Zulfadli Zulkiffli is already in the Qualification draw..

Kenn is currently nr. 20 on waiting list, so sadly it is unlikely that he gets into the qualifying..

Kuala Lumpur is 7 hours ahead of Stockholm. If I'm not mistaken.

That is correct!!

(9:00 here will be 2:00 KL time... So livescore/streaming probably evening sessions will be best (= morning/lunch/afternoon KL)..

/Twobeer

Yes, KL is 7 hours ahead of Stockholm...
So, if it's 9 am Stockholm time, then it's 4 pm KL time..;)

Yes it is.. But I am afraid I cannot film him today / tommorrow, as he lost in the qualification rounds :-( ..

http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=26737&draw=1

He played very well and had a stroll in the park :-) against Yauheni Yakauchuk, then he got problem with his lower leg.. Cramped.. he didn¨t recover well and was not allowed a second injury break in the game, but succeded to win 21-19 anyway..

But he had to retire in the next match against Yamada.

Twobeer

Ahh.. Not many from Today or Yesturday, But Zhang Yi will play this afternoon (He is in the Semis)..If Zhang Xi is still around (she lost to Larissa in the Quarters, so she is out of the tournament) I talk to her to see what I can do :-)

wow...a very very tough match for mas girl...
manage to win over the top seed...

nice...i paw this match...hehe

yes...i also paw this match...18pts

Btw, Twobeer, did Anita Kaur have a coach with her? SHe's not with BAM anymore, gone to further her studies in England in 2008. Wonder who's training her now.
Take some Finals photos if you going, thanks

Anita Kaur managed to prevail over Petya because she is very ill at the moment. She got a virus in Korea... In other case I think Nedelcheva wouldn't have much troubles against the Malaysian.

some QF/Semi photos..
