TH leading 11-10 at interval

wew . c'mon topik !
hhe ..

another first round exist for TH in china?

Aiyoyo... TH lost to yoyo club president in 1st game. 17 : 21

Uncle TH Lost 17-21 in 1st set..... Hmmmmm

looking at the game, it looks like uncle Taufik is going to lose. I don't think he'll clinch the 2nd game.

Aiyoyo... TH lost to yoyo club president in 1st game. 17 : 21

ouuh . aiio topik ! smangat !

poor taufik
should be retired soon...........

Yoyo king is doing his ding-donging in the 2nd game, I think he will lose the match eventually :p

Taufik, semangat!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Taufik won 2nd set, 21-13

Easy 2nd game to TH 21 : 13... and take the deciding game too Taufik!

Goto Ai won.. So many PAWers happy :D

Uncle is leading 11-8 now.. Hope he will win

updating livescore plz....:)

NW won, many PAWers got fooled:crying:

11-11...........come on Taufik...:)

Hafiz leading 17-15... if lost, TH should retired soon.. Let Simon, Tommy, Yunus, and younger players play in SS tournament

Should be retired soon, n become celebitry than badminton player....

yoyo and party boy is neck and neck, 19-17 for HH now

but TH has better focus to close it while HH is mentally weaker

miracle happen, suddenly the livescore change it to 19-19

Go Taufik !!!

how is TH ???
is he won?

interesting match in the rubber game, TH trailing by one point 18 : 19

Still not yet, Hasyim Match Point now...

wow... 20 all now...

20-20!! Who'll win??

wah, uncle TH hasn't given up. quite surprising. 20 all.

Owh its a deuce now. 20-20

21 : 20 TH is leading ...

TH won... hooray!!! :)

Wowww !!!

Finally Taufik finishes it at 22-20 !!!

Taufik Hidayat (INA) bt. Muhammad Hafiz Hashim (MAS) 17-21, 21-13, 22-20....

TH survived 22-20

Hafiz should just retire and make babies... nothing like his brother Roslin, though at 33, still playing some real competitive badminton and winning some good matches.

Relief...

Hopefuly Taufik will able to through to the next round again.. :)

TH barely won 22-20. He's indeed getting old.

yoyo and party boy is neck and neck, 19-17 for HH now

but TH has better focus to close it while HH is mentally weaker i guessed right, yoyo couldnt close it.

Phew....my bet on Taufik Hidayat paid off....9 PAW pts.

Hahaha. Funny expression by Taufik when Hafiz's return hit the net, making him win the match. In addition, at 20-19 (Hafiz leading), when Taufik's return go far back to Hafiz's field, Hafiz thought he won already (he screamed). But it was in, so it became 20 all. Quite entertaining in a sense.

congratz 4 taufik.....
ur way still long 4 this tourney.....
keep it up!!!!

what will be next match???

boa chun lai shave his hair?

TH barely won 22-20. He's indeed getting old.

Took rubber sets to beat Hafiz, either Hafiz is really good or Taufik is not that good. Half full or half empty scenario, depends on how you look at it :D

Bao & Boonsak hv good fight 8-8, but I think Bao will win.

I tend to go with the latter. He's way behind his prime performance.

..it's either Taufik is really fit or Hafiz is not that fit...(i can imagine Hafiz saying to himself, "My goodness, how can Taufik last this long?"; while Taufik is thinking, in the 3rd set, "Please, Hafiz, end the game now for me")..;)

Even the home players withdrew...really weird. This gave pairs like Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan a free 5040 pts for QF qualification and Nicole Grether/Charmaine Reid 6420 pts for SF qualification.

:D:D RLOL, ctjcad, that's really funny. Make a caption for Bao's new errr "no hair" look ;):p

anyway, i would say that overall 2day is a good day for mas shuttlers who was in action just now..
but except for YOYO..:mad::mad::mad::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes ::rolleyes:
no need to say about that guy already:rolleyes::crying:

The truth is both are not good... TH could barely stand after the match.

BCL's game is fun to watch. He moves gracefully in court. His game is full of large angle and unexpected shots.

I can't remember the last time Taufik reaching the finals in any SS or GP tournaments..

I can't remember the last time Taufik reaching the finals in any SS or GP tournaments..
..Taufik reached a Super Series' Finals round was in last yr's Japan Open, which he lost; that's the first, last and only time he has reached a SS Final.
As for Gold GP (1 level lower than a SS), the last time he reached the Finals round was during last yr's Macau Open GP, which he also lost.
Overall, he is winless in either the SS tourney or the GP Gold tourney.:p

I can't remember the last time Taufik reaching the finals in any SS or GP tournaments..
Macau 2007 and Japan Open last year....
