Swiss OPEN GPG 2012 Semifinal and Final

[madbad]

If that's going to be the case, it will be so painful for WSX...

And much less so for the spectators, hehe

[volcom]

I think that's the general consensus at the moment but who knows what's going on in LYB's devious mind.

Indeed as the case with persisting with Zhang Ning instead of Zhu Lin for Bejing....

Masterstroke back then...

Yeah, haha

CBA inner competition is very tight, once you could not deliver the result, you will be out of the screen for sure...This is what going to happen in a nation that has done its regeneration so well. LXR & JYJ along with other young WS have been sent to the small, medium, & big tournaments regularly so that they are able to taste the atmosphere & pressure, additionally for the CBA in general it will be a preparation for plan B, in case one of the Top 3 WS fail to deliver up to stated expectation, young shuttlers are there to continue CBA domination. A good plan by CBA & LXR who is able to perform well & convert the pressure into motivation. Securing 1 post in CBA OG team is just unimaginable reward.

In my opinion, this is somewhat LD trying to give a hint to the world by saying on an interview that he was hoping CBA so called VIP do not hesitate while registering his name to the OG Squad in MS.

this Swiss Open is kinda interesting. It's so dark, you can hardly see the sponsors advertisement. If I were the sponsors, I will want my money back.

btw, this Women Singles saga is so much more entertaining comparing to the rest of the Olympics games. What are the following people thinking right now:

1. The three Wangs: How can they obey LYB's order and fight for their own right to qualify the Olympics at the same time? "Should I fight the other two Wangs instead of LXR?"

2. LXR: "Will I lose my best friend if I try too hard?" "Should I wait four years instead?" "What if I am chosen instead of one of the other three Wangs, will no one ever wants to be my friend again within the Chinese team?"

3. Saina, Tine, etc: "Should I lose intentionally against LXR in the next few weeks?"

I think it is LXR's turn for a test in Australian open. She is the only top chinese WS in the tournament. If she beat every body and come up as the winner, her chance to go to olympics will increase significantly.

Ohhhh Nooooo....means WSX is out of the Olympics..if that's really what Lyb is going to do.....damnnnnn

I hate it, dark and gloomy. I like to see the crowds, coaches, line shots etc which is sorely missed in this SO. On the plus side, it would be good for the players as they can easily see the shuttle and less lighting distractions.

[bad's fan]

yeah, chen jin proved that he, at least, was a world champion afterall. haha

congratz to all the winners. about the chinese WS speculation, won't give any thinking on that becoz it's LYB's job.

Have you not watched the German Open and All England?? It is exactly the same setup! Except the AE has better court lighting (and/or better camera's) ... But not a fan of it myself either.

[nokh88]

Swiss Open had no camera to capture the tight net shots and straight at the lines. There were probably only 2 or 3 cameras.

[demolidor]

3 I believe yes. But the point was the dark lighting setup ... (for finals day I think it is okay but not the early rounds)
Anyhoo don't know what the b*tch*ng is about, it's a GPG level event now. Perhaps you can tell me which other GPG events other than German x2 come even close?

Personally, I like this type of set-up;
(1) Lights shining from the sides, and
(2) Spectators darkened at the stands.

This type of set-up eliminates most of the distraction encountered by players.
