2009 AE: Day 5 (Semi-Finals) Saturday March 7

[Smichz]

Yeah...9-9.Good netting from Taufik!

[abedeng]

Taufik misses at the net with LCW ready to pounce.

[aulia]

[yen_saw]

[Smichz]

11-9 for LCW.Come on Taufik,it's not too late!

[abedeng]

Another body attack confuses Taufik.

[extremenanopowe]

wow good rallies.. 13-12.;)

[yen_saw]

YES YES YES!!!! go LCW.... great defense show by LCW

[aulia]

12-14.....haiz..... come on....

Taufik....Taufik....

Taufik....Taufik....

[abedeng]

Taufik had the shuttle at his mercy, and puts it to net.

[yen_saw]

TH is showing sign of nervousness

[Smichz]

10-11..Great smash by taufik!

[abedeng]

Taufiks diagonal attack lands wide.

[extremenanopowe]

LCW toying with his superior stamina. ;)

[abedeng]

That long rally ended with a tired defence from Taufik.

[Smichz]

12-11!!Taufik,go go go!!

[yen_saw]

uh oh LCW pulling away...

[abedeng]

Taufik trying hard but cannot find his range.

LCW good placement.

[aulia]

13-18.............. huffh... I wanna cry....:(:(:(

come on Taufik...!!!

[yen_saw]

TH appaer to be goner

[eRa@에라]

yay match point!

[extremenanopowe]

syabas... next. LD. ;) I hope to see a classic final. ;)

[yen_saw]

TH is giving up.....

[abedeng]

Misbun and Rashid congratulate each other as LCW finishes Taufik off 21-13.

[Smichz]

Taufik is indeed tired,he doesnt even smash alot like he used to be!

[lawcc]

wooooo...yeahhh

[yen_saw]

i didn't expect TH to lose in straight sets..... great job LCW if anyone can give LD a challenge it is LCW!

[badadum]

yeah...stamina is still lacking...
Congrats LCW, good luck tomorrow :D

[volcom]

well Taufik just got a absolute whipping of epic proportions

[robin7]

Yes, Lee Chong Wei beat Taufik Hidayat 21-8 21-13...

[extremenanopowe]

Looks like only LCW can give the Chinese a good fight. Not healthy for badminton. We need more good players out there. ;)

[volcom]

LD will be more than happy to meet LCW in the finals :):)

[yen_saw]

Damn the WD is still on going while the other court has two games done alreasy

[jasonmarc]

To me...its an up-set......TH movement are slow......but LCW shots are neat.....and with good strategies........

[yen_saw]

This is probably the easiest win for LCW vs TH.....

[extremenanopowe]

Fair dinkum mate. Taufik is heavy. Not possible to win this. ;)

Coach by 2 former malaysian champions. Hope to see a good final. camon camon... ;)

[koo_fan]

CHONG WEI! YOU ROCKS !
SAY YES TO THE FIRST AE!

[volcom]

LCW has to beat dongfang bubai first :):)

[yen_saw]

LCW defense is good in this game. LD will need to use more of his fire power to crack LCW defense

[badadum]

This is probably the easiest win for LCW vs TH.....

Nah, in SSM TH got crushed even worse (15 total pts). Granted he's injured back then. He might've recovered from that, but stamina is still lacking.


Allright, go go Tine :D

[Smichz]

LD againts LCW...LD will wil for sure.I would rather watch LD againts TH.Too bad..

[jutawin]

Lee Chong Wei beat Taufik Hidayat so easy 21-8, 21-13.
it's just 33 minutes.. bye2 Taufik, try next year..

[extremenanopowe]

Lots of bcers are playing tonite. The crowd will be back tomolo... or in half hour time. ;)

[abedeng]

Zhang Ning is coaching Jiang Yanjiao. I wish her all the best, for my PAW, that is ......

[yen_saw]

Nah, in SSM TH got crushed even worse (15 total pts). Granted he's injured back then. He might've recovered from that, but stamina is still lacking

Oh i missed that one:o

[jasonmarc]

This is probably the easiest win for LCW vs TH.....

No,...the easiest win was in SSF....in KK........where TH was having an injury..............:cool:

[abedeng]

I am not too fond of Tine Rasmussen's new playing attire. I think it makes her look a bit fat .....

[badadum]

KJ and Morten Frost? KJ is part of Danish coaching team? Good for him :)

[kokcheng]

Congrats.Lee Chong Wei,go for it.

[yen_saw]

LYD must be thinking now when is the WD game going to finish he wants his lunch :D

[abedeng]

Tit for tat so far, Tine picks up cheap points.

[joelabb]

Congrat to our Dato, can't wait for tomorrow match with with LD, repeat of the OG final.:)

[Dr. Evil]

I admit I'm totally shock. While I was rooting for LCW all the way, I did make a hasty judgement that this game belong to taufik. I downloaded several of their previous matches and most of the time LCW got suck into playing Taufik game.

Whew........ congratulation LCW. Now for the hardest part of the tournament, going up against the reign Olympic and World champion.

[abedeng]

JYJ confused by that attacking clear.

[Destricto_Ense]

LCW played quite well, but to be honest Taufik pretty much gave him the game with all the shots he hit out and into the net..

[abedeng]

TR frustrated for giving that point to JYJ's forehand.

[yen_saw]

yeah if there is anyone able to crack the great wall in WS that is Tine!

[abedeng]

LCW played quite well, but to be honest Taufik pretty much gave him the game with all the shots he hit out and into the net..

Yup, I agree. Much like how Gade couldn't bring his game up last night.

[yen_saw]

finally the WD is over..... and CHN already has one title in the pocket

[ctjcad]

Jiang Yanjiao doesn't have a backhand...saw a couple of times, she just couldn't reach and return it with her backhand...
A lot of "Jia you" chants from the crowd..
A lot of M'sian supporters in the crowd as well...

[badadum]

Tine is giving up too many cheap points.

[tommy_bun]

Time to cheer for Jiang........Jia You Jiang Yan Jiao....

[abedeng]

JYJ forced to clear deep.

TR pushed the shuttle a bit too hard.

[jasonmarc]

Congrat to our Dato, can't wait for tomorrow match with with LD, repeat of the OG final.:)

Better dont repeat the result.....:o

[yen_saw]

nice judgement from Tine... JYJ has nice court coverage she is pretty quick compare to Tine

[abedeng]

finally the WD is over..... and CHN already has one title in the pocket

And thus, more PAWs for me ....

[jasonmarc]

JYJ seems able to returns thoes power shot from TR..............so powerful......

[Chiku]

At last glory for LCW... ;)
unluck for TH...

[abedeng]

Tine on purple patch, takes 3 pts lead at the break.

[joelabb]

Too many errors from TH and I don't see any net play by LCW in this match eventhough his net play is so good.

[eaglehelang]

I admit I'm totally shock. While I was rooting for LCW all the way, I did make a hasty judgement that this game belong to taufik. I downloaded several of their previous matches and most of the time LCW got suck into playing Taufik game.
.

I dont quite get this part. You're shocked Taufik lost so easy or that LCW actually won? :confused: For me,the "hard" fought match between LCW & Taufik was 2007 Japan SS finals, rubber sets.;)

[lawcc]

LCW played quite well, but to be honest Taufik pretty much gave him the game with all the shots he hit out and into the net.. yallo..14 unforce error...from total 42 points given by taufik to turtle lee..:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[abedeng]

TR's consistency is wanting, a few simple errors.

[ctjcad]

Tine is hanging in there with her taped up ankle..
Tine should be shooting the shuttle more to JYJ's backhand side..
It seems to me, JYJ's movement is a bit slow and not as fluid..
Close score so far, Tine in the lead 11-8 at interval..
Too bad they won't be showing the all KOR MD match..:p

[abedeng]

JYJ so deceptive at the net.

[koo_fan]

Better dont repeat the result.....:o
Yeah..our datuk must have learn something.
Excited..i am!

[abedeng]

Tine returns to form at the critical moments, getting 3 straight pts to lead.

[lawcc]

i word to describe tine.."solid"..in playing style..physical. stamina..or even in communicate..a little ego !!!

[abedeng]

I think Tine is not as fast, maybe her ankle problem. She didn't respond to some JYJ attacking clears, letting them land.

[abedeng]

JYJ returns to the lead, having forced Tine to work overtime.

[ctjcad]

Tine crosscourt grazed the net and JYJ barely returned it only to be smashed by Tine..
Tine up ahead 16-15..
Couple more mistakes from Tine and it's now 16 all..

[yen_saw]

Too many errors from TH and I don't see any net play by LCW in this match eventhough his net play is so good.

At least 3 time LCW "inviting" TH to play net and go for quick kill:eek:

[rwg05]

For the first time, for the first time ever in the history of Indian television, they're showing the All England LIVE...

and I don't subscribe to the channel :(:(:(

[abedeng]

Tine responds with good net deception.

[yen_saw]

i hope to see Tine in the final. More entertaining that way :)

[Dr. Evil]

I dont quite get this part. You're shocked Taufik lost so easy or that LCW actually won? :confused: For me,the "hard" fought match between LCW & Taufik was 2007 Japan SS finals, rubber sets.;)


Shock that LCW even won. Watch the match between TH and gade yesterday and I concluded that TH might still be holding back for a surprise present to LCW ( his movement is too slow compare to.... lets say his match with gade in AE04 semi ). Guess I was wrong

[Destricto_Ense]

yallo..14 unforce error...from total 42 points given by taufik to turtle lee..
Well from watching the match a very different impression was given. I'm not saying that Lee Chong Wei wasn't playing well, but every time Taufik drew level and had the change to go ahead he would screw it up for himself rather than LCW actually beating him..

[tommy_bun]

Comn Jiang...2 more to go...

[abedeng]

All level as JYJ sends the return long.

But she gains gamepoint on Tine's error.

[tommy_bun]

1 more Jiang.....

[abedeng]

Tine responds with her trademark attacking clear, deuce.

[tommy_bun]

U can do it Jiang.....

[abedeng]

Now Tine's in the mood, gamepoint!!

[ctjcad]

Tine needs to keep pushing the shuttle to JYJ's backhand side...force her to do backhands or over-the-head forehand shots..
Errors are what dooming Tine in the 1st game..Game pt for JYJ..

[tommy_bun]

level...........

[abedeng]

Jiang gets lucky, Tine muffs the kill.

[tommy_bun]

Match pion Jiang....finish it.....

[yen_saw]

JYJ wasted a game point so does Tine

[abedeng]

JYJ gets 3rd chance.

[abedeng]

Jiang wins as Tine made a silly net error.

[tommy_bun]

Yes....set 1 is finished........

[robin7]

Yes, JYJ takes the 1st game 24-22...

[yen_saw]

Too many mistake by Tine

[volcom]

Great stuff for JYJ!!! :D:D:D:D hahaha TR is angry

[abedeng]

Morten Frost gets to work, Poul Erik Hoyer Larsen will have to translate for us.

[yen_saw]

i would be angry too if i made so many mistake ;)

[abedeng]

Jiang attacks Tine on the overhead as Tine had to move.

[robin7]

Tine is frustrated... JYJ 3-0 up...

[abedeng]

Tine is not helping herself, trying too hard.

[ctjcad]

I am not too fond of Tine Rasmussen's new playing attire. I think it makes her look a bit fat .....
..easy there, abang Din..;)

Tine will not win this match if she keeps on making those errors, esp. like towards the latter part of the 1st game..

[robin7]

Brilliant start by JYJ 5-0...

[yen_saw]

3:0 Tine behind will this one end soon and another title in CHN pockets after WD?

[badadum]

mistakes after mistakes by Tine.

[abedeng]

Yup, my PAW looks in good hands now .....

Tine stops the rot as JYJ questions the line call.

[robin7]

Clever play by JYJ 7-2...

[abedeng]

..easy there, abang Din..;)

Tine will not win this match if she keeps on making those errors, esp. like towards the latter part of the 1st game..

She did that against Yippy, against CHN players, that would be fatal.

[jutawin]

JYJ took first set 24-22.
it can be an upset..

[tommy_bun]

Tine just let the shuttle land.....although she can return it if she wanted to

[abedeng]

Really, Tine is like Taufik before her. Unable to control the situation.

[ctjcad]

I think Tine's mind is still stuck in the 1st game..she needs to shake it off and start playing..JYJ is now dictating the game..
JYJ up ahead 9-3...Tine's blank stare & facial expression says it all..
JYJ up at the interval 11-4..ending in another Tine's error..

[robin7]

Looking good for JYJ 10-3 up...

[yen_saw]

damn jYJ drop shots are really good

[abedeng]

Yup, the game is all over even at this midgame interval.

[robin7]

Looking very good for JYJ as she leads 11-4...

[yen_saw]

looks like another title for lyb

[abedeng]

Tine is getting agitated.

[robin7]

It's over for Tine as JYJ 14-4 up...

[yen_saw]

hmmm lyd is behind 1 set !

[robin7]

Bye2 Tine... JYJ 15-6...

[ctjcad]

Really, Tine is like Taufik before her. Unable to control the situation.
i did not watch the Taufik vs. LCW's match til the last couple pts..I don't think Tine is as tired as Taufik. However, i think her taped up ankles might be bothering her a bit..
JYJ's lead grows to 15-6..

[robin7]

Can Tine come back? JYJ 17-9...

[tommy_bun]

4 more to go JiaNG.......

[abedeng]

Tine mounts a fightback, perhaps too late.

[robin7]

Would it be too late for Tine, 11-17?

[yen_saw]

Tine tyrying to fight back... might be a little too late

[yen_saw]

ops abedeng just repeat what you said :D

[limsy]

Nah..Mantap!Taufik in MO is back!

har????what th do in mo????:rolleyes:...he in mo????which year????:confused:


LD will be more than happy to meet LCW in the finals :):)

hehe....:p


LCW has to beat dongfang bubai first :):)

aiya...he lost in east a few time ler....:p


Yeah..our datuk must have learn something.
Excited..i am!

prepare urself for mu vs fulham


i word to describe tine.."solid"..in playing style..physical. stamina..or even in communicate..a little ego !!!

one word:mistake....;)

[abedeng]

Wonderful placement from Tine, Jiang gets a bit nervous.

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Jiang........

[yen_saw]

very nice drop shot by Tine....

[tommy_bun]

Jiang Yan Jiao.......Jia You.....

[abedeng]

That call is suspicous.

[robin7]

Mistake after mistake by JYJ...

[abedeng]

HSH/HJM gives me more reasons for PAW cheer ......

[robin7]

18-all... Unbelievable...

[abedeng]

Unbelievable, says Gillian Clark. I agree.

[tommy_bun]

3 more Jiang.......make it an all china Affair

[jutawin]

LYD/SBC lost...................

[aZn_Popcorn]

WOW, Tine is on FIRE!!

[abedeng]

Perfect placement from Tine. I would not dare try that shot.

[aeida]

this match is way more interesting than LCW-TH match..

[Noridayu]

Well done, LCW! You deserved the victory as you played well with composure although Taufik put the pressure in the 2nd game. One more step to be a champion brother.

[tommy_bun]

2 more Jiang.......Finish it soon

[robin7]

Match pt for JYJ.....

[abedeng]

JYJ upset that her dropshot landed wide.

[robin7]

Wide..... Deuce..........

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Jiang..........

[tommy_bun]

level..........

[robin7]

Netted by Tine... 21-all...

[abedeng]

That long rally ended with Tine's indecision.

[abedeng]

Superb dropshot from Tine, 2nd opportunity.

[yen_saw]

amazing fight back......!!! Tine can she do it... this is more exciting that LCW vs TH :D

[robin7]

Long by Tine... 22-all...

[tommy_bun]

Jiang....Jia You........

[robin7]

Long... Match pt for JYJ...

[tommy_bun]

win....Jiang.........match point

[abedeng]

Again, Jiang cannot finish it off.

[abedeng]

Another Tine beauty, 3rd gamepoint ......

[tommy_bun]

Level..again Jiang.....

[abedeng]

Astonishing!!! Great fightback from Tine and I'm sure Jiang is demoralized. Morten Frost and Kenneth Jonassen are ecstatic.

[yen_saw]

Rubber!!!..................

[robin7]

Unbelievable... Tine takes the 2nd game from 4-14 down...

[tommy_bun]

hmnnn.....better win 3rd set Jiang...and save my paw

[yen_saw]

speechless.... two very close game could have gone either way

[abedeng]

Motivation talk by Morten Frost, a lot of clenched fists.

[volcom]

Tine should lose it 3rd set.... This match is wasting time for other more exciting matches :'(

[extremenanopowe]

wow tr is good. mental strong. a hallmark of champion. great comeback. ;)

[tommy_bun]

Dont be nervous Jiang just give all you have....

[abedeng]

Psychologically, Tine holds the advantage.

[yen_saw]

wow lyd lost!.....

[abedeng]

Jiang starts off well.

[ctjcad]

What a 2nd game resurgence from Tine...It was eerily similar to the 1st game, esp. towards the end, with both sides making errors..I think JYJ ran a bit out of gas and her mistakes allowed Tine to come back..

[badadum]

Jiang should lose it 3rd set.... This match is wasting time for other more exciting matches :'(

Totally agree :p

[extremenanopowe]

her size is huge... ;)

[yen_saw]

gez Tine is making mistake after mistake again

[tommy_bun]

Jiang Has a better start..Can she make it?????

[limsy]

Unbelievable... Tine takes the 2nd game from 4-14 down...

just like how wyh can win from zm....:eek:

[extremenanopowe]

tr just woke up.. ;)

[abedeng]

That shuttle was in, unlucky Jiang.

[jutawin]

http://www.justin.tv/uktvsport1/popout
try watching here.. it works..

[abedeng]

JYJ doing all the chasing now.

[tommy_bun]

Jiang.......I know U can...

[extremenanopowe]

its mental game now. both extremely tired. ;)

[extremenanopowe]

energy sapping... ;)

[abedeng]

Tine is still unstable, this opens the door for Jiang to return.

[yen_saw]

this is going to be another long game... someone will get a cramp if the rally continue ;)

[abedeng]

Tine's dropshot gives her 2pt advantage at the changeover.

[yen_saw]

nice drop shot by Tine. JYJ appear to be tire

[yen_saw]

Morten Frost can't speak Scandanavian?

[extremenanopowe]

the chinese girl knees are going to buckle if tr keeps on dropping like that. ;)

[abedeng]

Tine fires straight at Jiang.

[ctjcad]

Tine is getting her groove back, let's see if she can finish it off...Ahead 13-10..Crowd chanting "Tine! Tine! Tine!"..

[yen_saw]

Tine is looking good. Still, what a come back for her

[abedeng]

Jiang had to bow to Tine's great return to her backhand.

[extremenanopowe]

wow.. the chinese really have to dig hard. ;) running all over. looks out from tr.

[abedeng]

Good measurement of the court, shuttle lands plum on the line.

[extremenanopowe]

very accurate shots from tr.. ;)

[tommy_bun]

Will this be the end of Jiang???Hmnn...so dissapointed

[extremenanopowe]

tr game to win this. congrats. ;)

[PoLLuX]

17 -13 for tine

[extremenanopowe]

a great comeback from a true champion. well done! ;)

[abedeng]

Looks like I have to forgo my PAW, but it's great to see that fightback.

[yen_saw]

See Tine in final.....

[Destricto_Ense]

Holy crap, what an amazing comeback.

[extremenanopowe]

very humble chinese girl. ;)

[badadum]

congrats tine!!!
good luck nana :D

[PoLLuX]

tine won the game...

[tommy_bun]

Looks like I have to forgo my PAW, but it's great to see that fightback.

2morrow Yihan will save ur paw if you paw on her:D:p

[yen_saw]

great game for Tine but credit to the CHN youngster she played like senior

[volcom]

Sad, JYJ didnt have any power to dictate the play... only TR was gifting the points...
JYJ does not have a go-to shot and her height is a great disadvantage

[ctjcad]

What a match for Tine and she's back to defend her title from last year! Jiang is just not there yet...Total collapse after she had the nice lead cushion late in the 2nd game, but a lot of mistakes doomed her...I also noticed there are quite a few close line shots throughout the whole match..

[abedeng]

2morrow Yihan will save ur paw if you paw on her:D:p

But 1st I need to see if Yihan is worth PAW-ing ...... :p JYJ had better fighting spirit than Yihan and the 2 Lins (Wang and Zhu) and she still lost.

[badadum]

Allrite, been wanting to see MB/CM live :D

[tommy_bun]

Watch out Tine....Hope Yihan avenges for Jiang

[tommy_bun]

But 1st I need to see if Yihan is worth PAW-ing ...... :p JYJ had better fighting spirit than Yihan and the 2 Lins (Wang and Zhu) and she still lost.
I think Yihan has a good spirit too...she was still able to win against ZM in the 3rd set just like Tine...

[badadum]

Watch out Tine....Hope Yihan avenges for Jiang

Writing off Nana already?? ;)

[jutawin]

almost lost at 2nd set..
Tina rasmussen win the game. defend the title..

[ctjcad]

Hah, Gail Emms is interviewing Tine (watching through the justin.tv link)...Tine said her coach told her not to give up and don't stop running. She said she's tired but will fight all the way again..

Next up is the MD match-looks very enticing..FHF & CY vs. Boe & Mogensen..Let's see who will take over the net game..:)

[extremenanopowe]

the great chinese pair is back.. ;)

[tommy_bun]

Writing off Nana already?? ;)
I think Yihan will win hehehehee:p:D

[Destricto_Ense]

Well Nanna is being destroyed.

[limsy]

chris is like writing essay....

[t3tsubo]

Lin Dan wins (or is given) the first game 21-13

[hcpoirot]

Chn will guarantee 1 titles from WD and 2 almost in the bag. Unless FHF/ CY and HHB/YY messed pretty badly in final. (The other XD semifinal had not been play yet)

The hard part and very even fight will be in WS: Tine VS WYH

And MS : LCW VS LD (At this time he alreay won the first set 21-12 .

[hcpoirot]

While LD look very fit, CJ look a bit pale and not very comfortable.

[t3tsubo]

CJ is almost definetely injured, his back looks hurt

[eaglehelang]

Chn will guarantee 1 titles from WD and 2 almost in the bag. Unless FHF/ CY and HHB/YY messed pretty badly in final. (The other XD semifinal had not been play yet)

The hard part and very even fight will be in WS: Tine VS WYH............

.

The Korea MD is pretty good too, though Hwang has a new partner, they can make it hard for Fu/cai.

[t3tsubo]

CJ retires from injury at 11-6.
The Nadal Federer matchup of badminton - LD vs LCW is set.
