Any french open photos to share along???

It's not even started yet!
Will post when I get back from the qualifications today ;)

..for your pics, Loopy..We'll be looking fw to them with much anticipation!;):cool:
*Thanks, Xinguy, for starting this thread..:cool:

can`t wait for pictures!! [:

Hello !
Just back from the qual days.
I took some videos and photos.
The bad news is that most of them are in bad quality because I have a shaky hand and didn't bring my tripod.
Anyways, I did managed to take some decent pics, although they aren't action pics. But the pics quality are nonetheless very bad when I resized them. The original ones are prettier though. Sorry :(

So first one, guess who (super easy...):

Here's another clue with his coach (really if you didn't guess, where have you been ? :p )
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5238/taufikandhiscoachha1.jpg

Here's the answer, all smiles. It's fun because we waived at him and he smiled back ;)
Oh yes... He broke the strings of 10 rackets consecutively while practicing smash :D

Okay, here is photo of a player on the street waiting for her squad, but I really do not know her name. But I do know from which country though. Please tell me who that is.

Lin Dan of China knocked out Taufik 21-14, 22-20


Lin Dan seems to be so happy to beat Taufik....:p:p

Wow, don't see too many smiles from Lin Dan usually... he looks totally different :).

Any pictures of WMC? Ella Diehl?

any pictures from cutie Yong Dae ? :D

Any pic of LCW n Koo/Tan?

I'll post somes photos i have taken during this, maybe after the final or monday.

it's the first time that i saw a 'real' smile from LD... I knew it, beating taufik is the only way that'll make him happy..lol

i have some pics from QF day. Most are bad quality but it's from my phone not a real camera.

thanks for the pics stucken!!!

luluk looks so funny as usual.. hahahahaha

Some pictures off-court. Very surprised that I was the only one there waiting with some friends. Luluk was very nice. This is me luluk and a friend. I spoke
some bahasa with him. He was very interested. I think that is a nephew of him but correct me if i am wrong. Very funny boy by the way

nice pic.. that's mulyo handoyo's son..

u can speak bahasa?

Me with Kido Setiawan and a friend. I was dissapointed with their performance in QF and so were they, they told me. They were really composed during the match against LWW and CTF

hendra! c'mon smile!.. kido looks cheeky.. faint.. where was that taken? outside the hall?

Indonesia team waiting for the bus to the hotel. A bit of a mess as they had to wait so long and had to switch cars because it was to small for the whole team. They were not very happy because everybody lost on QF day but still they were nice for us

who are they?

from left to right:

can't see who (?), markis kido, alvent yulianto, hendra setiawan

just came back from quarter n semi finals. will upload photos soon. stay tuned.

And then the picture i came for and always wanted. Me with olympic champion Taufik Hidayat. He was dissapointed with the loss but he was not really sad or something. He should have taken the 2nd set though. Very nice talking to him. Thanks TH

u took the pic with ur phone?? kasian it's a bit blurry.. nice pic though

Ok mulyo's son, very nice boy. Yes I do speak a little bahasa as i am half indonesian. I am learning everyday haha. They were surprised when i started in bahasa and laughing haha. The pictures were taken at the player entrance outside the hall. I forgot to ask alven, he was a bit to quick haha. Alven is on the right, the rest i don't know for sure. Yes I had to use the night modus on my N95 because it was very dark. Still very proud though

yeah, mulyo's son paundra is very cute.. 3 years old i think..
ohhh, good luck learning bahasa..
i can recognise kido, alvent and hendra on the pic la.. just not the one to the very left..

haha i took the photo but i cant remember anymore. I think you are the expert with photo's, but the whole mens team was waiting there except the mens that lost in earlier rounds. No sony, simon, riyadi or gunawan etc.

yup, i heard sony went back yesterday.. maybe joko and hendra AG also.

Here're some pics of day 3

I have more pics but cannot manage to upload them :mad:

The rest of the INA players are going home tomorrow...

And then the picture i came for and always wanted. Me with olympic champion Taufik Hidayat. He was dissapointed with the loss but he was not really sad or something. He should have taken the 2nd set though. Very nice talking to him. Thanks TH

Hi stucken...U r so lucky to meet him. So envy u! I also wish I can hv d chance to talk and take pic with him..

Here's Tarek (syaoran_style) and Jan!!

Tarek in front of TH.

Me with Kido Setiawan and a friend. I was dissapointed with their performance in QF and so were they, they told me. They were really composed during the match against LWW and CTF



Hey..i think i saw you both today? (not Hendra/Markis) :p
You were sitting at the front, wearing stripe shirts! :D

wait wait wait. may be with a different friend. the one with dark hair? LOL!

you saw stucken on tv is it??? did you see our favourite low quality teh tarek or not??? hahahahaha

Yeah i saw on tv. I saw my high quality French Teh Tarek too!!
Happy! Now we're even Tarek!
We both saw each other on TV! *ha

Why Tarek always appears on tv.. CPH Masters last year, he was on tv too.. LMAO!!!

haha no i was only there on friday. First row on the middle court. I can see myself on some of the matches posted on this forum haha Although I wish I was there the whole weekend. But I am glad with the pictures. We got what we came for (except for a shirt) and almost 20 good matches on QF day. I am considering to come for a whole weekend next year, but I hope taufik does not retire. He is still only 26. He has so many years left. But indo single players always retire quite early. So sad to see that

I'll pick photos of the finals asap.
Maybe tonight.

What LCW said ? Anyone know and remember?



He said he was very glad to play in France for the first time and thanks the French public which is very warm and kind to support him (in mandarin :)).

http://img1.qq.com/2008/pics/6869/6869025.jpg

This is the flag I gave to her :):):)
We were a group of 7 people to support the Chinese team. When we were supporting XXF VS PHY it was tough as all the gymnasium was shouting "Hong Yang"

More pics of day 3.
I was watching the match of Wong Mew Choo and then guess who came to sit next to me to support her :D. I asked him to take a picture in English but he answed me in Mandarin that's it's OK but after the match, I just took few seconds to understand he was talking in madarin :p. WCH is realy a kind man.
I'll upload more pics tomorrow.

Nice pics just_me.. WCH is nice indeed.. Too bad he didn't come for Denmark Open..

How about the one next to her?? And the one staring at the back??:confused:...event, need your help to confirm..:p

It's Lee Hyo Jung and her partner Lee Kyung Won I think... Dunno who is behind, looks a little like Wei Yili, a little like Eriko Hirose.. But I guess it's a Korean player..
