The biggest collector of upsets have to be Maria Kristin, right? :p ...
LOL, yes, for this tourney. She beat Zhou Mi yesterday & Zhang Ning today.
I was eating bakso and watching the match at the same time. I thought it was all gone at 18-20...only to see Maria so calmly recovered the deficit and eventually sealed the match. I screamed in delight....hehe.......
Good thing the Final will start at 2pm local time tomorrow, which means I will probably have time to watch the first three Finals, before going for a function at 6pm. The organizers definitely have planned the scheduling which fits my needs :D
Must be a grand function to celebrate INA's and your win! :)
yippie and wang chen???...yippie is the 3rd after tina and wmc to beat all the top 4 from china...
But unfortunately, Yippy's form seemed to have dropped of late. Hope she recovers in time for the Olympics. I presume she's qualified. ;)

a confidence booster for Sony beating BCL. Gunawan/Chandra still the experience favourite to win the game. Unless Fuzzy/Zak can keep on attacking and fitness. Those 2 old man still very tricky and stubborn.

The "official" list only counts upsets against seeded players. Yao Jie not seeded player, so not counted. If not, there'll a load more upsets than 17

Neither, since I am back home in INA....in Surabaya (they last held an Indonesia Open in 2006) to be exact :D They still host the annual Jawa Pos-Gudang Garam Indonesia International Challenge though.....

Oh, sorry... regarding the notable China-beaters, I forgot about Pi Hongyan, Xu Huawen, Yao Jie, and Wang Chen... er... because they were all from China themselves... :p I was focusing on the WS who were really not from the mainland...
As for Yippie... she... seem to have lost a lot of weight. No power left in her game now... :p I would advise her to bulk up again... :)

What a shocking results for the semis.
When many predicted only INA XD will survived ( excluding simon, of course), the results went the other way around.
Congrats to INA to make up their losses in both TC.UC semi final last month

Hehehe, yes, based on badmania's prediction, only Simon's, Candra//Tony's and Zheng/Gao's wins fulfilled his predictions, the rest 5 were totally unexpected results!
No offense, badmania. But I did too haev a similar prediction as yours and was totally shocked (in a positive way) to see the outcomes!

The "official" list only counts upsets against seeded players. Yao Jie not seeded player, so not counted. If not, there'll a load more upsets than 17
Maria is ranked #25-30, while Yao Jie is most often ranked between #5-15, that is an upset!!! ;) :D
I am not ranked, but if I can beat the unseeded Yao Jie, then I also scored an upset. :p Because Yao Jie is an established player, I am not.

Yes, yes, I understand-lah. Our young Limsy did another list with lower ranked beating higher ranked but noone enterntained him when he asked "can count or not, ranking very close.":D:D
So, this IO, I only count unseeded/lower seed beat seeded player/pair. You're most welcome to do up another list with lower ranked beating higher ranked from Round 1 onwards, he he. Me not so free to keep looking up BWF website to see who's higher ranked, who's lower rank.:p:p

Too bad Maria could not pull out one more upset against the defending World Champ. Now that could have been an undisputed upset... :p
