[badylife]

What a statement :eek: One question though...who the heck is Deng Yuting/Tan Jinghua :o:rolleyes::cool: ???

The statement will be valid ONLY if the MAS pair is able to beat pairs like Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei or Du Jing/Yu Yang.

hmm i think wpt/ceh is better than CS/ZYL.just that in japan open mas pair make 2 much errors and that cost them the title. in terms of techinical n skills, i think still mas pair is better n dont forget they almost beat DU/Yu. hmm this chn pair that they beat today is still new and still not the top standard. so they are expected to win anyway but still have to be carefull of any chn pairs. hope they win 2moro which i believe they will :cool:

[waile]

wow, look at julia wong 2nd set stats....:eek: :eek:
most of her points are from others:eek:
wonder what she playing in d 2nd set:rolleyes:

i hope it was badminton:D

[george@chongwei]

camon choo choo:p

[waile]

ok.... both WS players are playing a tad better now...

[waile]

just like that.... WMC falls behind again... hard for her to defend her title la...

[bradja23]

8-1 for Julia.
What happens ?

[waile]

something is wrong with TR... either that or Julia is playing superbly atm...

[badMania]

As expected, Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya stroll to the QF and will face a massive test against Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun tomorrow. Strangely though, despite Kido/Hendra regularly beating Fu/Cai, there's no other INA pair who can beat the CHN pair in recent 2 years :cool:

[bradja23]

10-3 for Julia... surprising

[markchan]

Julia's on fire !!! Camon Julia !! 10 - 3 !!

Try playing with a bad injury before you criticize her too much.

[waile]

hmm... i hope she can revive her career...

[Misty100]

Try playing with a bad injury before you criticize her too much.

FYI, she is nursing injuries on both knees.

[robin7]

Arvind Bhat might lose this match.

[badylife]

wmc no need to be embarassed cos she is still nursing a knee injury.gd job by julia

[yyclub]

WCH in court again! He must be super fit. What kind of training he has been on recently?

[badMania]

Amazingly, another unknown CHN MD pair Chen Zhiben/Tao Jiaming force Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen to rubber-set.

[badMania]

Chan Chong Ming/Chew Choon Eng are also giving a good fight to Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae. I hope the veteran MAS pair can beat the Korean :rolleyes:

[Jessica]

Wow...so many unexpected results..I am really happy that Julia upset Tine Rasmussen...She really improve a lot..For WMC,can't blame her because she was injured...Really happy for Julia Wong..

[eRa@에라]

i think if WMC injured that bad, she should not be playing for it will only dampen her hope to play in the future... anyway go go julia..

my live score is back! yay!!

[volcom]

WMC only has herself to blame.
Why would she want to play in a toruney if she has such serious injuries? Incredibly stupid decision IMO.

Tomorrow, Julia will play Wang Lin whom she has beaten before. I hope she can go all the way.

Btw, I just noticed that all 8 WS in QF are Chinese (6 CHN, 1 HKG, 1 MAS)...

It's too bad that Zhou Mi & Julia are at the same top half. Yes, CHN guarantees a place in the final by having 4 reps in the bottom half.

[limsy]

Not possible. ZM & Julia are at the same top half. Yes, CHN guarantees a place in the final by having 4 reps in the bottom half.

i think tat wmc is not injury problem,maybe got but not the real factor.u see,wmc beat julia.but wmc lose easily to zjj but julia beat tine.is tine too weak or chinese youngsters too tough.I think is the factor of olympics games.she has 5 game points but lose all.after olympics,wmc haven't reach an qf.

According to press interview & during the Astro intv with LCW, it's established that WMC's knee injury is quite serious. She said bf her knee cartillage is damaged, if needs to really heal must take long break but she cant afford for her rankings to slip down.

The mental block is 1 issue, her knee problem bothering her is another but she's still Msia no 1 WS, still playing until 2010. After that, maybe she'll retire.

Why still play in small tourney (Johor Open) when she is injured???

BAM to be blame ?

Returned home to read all your posts/reports; some so funny, some so sad. :D:crying::D:crying:

WMC's team doctor should be the best person to determine whether she should rest or play. It is better for her to slip down in her rankings than to slip down into permanent injury.

Anyway, Day 3 has resulted with some great wins by some lower ranked players.
Congratulations to them all.

Let's see if tomorrow, Day 4, Quarter-Finals Day, will bring out the brilliance of these lower ranked players again.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new user to these forums, and I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll just add what I want to say here. As my username suggests, my name is Wenbo Du. I'm a cousin of Du Pengyu (his father and my father are brothers). We're about the same age; I'm just a few months older than him. I woke up this morning and was thrilled to see that he beat Taufik Hidayat today. It's definitely the highest profile player he has beaten to date. Anyways, this looks like a fun place to discuss the wonderful world of badminton, and I hope to see my little cousin get to play in more top-level tournaments! :)

Welcome! That was indeed a special performance by Du to eliminate an in-form Taufik. All the best to him in his badminton career. You should let him know he has left quite an impression among us in BC.

Hi, Wenbo. Welcome to the forum. U can introduce yourself in the introduction sub-forum.

[limsy]

relax guys...i already pm him and give him the link of intro thread liao...hehe

[madbad]

Firstly I did not PAW the WC v JYJ match, and left 16 points on the board. Upon reflection, I'm not sure I could have lasted through the match. I'm sure I would been on the verge cardiac arrest, several times, in pursue of 16 PAW points. PAWers must have been put through the wringer as one lady then the other assumed control. And the close scoreline would have frayed the nerves even more. I'd gladly not take the 16 points and (literally) live to fight another day. :D

By picking on Wen Kai, u still have 19 pts extra... Good job...

WMC's team doctor should be the best person to determine whether she should rest or play. It is better for her to slip down in her rankings than to slip down into permanent injury.

:):):)
.

Harian Metro asked one of the ISN doctors before, he said WMC's kind of knee injury needs long term treatment. If it's really bad, they'll bench WMC, like what happened after CO 2007.

WMC went thru the "slipping in rankings" time some years earlier, when she 1st got her knee injury. She had to make a comeback from WR# 100+++ after a 8 month or so break. She's been thru it before, it was really tough for her, i guess that's why she seems adamant not to go thru again the long hard climb up the rankings.

[george@chongwei]

after all, i would say that DENMARK team did not have a good day yesterday..with JP losing to Wen Kai, PG to Malaysia Wong choong hann, and tine rasmussen losing to anoter Wong from Malaysia, Julia Wong:D
