Malaysia Open 2008 - Day 6 - Jan 20 - FINAL

[abedeng]

Why can't Tine just do the baseline smash, ZL doesn't have a good defence.

[carine]

6 all now..........

[Pemuda]

Welcome back Pemuda ;)

Thanks bro!

ZL is cute but I want Tine to win.

[samuel882]

Yesterday ZL basically can returned every single smash by WMC, but she find it tough for the smashed/dropshots by Tine now

[carine]

ZL leading 9-6...

[abedeng]

Bright idea, as Gillian Clark would say.

Fortunately, ZL makes error on the next rally.

[Pemuda]

Tine sure can smash.

[samuel882]

back levelling at 10-10 , tense moments

[abedeng]

Deception followed by smash. That's great.

ZL makes sideline and baseline errors, score level.

[carine]

10 all now..........

[Tjun Tjun]

Guys,

By the way, I think ZL is sweet looking. I like her legs. ;)

Pls don't distract me....I'm focusing on the quality of their play.....:D:D:D

[Pemuda]

11-10, close fight

[abedeng]

Tine's drop clipped the tape, sending the trajectory just wide. Toilet break 11-10 ZL.

[samuel882]

[quote=Pemuda;770924]Tine sure can smash.[/quot
same as the cute ZL ;)

[madbad]

The streaming is terrible. It's stalled several times already.

[ctjcad]

Why can't Tine just do the baseline smash, ZL doesn't have a good defence.
..to save a bit more energy??:confused:..But i think now is the crucial stage where Tine has to up her game and smash & attack more..It's now or never, to force a rubber set..:cool:

[abedeng]

"You are doing certain things wrong" say ZN to ZL.

[carine]

ZL leading 12-10

[madbad]

What the... they're taking a 3pm break??:mad::mad:

[Pemuda]

12-12, Tine fighting back.

[abedeng]

ZL's defensive clear just out.

Then another error, smashing to the net

[ctjcad]

The streaming is terrible. It's stalled several times already.

What the... they're taking a 3pm break??:mad::mad:
..now RTM is showing a news report...:( :p

[samuel882]

The Danes started to send ZL all over the corner

[Pemuda]

13-13 so unlucky Tine

[samuel882]

ZL left stranded in many occasions with great deceptions by Tine

[Tjun Tjun]

Tine, Tine, Tine.....more oil....15-13.....

[abedeng]

The crowd is back at their feet, as Tine provides some competition.

Regains the initiative with crosscourt shot.

ZL smashes out in despair, sections of the crowd start booing.

[Pemuda]

16-13 go Tine go

[samuel882]

The fire enginees started for Danes, not looking good for ZL

[pramilainc]

Has it been decided which CHN WS is going Olympics.. ? Could it be ZL in place of ZN. In that case ZN is probably hoping from the base line that ZL fails..

[carine]

Tine leading 16-14

[Han]

more report please, RTM switch to news now

[eaglehelang]

..now RTM is showing a news report...:( :p

Me is here. Patience, patience, RTM always like that, 5 min news(supposed to be 5 min)

[Pemuda]

15-16 great play

[ctjcad]

The fire enginees started for Danes, not looking good for ZL
..and pushing, Tine!...All out, now or neveeeeerr!!..We want to see a rubber set..:cool:

Me is here. Patience, patience, RTM always like that, 5 min news(supposed to be 5 min)
..YES, news is just over!!..*phew*..back to the match..:)

[abedeng]

Great rally, won by ZL after Tine makes smash error.

Tine's sideline clear is out, level again.

[ronk]

Help, stupid news. I want to see the WS game. Any updates other than scores?

[Tjun Tjun]

Good rallies but ended poorly by Tine.....16-15....now 16-16.......

[carine]

16 all now..........

[Birdwood]

Has it been decided which CHN WS is going Olympics.. ? Could it be ZL in place of ZN. In that case ZN is probably hoping from the base line that ZL fails..

In my opinion, ZN is history, too old to play anymore.

[samuel882]

wow ! another great rally end with over excited Tine hitting the shutltle wide on side court

[Han]

Has it been decided which CHN WS is going Olympics.. ? Could it be ZL in place of ZN. In that case ZN is probably hoping from the base line that ZL fails..

Chinese still very possible sending 3 players if more than 2 are in the top 4 ranking ...

[abedeng]

Again, at critical pts, Tine made baseline errors. ZL huffs and puffs, takes her sweet time.

[samuel882]

Tine keep sending the shuttle out , ZL 4 pts in a row

[wilfredlgf]

For those unable to hear Hasbullah

"Whooooooa sathuuu pukuulan chantik daripada... Teen Rasmussen".

[Pemuda]

Too many mistakes by Tine

[carine]

ZL leading 19-16

[extremenanopowe]

ok. salam muhibbah. back to streaming...

To Singapore residents...
Anyone in singapore watching TV1? My reception on TV is blur while other channel is good. Is yours the same? Wonder if this is only a TV1 transmission issue. I checked with HDB and they said TV1 transmission problem. If you happen to be in singapore, do let me know. Can PM me lor. tks.

[samuel882]

Sudden change of momentum allow the World Champs turn the match on her way

[abedeng]

Another Tine error, made up by ZL's mistake at the net. 17-19.

Now or never for Tine as ZL takes time out.

[Pemuda]

ZL is a babe!!!

[samuel882]

Tine must not get over exicted again. 18-19
damn close

[Tjun Tjun]

Level 19-19......great smash by Tine..............

[samuel882]

Another BIG BANG, 3 pts in a row for Tine to leve 19-19

[abedeng]

Tine's bodysmash levels the score, it's now about nerves.

Gains gamept with ZL smash error.

[extremenanopowe]

Betul... Yeah...


ZL is a babe!!!

[carine]

game point for Tine

[ctjcad]

..did i see one booming smash by Tine, sending ZL crumbling to the floor!!...that's the way, guuurl!!..:cool:

And it's rubber set!!....The crowd goes wild!!..Good job, Tine!!:cool:

[Pemuda]

Come on Tine!!!

[Tjun Tjun]

Can you believe it.....match point to Tine.....ZL sent bird into the net.....

[samuel882]

What a turnaround for this set !

[carine]

Tine took 2nd set

[Tjun Tjun]

Great gutsy play by Tine.......what a fightback.....21-19.......

[kwun]

unbelieveable. ZL fell asleep for 3 point and let Tine back into the match.

[abedeng]

The crowd explodes as Tine forces rubber with another crosscourt net shot.

[extremenanopowe]

aiyoyo.... silly dropshot mistake...

[samuel882]

The confidence rattle for ZL now...

[apontoh]

what a fabulous comeback by TIne. she has the momentum, and crowd support. whereas Zhu Lin has youth and stamina, presumably.

[Pemuda]

What a great fight back by Tine. The Danes are doing something right with their badminton.

As for ZL, to me she is a hottie like Lilyana Natsir.

[abedeng]

Tine executes another body attack.

[Birdwood]

unbelieveable. ZL fell asleep for 3 point and let Tine back into the match.

Just unlucky for her with the shots, that's all

[Pemuda]

Tine is on fire now.

[eaglehelang]

Betul... Yeah...
LOL, hot blooded young men.
Some find the taaaall Tine more beautiful, but good determination from this Denmark girly

[samuel882]

Tine can play some very well net shot too

[abedeng]

Good start by Tine, ZL is not moving well. 4-1.

[ronk]

Is it my imagination or the lousy resolution from the Internet, but Tine looks like she is about to cry?

[Birdwood]

ZL did not smash, must be tired

[Tjun Tjun]

What a smash close to the sideline by Tine.......3-1.....make it 4-1 now.....

[Pemuda]

Come on lets have an upset. It is good for badminton!!!

[samuel882]

6-1 , this is really unbelievable

[carine]

Tine leading 6-1

[kwun]

Zhu Lin ... out of gas?

[samuel882]

ZL looks more tired than the Danes

[Pemuda]

Zhu Lin ... out of gas?

But her legs are hot!

[Jessica]

As usual,Zhu Lin lack of stamina...She look very tired..

[abedeng]

It's all Tine's to win, as long as she cuts down on her mistakes. Another body attack give her 7-2 advantage.

[Pemuda]

Come on Tine, you got ZL in your pocket now.

[Tjun Tjun]

Weak reply by ZL....Tine put it away.....7-2....now 8-2.......gap widening.....9-2.....ZL panicking?

[samuel882]

ZL is more alike BAO CL in the MS :p

[ctjcad]

The crowd explodes as Tine forces rubber with another crosscourt net shot.

The confidence rattle for ZL now...

It's all Tine's to win, as long as she cuts down on her mistakes. Another body attack give her 7-2 advantage.
..a repeat of last yr's Indonesian Open WS Final, where ZM accidentally hit ZL in her eye...After that, for some reason, ZL pretty much played apprehensively and uninspired..

*Hasbullah said, some people pronounce Tine's name as "Ti-ne" whilst others call her "Ti-na"..;)

[carine]

Tine leading 9-3

[ma-fung]

cmon Zl brings me some exciting matches.

[abedeng]

ZL is helped by 2 Tine errors, 5-9

[kwun]

aggression from ZL. 5-9

[Pemuda]

ZL coming back, Tine needs to cut down on those mistakes

[samuel882]

ZL gas is loaded now.. 6-9

[ma-fung]

I will always pray for you ZL

[kwun]

ZL fights her way back into the game. 6-9.

[carine]

Tine leading 10-6

[Birdwood]

ZL is more alike BAO CL in the MS :p

Why you think that? ZL is in final, the other two are not :rolleyes:

[ronk]

ZL is making a comeback. Tine is letting her back in the third game.

[carine]

Tine leading 11-6

[Tjun Tjun]

Finally another point to Tine after a long wait.....10-6.....what a beauty sending the shuttle deep......

[samuel882]

11-6, a great plays by Tine, she is rising high on her confidence

[coolhandluke]

Zhu Lin looks fatigued. Her stamina issues continues to be her undoing.

[Pemuda]

6-11 , Tine just needs to hold steady.

[abedeng]

Tine musn't try too finish the rally too quickly, ZL is in no condition to run.

2 ZL errors give Tine 5 pt advantage. ZL in for a tongue lashing by ZN.

[carine]

Tine leading 13-6

[Pemuda]

7-13, looking good for Tine

[abedeng]

Simple and well constructed rally, finished by Tine's sideline smash.

[samuel882]

Tine leading 13-6
:eek::confused::eek::eek::confused:

[Tjun Tjun]

Reply not deep enough...Tine smashed it....13-6.....now 13-7....

[Tjun Tjun]

2 relatively easy points to ZL.......9-13.......

[ctjcad]

Tine musn't try too finish the rally too quickly, ZL is in no condition to run.

2 ZL errors give Tine 5 pt advantage. ZL in for a tongue lashing by ZN.
..Hasbullah said, "Tine doesn't have to jump to execute her smashes because she's so tall"..but added "the game is still in reach for ZL"..

[abedeng]

Tine has a habit of wiping the soles of her shoes, almost everytime she does something wrong.

ZL mounts fightback at the net.

[morphy]

Goo Tine!,,,,,,,,

[extremenanopowe]

Old fart already lah. Still trying to think young... be positive...:D


LOL, hot blooded young men.
Some find the taaaall Tine more beautiful, but good determination from this Denmark girly

[samuel882]

Game is not over yet. ZL chasing back strongly 11-14

[damouse]

Wow...I thought Tine was heading for a win at 13-8...Zhu Lin is not giving up.

I still want Tine to win, though. :D

[susy_forever]

ok, serena williams match is over...now concentration to badminton!

c-mon Tine!

[extremenanopowe]

It's a matter of who cracked first. Or makes more mistakes. They should have statistics to count the unforced errors like tennis.

[Tjun Tjun]

Be careful Tine.....you're only 2 points ahead......

[Pemuda]

time out, time to get some chips

[damouse]

Oh no, ankle injury for Tine!!

[abedeng]

Tine smashes wide.Slips on the next rally. Lead is now whittled down to 2.

Another break. Tine is injured.

[Birdwood]

Tine hurt and takes break?

[carine]

Tine injured...

[morphy]

did tine sprained her ankle?

[extremenanopowe]

oh oh.. bad news for Tine....

[samuel882]

This is not a really good news for Tine on her left ankle

[extremenanopowe]

Wah ZL will be saying... "heng ah".....

[susy_forever]

what happen to Tine...foot problem?

[ronk]

Hope Tine is okay. To loose through injury when she is ahead is very sad.

[madbad]

Oooh, looks like Tine's injured. Ahhhh, she sprained her ankle as she lunged towards the net. Tine being taped now.

[kwun]

Tine slipped and seems to have twisted her ankle a little bit.

coaches are in court discussing with her right now.

looks like she need to re-do her strapping on her right ankle.

yes. replay shows that she twisted her ankle inwards.

medics are examining her now.

[Pemuda]

Time out is actually good for Tine. Allow her to get her thoughts together.

[damouse]

Get up and go Tine...get up and go...go go go!!!

[susy_forever]

who is the guy with Zhang ning in Coach area?

[Rubinjo]

Wwwhhhyyyy!!!:'(

[kwun]

medics are re-applying some tapes on her ankle.

she seems to be ok.

standing up and crowd is cheering for her sportswomanship.

[abedeng]

The game continues ....

[extremenanopowe]

I believe Zl knows the drill now. All the 4 corners...

[Birdwood]

I'm not sure Tine can play more (?)

[madbad]

After the tape job, Tine is up and tying her shoes. Tine up 14-12, and ZL serves

[kwun]

Tine back in court.

12-14. play.

[Rubinjo]

Ok she's ready to play:D

[madbad]

Tine's height is a huge advantage as she intercepts ZL's clears

[Pemuda]

Come on Denmark!!

[damouse]

Tine's ankle is hanging on...hope it hangs on enough for the next 5 points...

[Tjun Tjun]

The break is good for Tine winning her another 2 points.....16-12......

[kwun]

ZL clears out. 16-12.

[abedeng]

Tine shows positive movements, using more of her long reach.

[ctjcad]

did tine sprained her ankle?
..time out...

*Before the injury timeout, i heard Hasbullah was garbling some words and giggling...anyone understood what he was saying??..:p

[kwun]

xcourt net out. 13-17.

[Pemuda]

Tine's height is a huge advantage as she intercepts ZL's clears

ZL's legs are an advantage to her. :p

[extremenanopowe]

Zhu Lin had her own pressure. Mistakes.

[susy_forever]

16-13 for tine..

i hope she can hold this!

[kwun]

Tine drives loose shot into net. 14-16.

[abedeng]

Great rally ends with Tine's mistake at the net, 14-16.

[Tjun Tjun]

Tine could not finish a long rally...each time won by ZL......16-14.......

[Rubinjo]

Whatta Ralley:S

[kwun]

Tine smash service out. 15-16. Tine seems not affected by ankle.

duh. ZL clears out *again*. 17-15

[abedeng]

Sideline smash looked in, called out.

Balanced by ZL clear out.

[samuel882]

ZL is a great rally players

[susy_forever]

Thomas Stuer look so nervous! :haha:

[Tjun Tjun]

Another long rally won by ZL......16-17.....

[kwun]

speedy play by ZL ended with a net tap just rolling over by ZL. 16-17.

[ctjcad]

Tine's height is a huge advantage as she intercepts ZL's clears
..she should avoid any clears or lobs and just keep the shuttle down...

*Hasbullah said the match has gone for more than an hour....i, personally, don't feel it has gone that long...:p

[abedeng]

ZL uses Taufik skills at he net. Tine uses LCW skills to the baseline.

[Pemuda]

Tine's mentality should be an example for all Malaysian shuttlers.

[susy_forever]

18-16

brilliant rally!

[kwun]

cross court smash by Tine lands IN!

18-16.

this will be a close one.

[extremenanopowe]

whoa... didn't know there's such a 'happiness shot' from hasbullah..

[carine]

Tine leading 19-16

[kwun]

the drift is killing ZL. one that really looks out from camera angle lands in!

19-16... still hope. but fading slowly.

[abedeng]

ZL misjudgement is costly, tries to make up with cross court drop.

[kwun]

ZL manipulate to get a short underhand clear. xcourt smash to the ground. 17-19.

[carine]

match point for Tine

[Pemuda]

One more point!!!

[susy_forever]

the drift is killing ZL. one that really looks out from camera angle lands in!

19-16... still hope. but fading slowly.
..it's a very exciting match!!..1 more pt for Tine!!...:cool:

*Hasbullah said ZL misjudged another shot that would've gone out; it was the 2nd time...He also said if Tine wins, it'll be a historical win for her as this will be the first title for a European WS player to win in M'sia..

[susy_forever]

congratulation Tine!

What a fighter!

[kwun]

ZL misjudged!!!

Tine Rasmussen jumping up and down!!!

18-21 / 21-19 / 21-18.

[abedeng]

And Tine celebrates ala LCW, hugging her coaches.

YOHOO!! THE CROWD IS BACK TO LIFE!!!!!

[Jessica]

Wow,i am really happy with Tine win...She is definitely a player to watch.

[badminto_expert]

ZL lost...hee....


Cmon ZL you're not dead yet

[Pemuda]

You beat a top class chinese shuttler today.

You fought against all odds.

You fought on despite your injury.

Thanks for giving us great game today. Well done!!

[carine]

coming next LCW VS LHI

[extremenanopowe]

A lesson for ZL. shd have wrapped it up earlier on 2nd game. Anyway, all great players have to go through these phases. But well done panjang!

[Han]

First European female player to win Malaysia Open? Bravo Tine for such high level fighting spirit and wonderful attacking skill!

[abedeng]

As expected, the VIP seat are now full, with the DPM and Sports Minister among guests.

[extremenanopowe]

ok ok. Ah Chong come aledy... tiam tiam pls...

[eaglehelang]

Yes Han, First Mat salleh to win MO.
Another crack in the great wall. Zhu Lin's younger than Tine right? She looks more tired than 28 yr old Tine.

[sentosa]

thank god, WMC didn't met TINE if she did she'll definitely get slaughtered.

[eaglehelang]

As expected, the VIP seat are now full, with the DPM and Sports Minister among guests.
Datin, I mean Datuk Najib's wife there?

[morphy]

Beat 3rd 4th and 5th seed to win (1st seed bein XXf who wasnt there). Not too shabby for comin in unseeded.

[extremenanopowe]

Now Tine shd be one of the favourite for OG. She has beaten all the top players. A dark horse in the making.

[abedeng]

CHN gets failing mark for this tourney, only won 2 of 5.

How would LYB respond, I wonder? Maybe more strength and stamina training for the women.

[carine]

LCW on the court now

[sentosa]

this is it the main event of today LHI VS LCW ( LI MAO present student vs ex-student )

[apontoh]

COngrats to Tine!! The Danes seem to peak much later than asian players..

[extremenanopowe]

A lot of Lee ah. Lee Vs Li & Li

[ctjcad]

ZL misjudged!!!

Tine Rasmussen jumping up and down!!!

18-21 / 21-19 / 21-18.

very well played by Tine.

And Tine celebrates ala LCW, hugging her coaches.

YOHOO!! THE CROWD IS BACK TO LIFE!!!!!
..i wonder if Tine's injury disappeared with her jumping up and down on that recently taped ankle...:confused: :p

First European female player to win Malaysia Open? Bravo Tine for such high level fighting spirit and wonderful attacking skill!
...Tine's good stamina definitely showed in the 3rd set...Her footwork wasn't too shabby either, as she was able to cover most of the shots that went to her backhand side...Her height is an advantage, too..:cool:

*ZL looks tired on the podium..Anyway, X Ball's fave player is up next...Hope the MS match goes rubber set, as well!!:cool:

[abedeng]

Next match, LCW is introduced to deafening atmosphere, in yellow/white kit.

LHI is in his usual all blue.

[extremenanopowe]

Looks like Wong Peng Soon's record is in the making.

[zspeed]

looks like MO is Denmark's favorite hunting ground congrats Tine

[Silencer]

CHN gets failing mark for this tourney, only won 2 of 5.

How would LYB respond, I wonder? Maybe more strength and stamina training for the women.

LYB even threaten and said that his players will sweep all the gold's in mas.So ridiculous.

[Birdwood]

CHN gets failing mark for this tourney, only won 2 of 5.

How would LYB respond, I wonder? Maybe more strength and stamina training for the women.

Why failing grade? I think 2 out of 5 is not bad and ppl expect too much :rolleyes:

[ricksakti]

Amazing...amazing...despite of all odds...

[Jessica]

LCW on court now...So nervous..

[abedeng]

Ants is taking another glass of 100plus, must be hard work, carrying the camera.

[sentosa]

LYB dare to said that without LD / GL&ZB /ZY&WY? that is so weird.

[abedeng]

Misbun has just taken his place at the coaching chairs. Li Mao is walking to his side of the coaching chair.

The young kids near me are unfurling flags and banners.

[ctjcad]

COngrats to Tine!! The Danes seem to peak much later than asian players..

looks like MO is Denmark's favorite hunting ground congrats Tine
..could be the day for the Rasmussens.....If our Jonas wins his MD match later..;)

[Jessica]

LYB dare to said that without LD / GL&ZB /ZY&WY? that is so weird.
I think is not LYB who made this statement but it is made by the china MS coach...

[apontoh]

Good luck to Lee Chongwei. it's been a breeze for him so far...beating hashim, wacha, santoso and chen yu....

[Birdwood]

LYB dare to said that without LD / GL&ZB /ZY&WY? that is so weird.

:eek::confused:

[wesoon77]

Guys help !!! CCTV suddenly not showing and I cant find a reliable webbie to watch rtm 1 ! suggestions !?

[abedeng]

LHI to serve, love all, play.

[Tjun Tjun]

Why failing grade? I think 2 out of 5 is not bad and ppl expect too much :rolleyes:

Because the chinese coach (not LYB) said they would sweep all 5 titles before the start of Malaysian Open....and considering that they have no representations in MS and MD it is disaster for them......

[abedeng]

Delicate net shot by LCW.

[zspeed]

the comentators still remenbers LCW's magic :D

[abedeng]

Net area is all LCW's for the taking.

[sentosa]

as far as i know LHI likes to give up the 1st set, then strike back at 2nd set against good players.

[sepang]

Does anyone has problem watching RTM online?
I could not connect to the server.

[morphy]

wow lcw's net play is dominating

[Birdwood]

Because the chinese coach (not LYB) said they would sweep all 5 titles before the start of Malaysian Open....and considering that they have no representations in MS and MD it is disaster for them......

I won't believe the guy said that unless his crazy :eek:

Chn did not have LD and XXF in MO 08. Why they expect 5 titles?

[morphy]

sepang: its working for me
http://www.viewmy.tv/view-online-tv.aspx?srcid=2141#viewmytv

[madbad]

Does anyone has problem watching RTM online?
I could not connect to the server.

I'm out of luck too. Comes on intermittently. Will need to rely on BC commentary for now :D

[carine]

LCW leading 6-4

[abedeng]

MAS cheerleading choreography leader is clad in his Malaysian flag attire.

First net engagement lost by LCW, good reply from LHI.

[Rubinjo]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[damouse]

Some pretty solid badminton so far...but I gotta say the WS match was awesome.

[extremenanopowe]

LHI very intelligent player... deceptive.

[samuel882]

LYB even threaten and said that his players will sweep all the gold's in mas.So ridiculous.
I only remembered LYB said CHN will be sweeping all the 5 GOLD in Beijing
