Keep us update, will ya. Thanks

2 "Jiang Yanjiao"s are playing at the same time...

Zhou Mi appears to be a bit of tired and laid-back. Jiang leads 18-13...

Mistake after mistake by Zhou Mi, Jiang Yanjiao takes the 1st game 21-13...

4 errors by ZM, JYJ is 4-0 up...

Mistake after mistake by Zhou Mi, Jiang Yanjiao takes the 1st game 21-13...
If Jiang Yanjiao meets Wang Xin in the final, that will be "The Battle Of The Twins" :D

Landed in. ZM levels @ 6-6... Oops, 7-6 in ZM's favor... 7-all...

If Jiang Yanjiao meets Wang Xin in the final, that will be "The Battle Of The Twins" :D
I hope to watch this battle too :D Between, what is the score between WX and WSX?

A more aggressive play by ZM, 11-8 up...

A more aggressive play by ZM, 11-8 up...

Yeah, go ZM! Aunty power! :D:D

ZM back controlling the game, 11-8.

JYJ sends out after the shuttle got deflected off the net.

ZM outfoxes JYJ, forces her back and sends a crosscourt drop.

ZM is in control, 13-8 now... More winners by ZM...

11-4 for Wang xin
11-8 for Zhou mi

JYJ whacks wide, ZM 14-9

come on Wang Xin.. revenge, revenge :D

ZM 17-9 and JYJ looks to just gift this game away.

JYJ is the one who's making mistakes @ this mo and ZM is in commanding lead @ 17-9...

Yeah, go ZM! Aunty power! :D:D
ZM will be sad if you call her aunty at her age :p

ZM mishits, 11-17 JYJ.

come on Wang Xin.. revenge, revenge :D

now u tells me:D

Good rally buildup but JYJ wasted it with a wild shot.

I saw fastdrop on the TV... Meanwhile ZM is 19-12 up..

JYJ's forehand defence is very good.

ZM will be sad if you call her aunty at her age :p

I quite like her actually... aunty or not :):D

Yup, fastdrop is seated behind JYJ, first row.

The match between WX-WSX had ended. I'm not sure what happened. Retirement?

come on Wang Xin.. revenge, revenge :D

HEY!! I thought you were an unbiased CHN supporter ;):D

Zhou Mi takes the 2nd game 21-14...

Yeah, go ZM! Aunty power! :D:D
Auntie? :mad:
She's only 30.

Auntie? :mad:
She's only 30.

CEH/WPT... weren't they referred to as Aunties just recently?

ZM... did you say ONLY? hehe

HEY!! I thought you were an unbiased CHN supporter ;):D
yes, I am. Because last week Wang Shixian defeated Wang Xin, so this week, it is Wang Xin's turn to defeat Wang Shixian :D 1 - 1 only fair :D

What a smash down the line by ZM, 1-1...

ZM's backhand is weak, real weak.

JYJ always forces ZM to play with backhand

Yup, fastdrop is seated behind JYJ, first row.
Who's the lady sitting on his right? Where's Hauge?

ZM gasping for breath though she's back in the lead.

yes, I am. Because last week Wang Shixian defeated Wang Xin, so this week, it is Wang Xin's turn to defeat Wang Shixian :D 1 - 1 only fair :D

A true blue "communist" :p:D (jk, of course)

JYJ clear just wide.

ZM 1 pt up from a long JYJ serve.

CL and ZWL just coming on court.

no update of WX and WSX match? :confused:

Chen Long and Zhou Wenlong were being introduced by the announcer on court 1.

no update of WX and WSX match? :confused:
I guess WSX had reitred.

ZM careless and some PAWers have better hopes.

Wang Xin vs. JYJ will be very interesting. those two look and play alike.

Makes sense, if ZM were to progress, CHN needs WX to tire her out.

Wang Xin already won

ZM looks very tired.

tight net shot. ZM 12-15 JYJ.

ZM returns to the game.

JYJ smartly moving ZM around the court.

JYJ starting to whack smashes as she reaches the finishing line.

4 match pts for JYJ..... 4 saved by ZM..... Deuce...

Zhou try to power it through. intersting that she used to last only 1 1/2 games. now seems to be a bit more fit?

JYJ 17-15 ZM

ZM's backhand is weak, real weak.
JYJ always forces ZM to play with backhand
..JYJ also has a not so strong backhand, if i recall..

Great smash by ZM, match pt for ZM 21-20 from 16-20 down...

6 straght pts by ZM to seal the match 13-21 21-14 22-20...

ZM defeated JYJ!!

The auntie does magic!!!! 6 straight pts to deny PAWers and play WX in the final.

no more The Twins battle :D

The auntie does magic!!!! 6 straight pts to deny PAWers and play WX in the final.

Aunty Power! Aunty Power! :D:D:D

ZM won 22-20 from 16-20

JYJ had 4 match points at 20-16. and then she seemed to have turned off and forgotten how to win a point. ZM capitalized on it and took the game 22-20.

even ZM gave a little smile at the end.

so happy ZM is in the finals. :D

no more The Twins battle :D

man. i was totally looking forward to it!

..if not mistaken, i noticed ZM just gave fastdrop a high-five just as she was walking off the court..*fastdrop wearing a yellow yonex shirt??..

I guess WSX had reitred.

Sorry, but check this out (AHEM)... post #37

So happy I didn't PAW JYJ

when JYJ was at match point 20-16, I were a bit regret of now pawing her. Fortunately... :D

..if not mistaken, i noticed ZM just gave fastdrop a high-five just as she was walking off the court..*fastdrop wearing a yellow yonex shirt??..
No. fastdrop is wearing a white shirt.

Guangdong Sports, tvants has it.

..GDTV with TVAnts..

Hu Yun's body language & movements, footwork, the way he plays remind me somewhat like Taufik..A Taufik Hidayat-wannabe..;)

Yeah. That's why WSX retired. :D

when JYJ was at match point 20-16, I were a bit regret of now pawing her. Fortunately... :D
I thought u did thru PM... Hehe... Anyway, JYJ should have won!

I still remember how she lost to Tine in All England when she's in a commanding lead in the 2nd game.

That's why she is not favored by LYB due to her poor H2H to outsiders and lack of mental toughness. Poor gal.

Du Pengyu (CHN) vs. Hu Yun (HKG)

DUPY is a bit unstable. not very smooth movement at all.

HY on the other hand is very calm and smooth.

Chen Long won 1st set

where did this Hu Yun guy come from? haven't seen him before the last couple of tournaments.

Yeah. That's why WSX retired. :D

yes, she repeated the similar mistakes as in AE 2009 against Tine :( That's why nowadays none of the chinese youngsers are perfect. Let's see JYJ, she has good records against teammates but not outsiders. WYH has good results against outsiders but not teammates :(

Du Pengyu (CHN) vs. Hu Yun (HKG)

DUPY is a bit unstable. not very smooth movement at all.

HY on the other hand is very calm and smooth.
Dupy! I like it... Dupy and Yippy... Hehe...

where did this Hu Yun guy come from? haven't seen him before the last couple of tournaments.
If I recall correctly, he is originally from Hubei, same province as Gao Ling, Zhao Yunlei

HY is like the worst nightmare of anybody. when DUPY is dashing around the court like a madman, HY seems like he is having a stroll in the park, relaxed easy movement but yet getting to every shots that DUPY throw at him with ease.

where did this Hu Yun guy come from? haven't seen him before the last couple of tournaments.
China-born player. He's been quite active in challeger and GP tourneys. He's not a stranger as far as PAW is concerned. :D

HY reads DUPY so well.

Dupy takes the 1st game 21-17.

..i really wanted Hu Yun to slam that racket after he netted a x-court slice shot..

someone's car is about to be towed away...

fastdrop is looking real bored as hell...DPY takes 1st game..

fastdrop sitting behind DuPY and a woman next to him yakking on the phone.

WTH, TS is still not updated yet.

HY should've taken the 1st game. if he had worked just little bit harder he will beat DUPY.

gotta give DuPY the credit for being a hard worker. never giving up. too bad talent and technique is not on his side.

What a defense by HY, 5-3...

Aunty Power! Aunty Power! :D:D:D
One more "Aunty" out of you... and I'll let Zhou Mi know what you posted :mad:

Looks like CL-ZWL match goes into a rubber...

What a defense by HY, 5-3...

some people like HY have amazing reaction time as if they can read the opponent's mind.

i am NOT one of them. :(

One more "Aunty" out of you... and I'll let Zhou Mi know what you posted :mad:

Please do. I'd like to meet her :D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!


GD sports stops showing badminton and now showing some stupid volleyball..

any other channels?

HY is in control when he's aggressive, 16-10 up...

Zhou W.L took 2nd
Chen Long led 15-11 in 3rd

Damn,....GD-sport stop telecast baddy.....

Du Pengyu (CHN) vs. Hu Yun (HKG)

DUPY is a bit unstable. not very smooth movement at all.

HY on the other hand is very calm and smooth.
The speedbreaker on China's road now seems to be Hong Kong, not Malaysia or Indonesia. Just when everything seems set, along comes a Zhou Mi or a Hu Yun to upset the applecart.

Damn,....GD-sport stop telecast baddy.....
Maybe they are owned by Malaysia's RTM.
That's the station that cuts to yawny stuff during a live sports event.
They completely screwed up the Malaysia GP telecast.

ZWL is changing his shirt... HY leads 16-12...

HY requests the floor to be mopped, 18-13 up.

HY just needs to be relaxed and he can take this match.

Bad for my PAW, though, should that happen.

More aggressive play by HY + erratic play by Dupy => HY takes the 2nd game 21-14...

Chen Long Won
HY vs DPY in rubber

HY just needs to be relaxed and he can take this match.

Bad for my PAW, though, should that happen.
Abang, don't u worry! Basically, everyone PAW-ed DPY over HY. It makes no difference!

looks like GDTV thought the match wasn't as interesting so they cut off the webcast and instead prefer to show the long-legged volleyball ladies instead...oh well..try again tomorrow..

Dupy leads 4-2 in the decider. Oops 4-all after 2 errors by Dupy.

2 excellent net play by HY and an error by Dupy gives HY a 7-4 lead.

7-all... HY 11-7 up...

can some1 update the match of chau/chan vs GL/WYL? i tink is starting now
thx

might be a reason why LYB cannot find tall ladies for WS anymore. they all went to play volleyball!

..if not volleyball, then basketball...oh wait, do they have a WNBA type league in China, just for ladies??..

can some1 update the match of chau/chan vs GL/WYL? i tink is starting now
thx
Court 1 is now playing MD. I guess it's a WO in WD?

Well, HY does play with more intelligence, might as well lose this PAW .....

Meanwhile HY has 10 match pts. 3 saved.

Chen Long vs Hu Yun in MS final.

Hu Yun beat Du Pengyu 17-21 21-14 21-13.

Court 1 is now playing MD. I guess it's a WO in WD?

Hu Yun beat Du Pengyu 17-21 21-14 21-13.

Seems like chn's back up also like Mas back ups.....not consistant at all....:D

Shendy Puspa IRAWATI / Meiliana JAUHARI and Rie ETO / Yu WAKITA are warming up now...

The JPN gals are so skinny compared to INA pair... :eek:

Bona?ahsan won 1st set. And now leading 19-13 in second set.

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 11-7

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 14-9

Mel/Shendy still not moving enough.

This is a tale of unforced errors. Not a badminton match.

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 19-13

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15

This is a tale of unforced errors. Not a badminton match.
Sounds not interesting to watch :D
I hope they will show the 'rea'l badminton match in second set

Lightweight Japanese guns fire repeatedly until shuttle hits the net.

Indonesian heavy cannons smashing thru the huge PAW pts.

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15 11-6

Finally Bona and Ahsan win.

Ahsan/Bona won...

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15 14-8

Bona/Ahsan won! set 2: 21-17

when is gao ling and wei yili match?

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15 15-13

The service looks clearly wide but the linesman called it in and the umpire didn't overrule. Point to INA 17-13... Huge pt! It should have been 14-16 to JPN and JPN was robbed on that pt!

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15 20-13

Shendy/Meiliana beat Rie/Yu : 21-15 21-13

Shendy/Meiliana v Rie/Yu : 21-15 20-13

The baseline linejudge did not make a call on the service, whether long or short. It was not only wide, it was long.

Both linejudges got it wrong and the umpire didn't take up the matter.

Since some of us were "robbed" of the big PAW, can we claim, Sandy? :p

Looked like Gao Ling will play in TV court

At least one title for Indonesia...
We cannot have more than one title.

We cannot have more than one title.

Women's doubles?

Gao/Wei won 21-15 21-15

Women's doubles?
Yes, Thank Shendy/Meli for creating a chance of winning WD tomorow.

Women's doubles?
i would really appreciate shendy/meiliana if they can defeat gao ling/wei yili, unfortunately they can't although there is still some chances.

So all-CHN-final tomorrow in XD, Qiu Zihan/Deng Yuting vs Chen Zhiben/Zhang Jinkang.

XD Deng/Qiu won
correction to the winner. It should be Zhang Nan/Lu Lu bt Qiu Zihan/Deng Yuting 21-13, 21-12 (according to TS)

I guess WSX had reitred.
According to TS, she's not retired. So confirmation of the score of this match is Wang Xin bt Wang Shixian 21-13, 21-6

might be a reason why LYB cannot find tall ladies for WS anymore. they all went to play volleyball!


You have so sense of humor i think. if they have all the tall play volleyball, they could win gold.

CEH/WPT... weren't they referred to as Aunties just recently?

ZM... did you say ONLY? hehe
hey, WPT/CEH not auntie yet, told you already mah.:p

Aunty Power! Aunty Power! :D:D:D
Haiseh, call her big sis lah, anyway, I pawed her to win, hehe

One more "Aunty" out of you... and I'll let Zhou Mi know what you posted :mad:
Like that ah, you can get :mad: at someone else who called WPT/CEH "Msian aunties"(not madbad).:p

Maybe they are owned by Malaysia's RTM.
That's the station that cuts to yawny stuff during a live sports event.
They completely screwed up the Malaysia GP telecast.
LOL, I've emailed them to complain, in malay of course. If next time happen again, maybe more people should write - letter better, email dunno if they read or not, since they're still so old-fashioned.;)
