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

So, LD rules, now you have to give up badminton, lol

Nah, he defeated CJ last week. Taufik is the kind of player who loves to play-play and lazy start. He rarely demolished much weaker player.
Taufik still deserve top 10-15 and enjoy his game.

I think Taufik should consider retiring before the Olympics..He should have done so when he won the last Asian games in 2006.....now people start to think he is crap.....look at him.....stretched by Derek wong before winning and now Henri Huskainen is giving him a hard time..sad ending for this player..

Sometimes I wonder what is Taufik motivation. He is very rich, even richer than Lee Chong Wei. He does not need another World Championship title or Olympic gold.

Some might even be suspicious and thinks that Taufik has side bet when he played badly against low rank opponent. When he shows that he can still beat Chen Jin, suspicions like that can arise.

Thanks for the information. It is good to see more and more upcoming European stars, from now on nobody can just underestimate Europeans any more, just like the same fate that befell ZZ

But Pedro Martins surely is in a different (talent) league compared to the Bulgarian . Anyhoo he has been away for a while, injured iirc and other stuff so already out of juniors a couple of years before Axelsen, probably already 21 by now (edit: just turned 22).

"Been away" is all relative : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/fi...3E64CC&q=57034

Under the radar is more like it!

I must say this style of presentation/ tournament setup looks very depressing . Almost glad I am not there (almost) ...
No point in doing it untill matches are broadcast on tv imo ... (darkening the surroundings and spots on the court)

Hahaha...... This should teach LD rules! a lesson.

.

Don't worry, HE may be out of badminton (no need to keep slapping himself for regretting what he said) but Lin Dan will continue to rule And LD rules! will continue to appear on this forum, welcome back!

What exactly do you mean with tournament setup? The setup of all players?

I'm really a little bit sad about the missing LCW. Now even PG is missing due his foot injury...
CJ and CL seem to be the most interesting MS-playeres there. Tien Minh Nguyen is maybe also interesting to watch - very special playing style.

Whatever, it's the first tournament I'm going to watch right in the near of the court and the players themself I hope I will be anyways.

Vita/Nadya take first set 21-16
2nd set 3-3

Come on, you can beat Cheng/Chien again, Vita/Nadya

No, that the hall is so dark. Maybe it looks good for tv broadcasting or maybe it is not as dark as it looks in real life but in the end it's not a cinema or theater . I was going to go but the [WDN] virus has also affected me
