Justice in the end as Mogensen's handling of the shuttle during service should have been a Malaysian point.

[kuwichert]

Yeah, it's done, it's over KKK took it :cool:

and now folks, you know what to do?:confused:

cheer up the lonely knight! Maaaarrrrrrccccc! go go go, do it again, just one step left now:eek:

[Blurry D]

KKK and TBH deserve the win.They really kept their focused.

[whack_d_net]

Congratz for KKK/TBH for the title and WR #1 as well :) :)
DEN 2
CHN 1
MAS 1
Next The last gold in MS event: INA or GER? :p :p

[abedeng]

Koo was serving to Boe, at 15-16. The shuttle went wide towards Mogensen, but he caught it with his hand instead of letting it drop out. In the rulebook, that should be a Malaysian point because Mogensen cannot take the shuttle until the third shot.

The referee did not attend to Koo's complaint and instead Koo was yellow carded.

[limsy]

hmm
i can smell the victory
hehe
if they win
pemuda is wrong that they an only get one ss in 2009:p

hehe
koo/tan get 2nd ss this year:p

[Thom_bad]

Poor Boe/Mogensen !

Well, they did a good job..

No, they won't. :p

[abedeng]

Wasn't actually the best performance from Koo. Fortunately Tan is more confident at the net.

Wait, Pemuda's prediction did mentioned 2 ss for kkk/tbh. Or i was wrong? :p

[abedeng]

Imagine, the shortest match tonite is women's singles at 65 minutes. Already almost 5 hours of action.

[Blurry D]

Mogensen caught a shuttle but umpire didn't want to give the point to Malaysia. She asked to play a let.

Koo given a yellow card. Asking for the referee.

I hope BWF look into this. Even if the service judge did not see it Morgensten should should not have caught the shuttle. Even so if it was on the worng court.

[limsy]

No, they won't. :p

why?


Wasn't actually the best performance from Koo. Fortunately Tan is more confident at the net.

Danes have improved on their defense and drive game. Excellent match, bar the controversy.

yes
koo not well mar:)

[abedeng]

Hmm, Zweibler is not that tall. That should automatically make him very agile.

Should be interesting, this one. Another 3 gamer perhaps.

[limsy]

Wait, Pemuda's prediction did mentioned 2 ss for kkk/tbh. Or i was wrong? :p

2 for lcw
one for koo/tan:)

[Thom_bad]

Marc is the only non-seeded player playing a final !
Actually he spent more time than Simon on the court and would be very tired.

i would bet for Simon

[Blurry D]

Becoming a commentator is not easy man. Gillian Clark has been commenting since the first game.. 5 hours plus..

[limsy]

[abedeng]

Service fault against Marc, that's a first in singles competition.

[kuwichert]

All tie 3-3
Go Simon :)

[abedeng]

Good chance for Marc but he muffs it.

[kuwichert]

don't tell me anybody he wears dark socks or ugly shoes today:confused::confused::confused:

[abedeng]

Simon picks up pts from Marc's errors.

[abedeng]

Marc's backhand cross is too acute.

Simon leads by 3

[naistav]

Wow, Marc is playing agressively. No wonder he was able to beat those seededs

[abedeng]

Another miss by Marc after good buildup.

[abedeng]

Marc forced to hurry his shots, and this is working against him. Simon by 5

[whack_d_net]

Looking good for Simon 9-4
Go! :)
