Whats the figures inside parenthesis?? If it is odds.. I think something must be wrong with the
"Hyun Il Lee (Q).......... vs Andrew Smith............. ( 15 - 7 )"

Are you saying you think Smith is the favourite???

I think it is the odds for the match.

it's Scoring Points in PAW Game.
The odds calculation was based on BWF Ranking of badminton players, no relation of betting odds.

Here's the matches involving Team INA (Tokyo Time):

12:40pm Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa vs Tsai Chia-Hsin/Cheng Shao-Chieh -- should be a breeze for Flandy/Vita

1:20pm Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Xu Chen/Zhao Tingting (*) -- contender for match of the round....any match against Chinese opposition is always tough. I think the 2-times World Champion should take it.

2:00pm Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs Ronald Susilo -- both men are in-form, so, it could last the distance

2:00pm Taufik Hidayat vs Chen Hong (*) -- undoubtedly the match of the day and Taufik does still have the edge over Chen Hong.

2:40pm Simon Santoso vs Eric Pang -- should be a straight forward match for Simon :cool:

3:20pm Maria Kristin Yulianti vs Pai Min Jie -- a tricky tie, but, Maria should progress.

3:20pm Adriyanti Firdasari vs Zhou Mi -- Firda is lucky to have advanced to the main draw without playing a single match yesterday. Can she create an upset here?

4:40pm Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Howard Bach/Bob Khan Malaythong -- the defending champion should sail through.

5:20pm Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi -- another wretched tie for AG/Joko. The world champion to win...in 3 sets perhaps?

5:20pm Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto vs Tsai Chia-Hsin/Hu Chung-Hsien -- no bargain here...Luluk/Alvent simply have to win!

6:40pm Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti vs Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda -- Rani/Endang do have problems in matches against Japanese oppositions. They lost to Akao/Masuda in the World Championships. It will be an upset if they can win here...despite their higher ranking.

The Russians are getting better. Both XD pairs managed to stretch Zheng Bo/Gao Ling and Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen. The Chinese pairs eventually prevailed 22-20, 21-9 and 21-17, 21-18 respectively.

Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg also beat Lee Yong Dae/Ha Jung Eun in straight sets.

cmooon vita/flandy....

beat taiwanese XD :)

where's Huang....

is he climbing rock or 'sleeping' in the spa :)

Hau-Ge can't access his computer now :D

http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/2365/91852294zk7.gif where's everybody ? the matches are playing.. there's still no supporter here :)

vita/flandy leading 19:17

Our MAS friends are still busy with their own stuffs :p

Flandy/Vita take the first set 21-17. The Taiwanese are quite resilient though :cool:

It's likely Flandy/Vita will face another Chinese-Taipei XD pair tomorrow.

The Chinese continue to be dominant in all their three XD matches, overpowering their opponents, even the Russians. But England's pair of Clark and Kellogg will provide some stiff opposition.

The Filipino Asuncion siblings XD pair of Kennevic and Kennie were devastated by He Hanbin & Yu Yang 6-21, 16-21.

But the MS and WS matches will start after lunch and many of our BFers will be glued to the screen to hope for a big win with their PAW selections, especially those with big odds.

We don't have to wait long though since Japan is ahead of us in Singapore.
Poor Rudy will be more stressed once the MS matches begin, more so if he has no access to the internet for the results. But surely Sante-Fe has all the necessary connections! :D

He asks me to SMS him all the results :p

Hendra Wijaya/Jiang Yanmei are leading 17-15, despite trailing 12-15 at one stage :eek: Come on Hendra/Jiang!!!

He asks me to SMS him all the results :p

he..he..

he's worried about his PAWs :D

i'm looking forward:

sony vs ronald (LOH.. i hope you are here to support ronald..)
LCW vs Hafidz

Robertson/Emms take the first set 21-19, after a gallant effort by the Singaporean pair.

All players are ready for the battle.

Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa beat Tsai Chia-Hsin/Cheng Shao-Chieh 21-17, 21-14. Another Chinese-Taipei pair Hsieh Yu-Hsin/Chien Yu-Chien should await them tomorrow. Ok...lunch time now....:D

Our MAS friends are still busy with their own stuffs :p
I'M HERE!!!!!!! just finish lecture.. rush online right away.. MAS matches not start yet.. so NO WORRIES..... :D

i'm looking forward:

sony vs ronald (LOH.. i hope you are here to support ronald..)
LCS vs Hafidz

Kawan, Ronald mana boleh menang? Sekarang Sony top form lah!
Dulu boleh lah! :D

is the livescore got problem?? y my livescore cannot be viewed?

Guys, fasten ur seat belt... super LinDan is on court now... :eek:

He asks me to SMS him all the results :p

Yuanto, why you make life so easy for him! Imagine him relaxing in the titillating hot spa just after his rock climbing, with his hopefully 'waterproof' cellphone in hand and reviewing all that you've messaged him before he ponders over his next PAW move. Such a great advantage over us! He is not stressed at all! How not to lose to him?

If he has a can of Carlsberg in the other hand, we might as well give him the PAW JO title, with permission from Sandy of course. :rolleyes:

Roslin Hashim vs Kendrick Lee.... Veteran vs New Kids On the Block.

I think the young lad will prevail... :p

is the livescore got problem?? y my livescore cannot be viewed?

live score is just fine

MAS players are on court!!! :D

camon roslin, my PAW is on you

Peter Gade vs WCH... another marathon battle between the veterans...

All the XD matches have been completed and no upset so far.

Selected matchups for tomorrow's ROUND of 16.
Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg vs Jonas Rasmussen/Lena Frier-Kristensen
Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl
Han Sang Hoon/Lee Hyo Jung vs Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms (MATCH OF THE ROUND)
Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Yu Mi vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir -- contender for the match of the round as well.

Hafiz is gone like a wind :eek:

This Hafiz.. BAM should seriously consider to drop him from the national squad. Trust me, next year local circuit he will lost to local state player for sure.. This year local circuit u can see he mostly play rubber game against "uknown" player..

Sayonara to WCH and kendrick... sad to see them losing but...

cant belif the young lad cant shut down the veteran... Loh, why why why?

My PAW bet is finished. Oh Kendrick, why? why? why? It's all in the mind!
But at least Roslin has redeeemed something of himself. Hope he can advance further. ;)

my PAWs are on court now!! go ronald, ykb, park!! :D

Don't you know. They share the same room and they've made a deal. Secret can't tell. :)

before the match began.. they had played Chess first in the hotel room.. and they agreed who lose in the chess match has to lose in the badminton match too :D :D :p

My PAW bet is finished. Oh Kendrick, why? why? why? It's all in the mind!
But at least Roslin has redeeemed something of himself. Hope he can advance further. ;)

My condolescence :p

Lets see how LCW perform tomorrow against Sony.. This is really a good time for him to pay off the lost in WC

This Hafiz.. BAM should seriously consider to drop him from the national squad. Trust me, next year local circuit he will lost to local state player for sure.. This year local circuit u can see he mostly play rubber game against "uknown" player..

If u watch Kedah Open last week, Hafiz was lucky to walk away with few close wins... Next yr, he will run out of luck :rolleyes:

my PAWs are on court now!! go ronald, ykb, park!! :D

I'm with you only on Park.

This Hafiz.. BAM should seriously consider to drop him from the national squad. Trust me, next year local circuit he will lost to local state player for sure.. This year local circuit u can see he mostly play rubber game against "uknown" player..

My PAW bet is finished. Oh Kendrick, why? why? why? It's all in the mind!
But at least Roslin has redeeemed something of himself. Hope he can advance further. ;)

Kendrick's game is on the rise after beating CJ in SG Open, and I'm (was) 100% sure he could gun down the veteran... quite dissapointed, anyway.

Roslin? nay... dat was the best and last match won in this tourney, as far as I know :p

Lets see how LCW perform tomorrow against Sony.. This is really a good time for him to pay off the lost in WC
so sure its gonna be sony? might be ronald... be careful... Loh is around here.. hehehe

Lets see how LCW perform tomorrow against Sony.. This is really a good time for him to pay off the lost in WC

Why against Sony? U mean Ronald, who was JO Champ 2005, has lost? :confused:

Ronald Susilo leads Sony Dwi Kuncoro 11-9 at the interval of the fist set :cool:

Ronald is gaining momentum now...leading 14-11.
Can Japan Open yet again be his lucky tournament?

Ronald, Ronald, Ronald, repeat your fantastic JO Open 2005 Champion performance! :):):)

I think it should be JO 2004 :cool:

Lee may lose to Andrew Smith... gosh... :eek::crying::crying:

2004年日本公开赛男单冠军，全英赛男单四强；
2003年泰国公开赛男单冠军；

translated as 2004 Japan Open and 2003 Thailand Open Champions.

Ok I got it....

Many upsets are possible now :cool:
Looks like our bet on Kenichi Tago will not materialize.

In my previous post in another thread, I'd predicted either Susilo or Boonsak to walk away with the title... lets see if i am correct :D:p if one of them wins, i'll go buy TOTO :D

very very tight at the moment as Ronald just edges ahead 19-17.

ladies and gentlemen, Taufik and ChenHong are on court now...

Sony at game pt...20-19 :D

I just lost my PAW on Tago but I PAW all KOR MS... PSH is doing fine but both Lee HI & Lee CH look not too good.

Deuce...20-20....

It's now Ronald's game point at 21-20 :cool:

OMG...

SONY kamu bisaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

First game point saved...and now second game point to Ronald at 22-21.

Ronald Susilo takes the first game 23-21 :mad:

Ya-Ha!!! ronald won the first game 23-22. :D

Susilo took the first game... yes yes yes... :D

Sho Sasaki also takes the second game against Chen Jin 21-14.

ladies and gentlemen, Taufik and ChenHong are on court now...

i will be lying on the bed.. this match is worth enjoyed

I think last duel between Ronald and Sony happened in final of Super Liga last July, when Sony won with rubber games. Come on Sony....

I think it should be JO 2004 :cool:

I think you are right.
Excitement got over me! :D

Ronald beat Sony in straight sets at the Singapore Open in May. So, it's definitely a tough match.

sony D is angry, leading 4-1 on 2nd set so far

Come on Lee HI & Lee CH. U guys'd better win... I'm betting on u...

It will be extra motivation for Ronald to beat WC runners-up..
He can beat World No. 1 LD, no doubt about beating Sony as well

sony D is angry, leading 4-1 on 2nd set so far

...and Ronald levels it 4-4.

Ronald Susilo takes the first game 23-21 :mad:

Well done Ronald and keep it up! :D
Sorry for Taufik-ist though. But the match is not over yet! :)

Lee HI is ahead but Lee CH is still trailing...

Common Chen Hong ! Go !

Lee Hyun Il does a comeback...not bad :D

It will be extra motivation for Ronald to beat WC runners-up..

Match pt for Susilo...
Ronald Susilo won it in straight sets 23-21, 21-16 against Sony Dwi Kuncoro.

yEAH.. He is better bet for MAS compare with Kuan Beng Hong :rolleyes:

YKB is leading 20-19......:D:D:D

GAMbateh SASAKI !

I hope Chen Jin lost.. don't know why... Chen Jin become very inconsistent now a day...Before that, he was ok

All eyes are on Sho Sasaki as he comes back from a huge deficit in the third set and is now level at 18-18.

Chen Jin is struggling in the rubber 18-18 against Sasaki.

2nd game point for YKB 23-22................

Poor Yeoh KB as nobody PAWs on him. Now match pt for him.

YKB won after 3rd game point .....25-23......:D

Yeoh Kay Bin won in 21-16, 25-23 over Shoji Sato.
Chen Jin won in 21-6, 14-21, 21-19 over Sho Sasaki.

With Sony out, LCW does not get chance to vindicate his loss to Sony. Ah well, it still augurs well for LCW.

Chen Hong is leading in the 2nd game after narrowly losing the 1st to Taufik.

Hidayat looking shaky at this point playing Cheng Hong.

2nd game point for YKB 23-22................

No point also.. 2 morrow no matter how he will lost also...

No point also.. 2 morrow no matter how he will lost also...

No point ? From his point, it is plenty of points ! He has made up his mind that he wants to win big.

Taufik narrows it to 16-18. Can he upset Chen Hong?

That's a great result for YKB to beat Sato. CJ looked shaky against Sasaki.
TH closing the gap on CH 16-18

Schenk more than holding her own with ZN. Up 11-7 at the interval

Come on CH.. Prove that age is not a problem to u..

That's a great result for YKB to beat Sato. CJ looked shaky against Sasaki.
TH closing the gap on CH 16-18

If TH loses this game, I think he might find it harder in the 3rd.

Two quick points for Taufik makes it 18-19.

ZN closes to 9-11
TH closes to 18-19

Game pt for Chen Hong...20-18

If TH loses this game, I think he might find it harder in the 3rd.

Given his stamina issues, that might be the case but CH is no spring chicken either. TH 18-20 CH

BAO may find Boonsak a handful now that Boonsak is fit. I think Boonsak can beat him today

Chen Hong takes the second set 21-18. It will be a mighty task for Taufik.

Ya..that "ponint" means alot for him to win. To me, he lost today or 2morrow (Taufik/CH) make no different..:)

No point ? From his point, it is plenty of points ! He has made up his mind that he wants to win big.

Juliane hanging on 14-12
