2008 China Open SS (Day 3, Thursday Nov-20)

Some good matches to follow could be:
(1) Peter Gade vs Wong Choong Hann
(2) Chen Jin vs Chen Hong
(3) Park Sung Hwan vs Hong Ji Hoon
(4) Arvind Bhat vs Petr Koukal
(5) Wong Mew Choo vs Zhu Jingjing
(6) Xu Huaiwen vs Wang Lin
(7) Jiang Yanjiao vs Wang Chen

In the Mens Singles, the "Match of the Day" could be between Chen Jin and Chen Hong.
I hope that Chen Hong can do what Zhou Mi has been doing recently.

Good Luck to All Players.

It appears that the internet connection from China has some problems.
On Day 2, the tournamentsoftware was found stuck quite often.
.

Which TV is showing these matches live or recorded?

any CCTVs?

Any idea when the matches are supposed to start?

Many of the stars are becoming oldies now.. :(

I wish good luck for Chen Hong, he's one of my favourite MS player!

i waited till midnite for the match overview but still nothing... anyone know when the matches start?

MEN'S SINGLES
Du Pengyu vs Taufik Hidayat [7] -- a tricky test for the lone fighter from INA...but I think he will survive to last until QF where an interesting battle against Lin Dan is looming.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [8] vs Anthony Clark/Nathan Robertson -- this could yet be one of Tony/Candra's last few games as a pair and I think they can beat the willy ENG pair and challenge Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun tomorrow.

keep an eye on this england pair..

they beat zhengbo/zie zhong bo yesterday!

I think 90% PAWed this match, so not much advantage really. But for those who didn't, could turn out to be a real killer

I think 90% PAWed this match, so not much advantage really. But for those who didn't, could turn out to be a real killer

Yeah, I'm in pain already. But hey, there's so many "unknown" Chinese left in the fray, there are other chances ......

I think 90% PAWed this match, so not much advantage really. But for those who didn't, could turn out to be a real killer

right, i missed it and are about to get a rude awakening

Actually, I'm now hoping for another of my PAWs to become win-win situations .....

But that depends on Wong Mew Choo's bad knees holding up.

Yeah, I'm in pain already. But hey, there's so many "unknown" Chinese left in the fray, there are other chances ......
who? do you mean li han or gong wei jie?:rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm in pain already. But hey, there's so many "unknown" Chinese left in the fray, there are other chances ......

Yes there are other chances, but they have to be converted. Better to have the points in the bag and exert the pressure:)

who? do you mean li han or gong wei jie?:rolleyes:

No, tomorrow we get to pick the doubles pairs .....

Yes there are other chances, but they have to be converted. Better to have the points in the bag and exert the pressure:)

Fortunately I'm never under pressure in PAW. Didn't even set any target.

Quite the opposite to my career. Extreme pressure. :D

th say no to olympic 2010.


Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia thrashed Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand 21-12, 21-14 in the first round of the Shanghai China Open this afternoon. Commenting on the match, Taufik said it was a "lucky game", adding "for me, it's not really good."
Speaking of his target in the tournament, Taoufik pointed out that he doesn't have any target and "I'm just coming for playing" due to a lack of systematic training after the French tournament.
For his future, Taufik said he wouldn't be playing at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games as well as the 2012 London Olympic Games.
He explained that "for me it's too old. In 2010, I'll be 29 or 30, no, too old."

Fortunately I'm never under pressure in PAW. Didn't even set any target.

Quite the opposite to my career. Extreme pressure. :D

Nerves of steel. That's why you're so cool during PAW :D:D

and CY/FHF checked in to the next round..by beating their teammates in two sets.

CY/FHF scraped through 21-19, 21-19. CLOSE!

Meanwhile BJS is holding her own against the heavily favoured XXF, leads 15-14

wow, the korea ws is leading xxf now..15-14

hi, is streaming online to watch the match possible? i tried on the link i found in one of the discussion topics... but didn't work. no link to open sopcast software..

anyone can help?? i can't wait to see Taufik playing against Lin Dan!!

Please help me..

Meanwhile BJS is holding her own against the heavily favoured XXF, leads 15-14

I really don't think XXF is in the mood, in the French Open she looked disinterested.

Hi, for me, I usually use UUSee to watch CCTV5 - which is showing the matches this week. If I'm not wrong, on the CCTV5 website, there's a link to watch it online too. Good luck.

CY/FHF scraped through 21-19, 21-19. CLOSE!

Typical Chinese soap opera ;)

Hehe, a suitable comment for the situation ;):D

I really don't think XXF is in the mood, in the French Open she looked disinterested.

You're quite right. Her interest is in cooking soup for LD :p

It would be interesting to see Bae Youn Joo against the CHN youngsters WYH and WL, not a bad performance at all.

I think she's a level below them. Always a bridesmaid at the World Juniors

how on earth is this happen???...byj didnt manage to win over xxf...
Cos she is no match for XXF.
