Quite heavy casualties from yesterday's matches, with all the MS players out :cool:

MEN'S DOUBLES R16
Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan vs Jacob Chemnitz/Mikkel Delbo Larsen -- Rendra/Fran were impressive in their victory over the 8th seed yesterday and they should take the match again today.

Andrew Bowman/Kristian Roebuck vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- it was a hard match for Rian/Yoke tomorrow and today's match is also tricky. But, I believe they should be able to win today.

WOMEN'S SINGLES R16
Ekaterina Ananina vs Adriyanti Firdasari -- the RUS player is dangerous and Firda needs to be at her best to beat her. The INA player has a slight edge.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES R16
Gabrielle White/Mariana Agathangelou vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- should be a breeze for Jo/Greysia against the unknown ENG pair.

Shinta Mulia Sari/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan vs Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati -- Mel/Shendy should be more powerful than Yulianti/Richi and they need to rely on their attacks to beat the SIN pair.

MIXED DOUBLES R16
Kristoff Hopp/Birgit Overzier vs Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti -- facing the 4th seed today, I think Tantowi/Yulianti should just enjoy their match and gather as much match experience against the experienced German pair. A win will be a bonus.

WU Yunyong , LI Wenyan , CAI Jiani/ZHANG Yi!!

If Firdasari lost to Ananina.. It would be a disaster outing for her ! :eek:
NEver heard of this Rus gals before :cool:

oops..
firdasari having hard time in rubber set..
ekaterina leading 7-2

If Firdasari lost to Ananina.. It would be a disaster outing for her ! :eek:
NEver heard of this Rus gals before :cool:
Ananina is a gud player..
yesterday she was trailing 20-15 behind in rubber set..
but she get 8 consecutive pts & saves 5 match points..
she is a fighter..
so if she win, it won't be surprising..

Uncle Roslin will be following the footstep of his Yoyo Brother.. Trailing 9-14 in the first now

i am wondering wat is roslin doing??

Juliane please win to avoid being humiliated by an Ukranian

i am wondering wat is roslin doing??

Suffering "YOYO" disease :D:D

looks like wu yunyong going to win the match in straight sets...
leading 19-16 now.

i am wondering wat is roslin doing??
Roslin won the 2nd set easily....
Roslin won the match 21-19, 21-6

and Wuyun yong won the match in straight sets....21-16, 21-19

Pelatnas has its sole representative in the QF tomorrow, as Jo Novita/Greysia Polii beat the ENG pair quite comfortably 21-13, 21-16. They will face a stern test in Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia. Remember, Greysia injured herself when playing Jiang/Li in the World Championships :cool:

Firda lost????? OMG...what was she thinking??

so here the upset..

Anup Sirdhar 8th seeded lost----> MS
Firdasari 7th seeded lost--------->WS

Thank God....Novita/Polli won

The Djarum pair Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan is tied at one-set all with Jacob Chemnitz/Mikkel Delbo Larsen 14-21, 21-15. Can they win the rubber?

Go..Rendra and Fran.......kamu bisa...you can do it...

rendra wijaya and fran kurniawan won .....good job boys

Djarum also ensures it has at least 1 representative in the QF as Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan beat the DEN pair in rubber-sets 14-21, 21-15, 21-15. It will be an interesting clash between them and the third-seed Howard Bach/Bob Malaythong Khan tomorrow. As usual, a win is considered a bonus.

I don't think I will stay up for Rian/Yoke's and Mel/Shendy's match. I hope they will win their matches.

Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan vs Jacob/Mikkel 14-21, 21-15, 21-15

Try to win next match ok...so that make Fung Permadi happy but pls don't smoke Djarum coz u guys will running out of breath...:D :D

I don't think I will stay up for Rian/Yoke's and Mel/Shendy's match. I hope they will win their matches.

bad mania..it's ok..take rest first...i will be around

Rian/Yonatan beated Andrew/Kristian 21-15, 21-13
Vanessa/Mulia vs Meliana/Shendi 21-12, 21-23, now in rubber set,
level at 3-3

Mel/Shendy take control the 3rd game,
now they are leading 10-4, 11-5, 12-7, 13-8

Too bad for the INA Meliana/Shendy, they lost to the SIN Vanessa/Mulia
21-12, 21-23, 21-19

I am waiting for the CHN youngster matches tomorrow.
Can they win over their tough opponents?

WS Li Wenyan vs Yao Jie [1]
XD Zhang Yi/Cai Jiani vs Rasmus/Christina
MS Wu Yunyong vs Roslin Hashim [5]

Tough match for Li Wenyan to beat seeded #1 Yao Jie
as well as for Wu yunyong to play with the more experience Roslin.
I think Zhang/Cai have 50:50 chance.

Another interesting matches:
WS Li li [1] vs Saina Nehwal [6]
MS Sairul Amar Ayob [7] vs Lee Tsuen Seng [2]
MD Rian/yonatan [6] vs Kristof/Ingo [4]

Hard job for Saina to beat Li li, I think Li li will win over Saina.
Lee Tsuen Seng has the edge over Ayob,
I put 50:50 on Rian/yonatan

i am wondering wat is roslin doing??

For you information, there are at least 2 bad linecalls in the 1st set!!!
:rolleyes:

Too bad for the INA Meliana/Shendy, they lost to the SIN Vanessa/Mulia
21-12, 21-23, 21-19
I guess Eng Hian has done a good job for Singapore....too bad that Mel/Shendy lost...:(:(

Pelatnas has its sole representative in the QF tomorrow, as Jo Novita/Greysia Polii beat the ENG pair quite comfortably 21-13, 21-16. They will face a stern test in Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia. Remember, Greysia injured herself when playing Jiang/Li in the World Championships :cool:

Greysia's right knee was strapped today. Same as Jo.

Dude...you should improve on your Chinese :cool:
Chung Kuo??? LOL....

but most of us understand what i mean:D:D:D

CHUNG KUO REN JIA YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FYI, the above mentioned players aren't exactly Chinese youngsters :cool:
These are Chinese players who have been based in Europe for quite some time, ie: discards. Li Wenyan went into the Final last year and lost to Firda.

Mr X Ball, don't forget Roslin is seeded only 5th and the others ahead of him include the recent sensation "watchout" Wacha (1), Lee Tsuen Seng (2) and our very own Kendrick Lee (4).

But first, Roslin has to clear the QF against 'unknown' China qualifier, Wu Yunyong. This is going to be very interesting for Wu has just beaten Dicky Palyama (3) in straight games in R3. :rolleyes:

I can't refuse a good offer, can I?:D

But what happens if Roslin is beaten by Wu before this?

i think Lee Tsuen Seng will win this tournament..:)

Roslin OR Lee Tsuen Seng

MALAYSIA BOLEH !!! :D

Roslin OR Lee Tsuen Seng

MALAYSIA BOLEH !!! :D

Earlier on you asserted Roslin will win. Now you've included Tsuen Seng as another possibility, because both are Malaysians. You're striking fear in the mind of X Ball, do you know that? :p

I can't refuse a good offer, can I?:D

The bet becomes void if neither wins the title.

So the bet is on!

So were you on the others (including Kendrick).

Anyway, I will accept even on that bet that Roslin has to win to get my satay from you, else satay for you. I am a fair man.;)

Oh, that's interesting cause the last time I was there many, many moons ago it was also quite dry. So it has to do with the monsoons. But do you see ladies bathing and doing their washing by the riverside as some artists have captured on their canvas for immortality! :)

Mr X Ball, you saw the QF results, Roslin Hashim (5) failed even to overcome qualifier Wu Yunyong. Kendrick Lee (4), on the other hand, make a mockery of the seedings by beating all opposition, even Lee Tsuen Seng (2) and Przemyslaw Wacha (1) in the SF and F.

Roslin never had the chance to meet Kendrick in the final and Kendrick deserved the Dutch crown after his last major title a few years ago, the US Open.

So with glee that I look forward to your satay treat! :D ;) :)

It is always better to give than to take in life -- so the next satay treat is mine with pleasure -- question is when ? Maybe when I come down for Christmas, or if you happen to cruise up here.

On Kendrick, he has been knocking on the door. This tournament suited him.
