Korea Open 2009: Day 6 (Finals) Sunday January 18

For Day 6 (Finals Day), in each of the 5 disciplines, we find that players/pairs seeded lower than 4 have all been eliminated. We should now expect all the 5 final matches to be interesting.

Will Lee Chong Wei win his first SS tournament outside Malaysia since he became World No.1?
One of Chong Wei's biggest fans at BC, Noridayu, would sure hope so. http://cinta.kaskusradio.com/bigemot/smiley/peace.gif (http://www.xtremenitro.org/)
.

all the best to chong wei tomorrow!:)
hope he eats more satay to become more aggresive and fitter in the cold windy korea;):D:D:D
PG might be dangerous to him too because PG does not need to play today after SS withdrawal..maybe he have extra energy;)
anyway, i expect this match will be an exciting 1..
let the match begin!:p

Good Luck to all finalists.

PG might be dangerous to him (LCW) too because PG does not need to play today after SS withdrawal..maybe he have extra energy. ;)



.
There is news that PG has been drinking Korean ginseng since he arrived at Korea. ;)
.

grab the title, Lee Chong Wei..So sad no INDONESIA player in the final.

Indeed, it is sad. :crying::crying::crying:

I can't even remember when was the last time that INA did not have a finalist in an Open tournament. It must have been many, many years ago? :confused: Some BCers might be able to help answer this question.

Btw, will LCW perform a hat-trick against Peter Gade, in the Finals (and vice-versa)??..;)

Some of you BCers have fantastic memories. :):):)

the posible upset is...xd and ms...hmm...so glad tat thailand also performing well...hehe...:D...

ms...sigh...hope lcw play with his 100%...pg is really dangerous...:(

anyhow...ina sure better than mas in term of no player in final...ina maybe just have 2 tournament without their player in final...but...mas have plenty of it...sigh...

INA rely on SDK, MK/HS & NW/LN (or maybe LN/VM).
MAS just rely on LCW. WPT/CEH &KKK/TBH are still inconsistent. same like SDK..

ya...u are correct...well...i believe tat mas will improve more and more...:)

Because for going to HK open 2008, Indonesia players fund themself.. But sad, they going home empty handed.

I think at their fitness level, playing or resting an extra day does not make a different. LCW wasn't really push to half his capacity in the semis. Either Peter polish up his strategy and beat Chong Wei or Chong Wei did his homework and neutralize his gameplan.

A little something out of topic. Limsy, I saw that you took many picture with the players during MO. I been to both 08 and 09 MO plus 07 WC but never saw any of those opportunity. How you do it?

Chong Wei should win the match, if he doesnt think easy against Peter.
Chong Wei is slightly faster than Peter... but hope both of them perform good match today :-)

I hope Pi Hongyan wins the title....and I hope a thrilling match between LCW and PG; they're both some of my favourite players and it'd be awesome for either to win.

GO PETER GADE GO!, FROM CANADA. YA!
i hope Gade wins, he works really hard to stay in the top ranks. not saying that he deserves to win, but it would be nice to see his hard work pay off.

btw, do they have those BWF or IBF player of the year awards?

INA rely on SDK, MK/HS & NW/LN (or maybe LN/VM).

Indonesia has at least three high standard men single players whereas Malaysia has only one.

Indonesia has at least two world class mixed double players wheras Malaysia has none. A situation which is frustrating for so many years for Malaysian fans.

This sums up the stories why Indonesia has more players in final.

Its true,...U havent mention about INA's WD, 2 pairs...WS, MKY and thier MDs..............at least 3 strong pairs........;)

Wow...this finals.......Kor has three slots........but only involved 4 players.......still heavily depends on LYD and LHJ............to wins 3 out of 3.......

PG is really determined to get this one ............ and have a day rest yesterday......LCW better play his 100%.........PG is as dangerous as a wounded tiger.....here in KO 09....

i think gade is going to win..

On paper KOR has big chance to grab 3 titles at their home SS, let's see...

Yeah. I agree despite Taiwan's women's double pair is ranked as No.1 seed in the tournament.

much worry about live from guangdong sports and btv6 as none of chn players left
perhaps they will just air 1 or 2 or 3 or so, but not all i guess
otoh, there are korean wd & md players to feature on last 2 matches
it's good to have sbs sports to rely...till last
details of web live from SBS Sports HERE

..absolutely, chance to win 3 out of 3 and 3 out of 5!:cool: Good luck!!

Crowd chanting "Daehan minguk>clap3X> Daehan minguk!!Guk, guk, guk, guk, guk!!"...LHJ & LYD in the same orange tops and white bottoms...THA pair in their all-black attire..THA to serve, loooooove all...

Go Thailand !

But the Wonder Kids LYD is on Fire !!!

http://cinta.kaskusradio.com/bigpaopaobing/smiley/elite_machine_gun.gif (http://www.xtremenitro.org)

what a rally and Yong Dae finishes it off with a forecourt kill off a loose return..KOR ahead 6-3

There is something special element in this player --- Songphorn

both pairs, esp. the lady players are active and on their feet..KOR 7-3..7-4 now after Songphon's nice return....KOR 8-6..

there is a more special element in this match --- Sundae Lee...;)
KOR ahead 11-7 at the break..and looking sharp...

More "Daehan minguk, Daehan minguk" clap3X & chants...

the THA pair needs to focus their attack on LHJ...but she is as alert as she can be...KOR ahead 13-8..make that 14-8 after LYD delivers one down the sideline..KOR 15-8 now..KOR putting THA pair at the back..

KOR took 1st set easily,21-8

Countless unforced error by the Thai pair in the 1st set :(
Perhaps the reputation of this OG GOLD medallist was too much for them

KOR takes 1st game...KOR takes a 1-0 lead..A 2-1 lead now..

Thailand Doubles players are fun ... From Sudket to Tesana & Songphorn

another wide return by Songphon...KOR ahead 4-2..Man, someone just blocked off the score, but now it's off...KOR ahead 6-3..THA still trying to get their game on track...

More "Daehan minguk, Daehan minguk" chants..

The gap between both pairs seems quite huge..

the unforced errors are piling up for the THAs...KOR ahead 10-5...attack by Yong Dae to Kunchala's body makes it 11-5 for the KOR at the break...THA coach directing his charges. Lee Dong Soo telling the same...

Countless unforced error by the Thai pair in the 1st set :(
Perhaps the reputation of this OG GOLD medallist was too much for them


No. Any double team with the name "Lee Yong Dae" appeared means "formidable".

thats a total demolish for Thailand pair :(

Lee Dong Soo looking as stoic as a veteran coach...The shuttles are just not going the THA pair, either going long or falling short of the net...
Songphon needs to attack LHJ...or else Yong Dae will punish the shuttle..KOR ahead 15-5 and can smell that new prize cheque..;)

No. Any double team with the name "Lee Yong Dae" appeared means "formidable".
If thats so.. I would wonder how would they perform if Hafiz pair with LEE

18-6....koreans really the best pair in this tournament by a lot.

It's over, KORs taking no prisoners, pounding the shuttles like there's no tomorrow..KOR ahead 19-5..LHJ made a boo-boo, KOR 19-6...back to back boo-boo by LYD make that 20-7..And it's over, KORs win it in about 25 minutes...And off LYD and LHJ go to rest and prepare for their next matches...Wow, total points by the THA in both games only tallied up to 15 pts..
1 down for the KORs, 2 more matches to go for the trifecta..:cool:

21-8, 21-7 in 23 minutes for LYD and LHJ

If thats so.. I would wonder how would they perform if Hafiz pair with LEE


You are funny but I agree with you in that case and hence retract what I said.

Is George watching??...There are some good looking prize presentation gals..;)..oh wait, he's into Nippon gals..;)
And there go the 2 mascots representing LYD and LHJ...Dr. Kang with the medal and prize presentation..Kunchala all smiles, Songphon looking cool..Paisan with the flower presentation...Both Kunchala and Songphon smile....LHJ & LYD raised & waved their arms as the crowd cheered them on....All smiles..

Both LYD & LHJ are being interviewed by a television reporter...

Waiting for the next match..

Datuk LCW and Peter Gade are up next....Where are all our M'sian supporters? Noridayu?? Watching on Astro mah??..

LCW looking serious...Gade looking a bit relaxed...

Oh, they're having a fan hitting some shots with Gade..Gade is now lobbying shuttles into the crowd...

Crowd chanting "Malaysia! Malaysia!"..

they are warming up now....
hope LCW win :)

the live from streaming from SBS is nice.... Thanks for the link :)

nice patient rally by Gade ends with a crosscourt smash..LCW ahead 2-1..Long return by LCW, makes it 2-2..

Gade read LCW's smash but returned into the net..3-3...Make it 5-4 for Gade after LCW's crosscourt slice shot...Gade needs to stay patient and keep attacking LCW's backhand...Both players are keeping it close..LCW ahead 7-6, shuttle change..

There still no badminton on GD-Sport. I installed BaroTV but I got error when I want to open SBS. Aaaaaah:crying:... I want to watch Chong Wei - Gade match.:crying::crying:

a close match....

can hear Malaysia supporter :)

"Boleh! Boleh! Boleh!" chants reverberate through the hall...LCW pulled a nice little shuttle-staying-on-the-net shot..LCW ahead 18-16..Gade pulls even 18-18 after a couple of nifty plays at the net..Gade now pulls ahead 20-18, about to close the 1st game..

Game point for PG.....

sob sob, lost the first game.... hope he wil win the next....

PG won 1st game.......common LCW.....take the 2nd game and rubber.....

PG grab 1st set..!!

Pretty good match so far..2nd game about to start...

a good match.... enjoy watching.....
nice shot by LCW

Gade needs to stay patient..LCW breaks his string....Tine shown on tv with her boyfriend, all smiles & looking relaxed..M'sian supporters shown on tv waving their flag..
LCW running away now, perhaps Gade is abandoning this game...Gade playing with so many trick and net shots and looking a bit gassed..

Now...GD-sport...showing

Gade is making more unforced errors...shots going all over the place..fatigue is setting in??..

Finally....GD-Sport showing it but I miss the 1st set :):):):) that is better than nothing.

like PG just give up the game?

Gade is toast....he can't chase any returned drop shots by LCW...Gade sending more clears and profusing even more sweat..

Look like it will be going to 3rd game. LCW leading 20-10 now.

Rubber to start..............

LCW wins the 2nd game. Go Chong Wei for a kill.

LCW just finished the 2nd game, 21-10...If the 2nd game is any indication of how Gade is going to play in the 3rd game, LCW is going to stand on that podium with another big cheque in his pocket...;)
Now to the 3rd game...let's see if Gade can regain his rhythm and tempo..

Rubber to start..............

PG get point after point.... dangerous for LCW....

PG won!!!!!!!!!

pawers are :crying::crying::crying:

PG learned hw to beat LCW
and almost succesful

MP for PG.........sigh

sob sob, LCW lose 17-21

What a brilliant rally!! I think the best rally of the match with both LCW and Gade exchanging some brilliant shots and returns which ends with Gade smashing a crosscourt winner...Gade ahead 18-16...If Gade is to win this match, that could be the turning rally/point of the match..

YESSS!!
PG won the match!!!
Congrats PG and good job for LCW, but he needs to improve, since other opponents already know the way he play..
PG is the best at MS KO 09

Congrat PG........

LCW.........beat PG next time.......

Although he lost 17-21 to Peter, he is a fighter to me. He fight although in trailing big marginal. I believe that LCW will be back in force for All England. Well done, LCW! I always be behind u in shine or rain.

yes! Peter Gade bt LCW!!!! I'm waiting for this long time ago !! Congratulation to PG!!! Love you the most PG :D

Wow, finally for Gade, the 3rd time's the charm, in their many meetings in the last month or so!!!...He looks so happy and relieved and so does the crowd...The end of the 3rd was similar to the end of the 1st game with Gade ratcheting up his game and LCw making a few more unforced errors...Gade threw something to the delighted crowd..

Congrats to both LCW and Gade for giving their best!! It could've gone either way, but imo, that fabulous rally near the end of the 3rd game was the turning point...

*cooler, X Ball will be back for the AE..;)

Great shows by Peter The Great !

don't forget the chinese will be back at All England also ;)

no X-Ball here with his "Big Talk" ...:D:D:D:D
hmm.. watching live?

Do not worry Malaysian, LCW will bounce back and came back with victory again. But most importantly, he is in the final for the Korea Open where he never enter final before. It is winter in Korea and he has to readapt with the temperature. Chong Wei will revenge his defeat.

don't forget the chinese will be back at All England also ;)
It will be good battle to gage whether LCW is able to cope with the pressure as wr.1 in All England. With more challenge, it will make him more determine to win.

yes! Peter Gade bt LCW!!!! I'm waiting for this long time ago !! Congratulation to PG!!! Love you the most PG :D
what??...you're a Gade fan?? i thought you're from M'sia??..;);)

Prize presentation ceremony. Paisan and Dr. Kang doing the honors. M'sian supporters shown on tv and reacted right away.;) LCW looking a bit solemn & trying to smile. Gade looking relieved, mucho smiles....

Yes,...LCW need to do some research......his opponents already studied his play........hope for better next time....

he played indoor, slept indoor.

Finally Peter Gade was able to beat Lee Chong Wei! He's done incredibly well lately. Hmm GD Sports cuts it off just as they start an interview with Peter Gade >_>. How annoying...

aha, the interviewer asked Gade if he had kimchi..:p
Gade also says he's happy to beat LCW, the world no.1, on a good day....

Gade then threw his bouquet of flowers to the crowd...a gracious gesture..:cool:

Dato Kalahhhhh....I think he need a rest he look tired. :( Never mine I always sokong our Dato. Malaysia still dihatiku.:) Congrate to PG for his first win to LCW.

Yes,...LCW need to do some research......his opponents already studied his play........hope for better next time....
Do not worry,Jasonmarc. I believe that Datok Misbun will plan new tactics for him to deploy during All England.

As predicted.. Gade to beat Chong Wei this time. Gade played well today. Hats Off to him. :)

what does outside temp has to do with his defeat???
he played indoor, slept indoor.
It is not easy or Asian people to play in winter as it South East Asia, we did not have winter, autumn and spring.

Heh I joined the live stream without coming to forums first and for some reason I thought it was the first game and I was thinking "I hope he doesn't run out of energy later on", so I was pretty surprised when it said "Championship Point". BTW, the top down perspective was interesting.

Peter Gade Won, Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what does outside temp has to do with his defeat???
he played indoor, slept indoor.
agree with you ;)

It is not easy or Asian people to play in winter as it South East Asia, we did not have winter, autumn and spring.why didn't lcw lost earlier:confused: Why lose a rubber due to temperature?

so, LD lost in MAS open because northern china never get so humid and hot like in MAS.....Ahhh, now i understand...:rolleyes:

I think he need to come to my place for training. This morning the temp. was -23 degress calcius.:)

when was the last time peter beat lcw? like 2006?

Great match.. Two of my favourite players... One has to win, one has to loose...

Some super-rallies, combined with a lot of problem with shots going long...

very entertaining.. Gade played exceptionally well in the first set i think..

It is not easy or Asian people to play in winter as it South East Asia, we did not have winter, autumn and spring.
Actually temperature is not an excuse for losing a game, LCW's disappointment is caused by other factors :)

No need to give any excuse for Chong Wei lost. Gade fine tune his strategy and it work brilliantly. Making excuse will only happily feed anti LCW trolls for more degrading remarks.

actually kak ayu is right... not all malaysian can get used to the winter temp... if your body can't handle it, you are prone to fever etc... look what happen to simon... headache ppl said? must be painful when he got the chance to beat PG in that semi... wonder what happen if PG ever got to play simon and simon's headache arrived after semi... a walkover over for lcw in final? insane, insane...:D

but again, don't take this as an excuse... just explaining the weather issue... PG did play a great game and LCW made unnecessary errors... I'm grinning for the upset in PAW court...hehe

No need to give any excuse for Chong Wei lost. Gade fine tune his strategy and it work brilliantly. Making excuse will only happily feed anti LCW trolls for more degrading remarks.
funny thing is, this thread is about discussion day 6 of the 2009 KO final:rolleyes:

..SBS sports just ended their broadcast...now watching through UUSee->BTV6...They did an exhibition between a fan and Tine, just like they did earlier on with Gade...

..SBS sports just ended their broadcast...now watching through UUSee->BTV6...They did an exhibition between a fan and Tine, just like they did earlier on with Gade...
It is so good. Too bad during MO, there was no exhibition between a fan and a player :(

Lady Pi in her familiar blue top and black skirt attire...And Tine in her even more familiar all-black attire...BTV6 broadcast is so delayed...

I hope we'll see the same exciting match as we did in the MS match, going all 3 games..:cool:

I'm waiting for another upset on the WS department.. :D

Your statement totally make no sense. This is a discussion of day 6 for 2009 KO final.

Pi is walking over TR

..SBS sports just ended their broadcast...now watching through UUSee->BTV6...They did an exhibition between a fan and Tine, just like they did earlier on with Gade...

That lady was a local Korean actress.

No !! Why chong wei lost ??? *sobs*

hah, Pi just missed that easy gimme shot..a bit of a controversial call as to whether the shuttle was in or out..but at the end they gave the point to Pi...

OK OK relax Dr. sir... btw... I dont think I talk about day 5 match :D .... just ignore it.... hope pi wins...happy? :D

can they fast forward the game to match the current livescore??...:p

I think Pi can win this match as she's familiar with Tine's game..but so is Tine familiar with Pi's game..:p

u cant make weather as an excuse..
the best reason is: PG played better than LCW today.
if weather is an excuse, so, that's why PG lost from LCW in MO last week..:D:D..
all INA and MAS players will not get any titles when competing in Europe or northern part of Asia in Winter, then and they will not take a part there forever....hehehe.. funny.

aha, the interviewer asked Gade if he had kimchi..:p
Gade also says he's happy to beat LCW, the world no.1, on a good day....

Gade then threw his bouquet of flowers to the crowd...a gracious gesture..:cool:

nice.lcw oso threw tat to crowd in mas open. butet too. i tot PG wiill throw his racket like he normally do when he win finals. nway congrats to PG.

I agree on that. Peter did his homework and deserve to win. In fact, I think the score could have been much further if Peter didn't attempt so many smash down the line which have gone wide.

Tine is now unleashing her shoulder rockets, Pi under bombardments...

Tine just finished the 1st game...Pi is still clearing some leftover rockets shells..

nice.lcw oso threw tat to crowd in mas open. butet too. i tot PG wiill throw his racket like he normally do when he win finals. nway congrats to PG.
i think PG is keeping his "lucky" racket for the AE...;)

Pi is now on the move, taking out her humvee...Tine reloading her RPG...Pi leading 5-4..

i think PG is keeping his "lucky" racket for the AE...;)

Global financial crisis make him think many times to do that..
too expensive to buy new one..:D:D:D

uh-oh Tine is really mad as she starts firing her RPGs and now taking out her SAM missiles...Pi is sent scurrying, with a flat tire on her humvee...Tine leading 9-6 in the 2nd game

A lot of shuttles out.....from LCW...

do u count it???in all 1st n 3rd set...more than 15...;)

PG learned hw to beat LCW
and almost succesful

yes...he surely reply many times of the defeat video...:D

Congrats PG and good job for LCW, but he needs to improve, since other opponents already know the way he play..


u know not equal to u can beat him...;)...u nid to have tat ability...

LCw making a few more unforced errors...

a few???:confused:

Yes,...LCW need to do some research......his opponents already studied his play........hope for better next time....

he is still improving...compare his wining point play(sure not unfroce error rally lar) with mo 09...;)

As predicted.. Gade to beat Chong Wei this time. Gade played well today. Hats Off to him. :)

agree...peter gade play well today...:D...

In fact, I think the score could have been much further if Peter didn't attempt so many smash down the line which have gone wide.

he need not to do tat...lcw will send the shutter out...to reward pg...;)

Pi just lost her GPS device, can not locate Tine, as Tine is smiling while still firing at will...Tine leading 11-7 at the break...Another tire lost, now Pi is driving with 2 flat tires..

Peter Gade has been playing well for the last few months. 0nly this time did he manage to win LCW.

Glad to have at least one competative european...

Pi is now driving on 1 tire as Tine just blew away another tire...Tine getting her SCUD missile ready...Tine ahead 19-18..Pi calling for help..

i wonder why ur live stream so slow???mine now 19 all

Glad to have at least one competative european...


tine rasmusen is not in ur list???:confused:

Tine just delivered her SCUD missile, while Pi got off her humvee in time but fell into a ditch..Tine wins in straight games...

Tine and Pi received the prize and flowers and now posing for pics. Pi wants to walk away but Tine keeps asking her to take more pics...All smiles from the 2 ladies...

On the day...when LCW beat PG......PG was forced to make alot of mistakes..........:)

In today's game.....LCW was slower n was under pressure all the time...and was forced to made a lot of mistakes.....:cool:

oh...hehe...ur 99.99% lcw title is gone...:p...
...
..it was game over, finito, sayonara, "hasta la vista baby" for Gade after i saw his 2nd game performance...

BTV6 is soooo behind....

okay, LHJ is now going for her 2nd title today....WD is up next...

crowd chanting "Daehan Minguk! Guk Guk Guk Guk Guk" clap3x...

Oh, another celebrity exhibition, this time with LKW...

TPE pair all dressed in all-black attire..KOR pair dressed in blue tops and white skirts..

so funny...gd sport comentator say...du/yu still world number one...i laughing and falling down from the chair...

the korean WD gals wearing nice blue jerseys

both LHJ and esp. LKW look like high school gals in those attires..

And they're ahead 6-2...

don't injure yourself:D After the military training, they will transform into tom-men:p

haha...training and real match is different...u nid to have match fitness...;)

What? LCW lost to PG? NOO!!!

LHJ is playing like a woman possessed, once hitting Cheng WH on her head..and making superb returns..Chien YC is making a few judgment errors on a couple of long lifts..
KOR ahead 11-5 at the break..

TPE pair not reacting well..KOR ahead 13-9..

What? LCW lost to PG? NOO!!!

lcw is not unbeatable...

KORs ahead 17-15 as TPE pair is starting to find their game..All knotted up at 17 a piece now...LHJ is starting to make errors under pressure..KORs holding on with a 19-18 lead..

lcw is not unbeatable...

unlike LD.................:eek:......:D

LKW's serves are floating..Whoah, the TPE pair cameback and won the 1st game..Clever placements, towards the end, by the TPE pair won them the 1st game..LHJ's errors, once with a mid-court smash into the net, ended the 1st game..

TPE WD playing well.....so strong......KOR facing problem to clinch 3 titles now...

IF TPE WD succeded....this will be their first ever SS title............hope they manage to do so......

wow... PG must be playing well to beat LCW. Strategy must be good. ;) Well done to danish!; )

They had to call the tournament referee to resolve something...TPE pair is in control, ahead 14-7..LKW took a knee burn as she slid and fell, won't look good to our samuel882 if he sees it..;)

wow... PG must be playing well to beat LCW. Strategy must be good. ;) Well done to danish!; )

PG..played a flawless game today......speed, power and accuracy........just like the way he defeated TH in FO 08........:p

If Asian players always dominate Badminton.. Badminton will not be interesting anymore.. And will not be played at olympic.

wow... PG must be playing well to beat LCW. Strategy must be good. ;) Well done to danish!; )

good strategy...plus opponent 'reward' for his good effort...;)

Congrat....TPE WD....Chien/Chen.....1st ever SS title........well done....

PG..played a flawless game today......speed, power and accuracy........just like the way he defeated TH in FO 08........:p
..not really flawless, but he did dictate the game toward the end of the 1st & 3rd games..In other words, Gade made the plays when they matter..;)

It's over, as the KORs' dream of sweeping the 3 titles are dashed by the TPE pair.

..not really flawless, but he did dictate the game toward the end of the 1st & 3rd games..In other words, Gade made the plays when they matter..;)



Yes, agreed............:p

Prize and flower presentation. LHJ doesn't look too happy, LKW trying to smile. TPE pair on the other hand looks happy but no smiles either. C'mon gals....
I see one fan slouching and about to fall off his chair...

OK, last match of the day coming up....

Who is that person played with lyd... at the beginning of warming up?

another celebrity exhibition playing with LYD..most likely an actor..

okay, last match of the day pits 2 pairs playing a rematch of last yr's China Open SS MD Finals. KORs dressed in all-black attires while the Danes dressed in white and light blue attires...

The Danes are off to a blistering 10-4 start...Playing w/a lot of confidence..The Danes are staying away from the drive game, KORs not able to setup their game, yet..Danes ahead 14-4..Danes making nice placement shots, keeping the shuttle away from Yong Dae..

questionable call, conference call with the umpire...Danes ahead 17-9..KORs lifts are a bit loose, perhaps wary of the Danes' height..Danes about to close the 1st game, leading 19-11..
Another questionable call, this time Boe is pleading to the umpire to no avail..
Danes just took the 1st game..

2nd game is starting..let's see if the KOR pair really lives up to the "The King of Rubber Game" nickname (as narnia calls them;))..Another fast start by the Danes 4-1..
The Danes' defense has been stout and their counter-attacks have been effective..
JJS complained to the umpire of an illegal serve (high serve)..
JJS making more errors from the rear court, perhaps lacking a bit of confidence..

he no need buy new cos yonex will give him. i saw he have many same rackets in his bag in mas open. almost 10 in it :eek:

O.K.. Yonex asked him not to do that, then.. for saving!!:D:D:D:D:cool:

first time i've seen a sign of stress on Yong Dae's face..Danes still keeping their distance 9-5..Danes' flick serves are bothering the KORs..KORs trying hard to buckle down & minimize much lifts but to no avail..

Hah, JJS gave another "ssshhh" gesture to the Danes after another questionable call..
While Mogensen gave a "1 up" gesture to the crowd after pouncing one down..The fans need to give more "Daehan minguk" chants!..

KORs inching closer, Danes in the lead 13-12 as we head on to the crucial stage of the game/match..All tied at 13 a piece as the crowd roars...

This is really kan cheong time for the KOR, as well as the Danish fans...All knotted up at 14 a piece as the Danes are making more unforced errors..Now, the KORs are giving the Danes a taste of their own medicine with the high serves...LYD warned for taunting??..

this is really a very good match...both sides giving their all..17 all..crucial period 18-17 to the Danes..

Hah, JJS attempted a KKK impersonation by diving and playing while sitting on his rear...but the lift went long..Danes ahead 19-18..

OMG, OMG, the KORs about to clinch the 2nd game..nooo, 20 all...Now, it's do or die, Danes ahead 21-20...no, 21 all...as JJS yelled one out..22-21 for the KORs...no, 22 all...

Man, i can imagine if our Hau-ge was watching this and a fan of either pair, he's probably on the way out of the stadium already..

And the Danes take it & redeem themselves!!! Wow, what a match!!! Ultra exciting!! This is a must watch match!:cool:

DEN clinched it at 24-22

who would've thought that DEN becomes the big winner with 3 out of 5 titles. well done.

Poor LYD/JJS, even Bona/Ahsan could steal a set from Danes.

Wow,....what an up-set.......first thot Kor going to win 3 titles....but end up as Danes won three titles........Well done Danes........

WOW, they actually won. Hehehe, good thing i made the daring decision to paw Boe/M. After their seniors lost so easily yesterday, they're all fired up to revenge the defeat.
Wasnt bold enough to paw Taiwan WD though i had a hunch they may just take it.

This Danes has a nick name called....'寒帶龍’.....they are the one who enjoy the cold here ...in /seoul.....even better than Korean....hehehehehe

Last point of the match was a very close one...The Danes were ecstatic, one fell to the ground in excitement and Mogensen did a LD with that Darth Vader face-covered-with-shirt pose...
From what i saw, JJS made many errors, esp. toward the end of the 2nd game. I think he needs to take a "diving and playing while sitting down" lesson from KKK..;)

Ah well, the Danish pair really came ready and was focused. They also stopped "The King of Rubber Game" pair from winning their 6 straight SS title. Perhaps the Korean Open is a curse to this KOR pair??. On the other hand, LYD & JJS will get another shot at starting another SS winning streak, in the upcoming AE SS (just like last yr).:cool:

Congrats to the Danes for conquering the Korean Open by winning 3 out of 5 titles!!:cool:

Indonesia & Malaysia go home empty handed...

6 straight SS title?? did you type wrongly? I believed they lost in the SS finals in Kinabalu from KKK/TBH...
