Meanwhile ZM won in straight sets.

[madbad]

ROFL, i'm goin 2 sleep soon..just wanna see the other canadian match coming up

I think you better hit the sack. The next Canadian match won't be on for probably another 1/2 hour (min)

[madbad]

Smith 6-4 Hong
Poles 20-18 TPE

[aZn_Popcorn]

I think you better hit the sack. The next Canadian match won't be on for probably another 1/2 hour (min)

Off to Tim Hortons it is lol

[robin7]

Hong JH regains the lead 7-6 in the decider...

[madbad]

Now on court 3, it's mens doubles v women's doubles.... err... sorry, it's the tomboys Du and Yu masquerading as men :D;)

[madbad]

KJ now on court against Jang. Can he continue his form from the MO?

[robin7]

Hong Ji Hoon leads 11-10...

[Loh]

Baaah...another lousy day for me PAW-wise! :mad:
I wish I could hit the sack too, or punch the bag or ...:crying:

[Krisna]

DURKIN/SOROKINA vs KINDERVATOR/PIOTROWSKI

:eek: The names are sooooooo loooonnnggggg.... :eek: :D ...and hard to pronounce...

[robin7]

KJ now on court against Jang. Can he continue his form from the MO?
Yeah right, the 36-point PAW is on court now...

[CLELY]

Not bad performance by 2006 World Jr Champion, Hong Ji Hoon to trouble Mr.Smith in rubber...

[madbad]

Baaah...another lousy day for me PAW-wise! :mad:
I wish I could hit the sack too, or punch the bag or ...:crying:

Hey Loh, don't fret. Happens to everyone. You'll probably need to start picking riskier PAWs tomorrow to catch up. Good luck

[robin7]

HJH 14-12.... Go Korea...........

[madbad]

:eek: The names are sooooooo loooonnnggggg.... :eek: :D ...and hard to pronounce...

I think the Thai names are longer

[k-a-n-t]

LJJ&HJM beat now?

[k-a-n-t]

I think the Thai names are longer


I really agree:):):) Me too.

[madbad]

LJJ&HJM beat now?

They're leading Blair/Lindley (ENG) 6-3
Hong 17-16 Smith. To the death it appears

[madbad]

Smith now noses ahead 18-17, but the youngster evens at 18-18

[robin7]

Oh no, match pt for Andrew Smith...

HJH lost narrowly...

[madbad]

CHN tomboys beat up Thais 21-10. Should make them play in MD qualifying from next SS onwards :D:D

[madbad]

The more experienced Smith wins 21-18 in the rubber. Everyone's PAW hopes are dashed.

[madbad]

KJ struggling against Jang, down 8-11. Who PAWed Jang and his 34 points?? If Jang wins, you're sure to be first in the standings.

[aZn_Popcorn]

:eek: The names are sooooooo loooonnnggggg.... :eek: :D ...and hard to pronounce...

Kunchala Voravichitchaikul
Duang-Anong Aroonkesorn ... lol

[madbad]

KJ has woken up and is now at 14-14 with Jang

[k-a-n-t]

LJJ&HJM lose in first.T^T

[madbad]

CHN tomboys steamrolling hapless Thais 16-6. OUCH! :D

[madbad]

LJJ&HJM lose in first.T^T

Yes, that's a big surprise. :eek:

[madbad]

No surprise, KJ wins 21-16. Du/Yu pulverize Thais 21-10, 21-8 in 20 mins

[robin7]

KJ struggling against Jang, down 8-11. Who PAWed Jang and his 34 points?? If Jang wins, you're sure to be first in the standings.
It is 36 to be precise! Jang was leading 13-8 at one stage but lost the 1st game 16-21.

[Louisa]

36 pts upset is abit difficult now....Kenneth is too good for Jang

[madbad]

It is 36 to be precise! Jang was leading 13-8 at one stage but lost the 1st game 16-21.

Let me guess, you PAWed Jang :D. He's getting clobbered 13-3 in the 2nd.

[jasonmarc]

36 pts upset is abit difficult now....Kenneth is too good for Jang

Yes,...KJ is an old horse...he dont lose to unkown player easily....i think he will do well in KO 08...as his form is good after beaten BCL last week in Malaysia..;)

[robin7]

Typical MAS WD, losing the following 2 games after taking the 1st. Sigh...

[robin7]

Yes,...KJ is an old horse...he dont lose to unkown player easily....i think he will do well in KO 08...as his form is good after beaten BCL last week in Malaysia..;)
Yup, he has been consistent so far. He is expected to meet Chen Jin in QF.

[k-a-n-t]

Hoorey!!! LJJ&HJM won BR/LD 17-21,21-16,21-11

[spchu]

Robin, dont count them out yet... WD still have a chance....although trailing 4-7 now...

[spchu]

[spchu]

[robin7]

Robin, dont count them out yet... WD still have a chance....although trailing 4-7 now...
They will face Gao/Zhao if they win this match... But sorry...

[spchu]

BTW, who took over from Cheah Soon Kit after he left for KLRC?

leading for the 1st time in the rubber set 15-13 now....

[robin7]

Yippie, gayao (add oil)...

[spchu]

17-13 now, keep your momentum ladies....

[eaglehelang]

Lim Pek Siah/Haw are from KLRC, so Cheah SK should be overseeing this match

[robin7]

BTW, who took over from Cheah Soon Kit after he left for KLRC?

leading for the 1st time in the rubber set 15-13 now....
Rexy is in charge of all the doubles (MD, WD & XD)...

MAS WD 20-14 now...

[spchu]

20-14, Robin, see....;)

[robin7]

20-14, Robin, see....;)
Ok, they proved me wrong. They will meet Gao/Zhao next round...:D

[robin7]

Tracey was trailing 8-17 at one stage but managed to close the gap 19-20 before losing 19-21. Phew... Yippie took the 1st game.

[jasonmarc]

Phew,..this JE/MLH is really going down now....after the Danes LP/JR rising...one up and the other down.....losing to JPN MD

[george@chongwei]

[george@chongwei]

where is samuel, jessica???
sudket is on court now!!

[badMania]

Plenty of upsets already by now....another piece of work well-done by the World Championships bronze medallist (not for the first time I think) as they send Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgard Hansen bundling out of the Korea Open 2008.

[george@chongwei]

Coming up will be Mr. Yo-Yo.....will play Simon S.....what do you think..?...any chance ?:rolleyes:

[Jessica]

[badMania]

[george@chongwei]

[aZn_Popcorn]

ENG 7-7 CAN in rubber set

[jimbo]

uncle Roslin is fighting his life now.... think he can beat Sato in rubber :eek:

[badMania]

16 smash winners from Luluk/Alvent as they make it 11-7 at the interval of the second set. They should progress.

Meanwhile, Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita are also leading the experienced Polish pair 16-12.

[jasonmarc]

RH is still fighting...down with 4 points.....hope he able to will 1st game..

[huangkwokhau]

Lita/Devin won 1st set and Luluk/Alvent sealed the match and progressed to 2nd round..

[aZn_Popcorn]

17-16 CAN !! woo

[badMania]

Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto take the match 21-14, 21-17. They are likely to face Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif in R16 tomorrow.

[badMania]

In the other match, Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita also do well as they take the first set against the Russian Open winner Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk 21-17.

[jasonmarc]

Luluk/LVENT played well to win in straight game......for sudket,..his priority is in XD....i think

[jasonmarc]

RH is leading for the first time....with 2 points...

[jasonmarc]

and now the yo-yo is on court......

[eaglehelang]

The other Hashim bro is on court

[badMania]

The Polish pair is taking control of the second set as they are leading 11-7 at the interval of the second set.

It's a busy time for the INA squad as Simon Santoso and Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii are also on court now. Can Grace redeem herself in XD, after her exit in WD?

[cheeyf]

both Hashim brothers are playing now
hehe
hope they will win though tough opponents
so far only WCH made it 2 the next round

[eaglehelang]

Same with Msia Badmania, Wee Kiong/Woon will be up next

[jasonmarc]

sigh..both are trailing....and Roslin seems like going to lose....and Hafiz..

[Jessica]

Sigh..I will never PAW on them next time again...I am really stupid to PAW on Roslin to win..

[jasonmarc]

Sigh..I will never PAW on them next time again...I am really stupid to PAW on Roslin to win..

To PAW on Roslin to win is still better than to pAW on Hafiz...:D

[eaglehelang]

Sigh..I will never PAW on them next time again...I am really stupid to PAW on Roslin to win..
Not stupid, stimes Roslin does win, he's not in his element today.
That's better than the younger Hashim bro

[Jessica]

Come on..Roslin..chase now before to late.

[vching]

look at us.... PAW addicts :D

[badMania]

No power from Devin/Lita combo as the Polish pair takes the second set 21-15, with 16 smashes vs 5 smashes from the INA pair.

I have said that this pair can only be a good backup pair, and will no longer be a top 5 pair!

[eaglehelang]

look at us.... PAW addicts :D

Not me, I dont play pawing games, me fly.:D

[Jessica]

Not me, I dont play pawing games, me fly.:D
eagle..You should try the PAW game..It is really fun..:D:p:)

[badMania]

In the other matches, Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii are trailing 8-13, while Simon Santoso is leading 15-9.

On return from the break, the Polish pair is already ahead 6-1, with 19 smashes. Bye bye Devin/Lita.

[badMania]

Simon looks confident against Mohd Hafiz Hashim today....good for him.

[eaglehelang]

No power from Devin/Lita combo as the Polish pair takes the second set 21-15, with 16 smashes vs 5 smashes from the INA pair.

I have said that this pair can only be a good backup pair, and will no longer be a top 5 pair!

Devin/Lita is senior XD in Indonesia??

[Jessica]

Simon looks confident against Mohd Hafiz Hashim today....good for him.
Every player will look confident when against Hafiz Hashim..:(:crying:

[eaglehelang]

eagle..You should try the PAW game..It is really fun..:D:p:)

Headache to type all that, me have other "duties" like translating all those flowery malay words they use in newspaper for ya all, he he he

[badMania]

It's becoming more unbearable to watch as the Polish pair totally thrashes Devin/Lita, leading comfortably 11-2. 20 smashes vs only a paltry 6 from the INA pair. Yawn....

Rijal/Grace are coming back, now leading 14-13, despite trailing big time.

[cheeyf]

roslin lost haih
hafiz also losing g1 badly
always mr yo yo
meanwhile polii is cathing up
go polii

[badMania]

Devin/Lita is senior XD in Indonesia??

Quite senior, both players are about 24-25 yo.
Rijal/Grace and Tantowi/Yulianti are much better than them.

[badMania]

Rijal/Grace have now won 11 straight points as they look set to take the first set.

[eaglehelang]

Quite senior, both players are about 24-25 yo.
Rijal/Grace and Tantowi/Yulianti are much better than them.

Not wonder you frust with them, like we stimes frust with our players. Hafiz is beyond frust though.

[jasonmarc]

Sigh....the elder brother lost......and the younger brother still playing......................yo-yo......

[badMania]

Simon Santoso takes the first set easily 21-12. He's off to a 5-1 lead in the second set too.

Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii also take the first set 21-16. A good effort from them, despite trailing 7-13 just now.

[eaglehelang]

Elder bro got more fighting spirit although 7 years older. 2nd set already 2-5 trailing

[badMania]

Not wonder you frust with them, like we stimes frust with our players. Hafiz is beyond frust though.

Yup...too many pairs that are used to losing early, like AG/Joko, Rani/Endang, etc.

Meanwhile, Devin/Lita mount a late comeback as they now trail 12-14. Not bad.

[eaglehelang]

Meanwhile, Chen Jin and the other Korean player close pts, interesting

[jasonmarc]

Lee Choel Ho is leading CJ.....all KOR players seems have extra power when playing at home ground.....now levels with 7 all

[cheeyf]

Meanwhile, Chen Jin and the other Korean player close pts, interesting

ya i thought it will be easy game for chen jin
by the way, anyone went to watch m'sia open when chen jin lost to kendrik?
tat was a surprised.

[eaglehelang]

For Msians playing on home ground, it's home ground dis- advantage.
For Korea, it's home ground advantage.

[badMania]

Simon still has that 5 pts lead he established early in the second set, 12-6.

Meanwhile, Devin/Lita are fighting courageously....levelling the scores at 16-16, despite trailing 2-11. Can they take this one?

[Jessica]

No eye see..Bye bye Hafiz...I go and have my dinner now..Eagle,please cheer for our playes...

[eaglehelang]

Wah badmania, the XD you frust at now level 18-18

Hafiz, <sigh> trailing far away

[huangkwokhau]

WOW!! what a come back from Lita/Devin, from 2-11 then 12-16,16 all then 20 all and WON!! amazing

[apontoh]

wahh, Devin/Lita has such fighting spirit, winning the 3rd game 22-20 after trailing 2-11 at one stage.

[eaglehelang]

Indonesia XD won after deuce, close one, tough fight in 1st rd. Happy a bit Badmania?

[rizayosia]

Hei, INA performs well today. Another mix doubles just went through as well as Simon.

[huangkwokhau]

Quite senior, both players are about 24-25 yo.
Rijal/Grace and Tantowi/Yulianti are much better than them.
They proved you wrong!!!:D:D

[badMania]

What a match! Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita have won the XD match as they take the rubber set 22-20, despite being pegged back almost the entire match! Kudos to them! They will now face their senior Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa tomorrow. So, 1 INA pair is guaranteed a QF place.

Meanwhile, Simon Santoso seals a place in R16 also as he takes the match in straight sets 21-12, 21-10. He is scheduled to face the home favorite Park Sung Hwan tomorrow.

In the the other match, Rijal/Greysia were once leading 10-6, only to see that lead evaporate and they are now trail the Japanese pair 13-17. Come on!!! Another rubber-set looks possible.

[eaglehelang]

Our junior XD on court. The Danes are seeded players but hope Wee Kiong/Woon put up a good fight, they need the OG pts

[cheeyf]

good fighting spirit fr indo XD to wini the match
unfortunately hafiz doesnt hav tat fighting spirit
now cheering for woon/tan
go mas

[badMania]

They proved you wrong!!!:D:D

Well, thankfully....but...I still think the other two younger pairs should have a better future than them. Will be good if they prove me wrong again though.

[eaglehelang]

Chen Jin pulled away & won 1st set against the Korean

[badMania]

Wah badmania, the XD you frust at now level 18-18

Hafiz, <sigh> trailing far away

Well...the other pair looks to be doing not so well....being forced to a rubber-set as the Japanese pair takes the second set 21-14. Hmm...from 10-6 to 10-11, then 14-21. Haiz....

[badMania]

Now, Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi are also on court....hoping to beat Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo. The Chinese has beaten them twice in a row now, in China and HK Open SS 2007.

[eaglehelang]

Well...the other pair looks to be doing not so well....being forced to a rubber-set as the Japanese pair takes the second set 21-14. Hmm...from 10-6 to 10-11, then 14-21. Haiz....

this Rijal/Polli should be 21/22??

[badMania]

If Rijal/Grace can beat the Japanese pair, they will face Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Britta Andersen. If they can progress further, then INA will be guaranteed a place in the last 4. Not bad.

With the upper half of the draw also short of a top pair (both Zheng Bo/Gao Ling and Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms all withdrawing), hopefully Flandy/Vita can progress to the Final. The likely opponent in the SF will be Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg or Jens Eriksen/Helle Nielsen.

The bottom half looks more appetizing. Nova/Butet already will face a tough assignment later tonight, then followed by Vitalij Durkin/Valeri Sorokina. If they can progress to QF, Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl are awaiting them. SF opponent is likely between Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen or Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam.

So, the chance is pretty much open for INA to win the XD title here.

[cheeyf]

i think polii is 20 or 21
i dono bout rijal
good start by mas XD leading 11-7

[badMania]

this Rijal/Polli should be 21/22??

Not that old. Greysia was born 11 Aug 1987, so, she's only 20.

[eaglehelang]

This time TWK/Woon not bad, wonder who's advising them

[cheeyf]

Not that old. Greysia was born 11 Aug 1987, so, she's only 20.

wow badmania
u remember her birthday
tat's cool
meanwhile mas XD leading comfortably
yeah :)

[badMania]

Meanwhile, as expected, AG/Joko are struggling against Guo/Xie, trailing 7-11 at the interval.

[eaglehelang]

Not that old. Greysia was born 11 Aug 1987, so, she's only 20.
Pretty good, indonesia XD & WD got good players

[badMania]

Same story as the second set...from leading 9-5...now 9-9.....

[eaglehelang]

wow badmania
u remember her birthday
tat's cool
meanwhile mas XD leading comfortably
yeah :)

Maybe it's Badmania's 2nd or 3rd cousin leh;)

[robin7]

As expected, Hashim brothers lost and so did Ayob. But WMC's loss is a bit unexpected.

[badMania]

Pretty good, indonesia XD & WD got good players

Grace needs a better WD partner....probably Lilyana Natsir?? Despite having won so many titles (including 2 World Championships crown, Lilyana Natsir is only 22 yo, born 9 Sep 1985.

[eaglehelang]

Poor thing this Joko/Hendra, a bit like our Gan/Lin, always out in early round, but looking at MO match with KKK/TBH they play better than Gan/Lin

[badMania]

Maybe it's Badmania's 2nd or 3rd cousin leh;)

U can check the DOB in google. Meanwhile, Rijal/Grace just nudge ahead 11-10 at the interval. Come on!!!!

[robin7]

C'mon, TWK/WKW, finish the 1st game...

[badMania]

Poor thing this Joko/Hendra, a bit like our Gan/Lin, always out in early round, but looking at MO match with KKK/TBH they play better than Gan/Lin

Hendra AG is pretty "old" by this year, so, Joko probably needs a better partner?? Their result is pretty stagnant, having only won the Jakarta Satellite in 2006 and a couple of runner-ups in the same year too.

[robin7]

Yes MAS XD took the 1st game 21-19... Phew...

But I think the Danes can come in the 2nd game...

[eaglehelang]

TWK/Woon won, that was close, the Danes caught up with them till 19-19

[cheeyf]

Grace needs a better WD partner....probably Lilyana Natsir?? Despite having won so many titles (including 2 World Championships crown, Lilyana Natsir is only 22 yo, born 9 Sep 1985.

wow badmania know a lot bout indo players
both lilyana and polii are young n good players
but now lilyana is doing well with vita
i remember before jo novita's injury during Asian games, polii n jo are doing quite well in the top 10 ranking

[badMania]

Rijal/Grace suddenly find themselves ahead by 3 points....leading 15-12 now. A good time to be in the lead.

[eaglehelang]

Hendra AG is pretty "old" by this year, so, Joko probably needs a better partner?? Their result is pretty stagnant, having only won the Jakarta Satellite in 2006 and a couple of runner-ups in the same year too.

That's all the result ??, if Msia player sure become like Gan/Lin, goin off to private club/independent sponsor, he he.

[robin7]

Chen Jin finished off Lee Cheol Ho in straight sets.

Meanwhile, TWK/WKW are leading 7-2 in the 2nd game...

[cheeyf]

As expected, Hashim brothers lost and so did Ayob. But WMC's loss is a bit unexpected.

i also surprised wmc lost 2day.maybe she's still tired after MO or maybe injury bothering her.hope she do well in next tourney.
woon/tan looks good.i think they can win this match

[eaglehelang]

robin7, must have faith in our players while game still on. TWK/Woon now leading 7-2

That's all the result ??, if Msia player sure become like Gan/Lin, goin off to private club/independent sponsor, he he.

Exactly! They are only being exposed to top level competition (SS level tourneys) last year....so...that was one factor too. Previously, they mostly competed in Satellite levels and those 1-3* tourneys, with only a couple of 4-5* tourneys.

[badMania]

Rijal/Grace need 2 more points as they lead 19-17. Come on!!!

[eaglehelang]

Rijal/Polli won, congrats to Indonesia's young XD

[apontoh]

Hendra/Joko fought back, but in the end Guo/Xie won 22-20 in the 1st set.

[badMania]

Phew....Mohd Rijal/Greysia Poli have won the match 21-16, 14-21, 21-18. They will meet the "giant-killer" Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Britta Andersen in R16 tomorrow.

Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo just take the lead against Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi 22-20 in the first set. AG/Joko were trailing 15-20 before they levelled it at 20-20. Too bad, they lost the deuce.

The XD junior pair looks set to create another upset too if they can hang on to the lead right now....13-10 in the second set.

[eaglehelang]

Zakry/Fairuz, and Julia Wong on court.

Hope Julia give good fight to Boonsak's sister

[huangkwokhau]

Phew!! Rizal/Gres are thru...still rusty the way they play....but good start

[robin7]

robin7, must have faith in our players while game still on. TWK/Woon now leading 7-2
Nolah, I just keep my expectation low... They are leading 13-9.

[cheeyf]

[badMania]

The Danes have levelled it at 13-13!!! I also want an upset here....hehehe....

[Louisa]

I dont expect much from our XD...the Danes r seeded + more experience players...take a set from them consider bonus liao...........

[eaglehelang]

The MD junior pair looks set to create another upset too if they can hang on to the lead right now....13-10 in the second set.

XD lah. They've losing early rounds lately, they need the OG pts, if they advance they meet a German pair, then Nova/Liliyana. Good if TWK/Woon can reach their 1st QF in SS.

Joko/Hendra pulak leading now

[robin7]

INA players are doing quite so far.

[Louisa]

but now 17:14.....not safe yet...........

[Dreamzz]

i'm impressed by MAS XD, the danes are a formidable pair.

[eaglehelang]

Louisa, our XD leading 17-14. Keep it up TWK/Woon!

[robin7]

TWK/WKW are leading 17-13...Aiya 17-15 now...

18-15...

[Louisa]

they need to stay calm n focus when leading..........

[badMania]

Nervy moments for the young guns as they are leading 19-16. Can they do it? I think they can :rolleyes:

Meanwhile, AG/Joko are fighting hard as they are leading now 11-5 in the second set.

[cheeyf]

2 more points for woon/tan
come on mas

[robin7]

TWK/WKW 19-16, 2 more....

[abedeng]

As expected, Hashim brothers lost and so did Ayob. But WMC's loss is a bit unexpected.

Are u sure, this same Korean girl beat WMC at the Asian Games.

But last week, she lost to Anita Raj Kaur in the qualifiers.

[Louisa]

alamak, 19-18 now..........robin, eaglehelang, badmania....lets jia you for them....................

[robin7]

Level at 19-19........

[eaglehelang]

They must gotten some fighting spirit after seeing Razif/Chong win against US XD.

[Louisa]

oh no..........19:19.........haiya

[badMania]

Level now at 19-19 as the Danes clawed back 2 points. And they seal the second set 21-19. Oh no!!!

Meanwhile, AG/Joko are cruising in the second set, leading 14-5. The beginning stage of the third set will be crucial now (if they can win the second set).

[Louisa]

19:21..........no eye see liao

[robin7]

It was so close.... Sigh.....

[cheeyf]

aiya rubber game for mas xd

[Dreamzz]

damn, they lost the 2nd set.

[d65up2]

Hahahahahaha I bet all the MAS fans thought they win it....well only joking thats wat my Danish fren said to me lol....


Well good luck in the 3rd set ya

[badboypedi]

oh my god :-O what is wrong with the russian md?!? they lost 21-5 in only 7 minutes!!!!!

[spchu]

Come on malaysian XD, beat the Danes in rubber....

[d65up2]

Hendra-Joko doing ok so far...hope they can win the 2nd set

[badMania]

Its good for their tournament experience. Just showing that the Danes are not an easy opponent after all. They managed to win the set despite trailing 3-4 pts at one stage.

[eaglehelang]

Hiyaa, must have got nervous. Lost 2nd set, so close.

Badmania is busy cheering Indonesia players lah Louisa.

Zakry/Fairuz trashed the Russians 21-5 in 1st set. Julia Wong leading 10-5

[spchu]

bad start
3-0 already....

[d65up2]

Nah MAS is gonna lose for sure to the Danes in the rubber game....bet u anything for it

[robin7]

They MAS juniors panicked while leading 19-16 and couldn't finish the match off and now they have to start all over again.

[Louisa]

this is typical MAS disease.......win 1st set, then lose 2nd n 3rd set...........TWK/WKW, PROVE ME WRONG TONITE!!!:mad:

[d65up2]

Come on Thailand!!!

[badMania]

They MAS juniors panicked while leading 19-16 and couldn't finish the match off and now they have to start all over again.

Don't be too hard on them...its typical of any junior pair to be dealt with such a situation.

[d65up2]

Hahahahaha...Come on HenJok I am quite loving this...well maybe not but so far they are doing well...hope they can clinch the 3rd

[Yojimbo]

Hi everyone.....It seems that I haven't been on this forum for a long time.Busy with school:D:D So...how's TWK/WKW?....I cannot open livescore:confused:

[eaglehelang]

oh my god :-O what is wrong with the russian md?!? they lost 21-5 in only 7 minutes!!!!!
This is same Msia pair that beat Fu/Cai in China Open, of course must have some skill.

[huangkwokhau]

Joko/Hendra took 2nd set.....21-10

[badMania]

The MAS pair looks to have lost their motivation now...trailing 0-9 in the rubber-set. It was so near....yet...so far......

Meanwhile, Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi just win the second set 21-10 to force a rubber-set. The start of the third-set will be crucial and I hope they can repeat the stuffs in the second set to beat the Chinese pair.

[Louisa]

Hahahahahaha I bet all the MAS fans thought they win it....well only joking thats wat my Danish fren said to me lol....


Well good luck in the 3rd set ya
nothing wrong with joking...:D

Nah MAS is gonna lose for sure to the Danes in the rubber game....bet u anything for it
need not bet...for sure we will be FUYOH by Danes.........just keep your eyes on the screen..........:crying::crying::crying:

[d65up2]

[badMania]

This is same Msia pair that beat Fu/Cai in China Open, of course must have some skill.

The Russian pair is a tough nut to crack...they must have just woken up :D
The second set is a closer affair now...as they have gained more points than the first one.

[Louisa]

Hi everyone.....It seems that I haven't been on this forum for a long time.Busy with school:D:D So...how's TWK/WKW?....I cannot open livescore:confused:

Don't be too hard on them...its typical of any junior pair to be dealt with such a situation.
