[Felix.]

And I don't know why people are perplexed by TH's loss. Have noone seen his result this year? It's pretty obvious he's not the player he used to be.

[aulia]

Maria...:):):)

Indonesia Bisa...!!! :):)

[badMania]

Sony Dwi Kuncoro progresses to the SF after a routine victory over Mohd Roslin Hashim, in straight sets: 21-16, 21-11. He will face either Lu Yi or Kenichi Tago.

[carine]

[waile]

[hansonlouphers]

congratz sony!!!next mariaaaaaa and lu lan!! gogogo

[Felix.]

Back to 4-4. Weird.

[abedeng]

Sony Dwi Kuncoro progresses to the SF after a routine victory over Mohd Roslin Hashim, in straight sets: 21-16, 21-11. He will face either Lu Yi or Kenichi Tago.

Tago, I hope. He's an exciting player, though Sony would be favoured to win.

[jam_girl]

lu lan and maria...owh my god...i miss the earlier part...

[hansonlouphers]

Oops, how come Maria has fallen behind?

[etudiant]

Lu Lan in gear 4............

[Felix.]

Lu Lan still up 9-5.

[jam_girl]

why???when maria's match,everyone cheer...

[hansonlouphers]

[Felix.]

Kinda expected. Maria usually doesn't play too well early in the match.

Maria's clawing back now 8-9.

[aulia]

8-10....................come on Maria....:)

[Felix.]

Maria managed to catch up 10-10 now.

[abedeng]

Cute Hirose is about to force rubber, probably she's gonna win this one and destroy my PAW ..... yet again.

[etudiant]

slowly but sure Maria catching up..11-10 now...

[hansonlouphers]

come on Queen OF tHREE Games..

[Felix.]

And Maria takes the lead in the first half 11-10!
VAMOS!

[badMania]

Despite trailing most of the time, Maria takes the lead for the first time, 11-10 at the interval.

[etudiant]

why???when maria's match,everyone cheer...

coz we luv her...

[aulia]

11-10......it's better...hehe...

[Felix.]

Meanwhile, Zhou Mi has a healthy lead over Hwang Hye Yon 11-3.

[hansonlouphers]

take a breath for a while.. hehee..

[nick.h]

aww man i hope someone's recording this match.....so i can watch it later on :D
very tight match

[abedeng]

Now Hirose is back in the bind, pretty WYH catching up ....

[Felix.]

Maria starts to pull away 13-10.

[K14N2]

Maria is leading 13-10 now!!

AYO MARIA!!! :D

[cooler]

[Felix.]

ZM has taken 11 straight points now 14-3.

[etudiant]

aww man i hope someone's recording this match.....so i can watch it later on :D
very tight match

[Felix.]

Eriko from 20-15 to 20-19. Can she close it out?

[aulia]

14-10.....................make a wiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee gap...hehe...:)

[abedeng]

What did I say just now, WYH forces deuce 20-20.

[Felix.]

WYH managed to level it to 20-20.

[badMania]

10 straight pts for Maria as she takes a 18-10 lead. The first set should be hers.

[Felix.]

Maria 16-10. That's 8 straight points from 8-10. :D

[nick.h]

wow maria is playing well!

[abedeng]

Lu Lan will have a mental block against Maria if she does badly again this time ....

[etudiant]

again W Yihan force it 20-20 .....Eriko has problem finishing...squander 3 or 4 MP...

[Felix.]

WYH match point 21-20. LOL

Maria up 18-10!!! Wow.

[abedeng]

C'mon WYH, preserve my depleting PAW .....

[aulia]

18-10.............hmmm........enough????? :):)

[Felix.]

Eriko managed to save MP 21-21.

[Felix.]

Another MP for WYH 22-21.

[abedeng]

Zhou Mi is cruising, good thing I didn't PAW HHY.

[touya]

hi.. i'm newbie..
i hope maria can win this one, but it's look like will be really hard...
but i'm still counting on her...

[eaglehelang]

Hope it will be TH　ｖｓ　ＬＣＷ　ｓｅｍｉｆｉｎａｌ！

surprise, surprise, Taufik lost to JP. ;)

Battle to avenge lost of OG bronze going on........:D

[touya]

maria will win this 1set.. ^^

[abedeng]

Yess!!!! My PAW is secure!!!

Now can fully concentrate on Maria .....

[badMania]

8 game pts for Maria at 20-12....surely, this set will be hers.

[aulia]

Game point.........................sssssssssss:):):)

[Felix.]

Wang Yi Han def. Eriko Hirose 21-19 23-21. Having lead in both game. Poor girl.

[limsy]

hi.. i'm newbie..
i hope maria can win this one, but it's look like will be really hard...
but i'm still counting on her...

WELCOME...MY FRIEND...U CAN INTRO URSELF IN INTRO THREAD...

[hansonlouphers]

hi.. i'm newbie..
i hope maria can win this one, but it's look like will be really hard...
but i'm still counting on her...

welcome here!!! yaya maria take 1 set...

[Felix.]

Maria wraps it up 21-13. YAY!

[etudiant]

Eriko lost....not mentally strong.....Maria 21-13..,...

[K14N2]

MKY won 21-13!! :D

[badMania]

First set done and dusted, 21-13 to Maria Kristin in just 15 mins. Lu Lan had a lapse of concentration at 10-8, allowing Maria to win 10 in a row.

[cooler]

Zhou Mi is cruising, good thing I didn't PAW HHY.
i did, but on hhy:(

[abedeng]

You know what, I think Lu Lan is trying too hard, and her attacks are not penetrating.

Maria should just run her around the court.

[carine]

ZM leading 19-10

[eaglehelang]

Lu Lan will have a mental block against Maria if she does badly again this time ....

:Dhi there, long time no "see". Well, well, the young Wang Yihan won over the local WS.

[hansonlouphers]

hope Maria still consisten as set 1

[aulia]

Yes.......!!!!!!!!!

Take the 2nd.....don't use 'Queen of Three' mode...hehe...:)

[Felix.]

ZM 20-12.
She hasn't been challenged much in the entire tournament so far.
Expected since she's the freshest player since she's not playing OG.

[ctjcad]

why???when maria's match,everyone cheer...

coz we luv her...
..she's the current "fave" WS player to challenge CHN's WS supremacy..;)

[abedeng]

Eriko lost....not mentally strong.....Maria 21-13..,...

Yup, and this is not her first time like I said before. Cute as Eriko is, she is still naive .....

[etudiant]

You know what, I think Lu Lan is trying too hard, and her attacks are not penetrating.

Maria should just run her around the court.

So far so good..its working...

[badMania]

You know what, I think Lu Lan is trying too hard, and her attacks are not penetrating.

Maria should just run her around the court.

The current batch of Chinese WS players are in a downward trend. Zhu Lin lost to Eriko Hirose; Wang Lin lost to Tine Rasmussen; Zhu Jingjing lost early; Jiang Yanjiao got injured. If Lu Lan lost today....there will be only Wang Yihan left.....

[Felix.]

ZM wraps it up 21-13.

Maria up 2-1 in the second game.

[touya]

thank you..
i hope Maria can win this one only in 2 set..^^

where is the intro thread??

[carine]

ZM took 1st set,21-13

[cooler]

zm might not last if it goes to 3 sets

[rizayosia]

Surprising, MKY won quite easily in 1st set and Eriko wasted 5 game points in 2nd set.

[Felix.]

The current batch of Chinese WS players are in a downward trend. Zhu Lin lost to Eriko Hirose; Wang Lin lost to Tine Rasmussen; Zhu Jingjing lost early; Jiang Yanjiao got injured. If Lu Lan lost today....there will be only Wang Yihan left.....
Wang Lin already lost to Tine Rasmussen yesterday.
That being said, they just need more exposure and experience since they are all still pretty young.

[aulia]

4-4....................... come on Maria...>!!!!

[etudiant]

Yes.......!!!!!!!!!

Take the 2nd.....don't use 'Queen of Three' mode...hehe...:)

Lets pray hard for Maria..

[d65up2]

I seriously dun think Maria would win after losing the first set 21-13

[abedeng]

..she's the current "fave" WS player to challenge CHN's WS supremacy..;)

Kinda seasonal "fave", though. First Tine, then WMC and ZM, then Tine again, and now Maria.

Sometimes I feel WS is like MD, so unpredictable ..... :D. Imagine rally players like HHY beating power packed stuff like XHW. And there are still those like Saina, Pia, Xing Aiying and Lydia Cheah waiting in the sidelines

[Felix.]

Still a tight second game.
Maria up 6-5.

[etudiant]

a lot of smash winner for Maria..........

[CLELY]

Wang Yi Han def. Eriko Hirose 21-19 23-21. Having lead in both game. Poor girl.

It's very tight match, looks like Wang Yihan will become dangerous player next, she has talent and fighting spirit.

[Felix.]

Maria wants to pull away from LL, up 8-5.

[touya]

Oh God, please help Maria to overcome LL... please... ^^

[etudiant]

I seriously dun think Maria would win after losing the first set 21-13
it would be the other way around.....

[hansonlouphers]

I seriously dun think Maria would win after losing the first set 21-13

maria took 1 set.. lol

[rizayosia]

I seriously dun think Maria would win after losing the first set 21-13

Umm she won, not losing :confused:

[aulia]

9-5.....................good job Maria...!!!!!!!!!!

[badMania]

Maria is raining smashes on Lu Lan, 5 vs 2 in the second set, as she takes a 9-5 lead.

[d65up2]

Yea sorry wrong post I thought Maria lost the 1st set it turns out that she is winning

[hansonlouphers]

Umm she won, not losing :confused:


maybe he/she miss reading.. hehe

[limsy]

Kinda seasonal "fave", though. First Tine, then WMC and ZM, then Tine again, and now Maria.

Sometimes I feel WS is like MD, so unpredictable ..... :D. Imagine rally players like HHY beating power packed stuff like XHW. And there are still those like Saina, Pia, Xing Aiying and LYDIA CHEAH waiting in the sidelines


THANKS FOR PUT HER IN LIST...

[Felix.]

Maria wants to end this fast. Up 10-5 already.

[abedeng]

Lu Lan's spirit is broken. She can't think anymore.

But this does not mean Maria can expect the going smooth, all the way to the title.

[rizayosia]

And MKY lead 5 points. Wow, I want her to win, but I don't expect this scoreline.

[ssertere]

what... maria suddenly got 5 points in a row ... AMAZING!!!

[d65up2]

Maria Kristin is actually doing alrite at the moment....I thought she was finished last yr as she never show good peformance...is amazing to see a player of grand prix gold class having a go at a first seed in a super series

[Felix.]

Yea sorry wrong post I thought Maria lost the 1st set it turns out that she is winning
Maria lost 11-21 in the first game @ OG against LL and yet she still managed to win.
It's never over until it's over, my friend.

[badMania]

Maria leads 11-7 at the break, as she once again took 6 straight pts at 4-5.

[etudiant]

what... maria suddenly got 5 points in a row ... AMAZING!!!

not quite surprising...she's playing good....

[Felix.]

Maria took the lead 11-7 in the second half of the game.

[huangkwokhau]

Pls update the score..it seems Livescore is loading and loading

[hansonlouphers]

Maria Kristin is actually doing alrite at the moment....I thought she was finished last yr as she never show good peformance...is amazing to see a player of grand prix gold class having a go at a first seed in a super series

i hope not for AT MOMENT.. wish that as long as she plays.. :)

[touya]

now 13-7 for MKY...^^

[huangkwokhau]

How about Zhou Mi vs HYH in 2nd set?

[aulia]

11-7. Keep doing this, hehe....:)

Ayooo Maria....!!!!!!

[rizayosia]

14 - 7 for MKY, goodness. She's on fire.

[touya]

10-7 for ZM..
14-8 for MKY

[badMania]

Another 4 straight pts make it 14-7 for Maria. Lu Lan appears to have been broken (like abedeng said)

[etudiant]

7 pts lead now for MKY......looks like she ready as ever to studying LL game plan....

[nick.h]

maria too good too good!

[hansonlouphers]

Another 4 straight pts make it 14-7 for Maria. Lu Lan appears to have been broken (like abedeng said)

still traumatic maybe??

[Felix.]

Maria pulls away again 15-8.
Looks like it's going to be a one sided match for Maria against World #2.

[limsy]

Hhy Didnt Want To Let Zm Win So Easy

[rizayosia]

16 - 8 now for MKY

[jam_girl]

oh my god maria kristin....!!!

[cooler]

ZM over HHY 10-9, a lot closer game

[touya]

[huangkwokhau]

10-7 for ZM..
14-8 for MKY
Thank you..pls keep updating....still loading...sucks:mad:

[tommy_bun]

What happened to Lu lan????how can she be the next ZN or XXF???

[nick.h]

lu lan post olympic truma against maria :D

[abedeng]

A lot of PAW-ers will rake huge points due to Maria's exploits .....

16-10.

[Felix.]

ZM up 11-9.

Maria up 17-10.

[badMania]

2 quick pts for Maria followed by another 2 by Lu Lan as the gap still remains at 6 pts....16-10.

[etudiant]

4 pts to go to SF....

[rizayosia]

MKY 17 - 10 almost there

[d65up2]

Well it seems Maria is well prepared lets hope it continues......next to watch out for is Zhou Mi...could be very tough and then Tine....well well.......very difficult opponent...if she can win this JPN SS then is good cos she beats all the good players

[huangkwokhau]

I have never seen LL's performance like this........

[ssertere]

17-11 Mky
1309 Zm

[hansonlouphers]

maria.. mariaa.. come on.. end it!!

[touya]

LL trying to catch up..
17-12 for MKY
Oh God, my heart is beating fast....

[limsy]

What happened to Lu lan????how can she be the next ZN or XXF???

just relax lar...tommy....i know u like china ws....:)

[ssertere]

17-11 Mky
13-09 Zm

[aulia]

17-12...................Finish it quickly....!!!!!!!!!!:):)

[etudiant]

oh no LL catching up...

[rizayosia]

Hiya MKY 17-13, don't let her back into the game.

[Felix.]

LL is not giving up, managed to win 3 points in a row now 13-17.

ZM is looking good 14-9.

[badMania]

Maria can't afford to relax now as the gap is narrowed to just 4 pts...17-13.

[touya]

oh nooo...
17-14 for MKY...

[jam_girl]

kristin is very well this time...just wanna see if she reach rubber set playing with lulan this time...

[d65up2]

I dun think Maria can take this one...she letting it slip...Lu Lan is cathcing up real quick

[rizayosia]

Kyaa 17-16 panic!!

[Felix.]

LL is showing why she's the #2 in the world.
Fighting back, 15-17.

[limsy]

Lu Lan Rising From Nowhere

[touya]

17-16..
why she stuck??

[bugjan72]

oh nooo...
17-14 for MKY...

16-17.....what a come back!!!

[hansonlouphers]

oh noo.. come on mariaaa... jaaa..

[tommy_bun]

just relax lar...tommy....i know u like china ws....:)

I like Jiang and Yihan more than I like Lu Lan:)

[huangkwokhau]

It seems tight match for ZM....come on Maria

[Felix.]

Maria managed to break the slump after losing 6 straight points, 18-16 now.

[badMania]

6 straight pts for Lu Lan to make it 16-17, before Maria wins another one back...18-16. A nervy ending for Maria.

[touya]

Please Maria... Show us how to beat LL again...
19-16 for MKY

[Felix.]

ZM is cruising 17-10.

[abedeng]

Maria shows she's human too, dropping points before regaining 2 pt lead.

Anyway, the next great CHN WS won't be ZL or LL, maybe Wang Lin/Wang Yihan or other players we haven't seen yet.

Do it right and other countries can actually take over WS World No 1 with the next batch of players < 20 years old now.

[badMania]

A slight breather for Maria 19-16.

[Felix.]

Maria 19-16.
Two more points, MARIA!

[rizayosia]

MKY 19 - 17, 2 more.

[aulia]

19-16...............oh God.........................come on Maria...!!!!!!!!!!!

[touya]

19-18...
no wayyyy..

[Felix.]

Lu Lan is catching up fast 18-19.

[ctjcad]

Kinda seasonal "fave", though. First Tine, then WMC and ZM, then Tine again, and now Maria.

Sometimes I feel WS is like MD, so unpredictable ..... :D. Imagine rally players like HHY beating power packed stuff like XHW. And there are still those like Saina, Pia, Xing Aiying and Lydia Cheah waiting in the sidelines
..i think it'll still be Maria until Tine can figure out her game or god forbid Maria re-injures her knee, again...Or perhaps it'll be Saina, next (since she still has age on her side)...;):cool:

Hopefully we'll see Maria advance to the Final and meet Wang Yihan..:cool:

[limsy]

I like Jiang and Yihan more than I like Lu Lan:)

BUT WHY NO LYDIA CHEAH???HEHE:p

[jam_girl]

...........................

[touya]

19 all...
i think maria using 'queen of three' mode...

[badMania]

It's all level now at 19-19. Maria might lose this set.....

[Felix.]

Lu Lan managed to catch up 19-19. And now took the lead 20-19.

[abedeng]

LL levels and the next point is critical, 19-19.

LL on gamept, 20-19.

[badMania]

Game pt for Lu Lan at 20-19...saved...20-20.

[Felix.]

Maria levels it 20-20.
Crucial point next.

[aulia]

20-20.............no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cooler]

LL vs MKY 20-20

[K14N2]

LL with another GP, 21-20.

[touya]

21-20 for LL.. oh nooo

[Felix.]

LL takes it 22-20.

[etudiant]

Lu Lan 22-20...........

[jam_girl]

[cooler]

LL want revenge now 22-20

[hansonlouphers]

[abedeng]

Lu Lan escapes, 22-20 and rubber game it is.

Maria made the same mistake Taufik did in the 2nd game.

[badMania]

What a collapse by Maria as she lost the second set 20-22, despite having a 17-10 lead at the ending stage :eek:

[limsy]

Lu Lan Rising From Nowhere To Wion This....me Fainted

[touya]

LL take this one..
hope Maria ' queen of three game' will work... hahaha

[aulia]

RUBBER....:(:(:(:(

Now....use the 'Queen of Three' mode.....

PLS.....:(:(:(

[ssertere]

Here we go... 3rd game, after maria wasting 8 points lead... Go MARIA!!! don't make same mistake...

[Felix.]

Maria's still having trouble to close out the match. :(

[rizayosia]

MKY lost 2nd 22-20, this does not seem good. SHould be mental breaking for her.

[tommy_bun]

BUT WHY NO LYDIA CHEAH???HEHE:p
Haven't seen her..but I like Wong MC,one of the player who has a good fighting spirit:)

[Felix.]

ZM wins easily 21-13 21-14.

[badMania]

Well, after losing the second set so tragically, it would be a miracle for Maria to come back in the rubber-set and take this match. Lu Lan to win!
