Let's get the ball rolling

WS
Yihan Wang over Larisa.Griga. Will be hard to stop the Chinese youngster
Wenyan Li over M.K.Yulianti . I wonder if fatigue will be a factor after Maria's 67 min classic with Eriko
J.Schenk over Aiying Xing. I'm afraid Julia will be very hard to beat at home
Jae Youn Jun over Yu Hirayama. Need you ask more?

MS
S.Hwan Park over Sho Sasaki. Park will defend to the death
Seung Mo Shon over Eric Pang. Ginseng power rolls on
Shoji Sato over Weijie Gong. The experienced Japanese will teach the Chinese youngster a thing or two
Hyun Il Lee over M.R.Hashim. Lee completes the Korean hat trick

WD
KW.Lee/HJ.Le over Novita/Polii. Will near impossible for the INA girls to cause an upset
Gao Ling/T.T.Zhao over Jiang/Y.J.Li. Experienced Gao Ling will guide the misfiring ZTT over the SIN duo
Maeda/Suetsu over Endang/Rani. Unfortunately, another INA pair bites the dust
Chien/Cheng over ]JE.Ha/MJ.Kim. The Taiwanese pair are consistently in the QF or SF

MD
Jung/Y.D.Lee over Fang/S.M.Lee. Another Korean pair through
Rian/Yonathan over Han/G.W.Cho. The best chance for INA to qualify
Guo/Z.B.Xie over Sakamoto/Ike. I'd be shocked if it wasn't an easy win for the Chinese pair
JJ.Lee/Hwang over Naoki/Keishi. What? Another Korean pair through?! Should be no surprise

XD
H.B.He/Y.Yu over Rijal/Polii. Straightforward win
Han/YM.Hwang over Durkin/Sorok. I'm tired of saying this... another Korean win
YD.Lee/HJ.Lee over Hsieh/Chien. You can't bet against LYD
Chen/TT.Zhao over Clark/Kellog. Are Clark/Kellog worthy of their #2 seed? Not today

Shoji Sato over Weijie Gong. The experienced Japanese will teach the Chinese youngster a thing or two

I still think that Gong can upset the Japanese.

Chinese players who are in top 100 can beat anyone in top 20.

I still think that Gong can upset the Japanese.

Chinese players who are in top 100 can beat anyone in top 20.

nah, i don't believe that's true.
i don't think any of the CHN players outside the top 50 stand a chance against any of the top 20 players.
and certainly none of them outside the top 20 can beat any of those inside the top 10, not unless there's an injury of some kind.

camon roslin!!

my livescore is working fine, 2 courts being used at the moment, 1 just about to start.

Where is all those fanatic Rian Supporters now:rolleyes:

The Korean juniors will be a pair to watch. For London OG 2012

This match proove that Rian /Yoke is still too far behind the standards of MK/HS , Luluk/Alven...

U've forget ZhuWellun just being settled by Sato yesterday in R16
If im not mistaken Zhu WL once beat Shoji at Japan open N Gong did it too at Filipina(I guess)

I should have followed hcyong to PAW on Han/Cho.

There were unconfirmed reports of Rian slightly injuring his hand... But anyway... credit goes to the Korean pair. I also know they are quite talented... :)

Park is fighting neck to neck with Sasaki.

Rizal/greys so far looking good

The Indonesians couldn't finish the 1st game despite leading 19-15 at one stage. The He/Yu took the game 21-19 after scoring 6 straight pts. What a waste for the Indonesians.

what a waste after whole set lead and 15-19 still losing set.....sigh

Guo/Xie are having problems with the Japanese pair, losing the 1st game 14-21.

He/Yu on gamepoint!!! They've just stolen the game from Rizal/Greysia .....
Abang, tak keluar ke? (Not going out?)

JAP pair took care of Guo/Xie pretty handily. Bad for everyone's PAW

PSH is about to proove that Korean GimSeng is better than Japanese Sake

Oh no, oh no... He-Yu has stepped up their gas...

PSH is about to proove that Korean GimSeng is better than Japanese Sake

In the 3rd game so far, Korean Soojyu is not working well... better to take Japanese Sake... :D

The Japanese players are doing very well on both courts.

C'mon Rijal!!!! Greysia, show them you are more tomboyish than that CHN tomboy...

JAP pair took care of Guo/Xie pretty handily. Bad for everyone's PAW
I didn't PAW on this match.:D

yess!
gong win the 1st set!

and the chinese pair of he han bin and yu yang bt the INA pair of Rijal and Polli in a very thight match!.

as I expected, the more experienced He/Yu had more of the mental toughness required to close the game in crucial points...but kudos to Polli/Rizal for a well fought battle.

He/Yu won it 21-19 21-23 23-21 in 66 mins. Rijal/Polii almost pulled it off.

Not Again.....damn i scared shitless.....end up .....so close but yet so far.....anyway, what a match.....next time hope will be better for rijal/greys

Shon is struggling with Eric. He must be tired after yesterday's match.

Come on Maria you better be careful now

LJJ/HJM about to wrap it up against JPN pair

Interesting observation - all the winners so far are either from CHN, KOR or JPN :cool: And more to come too

Juliane at game point v XAY 20-18

Juliane at game point v XAY 20-18

except this german ... :D

except this german ... :D

This is the only match that could spoil the flag parade of CHN/JPN/KOR (provided the remaining Koreans win their matches)

Chien and Cheng ensure the Taiwanese flag joins the SF party with a straight games win 21-17, 21-15.

Juliane trying to keep the German flag flying too. Way ahead of (a tiring?) Xing 11-4 in the rubber

In XD, the Russians are also trying to crash the party, took the 2nd game 21-16 against the 3rd seeded Koreans :eek::eek:

Xing is a spent force. Juliane cruising to the SF, ahead 15-5 in the rubber

Juliane outs Xing out of her misery with a comprehensive 3rd game victory 21-8. She now play... wait for it... my girl Jun. See ya Juliane :D:D:D

Koreans putting the foot on the accelerator up 14-7 on RUS in decider

it's over, no INA players in semis :mad:, no MAS as well :confused:, just CHN, JAP, TAIWAN, GER, and KOR, weks :(

QF summary by country:
CHN - 7 wins from 7 matches (pretty much expected)
KOR - 9 wins from 11 matches :eek::eek: (could have been 10 wins if PSH did not get shocked)
JPN - 2 wins from 5 matches (not bad)
TPE - 1 win from 3 matches (as expected)
GER - 1 win from 1 match (thanks to Juliane Schenk)

Biggest disappointment was INA - 0 win from 5 matches! Granted, they did not send their strongest team.

I guess after today's events, it seems extremely safe to PAW all chinese players...

What a tiring day yesterday, didn't even have time to follow the proceedings of the QF as I arrived home "this morning" at 3:30am :o

As expected the INA players crashed out in QF. I had stated that NONE will breach the Semi-Finals and indeed.

First up, the Djarum pair Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki lost to Han Sang Hoon/Cho Gun Woo 20-22, 11-21. Nevertheless, a good performance in reaching the QF, after that victory over the Japanese pair Tadashi Ohsuka/Keita Masuda in R32. Up next will be Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun in the All-England.

The best performer was Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii as they were locked in an intense battle with He Hanbin/Yu Yang and nearly won the match with 2 match pts in hand and a huge lead at the closing stages of the rubber-set. However, the Chinese pair was more experienced and they snatched a 21-19, 21-23, 23-21 win. Expect more close encounters between these 2 pairs later in the year, esp after the Olympics as Rijal/Grace will step up to be INA's no 2 pair (or even no 1 pair if Nova Widianto does retire after the Olympics).

Maria Kristin Yulianti also fell to the Chinese player who specializes in winning European tourneys, Li Wenyan in rubber-sets 21-18, 16-21, 12-21. The Women's Doubles pairs also lost as expected. Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti still can not get past any Japanese pair as they lost to Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda 21-17, 16-21, 9-21. Jo Novita/Greysia Polii also lost easily in straight sets to the top-seed Li Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung 7-21, 18-21

it's over, no INA players in semis :mad:, no MAS as well :confused:, just CHN, JAP, TAIWAN, GER, and KOR, weks :(

Never mind, it's not big disappointment. Rijal/Polii almost won yesterday with their impressive performance against the top-seed He/Yu.

bisa. if you loose, u beli 50grips ok?:D:D haha. I in KL saturday.:D
ok, u owe me 1 grip now!!!, extremenopowe!!!
