Wow, Nicole Grether.......advanced to QF beating Firda.......

Gosh! After stunned Zhou Mi yesterday, Firda lost to Nicole Grether in rubber games, 21-15 ; 19-21 ; 25-27.

i PAW firda to play safe,, but Nicole Grether prove me wrong.... so many PAWERS lost on Firda

Firda lost in a very choking way......tupsy turvy after beat ZM ytrday, she couldn't maintain it.....sigh
..i'm sure our Hau-ge must've been nearly as stunned as most of us here..I hope he was able to endure another nerve-wrecking ending esp. after the earlier match between LCW vs. SS..

[kuwichert]

sorry for Flandy, bad draw to play the winners that early, Kidawan on the way again.

[tommy_bun]

Very2 sad Clely.......Luckily wang Xin is there....
Time to cheer for Chai Biao/Zhang nan

JIANG YANJIAO position is in Danger too...

[undeadshot]

So many up coming youngsters. Might as well migrate to another country now for better prospects. Hong Kong? ZM and WC is getting old. Need replacements.

[ctjcad]

[ctjcad]

[nokh88]

luluk and Joko are struggling - what's wrong with them?

Boe and Mogesen is a good pair. Not surprising

[jasonmarc]

All Mas players can shopping together in Japan now...Year end sales..Fuzzy better win their match today or else....

Fuzzy cant go shopping meh......so unfair....:D:D or they just done their shopping before Hari Raya........:D:D

[tommy_bun]

Chai Biao/Zhang Nan.........do you hear me????

[nokh88]

Fuzzy cant go shopping meh......so unfair....:D:D or they just done their shopping before Hari Raya........:D:D

Datuk & KKK all made so much money. Need to spend. All work and no play makes them dull boys

[Ajaib]

[george@chongwei]

Maybe she's mad nobody PAWed her :p:p
lol, maybe she's angry because of that and she makes everyone upsets:mad::p

[george@chongwei]

Nicole Grether has advanced to QF....must be good news 4 u...
I wonder what makes her gameplay suddenly so good? we need someone in the stadium to tell us about this.

[kuwichert]

ohoh, luluk and JOko even needs to go overtime in second now

[kuwichert]

ch/GU - come on guys, 2 more now!

[undeadshot]

OH YEAH! ZA/FT made it! They beat the chinese pair... the only MAS hope now...

[kuwichert]

23-21, ch/gu finally did it, congratulations boys!

[george@chongwei]

fuzzy pair won't be going shopping after this:D:D

[kuwichert]

Tony and Howard are doing pretty good, hope it will continue to the end - they have to safe power for next days

[kuwichert]

ups, tomorrow Taufik needs some support, gonna get up earlier, what a pity

[jasonmarc]

I wonder what makes her gameplay suddenly so good? we need someone in the stadium to tell us about this.

Its most likely was Firda who played badly, or tired after beating ZM.....;)

[undeadshot]

I think Sony can win the Japan Open again, since LCW is out. Or maybe SS can spring another surprise?

[nokh88]

Tony and Howard are doing pretty good, hope it will continue to the end - they have to safe power for next days


I'm rooting for them. They are the only representative from the American Continent. Go go ....

[undeadshot]

Hmm......still left two japanese pairs in MD......I hope the pair who beat KKK/TBH goes in the quarter finals for some reason. :)

[kuwichert]

Tony and Howard - well done! good luck tomorrow! hope to see them on tv next, always nice watching them

[jasonmarc]

Looks like most all MD matches are finished quite fast.....its way ahead of the schedule.....

[tenggk]

Halim as in Halim Haryanto? I believe he put on weight and does anyone has this match to upload?

[jasonmarc]

Hmm......still left two japanese pairs in MD......I hope the pair who beat KKK/TBH goes in the quarter finals for some reason. :)

And they are trailling now........looks like KKK/TBH lost for no reason........just inconsistant........:D

[jasonmarc]

INA has 3.5 representatives in MD QF.......3 slots in MS.......impressive

Worth it for skipped China Master........

[nokh88]

And they are trailling now........looks like KKK/TBH lost for no reason........just inconsistant........:D


Nvm, If Fuzzy can win the title

[nokh88]

Auntie is losing again

[undeadshot]

Lol Kenichi/Kenta are losing to another japanese pair......KKK/TBH were really inconsistent or has fear of japan or something lol

[undeadshot]

CEH/WPT leading 8-7
Come on, join Zakry/Fairuz!

[jasonmarc]

Auntie is losing again

They arent 'aunties'.............yet...! :D

[terrencelbt]

CEH/WPT leading 8-7
Come on, join Zakry/Fairuz!

CEH/WPT jia you..... jia you....

[nokh88]

Cannot withstand another blow if another 1st seed is out again

[undeadshot]

Cannot withstand another blow if another 1st seed is out again

Are CEH / WPT the 1st seeds?

At least they are leading 11-9 at interval but match can go anywhere.

[**KZ**]

japs did invade M'sia once in WW2....lol

[undeadshot]

japs did invade M'sia once in WW2....lol

Wow...Sudden change of topic :D

[jasonmarc]

Lol Kenichi/Kenta are losing to another japanese pair......KKK/TBH were really inconsistent or has fear of japan or something lol

Either inconsistent or unprofessional attitude problems.........

Just look at CY/FHF, when CY/FHF play, they play with full determination and all out...never say die attitude......no fooling around........and they seldom lost unexpectly to lower rank pair like kkk/tbh did........;)

[Dede_Pran]

huft.....onLine..onLine.....
GeNit leads 18-15, while ShenMei trails 11-16 behind....
Jia You gals..

[undeadshot]

Yes, I agree. KKK sometimes fool around on court... :(
Their 'killers' just forced the rubber :o
CEH/WPT just took the first game, but was unconvincingly close......

[Dede_Pran]

Yesss.... GeNit grabbed 1st game 21-15 against the mixed pair, while ShenMei is still catching up the Japanese gals 15-18, come on Shen Mei.....

[undeadshot]

5-5 for CEH / WPT

7-5 now that was really fast...... Go! Don't put all pressure on Zakry/Fairuz

[Dede_Pran]

Ghosssh.... ShenMei lost 1st game already 17-21 after saving 2MP, while GeNit catches up from 0-4 to 3-5

[undeadshot]

11 - 7 at interval for CEH/WPT. Keep it up and don't make it the third disappointment for Malaysia.

[Dede_Pran]

Ma/Wang already booked QF ticket, beating Japanese pair 21-9 21-13
ShenMei leads 5-3 ahead
GeNit trails 9-11 in 2nd game
come on gals......

[nokh88]

5-5 for CEH / WPT

7-5 now that was really fast...... Go! Don't put all pressure on Zakry/Fairuz

The Malaysians should pull through

[undeadshot]

CEH / WPT can expect to do battle with Ma/Wang tomorrow......
18-11 for them in the second set.

[rebsinfx]

Are there any live streaming links? Thanks!

[Dede_Pran]

CEH/WPT won straight games 21-19 21-12
ShenMei levels it 9-9
GeNit trails 11-16
oO no.....

[undeadshot]

The Malaysians should pull through

Yep, they won 21-19, 21-12. The first game wasn't convincing but the second game sure is. I hope they have become more consistent.:)
They have a tough fight in the QF though.

[nokh88]

Wow, the Japanese boys fighting very close. I think the stadium must be rocking

[undeadshot]

Kenichi / Kenta, Go!

[undeadshot]

KKK/TBH killer going to lose...

[nokh88]

KKK/TBH killer going to lose...

it's 20 all....

[Loh]

Well I'm a bit late but am surprised to find out that LCW even lost to Simon S. Perhaps SS got the inspiration from teammate Sony. ;)

[Dede_Pran]

Noooo.......
GeNit lost 2nd game 18-21 after saving 2MP.......
ShenMei 15-13
wow MD games hasn't finished yet....

[nokh88]

There goes the KKK/TBH conquerer

[undeadshot]

It was so close!
KKK/TBH killers Hayakawa Kenichi and Kazuno Kenta lost to Hashimoto Hirokatsu / Hirata Noriyasu 21 -16, 18 - 21, 21 - 23. Final men's match?

[undeadshot]

There goes the KKK/TBH conquerer

Yep. KKK/TBH should try to be more focused and disciplined :rolleyes:

[Dede_Pran]

Yesss ShenMei makes it into rubber after taking 2nd game 21-14
while GeNit slightly ahead 4-3
Jia You gals, pliz win the rubber......

[undeadshot]

That's all MAS matches gone for the day :D Time to give a good rest to my computer

[nokh88]

That's all MAS matches gone for the day :D Time to give a good rest to my computer

Goodbye, see you

[badMania]

A good day for Team INA so far, with only 2 WD matches left.

It's 3/3 in MS with the surprise being Simon Santoso beating Lee Chong Wei in 3 tight-sets. Simon will face fellow team-mate Sony Dwi Kuncoro as INA is guaranteed a spot in the SF. If Taufik Hidayat can beat Park Sung Hwan, then, there will be an INA rep in the Final from the top-half.

In WS, it's kinda expected to see Adriyanti Firdasari beating a seeded pair yesterday, only to lose to Nicole Grether today.

In MD, it will be Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki (who beat team-mate Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan), and Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra in the QF tomorrow. Kido/Hendra will be tested by Hwang Ji Man/Shin Baek Cheol, Rian/Yoke will face yet another rematch against Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry/Abdul Latif; while Alvent/AG will have a tough task against Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.

In XD, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir will face Ko Sung Hyun/Ha Jung Eun and is likely to enter the SF, where they are expected to meet the winner between Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita and Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen. If Devin/Lita can beat the Danes, it will be a major achievement! The most surprising result must be Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa beating Zheng Bo/Ma Jin! They will face the newly crowned World Champion Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl tomorrow.

[Dede_Pran]

Yesssssssss keep it up dude......
ShenMei leads 10-4 in the rubber......
while GeNit leads 11-7 at the interval of rubber game......
Come on gals, Indonesia BISA

[teoky]

Well I'm a bit late but am surprised to find out that LCW even lost to Simon S. Perhaps SS got the inspiration from teammate Sony. ;)

I always feel that both Simon and Sony on their best form can give the top players a tough fight if the top players are not in good form.

I think Simon feels vindicated as LCW trashed him during the 2008 Aviva open.

[jasonmarc]

By the way,...this CTP WD, Chen Wen hsing pairing with a new girl Where is Chien YJ ?

[Dede_Pran]

thank God......
ShenMei won 21-13 while GeNit won 21-15 both in the rubber......
they got 2 ticket for WD QF already, well-done so far, Indonesia BISA

[limsy]

There goes the KKK/TBH conquerer

one match does not made them k/t conquerer:D


It was so close!
KKK/TBH killers Hayakawa Kenichi and Kazuno Kenta lost to Hashimoto Hirokatsu / Hirata Noriyasu 21 -16, 18 - 21, 21 - 23. Final men's match?

and they didnt get killed:p


Nvm, If Fuzzy can win the title

as if they can:rolleyes:
reach final 1st lar

[CLELY]

Today's R/16 is almost over...
Overall, it's good day for INA camp except the unexpected Firda losing.

[badMania]

The well-deserved rest for most of INA players bear fruit as another 2 WD pairs Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii and Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati both progress to the QF. I am pretty sure Nitya/Grace will beat their Japanese opponent tomorrow, but Mel/Shendy will have a tough task over Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda.

[badMania]

Good is probably an understatement :) It's an EXCELLENT day for INA. Who will expect Simon to beat Lee Chong Wei; and for AG/Vita to triumph over Zheng Bo/Ma Jin?

[Jagdpanther]

Haih... Neighboring thread got very hot becos' of me? Gosh, I'm such a bad boy. :o

Ahhh, why?! I did my best to shorten my discussion session with my prof so that I could go back home in time to support CHN team. But... Why ZB/MJ, CL, and JYJ lost? :crying::mad:

Fortunately, as a consolation, most INA players perform exceptionally well.:p
Too bad Firda couldn't keep the momentum...

relax men
ina looks good for titleS here:D

[Jagdpanther]

relax men

Wah, plural form?:eek:
I'm happy enough if INA get 1 title.
MD got Boe/M'sen & Fuzzy, XD got 2 DENs, MS got PSH and BCL.
How can look good mah?
One can only hope.:)

[badMania]

Fortunately, as a consolation, most INA players perform exceptionally well.:p
Too bad Firda couldn't keep the momentum...

Sadly, none of INA current WS player could keep any momentum (if there's any that is).

The presence of our INA BC-members in Tokyo surely help a lot! I do hope INA can return home with at least 1 title.....we are hungry for SS title!

[badMania]

Wah, plural form?:eek:
I'm happy enough if INA get 1 title.
MD got Boe/M'sen & Fuzzy, XD got 2 DENs. How can look good mah?
One can only hope.:)

Slowly, but surely, we can see who will win the titles in MD and XD (especially).

In MD, let's see if Rian/Yoke and AG/Alvent can take out Fairuz/Zakry and Boe/Mogensen. I am pretty sure Tony/Howard will progress to the SF.

In MS, Park Sung Hwan, Bao Chunlai or Peter Gade will be the biggest threat! If Taufik can eliminate Park tomorrow, then left only 1 that will prevent an INA victory in MS!

[Jagdpanther]

If Thomas/Kamilla are still in their WC form (and I'm sure they are), INA's chance to get XD title is pretty low... :(

I think our biggest chance is MD (Kido/Hendra). Provided the pairing already back to 3rd gear, no problem with Kido's knee, and other X-factors are in INA's favor.

Gotta win it. Don't care if 'someone' comments "Kido/Hendra can only win titles when 'a pair' doesn't participate." :p

HJM/SBC, Boe/M'sen, Fuzzy, and Howard/Tony are no small meat...


If Taufik can eliminate Park tomorrow, then left only 1 that will prevent an INA victory in MS!

Uncle Taufik, beating army-look PSH? Well, good luck for him.
I doubt Taufik can do much against MS Top 10...

[swwet_love]

i think everyone forgot NTM who just give us so many surprises, i think he make us a big surprise in this tournament! go NTM

[kuwichert]

Taufik took a long rest and he did not fool around last days, all done in 2 games, so he should have enough power for left over days. Let him go on top again, it's uncle's time again!

[extremenanopowe]

Peace bros and sis. Looks like LCW opt for sushi early bird. ;)

[ye333]

Has Taufik ever lost to PSH? My impression is that all recent encounters, although quite close, are won by Taufik.

[pjswift]

TH should be fresh enough to take care of PSH. Besides ,this might be his chance to win a SS title. Yonex would be delighted to have a one-sleeved champion on the podium!
Looks like the ones who played CM first lost out to the ones just playing JO. Probably a TH vs NTM final.
