[ctjcad]

i believe INA will take the next 3 points and grab a place in a final.. :)
..will be counting on your words to come through...hehe:p:D;)

[huangkwokhau]

going home,
you're going home,
Indo r going home! he he he!

[but AS is going to get filletted first!] lmao!

Be nice....dont be mean!! you will be banned like saugulis:mad::mad:...thats disgusted!!

[Makkem_1]

I DON'T EXPECT as TO TAKE A SET... BUT HE'S STARTED REALLY WELL, THERE'S HOPE!

[ctjcad]

Maria SHOULD HAVE WON! She lead 16-11 in the second set, only to be caught.....yet again she lead 18-14....again, Tracey showed her fighting spirit. Sigh....well..I predicted that INA would trail by 0-2 at this stage. Let's see what the others are made of....mental baja or mental tofu....:cool:
..is the INA team playing with fire or what, with their lineup??:p:rolleyes:...The XD's loss put a lot of pressure on the rest of the squad and now they're 1 loss away from joining the MAS squad at the airport for an early flight home..:p;)..

[Makkem_1]

Be nice....dont be mean!! you will be banned like saugulis:mad::mad:...thats disgusted!!

nOT SERIOUS - TEASING, BANTER!:rolleyes:

[huangkwokhau]

AS played well against LD in tight game as well...now with TH...

[Makkem_1]

What's The Score?

[Krisna]

Taufik leading 19-18!

[huangkwokhau]

19-19 all now.come on TH!!!

[Makkem_1]

come on, AS! TAKE THE SET!

[huangkwokhau]

AS is leading 20-19 now

[Makkem_1]

Come On, 2 More

[Krisna]

20-20! Tough match!

[huangkwokhau]

20-20 all for both......

[Makkem_1]

please!............................p

[ctjcad]

..ok, i'll be logging off shortly(for other priorities):p..i'll keep the update with our brother huangkwokhau to give me the latest scoop(this time it's his turn to give me the updates-hehe:);))...have fun and good luck to INA!! And may the best team wins!!;):cool:

[Makkem_1]

come on andy, you can take it!

[Makkem_1]

wth going on?...............

[huangkwokhau]

TH took 1st set...22-20....lets see how AS is going to play in 2 nd set...

[badMania]

Taufik is playing dangerously....but he won the first set 22-20.
Come on...give me the 9 points for my PAW :cool:

[Krisna]

Andrew Smith leading Taufik in the Smash Winner 8 to 4...

and Net Winner department 8 to 4...

...yet just lost the first game...

[cooler]

andrew got rob on a bad line call, it was so inside the line on taufik's side

[Makkem_1]

imo that it's taufik's now....AS missed a golden chance
the surprise factor of not having played AS before is gone... taufik should wrap it up in 2

[huangkwokhau]

1-1 to start for both....

[Krisna]

What's The Score?

Makkem, you can go to www.tournamentsoftware.com (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com) :) Then look for Sudirman Cup. They provide livescore there...

[tommy_bun]

Taufik will make it asier in the 2nd

[huangkwokhau]

Taufik is playing dangerously....but he won the first set 22-20.
Come on...give me the 9 points for my PAW :cool:

Are we playing PAW???:crying::crying:..I do not know that....:crying::crying:

[huangkwokhau]

..ok, i'll be logging off shortly(for other priorities):p..i'll keep the update with our brother huangkwokhau to give me the latest scoop(this time it's his turn to give me the updates-hehe:);))...have fun and good luck to INA!! And may the best team wins!!;):cool:

you bet...eventhough I will be cooking....will send you SMS....:D:D

[huangkwokhau]

still even 4-4 for AS/TH

[samuel882]

TH is always a moody players.. he always struggling to win especially when he doesnt feel like to play...

[kwun]

taufik doesn't look very motivated...

[Makkem_1]

is Taufik losing his cool?

[kwun]

andrew smith is kinda slow. he is always late!

[freelast]

Indonesia WS has never won any, Neither has England's MS.

[avataar]

TH shud take the singles , will make the WD intersting viewing.....

who's ur money on ppl????

[badboypedi]

normally, england is famous for its doubles, but andrew smith tells us another thing...he plays very well, its impressive

[cooler]

is Taufik losing his cool?
he is relying too much on his slice spin serve returns

[ronk]

Wow, England is the surprise team here. England defeated Malaysia and am leading against Indonesia. Smith was robbed of his game point by a bad call.

[badMania]

From 5-6 down, Taufik won 6 consecutive points and lead 11-6 at the interval.

[huangkwokhau]

11-6 for TH during interval

[Makkem_1]

come on AS, let's go, make history!

[huangkwokhau]

Wow, England is the surprise team here. England defeated Malaysia and am leading against Indonesia. Smith was robbed of his game point by a bad call.

It is even as INA XD was robbed also....otherwise 1st set was won by INA...

I think it is time that we need Hawk eyes like Tennis....to be fair!!

[huangkwokhau]

AS adds 4 points to 10-11

[ronk]

TH leading by 11-10. Smith is catching up. Another close game.

[badboypedi]

come on andrew!! i want england to be in the final!!!

[huangkwokhau]

whats wrong with TH? now 11 all....haiya!! is he on strike????

[kwun]

come on AS, let's go, make history!

unfortunately, i think the odds are against him.

[ronk]

Let us hope that this will go to the rubber and be nail bitting close like the first two matches.

[Makkem_1]

oh, i'd love it if AS wins!

[freelast]

Wow, England is the surprise team here. England defeated Malaysia and am leading against Indonesia. Smith was robbed of his game point by a bad call.

Taufik won against Park in the same way. Taufik even earned 2 points by his 1 long fault smash. Park got nothing but a yellow card.

[keanny]

no! i want INA to be in the final

[Makkem_1]

unfortunately, i think the odds are against him.
agree, i think he is playing above himself...is age catching up with Taufik?:eek:

[kwun]

whats wrong with TH? now 11 all....haiya!! is he on strike????

he is like taking a stroll in the park. very relaxed.

[keanny]

wohoo 18-12 for taufik.. go go.. 3pts to go!

[Makkem_1]

too bad... i hoped he'd make it close

[freelast]

It is the most weird thing in history! How come Taufik earned 2 points by 1 fault?

Anybody watched the game and knows why?

[ronk]

TH is now leading 19-14. Come on Smith, make it a rubber.

[keanny]

1 pt! go grab it!

[Krisna]

INA-ENG: 1-2!!! Thank you Taufik!

[keanny]

INA-ENG:　１－２　pls INA WD!

[avataar]

It is even as INA XD was robbed also....otherwise 1st set was won by INA...

I think it is time that we need Hawk eyes like Tennis....to be fair!!


close line calls will always be part of the game, that element of a human mistake is part of what makes the game exciting.

TH wins, come on INA

[Makkem_1]

score?...........

[Krisna]

22-20, 21-15! Taufik, you're still the man!

[ronk]

Now comes WD. This should be close if GE is not tired out by the long XD.

[keanny]

does anyone know the head to head between vita/polii and kelog/emms ?

[Bao]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH INDONESIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

1 point from Taufik

YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[Krisna]

score?...........

Makkem, just visit www.tournamentsoftware.com (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com) Go to Sudirman Cup, look for livescore...

[keanny]

taufik gitu lhoooooooooooooooo

[badMania]

Taufik Hidayat makes it 1-2 for INA....as he beat Andrew Smith 22-20, 21-15 in just 35 mins. He looks very very relaxed...all smiles. Let's see if Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa can level the score at 2-2....the key is not to let Gail Emms dominate the net!

[badMania]

does anyone know the head to head between vita/polii and kelog/emms ?

2-0 for Greysia/Vita.

[huangkwokhau]

okay...now 2-1 for ENg...very critical WD...INA must win.....

[Bao]

I just waked-UP and shocked by looking at the score of 2-0 for ENG, its an UPSET :(

[ronk]

I wonder how much of a home advantage England has. Even though the event is in Scotland, Scotland is part of United Kingdoms and so England basically has home court advantage.

[Krisna]

Vita-Greysia!!! C'mon girls, 2-2 for INA! Then let our MD do their thing...
