Yep folks, here we go, the lonely knight still needs some support, lets cheer him together:eek::eek::eek:
sorry all INA friends, but you gonna wait for Paris - Taufik's gonna do it there:cool:
Today is Marc's day!:D

..i had foreseen a Gade vs. Sony DK Final match, but all we get to witness is kuwichert's galant knight vs. simonlover's...........village warrior..;):cool:

As for the rest of the matches, the WS was as expected; the XD wasn't a surprise; the WD wasn't a surprise; and the MD wasn't a surprise..

As for Taufik's chance next week in Paris, hmm, not sure abt that as LinDan will probably show up. IMO, this Denmark Open tourney is the one which Taufik should've and could've attended and win his first ever SS title.:cool:

Who would have predicted this. This is when the Europeans will shine. Go Marc and win that damn title!!! Next sacrifice down the line: Lin Dan in French Open.

I still can't believe both Simon and Taufik has never won any of the SS title. :o

I guess DEN wont get any title today, or at least get one, either from XD or MD. Simon, of course he will win, no doubt about it. Marc is just like one hit wonder.

Waw... It's Super Series title.... Simon Santoso will take this. :D:D:D

Gooo Marc Zwiebler, do it for badminton!

Both MZ and SS are aiming for their first ever Super Series title...........interesting....

Its was SDK the biggest loser in Danmark Open 2009......

As for MZ, is the winner already regardless he win or lose in today's final......

i got a feeling Simon gotta take the title...just wait and see....

SiMoon, gambattee!!
Take your first super series title today...
SeMangat!!

The more important thing is:
ytyang suspect that kuwichert is none other than Mr. Marc Zwiebler himself
A bit wierd. LOL :p :p
But there's always possibility bout it :) :)

LOL. We can beat Marc then, just force Simon to wear nice outfit and shoes...:p:p:D:D*jk

Go Marc!!! If he wins this, it'll make history!

If Simon can repeat the feat when he beat DLCW... :)

Simon will probably win but LOOK at MZ road to the finals....wow, impressive

MS: Hope that Marc Zwiebler will win but Simon is not an easy meet. 50-50
WS: Wang Yihan will take the title. 55-45
MD: Hope that KKK/TBH will win the title because they have beaten the Danes pair so many time before. Only lost one time (All England 2009 QF) (Correct me if I wrong, hehe). 60-40
WD: Chinese WD scratch-pair will take this one. 70-30.
XD: Home support advantages for Danes. AC/DK will rely on their exprience to beat the younger opponent pair. 50-50

Just my 50 cents, hehe...

Eeek, the OC put Simon vs Marc as the last match of the day :eek: :eek:
Save the best for last, eh?
They sure know how to tease us :p :p :p

Support Simon..
Hope Simon can save 1 title for INA.

i got a feeling Simon gotta take the title...just wait and see....
yup, based on paper and logically, simon should take this one. But anything can happen:cool:

can u recall back what happen in the last 3 days?:D what surprise that marc gave us?:eek:

all the best to koo/tan too later. I hope they can at least display a much better performance though. come on, play an offensive game!:rolleyes:

it would be very tough for them though as today they wil be up agaisnt boe/morgensen.

my prediction:
PP/ZYW to beat Juhl/Frier 55:45
Tine to beat WYH 51:49
Clark/Kellogg to beat Fischer/Pedersen 51:49
KKK/TBH to beat Boe/Mogensen 51:49
SS to beat MZ 51:49

Eeek, the OC put Simon vs Marc as the last match of the day :eek: :eek:
Save the best for last, eh?
They sure know how to tease us :p :p :p
..it doesn't turn out to be a dud & lopsided match..i thought putting the MD match, as the last match, would be better..

yup, based on paper and logically, simon should take this one. But anything can happen:cool:

can u recall back what happen in the last 3 days?:D what surprise that marc gave us?:eek:

Marc seems definitely in form at the moment, beating WCH, HH, CL, SDK, but i just get it into sense that SS will get SS title george....

Well, if only BC member who watched MZ matches and tell us what kind of play that bring this man into finale, we can discuss it better. :D

..it doesn't turn out to be a dud & lopsided match..i thought putting the MD match, as the last match, would be better..

Yeah, the order of play seems a bit weird :p
I guess putting MD as the last match will be better too :)
As it will involving 2 seeded pairs, one of them also local hope and the match is expected to be interesting (the result may ended up the other way around, though) :rolleyes:
But maybe the OC read this forum, and all the hype about kuwichert, upz i mean Marc Zwiebler :) :)
So they decide to put MS in the last order :cool:

C'mon Pan Pan, make your dad (or whoever your backers) proud *jk
LOL :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

C'mon Pan Pan, make your dad (or whoever your backers) proud *jk
LOL :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Pan Pan's dad very influencial...? she's having what Li Gen is enjoying...? :D

Simon will take it :D
I think Simon is in better form than Sony now.
So, Marc the lone knight' impressive run will stop today.
I hope I won't be wrong for the third time :D in one tourney in MS

I always believed Simon is better physically, but Sony has the best concentration of mind among INA MS players. It is up to Simon to take up the opportunity and deliver.

Marc is under no pressure and because he's under the radar, most of the top players might not know how to counter him properly.

Hi folks, just thinking about renaming the thread right now:confused: should we call it Marc's day, not only finals day:eek::eek::eek:
Hey buddies, just follow the rules and keep on supporting the one and only real underdog! Marc go, Marc go:cool::cool::cool:

ehm, would like to be able to play like Marc is doing, but my performance is not that good LOL:mad: , so I'm only here cheering the lonely knight who keeps on fighting for his live today, and hopefully, she can do it again:D:D
while I gotta give my old bones a little rest, after the battles yesterday they keep on hurting me:mad:
Marc's victory may bring some badminton on german tv next:confused: , do we have some friends recording the historical match from Astro for us?? :rolleyes:
others to support are KKK of course, he buddies, get the title!:cool:
and don't forget the locals - it's nice to see Tine back, give her full support!
and Kamilla and Lena are the other underdogs , full support for both Dans! they have to break the great wall and to ensure the 'non CN title' SS tournament! little punishment for them for staying away with the top guns and beside of that it makes it more entertaining also!
For the Mixed, yep keep on cheering England pair, 3 title for Dans too many LOL :D:D:D

Everybody knows what to do now? Hope so, gotta start praying now:eek:

Marc, Marc, Marc, just do it again!:eek:

that would be easy, just raise the speed and don't fool around as Mr. Yoyo has shown, if Marc can take out the speed, he gets his chance.
Anyway, we have to cheer up Marc, don't let him alone!:eek::eek::eek:
Marc go go go:cool:

Lets GO MARC!
