The surprise will be Boonsak beating BAO. LCW beating Sony in the 2nd round should not be a surprise. One of the Chen's will be a surprise (probably making the finals) this tournament I feel.

xlasher, do u know TH ? :)

CH is not even at his best right now..struggling with fitness rite? so i guess thats not much of a surprise..atleast to me..

today surprise loser..
1st. Sony lost to Kendrick****
2nd. Bao lost to Boonsak**
3rd. Xu Huaiwen lost to Tine Rasmussen***
4th. Zhu Lin lost to Yip Pui Yin *****

U mean Sony lost to Ronald.

And it seems Zhu Lin still isn't stable yet. World Champion knocked out, former world champion Xie Xingfang needed 3 games against Judith Meulendijks.

And sato lost!!! TOP men's singles player of japan, playing in the FIRST ROUND of HIS OWN COUNTRY'S open on HIS BIRTHDAY! SAD!!!

If the team-mate is playing against a good player. They will go support. If not then .. shopping!

To me, the biggest surprise is They manage to held 7 games at one times !:eek:

I am not sure whether here is the largest indoor stadium in Japan :cool:

The biggest surprise......recent Woeld champ lost to Yippi

The biggest surprise......recent Woeld champ lost to Yippi
advantage of being an underage and often looked down by giants... :D

now even kkk n tbh out.....ctf lww....all out...how can kkk n tbh lose to alven???cant imagine...alvent somehow doesnt play matches that often d rite?

The biggest surprise......recent Woeld champ lost to Yippinot surprise at all. Like any top chinese players, ex LD, they sometime lose in their early years due to unmature mental toughness. U watch, ZL will be back with stronger mental determination. It took zhang ning 10 years to mature.

now even kkk n tbh out.....ctf lww....all out...how can kkk n tbh lose to alven???cant imagine...alvent somehow doesnt play matches that often d rite?
:p..can't imagine either??..this is gotta be the biggest surprise i've heard abt Luluk & Alvent the last 2-3 yrs..They beat KKK & TBH??..:confused:

Read in Kompas that this seems to be their best performance in 3 years :p
Don't tell me this will be their springboard to go on and win the first major title in 3 years and what a title that will be :cool:

Tough to choose between Kido/Hendra or Luluk/Alvent. There's a part of me that wants Luluk/Alvent to win something again before they retire...hopefully a couple of titles here and there and an Olympic Bronze medal to complement the Asian Games Silver medal they won last year.

Well Flandy and Marissa lost to the Koreans.. that can be a suprise.

Yup, esp with the Korean XD splitting the combinations with LYD partnering HYM and HSH with LHJ.

Or, maybe that was their new coaching tactic, to bridge the gap between themselves and INA/CHN XD.

And sato lost!!! TOP men's singles player of japan, playing in the FIRST ROUND of HIS OWN COUNTRY'S open on HIS BIRTHDAY! SAD!!!

he's one of my favourite players by the way. haish =(

no offense, but i dont like sato.
he always look elsewhere whenever he lost a rally as though he should win every rally and trash his opponent 21-0, 21-0, instead of thinking how to overcome his opponent.

overall, he care for his style too much more than his skills.

Thats their game habit. Well you can't deny that he is Japan No1 player. He can play. There are much worse habits shown by other players.

JO07 is by far the greatest SS in this year to having 3 out of 4 heavenly king in the semis !
