2012 German Open GP Gold: Qualifications to Quarter-Finals matches

[Licin]

Linda vs Petya 21-10 ; 21-15

[pjswift]

Oh...I have totally forgotten that there's Lindaweni Fanetri left in the WS Draw. Well, maybe she can be INA's lone representative tomorrow, that is if she can get past Petya Nedeltcheva.

Lindaweni makes sure you will never overlook her again.

[Licin]

Great.. SImon has progressed to the next round after 3 sets battle with Anand Pawar of India

[badMania]

Simon Santoso struggles to beat Anand Pawar. Once again, a 7-pts lead at 12-5 is wasted and he only manages to edge out the Indian player 21-19 in the rubber-set.

[badMania]

Tommy Sugiarto checks in to R16 as he beat Kazushi Yamada 22-20, 25-23. That's probably the maximum he can reach as he will face an uphill task against Lee Hyun Il [4] for a place in the QF.

Meanwhile, Simon should progress to QF as he faces Ashton Chen Yong Zhao next.

[Pakito]

LD just lost foot soldier WZM on his half of the draw. Thomsen beat him 21-12, 21-18.

LD will have to carry on on his own now.

Once touted as an up and coming player, WZM is drifting into the oblivion of twilight years.

WOW, did someone miss this result? Somewhat of an upset, no?

I know someone is upset

Lindaneni Fanetri has a chance of progressing to the QF as she faces one of Europe's bright talent in Carolina Marin.

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono lost to Sho Sasaki [3] as expected.

The newly formed XD pair of Hendra Setiawan/Vita Marissa won their 3rd match as they beat the young Thai pair in straight-sets 21-8, 21-16. After the London Olympics, I think Hendra should just focus on XD and returns to Pelatnas. There will be plenty of talents in XD (like the lanky Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja). That will be an awesome combination!

[madbad]

Also noticed Eriko had a huge fightback from 7-15 in the rubber before taking out Fu MT 22-20.

This wasn't a bad result for the Canadians, albeit against the slowing veterans

Pan Pan won–bleah!

Sindhu finding it infinitely harder on the senior circuit, bowing to GU Juan

Ashton Chen eliminated the other "Chong Wei" Feng rather easily.

[madbad]

What a tight first game! Sapsiree cross court drive surprises BJY 25-25.

BJY deep push to Sapsiree's backhand is good. SJH 26-25

BJY clears wide. 26-26

Nice drop and follow up by BJY. BJY 27-26

Sapsiree catches BJY and her shot is wide. 27-27

Sapsiree has BJY running all over the place and forces a wide lift. Sapsiree 28-27

BJY pushes Spasiree's low serve long and the G1 marathon is over. 29-27

BJY is all bent over and drops her racket in disappointment (and probably exhaustion)

[KB@TB Em]

phua Lee Yong Dae / Ha Jung Eun fought back in 2nd set after a disappoiting first set, now leading 7-4

What does she mean by "living in a movie"?

Cutie #2 fighting back at the right time, from 15-17 to 20-18.

And the Koreans take G1 21-18
