Indeed, I had noticed as well. Zwiebler vs Anand starting now. Actually wanted to see that on the stream which is still not up :confused:. Looks like they skipped the whole XD ...

how about y mixed double is not playing?

im just a bit irritated..in the live score it says tht marc zwiebler play against chetan anand...but in the draw, it says that he will play against john moody?!? this is a bit strange?! someone knows the reason for those problems??

:D You are right! I thought there was something strange with Zwiebler playing Anand but I couldn't think of what it was. I guess there must have been a redraw and the mixed doubles players where not informed on time ... or something.

I think John Moody withdrew.........

or maybe they decided to put MS 1st as MS have to play 2 matches in a day.

TCS losing....

I think John Moody withdrew.........

I think you are right. I just noticed as well the rest of the draw is still the same :o.

TCS lost 1st set 15-21

wow..TanChun Seang lost 1st set......

yannie's Monkey is lost 1st set!!! C'mon yannie, he needs you to cheer him on!

TCS lost ady..........

Poompat fought back to take 2nd set....21-15

Anand def Marc (3) 14-21,21-12,21-16

Anand def Marc (3) 14-21,21-12,21-16

good for India...........

Richard Vaughan def Poompat 21-15,15-21,21-12
I thought Poompat could qualify to main draw, given that Lu Yi got promoted to main draw......

Thailans's Pompat lost to Richard Vaughan from Wales, interesting.

This is not looking good, both the promising youngsters from South East Asia suffering defeat in their first match at Qualifying. :(

You have any idea who is this Richard Vaughn?
TCS already out, surprisingly in straight sets.

Auf Wiedersehen Björn, the self-proclaimed #3 player of Europe ;). Pang through in straight sets 13 & 18 ...

Richard Vaughan is a Wales players, existed for quite long in the circuit but never really get any big titles .
I guess there must be something wrong in TCS games, not improved but drop drastically ever since being promoted to the senior squad.

Sigh..Cannot sleep..Tomorrow going to get results already...So nervous..TCS lost so easily..

Eric Pang and Palyama will square off for main draw

Not a good start for Germany players as well....

Even Scott Evans lost to Pablo the 1st set........

Sigh..Cannot sleep..Tomorrow going to get results already...So nervous..TCS lost so easily..
Hi Jess.. Don't be nervours, urs fake is already being decide ;)
Good Luck to ur future studies :)

ok, thanks, saw his name before.
TCS lost to Cze player, weird, he did ok in MO 2008. TCS is not in senior squad yet, still back-up squad but Rashik Sidek wants better results this year. TCS improved under Misbun in 2007, then stagnant.

Hi Jess.. Don't be nervours, urs fake is already being decide ;)
Good Luck to ur future studies :)
Thanks uncle Sam...But still nervous..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hoon/Wee Kiong will be up against Swiss pair soon. hmmm should be 12 midnite Msia time.

If Firda can pass Xiang ai Ying, she will have easier path to main draw....

When did Joppien claim to be europes #3? Didn't know about that
Bad results for the Germans...I was really confident that Marc Zwiebler could make it at least to the maindraw...

Zwiebler must not have been happy with the withdrawal of John Moody, otherwise his chances would be pretty good yes.
Here is Joppien: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORCDxc-uO80
To be fair he did say 3/4 with Persson and at the time his ranking was better. Not so sure if the new scoring system is better for him or maybe still adjusting ...

If Firda can pass Xiang ai Ying, she will have easier path to main draw....
Thats a big IF Hau-ge....

Thats a big IF Hau-ge....
No really a big IF.....lets hope....;)

Pia def Larisa griga, 21-17,21-6 and will challenge Salakjit Ponsana in next round.....

Firda scooped 1st set 21-18 after leading 20-14....

Pia is Markis's sister right?
Go Firda!

Pia is Markis's sister right?
Go Firda!
Yes........Kido, Bona and Pia are siblings........

so far so good for Firda.....

Firdasari wasted 4 match points from 20-16 to lose 20-22.........sigh!

Lets see if Firda can sustain her performance.....16-10 to 16-13....now

4 straight points from Xing....10-16 to 14-16

At last, Firda struggled to defeat Xiang Ai Ying 21-18,20-22,21-18......good revenge from Sea Games' defeat..

Glad she won.....but man, she need to develop some killer instinct! It should've been over in straight sets.

Hoon/Wee Kiong up against Swiss pair.
British pair beat Korean 3rd pair in 1st set

Glad she won.....but man, she need to develop some killer instinct! It should've been over in straight sets.
No,...her mentality needs some works....she always has a problem of finishing off the match.....so many times...I told her coach, Marleve, last time...she was leading Tine in DO but lost that set....

Korea 3rd MD,Cho/Han, just lost to British MD, Addock/Middleton,17-21, 15-21

Richard Vaughan def Shieh 21-10,21-11

Xu Chen/Zheng Bo lost unexpectedly to Swiss pair..............

Xu Chen/Zheng Bo lost unexpectedly to Swiss pair..............
yeah, im also surprised that they lost to the switzerland pair..must be many supporters around to cheer for them.

nice to see that saina nehwal and anna rice partner each other during the wd match...which they will face off against each other in the 1st round of the WOMANS SINGLE..:p

wow India and Canada 2gether, 1 oldie and 1 youngie hehe.. how did that happen?>

wow India and Canada 2gether, 1 oldie and 1 youngie hehe.. how did that happen?>
They have been playing together for several tourneys already.....this is not their first outing

Looks like Goh Liu Ying/Ng Hui Lin from MAS have advanced to the main draw and will face Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung from KOR.

i juz hope that all MAS player willl advance to the maindraw...

Dicky Palyama just advanced to the main draw by beating his countryman Eric Pang and will meet Boonsak Ponsana.

Firdasari wasted 4 match points from 20-16 to lose 20-22.........sigh!

As always from Firda....can't finish up the match....(the Choong/Lee malaise).

Only Adriyanti Firdasari advanced from the Qualifying draw and she will face Zhu Lin today. Good job in qualifying though.

I must say I expected better from Xing Aiying and Pia, just goes to show that they have not stabilized their play yet. Last time around, Pia was all over Salakjit (saw them in MO Qualifiers). Wasn't even close.

The upsets of the day in Basel (qualification rounds)
Chetan Anand (IND) beat Marc Zwiebler (GER,3) : 14-21, 21-12, 21-16
Pia Bernadet (INA) beat Larisa Griga (UKR, 4) : 21-17, 21-16
