[badMania]

[carine]

finally Roslin took 2nd set 21-17

[robin7]

Roslin is having problems in closing the 2nd game after leading 18-8 at one stage. Yes, he did it and forced a rubber.

[winzerer]

congrats Vita/natsir.....surprising tight match

[huangkwokhau]

Go Yohan/Albert!!!!!!!!!!!

[badadum]

Has Vita/Butet ever beat the China-Taipei's pair?

[badMania]

Jo/Grace are confidently ahead 11-6.

[eaglehelang]

Hiyaaa, Gan/Lin was slow to start engine in 1st set, lost it 19-21

[apontoh]

Jo/Greysia maintaining a healthy lead in the 2nd set, 13-6.:cool:

[carine]

Boonsak leading 2-1

[badMania]

Has Vita/Butet ever beat the China-Taipei's pair?

Unfortunately, NO!
They lost twice last year, in the Phil Open QF and Chinese-Taipei Open Final.

[huangkwokhau]

Has Vita/Butet ever beat the China-Taipei's pair?
Nope..they lost twice...in Phillipine and Taiwan Open......

[carine]

no hope for Roslin ady...

[winzerer]

what a great point for joachim....

seems jo/grey really in control now

[eaglehelang]

Roslin lost stream in 3rd set, trailing 1-9

[Yojimbo]

I want Gan/Lin to make it far in the SS.They haven't really had a breakthrough since being paired up.Btw....Roslin boleh, Gan/Lin boleh!!~! and Shoji Sato is on court!!! Go Shoji!!!!!!

[badMania]

Unexpectedly, in just a short while, Jo/Grace are leading 17-7 :eek: Injury perhaps?

[carine]

Jo/Greysia leading 17-9

[eaglehelang]

And Roslin is behing 1-11, injury too??

[carine]

PJ leading 11-1...

[aeida]

[carine]

Jo/Greysia leading 19-9

[Yojimbo]

Roslin...!!! Tired already?? it's an 11 point margin la..Something wrong? btw....go Gan/Lin..!! Take the 2nd set.Shoji!!!! Come on...beat Boonsak!!!

[carine]

Jo/Greysia won it.....

[eaglehelang]

Indonesia WD takes it in straight sets.
Korean XD takes it too in straight sets

[chandler_k04]

No unforced error in JN/GP vs DK/GE

[badMania]

The second set was surprisingly easy for Jo Novita/Greysia Polii as they beat the home pair Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg 26-24, 21-10. They should face another winnable tie against Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung for a place in the last 8.

[carine]

Boonsak leading 11-6

[robin7]

What happened to Roslin? He looks like a deflated balloon all of sudden.

[carine]

Gan/Lin leading 12-5

[eaglehelang]

Come on Gan/Lin, you can go further. Take the 2nd & 3rd set!

[robin7]

The second set was surprisingly easy for Jo Novita/Greysia Polii as they beat the home pair Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg 26-24, 21-10. They should face another winnable tie against Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung for a place in the last 8.
INA WD pairs are doing very well so far by having 3 pairs in the 2nd rounds.

[Yojimbo]

Hmm...my livescore something wrong...can someone tell me who's leading between Shoji and Boonsak?

[robin7]

Gan/Lin, go go.....

[huangkwokhau]

Now we need 4th INA WD to 2nd round too

[robin7]

Boonsak 14-10 Sato

[huangkwokhau]

INA WD pairs are doing very well so far by having 2 pairs in the 2nd rounds.
3 pairs with Rani/Endagng............

[carine]

match pt for Joachim Persson 20-9

[Misty100]

Gan/Lin are hopeless, with sucha wide lead, now cut to only 1 point... I think they will lose the encounter eventually. Sighs...

[aeida]

[carine]

Joachim Persson won it 21-9

[robin7]

[Maximum]

[carine]

bonsak leading 19-14

[eaglehelang]

Gan/Lin are hopeless, with sucha wide lead, now cut to only 1 point... I think they will lose the encounter eventually. Sighs...

Errr, the HK MD is actually ranked higher than Gan/Lin. Albertus/Yohan are no 18, Gan/Lin no 30. Of course, Gan/Lin didnt get to play in 4 SS last year and KO this year, so, lost ranking points there.

[carine]

[carine]

[Maximum]

come on KJ... KJ, my 4th PAW... lets win this together!!!

[Misty100]

Errr, the HK MD is actually ranked higher than Gan/Lin. Albertus/Yohan are no 18, Gan/Lin no 30. Of course, Gan/Lin didnt get to play in 4 SS last year and KO this year, so, lost ranking points there.

Based on their abilities, they should be making some headways, where else the HKG are merely making up the numbers.

[eaglehelang]

Based on their abilities, they should be making some headways, where else the HKG are merely making up the numbers.

Correction.. They are HK's no 1 MD pair.

[Yojimbo]

Thanks robin7.I really hope that Gan/Lin and Sato can advance...I really miss seeing Sato play..

[eaglehelang]

Looks like Roslin's case too, trailing very far behind Gan/Lin

[robin7]

Boonsak 10-9
Kenneth 20-18

[huangkwokhau]

wow..Kenneth escaped with 21-18

[cute_tbh]

i dont think gan/lin will advance..but they play well...dragging the Hkg pair into rubber set is quite impressive..given that the hkg pair is ranked higher than them...huhu....

[robin7]

CYK levelled at 18-all before KJ took the 1st game 21-18.

[leonardklh]

[Misty100]

Boonsak seems to have lose his will after losing a close 2nd game, trailing so 5 : 9

[Misty100]

I think most of BCers have gone of to bed.

[badadum]

Go Sato-Sato-Sato.

[Misty100]

Boonsak will be going shopping too, tmw.

WMC leads 18 : 13

[Misty100]

WMC tore MK apart in the 1st game, 21 : 13 ... different league.

[badMania]

RIP Boonsak and my PAW :crying:

[Yojimbo]

Shoji Shoji Shoji..!!! Won already? How about MAS WD and Mew Choo?

[robin7]

WMC took the 1st game 21-13 but was trailing 0-3 in the 2nd...

[badadum]

Shoji won. Mas WD losing, WMC won 1st set.
Here's hoping Maria would turn it around.

[huangkwokhau]

4th pair of INA WD are thru........

[aeida]

MAS WD already lost

[badMania]

Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda make it 4 out of 4 WD in R16. But expect most of them to get beaten tomorrow :o

[badadum]

Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda make it 4 out of 4 WD in R16. But expect most of them to get beaten tomorrow :o

WMC seems to be in good form. I just hope that she will be able to hold her form and go all the way since XXF is no more an obstacle now in the q/f.

[huangkwokhau]

Hopefully. But tell that to Hau-ge, he's not so confident with all of 'em. He's expecting them to get ditched by tmw.:cool::cool:

[Misty100]

KKK/TBH is losing grip, what's happening? ... trailing behind 11 : 15

[shenron]

[Misty100]

Only 3 of us around postings, (Hau-ge, robin and me) besides you, kwun... why is it so?

[Misty100]

LL is trailing behind Frida, wow... go Frida!

[shenron]

I think CY/FHF and MK/HS might be laughing when seeing KKK/TBH are struggling to get a point from JPN pair. They are not consistent at all....sigh!

[Misty100]

Danes No. 7 seed JE/ML lost to Taiwanese, what an upset! in straight sets, time for them to retire.

[robin7]

Damn it, Saina lost in the rubber 18-21.

[aeida]

oh, the japanese won 1st game...

[huangkwokhau]

Oh No..KKK/TBH lost 1st set

[Misty100]

Rexy's proteges lost the 1st game... gosh, i am disgusted!

Guessed this is what happens, they never fail to surprise me... :p

[shenron]

Funny is....KKK/TBH are struggling against JPN 2nd pair....

[huangkwokhau]

Firda gets stuck.....LL has amazing 10 straight points.....

[robin7]

Funny is....KKK/TBH are struggling against JPN 2nd pair....
They are so vulnerable that they can lose to anyone.:(

[winzerer]

hmmm 10 consecutive points for lu lan......firda really s...and still looking good for Pia

[robin7]

Looks like another early exit for Koo/Tan, I'd better go to sleep. Sigh...

[shenron]

KKK/TBH has been too long overdue....they need to bounce back at winning titles.....

[winzerer]

wow japanese pair reall upseting malaysia

[shuzzack]

what the heck is wrong with kkk/tbh?haish....

[kwun]

oh. Ikeda/Sakamoto took first game from Koo/Tan 21-18 . leading 7-6 2nd game.

[shenron]

Come on KKK/TBH, there still some fans believe in you.....

[chenchoiyenn]

yeah. and i'm one of them!!

[Misty100]

Success comes too early for KKK/TBH, the higher they climb, the harder they fall.

We need vching to bombard them... funny, where is that kid, he never fail to show up whenever KKK/TBH is playing. :p

[robin7]

Koo/Tan have never been in the lead in this match.

[chenchoiyenn]

yeap. narrow that gap and seal it with some great smashes.

[shenron]

KKK/TBH are the ones that are having a mental block here....


wow japanese pair reall upseting malaysia

[aeida]

c'mon Koo/Tan!! fight hard!! Joko/Hendra fought hard and they've won!!
u can do the same!!

[Krisna]

Didn't the Japanese pair got beaten by Rian-Yoke last week? So... at this rate, maybe Rian-Yoke can also beat KKK-TBH?!?

[chenchoiyenn]

all the way to the end. where's the fantastic 10 pts in a row we saw during MO?

[shenron]

they are really in deep trouble now.....feel pity for them...at the end, veteran pair always saves the day for MAS......ishk...ishk

[winzerer]

[Misty100]

What happen to that "Speed, Power and Space"? Rexy was so gungho when they won last year.

[chenchoiyenn]

gungho? what does that mean?

[Krisna]

From what I see, it looks like the Japanese pair is making sushi out of KKK-TBH.... :eek:

[huangkwokhau]

come on..Pia..pls win 2nd set

[shenron]

after seeing this, we do not mind if you lose,.....but please lose it with dignity like rubber set or what....not in straight set.

[chenchoiyenn]

come on. at least not in the first round.

[kwun]

Ikeda/Sakamoto leading 14-10. not looking good for Koo/Tan right now.

[Misty100]

So much said in the sports new, but all seems the same, they are still losing badly.

[shuzzack]

can't imagine they lost the first round of all england...
please..don't lose!!!

[Krisna]

Hey the Canadian is actually playing Taufik well...

[kwun]

So much said in the sports new, but all seems the same, they are still losing badly.

18-21 / 12-14 isn't any where close to badly. come on, talk with your brains and not with emotion.

[aeida]

12-16.. still can catch up!! go Koo/Tan!!

[shenron]

always wondering....why can't they convert everything Rexy taught about winning again and prove it here....so weak....

[chenchoiyenn]

yeah. yeah babes!!

[Krisna]

Hey, I don't like what's going on in the Dabeka-Taufik match... Is Taufik still dazed by jet-lag?!?

[shenron]

[kwun]

Hey, I don't like what's going on in the Dabeka-Taufik match... Is Taufik still dazed by jet-lag?!?

maybe playing with his left hand.

[chenchoiyenn]

omg. finally...

[ants]

KKK/TBH always have problem during the 1st round.. they are like Diesel engine.. need to warm up...

[Krisna]

I think we can say sayonara to INA's WS soon...

[chenchoiyenn]

smack their fish heads and fry them till golden brown!! that's what i'm talking about!!

[shenron]

yeah....now....they are showing some hope....18-17

[robin7]

Koo/Tan lead for the 1st time in the match at 18-17.

[chenchoiyenn]

[robin7]

Tied at 18-all..... Oh dear.....
