[badMania]

Once again, the MAS pair has 5 net-winners vs 1 from the INA pair as they take a slender 11-10 lead at the interval. Can Rian/Yoke force a rubber-set?

Why yoyo-ing like that?

[tehsham]

KKK/TBH quite safe home to the semi

[abedeng]

9 more PAW pts in the bag as Koo/Tan takes the match 21-16.

[robin7]

Koo/Tan gain 4 matchpoints.
Ayo... Habisin....

[abedeng]

Taufik doing some serious chasing now, 13-14 before JP breaks his run 15-13

[badMania]

It was a good effort by Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki but they could not go to the distance as Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong prevail in straight-sets: 22-20, 21-16. If the World and Olympics Champions also beat the other MAS pair, it should be another rematch between the two nemesis in the SF.

[robin7]

9 more PAW pts in the bag as Koo/Tan takes the match 21-16.
Okay, I can keep their XD match...

[jon_91]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....kkk/tbh Finalll Thru To The Semis......wan Go Bed Liaw..........good Nite

[tehsham]

Okay MAS pairs are thru 22-20, 21-16

[abedeng]

Taufik back level, can he sustain the momentum?

[limsy]

9 more PAW pts in the bag as Koo/Tan takes the match 21-16.

hehe...i also paw koo/tan...:p

[abedeng]

JP stubbornly refuses Taufik right of way, 16-15

[abedeng]

hehe...i also paw koo/tan...:p

Yes, but I'm higher up the PAW ladder than u ..... kakakakaka

[robin7]

Abedeng, keep it coming...

[abedeng]

Ai Goto and Wang Lin on court. Wang Lin shouldn't have problems here but I am not PAW-ing the match.

[abedeng]

JP pulling away again, 18-16.

Taufik says, "Stop!!" 17-18

[robin7]

Yes, but I'm higher up the PAW ladder than u ..... kakakakaka
Not so after QF... :p

[abedeng]

JP closing the 1st game, 19-17

[abedeng]

Time for mental capacity, Taufik 18-19.

[nicolas33]

[abedeng]

JP reaches 2 gamepoints.

[abedeng]

any live streaming? thanks...

Not that I know of.

[Noridayu]

It is a very great day for us Malaysian that we have 2 semis tomorrow. Hope more to come. It is great to see KKK and TBH back on track.

[limsy]

Yes, but I'm higher up the PAW ladder than u ..... kakakakaka

[abedeng]

JP takes the 1st game 21-18 and it is now uphill for Taufik.

[limsy]

It is a very great day for us Malaysian that we have 2 semis tomorrow. Hope more to come. It is great to see KKK and TBH back on track.

SO AS mas have 2 md in wjc...hehe...:p

[abedeng]

It is a very great day for us Malaysian that we have 2 semis tomorrow. Hope more to come. It is great to see KKK and TBH back on track.

They are not yet back on track. Not until they consistently beat those higher ranked than them, and not lose to lower ranked opponents.

[robin7]

Against a fitter JP, TH probably might well lose the match if he loses the 1st game... Let's see...

[abedeng]

Goto takes initial pace, 3-2

[Noridayu]

SO AS mas have 2 md in wjc...hehe...:p
Yes. Let's hope more good news for us as we will staying until early morning watching the matches via internet.

[abedeng]

Taufik starts off 2nd game, 2-0

[abedeng]

Wang Lin's errors gifts Goto 6-2 lead.

[robin7]

JP takes the 1st game 21-18 and it is now uphill for Taufik.
See, I know JP is a tough guy...

[abedeng]

Taufik 4-1 up, must be careful not to use all his gas.

[robin7]

Wang Lin's errors gifts Goto 6-2 lead.
Battle of 2 fighters...

[abedeng]

Goto keeping Wang Lin at bay, 7-4

[abedeng]

But now Wang Lin starts chasing, 5-7

[abedeng]

As do Persson, 3-5

[abedeng]

Goto tries to maintain gap, 8-6

[abedeng]

As do Taufik, 7-4

[limsy]

Yes. Let's hope more good news for us as we will staying until early morning watching the matches via internet.

[abedeng]

Goto 11-7 up at the break, she's pretty good so far with minimal mistakes.

[limsy]

i would be happy if ai goto win...muahaha...

[abedeng]

Must be long rally between JP and Taufik, score still at 7-5 in Taufik's favour.

[Weily]

As do Taufik, 7-4

I wonder what do you do for living, is it a full time sport reporter. the way you describe the scores act like a professional! well done! carry on!

[Noridayu]

hehe...i will sleep soon...nid to wake at 9...:crying:...
Ok. I will stay awake until the mx game end involving Malaysian.

[Morten]

Can anyone confirm if something is wrong with either Kido/setiawan because the odds on them have increased heavingly!!! Im really close to put a lot of money on them

[abedeng]

Taufik 11-8 up at the break.

[abedeng]

Goto still maintains her lead, 15-12

[abedeng]

But Taufik extends his lead 12-8

[abedeng]

Taufik is really focused this time, 14-9.

Goto losing focus, Wang Lin 14-15.

[abedeng]

Now Wang Lin is in the lead, 16-15

[abedeng]

I wonder what do you do for living, is it a full time sport reporter. the way you describe the scores act like a professional! well done! carry on!

Nope, a full time sports reporter doesn't earn well in Malaysia ..... :p

[limsy]

Ok. I will stay awake until the mx game end involving Malaysian.

wah...kak...u so support us...so touch

[abedeng]

Taufik 15-10 up, he must wrap up this game as quickly as possible.

[Morten]

odds on kido setiawan went from 1.20 to 2.60 :O

[abedeng]

Goto gets a 2nd wind but Wang Lin stays in the lead, 19-18.

[abedeng]

Goto levels 19-19.

[abedeng]

Taufik 18-12 ahead, 3rd game very likely

[limsy]

odds on kido setiawan went from 1.20 to 2.60 :O

u mean betting???:eek:

[abedeng]

A single gamepoint to Ai Goto, can she convert?

Yes she can!!!!

[abedeng]

Taufik on 8 gamepoints!

[Morten]

u mean betting???:eek:

yes its quite a big spring

[abedeng]

And a rubber set it is!! 21-12 victory for Taufik.

[limsy]

I Off Liao...go To Sleep...bye

[abedeng]

Excellent recovery from Ai Goto, having wasted all that early lead. Maybe Wang Lin got complacent, she is prone to that .....

[Noridayu]

wah...kak...u so support us...so touch
Of course. I cannot sleep without knowing the result. I will relax and went for short nap while waiting for Malaysian players in action.

[abedeng]

The 3rd game starts with Taufik 2-1 up.

[abedeng]

Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei on court now, against a very tired Donna Kellogg and Anastasia Russkikh.

Should be no problem for the CHN pair to add on my PAW collection ......

[abedeng]

Goto springs a surprise, 5-2 up. Wang Lin is probably having a mental block, having lost that close 1st game.

[abedeng]

JP makes his move and levels the score, 4-4

[abedeng]

Taufik holding his grip on the game, 6-5

[Morten]

Persson doing quite good lately and still in terms of being an european quite young (25). He should be able to take over from Kenneth

[abedeng]

Goto has even more grip on her fortunes, 7-3

[leonardklh]

come on.... goto and tawfik!!!

[robin7]

I'm back from shower. What's up?

TH forced a rubber. Ai Goto secured the 1st game.

[abedeng]

Persson doing quite good lately and still in terms of being an european quite young (25). He should be able to take over from Kenneth

Yes, but you need another player ala Gade or Poul Erik Hoyer Larsen/Morten Frost.

Players like Persson are good but rarely win titles.

[abedeng]

Persson retakes lead 7-5, as Wang Lin chases Goto, 6-7

[abedeng]

Persson displays boundless energy, 9-5.

[abedeng]

Wang Lin displays limitless talent, 8-7 up.

[abedeng]

CHN girls create a flawless start, 5-0

[abedeng]

Wang Lin regaining control of the match, 10-8.

[abedeng]

Taufik is out of control, 6-10 down.

[abedeng]

Wang Lin takes a break with 3 pt gap.

[abedeng]

Taufik tries to prove me wrong, 8-10

[abedeng]

CS/ZY cruising along 9-3

[abedeng]

Taufik is fighting hard, that's the spirit. 10-10

[abedeng]

Wang Lin saying sayonara, 13-8

[abedeng]

Persson gains one pt lead and races for further consultations, 11-10

[abedeng]

Persson 12-11 up, Goto behind 10-16

[abedeng]

CS/ZY got complacent and only deserve a 3 pt lead at the break.

[abedeng]

Consulting break worked wonders on JP, 14-11

[abedeng]

Wang Lin about to finish the 2nd game off, 18-11

[abedeng]

Taufik still full of fight, 13-14. Now 15-13 to JP

[abedeng]

Wang Lin forces rubber 21-11. CS/ZY 13-10 up.

[abedeng]

Taufik is really fighting, but JP stays in the lead 17-15

[abedeng]

Now 18-15, time for Taufik to do drastic measures.

[abedeng]

Donna/Anastasia teaching CHN girls a lesson, catching them 13-14

[abedeng]

Drastic measures are working, Taufik 17-18

[leonardklh]

taufik jia you!!!

[abedeng]

Wang Lin with a bright start, 3-0

[nicolas33]

taufik...come on...................

[abedeng]

Who is more hungry, 18-18 now!

[abedeng]

Taufik regains lead, 19-18

[abedeng]

JP levels and the next rally is very critical.

[robin7]

Come on JP.... Go go....

[abedeng]

Goto cannot match Wang Lin, 1-7 down.

Taufik on matchpoint!!!

[abedeng]

JP does not give up, deuce.

[tehsham]

Jp and TH deuce 20-20

[abedeng]

Goto looks to be throwing in the towel, 1-9 down.

[abedeng]

CS/ZY being hounded by ENG/RUS pair, 18-17

[abedeng]

Taufik gets a second opportunity, 21-20

[tehsham]

Go TH finish it off

[nicolas33]

ye.....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiii.. taufik

[abedeng]

Taufik wins!!! 22-20. The whole match lasted exactly an hour.

[tehsham]

Yes TH had done it.....

[abedeng]

CHN girls win 1st game 21-17 after toying with danger.

[leonardklh]

taufik won!!!now it's turn for cheng shu and zhao yun lei to deliver and also wang lin...

[ye333]

LCW must be very happy now.
Yes TH had done it.....

[abedeng]

Wang Lin could just stroll to the semis, but she must not forget what happened to her in Macao.

[abedeng]

Wang Lin 12-5 up. Can Ai Goto do another Julia Wong stunt on her?

[robin7]

TH is just too tough mentally for JP. Well done to JP. Congratz to TH.

[abedeng]

As usual, CS/ZY start off flawlessly, 3-0

[xlasher]

TH play his match with three hot games... I think he wants to practice his stamina...wkwkwkkw:D:D

In Macao, he practiced and improved his attack skill.... next is stamina and defense.... The NEW TH will come out at All England OPEN 2009

[abedeng]

Wang Lin 15-5 up. One way street from here on.

[tehsham]

14-5 is not easy catching up in the rubber esp AG had to play from qualifying round in this two tournament

[abedeng]

One of the hottest matches coming up, Gade vs Chen Jin.

[nicolas33]

is there any telecast at RTM1 for tmrow match?

[abedeng]

Wang Lin and CS/ZY get comfortable, 18-7 and 9-1 respectively.

[tehsham]

Wang Lin shud able to avoid the upset with 18-7

[abedeng]

12 matchpoints for Wang Lin, converted easily.

[tehsham]

Wang Lin make it 21-8 in the rubber

[abedeng]

These CHN girls must learn not to step off the gas, lead reduced to 5, 10-5.

[abedeng]

Creditable performance from Ai Goto, but then again, victory for Wang Lin was never in doubt.

[etudiant]

congratz for Taufik....what a relief.......we need good news from ina senior after disapponting outcome from ina jr in pune......^__^

[abedeng]

Wang Yihan and Tine Rasmussen on court now. Another hot favourite for PAWers.

[abedeng]

Gade takes initiative, 2-1

[abedeng]

CS/ZY are making me very angry, now their opponents only 1 pt behind, 10-11.

[leonardklh]

come on cheng shu and zhao yun lei... jia you china...

[abedeng]

Gade pushes forth, 3-1 as Kellogg/Ruskikh take the lead 12-11

[abedeng]

Amazing 7 straight pts from ENG/RUS girls.

Tells me CS/ZY are not finished products yet.

[abedeng]

Gade going great guns, 6-2 now!!!

[abedeng]

CJ mounts counteroffensive, 4-6

[badadum]

Congrats Taufik...good luck with (probably) world #1 tomorrow :)

Cmon PG!!!!

[abedeng]

Gade responds, 7-4 as CS/ZY get stuck at 13-13

[abedeng]

Now 8-4 for Gade as Wang Yihan draw 1st blood in her match, 1-0

[abedeng]

Yup, the police code 10-4 comes into play for Gade ......

[Morten]

Gade seems to be in a great form lately. Maybe he can revive his great results from the past in the autum of his career

[abedeng]

Gade takes a breather with 7 pts to spare.

CS/ZY in a bit of a spot, 14-15 down.

[abedeng]

Tine quickly retakes control 5-3

[abedeng]

Gade plodding on 12-6.

[xlasher]

In MS, Will we see two recent finals..... MAcao Open and Denmark Open ????

TH VS LCW.... and Denmark Open ???? PG VS KJ....

Hopefully I can see two veterans in the FInal TH vs PG....

[abedeng]

CS/ZY prepare to give me more PAW, 18-16

[abedeng]

Tine still maintains her lead, 7-5

[abedeng]

Gade's 7 pt advantage restored, 14-7

[abedeng]

8 more PAW pts go my way, 21-17 victory for CS/ZY and an all CHN semis is on the cards at the top half of the draw.

[abedeng]

CJ giving up the 1st game, 8-17 down.

[abedeng]

Wang Yihan trying hard, 8-9 down.

[abedeng]

Wang Yihan overtakes Tine to reach the break 11-9 up.

[abedeng]

Gade almost there, 19-9.

[abedeng]

Tine Rasmussen gets 2 quick pts after the break, 11-11

[abedeng]

Gade closes the 1st game 21-10.

[leonardklh]

come on gade...

[abedeng]

Tine reestablishes her lead, 14-12.

Cut short by Wang Yihan, 13-14

[abedeng]

Chen Jin picks the 1st couple of pts, 2-0

[abedeng]

Tine push ahead 16-13, before WYH retake serve 14-16

[leonardklh]

why so quiet dy? everybody sleep dy?

[abedeng]

Gade counters, 3-2

[abedeng]

WYH levels 16-16 but the next pt goes Tine's way, 17-16

[abedeng]

The critical moment arrives as Tine retakes initiative, 19-17

[abedeng]

Gade stuck with CJ, 4-4

[abedeng]

Tine has 3 gamepoints.

[abedeng]

Tine wins 21-18. A lot of "others" pts for both players, 18 for Tine, 16 for WYH

[leonardklh]

wang 18-21 tine... gade 7-5 jin

[abedeng]

Gade finding difficulty to shake CJ, 7-7

[abedeng]

Olympic and World MD Champs on court against MAS fuzzy pair.

[leonardklh]

[abedeng]

Points move slowly as WYH leads Tine 4-3

[abedeng]

Gade 12-9, WYH 5-4

[abedeng]

Will there be another double quick victory by the World and Olympic Champs? Will the Fuzzy pair be undone by their fuzzy nature? We shall see .....

[leonardklh]

after fuzzy pair match, going to sleep dy... tired!!!

[abedeng]

MD match starts and 5 pts are registered in the 1st minute, 3-2 Kido/Setiawan

[leonardklh]

[Noridayu]

Mas closes gap 2-3 now.

[abedeng]

Gade extends his lead to 15-11, but WYH still cannot pass Tine, 7-9 down

[Noridayu]

Mas closes gap 4-5 now.

[Morten]

CJ seems to be making a comeback

[abedeng]

Tine extends her lead 11-7, I don't think WYH has a ghost of a chance coming back.

[Noridayu]

Mas level it to 7 all now.

[abedeng]

Fairuz/Zakry 8-8. Damn fast scoreline.

[Noridayu]

[abedeng]

Tine should take this easily but she should not falter like last week. 14-9

[leonardklh]

Gade has 5 matchpoints, easily converted.

[Noridayu]

[abedeng]

Fairuz/Zakry doing pretty well, 14-10.

[robin7]

TR 21-18 16-10...

[abedeng]

Suddenly quite a lot of sleepy folks join the forum .... hmmm. Maybe I should take a break.

[Morten]

Nice win for Gade. He hasnt been able to defeat Chen Jin in almost 3 years and now defeat him twice in a week.

[Noridayu]
