very long applause by the crowd.

[Noridayu]

What a battle at LCW makes it to SF tomorrow. Well done, Mas supporters for keeping our hands and hearts together.

[george@chongwei]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!! lee chong wei made it!!:)

[Smichz]

I guess it will be a repeat of AE MS final afterall

Yes,i guess so.LCW still couldn't get over the OG08 defeat yet..

[robin7]

Yes, Lee Chong Wei won over Taufik Hidayat 21-23 21-12 21-19 in 65 mins.

[yen_saw]

A heart breaking lost by TH he did match LCW point by point, good game for both heroes

[george@chongwei]

just now the last show of the match was really interesting!!
backhand smash summore:D

[dassad]

oh i just came home and connected to video - at the match point!

[joelabb]

Mannn! This is the best match between them. My heart was beating all the time...Ah Wei Bolehhh!

[dassad]

oh i see it was great battle

[george@chongwei]

here's the situation in live streaming mode:D:D

[nicolas33]

i think TH smash was IN..!!!

[Smichz]

I wanna watch some more TH backhand smashing LD..hehe..but guess i have to wait until then.

[george@chongwei]

i think TH smash was IN..!!!
no,it was clearly out:(

[Noridayu]

LCW will meet Denmark and LD will meet CJ. Will CJ give LD a win again? KKK and TBH will meet China pairs.

[teddbaker]

heartbreaking... i was really rooting for TH although i know LCW has a score to settle over LD. I just thought TH might give LD a good fight. Both men deserve to win.

[george@chongwei]

ok, lee chong wei won!
who wants celebrate with me:D?

[dassad]

im not a fan of him but unexpectedly i felt so sympathetic for him. he really played well last point

[Noridayu]

George, thank you clarifying it.

[yen_saw]

So Malaysia have one MS and one MD still in Semi

[joelabb]

Did anyone count how many shuttles they used? Even 1 point they changed it. They must be using low quality shuttlecock.

[george@chongwei]

George, thank you clarifying it.
you're welcome;)

[george@chongwei]

Did anyone count how many shuttles they used? Even 1 point they changed it. They must be using low quality shuttlecock.
THE BRAND OF THE SHUTTLE IS WI****..hehe:D

I hope that LCW will win against the Danes tomorrow and also KKK and TBH to win so that we can see them play in 1st super series final.

[CESC THE GREAT]

[demolidor]

It's wilson's shuttle,n maybe it was preety dry out there.It's still winter there,rite?But last time in AE,they never change the shuttle that rapid..

It's 11-14 degrees celcius in Basel, about 80% humidity.

[robin7]

OMG, the JPN pair is so short...

[joelabb]

It's wilson's shuttle,n maybe it was preety dry out there.It's still winter there,rite?But last time in AE,they never change the shuttle that rapid..

I think Yonex still the best.

Damn i really missed Roti Canai.... the Malaysian restaurant here isn't so good:(

[madbad]

Money, baby, MONEY!. Thanks LYB

[madbad]

too bad the last shot was out by TH, it was a very good rally and LCW was in trouble

very long applause by the crowd.

I had to run out :crying::crying: Sounds like the crowd appreciated their efforts

[madbad]

I noticed many of those who wore YELLOW won today

[madbad]

Hmmm... yellow (LYD/SBC) wins again

[madbad]

Thais are in RED, CHN are in YELLOW in this XD match. Guess who'll win

[francothegreat]

ahhh overslept and realized i missed LCW and TH's game!!!:crying:

wow the thai are holding their own against the all england champion :cool:

[yen_saw]

Gez the AE XD champ get thrashed by the Thai XD

[madbad]

Thais are playing very well, contrary to their recent form

[Koi^^]

Sudket's jump smashes are always a welcome sight to behold.

he's quite energetic

[madbad]

Dang, the Thais are pulling away. They're playing a beautiful game. 17-12

[venkatesh]

Is this for real? It's so unlikely. The Thais are dominating. Their defense position is different. Sudket stands in the middle court. The Chinese should smash cross more often.

[madbad]

Thais win, Thais win! What an upset. Inspiring stuff

[francothegreat]

wow who would have thought? the all england champion joins the upset list :p

[venkatesh]

OMG! The Thais won :eek::eek::eek:

I hope I also play like them later. I have a tournament. Mixed and Men's doubles. It's past 5 am here. I've only had 2 hours of sleep. :(


BCers. Please cross your fingers and wish me luck.

[madbad]

Imagine yourself as Sudket, the Thai Superman. He was awesome

[narnia]

Yeah, I saw the AE champion just dominated by Thai Expresssssss! :)
Sudket's netkills made it!

Damn i really missed Roti Canai.... the Malaysian restaurant here isn't so good:(

the bottleneck is saralee;)
see my profile"D

[badMania]

Sigh....as feared, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir lost yet again to a new pair, this time Zheng Bo/Ma Jin. The coaches really need to consider splitting them and pairing Liliyana with either Mohd Rijal or Fran Kurniawan for a more potent combi.

As for Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati, they lost to the senior KOR pair Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung. No shame in that as they reach their QF target.

Taufik Hidayat also did his best in stretching Lee Chong Wei to the limit (3-sets) and close scores till the very end. Good luck to him in the India Open where he will probably meet Lee again in the Final.

[jasonmarc]

Great to know...LCW won the first thing in this lovely morning .....

Watched the match on livestream last night. The World Champs didn't lose on Zheng Bo's power, they were caught off-guard by well-disguised dropshot placements. The body language didn't show confidence. I would have expected Lily to teach Ma Jin a thing or two about frontcourt dominance.

[george@chongwei]

Money, baby, MONEY!. Thanks LYB
hey madbad, where are you yesterday?
i nearly faint yesterday ..did u know that?:rolleyes::p
btw, did u enjoy my beer and wine?;)

[george@chongwei]

2 roti canai please:D canada style:p


anyway, i have to admit that yesterday match between chong wei-taufik was superb!
lots of smashing made by both of them. and i can see a few times th doing backhand smash, in fact , the last shot of the match the backhand smash was being played too:eek:
they smash here smash there..looks like a smashing competition though:D

luckily , lee chong wei won the match.
phew:p

[jasonmarc]

Really, Some said TH's stamina is suspected, but seems like its not true with those hard smashes for a duration of 1.06 hours.......TH still looks fit....:p

[phaarix]

The stamina thing has not been a problem for quite a while now I think. He's been frequently stretched to three sets, and won many of them too.

[george@chongwei]

Really, Some said TH's stamina is suspected, but seems like its not true with those hard smashes for a duration of 1.06 hours.......TH still looks fit....:p
lots of his smashes in the 2nd set seems not accurate and hard enough.
he seems to conserve some energy for the 3rd set..it looks like that.
again, i can see so many dots all over all post:D

[madbad]

hey madbad, where are you yesterday?
i nearly faint yesterday ..did u know that?:rolleyes::p
btw, did u enjoy my beer and wine?;)

Haha, thanks george for your alcoholic beverages. I'm sure you enjoyed them, maybe to excess. I had to run out after the 1st game. By the time I got back, the TH v LCW match was over. Sounded like a lot of tension in the rubber. Glad you survived to see another day. :)

[jasonmarc]

The stamina thing has not been a problem for quite a while now I think. He's been frequently stretched to three sets, and won many of them too.

Agree,..;).....With TH have built up his stamina.....he is becoming more and more dangerous in future.....:D:D

[jasonmarc]

lots of his smashes in the 2nd set seems not accurate and hard enough.
he seems to conserve some energy for the 3rd set..it looks like that.
again, i can see so many dots all over all post:D

Sorry :o, its reducing, still have to try harder to correct this habit.:o:p

..should read kwun's take on the TH vs. LCW's QF match in the "Taufik Hidayat at the 2009 Swiss Open" thread..;)

[ctjcad]

..the Singles matches dominated this thread, esp. the WYH vs. ZM's & TH vs. LCW's matches...

heart attack moment coming up
..one of the rarest moments for George to log in and join BC. Usually you'd already be sitting in front of your telly watching your fave MS player..;)

looks like the shuttle is not durable at all.
after every shot has to change a new one:eek:
..they forgot to steam the shuttles..;)

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
..yeah, and it doesn't get any harder for PiHY starting in the Semifinals, does it??..;)

because I have not asked Yihan for shirt, the service judge has already asked :(
..i'm wondering, is the service judge the same size & height as WYH??..:confused:

that's right, but those smashing sound certainly are nice to hear:D
at least better than 'that guy' commentary;):rolleyes:

HEY! I like that guy's commentary. Keeps me entertained
..anyone else noticed Gill Clark has been partnering with Larsen for the broadcast, at least during the recently ended AE??..is this temporary??..
