French Open 2007 - Day 3 - Nov 1st

[robin7]

ZN & ZM are tied at 13-13.

[well-son]

Fu/Cai leading 17-7, 18-8 too strong for the German

[alfa-2]

Probably, they need to prevent Hafiz from viewing any scene or clip of him winning the AE 03 ever again... then make him sit in a dark quiet room and replay all those times when he lost tamely to everyone else for days... then just may be he can play good again due to overwhelming embarrassment.:p

wow, thats some sick sh*t man.............well, it might do him good after all..........:D:D:D:D

[well-son]

Zhang Ning is such an excellent fighter.
Now she is leading 17-13

[alfa-2]

I bet LCW is injured, but Simon just has a worse recurring injury.:eek:
LCW is slow today, but Simon is even slower... similar to what Ant said about Kenneth yesterday...:eek:

why u have to do this?? :p:p:p:p

[robin7]

Looks like ZM will fall again this time. Sigh... Good nite...

[well-son]

Fu/Cai took the 1st set 21-9.
ZN 19-13...

[bananakid]

Hope?? hahaha. Find me one of those suckers out there. I have an iceberg to sell :D:D

I am serious... a lot of fans will miss Hafiz if he decides to retire any time soon... he is one of my favorite Malaysian players:p, besides WCH.

They lose the joy of bashing him with all the fury, and at the same time they no longer get the sudden joy of him winning in style... like yesterday, he destroys Joachim in style...

[alfa-2]

Why? Hafiz is the one that makes badminton exciting...
Serious, when he plays well... he gives people "some" hope of him bouncing back, then the next day... he destroys all your remaining hope again...:p:D:D:D

Watching him losing 10+ match points to Lee Hyun Il in AG 06 was one of the most amazing moment ever!!! Hafiz for Malaysia prime minister!!!!!!!!!!:D

you are the most happy man whenever a MAS player lost eh?? :D:D:D:D Hafiz for prime minister, that's the spirit now..........

[bananakid]

you are the most happy man whenever a MAS player lost eh?? :D:D:D:D Hafiz for prime minister, that's the spirit now..........

No... I like it when TBH wins(better if he has a different partner though)... and WCH wins, just as long as he is not playing against Wacha.:p

Hafiz is just too much of a character... he makes things interesting... you don't see such a player in other sports(usually).:p

[Hazeef]

Guys, just wondering. KKK/TBH are meeting the japanese doubles tomorrow right? Is it the same pair that beat them in WC '07?

[well-son]

ZN took the 1st set 21-13.
Looks like she know how to beat ZM, experieced from her winning last week.
Or would it be another rubber set for ZN (as she has been often playing in rubber recently)?

The difference is you can bash Hafiz all you want, and he won't say a word... the same can't be said when you bash the bananakid...;)

[well-son]

Match point for Fu/Cai.
Oops, finish.
Fu/Cai 21-9, 21-7

[robin7]

Zhou Mi ahead 14-6. She gives me some hope.

[alfa-2]

Kenapa kamu mesti melayaninya?

kerana dia adalah salah satu orang sini kat BC yang tidak pilih kasih/gila-gila fan pemain tanpa fikir betul-betul (neutral) semasa posting. ;)

[well-son]

ZN took the 1st set 21-13.
Looks like she know how to beat ZM, experieced from her winning last week.
Or would it be another rubber set for ZN (as she has been often playing in rubber recently)?

It's going to rubber set.
ZN is trailing 8-16

[FU4EVA]

Great performance by Fu/Cai. They outclassed their opponents in just 20 minutes. JIA YOU... JIA YOU... for the remaining matches to grab the title.

[robin7]

Zhou Mi is closing the 2nd game 18-8, 19-9, 20-10. Took it 21-10.

[well-son]

ZN is giving up the 2nd set to ZM.
Let's see how will the 3rd set be.

[madbad]

Another ZM/ZN classic. ZM up 14-13 in rubber. Anybody's game.

[Wai Shing]

Zhang ning pulls ahead 18-16...she is seriously one tough lady

[madbad]

ZN wins 5 in a row to lead 18-16

[robin7]

Zhang Ning at match pt 20-17. Hate to see that.

[well-son]

EXCELLENT play by Zhang Ning !!!
After trailing far at the beginning 3rd set, she managed to fight back and won the battle.

ZN vs ZM 21-12, 10-21, 21-19.

Congratulations !

[well-son]

Zhang ning pulls ahead 18-16...she is seriously one tough lady

Yes, she is.
She has very good fighting spirit and a champion mentallity.

[eaglehelang]

According to Fastdrop...may be Polii made final points and plays around a lot...I do not know what it means......anyway..it is just side story

When fastdrop logs into the forum he can tell us the story

[ctjcad]

..quite a few surprises in Day 3's actions, but the most anticipated and looked forward match up between LD and TH in the QF will indeed materialize..
I think the French supporters and fans are definitely excited..:cool:

The bit about the ending between ENG's DK & GE's vs. INA's JN & GP's match, from what Hau-ge wrote, i would guess the ENG pair wasn't too pleased w/ the way Polii nonchalantly played the last few points?!..:confused::p

I beg to differ on LCW. He speaks English and Chinese well. I always talk to him. Maybe not as fluent as WCH but sufficient to communicate. I think his charm is in his being shy. He is not really shy, the right adjective is "humble".
Peter Gade and Chen Hong are both very accommodating to fans.
..hmm, would you consider him (LCW) to be more reserved??:confused::)

XZB is known like talking to other players....Cai Yun or Fu Hai Feng are more shy...quiet...BCL is a talkactive guy once you know him well....I did not expect him to chat me from A to Z....hehe

:D:D:D...I am shocked too that he kept talking and talking.....my mandarin is not that good....I told him but he would like to practice English too....
..hehe, he probably needed a person who'll listen to his "curhat" (short in Indonesian for curahan hati)-->in English it's somewhat similar to "heart-to-heart talk"?!..:p:);)

I thought he is very shy, too, from his appearance (innocent face).
Just knew that he is very talkactive (once know him well).
Anyway, he is a good boy :).
..looks can be deceiving, just like what Hau-ge found out..;)

[yannie]

Yeah, Bao is quite talktive once he knows someone.
Cai NOT shy at all, very talktive..
Fu is more reserved..

[ctjcad]

:p..not asleep yet lor??..:confused::);)

2.22 am.. Just came home.. Hehehehe.. Now going to sleep! Night!!! :D

[V3i HoN6]

LOL for the bananakid's comment.
Hey i think you should not get over it so fast, I noticed there's slightly toned down and you really shouldn't. I'd keep giving provocative comments to find space to argue and keep reminding them about this till at least Olympic 08.

The Malaysian still think that LCW is injured on the knee and show no sign of doubt even he managed to win over Simon yesterday. Big deal and makes big difference to my life. I cannot go to sleep knowing this. I'm eloquent enough to change their bigotry.

You probably cursing me for making fun of this, and you can called me idiot, scumbag, stupid, banana, and whatever you see fits. I may not agree but I think can move on with it. Like I told you, you are in a virtual cyber world and things are not meant to be taken too seriously here.
The Malaysian have their opinion, you have yours. Neither agree to each other and nothing gonna change that. The only difference is they can move on and live with different idea instead of keep harping on it.

pardon my english.

[george@chongwei]

yess!!! very happy that Lee Chong Wei make it to the QF...
LCW easily defeated SS in straight sets n im very happy...
all the malaysian player sail to the next round.err exept sairul n mr yoyo..HH...
