wow, what i can say. the round of 16 already produce so many interesting matches.. i'm sure tomorrow's quarter final will be much more interesting..

expect a tough fight between ld and pg and sony vs lcw..:cool:;)
may the best man win..

xxf vs zhou mi..wow, who do you think will win this match??

koo/tan against former wc bach/gunawan..hope mas will be able to win here...iah!..:D;)

looking forward to possibly the biggest match of the QF well defienetly in the MS section
LD(5) vs PG(3)

The big XD game is between LYD/LHJ(1) vs XZ/XY(5)

In the WS draw I would say the biggest match is between WR1 ZM(1) vs the inform XXF (5)However XXF came through a 51 minute match today which could have either tired her or made her more prepared

in the WDs draw IMHO the biggest and toughest match for both pairs is the match between MJ/WX (6) vs LHJ/LWK (3)
MJ/WX are fresh from winning the Malaysian open and in good form there seeding doesn't really reflect the form they are in

And last but not least the MD
KKK/TBH (2) vs TG/HB (unseeded)
They may be unseeded however TG/HB are former WC And they have already taken out another MAS pair seeded 12
Can they do it again ? I hope not

I hope that TG/HB win the match tomorrow. C'mon Tony !

QF will starting at 2:00 PM (local time)
Just comin' back from checkin' draws and order of plays from TS, here's the link:
http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=396051B5-CD7B-4E98-A111-5A927631C0C1&d=20090814
Whoaaa, definetely lots of interesting matches :cool: :cool:
Unfortunately for INA camp only 4 representatives remain,
after some kind of massacre and heavy casualties in the round of 16 :mad: :rolleyes:
Best of luck for TH, SDK, SS (MS) and Nova/Lily (XD) :cool: :cool:

..the rubber (shoe's sole) meets the floor mat!!...Where we separate the contenders from the pretenders!!...Where da big boys (and big girls) show who's boss!!...And where our loyal M'sian BCers will keep their hopes & dreams alive for 1 more day!!..:cool:

Should be a fun & exciting day of matches...Too bad, we U.S. Pacific-based BCers will have to slough through the night watching the matches...:(

I gotta get up @ 4:30 in the morning to catch the game live :(

Wow... this is really Quarter Final??

I must say, today is battle between CHN and KOR. 5 Matches!!! 3-2 with KOR as winner. :D:D:D. I won't pick the name. :p

And for the rest...

KKK/TBH vs TG/HB
Na...na...na...na...na... Must be cracking....:D:D. TG/HB look good until yesterday. But, can they roll this MAS pair? I think KKK/TBH ready for this... They must show the world that they still there... Rubber game here. Bolehian will smile.

Simon Santoso vs Chen Jin
They are really slow starter. But from their yesterday matches, they look solid. Crashing their opponent delicately. I hope Simon will spring surprise here.

Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs Lee Chong Wei
Mrs. Kuncoro must prepare some 'warm reception' for her newly husband. I think LCW is in good form. But, what will SDK choose? Semifinal ticket or another ticket to Indonesia?

Lin Dan vs Peter Gade
Errmmm... Gade is really ready for this. He has said that LD is the toughest here... there you go. Enjoy your matches, gentleman! But, I think everyone knows the result rite??

Taufik Hidayat vs Jan O Jorgensen
Hmmm… Mr. Taufik looks solid in every match. Then can he sustain his performance? JOJ had sweated much to get here. I think he is ready to serve Taufik with some good menu. Rubber set here and I really hope Taufik will get through…

Nova/Liliyana vs Diju/Jwala
This is really good drawing for NoLyn. They must take the advantage! One SF seat please. :D

2009 World Championships statistic
COUNTRY ROUND 3 QUARTER SEMI
China 17 14 ? stil very dominating
Indonesia 9 4 ? a big disaster yesterday
Denmark 8 5 ? JOJ was awesome
Korea 7 6 ? i trust KOR to get a title here
Malaysia 6 3 ? whereas sending a lot of players
Japan 6 1 ? JPN WD rock,like them
India 3 2 ? not bad at all
Taipe 5 -
Hongkong 5 1 ? hope she can go through
France 1 1 ? have beaten my beloved maria
Thailand 2 - withdrawal in mix affect a lot
German 1 1 ? hope continue her surprise
USA 1 1 ? hope they can win today
Singapore 2 -
Russia 1 -
Bulgaria 1 -
Poland 2 -
Vietnam 1 -
Nederland 1 -

To me, the only "sure win" match is Lin Dan vs Peter Gade. I am sure Peter will try to put up a good fight but Lin Dan is just too strong and too fast for Peter. This match reminds me about Chen Jin vs Choon Hann, even Choon Hann admitted is hard for him to catch up with Chen Jin.
Chong Wei and Sony match is 50-50, the only advantage Chong Wei has is the lesson learn from WC2006, that's margin of errors is very small when come to winning or losing on this top level badminton.

..you mean LCW's lesson in 2007 WC where he lost @ home to Sony..;)

finally,the great excitement is about to explode^^

Well, there have been upsets in the previous games. Will it happen on this one? I like to see the top 4 to move on though. Maybe LD will do the upset. Still a mouth watering match. ;)

i guess INA will only has Taufik and Nova/Lily in Semifinal tomorrow.... huaaaaaaa
and i also guess will only has Taufik in Final
and then Taufik will lost to Lin Dan
so no title to bring home to celebrate INA Independence Day
what a degradation compare to last year's WC.
hiks...hiks...

finally,the great excitement is about to explode^^
..limsy ah, the great excitement happens when your player wins...Apprehension is what happens prior to the start of the matches..;)

..bro, there was no WC last yr...it was 2 yrs ago...

My hunch for the INA squad is 3 representatives will advance to the Semis. Taufik to win over JOJ, Nova & Lilyana to win...and last but not least Sony will replay his 2007 win vs. LCW...:)

..limsy ah, the great excitement happens when your player wins...Apprehension is what happens prior to the start of the matches..;)and last but not least Sony will replay his 2007 win vs. LCW...:)

disagree for both:p
sdk is not the sdk that won wc silver medal in 2007 anymore

Wow... this is really Quarter Final??
Nova/Liliyana vs Diju/Jwala
This is really good drawing for NoLyn. They must take the advantage! One SF seat please. :D
Yeah, indeed :)
Fortunately they're seeding #2, so losing WR #1 position wasn't that bad, after all :rolleyes:
Just look at LYD/LHJ draws, they must face CHN great walls from round of 16 onwards :p:p
But hey, don't forget that this Indian pair beat Nova/Lily in their previous encounters @ Korea Open SS, rite?
So Nova/Lily must be careful, otherwise it could be nightmare for INA camp! :eek::eek:

disagree for both:p
sdk is not the sdk that won wc silver medal in 2007 anymore
Yup you're right, he's married now
Haha :D:D

Great MS Quater Final

I thing this is teh greatest quarter final ever,
On the upper side only BCL which was predicted to over come has replaced by PG which also will showing good macth again LD.
PG vs LD => rubber with LD as a winner
SDK vs LCW => stright set with LCW as a winner
On the bottom side JOJ has crused BP and PSW will taft opponent for TH
TH vs JOJ => straight set win by TH if rubber JOJ will win
SS vs CJ => should be a great macth, rubber with CJ as a winner

..limsy

ups yah correct i mean 2007 WC
but if i should pick 3 of our INA representatives, i choose Tofik, Novlin, and Simon.
as like Limsy said, i dont think SDK can prevail to LCW.
for Simon, he still have chance, remember he played tremendously 3 games with Lin Dan in Sudirman Cup this year.
i think Chen Jin is just an average player.
yeah Novlin should beware to Diju/Jwala as they ever been beaten 2 straight game

QF will starting at 2:00 PM (local time)
Just comin' back from checkin' draws and order of plays from TS, here's the link:
http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=396051B5-CD7B-4E98-A111-5A927631C0C1&d=20090814


Which court is the TV court?

Taufik has to be careful with Jorgensen. He is very impressive in the last two matches.

In fact, Jorgensen's only flaw is sometimes he is too impatient.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen!! A very exciting day ahead of all us badminton lovers!!

It is day off in most of India due to a local Hindu festival but I am stuck in my workarea. I will vent out my frustration by cheering for players of my choice -
All Indian players (:D:D:D give locals to cheer something about guys)
Peter Gade, Sir Taufik, Lady Pi and the veterans --- Bach and Gunawan

Would have cheered for Wang Lin and Lin Dan but they play against my fav players :D:D, so forgive me my Chinese friends!!

Sir TH will through to semis..Nova/Lilyana to semis, SDK and SS will probably out, but there's slight chance for SS upset CJ and goes to semis to face TH. SDK? very slim chance..:P

Which court is the TV court?

Today matches (QF) will be held in three courts
Usually, the organizing comittee always arrange the most (predicted) interesting combo matches in the main/central court,
so mostly tv court is always on central,
but MAYBE they would swap it to the other/side courts had there are any others interesting matches too
CMIIW :cool: :cool:

I predict Taufik and Chen Jen should clear today hurdle. Looking forward for tomorrow TH vs CJ.

MS

Semifinal

SONY VS LD
SIMON VS TH

It is very obvious.....

SONY will be TOO tough for LCW this time.....Sony's marriage has contributed significantly to his professional performance.

SONY vs LCW ==> STRAIGHT SET....

MS

SONY vs LCW ==> STRAIGHT SET....


Taufik didnt do good after marriage btw :cool::cool::cool:
can SDK??? lets keep our fingers crossed

Which court is the TV court?

Possibly court 2. Some interesting matches will be played at court 2, LCW >< SDK, LD >< PG and last but not least local fave Saina Nehwal against Wang Lin.

in the WDs draw IMHO the biggest and toughest match for both pairs is the match between MJ/WX (6) vs LHJ/LWK (3)
MJ/WX are fresh from winning the Malaysian open and in good form there seeding doesn't really reflect the form they are in


compare to other CHN WD, MJ/WXL are just standard. They could lost to Shendy/Meiliana if INA pair not conceded TOO MUCH error...:(

In the WS draw I would say the biggest match is between WR1 ZM(1) vs the inform XXF (5)However XXF came through a 51 minute match today which could have either tired her or made her more prepared

I dont think XXF is in form... not see enough motivation to win from her...
Salakjit could steal one game and looks like had trouble with her waist on 3rd game...
even Linda Zechiri could fight her in 1st game on R32, the Bulgarian lost because get injured and must retired...

TPE got 1 representative in QF.......in WD...

Hey, Saina vs WL....a repeat match of INA Open 09......

Saina works for a repeat victory,...WL looking for a revenge .....Who will win this time...?

TPE got 1 representative in QF.......in WD...

Let's count, then:

MS: CHN (2), INA (3), DEN (2), MAS (1)
WS: CHN (3), DEN (1), IND (1), HKG (1), GER (1), FRA (1)
MD: CHN (2), KOR (3), MAS (2), USA (1)
WD: CHN (4), KOR (2), JPN (1), TPE (1)
XD: CHN (3), DEN (2), INA (1), KOR (1), IND (1)

It means,
CHN (14)
KOR (6)
DEN (5)
INA (4)
MAS (3)
IND (2)
HKG, JPN, USA, GER, FRA, TPE (1).

Hey, Saina vs WL....a repeat match of INA Open 09......

Saina works for a repeat victory,...WL looking for a revenge .....Who will win this time...?

I don't think Saina is fit enough to give WL any scare.
Personally I would have liked her to rest and get fully fit before jumping back in badminton. But perhaps the local pressure....:confused:

MS

Semifinal

SONY VS LD
SIMON VS TH

It is very obvious.....

SONY will be TOO tough for LCW this time.....Sony's marriage has contributed significantly to his professional performance.

SONY vs LCW ==> STRAIGHT SET....

Indra, you lost so many bets to me before, I hate to even raise a bet with you now.But anyway I agree with you above. Your quote of "SONY vs LCW ==> STRAIGHT SET", yes LCW will win by straight sets. Thank you.;)

Which court is the TV court?
most probably on court number 2.where all the exciting matches set to be taking place there.. unfortunately again, i can't watch the match between kkk/tbh vs tg/hb..anyway , we will be treated with 2 exciting ms match later..ld vs pg and lcw vs sony:cool:

Li yong bo and zhang ning will have to deep it very hard tough today to ensure xxf to win against the in form zhou mi later:p;):)

today we will be having 2 comentators, gillian clark and john burgess:D:)

china's ws player will also be hardly challenged today.and possibility ALL their shuttlers will out from the tournament;):eek:

where wang lin will be up against saina nehwal, xxf agaisnt zhou mi and lu lan agaisnt tine rasmussen..wow..interesting!!:)

china's ws player will also be hardly challenged today.and possibility ALL their shuttlers will out from the tournament;):eek:

I have high hopes for Tine! Lesser for other two!:)
More so because Tine got the easiest of three opponents!:D

Which court is the TV court?
All of them, they keep on shuffling for the big games :)

One of my friends had a word with PG Yesterday (Darn Lucky Chap). PG is like super confident about this game. He mentioned that all the preasure is on LD only and he is in his ultimate form and he has beaten LD before.

May the best man(LD) win. :D

Will be the biggest upset if they do, I doubt though.

I have high hopes for Tine! Lesser for other two!:)
More so because Tine got the easiest of three opponents!:D

On the contrary, I think Lu Lan is showing great form here. In fact I am contemplating to PAW her...:D

where wang lin will be up against saina nehwal, xxf agaisnt zhou mi and lu lan agaisnt tine rasmussen..wow..interesting!!:)

but they have great chance to clean sweep all SF spots in the WD...:D

Can we expect an upset here? Does SDK stand any chance? He has been playing good and seems in good form but so does LCW.

Morten Frost was a thinking player and a cool cool man, even more calm than Gade and Jonassen. Jorgensen hasn't yet shown the same guile and patience. No doubt his skills are getting better though.

All 1st set in 3 first matches ended in similar scoreline!
Oops, mistake. Only 2.

HHB/YY got smoked 21-10

i love Yu Yang much..but i prefer Joachim/Christina to win this one as i dont want CHN to dominate SF matches tomm..:D:D

YY/HHB is ready in set 2 now.....

i love Yu Yang much..but i prefer Joachim/Christina to win this one as i dont want CHN to dominate SF matches tomm..:D:D

Even if they lost, I wouldn't expect a CHN XD pair to go down in flames so spectacularly

HHB/YY must be just warming up in 1st set,
Or it could be another upset in the making? Hehe :rolleyes:

HHB is going nowhere. Avataar is here with me.

10-6 in the second...wowww not going well

JIA YOU ZHONG GUO DUI!!!

HHB/YY must be just warming up,
Or it could be another upset in the making? Hehe :rolleyes:

they play better in 2nd game... or not?
Joachim/Christinna still lead 10-7

HHB is going nowhere. Avataar is here with me.

where do you sit, abedeng?

HHB is going nowhere. Avataar is here with me.

So you are saying HHB is stinking up the joint? How is YY playing?

So you are saying HHB is stinking up the joint? How is YY playing?

Poor HHB. He would be nagged again by YY.

Fischer is happy, Chinese fail to force them to backcourt.

Joachim/Christinna still leading..

HHB/YY closing the gap..13-14..
and Joachim/Christinna keep going...16-13

the XD pairs are chasing the scores hard, thats the way, dontlet it go without a fight!!

JIA YOU :D:D

she must be so pretty with her skirt :D:D:D

i thought she said wont wear skirt again....

All of YY's hard work undone by HHB.

HHB/YY must be just warming up in 1st set,
Or it could be another upset in the making? Hehe :rolleyes:

yay! i want Danes to win :P

Gaahh, DEN better finish this quickly
don't let HHB/YY forced rubber :cool:

good to see CY and FHF cruise through.

sorry i dont think YY wear skirt
just kidding
sorry for misleading

10-21 17-21

Our Bronze XD Medallist has gone....

Good Job Christinna/Joachim..

Two CHN XD go down the drain on account of their male players' poor performances.

bye-bye CHN XD....
ZYW/XZB
YY/HHB

Lets see if Julianne can continue her run of form! ^^

Oh wow, 2 CHN XD bungkus. Now only Zheng/Ma left...

Yes. Usually, it's the ladies that make CHN good in mixed doubles.

CHN vs KOR --- 1-1

come on Zhengbo / Ma Jin! take revenge on the danes!!!

All three first matches finished much early then I would have imagined (or most of fans would like).
Anyway, the start was not very for the Chinese:eek:

Congrats to the Danes for bringing down a difficult pair!!:D

come on Zhengbo / Ma Jin! take revenge on the danes!!!
Denmark..
Denmark...

Two CHN XD go down the drain on account of their male players' poor performances.

YY n ZYW are quite great but they both are not supported by the men..

Lady Pi!!! Go!! Go!! Go!!

Aiya...forget to say. CHN vs DEN in 4 matches...:D:D:D.

DEN 1-0 CHN with 1 point from XD.

Now, two matches involve this two countries...

Lets see if Julianne can continue her run of form! ^^

i am not sure she can..Lady Pi will take this one i think..

Lady Pi!!! Go!! Go!! Go!!
C'mon Pi Hongyan....:cool:

CHN 0 DEN 1 , 2 More battle to go between both nations

wow chn 2 early casualties

Yay, the great walls slowly start to fall :eek:
2 casualties so far for today
But they still have LOTS of representatives, though :cool:
Great job Jojo/X-tina :cool:
As for LYD/LHJ, behave there's still ZB/MJ in the horizon
Poor HHB and ZB, they must be scolded right now
Hahaha :rolleyes:

Denmark..
Denmark...

i am not sure she can..Lady Pi will take this one i think..

i will cheer for julianne, as she knocked out my favourite WYH.

Oh wow, 2 CHN XD bungkus. Now only Zheng/Ma left...

Wow, danes pair win, congrats

ZB/MJ will hold the fort. just you watch.

Tight game though TR is leading 9-8 :)

Yay, the great walls slowly start to fall :eek:
2 casualties so far for today
But they still have LOTS of representatives, though :cool:
Great job Jojo/X-tina :cool:
As for LYD/LHJ, behave there's still ZB/MJ in the horizon
Poor HHB and ZB, they must be scolded right now
Hahaha :rolleyes:

I bet they had already been scolded enough on court. ZYW and YY are known for on-court nagging. :D
Something's wrong with CHN. They usually start out tough and leading. ZB/MJ is just catching up.

Go Tine!!! Go Pi!!!!!:D:D

wow another dane XD pair leading china! i want china to lose :D

At the break TR leading 11-10 GO TINE GO :)

Tine..Tine,,,
Lady Pi trail 13-10..

schenk ekes out a 3 point adv over Pi.

COME ON DEUSTCHLAND! :P

JIA YOU ZHONG GUO DIE!!!

wow still cant find any coverage on my sopcast...

Go Juliane!!! Go Denmark!!

Go Tine!!! Go Pi!!!!!:D:D
now we are on same side..:p

YY n ZYW are quite great but they both are not supported by the men..

Yeah, indeed :cool:
Its probably not a secret, that in CHn XD the ladies mostly still more dominant than the men :cool:
Btw both ZYW and YY still got WD matches, though
They can make up XD loss with victory in WD,
or even worse, they (probably) gettin' sunk deeper later on
LOL :eek: :eek:

Joachim said he believe they could win, thanks to 10-0 start in 1st game. "Need a very good start to beat China pairs, because they usually have a good start and win."
And he choose to play Nova/Liliyana rather than Diju/Jwala in SF...:D
Will be good match to see...

Pjswift does all she can to ensure a wipeout of CHN XD in the competition.

schenk ekes out a 3 point adv over Pi.

COME ON DEUSTCHLAND! :P

JIA YOU ZHONG GUO DIE!!!
Lady Pi reduce the gap..
14-13..
Come on France..11:p
Lady Pi Hebat !!

Lu Lan takes the lead over tine.

YAY, go LU LAN! :D

Tine goes down :( 16-12 big 4 point lead to Lu lan

C'mon Tine..
NEver Give UP !!!

Lady Pi reduce the gap..
14-13..
Come on France..11:p
Lady Pi Hebat !!

Pi nips on Juliannes heels but can't quite seem to draw level.

Juhl could not return, hitting the net 12-13........

C'mon Tine..
NEver Give UP !!!
Truly mate, C'mon Tine :p

meanwhile ZB/MJ recover from poor start and back up to 12-13.

I bet they had already been scolded enough on court. ZYW and YY are known for on-court nagging. :D
Something's wrong with CHN. They usually start out tough and leading. ZB/MJ is just catching up.

Yeah, but that's on court
Now its LYB and their coach turn to scold HHB and XZB :eek:

Lu Lan on game point :(

^ and she takes it :(

Yeah, but that's on court
Now its LYB and their coach turn to scold HHB and XZB :eek:

they probably deserve it.

NOW.

LU LAN takes first game, yay!

SCHENK poised to do teh same. double yay!

Yeah, but that's on court
Now its LYB and their coach turn to scold HHB and XZB :eek:

But ZB/MJ is a different case. It's the opposite. ZB nags MJ. They're tied now. 14-14. Good job for catching up.

C'mon TINE...
get 2nd set...!!

Clever soft touch by Ma Jin 15-15.......

Support for PHY comes courtesy of men wearing orange hats. Dutch, I suppose.

ZB fast drive into L'bourne's body ...the Dane sends the shuttle out 16-15......

Support for PHY comes courtesy of men wearing orange hats. Dutch, I suppose.

or maybe they are just people who like orange hats. ^^

C'mon Tine..
Another Camilla Martin in making....;)

Lu Lan and Schenk are in rhythm. 21-15. Same score.

Will they do the same for the 2nd set??

btw, Lu Lan get 16 [other] points at 1st set. Tine still spraying her shot out??

XD China 17-15....18-15........pulling away?

now we are on same side..:p

why am I getting a feeling that our side is also the losing side :D:D:p:p

Juliane seems to be in control right now

all danes trailing behind however, time to step up for the comeback!!

ZB/MJ get back in control of the danes.

SCHENK off to a great start in G2.

Unbelievable return by Ma 19-16......

CHN pair leading by 3 pts.

Reverse tide I think.

But ZB/MJ is a different case. It's the opposite. ZB nags MJ. They're tied now. 14-14. Good job for catching up.

That's just bcoz MJ is his junior,
He won't dare to do that on Gao Ling :cool: :cool:
....
Woah, i hope Lady Pi and TR force rubber ,-)

Hard hitting smash by the tall L'bourne....17-19......18-19......

Wohoho.... 10 straight points taken by Lu Lan. She is very good at the moment.

Juhl controlling the front court....21-20...........

ZB/MJ not used to chase back the game.. I think they might lose this eventually

As projected, pjswift turns Danish fortunes around.

Den at game point. They took it. Wow....saving 2 game points and won the game. Cool.

Its 20 - 20 now

Yes and now the Danes win 22-20.......

why am I getting a feeling that our side is also the losing side :D:D:p:p

LYD will be the most happiest man now:D:D

As projected, pjswift turns Danish fortunes around.

Lady Pi!!!!!!:crying::crying::crying:

Lu Lan almost there.... needs 5 more points. What can Tine do now??

LYD/LHJ must be smiling right now...

Thunderous smash by ZB.....3-0..........

Come on MJ/ZB!! You guys are the only pair left!!! Jia you!!

Lady Pi looks so relax on the adjacent court at the moment

ZB/MJ doing well now! (dontw anna jinx them though)

Smash by Juhl....weak return by MJ.....and L'bourn finishes it off......3-8.......

The Danes should keep the shuttles low. The chinese are still good with their thunderous smashes

Suetyan, is it true that ZN said Lu Lan is the one who is in the best condition?

Both LADY PI.H.Y and CHN pair are on TURBO.

3 and 6 pts ahead.

YES!!!!! Lu Lan bt Tine!!!! The effect of the training works good for Lu Lan!!! I am hoping to see you in the final!!!

Good serve by ZB.....10-3.......

Danes take first game but MJ/ZB are leading 8-3 in second

Pi wnts to play a rubber. i fear for julianne if that happens.

JOJ should say his prayers. :p

Taufik is playing now. Go Taufik !!

A couple of points in a row by Danes....5-11.........

21-15 21-13

Yay... Lu Lan won.

Suetyan, is it true that ZN said Lu Lan is the one who is in the best condition?
Not to say best condition. ZN said LL was the best during their training in Qindao, but not Wang Yihan or Wang Lin ;)

can somebody tell me the score of the match Schenk - PI please.
The visual livescore doesn't work for me...

Thanks

you and i seem to be the only CHN supporters amidst this crowd of wall breakers haha.

JIA YOU!!!:cool:
sorry no choice the wall is obstructing our view :D

you and i seem to be the only CHN supporters amidst this crowd of wall breakers haha.

JIA YOU!!!:cool:
I am always a CHN supporters ;) Together with tommy_bun and ajaib ;)

Another hard hitting smash by ZB....14-5.......

can somebody tell me the score of the match Schenk - PI please.
The visual livescore doesn't work for me...

YES!!!!! Lu Lan bt Tine!!!! The effect of the training works good for Lu Lan!!! I am hoping to see you in the final!!!

sO DO i......sHE has been not showing good performance lately....

Bye bye Tine
Better luck next time :cool:
Seems like her injury and long time absent from tourney affect her game :mad:
Finally LL got her revenge over TR from 2oo8 AE finals

Mr. Taufik is on the court..c'mon TH!

can somebody tell me the score of the match Schenk - PI please.
The visual livescore doesn't work for me...

Thanks

she won 21-15 , lose 15-21 second set
0-0 now

Looks like we are going into rubber......ZB/MJ 16-7.............

Not to say best condition. ZN said LL was the best during their training in Qindao, but not Wang Yihan or Wang Lin ;)

Oh oh.. okay then. I see then.:)

in 3rd set..
0-0....:D

Thanks but what was the score of the 1st and 2nd set please?

Quick rush of points to the Chinese 19-7..........

YES!!!!! Lu Lan bt Tine!!!! The effect of the training works good for Lu Lan!!! I am hoping to see you in the final!!!

although i would've wanted Tine to win, i'm still happy for Lu Lan. for a time, she's been living in the shadows of promising youngsters Wang Yihan and Wang Lin. also, this should be a revenge to her loss in the 2008 All England finals.

JOJ draws first blood.

Come on Taufik! :D:D

she won 21-15 , lose 15-21 second set
0-0 now

thanks DanielWong

I am always a CHN supporters ;) Together with tommy_bun and ajaib ;)
