[george@chongwei]

[Louisa]

Hey Louisa, cannot say like that. We'll have not seen ZN in action lately. For the past 1 over month she could have been training very very hard, and would have probably whipped herself up to the challenge leh... :p
she trains hard, but the injury she suffers restrict her from perform better...

[george@chongwei]

[george@chongwei]

polish pair won the tight 1st set

[george@chongwei]

looks like its a long rally there in the JR`S match

[Misty100]

she trains hard, but the injury she suffers restrict her from perform better...

If she is still carrying an injury, she shouldn't be playing laaa, and make sure she don't aggrivate it. I think she's fit liao, hahaha

[george@chongwei]

JR on match point now..

[badMania]

Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya breeze through the first round after a comprehensive 21-11, 21-16 victory over Kristof Hopp/Ingo Kindervater. A tougher assignment, probably in Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man awaits next.

Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen show who's the better pair as they beat Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo 21-18, 23-21. They should be a safe bet for Denmark's 2nd MD in the Thomas Cup.

Winston and Cinta_China (and the more loveable tommy_bun) will be spilling more of their tears now :D

AG/Joko show why they DON'T DESERVE any Olympics spot as they lost the first set 23-25, despite having 3 game pts at 20-17 :mad::o

[coops241180]

yaaaaahhh!!! JR/LP win! 23-21 in the 2nd game - what a great match :D:D:D

[huangkwokhau]

Wow..Jonas/Lars won....not a good day for LYB........

[Misty100]

Another CHN pair bites the dust... :p

[madbad]

JR/LP win!!! Tough match but not unexpected. They've been playing well lately

[eaglehelang]

And takes it at 23-21 to Lars/Jonas

[badMania]

joko/hendra.. zzzzzz!!! come on man!!! seriously they must be grilled if they don't win this match.. time to prove something.. come on come on! ayo jok! ayo hendra!

Seriously, I have little hope on them. Rian/Yoke probably will have a better future :o

[Jessica]

Oh no..Disaster for china team as Guo/Xie lost to the Denmark pair..

[robin7]

Lars/Jonas at match pt 22-21. Yes, they did it. Another CHN player/pair gone.

[winzerer]

Yes danes pair won and another danes pair will follow

[pjswift]

LD could lose his match to IND player:pThis could be a forgetable day for the couple:DWay to go, Yippy stands tall without trees:cool::);)
They can go shopping for the rest of the week.This makes up for the lost shopping opportunities the last two AE.Give them a break,pls.

[Misty100]

LYB be having very itchy head, scratching his head nonstop.

[eaglehelang]

[Louisa]

Oh no..Disaster for china team as Guo/Xie lost to the Denmark pair..

[badMania]

At this rate, AG/Joko WON'T MAKE it past the first round in these 2 weeks.

[yannie]

Seriously, I have little hope on them. Rian/Yoke probably will have a better future :o

yeah seriously, they disappoint time after time.. malaysian juniors didn't play well also... sighhh

[Tommy Susanto]

They can go shopping for the rest of the week.This makes up for the lost shopping opportunities the last two AE.Give them a break,pls.
hey there Swiffy, exactly my sentiment;)

[huangkwokhau]

Any PAWed YIP over XXF? I guess not....

[madbad]

I think you guys should tone down this anti-CHN sentiment. It's a little too much. Cheer for your player to win, not for the opponent to lose.

[winzerer]

Today german pair sponsoring by net......many lucky shots

[badMania]

Suddenly, there's 2 Lin Dan :eek:

[huangkwokhau]

They should telecast LD vs Anup...who cares this MD ....sigh!!! they should feature top seeds on TV...

[jasonmarc]

Jill Pittard was playing so well in the qualifying rounds. I think that she has a better chance.

Jill Pittard..?...a new/junior player from Eng...? i wonder why she is gaining so many peoples attentions here....?...:D:D....the reason..? pls...:confused:

[badMania]

13 net winners for the Poles vs 5 for INA pair.
That explains it....

[Misty100]

Court 4 & 5 also shows the same match of LD vs AS... LOL

[george@chongwei]

Suddenly, there's 2 Lin Dan :eek:

Big points for PAWs...hehe...she has chance to win over Anne...another reason, we are on BIG mission to take Madbad down....:D:D

[badMania]

Since so many are PAWing for Nguyen Tien-Minh, although I am a fan of the Vietnamese, I have to say I will support NG WEI!

[Louisa]

LD scored his 1st point by smashing hard.........

[pjswift]

Gillian Clark complemented about Rexy .......
About what? Hairstyle? Emotional composure? Or he wears a bling?
Why are you picking up cooler's disease? Tell 50% and leave us to imagine the other 50%?

[huangkwokhau]

She lost the PAW for many betters :D:D

[winzerer]

[madbad]

Big points for PAWs...hehe...she has chance to win over Anne...another reason, we are on BIG mission to take Madbad down....:D:D

[badMania]

[coops241180]

hehe - my quads are like steel from all the one legged squats i'm having to do :D:D so there are some benefits :D:D

[Tommy Susanto]

I think you guys should tone down this anti-CHN sentiment. It's a little too much. Cheer for your player to win, not for the opponent to lose.

We cannot cause any defeat(s) to CHN players:pAm i wrong;)

[winzerer]

About what? Hairstyle? Emotional composure? Or he wears a bling?
Why are you picking up cooler's disease? Tell 50% and leave us to imagine the other 50%?

how great he was as a player and as a coach

[badMania]

AG/Joko are still asleep apparently as they let the Poles close down the gap to 14-13.

[madbad]

our luck for not following the trend..........:D

george is doing your job on the PAW thread ;)

[george@chongwei]

hope that anup sridhar can win this match!.
its a huge task for him!.z

[Louisa]

LD should be focused, not thinking about XXF's lost............
need not worry for him...he sure will entertains us till at least semi final....

[madbad]

We cannot cause any defeat(s) to CHN players:pAm i wrong;)

Nothing to do with that. It's called civility

[carine]

LD leading 5-4...

[Misty100]

HKG is having a great day so far. NW is trying not to break the rhythm. I think Zhou Mi will win over XHW too.

[huangkwokhau]

[george@chongwei]

i had a feelings that lin dan will acompany XXF to shopping by 2day..:D

[madbad]

KOR finally eliminate another GER pair in MD
POL 16-16 INA. They have now caught up! :cool:

[Misty100]

LD don't like to play Anup i think. Anup gave him a real hard time during the WC07. LD nearly had an heart attack.

[badMania]

It will be Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man, as expected.

See...AG/Joko are being pegged back again...16-16.

[Jessica]

LHI on court now..Come on LHI..Go Go Go...

[madbad]

INA edge ahead 17-16
Anup 11-9 LD
NW 8-6 Nguyen

[coops241180]

first games in the NIA are always a nightmare - i bet most of the upsets to seeded players today are causde by not being able to adjust to the draught - the NIA is reknowned for it :)

as an aside: Goooooooo Anup :D:D:D:D

[Louisa]

[badadum]

[coops241180]

wow anup pulling away - 16-12!!

that said - i seem to remember either at the last AE or the one before LD practically threw the first games of his first round matches so that he could become accustomed to the court and the atmosphere...

wouldn't be surprised to see him lose the first rubber then tear Anup apart in the 2nd and 3rd...

[huangkwokhau]

Come on Nguyen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eaglehelang]

Don't hope on this one.

Still got hope, still got hope, Joko/Hendra won 2nd set

[Choyonn]

Lin Dan is having big trouble...

[carine]

Anup leading 17-14

[Tommy Susanto]

[winzerer]

Yep ..thats suck...I prefer to se LD vs Anup....

Yup especially if we could experience possibly biggest upset for today....beside xxf

[carine]

PSH leading 3-0

[eaglehelang]

LD trailing 1st set 14-17. Is he doing a lose 1st set easily, win 2nd & 3rd set thingy?

Anup can win this one... i truly believes he can do it!!! Go Anup! Kick out LD!!! Anup lead 18 :15

[carine]

Anup leading 19-15

[madbad]

I wonder if Anup's style is troubling LD or if he's just rusty? Anup 19-15 LD

[Misty100]

Anup is on the verge of winning the 1st game... 19 : 16, 2 points away Anup!!!

[winzerer]

Wow anup really made it......

[aeida]

[eaglehelang]

Anup took 1st set 21-16. Let's see if LD ups his game in 2nd set. He stimes too relax 1st set.

[huangkwokhau]

Still got hope, still got hope, Joko/Hendra won 2nd set

[robin7]

Uh huh, LD lost the 1st game 16-21 but leads 4-0 in the 2nd game.

[phaarix]

I wonder if Lin Dan will make this a 21-0 heh...

[badMania]

Sasaki plays well against Park...

He knows how to play Park :cool:

[madbad]

LD has woken up 5-0
NW 17-15 Nguyen

[Misty100]

[badMania]

Uh huh, LD lost the 1st game 16-21 but leads 4-0 in the 2nd game.

As always.....yawn....:o

But he can't do this against Lee Hyun Il or Park Sung Hwan though :cool:

[eaglehelang]

[huangkwokhau]

Chen Yu leads LHI 11-9.........

[badMania]

SEE, 5-0 for LD....so, i said, don't have to worry for LD...he will certainly make it to next round

If the "Golden Couple" both lose today, Li Yongbo will surely have a heart-attack :eek:

[pjswift]

Oh, thanks for completing the compliment sentence.Shall stop guessing for a while since imagination is so far from reality.

[Tommy Susanto]

[killest]

anup is catching up! cud this be a great upset!

[badMania]

Tien-Minh is doing the PAWers here some good deeds.

[coops241180]

not to spoil everybody's day - but Lin Dan did exactly the same a couple of years ago at the AE - practically threw the first game of his early round matchs - just to get his eye in, then proceeded to tear his opponent appart in the 2nd and third games... just when he'd worn them out letting them run around and get excited at taking a game of the world no.1 10-5 to LD at the mo.. wonder whether he'll let anup make it to double figures...

[george@chongwei]

go farer anup!........

[madbad]

INA 8-11 POL at interval
Nguyen at game point 20-19, but NW pulls to 20-20

[xsakurax]

Yes, Tien Minh secured the 1st game 23-21.

[huangkwokhau]

Yes...Nguyen won 1st set..my PAWs....pls win!!

[pjswift]

OK, since no one supports LD, I will
Come on Lin Dan
Then what's XXF gonna do? Wait again? Would you do that to your Jun?

[Misty100]

Anup will comeback for a do-or-die mission in the rubber.

[rizayosia]

Sigh, LD is angry 21-8.

[badMania]

Park is really finding it hard to beat Sho Sasaki now.

[madbad]

yeah sort of, but LD is still finding his balance though;)No one should take this tall, handsome IND player lightly, no one including TH:D

I think LD has found his balance. Anup handsome... [ahem] :D:D

[robin7]

LHI took the 1st game 21-19.

[huangkwokhau]

Sasaki and LHI won their 1st set respectively...LD is up 2-0

[Misty100]

Sho Sasaki is about to take the 1st game over PSH

and LHI won his 1st game over CY

LD keeps up the pace, leads 2 : 0 in rubber.

[madbad]

Then what's XXF gonna do? Wait again? Would you do that to your Jun?

LD should give XXF some $$$ for shopping. If my Jun gets eliminated early, I'll fly to London to take her shopping :D:D:D

[pjswift]

wow anup pulling away - 16-12!!

that said - i seem to remember either at the last AE or the one before LD practically threw the first games of his first round matches so that he could become accustomed to the court and the atmosphere...

wouldn't be surprised to see him lose the first rubber then tear Anup apart in the 2nd and 3rd...
Agree. It's LD's way of giving fans best value for their money.

[winzerer]

Sasaki plays amazingly......hope he has reserve energy

Come on Anup.....3-2

[Misty100]

C'mon Anup!!! Make him sweat to his bottoms!

[huangkwokhau]

I think LD has found his balance. Anup handsome... [ahem] :D:D
Dont tell me that you have a crush on him....:D:D:D it is okay....:D:D

[robin7]

Sasaki won the 1st game 21-13.

[leonardklh]

[madbad]

Sho Sasaki has Park's number.
Anup 4-3 LD
Nguyen 3-1 NW

[badadum]

4-all, either LD reserving now or Anup was holding back in 2nd set?

[Tommy Susanto]

I think LD has found his balance. Anup handsome... [ahem] :D:D
If not, we can have more funs Tomorrow:p:D;)

[yannie]

hau ge, did francis go to all england afterall?

[madbad]

Dont tell me that you have a crush on him....:D:D:D it is okay....:D:D

Actually I think Tommy Susanto kinda fancies him since he described Anup as "handsome"

[jasonmarc]

Sasaki is so acrobatic..amazing play......he can upset park again

He just did..in German Open...right.......;)

His MS is falling.....after he played a superb match in MD......maybe he wanted to switch to MD someday....hehehe:p:D:D:D
