2009 Swiss Open: Day 4 (Quarter-Finals) Friday March 13

[robin7]

Xiao Mao is gonna win again... My livestream sucks..

[suetyan]

It is better WYH to win this match instead of ZM. If not, tomorrow, LL v ZM, LL will cry again, haha.. LL should thanks to Yihan :D

[robin7]

Beautiful netshot by ZM, 11-15..

[george@chongwei]

Beautiful netshot by ZM, 11-15..
at last u can watch already?:D

[suetyan]

Yihan still looks so fierce on the court, haha... 19-16 Yihan leading, 2 more points, Yihan jiayou!!

[yen_saw]

match point for WYH again...and she won!

[suetyan]

yo, Yihan won!!!! 21-11, 23-21!! Yeah!! I think I can score better in the test tomorrow :D

[demolidor]

:D What a cheapass service judge asking for WYH's shirt :p.

[Emile]

Yihan won :D

Struggled a bit towards the end of the set, but pulled it out.

[george@chongwei]

:D What a cheapass service judge asking for WYH's shirt :p.
yeah, thats right:D
i was like..wtf?? what the service judge is asking wyh..:D

[suetyan]

I think LL envies xiao mao very much, haha.. because xiao mao makes her head to head with ZM to 3-0, but LL head to head with ZM is 0-6 :D

[suetyan]

yeah, thats right:D
i was like..wtf?? what the service judge is asking wyh..:D
haha, yaya, it is my first time saw a service judge so 'thick face' :p

[Amin Khalili]

First match is about to start...

you live at putra height?

[robin7]

I can sense another upset.... Andrew Smith over Chen Jin... :p

[robin7]

:D What a cheapass service judge asking for WYH's shirt :p.


haha, yaya, it is my first time saw a service judge so 'thick face' :p
What's wrong with asking shirt from player? :p

[george@chongwei]

What's wrong with asking shirt from player? :p
btw, the line judge is a male or female?:p:confused:

[suetyan]

What's wrong with asking shirt from player? :p
because I have not asked Yihan for shirt, the service judge has already asked :(

[george@chongwei]

totally 'dominant' play by chen jin;)

[george@chongwei]

because I have not asked Yihan for shirt, the service judge has already asked :(
what about me??:(

[yen_saw]

I can sense another upset.... Andrew Smith over Chen Jin... :p

If Andrew Smith is from CHN needing more ranking points yeah there is a chance for upset:p

[george@chongwei]

yess! pi hong yan won the 1st set;)

[robin7]

I think LL envies xiao mao very much, haha.. because xiao mao makes her head to head with ZM to 3-0, but LL head to head with ZM is 0-6 :D
But LL is 2-0 over WYH. Simply because the 2 wins were during the Olympic qualifying period. :rolleyes:

[suetyan]

But LL is 2-0 over WYH. Simply because the 2 wins were during the Olympic qualifying period. :rolleyes:
Don't forget, Xiao Mao has transformed into Da Mao :D She is not the previous WYH anymore, I have faith in her :)

[george@chongwei]

hehe , and as usual, andrew smith with his going to beach outfit again when playing badminton:D
quite funny though:p

[teddbaker]

1st set CJ 21-10

[george@chongwei]

1st game won by chen jin 21-10.
quite easy:rolleyes:
camon andrew, give some fight.

[george@chongwei]

wow, backhand smash!!:eek:
chen jin up 1-0 now

[nicolas33]

last week got back injury until unabled to finish the second set, then Wednesday started play and today plays very well. Chen Jin deserve to win "OSCAR"

[yen_saw]

I wonder if CJ will repeat his injury vs LD tomorrow ;)

[teddbaker]

maybe his wearing waist support this time... besides it could be that CJ too good for Andrew

[hcpoirot]

Andrew Smith is just not in CJ league even if CJ not 100% fit. As simple as that. Only a miracle can Andrew win over CJ.

Another easy match tonight.

[robin7]

Wondering which court will LCW-TH be playing? Hopefully many have gone to bed by then... so less lagging...

[yen_saw]

CJ and PI into Semi.....

[teddbaker]

CJ Wins... too easy

[yen_saw]

GUess the WD will come next before the match of the day...

[nicolas33]

What is andrew smith doing there? He love to end the match as soon as possible. What a shame

[robin7]

Both matches ended at the same time...

What's next?

[george@chongwei]

yep, its too easy for cj..

[madbad]

Those watching the Pi v Schenk match will have been impressed by Pi's guts. She overcame an early deficit and then returned everything Schenk threw at her. This is a good comeback for Pi after her early exit in the AE.
21-18, 21-13

[george@chongwei]

Both matches ended at the same time...

What's next?
yep, so coincident!
next should be wd and lee chong wei's match on court 2;)

[george@chongwei]

Those watching the Pi v Schenk match will have been impressed by Pi's guts. She overcame an early deficit and then returned everything Schenk threw at her. This is a good comeback for Pi after her early exit in the AE.
21-18, 21-13
wonder what pi is doing after that match..standing in the middle of the ocurt waving to her fans?:D
hey, i just observed nicely and noticed that after every match, the line judge will talks something to the winner..hmm, wonder what are they talking about?:confused: asking for the winners shirt??:D

[madbad]

Both matches ended at the same time...

What's next?

WD first, followed shortly by MS on the other court

[madbad]

wonder what pi is doing after that match..standing in the middle of the ocurt waving to her fans?:D
hey, i just observed nicely and noticed that after every match, the line judge will talks something to the winner..hmm, wonder what are they talking about?:confused: asking for the winners shirt??:D

She's waving at me of course. You should know by now geroge :D:D

[demolidor]

What's wrong with asking shirt from player? :p

That's like a football referee asking for *insert famous footballer's name * shirt after the match. You're an official for pete's sake :p.

[george@chongwei]

looks like chong wei-th match coming up next.
are you guys ready?:)

[george@chongwei]

She's waving at me of course. You should know by now geroge :D:D
i've got chong wei waving to me later maybe:D

[madbad]

Now big Lee and little Lee v Shendy and Mel. The KOR Lees are one of my favourite pairs. The little Lee (LKW) is as feisty as they get. The big Lee (LHJ) is like a gentle giant. Great chemistry.

[george@chongwei]

the two pair of the wd match are warming up now

[george@chongwei]

Now big Lee and little Lee v Shendy and Mel. The KOR Lees are one of my favourite pairs. The little Lee (LKW) is as feisty as they get. The big Lee (LHJ) is like a gentle giant. Great chemistry.
haha, the big Lee and the Little Lee..
what about Lee chong wei then?:rolleyes:?

[madbad]

haha, the big Lee and the Little Lee..
what about Lee chong wei then?:rolleyes:?

Skinny Lee :D:D

[george@chongwei]

ahh, i can see the korean flag fying high right behind the korean wd side of the court..:)

[george@chongwei]

[madbad]

Holy***. Little Lee played all but a couple of shots in that 30+ stroke rally

[george@chongwei]

Skinny Lee :D:D
Naughty Madbad:D

[badadum]

Snack bowls filled, jugs overflowing......time to root for Mel/Shendy!!!! :D

[madbad]

KOR Lees power ahead 6-0

[madbad]

Snack bowls filled, jugs overflowing......time to root for Mel/Shendy!!!! :D

Hey, it's lunch time where you are. Jugs overflowing with beer? Sounds like a nice lunch :D

[george@chongwei]

1st time heard LHJ shouts so loud:eek:

[george@chongwei]

Hey, it's lunch time where you are. Jugs overflowing with beer? Sounds like a nice lunch :D
meanwhile, what meal should i take right now?
any ideas?:D

[badadum]

lethargic performance so far from Mel/Shendy....

[madbad]

meanwhile, what meal should i take right now?
any ideas?:D

Beer is good at anytime :D

[yen_saw]

12:3 to the KOR. It is a massacre right now.... just like the CJ vs AS game

[madbad]

lethargic performance so far from Mel/Shendy....

They do look a little disinterested. Do they always carry themselves this way?

[george@chongwei]

hey, i heard some glass sound.
what the heck is going on there?:D

[george@chongwei]

Beer is good at anytime :D
what about red wine?:p
let's celebrate together if chong wei wins later;)

[madbad]

what about red wine?:p
let's celebrate together if chong wei wins later;)

I never say no to wine of any sort ;)

[george@chongwei]

omg, faster start that damn ms match:mad:

[george@chongwei]

I never say no to wine of any sort ;)
im afraid i had to drive the ambulance for you later:p

[george@chongwei]

wow, totally dominant for this korea pair in this 1st set.
up 19-5 now.

[madbad]

Mel & Shendy look short on ideas. They don't seem to be moving too well either

[george@chongwei]

ok, i heard that announcement..
is that the annoucement about ms match?
yes, i heard lee chong wei's name!:)

[madbad]

im afraid i had to drive the ambulance for you later:p

You're drinking too. Better let eaglehelang drive :D

[madbad]

That was an utterly boring game. The crowd doesn't seem that into it either.

[george@chongwei]

You're drinking too. Better let eaglehelang drive :D
then it will be more worse..
she wil Flew us:D
let jasonmarc with his standby emergency mode ambulance do the job:D

[madbad]

Noticed that TH has decided not to take on LCW at the net today in case LCW reads his intent and pounces on it (like in the AE).

[Smichz]

Nice smash from Taufik..12-7!

[2cents]

Taufik sounds regrouped from last encounter

[madbad]

That's it. Lee/Lee from KOR wins in a romp. Easy PAW points for everyone

[george@chongwei]

[madbad]

TH playing a much smarter game

[demolidor]

[Noridayu]

LCW wins 21-12 in the 2nd game.

[carine]

yes,LCW took 2nd set,21-12

[badadum]

Looks like TH trying to gauge in the 1st half of 2nd set whether to go for it or not...then totally give it up in the 2nd half.
