Sasaki is closing the gap at 14-18. Will it be too late?

[badadum]

KJ up 19-16.

[Misty100]

Sho Sasaki is catching up in the 2nd set though trailing far behind...

[coops241180]

candra is suffering from a hamstring niggle i think.. he doesn't look as dynamic as the other three on court..

[abedeng]

Tony is missing his delicate touch today.

[george@chongwei]

sasaki is catching up!!!.

[Misty100]

18 : 19 now... one point deficit... he can make it!

[robin7]

Oh dear, Sasaki 18-19.

[eaglehelang]

A resurgence of Korean MD after their mediorce results since WC 2007?

[huangkwokhau]

error after error from candra..I( think Korean will prevail in this match....

[badadum]

Any predicton about KJ vs Sasaki match? I haven't seen Sasaki playing before.

[george@chongwei]

choong tan fook/lee wan wah is warming up on the court now...

[huangkwokhau]

too bad..Koreans played much better.....

[robin7]

Bye bye, Candra/Tony.....

[Misty100]

Habis, No. 5 seed got knockout too... sighs

[Winston_T]

who's to complain?

[carine]

HJM/LJJ won it.....

[abedeng]

I can say that this Korean pair could be one of the favourites, unfortunately they are expected to play Cai/Fu. Cai/Fu are lethal against Koreans.

[coops241180]

bye bye candra and tony... 21-17...

[robin7]

KJ 3-0 in the decider.

[Winston_T]

Kor MD pair win against TG / CW

[carine]

[Misty100]

Another set of veterans on court now... hope this pair of uncles will triumph :p

[abedeng]

Ok, signing off for a 100 km journey home ....

[george@chongwei]

khn bob smash and gets the 1st point...

Habis, No. 5 seed got knockout too... sighs
First fallen seeds for the day.

[badMania]

Will Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man have a chance against Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun tomorrow? We will see...

[badadum]

Sony should be next. Sorry Sato-san, got to support SDK.

[huangkwokhau]

they are shgowing MAS MD vs USA...too small to see the match......

[zqloy]

I can say that this Korean pair could be one of the favourites, unfortunately they are expected to play Cai/Fu. Cai/Fu are lethal against Koreans.

Koreans hv mental block against the Chinese.
But who knows, the Korean pairs seems to be in good shape lately?

[george@chongwei]

Ok, signing off for a 100 km journey home ....
wah, why so far 1, abedeng/?
berhati-hati semasa di jalan raya...:D

[Winston_T]

Kenneth leads 5 - 1

[Misty100]

I want Sasaki to win then will be interesting match to watch against LD........

Me too, Hau-ge... could be an interesting match.

[Birdwood]

I want Sasaki to win then will be interesting match to watch against LD........

I'd like that too. KJ always loss to LD if I'm right.

[coops241180]

planetbadminton is evil - in the gap between the md and wd games o nthe show court they panned to the MD next door - CTF/LWW vs the americans.. - how cruel..

[Winston_T]

MAS MD leads 6-2

[demolidor]

Any predicton about KJ vs Sasaki match? I haven't seen Sasaki playing before.

Already posted ;) Think all-out attack vs kenneth. He even tricked Sho to waist 10 points of energy in the 2nd set :p, how's that for a gameplan :D.

[badadum]

Doesn't look to good for Sasaki right now, trailing 1-7

[Misty100]

wah, why so far 1, abedeng/?
berhati-hati semasa di jalan raya...:D

He lives so far from his workplace... 100km!

[robin7]

KJ just refuses to go home as he leads 7-1.

[george@chongwei]

Will Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man have a chance against Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun tomorrow? We will see...

[carine]

chong/lee leading 13-5

It is amazing that KJ still has a good stamina against Sasaki.......

[george@chongwei]

If XXF can lose 1st round......, If Kido/Setiawan can lose 1st round......:D:D, anything can happen.

[huangkwokhau]

He told me he wanted to go to wash room.....umpire said" pls hold"....:D:D thats why he lets KJ win many points.....:D:D

[carine]

chong/lee leading 19-7

[Birdwood]

Already posted ;) Think all-out attack vs kenneth. He even tricked Sho to waist 10 points of energy in the 2nd set :p, how's that for a gameplan :D.

You're right and it's one-sided now. Maybe Sasaki is less experienced or he's running out of gas.

[robin7]

Uncles at game pt 20-8. Took it.

[carine]

chong/lee took 1st set 21-8

[Winston_T]

[carine]

KJ won it 21-12

[coops241180]

KJ looks like he's going to drop Sasaki out of the competition after making it a bit more hard work than it should have been..

[leonardklh]

KJ won.. hehe..:)

[robin7]

Kenneth at match pt. Won it.

Uncles 8-6 up.

[leonardklh]

where is victorching.. so quiet 1...

[Birdwood]

If XXF can lose 1st round......, If Kido/Setiawan can lose 1st round......:D:D, anything can happen.


I think FHF/YC is more predictable than XXF lately. At least the pair has been more consistent.

[badadum]

Still waving support for Bob/Howard...cmon!! :)

[carine]

chong/lee leading 10-6

[huangkwokhau]

Lost my PAW again......sigh!!

[Winston_T]

Kenneth to meet the most possible opponent, LD tmw in the last 8

[carine]

chong/lee leading 11-9

[badadum]

Kenneth to meet the most possible opponent, LD tmw in the last 8

KJ seemed always made it to QF.

[robin7]

Uncles look determined after their compatriots fell badly yesterday.

They are up 11-9.

Yeah, he is quite consistent!

[badadum]

Cmon Bob/Howard, tie it!

[samuel882]

Shoji must win,, otherwise I would have no trust on the Japanese team from now on :p

[george@chongwei]

sato is very fit and can run very fast...

[tornera]

this will be the tournament where KJ will beat LD for the first time!
Anyone's in for a quick bet?

[carine]

chong/lee leading 15-12

[Misty100]

KJ seemed always made it to QF.


That's the reason why he is seeded at No. 5 ... LOL :D

[badadum]

Shoji must win,, otherwise I would have no trust on the Japanese team from now on :p

Even after their MDs took out the defending AE champ and the World Champ yesterday? ;)

[robin7]

Uncles 17-12 up.... Camon....

[Birdwood]

KJ seemed always made it to QF.

He's good, more in the league of PG, not enough to beat TH, LCW, and LD. Just wondering if he ever made passing though LD before?

[xsakurax]

CEH/WPT have an uphill task when they will play against the 1st seed...wei yi li/zhang ya wen...

[tornera]

he never beat lin dan, but he had him "shaken" once last year.
But then again, there has to be a first for everything. A couple a months
ago he beat Chen jin and Bao for the first time, so he's in shape!

[george@chongwei]

he never beat lin dan, but he had him "shaken" once last year.
But then again, there has to be a first for everything. A couple a months

[george@chongwei]

wow, sato leading 5-2 now..

Luluk/Alvent 1st. Which looks like in good shape recently...

[kevinboy]

CJ and BCL are not as good as LD. Let's wish KJ good luck and the match be competitive tomorrow.

[samuel882]

come on Sasaki !u can do it against the WC runners up

[george@chongwei]

ok... i also need to take some breaks now...

[huangkwokhau]

JPN WDs are getting tougher and tougher.....

[eaglehelang]

CJ and BCL are not as good as LD. Let's wish KJ good luck and the match be competitive tomorrow.

my friend, now you appear, you've been out of the scene till now he he, heard AE callin eh?

[badadum]

JPN WDs are getting tougher and tougher.....

Good, would loved to see the cuties do well :D.

[samuel882]

Hopes this game can be dragged into 3 set for Sasaki's favour, he is physically fitter than Sony

[carine]

sony leading 11-8

[huangkwokhau]

shot into the net by CHN...13-9 for JPN..

[tornera]

CJ and BCL are not as good as LD. Let's wish KJ good luck and the match be competitive tomorrow.
I agree, let's do that. My prediction though is KJ - LD: 21-16, 12-21,23-21:D
kom så Danmark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coops241180]

omg WD is so incredibly dull...

[samuel882]

I agree, let's do that. My prediction though is KJ - LD: 21-16, 12-21,23-21:D
kom så Danmark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LD seems unstoppable here, not even LCW able to prevent him; never mind KJ..

[Nievk8701]

i think CTF/LWW is more consistent.
perhaps the best bet for olympic gold for mas md, no?

[huangkwokhau]

wow..both matches are getting closer....come on Sony!!

[Jessica]

Phew...Luckily our uncles are through...

[badadum]

Hello Sony?? Wake up pls.

[huangkwokhau]

omg WD is so incredibly dull...
It is all about Lobbing..netting and placing........:D:D not enough??:p

[samuel882]

Times to sleep.. Sony.. Yawn :)

[PlayaFromMalaya]

I agree, let's do that. My prediction though is KJ - LD: 21-16, 12-21,23-21:D
kom så Danmark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heres my prediction..KJ wins 30-29 29-30 30-29 ...2 hours :cool:

[Birdwood]

my friend, now you appear, you've been out of the scene till now he he, heard AE callin eh?

Was not interested in GO. But AE is alway a hot spot for contestants and a barometer for everyone's fitness. Look like LCW is again going to the final to face LD.

[badadum]

Times to sleep.. Sony.. Yawn :)
No no no, wakes up!!! :p

[kevinboy]

heres my prediction..KJ wins 30-29 29-30 30-29 ...2 hours :cool:

It will be good for Bao Chunlai:cool:

[carine]

Sony leading 16-15

[huangkwokhau]

now CTF is watching ZJW's match...........

[samuel882]

Sato-San ! Gambateh ! Ichiban!

[carine]

16 all for Sato n Sony match

[ctjcad]

He's good, more in the league of PG, not enough to beat TH, LCW, and LD. Just wondering if he ever made passing though LD before?
..from the top of my head, i don't think KJ has ever beaten LD...perhaps in much earlier times or in an exhibition type match..anyone else knows??..:confused:
*Boy, will be doing some catch-up reading with all these threads..:p

[carine]

YW/ZJW leading 19-15

[eaglehelang]

Was not interested in GO. But AE is alway a hot spot for contestants and a barometer for everyone's fitness. Look like LCW is again going to the final to face LD.

Difficult to say, top seeds fell yesterday. No 5 seed in MD just lost. Korea & Japanese MD having resurgence.

[carine]

Sato leadong 19-16

[huangkwokhau]

Haiya Sony...................16-19

[carine]

YW/ZJW took 1st set 21-15

[samuel882]

one more point to close the first game ! Go ! Sato

[carine]

sato took 1st set 21-17

[badadum]

They just turned the afterburner and streak past the JPN pair.

Sony.... gaaahhhh.
ONWARD to 2nd!

[eaglehelang]

Sato is working very hard to get into top 16

[singhzico]

That is really funny

[samuel882]

Yao Jie Jie !
Hopes u can keep the Dutch Flags Flying in Birmingham

[samuel882]

SATO! Take ur chance now, win it straights!

[badadum]

Sony leads 4-0....
Good, don't turn to another sushi....

[carine]

YW/ZJW leading 7-1

[carine]

Sony leading 6-1

..from the top of my head, i don't think KJ has ever beaten LD...perhaps in much earlier times or in an exhibition type match..anyone else knows??..:confused:
*Boy, will be doing some catch-up reading with all these threads..:p

I always thought you had photographic memory and I'll trust whatever you say.

One problem with KJ is his shots are quite predictable, few variations, worse than LD.

[singhzico]

Are u watching it live on the internet and where?

[carine]

[Birdwood]

Difficult to say, top seeds fell yesterday. No 5 seed in MD just lost. Korea & Japanese MD having resurgence.

These are new comers (not re-appearance of old pairs?) so the ranking has not reflected the facts that they has beaten everyone lately. MS players are much more stable with very few surprises.
