[sen]

Indonesia and Korea has 11 representatives left. Only 1 match involving both Korea and no matches between both INA players. Host Taiwan only has 5 left and 2 of their doubles players have to play twice

Tai Tzu Ying vs Ratchanok again in WS.

[etudiant]

INA should take full advantages by putting so many players in sf although it's no easy feat

Match of the day should be : Sony v Mr. Yoyo HH

[skchen]

MHH v SDK: MHH has the edge.
NTM(1) v SWH(9): NTM should win.
T Sugiato(6) v CWF: TS has the edge.
NTM should be able to win back-to-back GP tournaments and it is hoped he could land a SS title soon.

My nomination for the 'Match of the Day' is the Inthanon Ratchanok-vs-Tai Tzu Ying match.

Here are their 2 past matches results;

* 15-Oct-2010 - Indonesia GP Gold
Inthanon Ratchanok defeated Tai Tzu Ying 21-18, 21-18 in 32 minutes.

* 20-Apr-2011 - Badminton Asia Championships
Tai Tzu Ying defeated Inthanon Ratchanok 21-19, 17-21, 22-20 in 56 minutes.

Will today's match be longer than 1 hour?

Tai Tzu Ying vs Ratchanok again in WS.

The battle of promising young star, who will win this time?

[fathonezic]

Ow/Tan is very good pair. quite talented and promising....

[fathonezic]

The battle of promising young star, who will win this time?

both are equally good.
any of them can win.
but i think, Tai will take this one..... anyway, this will be a very very tight match.
i agree, this should be the match of the day...

[Jagdpanther]

Ow/Tan is very good pair. quite talented and promising....

If I'm not mistaken, they have just been paired recently.
Let's wait and see. New pair often make surprise, just like Mak Hee Chun/Tan Wee Kiong's early performance as a pair. Several big wins, and suddenly they have their own thread.
Now, what happened with that combo?

[CLELY]

Not good prospect for Kido/Setiawan, losing first set 13-21 and trailing 5-11 at interval second game to KOR's Kim/Shin...

[CantSmashThis]

Wow yeah, Kido/Setiawan lost, surprised.

[fathonezic]

Linda lost...
but i am quite happy with Linda's performance....
from her result, we can see that she shows some improvement i think

[madbad]

Oops, I guess I must have miscalculated the time

As expected a tight match between TTY and Rat 17-17
