2007 Japan Open day 3 (Septemter 13th)

[jbchiong]

Does anybody here knows why is Zhao Tingting is partnered with Yu Yang? Is Du Jing injured? :|

[robin7]

LYD/JJS just lost their 2nd game 25-27 to JPN pair. Now the rubber...

[jbchiong]

Upsets are not over yet. Still alive and kicking!!! :D

[Winnie Lim1314]

c it....INA win d...haha

[robin7]

Yes Vita/Lily took the 2nd game 21-18...

[taufik-ist]

he..he

tomboys make rubber sets

finally GL/HS meet the real opponent :)

[jbchiong]

Indra's hope is still alive with the Indonesians WD avenge their 1st game lost. 21 - 18.

[badMania]

Amazing...the gals could have won it in straight sets if they stayed calm when they were leading 19-18 in the first set. Nevertheless, Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir are really becoming a threat to CHN's domination in WD now. Their tactics somehow put the CHN in disarray as they managed to pull back even though trailing quite a distance. This is beginning to look like the Chinese Masters.

[robin7]

he..he
tomboys make rubber sets
finally GL/HS meet the real opponent :)
INA pair ahead
4-2 in the rubber...
5-2
6-2
7-2
7-3

[badMania]

Full steam ahead at 7-2 in the rubber-set. Wow...

[taufik-ist]

@LI De Quan

close your live score now :)...

[robin7]

The INA pair can win if they keep the distance & pressure on the CHN pair... Exciting... INA 9-4 now...
10-4... OMG

[robin7]

INA 11-4 @ the interval...

[badMania]

I am simply in a state of disbelief.....11-4 at the break.

[robin7]

Maybe GL is tired after the XD...

[apontoh]

Maybe GL is tired after the XD...
yeah but so are Lily and Vita. Esp Vita who's 28 yo, around the same age as GL?

[whatsoever]

What the?! Luluk/Alvent beat koo/tan? in straight set? Cant believe it!!! Good job, guys! Lil/vita pushed gao/huang to the third set? good enough but it will be perfect if they can win the game. Btw, it's fast-breaking time in Indo. (Buka puasa time!!!!) a very good news from Japan at the right time!!!!

[taufik-ist]

Maybe GL is tired after the XD...

hey... vita and lilyana also played XD before :p

[robin7]

INA is still ahead
11-5
11-6
11-7

vita was born in 1980

[robin7]

[Krisna]

Go INA!!! Vita and Lily are awesome! They are part of PBSI Head -Sutiyoso-'s grand plan to win 4 Gold Medals in Beijing... [er... even I am not that optimistic]...

[Krisna]

Both are tomboys... We can't deny it...

[robin7]

INA 17-12 in the rubber
JPN 15-14 in the rubber
both potential upsets...

[Winnie Lim1314]

[badMania]

[robin7]

Both are tomboys... We can't deny it...
Hi, Krisna, here u r.... @ the right time...

[taufik-ist]

[badMania]

The CHN pair closes the gap to only 3 at 19-16.

[Winnie Lim1314]

[chemile]

What happened with MAS MD recently? I thought KKK/TBH will win this SS after Fu/Cai toppled down. BUt, they also lost with LH/AY. Congrat LH/AY... VM/LN could not retain their points... This also the biggest upset for me. I really hope that this pair will take 2nd title... :(

[X Ball]

no, lcw will blame the real culprit, xball, for putting him on constant pressure in the public BF lah.:D lol

Thanks Cooler you are a chimp.:D

[X Ball]

malaysia players are not pressure-proof :)


Funny I did not hear you say that kind of thing when Taufik lost in the IO when the pressure was huge.

[OneToughBirdie]

REXY you're FIRED:D
Krisna would be very happy to get Rexy back to INA...or does Krisna still pleads (in previous threads) for Rexy return...hahaha!!! LOL!!:p:D

[OneToughBirdie]

so means Rexy's MD pair.. 4 pairs is it.. All OUT in Japan Open?
When MAS players lost in WC07, doubts arose the players were conspiring to lose on gambling bets...no, all 4 pairs are out, BAM should investigate these 4 pairs and Rexy are planning to go shopping in Japan...hehehe!!!;)

[OneToughBirdie]

hahaha, just back from a long shower.
No surprise here for me.
What surprised me is jonas R and Lars P are back!!
Tony G and candra W have a good chance to be in the SF
TG/CW can win the title...good for them!!!;)

[OneToughBirdie]

No big deal china lost.
All LYB cares now is the 08 beijing olympic.
As for rexy, he needs to get any win he can from his boys:p
His god-like status is slipping by the days
Beiging OLY is bigtime for CHN...first time for CHN...agree target for LYB is sweep or near sweep, esp WS and MS...if CHN achieves that, I make a prediction LYB will reap bigtime bonus reward and retire...while on top!!!;)

[OneToughBirdie]

dont be crazy? indonesia will not win all!!!
Indra is humouring us...you got sucked in by Indra's crying out loud comments...hahaha!!!:p

[Krisna]

Krisna would be very happy to get Rexy back to INA...or does Krisna still pleads (in previous threads) for Rexy return...hahaha!!! LOL!!:p:D

That's right! You read my mind, OneToughBirdie! ;) Rexy is still a valuable coach. Those who wish for his departure might regret loosing him later on... :) As the lyrics from the music group Chicago said, "You don't know what you have, until he's gone... and you'll find out a little too late..."

INA underestimated the contribution of Coach Tang Xianhu in the past... Now he went back to China... :crying: :crying: :crying: Look at how many years our MS, WS, and WD were decimated... :crying:

[OneToughBirdie]

Sometimes it is not the coaches that bring up the level of the players...I am pretty sure in CHN case, the men players are surrounded by pretty girl players (even you Krisna acknowledge that and want to import 4 of them to INA)...the men players play better to impress the ladies, get their fancy (human nature) and get even hook up with them e.g. LD/XXF, GeFei/SunJun, etc...in INA, the men players do not have this setup, they get bored and depressed (look at Sony face, he look depressed all the time, no smile)...maybe INA should look into this strategy...hahaha!!!LOL!!!:p:p:D:D

[ctjcad]

I am simply breathless now....wew...no CHN and MAS pairs in the QF. So, its between INA, KOR, and DEN now.

u r not fair, dun wipe the singaporeans out...
ok... "singaporeans"
:p..badMania probably was in a state of exuberance after Luluk's & Alvent's "surprising" win, that the S'pore MD pair's presence in QF was a blur..:rolleyes::D;)

No wonder the Japanese MD are doing so well these days...:p

But at the same time, if this holds true, how in the world is Flandy still doing so well...LOL...(no offense meant though:p)

[ctjcad]

LN and VM, they both both got a very good defence and offence.

Their tactics somehow put the CHN in disarray as they managed to pull back even though trailing quite a distance. This is beginning to look like the Chinese Masters.
..both of these CHN and INA WD pairs know each other's game well..I would say, they're even-strength:cool:

yeah but so are Lily and Vita. Esp Vita who's 28 yo, around the same age as GL?

Vita's just 26 lah my friend...

vita was born in 1980
:p..hehe, she's 26;)..see her info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vita_Marissa

[samuel882]

Krisna would be very happy to get Rexy back to INA...or does Krisna still pleads (in previous threads) for Rexy return...hahaha!!! LOL!!:p:D

INa will be regret if they fire Sigit pamungkas n get REXY back from MAS to coach their MD :cool:
Just comparing the success of both coach. Did you all still think REXY will bring many victories than present for INA team :cool::confused::rolleyes:

[OneToughBirdie]

No wonder the Japanese MD are doing so well these days...:p

But at the same time, if this holds true, how in the world is Flandy still doing so well...LOL...(no offense meant though:p)
Hymm, that is a real good question...I guess I overlook Flandy and yeah! he did well...and are INA WD and MD too...maybe my theory applies to MS...hahaha!!!:p

[OneToughBirdie]

Maybe Flandy is 'seasoned' (i.e. old) and matured, not young kids with eyes on pretty girls anymore and can concentrate on his game...must be this theory...LOL!!:p

[badMania]

That's right! You read my mind, OneToughBirdie! ;) Rexy is still a valuable coach. Those who wish for his departure might regret loosing him later on... :) As the lyrics from the music group Chicago said, "You don't know what you have, until he's gone... and you'll find out a little too late..."

INA underestimated the contribution of Coach Tang Xianhu in the past... Now he went back to China... :crying: :crying: :crying: Look at how many years our MS, WS, and WD were decimated... :crying:

PBSI, Get the cheque book out!! I think Rexy is pretty much disillusioned after two very poor showings by his favorite boys KKK/TBH. Not to mention his new doubles pairs like Zakry/Fairuz and Gan/Lin (losing to a Chinese Taipei pair :eek:) yet again failed disastrously.

[badMania]

:p..badMania probably was in a state of exuberance after Luluk's & Alvent's "surprising" win, that the S'pore MD pair's presence in QF was a blur..:rolleyes::D;)

Indeed...I was totally breathless (as I mentioned) when they won :p
Well, Hendri/Hendra were once Indonesians :cool:

[samuel882]
