Hope they can avenge in 2nd...

[badMania]

15 unforced errors from the INA pair as they lost the first set 21-23. They managed to save 5 set-pts, before yielding the set. Let's see if they can improve in the second set :cool:

Kido is so frustrated in Setiawan!!! believe MK/HS will come back in the second

[badMania]

Kido/Hendra make a strong comeback as they lead 11-4 at the interval. A rubber-set should be imminent.

yep, but it's 635 and not 631!!! playing a more consistent game the Indonesian are... HS' form is coming back

[touya]

18-8... 3 more...

[badadum]

Hmm either Cai Yun and his trainee are playing possum or MK/HS is on fire.....

[badMania]

If not for those unforced errors in the first set, this could have been over in two sets as Kido/Hendra take the second set 21-10. But well, let's see what will happen in the rubber-set. I hope Kido/Hendra can maintain their fiery form.

[carine]

yes,MK/HS took 2nd set,21-10

[z3048018]

it's a pretty 'dead' arena!!! "no" clapping whatsoever!!!

[Jagdpanther]

It's halfway to all DEN final in MS as Joachim won the 1st game, 21-16 against Wacha.

[badMania]

It's 11-6 at the interval to the INA pair.

Congratulation to MK/HS...
21-23 , 21-10 , 21-14

[carine]

yes.MK/HS won the match

[romizone]

Markis Kido is the best now ..........

Especialy for Kido ,

He have a powerfull smash ......

[badadum]

Finally, 21-14 game, set and match.
Good luck tomorrow Kindra... Hendra need to waste the opponents @ the net.

[badMania]

Another Chinese test in Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye awaits Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan as they progress to the Final, after beating Cai Yun/Shen Ye in 3-sets: 21-23, 21-10, 21-14. IMHO, the pair they will face tomorrow will present a sterner test.

Yess, finally have 2 representatives in the final tomorrow. I hope MK/HS will play better than today and grab 1st title in Europe SS.

[badMania]

Yup...they should have the upper-hand, although Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye have upsetted the second-seed as well as the eighth-seed in a space of 24 hrs. A first title in Europe will definitely give them confidence for the All-England in 2009, one of Kido/Hendra's main target for next year.

[touya]

Joachim persson win 21-16, 21-15...
All Dane final in MS n XD...

[Jagdpanther]

And Denmark ensures 2 titles as Joachim beat Wacha in straight sets, 21-16 21-15.
Great success for home team. Congrats!

[touya]

I hope LL will win over Zhou mi...
I want to see LL vs WL... ^^

[z3048018]

you can actually hear the players breathe....

[badMania]

For today's SF, I think you just underestimate your opponents especially in WD and you'll be disappointed by that. I won't be too surprised if all 3 predictions go the other way round. ;)

Well, I am not too disappointed by today's result, given that I have 2 out of 3 right. Wong/Chin are more experienced than Nitya/Grace, so, I give them credits for winning today. Besides, the INA pair did give a good fight, esp in the first-set.

I am still predicting that Rani Mundiasti/Jo Novita will beat Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui tomorrow for their first SS title! As far as I know, Wong/Chin have those final-jitters as they have never won a GP title :eek: So, let's see what will happen tomorrow. At least, Jo Novita has the experience (with Greysia Polii) on beating some of the top 10 pairs, including Wong/Chin themselves and also winning the Philippines Open 2 years ago ;).

Nah, it's fine and healthy right now. Check it out!

Ck, 3 matches, 3 rubber... Reflects both countries rivalry in the future...

[LI De Quan]

current no.1 and former no.1,should play three sets!

Yes, I agree... I hope INA can bring 2 title tomorrow... :cool:

;).

Being experienced as they are, if WPT/CEH lost the Semi today, can jump longkang (drain). Not putting down the INA WD but being Msia's no 1 WD, they should have what it takes to take it (barring any injuries, esp CEH).

[tyo_reborn]

Too bad Nitya/Grace lost to MAS pair tonight. Nevertheless, they must have done their best.

Congratulation to Jo/Rani and Kido/Hendra for winning the games tonight. Hope they can grab the titles for INA!

It's fine & health at your place but NOT over here & a few other Msian BCers :(

[tyo_reborn]

Anyway, Zhou Mi seems to be still on fire. I think she will win this match.. Tua-tua keladi..lol.. *peace*

[Jagdpanther]

Ah well. Seems no one care 'bout Lu vs Zhou match anymore. :p:D
BTW, Zhou won 1st game, 21-16.

[touya]

if zhou win over LL, i think she will win over WL again tomorrow..
well zhou really strong lately...

Well, they lost to Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei, who in turn lost to Nitya Krishinda/Greysia Polii. So, it's reasonable to predict that Nitya/Grace can beat Wong/Chin ;) If I were to underestimate the MAS pair, I would have written "the INA pair would thrash the MAS pair easily", and not "the MAS pair has an edge....."

[tyo_reborn]

Zhou Mi still holds the lead. Wondering how she managed it that well. Yea, I hope Zhou Mi win this match, that'd be more interesting to watch tomorrow. Zhou Mi leads 12-8 now.

No lah, not saying you underestimate WPT/CEH, just the expectation of WPT/CEh is higher since they're experienced pair, esp against non China WD. They did manage to beat Lilyana/Marissa in Japan (finally). ;);)

[touya]

LL trying to catch up...
I still hope LL can beat ZM

[Jagdpanther]

5 more pts for Zhou...

[touya]

Has anybody know LL n ZM record head to head??

[Jagdpanther]

Match point for Zhou.
And she take it.
Zhou wins 21-16 21-15.

[LI De Quan]

It's so sad---ZHU Lin continue to show us her poor "performance" & LL hard to beat ZHOU Mi!!

[tyo_reborn]

Zhou Mi wins 21-16, 21-15...

[chemile]

Zhou Mi wins 21-16, 21-15...

Thanks I cancelled my PAW for Lu Lan just in last minutes...

[kevinboy]

And with the victory over Lu, Zhou Mi will become world no.1 next week no matter she bt WL or not tomorrow. Lu Lan is the defending champion of Denmark Open.

Zhou Mi : 69480 points (after semi)
Lu Lan : 68799 points

[lin_xingfang]

and there again...ZM beat LL (again)!!

it seems that Zhou Mi is kind like a "krytonite" for Lu Lan

[touya]

Zhou mi really dominating lately...
having four consecutive final.. (japanSS, China master, Macau n now denmark)

[lin_xingfang]

for tomorrow...

i'm looking forward for the CHN Masters SS 08 Final Rematch between Zhou Mi vs Wang Lin

of course...i will give a big support for the young future CHN WS to get her payback this time (hopefully) :)

for another CHN representative...Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye, i think its too hard to beat the hot Markis and Hendra if u looking at their current peak....but who knows if Fu/Shen can make an upset...

[kar_mun]

Has anybody know LL n ZM record head to head??

according to the astro commentator, this is the sixth meeting between the two of them. Zhou Mi has won all of them. It seems that Lu Lan just can't beat Zhou Mi.

thank you..:):)
wow.. so ZM is more threaten to LL than MKY...:D:D:D

[lin_xingfang]

and also PG vs JP is an interesting one to see
the future Danes vs the veteran PG

bring the best game for tomorrow! :)

I thot 25 is considered young in Europe standard? :confused:

i don't know, but he is in the same age with Lin Dan...
:D:D:D

[abedeng]

It's so sad---ZHU Lin continue to show us her poor "performance" & LL hard to beat ZHOU Mi!!

I think CHN should concentrate on those younger girls Wang Yihan and Wang Lin, they seem to be more complete players. Keep XXF in the team for a few years to help guide them.

Lu Lan has a weakness against certain type players (Zhou Mi/Tine Rasmussen) and Zhu Lin's stamina is a joke, she almost went down to Petya earlier in 2nd round ...... These are known issues that CHN coaching staff hasn't been able to address.

..IMO, Zhou Mi is still the no.3 WS for CHN..Just look at the fact: 4 consecutive WS Final appearances in 4 tourneys..:cool:

dont forget bout Jiang Yanjiao

i think Lyb should give this gal more chance to compete in upcoming tourney

compared to Wang Lin and Wang Yihan...Jiang is already 22 (if i'm not mistaken),so i think its time for her to take a big stage to improve her game
