The Badminton Blog - Choong Hann Continues to Wow the Badminton Community (http://thebadmintonblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/choong-hann-continues-to-wow-badminton.html)

[eaglehelang]

[vching]

I dont like anthony and nathan too.... too arrogant and rude...

[vching]

[vching]

[jasonmarc]

Cos Anthony CLark thinks he is better than Tony and Candra.....Hate that guy.....I think he should just retire hehehehe Nathan is another creature.....

Its OK for me,...no problems for some one to think what they want...for me its normal for a badminton player to believe he can be better than other player......even Tony/Chandra...its a positive mind set...to be better as a player...:rolleyes:...........and i think you are just being tooooo patriotic to INA players...relax man!

[Louisa]

ok fellow gang, too tired after a few tense games this afternoon, going to off now....we shout again tonight....old CAT needs rest...c ya, tonight...

[vching]

Its OK for me,...no problems for some one to think what they want...for me its normal for a badminton player to believe he can be better than other player......even Tony/Chandra...its a positive mind set...to be better as a player...:rolleyes:...........and i think you are just being tooooo patriotic to INA players...relax man!
nono, i dont think you have seen Nathan and Robert act... It is REAAAAAAALLY arrogant... i can stand Koo Kien Keat like that, but I can't stand Nathan and Robert............

[d65up2]

Wow man Japanese are losing to lower rank Danes despite the fact that they beat the best Danes yesterday

[d65up2]

Its not bad indeed...hehehehe they are leading 1-0 in the first set...I think they are gonna be the next Danish power house...Eriksen and Lundgard Hansen are losing their touch here.......Well Mollyhus-Kristensen is not bad either

[eaglehelang]

Peter Gade won in straight sets. Not bad, playing with broken rib

[d65up2]

Come on Jun Jae Youn.....Finish her off girl

[eaglehelang]

Its not bad indeed...hehehehe they are leading 1-0 in the first set...I think they are gonna be the next Danish power house...Eriksen and Lundgard Hansen are losing their touch here.......Well Mollyhus-Kristensen is not bad either

JE/ML will retire after OG 2008, so it's up to Lars/Jonas & Boe/Morgensen.
Lar/Jonas did very well by winning runner-up in MO.

Leading the Sakamoto/Ikeda 11-6. KKK/TBH should really learn how to beat the Japaense

[kwun]

JE/ML will retire after OG 2008, so it's up to Lars/Jonas & Boe/Morgensen.
Lar/Jonas did very well by winning runner-up in MO.


JR/LP will have a mighty tough match today against Markis/Hendra. the draw is cruel. let's hope they can avenge their lost in the finals last week.

[d65up2]

How old is Lars and Jonas???? Are they like Tony's age say 31???

[d65up2]

JR/LP will have a mighty tough match today against Markis/Hendra. the draw is cruel. let's hope they can avenge their lost in the finals last week.


I beg to differ sir...supporting Kindra today so they can be seeded first in AE

[kwun]

Andrew Smith draws rubber game against KJ...

Cann can can against Jun, leveled 17-17.

[eaglehelang]

JR/LP will have a mighty tough match today against Markis/Hendra. the draw is cruel. let's hope they can avenge their lost in the finals last week.

Yup, the draw cruel to some Msia players too. WCH had to play Bao bao last week & this week. CCM/CCE had to play two Korean pairs in a row. LCW have to meet LHI again, so early

[d65up2]

Come on Jun FInish Cann off...and go KJ...finish off Andrew Smith!

[eaglehelang]

How old is Lars and Jonas???? Are they like Tony's age say 31???

Lars born 1976, Jonas born 1977

[X Ball]

LCW is the ONE !

[V3i HoN6]

LCW is the ONE !
LOL.
What a way to notice everyone you are here.

[eaglehelang]

LCW is the ONE !

long time more to wait Xball, not time yet for LCW in action

[eaglehelang]

While you all are busy debating, Boe/Morgensen already won straights sets, sending the Japanese home. PJB must be sad

[d65up2]

Lars born 1976, Jonas born 1977


Well they are not that old then...hehehehe younger than Eriksen and Lungard

[eaglehelang]

Well they are not that old then...hehehehe younger than Eriksen and Lungard

Of course lah, JE/ML are the oldest pro baddy players around. The commentators & press dont call them the 'old men of badminton' for nothing.

Boe/Morgensen not that young too, 28/29 yo. I thought they are 25 or 26, they look young.

[d65up2]

We now say goodbye to Mr Smith

[d65up2]

Of course lah, JE/ML are the oldest pro baddy players around. The commentators & press dont call them the 'old men of badminton' for nothing.

Boe/Morgensen not that young too, 28/29 yo. I thought they are 25 or 26, they look young.

I thought u were joking...really?? They are ven older than Kindra??? I thought they were roughly the same age as Kindra...lol......They are certainly older than Cai-Fu as well

[jasonmarc]

Peter Gade won in straight sets. Not bad, playing with broken rib

Broken rib..? what happened to him ?:confused:

[d65up2]

Go Taiwan! You can do it....You can win!

[Jessica]

Remember to cheer for tsonga...on my behalf....K Jess!:D
I am cheering for Nadal..Too bad he lost the first..:crying:Never mind,he will be back..

[eaglehelang]

I thought u were joking...really?? They are ven older than Kindra??? I thought they were roughly the same age as Kindra...lol......They are certainly older than Cai-Fu as well

FU=23, Cai Yun = 27
Official records put Kido = 28, Hendra = 23 but many say Kido looks more like 25.

Boe = 27 http://www.badminton.dk/Elite%20uk/Profiler%20uk/Nuvaerende%20stjerner/Mathias%20Boe.aspx look up the names yourself

[badMania]

FU=23, Cai Yun = 27

Boe = 27 http://www.badminton.dk/Elite%20uk/Profiler%20uk/Nuvaerende%20stjerner/Mathias%20Boe.aspx look up the names yourself

Kido = Hendra = 23 yo, going on 24 this year. Both were born in August 1984.

[jasonmarc]

I am cheering for Nadal..Too bad he lost the first..:crying:Never mind,he will be back..

really,..Tsonga that good ah.......This Tsonga came suddently from no where.....and now beat Nadal 1st set..Semi Final..:p

[eaglehelang]

Kido = Hendra = 23 yo, going on 24 this year. Both were born in August 1984.
ok, Copenhagen Masters ppl put the info wrong then , he he

Courageous Shortie/Fuzzy fighting it out with Luluk/Alvent!

[d65up2]

Kido = Hendra = 23 yo, going on 24 this year. Both were born in August 1984.


That cheer me up for a bit

[jasonmarc]

While we are talking some off topic matters.....the MAS super dwarf has started his game quietly...and now they are 9 - 9 level with INA MD

[eaglehelang]

Broken rib..? what happened to him ?:confused:

Read Morten's post somewhere in this thread.

[badMania]

A tight match as expected and the lead kept changing hands. Zakry/Fairuz lead 11-10 at the interval.

[eaglehelang]

Hopefully today, Fairuz wouldnt be nervous be super courageous to match Courageous Shortie

[jasonmarc]

Read Morten's post somewhere in this thread.

TQ,...i'll try to find that post...:rolleyes:?

[eaglehelang]

I can find it, later, later, now must cheer for Fuzzy so the cobwebs wouldnt clog up his brain.

[V3i HoN6]

Dude you are really overeacting to some of the threads.....while its not rude I am going to say it anyway so ppl know I am not fond of Anthony Clark...wats wrong with you?? This is badminton central not Germany unde Hitler or Italy under Mussolini
Ah... So are you saying that you can voice your dislike over someone in a discriminating tone along with baseless claim.
While I can't give my opinion about you openly saying someone is bad.
They maybe rude, but I have to disagree they way you said they "look down on Chandra/Tony, and thinks Ina players are nothing". This part is all your made up to mislead people.

If it is, then i'm overacting the way you do.
Hitler or not, still doesn't mean you can say anything you like.

[badMania]

A ding-dong battle now as the pair trades points. One for u...one for me.

[d65up2]

COme on Luluk-Alven!! well even if they win the first they are gonna lose the 2nd

[badMania]

Crucial moments now as the score is level at 19-19.

[eaglehelang]

Come on, 2 mohds, just think of Rexy strangling them if they lose, that will spur them, he he

[d65up2]

Ah... So are you saying that you can voice your dislike over someone in a discriminating tone along with baseless claim.

Hitler or not, still doesn't mean you can say anything you like.

Dude I like you man......hehehehe you are cool

[jasonmarc]

Common Courageous shorty and Fairus dont Fuzzy....force duece...

[d65up2]

Luven 1 more....come on!

[badMania]

Game point for Luluk/Alvent at 20-19....and they take the set 21-19. Phew....what a tight set....with the lead never more than 2 points.

[Jessica]

Aiyo...Indonesia pair won the first game with 21-19.Come on fuzzy..

[d65up2]

Very tight indeed...but glad they take it...but I think they are gonna lose the 2nd set anyway typical Luven disease

[badMania]

If the scoreline remains tight in the second set, Luluk/Alvent will have the edge. "Fuzzy" tends to fumble in crucial points.

[jasonmarc]

Mas lost 1st game......and hope to win the 2nd to play in rubber

[kwun]

that's right. you cannot say anything you like. mean, rude behavior will not be tolerated. we are a multi-cultural and multi-national forum, so please think before you say something in the future, make sure what you said is respectful, backed up by facts and not emotionally driven.

[d65up2]

2-0 now come on Luven make it 3

[eaglehelang]

If the scoreline remains tight in the second set, Luluk/Alvent will have the edge. "Fuzzy" tends to fumble in crucial points.

We hope Courageous Shortie can rub off some of his courage to fuzzy so the cobwebs will go away.

[d65up2]

that's right. you cannot say anything you like. mean, rude behavior will not be tolerated. we are a multi-cultural and multi-national forum, so please think before you say something in the future, make sure what you said is respectful, backed up by facts and not emotionally driven.

Dude what I said was based on fact actually met the guy personally and drew my conclusion....

[d65up2]

Simon and Park Sung Hwan...well just say goodbye to Simon...hehehehe......Fingers cross

[apontoh]

I think Simon will win.

[d65up2]

I hope so..I hope Simon win

[V3i HoN6]

7-4, not looking good for fairuz/zakry.

Simon and PSH coming out.



Dude I like you man......hehehehe you are cool

I hope you get what I mean. Agree or you dont.
Cheers.

[jasonmarc]

Simon Vs PSH.....an explosive match...i hope

[d65up2]

Thanks.
I hope you get what I mean. Agree or you dont.
Cheers.

[d65up2]

Come on Luven 10-9 now...COme on You can do it

[eaglehelang]

pHew! 11-10 at interval

[Jessica]

Come on Fairuz/Zakry..

[badMania]

Once again, a healthy 4 pts lead at 8-4 evaporated as the MAS pair levelled the scoreline and even nudged ahead 11-10 at the interval now.

[d65up2]

Typical disease of Luluk-Alven.....losing again in 2nd set...come on guys get your act together

[vching]

gogo fairuz gogo zakry!!!

[jasonmarc]

Dude I like you man but not Anthony CLark and Nathan...just you..ok???? Not including Anthony and Nathan

Guys...stop this topic......enjoy the badminton match lah......take it easy man..:D:D

[d65up2]

Come on Luven 12-11 now.....Go go

[V3i HoN6]

looks like zhou mi gonna make it to tomorrow.

[d65up2]

15-12...Ayo Kamu bisa...you can do it

[badMania]

A breathing space perhaps as Luluk/Alvent lead 17-13....4 more pts now.

[d65up2]

16-13...Keep pushing dun catch your disease at this time...keep pushing

[jasonmarc]

mas md going to lose......is it fuzzy again...poor rexy...going to be sooooo mad about this....

[d65up2]

Dun Give it away 17-13.....Come on Come on..Ayo Luven You can do it

[d65up2]

[apontoh]

wow, Simon is getting thrashed by PSH....that's unexpected...

[badMania]

mas md going to lose......is it fuzzy again...poor rexy...going to be sooooo mad about this....

The MAS pair just levelled the score! Oh man!

[vching]

c'mon Malaysia!!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

[d65up2]

See there u go the typical disease of Luven...they lose this one they are over

[Erwin Kyoto]

[V3i HoN6]

18 - 18

[badMania]

Crunch time once again as the pairs are locked at 19-19.

[d65up2]

Come on Luven 19-19 what were u thinking.......FInish it off!!!

[jasonmarc]

Dont expect Simon being trashed by PSH in 1st game....

[robin7]

Game pt for MAS MD.

[badMania]

This time, the MAS pair got the game point. Can they convert it ??

[d65up2]

Dats it Luluk....Luluk has always been the disease of this pair....my god!

[badMania]

Terrible.....Fairuz/Zakry won the second set, despite trailing 14-18 late in the second set.

[robin7]

Yes, MAS MD forced a rubber.

[vching]

yes!!! ZAKRY AND FAIRUZ JIA YOU!!!!

[Jessica]

Oh yes..Mas pair win the second set..

[eaglehelang]

Phew 21-19, so close in 2nd set.

Meanwhile, we all forgot abt our Julia WOng. Trailing 3-8 behind Zhang Ning

[badMania]

The home favorite Park Sung Hwan is set to take the first set, with a 10 pts lead now at 15-5.

[jasonmarc]

gooooood,...MAS able to forced rubber......phew...cold sweating for me...they are so lucky.....keep it up...mas md

[robin7]

Park is toying with Simon, leading 15-5...

[ants]

PSH is killing Simon Santoso.

[V3i HoN6]

6-10 behind ZN.
Come on catch up. Julia.

[eaglehelang]

Terrible.....Fairuz/Zakry won the second set, despite trailing 14-18 late in the second set.

Maybe they sensed Rexy scolding them here in Msia.:D. Btw, that's how they beat Fu/Cai too, trailing 14-17, leveled & won. Weird, what's with the 14-18, 14-17 trailing.

[badMania]

What were they thinking at 18-14....and just 3 pts more...only to let slip the second set.

[jasonmarc]

and again MAS md trailing in the rubber game.....1 - 4 ...my gosh

[eaglehelang]

What were they thinking at 18-14....and just 3 pts more...only to let slip the second set.

Calm down Badmania, happened to Fu/Cai too, same pts, with CTF/LWW and Zakry/Fairuz.

Be courageos Zakry/Fairuz!!

[Erwin Kyoto]

LuVent usually hard to beat their opponent if they play in 3 games...

[spchu]

come on Malaysia Fight back....fight fight....5-3 now

[Jessica]

Julia is chasing Zhang Ning now..

[badMania]

Luluk/Alvent got off to a good start, leading 7-3.

[eaglehelang]

LuVent usually hard to beat their opponent if they play in 3 games...

Oh ? why? Stamina?

Julia Wong chasing Zhang Ning. Go girl! dont be afraid of the great ZN

[jasonmarc]

LuVent usually hard to beat their opponent if they play in 3 games...

But they are leading now....:eek:

[V3i HoN6]

Not bad, Julia made it to 12 -13

[jasonmarc]

And Julia is closing with ZN now...12 - 13 ...

[badMania]

Same pattern as the second set. Luluk/Alvent can't protect a good lead.

[spchu]

Not bad for Julia Wong hope she can really create an upset 12-16, but quite hard i think, hope she proves me wrong,

Come on Malaysian MD. Dont give up the fight...9-7

[badMania]

Ok....the INA pair leads 11-7 at the interval. If they were to lose this healthy lead again, they deserve to be left out of the Olympics.

[spchu]

14-16 for Julia.....

trailing 7-11 for Malaysian MD...
Come on show yr fighting spirit

[winzerer]

Unexpected Simon so far:eek:

Luven master of choking.....please prove me wrong:p

[jasonmarc]

PSH is killing Simon Santoso.

Is ants in cold Seoul or in Hot KL?

[badMania]

Simon surrendered meekly 10-21 in the first set.

[vching]

c;mon Malaysia! FIKIRKAN BOLEH! KAU BOLEH!

[jasonmarc]

Can MAS md make another come back in rubber game...like in 2nd. game ?...

[spchu]

Impressed with Julia although trailing 17-18, not really trashing by Chang Ning


MD 13-10, come on Malaysians

[eaglehelang]

Come on Fairuz, dont be nervous, dont be nervous.
Shortie, be courageous, be courageous.

[V3i HoN6]

post the scores guys.
livescore stuck again.

[ants]

Is ants in cold Seoul or in Hot KL?

Its snowing in Seoul.

[jasonmarc]

PSH is playing well or Simon playing badly?...

[abedeng]

Julia is doing well, lots of pressure to ZN. Never mind that she lost, she just needs to believe that she can compete.

After that, better results would follow.

[badMania]

OK...a 7 pts lead with 3 more pts to go. Can Luluk/Alvent win this one?

[vching]

chase chase chase! you can do it!

[Jessica]

Aiyo..No more hope..Fairuz/Zakry behind with 11-18 now..

[jasonmarc]

Its the end of the road for Zakry/Fairus....sad

[spchu]

18-11.....I hope Robin's predictions dont come true.... only Women doubles in quarter now....

[winzerer]

now is comfortable leads for luven

[Tjun Tjun]

Keep posting the scores please. No able to access livescore for the past 3 days....same problem today.

[vching]

can zakry/fairuz pull off the biggest chase ever!

[jasonmarc]

Suddently...Simon is in the lead for the first time....goood

[Jessica]

18-11.....I hope Robin's predictions dont come true.... only Women doubles in quarter now....
Disaster day for Malaysia players..:crying::(

[badMania]

Phew....Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto finally win the match 21-19, 19-21, 21-12 in 38 mins. They are more likely to face the home favorite Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae tomorrow. But, I am hoping that Chan Chong Ming/Chew Choon Eng can surprise us.

[abedeng]

Luluk/Alvent should have this sealed.

Was Simon affected by bad calls? Badzine reported quite a few incidents of bad calls yesterday.

[jasonmarc]

Julia also leading now...4 - 2

[spchu]

Malaysian Men doubles lost 21-12 in the rubber.....so sad....
Julia keep on surprising me 4-2 now

[Erwin Kyoto]

suprise...LuVent took the 3rd game easily...

[winzerer]

congrats luven....nice revenged

simon come back one 2nd

[eaglehelang]

<Sigh> Fuzzy didnt shake off the cobwebs lost already.
DUnno whether their 4 team mates leaving & Rexy's annoucement affected them.

[badMania]

A tight match so far in the MS with Simon Santoso edging in front 11-8. Can he force a rubber?

Meanwhile, Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa take the first set 21-12.

[eaglehelang]

Surprise surprise Julia leading 7-4

[jasonmarc]

Julia 7 - 4 ZN

Simon 11 - 8 PSH

[hhs1000]

If Simon can't take the 2nd set, it proves my suspicious that he is a half past six player. Time to switch career.

[winzerer]

simon 13-8
julia 8-5

[spchu]

ayoyo Zhang ning proved her mettle chase back 8-7 now

Come on Julia

[ants]

Phew....Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto finally win the match 21-19, 19-21, 21-12 in 38 mins. They will face the home favorite Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae tomorrow.

The Korean's have no played yet.

[spchu]

the Malaysian men was a letdown so far, hope the gals pull out something from the magic hat....9-9 for Julia

[V3i HoN6]

What the scores for Julia vs ZN first game.

[badMania]

Simon looks to have gained more confidence as he powers ahead 16-10 in the second set. He should take this one down.

[Jessica]

Zhang Ning leading with 11-9 now..

ZN ups the pace, I think. If they play slow, Julia is competitive.

[leonardklh]

come on julia wong....

[abedeng]

Park is chasing, Simon must push away now.

[Erwin Kyoto]

congrats luven....nice revenged


yeah..INA MD players did nice revenge today, LuVent and KoHend (Joko/Hendra beat Guo/Xie)...hope Endang/Rani can do the same for the Japanese cute players:p:o:D

[d65up2]

2 more finish it off Mon-mon...hehehehe we should call simon monmon...hehehe

[spchu]

Zhang Ning won 1st set 21-17 to answer V3i

14-13 Julia leading in 2nd set

[eaglehelang]

Julia keeping pace with ZN, 14-13
Maybe WMC advising her from the sidelines

[abedeng]

Our young gal has a lot of heart, matching ZN blow for blow.

[d65up2]

Man Simon is not doing good...Park might take this one

[Erwin Kyoto]

ayo Mon....u can beat Taufik, Taufik can beat Park....so u must win it...

[spchu]

come on Julia.....trailing 14-16 now....

[badMania]

Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi are in the court now. Another tricky tie against Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu.

Look's like Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa take a breather as Devin probably is injured. Good strategy by the INA team. They will face either Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii or the "giant-killer" Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Britta Andersen in the QF tomorrow. I hope Rijal/Grace can win.

Simon Santoso just takes the second set 21-17 to force a rubber game.

[winzerer]

Goood Simon. How old is he ?

Guys do you know the name danes trainer ?

[d65up2]

Only miracle can save Simon now

[badMania]

The Chinese Taipei pair has really improved a lot lately and they prove that they can match AG/Joko too....Fang Chieh-Min's smash is quite lethal.

[spchu]

and women doubles Lim Pek Siah Har chiou Hwee also not bad, trailing 11-16 to the formidable chinese

Julia drew level 19-19

[abedeng]

This is better than I imagined, even our 2nd string WS are closing the gap with CHN.

[leonardklh]

julia rocks on to take the second game

[Erwin Kyoto]

Goood Simon. How old is he ?



on July 29 2008...23 years old

[leonardklh]

haha..... julia took the scond game

[Jessica]

Oh yes...rubber game for Julia..Hope she have enough energy..

[abedeng]

This is GREAT!!!! Julia stole the 2nd game from right under Zhang Ning, 5 straight pts from 16-19 to 21-19.

[d65up2]

Simon is no good...4-1 down...dats it

[ants]

This is better than I imagined, even our 2nd string WS are closing the gap with CHN.

Its a little too late. She is playing the Veteran. Zhang Ning slowed down alot during the 2nd set.

[eaglehelang]

WOW, Julia managed to take a set from ZN, trailing 3 to 4 pts at the beginning. This girl's got spunk

[badMania]

Fang/Lee look confident as they take a 11-6 lead at the interval of the first set.

Meanwhile, Julia Wong has just taken a set off Zhang Ning, 21-19. Wow....the chance of Zhang Ning going to the Olympics is quite dim now, given LYB's admittance that she might be dropped if she can't show improvements.

[samuel882]

Great Job Julia!
To get a set from the mighty ZN is very, very tough for a junior

[spchu]

14-19 for women doubles and Julia will fight it out again in the rubber 21-19 in 2nd set. I am impressed indeed

[abedeng]

Simon, pls wake up. Forget any bad line calls if any, you're better than Park.

[badMania]

AG/Joko appear to be lost as they trail big time now....the first set is almost beyond reach now.

[samuel882]

Simon is Parked at the the wrong place now

[eaglehelang]

Its a little too late. She is playing the Veteran. Zhang Ning slowed down alot during the 2nd set.

She won 2nd set Ants. Good for our WS, that the back-ups are stepping up on the plate

[d65up2]

Henjok is a yoyo very inconsistent

[leonardklh]

julia,julia.. jia you.. beat zhang ning now... quick... rubber game

[abedeng]

Its a little too late. She is playing the Veteran. Zhang Ning slowed down alot during the 2nd set.

It's all about boosting confidence, Ants. Before 1980 even the men had the same problem, until Misbun/Jalani won the World Championship bronze and Razif/Jalani went to the semifinals of the All-England.

[Erwin Kyoto]

AG/Joko appear to be lost as they trail big time now....the first set is almost beyond reach now.

too early...the game have not finished yet...:D:p

[samuel882]

Come on Taiwanese ! U can win against MAS top pair, Joko/HAG will be ur easy meat :p

[Jessica]

2-4 now..i am afraid of Julia stamina..

[winzerer]

thanks erwin..

no good for simon....c'mon
Amazing Julia didnt expect it
hope come back for HeJo

[robin7]

Nadal was Tsonga-ed in straight sets 2-6 3-6 2-6. What an upset!

[eaglehelang]

Julia is only 20++ Jessica

[Jessica]

Nadal was Tsonga-ed in straight sets 2-6 3-6 2-6. What an upset!
:crying::crying:...I am really sad..Tsonga is Ace king..:crying:Now i put all hope on Djokovic..

[leonardklh]

julia come on
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[badMania]

A little too late perhaps to mount a comeback for the INA pair as Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu take the first set 21-16 :mad:

Simon Santoso is also losing it, trailing 6-11 at the interval of the rubber-set.

[leonardklh]

huh...... rafael nadal lost so easily?

[Maximum]

my livescore isn't working again... can any1 pls pls pls update the score between zhang ning n julia??? ur kindness n effort is much appreciated

[badMania]

As feared, the Chinese Taipei pair really performs well today....and they begin brightly yet again!
