[madbad]

XHW is getting Schenked 13-10

[madbad]

still close to impossible. if GWJ wins, it would b the biggest comeback i ever seen under the NSS

Wasn't HH's collapse to LHI the biggest? Was is LHI?

[simonlovers]

Bye2 gONG Weiji...

[cooler]

i dont recall that one.

[simonlovers]

eh..still give attack...
wew.....

[madbad]

i dont recall that one.

I think LHI came back from 10-20 to win, or something ludicrous like that. My memory on it is not too good either. If someone can help, please do.

It's all moot now as TH closes it out 21-14

[cooler]

well, good effort by gwj to make the score look respectable tho

[madbad]

"Bloody Match Fixing!!" :D:D

[badadum]

Surprised to see GWJ's the one that run out of steam in rubber game.....
Maybe TH's stamina has improved, however slight that might be??

[cooler]

"Bloody Match Fixing!!" :D:D
i just notice that the brit like to use the prenoun 'bloody' while the chinese like to use the equivalent as 'dead', like dead this and that...

[2cents]

Well just took a toilet break and it is 16:9 now?!?!


still close to impossible. if GWJ wins, it would b the biggest comeback i ever seen under the NSS.

Impossible coming back to win from 9:16 ???

Please check the just finished All England open WS semi, trailing 0:1, Tine came back from 2nd game 4:14, 7:16, and 9:17 and won against Yanjiao Jiang in the 2nd game and 3rd game.

[bananakid]

Wasn't HH's collapse to LHI the biggest? Was is LHI?

Asian games06 MS QF LHI came back from 9-20 to winning 22-20 against Hafiz

[yen_saw]

So far GWJ is the only CHN player lost to opponent other than their own compatriat.

[madbad]

Asian games06 MS QF LHI came back from 9-20 to winning 22-20 against Hafiz

Haha, and I gave HH credit (I said 10-20). Only HH can own such a dubious record. Thanks bananakid

[madbad]

Hey cooler, it is match-fixing. Schenk won the 2nd 21-14

[cooler]

Asian games06 MS QF LHI came back from 9-20 to winning 22-20 against Hafizthx for the info. i didn't knew that. HH take the crown as having biggest mental breakdown (in badminton)

[madbad]

Good match between Hsieh and Anand. The Indian leads 11-10 at the break

[cooler]

the chinese tomboys kicking butts of those tall russians

[cooler]

Good match between Hsieh and Anand. The Indian leads 11-10 at the breakso there is hope on my YHH paw:)
17-15 for YHH

[aZn_Popcorn]

YHH wins 21-17 in rubber, yes!

[cooler]

YHH wins 21-17 in rubber, yes!

YES! my belief in YHH still hold!!:)
thx for saving my paw.The 1st set almost gave me an heart attack

[madbad]

Did anyone PAW Schenk? Upset looming, leads 16-13

[aZn_Popcorn]

yes my PAW-opponent did :(

[madbad]

yes my PAW-opponent did :(

Kinda sucks, huh? Looks like Schenk will close it out. 20-16

[cooler]

look like LD is napping on 1st set again

[madbad]

Kitten (lu yi :D) playing well against the lion

[madbad]

So funny, LD is letting Kitten do all the smashing

[Wong8Egg]

Haha, and I gave HH credit (I said 10-20). Only HH can own such a dubious record. Thanks bananakid

Is this real??? from 9-20 down? lol
Anyone has the video? I would like to see the expression on Hafizi's face. :p

[madbad]

Poor Jao Jie. She really is a shadow of her former self. Pi won't be far behind

[yen_saw]

wow GUO/XU saved 5 set points to deuce... but lost 20:22. Rubber set!

i rather see the expression on misbun's face:p

[jamesd20]

I am watching battle of KLRC - LTS vs Sairul. I am rooting for sairul. WOnder who wins in training.

Rubber set here.

[jamesd20]

sairul doing all the dictating in final game. LTS at his mercy

[jamesd20]

I wish Sairul was fitter and more motivated. He has such control and skill shame.

He has LTS on a string.

10-6

[jamesd20]

Easy finalgame vistory for Sairul............

[madbad]

Easy finalgame vistory for Sairul............

LTS is not known for his gas tank, which once again has been found wanting

[aZn_Popcorn]

10 consecutive points by ZL to force a rubber game

[sickgal]

ZL is out from the SO............... impressive saina...

[badMania]

So, only Taufik Hidayat, Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati and Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir manage to progress to QF. Out of these 3, most will likely get beaten.

Similar to last week, Taufik will have a rematch with Lee Chong Wei. Mel/Shendy will test the third-seed Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung. And Nova/Butet will face CHN new XD pairing of Zheng Bo/Ma Jin.

Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra lost in rubber-sets to Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol; while Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii lost in straight-sets to Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl.

[limsy]

just wake up....many surprise winner....congrates

[eaglehelang]

sairul doing all the dictating in final game. LTS at his mercy

When it's Sairol vs LTS, if Sairol is fresher, for sure Sairol will win. Otherwise, it's 65%-35% in favour Sairol.

[ctjcad]

Ai Goto looks pretty cute...wish camera had close-up view so I can get a better look haha
..your eyes, here are some of her close-up view pics during last week's AE (courtesy of yahoo! sports)..;)

[george@chongwei]

wow, as expected koo/tan and co won their matches.
but too dissapointed with the fuzzy to be honest though..
