fixtures invloving Indonesian players in 2nd round:
bold letters is my winner prediction
Ms:
Taufik (my president :D) vs Park Sung Hwan
Sony DK vs Yeoh Kay Bin

WD:
Jo Novita/Greysia vs Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili :(
Endang N/Rani M vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung :(

XD:
Flandy/Vita vs Yohan Hadikusumo/Chau Hoi Wah
Nova/Lilyana vs Fang Chieh Min/Cheng Wen Hsing

MD:
Kido/Setiawan vs Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu
Luluk/Alvent vs Erikssen/Lundgaard :o

Matches involving Team INA:
12:45PM MD Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [3] -- a rematch of the China Open Semi-Final and Kido/Hendra should prevail again.

01:30PM MS Taufik Hidayat [6] vs Park Sung Hwan -- Taufik looked relaxed today and I think he will face Lin Dan in the QF.

02:15PM MD Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [6] vs Tan Bin Shen/Ong Soon Hock -- a tricky match for Tony/Candra, but, they should be able to handle the MAS pair.

03:00PM MD Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen [7] vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto -- another rematch and I hope Luluk/Alvent win this time round. The Danes has a slight edge though.

03:45PM MS Sony Dwi Kuncoro [7] vs Yeoh Kay Bin -- Sony was on fire today and he should progress to another QF.

06:00PM XD Fang Chieh-Min/Cheng Wen-Hsing vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- another Chinese-Taipei pair to beat for Nova/Butet and they should progress.

06:45PM WD Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- it will be too much to expect Jo/Greysia to win. A rubber-set will be a bonus to them.

06:45PM XD Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [4] -- Flandy/Vita to win!

10:30PM WD Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung [3] -- a bad schedule for Rani/Endang and I don't think they can beat the Korean pair.

A tough day for the Malaysia camp where only 3 out of 8 matches are expected to win.

Matches involving Malaysian players

12:00PM WD Pei Tty WONG/Eei Hui CHIN [8] vs Miyuki MAEDA/Satoko SUETSUNA - The Malaysians should win over the Japanese pair.:)

12:45PM MS Roslin HASHIM vs Chunlai BAO [3] - The China Open champion is the clear favorite over the Malaysian. An upset is not impossble.:(

02:15PM MD Candra WIJAYA/Tony GUNAWAN [6] vs Bin Shen TAN/Soon Hock ONG - The veterans should have the edge over the Malaysians.:(

03:45PM MS Sony DWI KUNCORO [7] vs Kay Bin YEOH - Sony has been impressive by beating Boonsak in 2 convincing sets.:(

04:30PM MD Michal LOGOSZ/Robert MATEUSIAK vs Khim Wah LIM/Hee Chun MAK - The polish pair has been marked as the conquerers of top ranked pairs by upsetting the 4th seeds Lee/Jung and they should win over the Malaysian juniors.:(

07:30PM MS Hafiz HASHIM vs Kenneth JONASSEN [8] - A tough match for both but the Dane should have the slight edge.:cool:

09:45PM MS Tsuen Seng LEE vs Chong Wei LEE [2] - An internal affair and another breeze for the 2nd seed.:)

10:30PM MD Kien Keat KOO/Boon Heong TAN [1] vs Sudket PRAPAKAMOL/Phattapol NGENSRISUK - The top seeds should prevail but expect some resistance from the Thai pair.:)

camon malaysia!!!!
hope many malaysia shuttlers will prevail to the next round...
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!

It will be the darkest day for Hafiz's professional career if he is to be the only Malaysian to lose tomorrow... :crying:

It will be the darkest day for Malaysia badminton if Hafiz is to be the only Malaysian to win tomorrow...:p

It will be the darkest day for Hafiz's professional career if he is to be the only Malaysian to lose tomorrow... :crying:

but he still be the MAL #1 sparring partner:D

It will be the darkest day for Malaysia badminton if Hafiz is to be the only Malaysian to win tomorrow...:p

LCW can switch role and spar with Hafiz:p




not much change really:p

wow, kkk/tbh is the last to play 2day...
i think its going to be a very late match for them...

not much change really:p

LOL.:D

Seriously, I just hope Hafiz will win tomorrow... He is still the most entertaining badminton player of this century in my opinion. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for his entertainment value.:p

Hafiz vs Kenneth Jonassen
Hafiz will win, because Kenneth is such a nice person, and wants to give Hafiz an early Christmas gift. Plus, I don't think Kenneth wants to be known as the one who retires Hafiz...LOL.

The above statement is questionable :rolleyes:

The above statement is questionable :rolleyes:

How is it questionable?

Who else have you seen that could be leading by 11 game points and still lost the game?

Who else have you seen that could destroy his opponent(like Hafiz did to Jochim) then the next round lost to a weaker(supposed to be) opponent like Chan of Hong Kong?

Who else usually does lots of fancy shots only to get himself in more trouble than necessary?

Hafiz is more entertaining than people give him credit to be... seriously.;)

He was more patience when he played Simon ....it is true that he is fun to watch...I hope that he fights to get to quarter........;)

go malaysia!!!cant wait for WD,MS and MD

I think Hafiz has a chance to win today against Kenneth...........



Without question ! He has shown great tenacity in his win over SIMON and we know SIMON is no pushover.

KJ plays well but a fit Hafiz has no problem beating KJ.

HAFIZ will win until SF this time ... believe me :p

HAFIZ will win until SF this time ... believe me :p
It is really depend on his yoyo pendulum..so I suggest u not to expect too much from yoyo king :p:D (really dangerous :p, especially if u put ur PAW on him or against him :D:D:D:D)

It is really depend on his yoyo pendulum..so I suggest u not to expect too much from yoyo king :p:D (really dangerous :p, especially if u put ur PAW on him or against him :D:D:D:D)

Somehow I imagine a re-definition of yoyo-ing for Hafiz from this HK SS onward - winning a title at one SS, got knocked out at 1st rnd in the next SS (Hi, WMC ...), and then win the title at the 3rd SS, and then got knocked out at 1st rnd in the 4th SS ...

Fat hope ...

i hope and pray that malaysians will win!! come on!!! malaysia!!! malaysia rockss!!

WMC lost......
cant imagine....

won in China open, lose in Hong Kong open first round.........

so i guess, HK open MS champion will be Lin Dan, MD will be KKK/TBH
WS will be XXF

live score started, all watch liv score now.....

Aiyo...Mas WD behind now..

3 more points fr LD

2 more points to win this round.

WD malaysian pair is so weak.........

Lin Dan 5 - 0 leading now

later Cai Yun & Fu Hai Feng vs GZD & XZB is a very fantastic match

Is the Japanese pair too good or is one of the Malaysian gals carrying an injury? It has been one-sided so far.

later Cai Yun & Fu Hai Feng vs GZD & XZB is a very fantastic match

I dont think so...they met in Japan Open 2007, GZD/XZB defeated by CY/FH straight set...the match is very boring:(.

I think CY/FH vs Malaysian pair last night (first round) is the great match so far..:rolleyes:.

yea, they both from China
Still didn't get it...Never mind..Concentrate on the matches..Hopefully it will be interesting as you say...:rolleyes:

Fifth seed falls already as Pi Hongyan give up to Tine, straight sets.

:D:D:D:D:D

Quite easy match for LD to beat Sato particularly at 2nd game, waiting big show tomorrow the classic duel if TH could overcome giant killer ParkSH.

Fifth seed falls already as Pi Hongyan give up to Tine, straight sets.

Taiwanese giant-killer grab the 1st set from the world champion 21-15... :)

chinese taipei will be the surprise package in this tourny again ..

What happened to Bao, fatigue?
I think so. Just imagine he has reached 3 consecutive finals...

15 unforced errors from Kido/Hendra in the first set :eek:

BCL is not smashing much in the 1st set... :)

Let's hope champions from last tournament will not all be so easyly defeated afterwards. Not becoming a trend.

Kido/Hendra reach the interval of the second set with a 11-6 lead.

Roslin u can do it ............

wut happen to Mk-HS ?

15 unforced errors from Kido/Hendra in the first set :eek:

wong edan [ crazy]... they gave away 15 points to TPE pair :mad:

Bao lost 1st game. Hope they go into rubber.

come on roslin!!! roslin won first set!! hope roslin can make an upset!!

Roslin win 1st set 21-19 yehaaaaaaaaaa

Yes, Roslin made it the 1st game...

What a suprise result from YOYO Brother

Roslin took the first set, he is being more consistent than his little bro.
A GP champion recently, very close game with Chen Jin in CO, beat LHI yesterday, and now hoping he can take Bao down.

Bao lost 1st game. Hope they go into rubber.
Yeah.. Lets Pray for it ;)

What hapenned to Bao???Retire???

That would be more interesting for everyone.

Wut happen to Kido Setiawan ? lead from 20-13 NOW 20-17 ??? omg

Roslin wins...................... what a suprise.

Yet again, Kido/Hendra nearly let go of a 7 points lead from leading 20-13 before taking the set 21-19 :mad:

KIDO SETIAWAN win 1st game 21-19

Is BCL injured?

KM/SH came back, won 2nd set 21-19

What hapenned to Bao???Retire???

It's close game, could go either way. Not bad for them.

hey what happened to bao's match? retired? is he injured?

Two China Open champions have bowed out....I hope this is not going to be a trend :cool:

Based on Live Scoring of tournament software looks like BCL withdraw, injured or fatigue??

15 unforced errors from Kido/Hendra in the first set :eek:
The WC just beat the Taiwanese pair last week in Guangzhou in 2 comfortable sets. :eek:

Boa Chun Lai retire ??? hmmmm

i hope someone will record the QF match between hafiz and roslin..that is..if hafiz survives today

this taipei pair r doing quite well eh, first it was semi finals at CO...now they r serious contenders eh...

Kido team lost in 1st set and win in 2nd set or?

BOA and WMC already gone ...but its good for them to refresh themself :P

The WC just beat the Taiwanese pair last week in Guangzhou in 2 comfortable sets. :eek:

Complacency perhaps.....and 31 unforced errors so far...a bit too many to be comfortable :cool:

Based on Live Scoring of tournament software looks like BCL withdraw, injured or fatigue??
Yup, good for Roslin, Hafiz and LCW.

Two China Open champions have bowed out....I hope this is not going to be a trend :cool:

The World Champion ups their tempo and leads 11-2 at the interval.

there's no way that Kido?hendra will lose to those Taiwanese..unlike KKK/TBH, Kido/Hendra is considered the most stable MD pair so far :D..hardly ever lost to unknown pair/low rank pairs

MK / HS 15-21 21-19 8-1 TPE


thx for updating me
can you update the latest result now for me?

there's no way that Kido?hendra will lose to those Taiwanese..unlike KKK/TBH, Kido/Hendra is considered the most stable MD pair so far :D..hardly ever lost to unknown pair/low rank pairs

most stable? i LOL'ed

thx for updating me
can you update the latest result now for me?

17-6 in favour of the MK/HS

Thanks robin and PlayerFromMalaya...Hopefully Hafiz can win an secure a place for Mas in semis...

8-18 liow..... on NOS now

cant wait for taufik's match..hope either him or park will beat lin dan next..to prevent another walkover in the semis..or maybe sony could help also by beatin chen jin..

INA just wrap it up.

there's no way that Kido?hendra will lose to those Taiwanese..unlike KKK/TBH, Kido/Hendra is considered the most stable MD pair so far :D..hardly ever lost to unknown pair/low rank pairs

I agree with u.. compare to world no 1 n 2 who lost to unknown pair.LOL.

indonesian MD pair advanced with a 15-21 21-19 21-9 win

After toying around in the first two sets, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan decided to finish the match quickly and they did that by beating Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu 15-21, 21-19, 21-9. They should await Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man tomorrow.

Sudket won...Kido/Hendra won...Next Taufik Hidayat...

good...6 more minutes taufik will be on court

there's no way that Kido?hendra will lose to those Taiwanese..unlike KKK/TBH, Kido/Hendra is considered the most stable MD pair so far :D..hardly ever lost to unknown pair/low rank pairs

please dont make it sound like it would be such a crime to lose to them. being taiwanese, i take offense to your tone -.-...though i will admit that i am surprised the taiwanese have become so good. good for Taiwan!

Why BCL stop play?
he injured?

Yes! Quarterfinal ticket for Kido/Setiawan, seems TPE MD devastated by INA pair at decider game.

whats wrong to the livescore?? how come there are no match on the court now??:confused::eek:

whats wrong with BCL match??:eek:
Is he retired?? injured? :confused:
anybody knows why??
Let me guess:
(1) Fatigue due to reaching 3 consecutive finals.
(2) Avoid humiliating defeat to a lower ranked player after losing the 1st game.
(3) Injury? Maybe not serious.

Look like most MS Mas players on one side draw now, and the other side with Chn and Ind. Not well balanced draws.

next is Mr. Presideeennntttt...AYOO..AYOO INDONESIAA..KUINGIINN..INDONESIA MENAANGG..(c'mon c'mon Indonesia..I want Indonesia to win)..:D:D:D:D..IN-DO-NE-SIA!! dung dung dung dung!!!

2007 China Open SS (2) Champion

2 DOWN, 3 TO GO

whats wrong to the livescore?? how come there are no match on the court now??:confused::eek:

the next matches will be at 1.30..so....

I really hope Hafiz wake up in this Hong Kong Open..Although it is the last tournament of the year,it is still not so late for him.Next year we have Thomas Cup and really need his help.Despite we criticize him or scolded him,we have to admit that no other player can take over his place yet.We still need him to lesser LCW burden.Talent is definitely in him,its all depends on his will to win and attitude.Hopefully he won't dissapoint me in the later match.

According to Hau-Ge, Bao Chunlai injured his leg. Kido also made too many errors in the first set....still not awake yet :cool:

please dont make it sound like it would be such a crime to lose to them. being taiwanese, i take offense to your tone -.-...though i will admit that i am surprised the taiwanese have become so good. good for Taiwan!
didn't mean to offense any taiwanese, sorry, peace :)..

2007 China Open SS (2) Champion

2 DOWN, 3 TO GO

Road for Kido/Hendra to win back-to-back titles:
2 DOWN, 3 TO GO :D

Maybe Park SH can do the magic 2nd time around?

the next matches will be at 1.30..so....



oo rite... sorryy:p

the players are on court now... LOL:D

I am off to QES to watch the match.....

didn't mean to offense any taiwanese, sorry, peace :)..
Be reminded not to offend your neighbor, okay? :mad:

I think TH should has learn from LD experience.

where's our on site reporter Kwun? Any news about Bao's status?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe Park SH can do the magic 2nd time around?

or maybe taufik will do it this time...hmm..maybe not..dont want him to walkout again like last year..go park!

Maybe Park SH can do the magic 2nd time around?
To TH? Nah, I'm expecting TH-LD QF showdown.

please dont make it sound like it would be such a crime to lose to them. being taiwanese, i take offense to your tone -.-...though i will admit that i am surprised the taiwanese have become so good. good for Taiwan!
Totally agree. A couple of the TPE MDs are rather gifted which means they will improve by leaps and bounds with each successive tournament. They just need to build up more match experience.To ignore TPE MD as a threat would be foolish.

I am off to QES to watch the match.....

Enjoy.. And greetings to Fastdrop, Hau Ge etc.. :)

Take photos! :D

Agreed with u. Hopefully he can take care of Kenneth later and meet his brother in QF.

didn't mean to offense any taiwanese, sorry, peace :)..

it's totally cool. Indonesia is cool as well. lol, and so are Malaysia, Singapore, etc...all the Asian neighbors...except for one major Asian nation/badminton powerhouse...for obvious reasons and i think we all know what im referring to. but enough of that :D

Be reminded not to offend your neighbor, okay? :mad:

lol thanks robin7

head to head TH-PSW so far; 3-0....cmon TH..pls meet LD in QF

where's our on site reporter Kwun? Any news about Bao's status?


He injured his leg....

Well, just came to this thread to find that Bao went down injured, practically the same fate as WMC.

And Kido/Setiawan almost went down to TPE pair, could it be fatigue is also setting in? They've got SEA Games duty next week, right?

Pretty good young lads, this TPE pair. Practically destroyed Chew/Hong yesterday, and Chew was a World Championship bronze medallist with Chan Chong Ming.

Be reminded not to offend your neighbor, okay? :mad:
Did I?:confused: sorry again then :)

DID BAO Hurt himself or chickened out after losing the 1st ?:D

Is it 1st time in this year Roslin pass 2nd round in SS? :D

And Kido/Setiawan almost went down to TPE pair, could it be fatigue is also setting in? They've got SEA Games duty next week, right?


First set could be due to loss of concentration when the score was 15-15 before Fang/Lee won 6 straight points to win the set.

It was okay in the second set when the INA pair was ahead 20-13....again, Fang/Lee stormed back with 6 straight points to make it 20-19. Luckily, Kido/Hendra won the final point.

As for the final set, it was basically the real stuff from the World Champion.

Yup, Kido/Hendra will go straight to SEA Games in Korat. They will be expected to play 2 mathes in the Team SF and probably Final and another possible 3 matches if they are to reach the Final of the Individual event. Of course, they might lose early :cool:

I think TH will win this game.

coz he is playing around the girl now.
LOL!!!

Did I?:confused: sorry again then :)

no its ok, im not that offended. i am surprised that Taiwan's improving so much. I love Taiwan! lol, but we still have a little ways to go, at least in the men's department.

He injured his leg....

he did? i just saw him walking out of the stadium as i was coming in....

DID BAO Hurt himself or chickened out after losing the 1st ?:D

Psttttttttt :rolleyes::rolleyes:

DID BAO Hurt himself or chickened out after losing the 1st ?:D

According to Hau-Ge, He DID injure his leg.

DID BAO Hurt himself or chickened out after losing the 1st ?:D

he chickened out for sure..haha just joking..but that was still my first guess ..:D

According to Hau-Ge, Bao Chunlai injured his leg. Kido also made too many errors in the first set....still not awake yet :cool:
Really? How convenient.One title won with a lot of 'assists' last week and he stumbled here in R2 to a 30+ year old opponent.

Go Park, make it more interesting, like last time. Give TH a scare or do something...

taufik is not bad.........

Looks like Taufik is in good form right now.

wow..looks like taufik's doing really well in this tournament..

Taufik surely will win the first set
just see whether Park will win in 2nd and 3rd set or not.......

Taufik looks set to engage himself in another encounter with Lin Dan tomorrow...what a match it will be :rolleyes:

Look like Park is no match for a refreshed TH.

He injured his leg....

That's just too bad, I hope is not too serious. I was so happy to see him play aggressively in China Open and now ...

Did I?:confused: sorry again then :)
I know u r unintentional! :)
Btw, your president is looking good to meet LD...

10 smashes, 5 net winners, 5 clear winners from Taufik to win the first set 21-12...impressive indeed! He really looked fresh and raring to go yesterday.

The 20-year-old Lu Lan is trailing... Cmon my PAW on u...

Really? How convenient.One title won with a lot of 'assists' last week and he stumbled here in R2 to a 30+ year old opponent.


BAO would rather be hurt and retiring than face the ultimate truth waiting for him (facing LCW!).:D It would have been too daunting a task !:D

The Olympic Champion downs Park Sung Hwan in 1st set, 21-12.

Lu Lan gonna lose in first set?

10 smashes, 5 net winners, 5 clear winners from Taufik to win the first set 21-12...impressive indeed! He really looked fresh and raring to go yesterday.

Now I am worry, I don't think Chong Wei will go far with his tired body.

oh great...TH makes the giant killer down...maybe TH drinks Extrajossssssssss before....go..go TH..dung...dung...dung

Poor Bao , must be pretty bad , else he would not have quit the game .
Sheer luck for Roslin.

Well, just came to this thread to find that Bao went down injured, practically the same fate as WMC.

And Kido/Setiawan almost went down to TPE pair, could it be fatigue is also setting in? They've got SEA Games duty next week, right?

Pretty good young lads, this TPE pair. Practically destroyed Chew/Hong yesterday, and Chew was a World Championship bronze medallist with Chan Chong Ming.
There is a big difference.WMC completed her match knowing she will lose.BCl appeared to retire to avoid a humiliating score being recorded.

back to back games is pretty exhausting for most players. Most wiinners of CSS seems to be suffering from fatigue.

hope Taufik match gonna become Rubber

hope Taufik match gonna become Rubber
yes ... come on Park!:D

tight 2nd game so far for TH against PSH..challenge for TH begin

it seems LinDan is watching the match of TH vs PSW....and learn from TH how to defeat PSW

There is a big difference.WMC completed her match knowing she will lose.BCl appeared to retire to avoid a humiliating score being recorded.

Please so some sympathy. I think he is genuine.

hope Taufik match gonna become Rubber

certainly possible as Park leading by 6-5 in game 2

oh great...TH makes the giant killer down...maybe TH drinks Extrajossssssssss before....go..go TH..dung...dung...dung
With the rest TH got while Park was playing at CSS, Taufik got a better chance.

Now I am worry, I don't think Chong Wei will go far with his tired body.


I am not -- his recovery rate is quite good. It leaves Taufik and PG as real challengers but at their last encounter PG was not playing up to scratch.

Taufik would have to be his utmost best to beat LCW. It will still be a good match between the two.

back to back games is pretty exhausting for most players. Most wiinners of CSS seems to be suffering from fatigue.
So we can expect LCW to go out today?
When a player win in a filthy manner, the truth will surface faster than you expect.

I am not -- his recovery rate is quite good. It leaves Taufik and PG as real challengers but at their last encounter PG was not playing up to scratch.

Taufik would have to be his utmost best to beat LCW. It will still be a good match between the two.
LCW physicall recovery rate is good, but let's hope nothing take him off his mental focus . It would be good to watch LCW plays TH. would love to see LCW plays PG.

in his top form, he is not easy to be defeated by anyone even LD, LCW, PG, BCL,CJ,and SDK..but if it comes to his lousy form..hmpphh..Anup Sridhar did it once..C'mon Taufiikk..ur my president..U r the man..U r The best!! be the champ and win ur 1st SS title in this year..!!

The result of a rematch between Park and LD would be hard to predict. But a match between LD and TH, would LD be the possible winner according to more recent results?

So we can expect LCW to go out today?

Bao is a good player . It's difficult to tell if he would have won or not without all the "bonus backing up" at CSS.
Anyway lets hope LCW will be mentally strong and focus this time around.

neck to neck game in 2nd set..c'mon taufiikkk!!! crush himm!!!

There is a big difference.WMC completed her match knowing she will lose.BCl appeared to retire to avoid a humiliating score being recorded.
Yup, as I mentioned it earlier. BCL chickened out.

Lan.Lu over Jie.Yao

it seems LinDan is watching the match of TH vs PSW....and learn from TH how to defeat PSW
I guess TH has a better chance of beating LD this time.

Btw, it is PSH, Park Sung Hwan.

Yup, as I mentioned it earlier. BCL chickened out.

Please respect the player...:)

There's no need to speculate here. CHN is tops in giving backhanded compliment.When they need to poison a match, they're indirectly saying CHN's opponent is better and their player can only win under favoured circumstances. That's why you only see certain CO matches being carefully managed.

TH needs to finsh the match in straight sets to conserve his energy to face LD.

Maybe HT show great vigilance with PSW :-)

18-16..smash winner from Taufik..c'mon!! 3 more points..crush him..!!

Please respect the player...:)
To LYB's players? :rolleyes:

if taufik meet LD this time, I think he will win the game (80%)

oh my god..
roslin rock!!

IF PSH wins this 2nd, Taufik might not be able to fend off the Ginseng Power.

woooooo 18-18 for PSW

2 more to go..!!!

come on park, if u win this set, u can win the match.
taufik will poop out on 3rd set.


darn...

Please so some sympathy. I think he is genuine.

It's not uncommon for players to give up a match in order to avoid aggravating his/her injury. Lee Wah Wah too had to concede the match yesterday. Just hope that these players will make a strong comeback soon.

c'mon TH!!! finish him!! U can DO IT!!! LD is waiting for U..!!

if taufik meet LD this time, I think he will win the game (80%)

Why? How did you come up 80%?

With the rest TH got while Park was playing at CSS, Taufik got a better chance.

maybe yes..maybe no...and everybody knows that TH is better than PSW (their record b4 this match is 3;0 for TH)

HT won, yess I have got 8 point from PAW

Yes Tauifk Won !!!

YES, Taufik won 21-12, 21-19

During the post-match interview, BCL sounded like he beat LCW fair and square. Poor BCL. Okay. Case closed on BCL. Let's concentrate on the coming matches.

Malaysian MD team gonna start........

without girls surrondíng him.... not it seems taufik has difficulty :-p
Not like at 1st Game.
But now finally he won ... Good Luck in Quarter

CW/TG now...



my fave...

To LYB's players? :rolleyes:
LYB is LYB, his players is his players. in a way I feel sorry for his players that have to face him daily. (I believe to work under LYB is sort of like working for a difficult boss).
I respect LYB players for they are good players.LYB is another story.

yessss!!! sealed!! next round against LD..samurai show down!!



How do you know LD won't retire ?........only guessing so don't get excited.:D

i hopes Tan/Ong can get a good lesson from Chandra/Tony

or hope they can give a good lesson to chandra/tony:cool:

As badminton fans expected, TH-LD showdown will happen tomorrow!

good job TH. Sorry to miss a rematch between Park and LD.

Chandra/Tonywill beat Tan/Ong on 2 games

most stable? i LOL'ed

what he meant stable here is mk/hs lose to unknown/lower ranked pair rarely :D

As badminton fans expected, TH-LD showdown will happen tomorrow!


And then LCW will be waiting for them !:D I think they better think about that.

During the post-match interview, BCL sounded like he beat LCW fair and square. Poor BCL. Okay. Case closed on BCL. Let's concentrate on the coming matches.
What do you expect him to say? 'I cheated him to win'?

LYB is LYB, his players is his players. in a way I feel sorry for his players that have to face him daily. (I believe to work under LYB is sort of like working for a difficult boss).
I respect LYB players for they are good players.LYB is another story.

how do you know? maybe he is very kind to his players?
