French Open 2007 - Day 4 - Nov 2nd - Quarter-finals

[alfa-2]

lesson being taught to Mr.President??? shite...........and this is the match of the titans?

[X Ball]

It is not realistic to expect Taufik to beat LD given that he has not done too much lately whereas LD has been winning of late.

[robin7]

Sigh... TH lost the 1st game 14-21. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:Another 7 pts in a row by LD to seal the 1st game. TH was up 9-4 at one pt.

[xlasher]

Bear In Mind...................only Lcw Can Beat Lin Dan Within This Two Years.................nobody Else.............even Taufik....


Oh yeah... what about MS Asian Games.... Doesn't it count???

[well-son]

Luluk/Alvent leading 2-0, 2-1

[damouse]

I blinked and looked and Lin Dan took the game...Can Taufik pull a comeback in the second set to force rubber?

[jasonmarc]

i think LD will lose 2nd. game...and be ready for rubber

[george@chongwei]

taufik leading 1-0 now,

[alfa-2]

Taufik-ist, where are you???? come on cheer your hero.............

haaaaahhh, that one, TH needs to borrow Duracell battery from LCW to beat LD in the rubber.

[jasonmarc]

Let's see if Luluk/Alvent will be the next pair to beat Fu/Cai

Fu/Cai always have problems with veterens.:rolleyes:..pairs....:D:D

TH leads 2-1 now...

[carine]

Taufik leading 3-1 now

[george@chongwei]

3 nets winner by taufik...

[tohcsh]

oh No! Come on Lin Dan....

[xlasher]

[alfa-2]

Maybe he accidentally borrowed Hafiz's instead :p

oh shite, that's not Duracell...........it's the cheap Eveready, 2nd hand battery somemore........die hard hard for sure........:D:D:D:D

[felix929]

TH doesnt need a battery

[robin7]

Tahan, Taufik. Where are all the INA fans? Looks like MAS fans are the one cheering for TH right now.

[ye333]

Will Taufik reach 15 in the 2nd game? That is the question...

[alfa-2]

hafiz is the hopeless shuttlers of the year........................:D:D

Dont say like that, Hafiz provides motivation for those who lost in a tournament........they'll just need to look at Hafiz, i mean who can be worse??:D:D:D

[jasonmarc]

Damn...Jap cuties lost..

[carine]

Taufik leading 16-9

[robin7]

No smashes so far in this game. Would u believe it?

TH 16-9 up...

[ye333]

Maybe LD is the one got tired after rushing to the end in the 1st game... :D


I was surprised!!! He still has gas in the 2nd game??? :eek:

[alfa-2]

They r all running to LCW now to collect all those Duracell :D:D:D

i know.......cough..ermm..:rolleyes:

[well-son]

Luluk/Alvent took the 1st game 21-18

[carine]

Taufik leading 17-13

[robin7]

Luluk/Alvent secured the 1st game 21-18.

[eaglehelang]

Almost? How old are they anyway? Not that old right? 26? 27?

Most players are called veterans once they reach 30. Tony/Candra have that hmmmm 'title'. Luluk was born 1979 = 28, Alvent 1980=27. So.. almost

Since Fu/cai lost in WC to CTF/LWW, they been losing to veteran pairs. Luluk/ALvent won 1st set over Fu/Cai!

[george@chongwei]

LCW is on court now!!!
going to get into action soon!!!!!

[yyclub]

can not be no smashes, must be the guy put in wrong data.

[xlasher]

GOOOOGOOOOO YOWWWYOWWW....

[tohcsh]

[zqloy]

LOL, TH lost all 4 set points! Is he sleeping or wat?

[pjswift]

can not be no smashes, must be the guy put in wrong data.
Umpire's too stressed up to know what's a smash winner so he puts all under 'Other'?

[well-son]

TH - LD Deuce... 20-20 , 21-20 for LD

[Gitlis]

TH is no longer in the top league of badminton. TH fans can get ready to give up now.

[Jessica]

Taufik lose...Really feel sad now...He was having such a good lead in the second set..Is Taufik time over i the badminton world..Please come back,taufik.

[damouse]

AW shucks!! :( Was hoping for a greater fight from Taufik...hoping for a 3-setter...oh well.

[eaglehelang]

Luluk/Alvent leading 2nd set, 11-8. Another lost for Fu/Cai??

[jasonmarc]

Feng Yun also not looks good now...

[Simoneolivelli]

In your opinion who will win betweend CJ and PG?

[alfa-2]

married life has not been kind to Taufik.

are you married?:D:D

[extremenanopowe]

Yeah agreed. All daddy will know its not easy to focus on the game when there is a new born in the family... too bad he lost it. Close one. And well done to Super Dan. He must be flying here and there to seal the second set.

Luluk must be having his guns blazing in winning the first set. Hantam here and there, kapiak..:D


married life has not been kind to Taufik.

[badboypedi]

what was wrong with taufik at the end of set no 2?? did he lost his battery?

[koo_fan]

Let me guess : you are a comic strip writer

[TH_4_President]

lin dan semi final opponent should be lee chong wei...

[alfa-2]

Oh man! TH shoudnt hv borrowed Hafiz's 2nd hand batt....

[well-son]

Luluk/Alvent are in their form in this FO, leading 11-8, 11-9 in the 2nd set.
Will they win the game in straight set?

[george@chongwei]

Lee Chong Wei to serve...
0-0 play...!!

[z3048018]

was a really amazing comeback by LD.... yes, it's a pity that there was no 3rd set.
don't really see LCW losing to CYK.. Go CW

[Yojimbo]

Wow....INA MD is looking really good..

[george@chongwei]

lcw leading 6-0

[apontoh]

LD is simply amazing at the moment, he can be behind for a most of the game but he's the master of closing it.

[Gitlis]

Have you not heard of LCW ?:mad:
LCW has yet to even his score against LD. I don't believe he can do it eventually.

[zqloy]

what was wrong with taufik at the end of set no 2?? did he lost his battery?

We believe he borrowed battery from the wrong guy......

[X Ball]

LCW will finish the match in less than 30 mins again !

[george@chongwei]

6-0 now!!!
lee chong wei is currently teaching CYK a lesson...
add oil!!!!
malaysia boleh!!!!
faster finish the game!!!
7-0 now....2nd smashes..

[carine]

jia you LCW..........

[robin7]

Once again, Lin Dan proved to the world that he is the true champion.
Taufik Hidayat must be very disappointed but I don't think TH played badly today.
LD was just too good, taking 7 pts in a row twice in the 1st game and 6 consecutive pts, saving 4 game points in the 2nd game to seal the match 21-14 22-20.

[yyclub]

X Ball, ofcause LCW can when he is in top form but I just think LD form is too good. You need super LCW to beat LD :)

[jasonmarc]

lin dan semi final opponent should be lee chong wei...

No,..probably BCL or Boonsak..;)

[carine]

LCW leading 8-1

[well-son]

OMG
super dan is super dan
6 point comeback when taufik is at 20...
now thats impressive

Yes, that's an impressive stuff, not many player can do that.

[eaglehelang]

Wow, LCW's different way of playing seems to be working, catching his opponents off guard like past 2 rounds.

[zqloy]

LCW has yet to even his score against LD. I don't believe he can do it eventually.

He is the only guy who can beat LD twice this year.

[george@chongwei]

LCW will finish the match in less than 30 mins again !
less than 25 mins...hehe:D

[tohcsh]

Fu and Cai 加油加油

[george@chongwei]

8-2 now...

[X Ball]

LCW has yet to even his score against LD. I don't believe he can do it eventually.

Well keep your eyes open or you might miss it when it comes.

[TH_4_President]

Th is still the president,right?
doesn't mean that he lost his job :D, I guess even George W Bush, Gordon Brown or any president or PM in the world sumtimes being "kutu kupret" too, or even frequently counted as "kutu kupret?" heheheh:D:D:D:D

[george@chongwei]

its 9-3 now...

[Yojimbo]

CHN MD is bouncing back...

[carine]

LCW leading 10-4

[zqloy]

Looks like LL/AV counldnt keep their focus...

[Yojimbo]

In your opinion who will win betweend CJ and PG?
CJ!!!!! Love him!!! But PG will give a tough fight

[Louisa]

X Ball, ofcause LCW can when he is in top form but I just think LD form is too good. You need super LCW to beat LD :)

Our LCW need not any title to beat LD....A humble CW can beat Superdan:D

[tohcsh]

LCW come on my little brother...

[carine]

11-4 interval,LCW is leading,jia you

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Feng/Yun 2 more....

[nicolas33]

Anyone knows if there's any streaming for the French Open?

I already asked the same thing, but nobody reply!!!!!:crying:

[woodenRacket]

Once again, Lin Dan proved to the world that he is the true champion.
Taufik Hidayat must be very disappointed but I don't think TH played badly today.
LD was just too good, taking 7 pts in a row twice in the 1st game and 6 consecutive pts in the 2nd game to seal the match 21-14 22-20.

he is getting mature. i think LD is testing different strategy, and he has the ability to adjust himself to catch back, even when fallen far behind. this is really a disaster to TH: his confidence might be ruined :)

[nicolas33]

I hate live score!!! taufik lose

[carine]

LCW leading 12-5

[tommy_bun]

Jian You FengYun.......

[Louisa]

I already asked the same thing, but nobody reply!!!!!:crying:
