Denmark open - 2nd round (23rd Oct'08)

[badMania]

LL 17-14.
Hard for Maria to win now.

This has been her problem in her matches against Lu Lan.....leading yet could not finish the opponent off. Ended up losing.....

[Felix.]

Maria is still stuck at 14.
LL takes 5 points in a row 19-14.

[nunu27]

19-14 for LL... ooohh....:(

[robin7]

Wow, 2 pts away for LL...

[kevinboy]

Will lu end this one ? 19-15

[robin7]

LL @ match pt 20-15...

[kevinboy]

Match point for lu

[yen_saw]

It's going to be another nail-biting finale as Lu Lan levels the score now...and overtakes Maria 14-13.

Nail biting finale? don't think so. LL wrap it up with quickly in last few minutes

[Koi^^]

Zhu Lin is getting trashed by Petya on the 2nd set

[robin7]

It's over for Maria as Lu Lan wraps up the decider 21-16.

[nunu27]

ooohh.. MKY lost...hiks..hikss...:(:(:(:(:(

[george@chongwei]

haiya, MKY lost already:(
my paw..:p

[badMania]

It's the same old story for Maria Kristin Yulianti....leading in all three-sets, only to lose the match in rubber-set 16-21, that's after taking a 10-5 lead before the interval. She needs to really learn how to maintain a lead and close the match!

[Felix.]

It's over, Maria lost 19-21 21-12 16-21. Could have closed it in two but as always, Maria didn't get the job done. Oh well, moving on to the next tourney.

[aulia]

Hiks....19-21 21-12 16-21


SAD SAD SAD...:(:(:(

[Koi^^]

Lu Lan came in from behind to get the third set... and for a while i thought she was a goner. Congrats to Lu Lan.

[yen_saw]

Maria repeat the defeat to LL. Congrate to LL.

She did lead 21-13 17-10 the last time they met before losing 21-13 20-22 20-22.

[george@chongwei]

always very close and tight match whenever this 2 players meet each other.

[yen_saw]

She did lead 21-13 17-10 the last time they met before losing 21-13 20-22 20-22.

this time Maria ran out of gas:D

[badMania]

She did lead 21-13 17-10 the last time they met before losing 21-13 20-22 20-22.

So, that's the same old story we are talking about here.....she was leading 19-18 before she lost the first set 19-21. She also led as much as 5 pts in the rubber-set, again, only to lose it.

Next week, yet another early encounter with Zhu Lin and I fear she will lose early too......

Anybody watch this match live?? can tell why she can't finish it??? Look at 2nd set, very-very good...but at the end...huaa.... why...?? why...??

[chemile]

Maria... :( sigh.... always ended like this.... She must patience if facing LL...Ok, better luck next time... :( :(

[robin7]

Zhu Lin will be kicked out of National team if she loses this match...

[badMania]

Maria... :( sigh.... always ended like this.... She must patience if facing LL...Ok, better luck next time... :( :(

U can almost sense it, like what I wrote when Maria was still leading 11-8 at the rubber-set :(

[aulia]

Next week, yet another early encounter with Zhu Lin and I fear she will lose early too......

I think Lu Lan has a very good spirit then she can make a faboulus comeback, but I dont think Zhu Lin can do it too if this happen to her... Maria will beat Zhu Lin...hehe...:):)

and yeah...congrats to Lu Lan... won 2 tight matches against Maria, but still can't make it fair to Olympic Bronze match...:):)

we will see them as 'nemesis', hehe

[badMania]

After this Mixed Doubles match, I will go to sleep.....Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen have beaten 3 INA pairs in a row since last Saturday.....Rendra/Mel, Fran/Shendy and Devin/Lita. I hope Flandy/Grace will not be their 4th victim.

[robin7]

Zhu Lin will be kicked out of National team if she loses this match...
Zhu Lin is in deep trouble as she trails 6-11 in the decider.

[aulia]

Yea... i need to go sleep now...:(:(

still sad coz Sony and Maria...:(:(

bye everybody...:):) gud nite

[george@chongwei]

Zhu Lin will be kicked out of National team if she loses this match...
yeah, and go to Hong Kong..:D:D

[chemile]

Zhu Lin will be kicked out of National team if she loses this match...

Really? I think LYB still put her in National Team at least until next year since he has no choice up to Wang Lin or Wang Yihan are really steady. XXF is almost loose her motivation and passion to play badminton after her lost at OG. LL is also not stable as ZN or Gong Zhi Chao, she sometimes can loose from MKY or TR.

[badMania]

The Danish pair is fast becoming DEN's no 2 XD pair behind Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl.

[robin7]

Petya has more net winners than Zhu Lin in the 2nd & 3rd games.

[badMania]

For the sake of my PAW, I hope Zhu Lin can win!

[george@chongwei]

zhu lin is in a deep trouble now..
can she catch back and wins the game?

[george@chongwei]

For the sake of my PAW, I hope Zhu Lin can win!
petya leading 18-15 now..
better pray hard:D

[chemile]

Zhu Lin lost again in early round... TR successed to beat Judith, Firda will face toughest opponent tomorrow. I hope Firda can eliminate her unforced error and win te battle, well at least with not easymatch for TR.

[chemile]

Tight match for Flagrace.... Denmark pair is really good....

[george@chongwei]

wow, petya just 20-19 now!!
unbelievable.!

[george@chongwei]

wow, zhu lin match point now..!

[george@chongwei]

wow, zhu lin wins the match!!! 3rd set 22-20!!!
what a comeback..

[simonlovers]

Zhu Lin lost again in early round... TR successed to beat Judith, Firda will face toughest opponent tomorrow. I hope Firda can eliminate her unforced error and win te battle, well at least with not easymatch for TR.
wew...my PAW...Petya Nedelcheva...hiks...

[apontoh]

My goodness, Zhu Lin escaped the jaws of death and saved my PAW...:eek:

[robin7]

Unbelievable comeback. 5 straight pts by Zhu Lin to win the decider 22-20, saving 3 match pts...

Hoohoo... ZL saved my PAW.

[limsy]

AMBUlance please...i paw petya...and almost won tat...siao

[badMania]

Sigh....Flandy/Grace lost the first set 22-24, having had 2 game points at 21-20 and 22-21.

[chemile]

Zhu Lin is lucky can managed 3rd set and win the battle. Well, tomorrow we will find one of Chinese player walk over, is Zhu Lin or Lu Lan? :P

[george@chongwei]

AMBUlance please...i paw petya...and almost won tat...siao
unlucky for you..:(
wow, denmark xd won the 2st set in court 1!!!

[badMania]

5 straight pts by Zhu Lin to win the decider 22-20, saving 3 match pts...

Thanks. ZL saved my PAW.

Mine too.....:o

[badMania]

The Danes are on fire now.....they are likely to beat Flandy/Grace tonight....

[george@chongwei]

that denmark xd pair...dutch open winner..looks quite strong

[badMania]

Flandy will need to rely on his vast experience if he and Grace are to win this one here. The Danes are a tough nut to crack.

[george@chongwei]

all the xd match going on right now..
aiz..zzzzzzz....yawn..

[chemile]

My goodness, Zhu Lin escaped the jaws of death and saved my PAW...:eek:

heheh mine too.... I just enter 3 PAWs today and all of them are correct, at least better than yesterday :)

[badMania]

Flandy/Grace trail 8-11 at the interval of the 2nd set. Can they force a rubber-set?

[chemile]

Laybourn/Juhl run 14-0 in 1st set, wowwww!!!

[robin7]

Nielsen/Pedersen in huge lead, 17-9...

[chemile]

Flandy/Grace trail 8-11 at the interval of the 2nd set. Can they force a rubber-set?

I doubt it, but still hope it will be happened ;)
Yawn, sleepy, already midnight... If Flagrace lost, INA only hope from MD...

[badMania]

Grace needs a younger partner than Flandy, who will probably retire at the end of the year. Nova/Grace perhaps?

[badMania]

Nielsen/Pedersen in huge lead, 17-9...

They are getting better and better with each tourney. Unless there's a miracle, they will win this one.

[badMania]

The worst fear is confirmed. Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen claim their 4th INA victim as they beat Flandy Limpele/Greysia Polii 24-22, 21-13.

[chemile]

End of journey for Flagrace. I think PBSI must looking for another player to pair with Grace. Flandy is almost end.

Tomorrow we will see battle Denmark vs England at XD....
Ok see you guys.....good night.............

[robin7]

The worst fear is confirmed. Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen claim their 4th INA victim as they beat Flandy Limpele/Greysia Polii 24-22, 21-13.
Yeah, I saw them play @ Dutch GP last week. Joachim was superb @ the net. If the Danes cut down their unforced errors, they can be an intimidating pair.

[george@chongwei]

[badadum]

Allrite, good work by Genit pair, beating the China & Japan SS champs. Now for Rian/Yoke....

[aprile]

owh..gudjob fr grenit:)

[cooler]

Would have surprised me if the game was any closer...

Chetan Anand won! 21-18, 21-18:)


huhuhu.. sony lost 21-18, 21-18.hiks


sony lost...18-21,18-21


bad day...
miss the train, then Sony lost to Anand...


Wow, Chetan Anand won over Sony K. That's the 1st biggie upset of the day
what happen to Soni losing to Chetan Anand?

[badadum]

Rian/Yokie strolling through. I'm surprised Lars/Jonas is forced to rubber game.....cmon guys!

[badMania]

What a pleasant surprise..Nitya Krishinda/Greysia Polii upsetted Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei in straight sets 21-15, 21-16 :eek: The winners of 3 consecutive titles out in their first outing...hmmm......this should confirm Nitya/Grace's potential. Kinda exciting.....since both are very young...much better potential than Vita/Butet IMHO. Nitya/Grace will face a winnable tie against Helle Nielsen/Marie Roepke for a place in the last 4.

Meanwhile, Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki beat another Danish pair in straight-sets also 21-12, 21-17. Scoreline is actually similar to the the previous day's....spooky :eek: A consolation is that Rian/Yoke will now face a new pair Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye, instead of the Danish foe they haven't beaten so far.

[badMania]

Rian/Yokie strolling through. I'm surprised Lars/Jonas is forced to rubber game.....cmon guys!

The prize is that they are now in the Semi-Final, a walkover win in the QF.

[samuel882]

What a comeback by Yoyo to clinch the decider 21-13 scoring 13 straight pts from 7-10 down to 20-10. :eek:
An usual yoyo tricks ;)

[whatever]

so far, any pics from denmark open?

[etudiant]

yes...finally Nitya/Greysia won over C Shu/Z Y*Lei....guess they learn from their lost last time.......

[Jagdpanther]

what happen to Soni losing to Chetan Anand?
"Anand was in a very good form, while Sony was not", Hendrawan said, as reported by INA newspaper.
Sony lost to a better player. Why so surprised? :confused:
