[steffi_annie]

Whats goin on in their heads??? Always lost to Japs?


I think they are over-confident!!!!!!!
youngsters are always like this!!!!!!

[Peter5124]

What kind of tactic PJB taught the JPN pair? MAS pair must counter it next time

[alfa-2]

I think they are over-confident!!!!!!!

They should hv won the 2nd set! Holy crap!!!

[alfa-2]

bastard kkk/tbh.............................................

wow, now that's something........:rolleyes:

[Misty100]

C'mon WMC... 4 points more, win win win!!!

[robin7]

WMC ahead 18-16.... Come on, finish it...

[well-son]

Seems like WMC more in control now, leading 18-16

[samuel882]

[Misty100]

[robin7]

WMC 19-16... 2 more pts...

[nauyuchi]

anything happen.... my support only for kkk/tbh

[abedeng]

Calm down, people. Professor Park is a great coach, like Rexy and Tan Kim Her. There is a time where we win, other times when we lose.

[OneToughBirdie]

Rexy will be busy tomorrow...........
Before Rexy gets to them, Pemuda has something to say first;):D...hehehe!!!

[Tjun Tjun]

Match point for WMC................

[zqloy]

Hv they learn anything from the WC lost? Sigh.... seems that PJB's tactic works.....

[robin7]

WMC at match pt 20-17...

[Misty100]

MC at set point to win!!! 20 : 17

[nauyuchi]

bastard kkk/tbh.............................................



oiiiii mind ur language please
respect others too...:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[vivian]

wmc , one more point to win .. come on

[shenron]

Now this is what i say MAS players are lack of confidence. Being seeded as world no. 1 for the first did gave them unnecessary pressure to win the tittle. Instead of playing offensive, they played defensive. We could really see MAS players lost confidence easily when they are highly expected to win, especially during major tournament or high expectation on them....Olympic 2008? They won't reach that far if they are playing this kind of inconsistent play all the times....losing to low ranked players all the time.

[Misty100]

20:18 now, 2 match point... must win WMC!!!

[steffi_annie]

I think KKK and TBh do not have any luck today!!!!!!
That's why they lost the points from the net points!!!!!!

[OneToughBirdie]

bastard kkk/tbh.............................................
That is harsh...just a game and nobody deserving being called that...you should apologize...imagine someone calling you that name...

[Yojimbo]

bastard kkk/tbh.............................................
Watch your tongue, ok? They fought hard but it wasn't enough to topple the JAP pair...it was disappointing...but what to do...winning..losing..it's part and parcel of any competition...

[well-son]

Wmc....????. 20-19

[samuel882]

Koo/Tan lose..Ok...go shopping now...I am damm sleepy...Hope LWW/CCF will win...
not gonna wait for Sudket ? BTW I am in Bangkok.. Many will cheered for them:eek: .. I am sure ;)

[Misty100]

Aiyo, Ella closed in 20 all. Wake up WMC!!!

[robin7]

2 match pts saved by Ella. Still match pt for WMC 20-19. Duece...

[zqloy]

Fu/Cai's achilles tendon were the veterans, while our Koo/Tan is the japs? Definitely worst....

[Yojimbo]

wow....ella and mew choo so close...

[vivian]

oh no 20 :20 now

[well-son]

WMC 20-20??? Crazy scores....!!!

[Misty100]

OMG, WMC trailing now from 3 match points!

[Erwin Kyoto]

No.1 of MAS pairs packing early....tommorrow the MAS no.2...I can sleep well tonight...thks Ohtsuk/Matsuda ..

[robin7]

Ella at game pt 21-20...

[OneToughBirdie]

stupid japanese pair
Why called people stupid...control your emotion just a game.

[well-son]

WMC level it 21-21

[Han]

Don't worry, our Mew Choo will win even if in rubber

[tommy_bun]

Dont waste your Chance Ella......

[robin7]

Duece 21-21... Finish it WMC... Don't break my heart.

[well-son]

Again, Ella game point, 22-21

[steffi_annie]

KKK and TBH lost.....
but we have LCW to beat LD in the final!!!!!!!!
so that's fair and square!!!!!!

[Misty100]

Ella is one tough nut to crack, leading 22 : 21 now

[well-son]

A RUBBER SET for WMC vs ELLA

[samuel882]

Now this is what i say MAS players are lack of confidence. Being seeded as world no. 1 for the first did gave them unnecessary pressure to win the tittle. Instead of playing offensive, they played defensive.

They won't reach that far if they are playing this kind of inconsistent play all the times....losing to low ranked players all the time.
Yeah.. Inconsistent is the key.. Although winning & losing is part of the games, but to lose against lower ranks player, not once.. but many , That is really YOYO
Why didn't LD lose to lower rank players in many occasions then...

[rexymania]

sorry allllllllllllllll.........................byeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee

[shenron]

seems like the trend for MAS still continues...either one of MD or MS will go far.....another voodoo spell here?

[tommy_bun]

Can Ella make miracle like The Jap pair did????

[zqloy]

Rexy must teach KKK/TBH ways to tackle the jap pairs, if not they better pray that they wont face them in the future....

[sweetlover]

my lovely bro's lose to japan....:crying:
what a sad news...:(
but it's ok...
it's normal for human like us...:)
sometimes it's no good if alwayz be a winner..
thats just a human being...
we r not a god...:)
n it's not the end...:)


go wmc...
company ur others team for tomorrow sf....:)

[Yojimbo]

Hmm...they did mention that they care a lot more about winning titles than being #1....it seems that they still have a long way to go..maybe study the matches involving the Japs more and be more calm and relaxed on court.They have what it takes to win but they are not stable yet...Nevermind...they tried their best and that's all to it.

[robin7]

WMC wasted 3 match pts...

[vivian]

wmc 3 game now , both have the equall chance

[Misty100]

Rubber set, WMC lost 21:23... she usually has enuf energy to sustain. Just hope Ella puncture at this point... pray hard.

[Yojimbo]

Cepat la...wanna sleep already..

[OneToughBirdie]

KKK and TBH lost.....
but we have LCW to beat LD in the final!!!!!!!!
so that's fair and square!!!!!!
I wouldn't pump the over-confidence meter too high saying LCW would beat LD, cos if LCW lose, what you said would come back and bite your in the backside...hehehe!!!

[Erwin Kyoto]

stupid japanese pair

what wrong....please dont post like that...World no1 lost bcause the JPN pairs better than MAS pairs tonight...:cool::rolleyes:

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC leads 3-0......now 3-1.........................

[shenron]

Rexy taught them tips to tackle Jap pairs, tup...tup...you will see they got beaten by INA...by Russian....he he


Rexy must teach KKK/TBH ways to tackle the jap pairs, if not they better pray that they wont face them in the future....

[OneToughBirdie]

Rexy must teach KKK/TBH ways to tackle the jap pairs, if not they better pray that they wont face them in the future....
Yeah, twice it happens.

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC increases her lead to 5-1................

[Han]

wmc 3 game now , both have the equall chance

Mew Cho need to play patient games, her strength is rally then rally, no need to go for short cut to win, may back fire.

[zqloy]

what wrong....please dont post like that...World no1 lost bcause the JPN pairs better than MAS pairs tonight...:cool::rolleyes:

I believe they played a hell of match tonight. Outplayed KKK at the net...

[alfa-2]

kkk (top MD now) losing twice to japanese pair is like CY/FHF (top MD then) kept on losing to MAS pair...........it's a karma thingy?

[Misty100]

Koo is a little edgy with a flu, dudes. So they lost today, but they will still be No. 1, watdaheck. They be back on track in the next tourney.

[zqloy]

Rexy taught them tips to tackle Jap pairs, tup...tup...you will see they got beaten by INA...by Russian....he he

Dont mind they lose the Ina pairs once awhile but always to the japs? That means they dont deserve to be at the top yet...

[shenron]

i think quite an embarassing for KKK/TBH to beaten twice by same country, Japan....some more, this time by second string of Jap pairs....they have not learnt the lesson yet. Same goes to MK/HS....frequently losing to MAS...

[robin7]

Now this is what i say MAS players are lack of confidence. Being seeded as world no. 1 for the first did gave them unnecessary pressure to win the tittle. Instead of playing offensive, they played defensive. We could really see MAS players lost confidence easily when they are highly expected to win, especially during major tournament or high expectation on them....Olympic 2008? They won't reach that far if they are playing this kind of inconsistent play all the times....losing to low ranked players all the time.
Good point. Another thing we can conclude from here is that the JPN's coaches have found a way to beat MAS pairs. The JPN pairs have beaten the MAS pair twice already this year. Instead of bashing the MAS pair, please also give the JPN pair credits.

Remember when CHN's coaches have found LCW's weaknesses, the whole MS camp could beat him. It is the same theory.

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC is back to 4 point advantage.........8-4...............

[vivian]

wmc is back fire now 8 - 4

[Yojimbo]

I believe they played a hell of match tonight. Outplayed KKK at the net...
Hmm...maybe it's the JAP pair's moment to peak? Or maybe KKK/TBH just couldn't handle the pressure...there could be so many reasons as to why they lost....but the Jap pair was simply better than them.

[abedeng]

Another thing we can conclude from here is that the JPN's coaches have found a way to beat MAS pairs. The JPN pairs have beaten the MAS pair twice already this year. Instead of bashing the MAS pair, please also give the JPN pair credits.

Yup, the JPN pairs deserve credit, but so far, they've only beaten one MAS pair, which just happens to be our top pair.

[Erwin Kyoto]

Good point. Another thing we can conclude from here is that the JPN's coaches have found a way to beat MAS pairs. The JPN pairs have beaten the MAS pair twice already this year. Instead of bashing the MAS pair, please also give the JPN pair credits.


yeah...thnks...:D:D

[vivian]

another 11 points to go m.choo

[zqloy]

i think quite an embarassing for KKK/TBH to beaten twice by same country, Japan....some more, this time by second string of Jap pairs....they have not learnt the lesson yet. Same goes to MK/HS....frequently losing to MAS...

It is quite humiliating, perhaps they hv to learn it the hard way to become true champions?

[sweetlover]

need to sleep now...
may god bless wmc match...
nitez everybody...!!!

[eaglehelang]

Dont mind they lose the Ina pairs once awhile but always to the japs? That means they dont deserve to be at the top yet...

Japan now have Park Joo Bong training them. The British, with Tan Kim Her coaching them is also giving them hard time. When he was coaching Korea, the Korean pairs gave them a hard time.

In the same way embarassing for Kido/Setiawan, reigning World Champ, always losing to Msia pair.

Same goes for Fu/Cai, also losing lately. So, need to go back drawing board.

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC's lead has disappeared......now 9-9................

[Yojimbo]

Koo is a little edgy with a flu, dudes. So they lost today, but they will still be No. 1, watdaheck. They be back on track in the next tourney.
Hmm...maybe so...we never know....I do hope they will recover in the next tourney..all the best to them

[well-son]

ZN has finished the game, 21-11, 21-12 over Yip Pui Yin.
Congrats.
She is really a good player !!!

[abedeng]

It is quite humiliating, perhaps they to learn it the hard way to become true champions?

Why is it humiliating, didn't we see before that the new scoring system has bridged the gaps between MD pairs? All top MD pairs have suffered defeats, it is part of the game. This is not like the 80s and 90s, when top pair really were supreme.

[Misty100]

WMC having a 2 points lead at interval. This Russian gal is tough, she is getting better and better.

[shenron]

winning and losing is part of the game....everyone has to accept the fact even though it's hard to swallow...i think KKK/TBH played their best to win back-to-back title here, but Jap pairs just got better from them. Learn more KKK/TBH and congrats to Tadashi/Keita, you will be heroes in Japan.

[vivian]

wmc break now ... after break will be many different

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC and Ella are now playing close to an hour.................On other hand Zhang Ning has an easy nite...............she won 21-11, 21-12.............

[Yojimbo]

Japan now have Park Joo Bong training them. The British, with Tan Kim Her coaching them is also giving them hard time. When he was coaching Korea, the Korean pairs gave them a hard time.

In the same way embarassing for Kido/Setiawan, reigning World Champ, always losing to Msia pair.

Same goes for Fu/Cai, also losing lately. So, need to go back drawing board.
Yup...study all the tapes...devise new game plans and strategies...all those stuff.

[eaglehelang]

Yup, the JPN pairs deserve credit, but so far, they've only beaten one MAS pair, which just happens to be our top pair.

This same Japanese pair beat Tan BS/Ong SH at WC. Of course if refering to this tourney, yup, the Japanese have studied KKK/TBH's play and found ways to beat them. KKK/TBH being top pair, will be target.

[abedeng]

Ella is the European version of WMC, must be tough for WMC playing an opponent much like herself .......

[vivian]

5 points leading now

[Misty100]

winning and losing is part of the game....everyone has to accept the fact even though it's hard to swallow...i think KKK/TBH played their best to win back-to-back title here, but Jap pairs just got better from them. Learn more KKK/TBH and congrats to Tadashi/Keita, you will be heroes in Japan.

Too early to be declared Heroes just from this match. They still have to play Choong and Lee tmw. :p

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Ella,dont stuck at 9......win it....

[vivian]

i think both exhausted tonight ....

[Tjun Tjun]

More comfortable now.....WMC has a 6 point margin............15-9..............

[Misty100]

Woah, WMV increases her lead to 6 points now.
I think Ella punctured at this juncture.

[vivian]

wmc 15-10 . utilize your leading .........

[Tjun Tjun]

See....Ella refuses to give up .....11-15.................

[well-son]

WMC leading 15-12...

[abedeng]

No matter who wins, hats off to both WMC and Ella. WMC had dethroned the previous World Champ and Ella had beaten new World Champ.

[zqloy]

Oh man, what a marathon!

[Tjun Tjun]

Too close for comfort.....14-15................

[zqloy]

That Ella kid must be a tough nut to crack..

[well-son]

More comfortable now.....WMC has a 6 point margin............15-9..............

What a player Ella is.

From trailing 9-15, now level it at 15-15 :eek:

[Tjun Tjun]

Oh no.....15-15...........

[vivian]

what happen with wmc ??

[vivian]

come on wmc ....

[shenron]

Nope...what i meant they will be remembered as heroes by Japanese fans as they have beaten current world no 1. It's kind of national pride thing...if you live in Japan...you will know that...same as Ogura/Shiota....they are very famous now. Even they have their own photo and books published in Japan.



Too early to be declared Heroes just from this match. They still have to play Choong and Lee tmw. :p

[Tjun Tjun]

What a player Ella is.

From trailing 9-15, now level it at 15-15 :eek:

WMC is tough as nail too......leads by 1 point 16-15..............

[robin7]

i think quite an embarassing for KKK/TBH to beaten twice by same country, Japan....some more, this time by second string of Jap pairs....they have not learnt the lesson yet. Same goes to MK/HS....frequently losing to MAS...
There is no such thing called "embarrassing" in sports.

Do u say it is "embarrassing" for Roger Federer (world number 1) to be beaten twice by Guillermo Canas (world number 143) within a month?

[samuel882]

what happen with wmc ??

YOYO continue to jinx MAS Players...

[Erikku]

OMG WMC WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!
thats why you would never be world no1

[Misty100]

Both girls will be a spent force tmw facing XXF after this match.

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Ella...You can do it...

[shenron]

Nope...what i meant they will be remembered as heroes by Japanese fans as they have beaten current world no 1. It's kind of national pride thing...if you live in Japan...you will know that...same as Ogura/Shiota....they are very famous now. Even they have their own photo and books published in Japan.



Too early to be declared Heroes just from this match. They still have to play Choong and Lee tmw. :p

[well-son]

WMC manage to lead again, 17-15

[zqloy]

OMG WMC WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!
thats why you would never be world no1

Lol man! Whats wrong with u?

[Tjun Tjun]

WMC, WMC, WMC jia you! Haiya.....18-17.....................

[Yojimbo]

Soo close...Ella is very tough and determined...

[vivian]

18 - 18 all now ......

[well-son]

meanwhile, the DO WS Champion, Lu Lan, took the 1st set 21-9

[zqloy]

There is no such thing called "embarrassing" in sports.

Do u say it is "embarrassing" for Roger Federer (world number 1) to be beaten twice by Guillermo Canas (world number 143) within a month?

Now twice by Nalbandian. :p

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Ella 3 more........Finish it....

[Tjun Tjun]

I respect Ella. She is tough ........18-18................

[Misty100]

OMG, marathon match... 18 all now.

[well-son]

Now Ella is leading 19-18

[tommy_bun]

2 more Ella........

[Yojimbo]

.................speechless.....

[well-son]

Tied at 19-19, Match point for WMC, 20-19

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Ella dont let it like the 1st set.....match point Ella

[Misty100]

WMC at match point!!!

[vivian]

[zqloy]

PHEW! WMC won at last!

[Tjun Tjun]

Battle of all battles.........19-19............68 mins.....WMC match point 20-19......WMC wins......21-19..............hooray..............

[samuel882]

NEVER EVER underestimate a RUSSIAN Dolls :p

[Han]

Oh boy, 21-19, Mew Cho boleh, always "pensan" :D

[well-son]

FINISH !!!
WMC make it !!!
Congratulations !!!
A hard job, anyway.

[shenron]

KKK/TBH should learn from WMC....fight hard to the end....

[tommy_bun]

Lost my 2nd PAw

[vivian]

yes m.choo reach semi-finals

[Misty100]

YES!!! WMC won this marathon match!!! 21 :19, 23:21, 21:19
GREAT show from our very own girl, semi finalist is a great achievement!

[Erikku]

hahahaha WMC's was well funny!
i keep refreshing and refreshing to the way you guys were telling the scores
so funny
well done WMC though

[well-son]

Lu Lan leading 5-2 in the 2nd set

[Han]

First time Mew Choo in SF of SS?

[Yojimbo]

WOohoooO!! WMC finally defeated the gritty Ella Diehl...Hats off to both players for making it this far and congrats to Mew Choo for booking a place in the semis..

[zqloy]

First time Mew Choo in SF of SS?

No lah! Remember Malaysian Open? :rolleyes:

[Misty100]

Pi Hongyan got only 9 points from Lu Lan in 1st game. Lu lan must be in tip top condition here.

[Han]

hahahaha WMC's was well funny!
i keep refreshing and refreshing to the way you guys were telling the scores
so funny
well done WMC though

It won't be funny at all if she lose :D

[vivian]

congratulations ,
congratulations ,
congratulations ,
congratulations m.chooo

tonite can sleep good

[robin7]

Wong Mew Choo beat Ella Diehl in 3 thrilling sets (21-19 21-23 21-19) in 69 mins.

Wong Mew Choo wasted 3 match pts at 20-17 in the 2nd game but managed to capitalise it at the 4th match pt in the decider. Congratulations!

[Yojimbo]

Mew Choo went to the finals of MO...

[zqloy]

Now i wonder can WMC pull a WC performance tmr? :p

[abedeng]

Very good show, WMC!!! Though I am kinda sorry to see Ella go, she probably could have beaten another WS q-finalist had she not been on the same part of the draw. Both of them are carbon copies of each other.

[Misty100]

First time Mew Choo in SF of SS?

She was a finalist during MO'07 but lost to ZL in the final early this year.

[well-son]

Here comes Zheng Bo/Gao Ling ....

[Erikku]

can WMC beat XXF again?
tbh i guess not
would be really suprise if she done it again

[shenron]

Good to see WMC keeps on improving....great future for MAS...way to go WMC! Good job to Ella also....fought hard!

[Han]

Hongyan has to do better than that playing at your own backyard, 9-21 in game 1, come on!

[zqloy]

Good to see WMC keeps on improving....great future for MAS...way to go WMC! Good job to Ella also....fought hard!

WMC is a great fighter. Thats how she gained much respect by pulling some great upsets once awhile.

[Misty100]

Too bad for tommy_bun, WMC won the marathon match.

[samuel882]

Here we go... MA...TEU......SIAK

[abedeng]

Is Pi injured, or just off form?

[samuel882]

Pi never did well against Chinese players....

[robin7]

can WMC beat XXF again?
tbh i guess not
would be really suprise if she done it again
What does "tbh" mean? Okay, I got it "to be honest", at 1st I thought "tan boon heong"....haha...:D:D

[Misty100]

Is Pi injured, or just off form?

I think Lu Lan is playing at her very best in this 2 tourneys (Danish & French SS).

[shenron]

typical malaysian's mistakes...:D


What does "tbh" mean? Okay, I got it "to be honest", at 1st I thought "tan boon heong"....haha...:D:D

[Misty100]

can WMC beat XXF again?
tbh i guess not
would be really suprise if she done it again

Let's all hope she surprises us all tomorrow. But I believe after today match, she could be a spent force... that marathon match is not easy to recover and play against the No. 1 seed.

[shenron]

Almost 4 am now....too sleepy. All the best to the players that are still playing and looking forward for tomorrow's match.....

[robin7]

i think quite an embarassing for KKK/TBH to beaten twice by same country, Japan....some more, this time by second string of Jap pairs....they have not learnt the lesson yet. Same goes to MK/HS....frequently losing to MAS...


There is no such thing called "embarrassing" in sports.
Do u say it is "embarrassing" for Roger Federer (world number 1) to be beaten twice by Guillermo Canas (world number 143) within a month?


Now twice by Nalbandian. :p
David Nalbandian (World No. 21) recorded his second win in three weeks over World No. 1 Roger Federer, defeating the Swiss 6-4, 7-6(3) in the BNP Paribas Masters third round on Thursday evening.:D:D

[Misty100]

Pi Hongyan is playing better, forcing a rubber, winning the 2nd game 22:20

[robin7]

Haha... PI took the 2nd game 22-20 by saving 1 match pt & forced the decider...

[well-son]

Pi took the 2nd set, 22-20.
Forcing Lu Lan to rubber.

ZB/GL took the 1st set, 21-16.

[Misty100]

Goodnight everyone! Looking forward to tmw's matches.

[well-son]

Lu Lan in trouble now, trailing 3-7

[robin7]

At BNP Paribas Masters, NADAL is serving for the 1st set against YOUZHNY at 5-4. Yes, NADAL took the 1st set 6-4...

[well-son]

What's happening to Lu Lan, she was playing so good in 1st set, now is trailing 7-15, 8-15... oh she try to catch up...10-15, 11-15 now.

Let's see...

So Far, almost ALL (4 out of 5) the DO winners last week have fallen :eek: in this French Open.

1) XD - He Hanbing/Yu Yang
2) WD - Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen (WO)
3) MD - Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong
4) WS - Lu Lan

Is there another one to complete the table:rolleyes:?


Also, as posted earlier, 4 out of 5 of the recent WC winner have fallen, too :eek::eek::eek:

1) WS- Zhu Lin
2) XD - Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir
3) MD - Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan
4) WD - Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen

The only ONE left, and still "alive" is the MS sector, who is a man called Super Dan, can he survive - to avoid to complete those TWO tables above or will he make the tables complete?

Let's see...

[well-son]

Congrats to Zheng Bo/Gao Ling for their winning 21-16, 21-19.

Meanwhile.....,
Jo/Greysia just lost the 1st set to the Japanese pair, 18-21.
Chen Jin leading 8-2 to Peter Gade.

[demolidor]

Isn't everyone just watching the livescore feature?

[demolidor]

Anyway so far so good in the 2nd for Novita/Polii, maybe they can make my PAW's the tiniest bit respectable ;).

[well-son]

Isn't everyone just watching the livescore feature?

I think so, demolidor.
Don't know tomorrow, maybe astro will provide the live show.

[well-son]

Jo/Greysia seems like to force the Japanese to rubber, 19-17 now

[well-son]

Peter Gade is leading 14-13 after losing the 1st set 15-21

[BlaZe]

[well-son]

Greysia/Jo just won the 2nd set, 21-19.
Rubber set for them...

PG is leading 20-14, another rubber set...

[well-son]

CJ vs PG, 21-15, 15-21.
Let's see wether PG can stand for the decider against the more energetic (wrong spelling?) CJ

[BlaZe]

I hope Peter has got enough stamina to win the 3rd set..
peter already trailing 4-0

CJ vs PG, 21-15, 15-21.

Hi, BlaZe, how r u? I didn't see u around just now.

[THEbaschti]

Cmonnn Peter, don't let CJ run away!!

[well-son]

Hopefully Peter can win the decider.

I doubt it, as CJ's stamina is better than the older PG.
But PG try to catch up now, 8-7 for CJ

[robin7]

I was watching BNP Paribas Masters live, Nadal just beat Youzhny in straight sets 6-4 6-2 in QF. Federer lost to Nalbandian in Round 3.

[THEbaschti]

Peter is leading 11-9 at interval, keep it up!

[robin7]

[Simoneolivelli]

In my opinion gade doesn't have a strong mind.

[robin7]

Peter 14-17 down...

[robin7]

In my opinion gade doesn't have a strong mind.
U mean mentally weak?

[well-son]

STAMINA vs EXPERIENCE
but the age factor cannot be discounted.'

CJ leads 17-15,
let's see...

[Simoneolivelli]

[robin7]

The match between Peter & CJ has been 63 mins... CJ ahead 18-15...

[well-son]

U mean mentally weak?

I think PG is mentally strong.

[BlaZe]

always this 2points gap between the two players
exciting match...
... and now all level 18 all...

[Simoneolivelli]

During important moments of the match he loses some points....then when his opponent has match point PG makes 2 o 3 points...but it too late.

[robin7]

Peter just 1 pt behind 17-18. Tied at 18-18...
