both players knows each other game very well for sure..

but the most importantly is, there's a malaysian pair in the final.:)


Chen WANG (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=25607&player=72)http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/HKG.gif[HKG] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=25607&c=HKG)-http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/HKG.gif[HKG] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=25607&c=HKG)Mi ZHOU [2] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=25607&player=66)

1st session-1pm
2nd session-6.30 pm

fyi..:)

[ctjcad]

..BC will be quite full tonight/later today for the scheduled TH vs. LD clash...And yes, both players know what's at stake & i feel both players will definitely give it their best!!..:cool:

[Jagdpanther]

Good luck, TH. You'll need it. Once again, good luck.
Seriously, that's all I can say for him. :p

[dassad]

oh what about this times.. what is this 1 00 and 6 30 PM? I see its 5 30 am right now at Hong kong?

[abedeng]

Afternoon Session:

Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting over Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui - a very close match to call. Odds favour the Chinese on account of their current momentum, but I am very happy with MAS girls' consistency as they take up position as the best non-CHN pair from the Olympic Silver Medallist of Korea.

Chen Jin over Boonsak Ponsana - also another close match, but I will tip it in Chen Jin's favour, given that Boonsak's killer instinct is lacking in his previous matches.

Xie Xingfang over Zhu Lin - could go the other way based on CHN teams "legendary" acting skills.

Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung over Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter Juhl - Top Korean pair show their vanquished teammates how to whack the Danes silly ...... :D

Koo Kien Kiat/Tan Boon Heong over Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abd Latif - kind of a formality really. Koo and Tan to progress.

Evening Session:

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen over Zheng Bo/Ma Jin - the best pair not to qualify for the Olympics go alll out to to prove another point.

Wang Chen over Zhou Mi - Battle between ex-CHN and now HK teammates, Zhou Mi may just defer this one to her more senior colleague.

Lin Dan over Taufik Hidayat - match of the night, and we hope to see a game of the same calibre as Taufik vs Gade at the French Open Final (which cost me the PAW title ..... :crying:)

Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei over Ha Eun Jung/Kim Min Jung - CHN's new upcoming pair started off well but lacks variation. Korean new top pair may just expose them tactically.

Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae over Nathan Robertson/Anthony Clark - after the labour last night, one wonders if the ENG pair has the legs to take hard punishment from their opponents .......

[yyclub]

I wish Boonsak and Taufik win, Boonsak should has slight higher chance. Logically HK MS winner should be LD.
MD will be Korea vs Malaysia.

[cooler]

hmm, i guess its time for me to create this thread already..
.:) didnt u created the day 5 thread too:p

[pauline]

Hmm..wonder will TH has something up his sleeve today...
Good luck CEH/WPT. Fight for the final ticket!

[abedeng]

The good thing coming from this semis lineup is that tomorrow's finals will be international affairs for at least 3 of the 5 disciplines. And the other 2 disciplines could be international affairs too, depending on whether Boonsak/Taufik and the Malaysian/Korean women fare.

[badadum]

Hmm..wonder will TH has something up his sleeve today...
Good luck CEH/WPT. Fight for the final ticket!

Simple, go all out in 1st set and proceed from there. :)

[george@chongwei]

hmm, i wonder where can i watch the evening session live?..i checked the astro website they didnt broadcast it...

[george@chongwei]

[aulia]

7-16.... ah... hard to Mas pair...

[cooler]

second set likely less than 13 point for MAL WD

yup

21-13, 21-9

[robin7]

Too many shuttles are sent long or wide. It's all over for the Malaysian gals.

[eaglehelang]

WPT/CEH lost easily. Hmmm, is this CEH injured again? Or both of them ran out of gas after the string of tourneys after OG, stamina is not their best quality.

[nicolas33]

stupid Hongkong, how come they seperated semi final into 2 sessions. Taufik vs Lin Dan will play after 6.30 and will not broadcast by TV. Do u know any live stream from internet for that match? Thank uuuuuu...

[singhzico]

Too many shuttles are sent long or wide. It's all over for the Malaysian gals.

It is Malaysia (MAS) NOT Malawi (MAL).

[chlsy8]

..live TV broadcast only available in M'sia or S'pore...;)
..no webstream, yet..

[robin7]

Wong/Chin are fine but much affected by the drift in the stadium that seemed the shuttle sent long or wide many times. The Chinese duo played more aggressively while the Malaysian gals looked disinterested and mentally fatigue.

[singhzico]

..do you guys know, tonight could be the last time we'll see LinDan...............or Taufik in a pro competition for the rest of this yr??..http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/42.gif;)

[abedeng]

CJ moves to the lead quite early. Now Boonsak is playing catchup.

[eaglehelang]

It is Malaysia (MAS) NOT Malawi (MAL).

Relax bang Robin7 :D. I use Msia as shortform as MAS is acronym for our Malaysian Airlines. Msia is also more commonly used among layman, hehe

[chlsy8]

thanks CTJCAD.

this is terrible that they don't have live tv online... sigh

[robin7]

But for now, us PAWers have the upper hand ...... kakaka
I thought I forgot to PAW on ZYW/ZTT but I actually did.

I'm glad to have won 13 pts but sad because MAS WD lost.

Meanwhile 9-8 for Boonsak.

[robin7]

Come on Boonsak, save my PAW...

[aZn_Popcorn]

in 8 minutes they will have live internet streaming on GDsports (Sopcast)

[ctjcad]

unfortunately i will be sleeping at 6:30 pm HK time

thanks CTJCAD.

..bummer, too, they have to delay the broadcast..:(

Relax bang Robin7 :D. I use Msia as shortform as MAS is acronym for our Malaysian Airlines. Msia is also more commonly used among layman, hehe
O.T.-In my case, i usually type M'sia (with the added apostrophe)..;)

in 8 minutes they will have live internet streaming on GDsports (Sopcast)
..won't you be asleep, as well, by the time TH vs. LD's match comes up??..:confused:;)

[abedeng]

Ah, Boonsak is creating some excitement for big PAWers ......

This is good, for tomorrow's final if he wins it.

[robin7]

13-12 to Boonsak. CJ needs to do something special to beat Boonsak.

[robin7]

It is a well-matched game, Boonsak just has to cut down his errors to win this match...

CJ 15-13...

[chlsy8]

GDTV has it now guys!

[aulia]

CJ 17-14......... hmmm....

[cooler]

game 1 goes to CJ, 20-15 now

yup, 21-15

[abedeng]

Hmm, I don't see anyone PAWing for Boonsak among the transparent PAWers .....

No wonder Boonsak suddenly dropped off the pace .....

[robin7]

Too many errors from Boonsak. 1st game to CJ 21-15.

[robin7]

CJ upped his pace, 2-1...

[ctjcad]

GDTV has it now guys!
...just in time for all the BCers who went for a Friday night outing to come back..:cool:

[robin7]

CJ played a more attacking 2nd game, 11-4 up...

[ctjcad]

GDTV has it now guys!
..is golf!!!!!....:eek:...may i ask what program are you using??..:confused:

[chlsy8]

UUSEE the only one I can find GDTV

[ctjcad]

..that program doesn't come with the viruses/spywares attached with it!!..:eek::(

Meanwhile, our MAS fans are too engrossed with watching the match(es) on their tubes...:p

[robin7]

A kill by Boonsak but what a return by CJ, 14-10...

[eRa@에라]

anyone? can i use the final projection list to add paws for trow? sadly i have to leave home and only be back late tomorrow... help pls...:D

[cooler]

long rally at 18-14

18-15

CJ step up the pace, finishing it at 21-16

[aZn_Popcorn]

anyone? can i use the final projection list to add paws for trow? sadly i have to leave home and only be back late tomorrow... help pls...:D

Yup, sure can. That's what it is there for.

[aZn_Popcorn]

CJ defeats Boonsak 21-15 21-16

[ngu87]

any online streaming for hong kong open? GDTV is offline

[samuel882]

Despite the scoreline, CJ was never having an easy games vs BP from the begining. Lota Classic trick shots from BP really thrilled the crowds.
CJ, well known for his attacking capabilities, has to depend heavily on his defense to prevail. A great match.

[jasonmarc]

WPT/CEH lost easily. Hmmm, is this CEH injured again? Or both of them ran out of gas after the string of tourneys after OG, stamina is not their best quality.

Another up-set result in ur list........eagle....;)

[jasonmarc]

So quiet.......today SF.......where is everybody.......

[ctjcad]

..abandon ship....All MAS BCers are probably sitting in front of their tubes watching..;)

[robin7]

I think XXF can still beat ZL even XXF plays @ 70% atm.

[aulia]

So quiet.......today SF.......where is everybody.......

No Ina players....:D:D:D:D

[chlsy8]

GDTV from UUSEE still working

Woohoo...FINALLY!

[aulia]

ya...ya...TH versus LD... hmm... plz hire movie director to direct this match, make it more interesting...hak hak...just kidding...:D:D

all the best for TH

btw, how is ZL vx XXF? my livescore isnt working...:(

[ctjcad]

..seems like Zhu Lin is playing relaxed, not moving much, almost like letting XXF dictate the game while playing defensive & executing more backhand shots (drop, clear)...either that, or she's out of gas..

[CLELY]

Easy match for Xie Xingfang to beat her compatriot Zhu Lin, 21-13 ; 21-9.

[madbad]

Yeah, XXF wipes out ZL with ease. Thanks LYB ;)

[madbad]

..seems like Zhu Lin is playing relaxed, not moving much, almost like letting XXF dictate the game while playing defensive & executing more backhand shots (drop, clear)...either that, or she's out of gas..

errr... LYB factor :rolleyes:;):D

[extremenanopowe]

Interesting to see Taufik vs Lindan match. Lindan looks invincible now.;)

[aulia]

well... she will face WC or ZM if she wins... why no motivation...?? hehe...

[phaarix]

Wow what happened to Zhu Lin :S. Was 8-8 then 21-9??

[ctjcad]

Easy match for Xie Xingfang to beat her compatriot Zhu Lin, 21-13 ; 21-9.

errr... LYB factor :rolleyes:;):D
..as if she has to go on a hot date with Ng Wei....http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/1.gif

[abedeng]

Easy match for Xie Xingfang to beat her compatriot Zhu Lin, 21-13 ; 21-9.

Easy PAW pts too.

[phaarix]

errr... LYB factor :rolleyes:;):D

I hope not :(. It better not happen if it's LD and CJ in the finals tomorrow. But then seeing as there's no Olympics to worry about, maybe they'll be able to finally have a proper match :).

[madbad]

I hope not :(. It better not happen if it's LD and CJ in the finals tomorrow. But then seeing as there's no Olympics to worry about, maybe they'll be able to finally have a proper match :).

Doesn't matter, seniority takes priority. Do some research on team CHN policy

[madbad]

Easy PAW pts too.

Yes, thank you ;):D

[aulia]

Now...XD... still quiet?? hehe...

*im in my class waiting my lecturer comes...:):)

[ctjcad]

..next match looks interesting...Sundae Lee and his lovely partner vs. the tricky Danes..

[aulia]

updating score plz.... somebodya.... thanks in advance...:)

[ctjcad]

..i don't like the TV camera angle...it's almost as if the camera is about to fall off the stand..and seems like someone or something is hogging/hindering the center part/area of the stand for the TV camera..either that or they didn't set-up the TV/center court properly for the TV camera location..:p

[ctjcad]

DEN 8-6 (1st game)..

Danes mount a mini comeback but KOR extend the lead to 16-12

[madbad]

KOR can see the finish line 19-14

[ctjcad]

ctjcad, how is the match? good to see or just like 'service over' game....
..normal match lah; no racket or chair throwing incident...DEN were in control early but KOR took control halfway..Ooh, LYD doing his specialty for the winning game point by playing the fore-court and pressuring Thomas to make a long lift..KOR win 1st game..

[ctjcad]

..KOR pair faced a bit of resistance in the 2nd game, halfway, but finished off the Danes..Danes made a bit more errors, overall..

Upcoming is the MD match between the 2 MAS pairs before we head into a long intermission...:(

KKK & TBH dressed in all black attires...MAL & MMT in yellow tops & black shorts...

KKK & TBH 1-0 (1st game)

*tournamentsoftware is indicating they're already in the 2nd game*

[CLELY]

LYD/LHJ defeat the Danish pair 21-16 21-16 and move on to the finals

And the Olympic Champ has bright prospect to win back-to-back SS title.

[CLELY]

KKK/TBH take first game with big margin, 21-12 in 8 minutes.

[robin7]

Fuzzy were dreaming in the 1st game, losing 12-21...

[robin7]

It's now Koo/Tan's turn dreaming in the 2nd game, 5-11 down...

[madbad]

The yoyo effect seems to have affected both pairs. Fuzzy 16-8

[cooler]

madbad, i miss XXF:(;)

[ctjcad]

MAL & MMT are running away in the 2nd game and are forcing a deciding rubber game..

[cooler]

MAL & MMT are running away in the 2nd game and are forcing a deciding rubber game..
i've said before, kkk/tbh usually have a flying start,then yoyo from there

[wesoon77]

I think this MAS MD game really show how inconsistent the MAS doubles are.

[jasonmarc]

The decider ....... seems like kkk/tbh still dreaming.....they always lost to their team mates.....

[jasonmarc]

kkk/tbh can only wins...when their opponents are injured....still dreaming.....haiz....

[jasonmarc]

i've said before, kkk/tbh usually have a flying start,then yoyo from there

Yes, thats true.....we already have a yoyo king in MS..:o:o....and now they are working hard to become one in MD department.......:D:D

[cooler]

kkk/tbh can only wins...when their opponents are injured....still dreaming.....haiz....

yoyo

[jasonmarc]

16 - 16 will they take the lead for the first timein decider......? No....16 - 17 now....haiz

A close match at decider game, KKK/TBH lost to Fairuz/Zakry, 21-12 ; 13-21 ; 20-22.

[z_jun]

Fuzzy won it...will it reduce MAS chances in the final? It didn't look as if KKK/TBH wanted to win it at all...maybe they're tired of playing in the finals?

it was more or less an evenly fought match i'd say

[Silencer]

well, i saw some superb defence from Tan.. but he doesnt look happy,
why they never talk abit..

[phaarix]

Koo & Tan used to be so enthusiastic. Maybe it's cause Rexy was so strict with them? :S

[ngu87]

true .tbh looks discontented and unhappy.no communication between tbh and kkk.

[robin7]

The MD match looked like a training session in the 1st 2 games and both pairs got a bit warmed up in the rubber. It was disappointing and embarrassing. Neither pair deserved a place in the finals at all...

[z_jun]

true .tbh looks discontented and unhappy.no communication between tbh and kkk.

yea...do they have problems between them? Is that y they have not been performing well? Where's their spirit that won them the Doha Asian Games title? Where's the high fives...of course in this match maybe it's cos they're facing their own teammates that's y the subdue attitude but I've noticed it in their other matches too...:(

[george@chongwei]

koo/tan lost and there goes my paw:crying::crying::mad::rolleyes:
actually they can win the game in 2 straight sets..
many errors made by tbh today..
i wonder what happen to him today?:rolleyes:
like no mood to play badminton.

[conan93]

wat happened to koo/tan?
they dont seem to hav the mood to play today

[cooler]

[eaglehelang]

Errr, why the surprise ah? I expected them to lose to Fuzzy pair, after they struggled with the England pair in round 2. Kido was injured, hence made it easier for KKK/TBH to win the QF.
Communication wise, it's been like that for some time, not a surprise.

[eaglehelang]

i thot their differences have been resolved....that's why rexy didn't split them

I think what z-jun meant is no more high fives, patting on the back or talking to each other on court. Hehe, they didnt know, it's already that way for some time, doesnt mean KKK/TBH at odds with each other though.:D;)

Btw, isnt it late/early hours of the morning for you? :p

[taufik-ist]

wat happened to koo/tan?
they dont seem to hav the mood to play today

they might have already felt as the champion of HK 08 after beating the OG 08 champion, MK/HS in QF

erm, u go download the match and watch it if got ppl upload:p;)
totally sickening play by tbh in my opinion..
he doenst looks happy at all throughout the whole match.

[phaarix]

It's a real shame, I think it's the main reason for their bad performances... But why are they like that?

[nicolas33]

second session of semi finals are about to begin. is there any live stream?

[z_jun]

erm, u go download the match and watch it if got ppl upload:p;)
totally sickening play by tbh in my opinion..

yup sickening is the right word...he made so many errors..didn't seem like he has the heart to play at all...kkk was trying to save the game towards the end of the rubber...beautiful net play...he's truly the master at the net...though he was the one who lost the game in the end...maybe tbh has some personal problems??

[jasonmarc]

[dassad]

[abesadi]

Huks-huks.. Taufik, ayo berjuang!

[nunu27]

17-19 for LD..... go TH

[nunu27]

good performance from TH.. he can get 17 points at 1st set...:)

[dassad]

a first game for LD but very hard middle of the set as I could see.
still, no link of online stream for me..

[badcliq]

Hopefully he won't run out of gas in the 2nd

[nunu27]

3-1 for TH now..........

[otaclub]

gdtv HAS IT...GO watch!

[z_jun]

a first game for LD but very hard middle of the set as I could see.
still, no link of online stream for me..

sopcast gdtv...but mine keeps hanging...:crying:

[jasonmarc]

sopcast gdtv...but mine keeps hanging...:crying:

Common TH........:D

[dassad]

11 7 for TH
situation is repeating

[nunu27]

just like 1st set...

[jasonmarc]

Live score also hanging.........suck!

[jasonmarc]

Oh no......Th 14 - 16 LD....

[dassad]

and again 17 14 for LD
seems he starts set easy every time

[jasonmarc]

Amazing.....8 points in a row...for LD.....from 8 - 13 to 16 - 13 Wow!

[yen_saw]

The 2nd set does look eerily similar to the first. TH leading but running out of gas towards the end.

[z_jun]

LD wins it...seems like he's really in a class of his own...he makes winning look so easy...

[alfa-2]

LD is still too good for anyone........haizzzz...

[dassad]

KILLING finishes of the sets from LD. from 10 12 to 20 16 in the first and from 11 7 to 14 20 (!!) in the second

I think TH had been getting tired at the end of the set ..

[volcom]

Super Dan yet again prevails :)

[wesoon77]

Super Dan has a very good gearbox. It seems he can control his tempo with unlimited degrees of freedom.

[cooler]

told ya:D:D
LD was generous today, he let TH lead most of way for both sets.

[yen_saw]

For many who stilll believing in TH, the miracle didn't happen unfortunately. Bye TH.....

[phaarix]

It's the way Lin Dan always plays. Never be fooled if he's behind early on. Wait until after the interval!

[FuWang]

YEAH..... LD SO COOL..... 2moro LD will meet CJ.... Seems LD will win again..... together with XXF...... ^_*

[volcom]

told ya:D:D
LD was generous today, he let TH lead most of way for both sets.
Indeed, what a brilliant gesture from him :D:D

[abedeng]

C'mon Korean girls!!! Destroy my last PAW if you have too .... but make tomorrow's final.

[abedeng]

Looks like my last PAW is safe ....

[dassad]

It's the way Lin Dan always plays. Never be fooled if he's behind early on. Wait until after the interval!

ah really? is he checking the opponent's shape?

[matthewteng]

Just saw the scores on tournament software. Unfortunately Lin Dan beat Taufik (I was hoping Taufik would win).

It's good to see Taufik getting past the early elimination rounds at torunaments. Perhaps he can find some consistency and then go and win more games.

Also good to see the Koreans playing in more tournaments now.They have been quiet compared to the Malaysians and Chinese.

[volcom]

The Koreans are getting owned

[volcom]

21-14 and 21-13, next please :D:D

[aulia]

hmm... just like expected... TH lost...hikz...

but still, proud of him. and congratz Lin Dan. :)

[jack200603]

Lin Dan's era is coming now
