[badMania]

Hmm...with He Hanbin/Yu Yang's defeat, surely, it's a excellent opportunity for Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir to progress to their their World Championships FINAL?

[Tjun Tjun]

Real fightback by Danes.....5 points down but now 9-9...........

[aulia]

Super tight between CHN vs DEN XD. MJ/ZB up 1 point. 10-9

[Tjun Tjun]

Hmm...with He Hanbin/Yu Yang's defeat, surely, it's a excellent opportunity for Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir to progress to their their World Championships FINAL?

[Chibot]

Wow, danes mixed pair wins, congrats. Bye2 ZB/MJ :)

[jasonmarc]

Yes, ZB/MJ is out......congratulation the Danish xd...

[kar_mun]

Oh my, the same thing happen in set 3. danes won 22-20, 11-21, 22-20. Congratulations to the danish pair.

[simonlovers]

Yes!!!
forget about PAW...
no China cleenswepp...

[eRa@에라]

kekekeke... despite the loss I endure with my PAW, I'm now grinning like crazy :D :D... good job Danes!

[LD rules!]

match point danemark

And they take it!!!!

[zspeed]

1/5 of the wall is down the danes won 22 - 20

[abedeng]

You see, it's the World Championships where nothing is guaranteed, even for the strongest team on the planet.

CHN XD team is eliminated totally.

[Jagdpanther]

The path for LYD/LHJ to win WC is wide open now.
BCer's KOR statistician should be smiling happily by now.:rolleyes:

[LD rules!]

MJ/ZB are out !!!!!!!!!!!!

[DairyRon]

China lost all the XD... haha

[suetyan]

wow, all chinese XD sink boat. What happened :rolleyes: Even Yu Yang/He Hanbin also sink boat :rolleyes:

[eRa@에라]

Oh my, the same thing happen in set 3. danes won 22-20, 11-21, 22-20.


this is karma! :D:p:D

[Tjun Tjun]

Never happened before .....Chinese losing all 3 pairs in QFs.................

[Zealous]

Don't think I'll be able to make it for Chong wei's match...sobs.. will be out. haiz...All the best to him !!

[badMania]

History does repeat itself....with a 20-18 lead in both the first and decider sets, Zheng Bo/Ma Jin blew it away and at the end, Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl emerged as the victors after a gruelling 22-20, 11-21, 22-20 win over the hot favorite.

The statistics still show Zheng Bo yet again fail to prove himself in the real big stage: World Championships 2007 & 2009, Beijing Olympics 2008.

Now, with some luck, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir might just be facing 2 Danish pairs en route to the title, if Laybourn/Rytter-Juhl continue their good performance over Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung.

[simonlovers]

The path for LYD/LHJ to win WC is wide open now.
BCer's KOR statistician should be smiling happily by now.:rolleyes:
who's he/she ??

[aulia]

CHN vs DEN 1-2..........................waw

[jasonmarc]

Impressive,..the Danes have 2 pairs, Kor 1 pair and possibly INA or IND 1 pair....

[yunarinaldi]

Layborn/Juhl are quite great mentally..they never been down thought the opponents got match point..remember in the final of super series final??they defeated Nova/Lily in decider gam thogh they trailed 17-20..thumbs up for the Danes..

[simonlovers]

OMG...c'mon Simon..

[Chibot]

CJ leading 6-0 ?? come on Simon..wake up !!

[Redman]

well think LYD/LHY have got the XD title anyway but no chinese pair in the semis is ridiculous.

[Misty100]

CHN won't make a complete sweep afterall. 5 matches involving CHN players, 3 down so far.

[PIGGYGANONE]

HARD LUCK to CHN.

BOTH pairs perform impeccably.

But thr Danish pair jell better.

[Jagdpanther]

And Simon, please don't embarrass yourself...

There, better. 1 point.

[suetyan]

After the failure of ZB/MJ, I think the happiest pair would be LHJ/LYD :D I think they are afraid facing ZB/MJ :D

[badMania]

You see, it's the World Championships where nothing is guaranteed, even for the strongest team on the planet.

CHN XD team is eliminated totally.

Nothing is guaranteed.....that's for sure!

The 2 Danish XD pairs are certainly very formidable pairs....and they actually keep on improving :cool:

[qczhao]

Go Go Go Cj! ^^

[aulia]

jinx POLL leader...:D:D:D

[zspeed]

congrats to the long cool danes n JO is giving TH a tough time

[badMania]

After the failure of ZB/MJ, I think the happiest pair would be LHJ/LYD :D I think they are afraid facing ZB/MJ :D

Nova/Butet will be VERY HAPPY to have avoided ALL 4 CHN pairs as well. I believe they will rather play against Lee/Lee (whom they have beaten early this year) than Zheng Bo/Ma Jin (whom they have lost all 2 matches).

[Jagdpanther]

After the failure of ZB/MJ, I think the happiest pair would be LHJ/LYD :D I think they are afraid facing ZB/MJ :D
Sure thing. :D
Even if they win this WC, some will say, "Can only win if ZB/MJ are not around lah." Ha! :p

[abedeng]

Jorgensen had a bad line call and it's affecting his game. As I expected.

[kimchi123]

yeah.. all 3 china XD team beaten by Korea and denmark.. well done.. LYB must be very sad for can't have gold medal for mix double... hehehe

[jasonmarc]

jinx POLL leader...:D:D:D

Poll leader for WS and XD are gone now...who's next....? :rolleyes:

[Jessica]

The giant killer Denmark pair finish off Zheng/Ma...upset,upset...

[abedeng]

Jorgensen retakes initiative at the net.

[panasonic_chai]

any update on taufik match?

[simonlovers]

C'mon Simon..
use your netting ability !

[simonlovers]

any update on taufik match?
19-18 for Jorgensen in 2nd game..

[habsq]

TH - JOJ now 19 all... what a match...

[aulia]

Still very tight JOJ vs TH.

19 all. Please repeat 1st set! :D

[Jagdpanther]

who's he/she ??
See "LYD/JJS - Road to WR#1" thread in Professional Players sub-forum.
Then, see which BCer with most post promoting them.;)

Psst, s/he's online now.:p

[jasonmarc]

yeah.. all 3 china XD team beaten by Korea and denmark.. well done.. LYB must be very sad for can't have gold medal for mix double... hehehe

Actually the draw in XD is good that separated all Chn pair in the manner they wont meet each other to avoid possible 'fix' !.........look ! the great wall cracks.........;)

[tommy_bun]

Poll leader for WS and XD are gone now...who's next....? :rolleyes:
DU/Yu will be the next...got eliminated by Zhang/Zhao...

[panasonic_chai]

19-18 for Jorgensen in 2nd game..
thanks
who took the first?

[jasonmarc]

JOJ and TH are fighting hard........JOJ has improved tremendously......MAS back ups shd take him as example........

[simonlovers]

1st match point for Taufik..

[Chibot]

match point for taufik !!

[Jessica]

Excuse me, any live stream out there???

[Chibot]

Hooraayyy...TH through to semifinal

[aulia]

21-19 21-19. :d:d:d:d:d. Taufik Won.

[yunarinaldi]

yay..taufik make it to SF..happy happy happy..

[Jagdpanther]

And he took it. 1st Indonesian in SF!

Good effort by DEN youngster. Much better than Joachim Persson lah!

[habsq]

TH won it... congrats!

[TH_4_President]

yep, he reaches semis, TH will face either CJ or SS, c'mon SS..!

[simonlovers]

thanks
who took the first?
taufik
..and he reach SF
beat Jorgensen
21-19 21-19

[abedeng]

Jorgensen sportingly accepts defeat after another disputed line call.

[badMania]

Meanwhile, as expected, Taufik Hidayat checks in to the Final after a straight-set 21-19, 21-19 victory over Jan O' Jorgensen. He should meet Chen Jin in the SF, unless Chen Jin collapses....

[kimchi123]

yes.. taufik won ...

[whack_d_net]

Yeah LYD/LHJ must be happy r8 now :rolleyes:
Actually the BC'ers top poll jinx is really something, after all :cool: :cool:
Anyway, this DEN pair certainly have some STRONG*NERVES
Even Nova/Lily always fall to this pair with the EXACTLY*SAME trick
Or maybe Nova/Lily critical-point-syndrome finally infected ZB/MJ? LOL :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[simonlovers]

Jorgensen sportingly accepts defeat after another disputed line call.
good attitude..
i like it!!

[Jagdpanther]

Come on, Nova/Lily! Make it the 2nd INA rep in SF! Banzai!

[jasonmarc]

Congratulation TH...........

[qczhao]

chen jin just cruising now. Simon Santoso cannot match him.

[kimchi123]

TH shd meet CJ in semi final tml.. another great fight game..

[jasonmarc]

Come on, Nova/Lily! Make it the 2nd INA rep in SF! Banzai!

Shd be no problems for Nova/Butet..........they are facing the weakest xd pair in the QF..........

[extremenanopowe]

CJ went amok.... ? ;)

[aulia]

Ahahai... 9-19. Please Simon...:(

NoLyn on court now. Facing homecourt's pair.

Fuzzy pair trailing...

[simonlovers]

Shd be no problems for Nova/Butet..........they are facing the weakest xd pair in the QF..........
but..they beat Nova/Lilyana @ KOrea Open this year..

[Jagdpanther]

Shd be no problems for Nova/Butet..........they are facing the weakest xd pair in the QF..........
If I'm not mistaken, this IND pair beat Flandy/Vita before ler...

[whack_d_net]

Congratz TH :cool:
Go Simon
Slow start as usual, though :eek:

[Jagdpanther]

CJ went amok.... ? ;)
4 CHN defeats in a row may give LYB heart attack...
Surely he doesn't want that.

[suetyan]

DU/Yu will be the next...got eliminated by Zhang/Zhao...
yaya, I have a feeling that they will be eliminated tonight by the japanese pair or by their teammates on tomorrow :D

[extremenanopowe]

Malaysian have to play the game of the lives now. ;)

[Jessica]

Haiz...Fuzzy lost first set...Come on..

[abedeng]

Pjswift's shouts keep Simon in the hunt, so far.

[jasonmarc]

They are like that....'Fuzzy'..........

[Jagdpanther]

Ouch, Nova/Lily trailing. Don't let the gap widen, please.

[jasonmarc]

Pjswift's shouts keep Simon in the hunt, so far.

Pj sure a super non-chn supporter:eek:............solid..! I think she is happy tonight! :rolleyes:...:D

[lawcc]

simon just warm..CJ tired smashing in 1st set..

[Misty100]

Fuzzys are simple a poor combination today, and I like it especially when Gillian called Zakry lazy, simply lazy.

[ronnie14]

TH played well today :) :)

[yyclub]

Chen Jen is toying with Simon.

[ctjcad]

After the failure of ZB/MJ, I think the happiest pair would be LHJ/LYD :D I think they are afraid facing ZB/MJ :D
..this is definitely LYD & LHJ's XD title to lose..

Sure thing. :D
Even if they win this WC, some will say, "Can only win if ZB/MJ are not around lah." Ha! :p
..if LYD & LHJ go on & win the title without having to play against ZB & MJ, then it's not the Koreans fault for not facing ZB & MJ...

Any instructions on how to view this? ;)
..i have no clue as well. I tried downloading PPStream but just got lost...
anyone using PPStream to watch the webstream??
suetyan?? can you help us out with the Chinese characters as my comp. can't read them??..:p
..this is getting to be a bummer!!..still no webstream to watch..

[badMania]

QF will be the maximum that Simon Santoso and perhaps Sony Dwi Kuncoro will achieve in the World Championships this year.

[yyclub]

Malaysian MD are simply unpredictable to predict.

[Jagdpanther]

Simon, what are you doing? Stand still in the court or what?

[simonlovers]

QF will be the maximum that Simon Santoso and perhaps Sony Dwi Kuncoro will achieve in the World Championships this year.
11 consecutive points now..

I'm ready

[suetyan]

....YY mentioned that Nielsen's attacking power is very strong. Then HHB added: "If we were to play them in the next tournament, I don't think we can defeat them also." :eek::eek:

[ronnie14]

fuzzy need power root lah :(

[simonlovers]

INDIA pair save 4 match points..
pheww..

[abedeng]

INA and IND XD trade purple patches but it is Indonesia who took the game.

[etudiant]

Nova/Lily took 1st set 21-16.........

[aulia]

NoLyn game point. IND pair saved three up until now. Four.

But not five in a row. 21-16. First set taken. Good job.

[jasonmarc]

Fuzzys are simple a poor combination today, and I like it especially when Gillian called Zakry lazy, simply lazy.

'Malu':o.......did GC really said that in TV Live.....:eek:

[etudiant]

bye2 Simon.................

[aulia]

Simon is sleep-playing.

And Chen Jin is cruising. 16-9. He will book his date with Mr.Taufik

[jasonmarc]

....YY mentioned that Nielsen's attacking power is very strong is very strong. Then HHB added: "If we were to play them in the next tournament, I don't think we can defeat them also." :eek::eek:

Then, YY has to partner with FHF........to balance up the attacking power:D

[jasonmarc]

Kor MD is saving energy for the rubber i think........they aare toying with the fuzzy.........

[simonlovers]

C'mon Simon
Never Give Up !!!

[ronnie14]

Malaysian MD are simply unpredictable to predict.

u are correct, verry hard to predict..

[aulia]

Fuzzys are simple a poor combination today, and I like it especially when Gillian called Zakry lazy, simply lazy.

Ah... she didn't comment about Tazari? :o

[malaysiangirl]

- Chen jin doing well and he will go to semi finals.
- Zakry and tazari doing well in second game but their first game was in a mess.Going to third game.

regards,
malaysiangirl

[F-38-I]

Simon.... still cant go further. Ok, nevermind, we still have hayom, andre, aditya, alamsyah, etc who r ready to replace u.

[extremenanopowe]

CJ looks on top form. Shd be a good rubber for malaysian. Have to whip all the way. Hopefully the gas is still there. ;)

[sentosa]

jeez without Hendrawan, Simon really SUC****S !!!!!, but i got a feeling that SDK can beat LCW today. :)

[suetyan]

Kor MD is saving energy for the rubber i think........they aare toying with the fuzzy.........
I hope fuzzy can take this one :(

[Misty100]

'Malu':o.......did GC really said that in TV Live.....:eek:

In fact both commentators said that, and repeated it twice.:eek::o

[malaysiangirl]

Denmark mixed doubles did fantastic job today.

regards,
malaysiangirl

[Jessica]

Kor MD is saving energy for the rubber i think........they aare toying with the fuzzy.........
Aiya jason, have some faith on fuzzy...haha...:D:D

[simonlovers]

I hope fuzzy can take this one :(
i hope Yeon Seong/Gun Woo can take 3rd game..

[sentosa]

Nova/Butet on the way to SEMI

[Chibot]

Simon lost :(.....

[badMania]

Goodbye Simon Santoso, you are next on the trip back home to Jakarta. Expected result from him.

Meanwhile, Nova/Butet are in control and they should progress to the SF. I hope Nova can win his 3rd WC title and end his career with a BANG!!!

[Jagdpanther]

Almost there, Nova/Lily! Simon, well, try harder next time.

[PIGGYGANONE]

It is not easy to ascertain any definie prediction to the "FUZZY PAIR"

Their play is inconsistent. One moment they perform flawlessly and next moment their

played in a medicre way tinted with unforced errors.

This pair is world champion material albeit inconsistency.

[extremenanopowe]

wah zac and fai whippin... ;)

[malaysiangirl]

Malaysian doubles leading 7-3 in third game now.Playing much better now.

regards,
malaysiangirl

[badMania]

Aiya jason, have some faith on fuzzy...haha...:D:D

I think the Fuzzy pair will take this one and earns themselves a Bronze Medal in the World Championships 2009! Not a bad achievement at all for them!

[sentosa]

seems like GUN WOO forgot to load the bullet on 3rd set :)

[jasonmarc]

kkk/tbh on court against the mighty tony/bach...........

hope kkk/tbh wont just play-play on court...........

[aulia]

NoLyn match point. Come on.....!!!!!!!!!!

[Jagdpanther]

Hip hip hip hooooray for Nova/Lily!

[etudiant]

yay.NoLyn follow TH to SF........

[Chibot]

Congrats Nova/Butet !

[malaysiangirl]

Here comes our malaysian doubles Koo and Tan now.Hope they do well and cruise to semi finals.

[jasonmarc]

I think the Fuzzy pair will take this one and earns themselves a Bronze Medal in the World Championships 2009! Not a bad achievement at all for them!

Still too early to say that......see, kor is closing in.............;)

[simonlovers]

Sweet revenge !!
Nova/Lilyana beat Diju V/Jwala Gutta at DIju/Jwala home soil...21-16 21-14

i can go home earlier...
bye2 All..

2 spot in SF for INA..fair enough,,

it's a bonus if Sony can win...

[etudiant]

Korea close the gap 9-7

[badMania]

Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir ensures INA's presence in India continues for at least another day as they beat the home pair V. Diju/Jwalla Gutta 21-16, 21-14. Up next will be a tough encounter against Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen...which I think they can also win!

At least, there's a Bronze Medal for Nova to accompany his 2 World Championships Gold in 2005 & 2007.

[aulia]

NoLyn won. Two INA representatives. Can Sony make it three??:D:D:D

[ronnie14]

yeay for Nolyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ctjcad]

....YY mentioned that Nielsen's attacking power is very strong. Then HHB added: "If we were to play them in the next tournament, I don't think we can defeat them also." :eek::eek:

Then, YY has to partner with FHF........to balance up the attacking power:D
..indeed. Yu Yang needs a new partner. I just don't think HHB is stout and dependable enough to protect YY.

[badMania]

With no INA pair in MD right now, I am hoping Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong prove their critics wrong by winning another Major Title!

[malaysiangirl]

I wish Koo an Tan all the best for quarter finals.

[extremenanopowe]

Looks like lots of people are logging in.

ok quiet everyone.... the stars and stripes countries are playing each other.... lets take the roof down!!! ;)

[suetyan]

..indeed. Yu Yang needs a new partner. I just don't think HHB is stout and dependable enough to protect YY.
how about Yu Yang/Zheng Bo? :D But Ma Jin has to sacrifice :D

[F-38-I]

As usual for INA's camp, when it enters semi, only taufik, nova/butet, & markis/hendra to stay. Where are the youngers?

[aulia]

There.... 3rd match between CHN and KOR.

Zhang Yawen must avoid her double loss today.

[extremenanopowe]

Camon Fai and Zak. Don't crack up on me now... errr. malaysians now... ;)

[malaysiangirl]

Koo/Tan= 11-6 now

Come on guys.Keep the great work going....

[badMania]

Fairuz/Zakry are almost there, leading 15-8. The Bronze Medal is within reach now!

[ctjcad]

Looks like lots of people are logging in.

ok quiet everyone.... the stars and stripes countries are playing each other.... lets take the roof down!!! ;)
..i can only follow this thread..:(..wanted to watch Tony & Howie smash their way to a SF appearance..

how about Yu Yang/Zheng Bo? :D But Ma Jin has to sacrifice :D
..that sounds wonderful, but given Zheng Bo's tendency to quiver in his boots in big time matches, i doubt that'll make much of a difference. Yu Yang needs a mentally tough XD partner. Yes, Ma Jin will have to look for another partner should ZB & YY team up..

[aulia]

Fuzzy looks good. :) 15-9.

KKK/TBH also. 12-8

[malaysiangirl]

It will be a great treat for malaysians if both malaysian doubles and Chong Wei cruise to semi finals...

[extremenanopowe]

I just got a feeling a malaysian will win this WC. Lets see which one it is. ;)

[rebsinfx]

zakry/tazari future looks bright leading 14 -8

[Jagdpanther]

As usual for INA's camp, when it enters semi, only taufik, nova/butet, & markis/hendra to stay. Where are the youngers?
Preparing for Aug 17 ceremony... :p

[extremenanopowe]

All malaysian looks handsome today. Same goes to the ladies. All looks pretty. cantik molek... ;) lol.

[ronnie14]

come on fuzzy!!!

[Jessica]

Koo/Tan always like to make us feel nervous..17-17..

[jasonmarc]

Fuzzy....finish the match ............dont give chance to the Kor...........

Prove the commentators wrong.......

[Jessica]

Fuzzy is crusing into semi final..At least a bronze medel is guranteed..Koo/Tan,come on..

[malaysiangirl]

[badMania]

With Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan's absence, the MAS no 2 pair Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif truly grab the chance and progress to the Semi-Final of the World Championships, thereby winning themselves a Bronze Medal after a rubber-set victory over Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong 17-21, 21-12, 21-14. Up next will be the formidable Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun.

Howie tends to make one brilliant play but then would follow it with a few uninspiring plays..
