Suprised??? shud not be as she is carrying injuries...yup I am suprised they allowed her to play...she shud be resting and forget about badminton for 2008 and early 2009

[etudiant]

[madbad]

I give Saina the edge although Salakjit is very good at producing upsets

[robin7]

Yoohoo... So far, all the big pointers lost WYH (13), Rosaria (14) and JSY (15).

[aulia]

saina should take it in 2 sets;)
but salakjit ponsana is unpredictable her form.

Sania c'mon........

[aulia]

Haiz, Wang Chen took the 1st set....


Yes, WC took the 1st game 21-19...

Funny here... same topic, different feeling..:D

[Yojimbo]

I like WL!! Come on WL!!

[aulia]

Double Wang seems like wanna make DNA Fold...hehe...7-7

[george@chongwei]

[aulia]

9-12....come on Firda... dont let Pia alone there... accompany her to 2nd, hehe...:):)

[madbad]

Ding dong battle continues. WC 11-10 WL at the break

[robin7]

WC leads 11-10 in the 2nd game...

[madbad]

Salakjit running out of points. Saina 20-16

[Yong_Hui]

c'mon WC
c'mon Firda

[madbad]

ZM have her hands full with Firda. Maybe fatigue from CHN SS. ZM 14-12 Firda

[aulia]

11-13... so far, look good, Firda has same smash winners , even more net winners that Zhou Mi, she needs to reduce unforced errors then...

[eRa@에라]

come on salakjit!!!

[madbad]

Salakjit's fight back falls just short. Saina wins 21-19

[aulia]

Uffh... Salakjit save 3 game points but couldnt do it for the last one... 19-21

[aulia]

Firda chasing 14-17....... patient girl...

[madbad]

Lin and Chen trying to out-Wang each other. L leads C 13-12

[robin7]

Funny here... same topic, different feeling..:D
Someone PAW-ed on WC initially but later replaced by Rosaria or Jang. :p

[abedeng]

C'mon Wang Lin, don't fail my PAW ........

[Yong_Hui]

so far good for firda!!!!
unforced error need to be reduce...
mentality need to be increased as well as concentration

[abedeng]

Firda fails to land the 1st game, but maybe she has a chance the longer the game unfolds.

[K14N2]

Wang Lin, come on lah...

[abedeng]

Wang Lin is giving my PAW trouble .....

[abedeng]

Wang Chen destroys my PAW convincingly ......

[Louisa]

Oh oh, my ambulance is too late :D
nope...i m using jet fighter...:p

[robin7]

C'mon Wang Lin, don't fail my PAW ........
Wang Lin is no more guarantee as far as PAW is concerned.

[Yojimbo]

Siblings on court...Can both of them win?

[madbad]

Wang Lin is no more guarantee as far as PAW is concerned.

She's never been. She's quite a streaky player. She has to become more consistent.

[Yong_Hui]

luckily i delete my paw on wang lin
hehehe

[madbad]

Firda proving she can hang with ZM 12-12

[abedeng]

Firda makes her move, let's see if she can make it stick .... 13-12

[abedeng]

Salakjit sticking on Saina's back like a leech, but eventually Saina breaks away to take the match, 22-20.

[robin7]

She's never been. She's quite a streaky player. She has to become more consistent.
She has not been performing well since breaking into the top 10.

[Yong_Hui]

good performance so far by firda...
ZM can hang by her...

[madbad]

Saina squeezes it out... just 21-19, 22-20. Unlucky Salakjit

[K14N2]

Firda, win it!!! win it!!!

[K14N2]

deuce, deuce, deuce!!!!!!!

[Yong_Hui]

yes, my choice to PAW on Sania rewarded.....

[madbad]

Firda put up a spirited display but ZM would never let herself lose so early in her home tournament. ZM 21-17, 21-19

[Yong_Hui]

c'mon firda make it rubber!!!!

[fd16n]

Firda lost but great fight anyway

[nunu27]

finally FIrda lost... but really good performance from her.
the unlucky thing is. she always face top seeded player at 1st round.. pity for her...:(

[Yong_Hui]

nvm good performanced by firda ...

[carine]

wat happen to LCW match ar?

[Yong_Hui]

finally FIrda lost... but really good performance from her.
the unlucky thing is. she always face top seeded player at 1st round.. pity for her...:(

i agree..
then she needs to go for GP or Gold GP tourney next year to increase her rank..... as well as her mentality....

[eRa@에라]

chong wei quit?! why ?????

[Yong_Hui]

why dato no match???
does he withdraw???

[Yojimbo]

Gooo Boonsak..!! Go CJ!!

[fd16n]

Apparently something wrong with LCW vs MZ they just get skip or......???

[george@chongwei]

[crescence]

Can't believe LCW not playing...

[Yojimbo]

wat the hell!!
looks like lee chong wei conceded a walkover!!!!
Relax George...he withdrew is it? Actually, it's good for him..He wasn't supposed to play in the previous SS.He needs to rest la..:)

[Yong_Hui]

c'mon Ng Wei....

[abedeng]

LCW needs more training for Super Series Finals, I suppose.

[fd16n]

Looks like JP will gonna lose again

[seethoe]

lcw gave a walkover.... marc must be counting his stars....

[abedeng]

Why is Persson playing so badly against Bhat?

[Yojimbo]

Why is Persson playing so badly against Bhat?
Maybe Bhat is playing better? :p

[george@chongwei]

yup , it had been confirmed..
lee chong wei is in hong kong but he withdrew.

[badMania]

livescore sucks...
MD watch point keep on changing
from 6-6 to 0-0
umpire restart the match?

The umpire faced some problems in updating the scores at 4-6 in the first set, leading to some delay just now.

[robin7]

Marc ZWIEBLER http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/GER.gif - http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/MAS.gif Chong Wei LEE [1] : No match

Haiya...

[badMania]

It was an unconvincing performance by the Olympics and World Champions Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, who must rely on every bit of experience (and luck too) in beating Hong Chieng Hun/Ng Kean Kok in three tight sets 18-21, 21-17, 21-18.

The MAS pair was performing well, if not for the many service errors that both players made (esp Ng Kean Kok), they might have won the game just now :o One thing for sure, they were not easy to be killed...and this frustrated the INA pair. Things were still tight until it was about 16-16 to the INA pair in the rubber-set. I saw Ng Kean Kok breathing so heavily at that time and that was probably a sign of exhaustion. True enough, the INA pair raced to a 19-16 lead immediately and eventually allowed 2 more pts for the MAS pair.
