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

[phil-mm]

Takuma!!!!!! 21-2 21-0!!!!!!!

I feel really sorry for his opponent

In table tennis, the winner will usually give a diplomatic point.
So no one goes home with a zero, lol.

Karen Foo Kune got dumped in the qualifiers! Suddenly, the lights have dimmed....
There's A Killing U May Anticipate, Unless Ernest Defends Actively. (sadly, Ernest did not... )
Cheng Shao Chieh plays YipPY in round 1. I'm rooting for CSC to win this title. PLEEEEEASE!!!!!!

With LXR's pull-out(I daresay she's in a class of her own here),the tournament is thrown wide open - Han Li,Wang Lin,Inthanon R, Tai TY,Sung JH,Cheng SC and one or two surprise finalists(Mitani,Yao Xue,Goto,Gu Juan?)

For MS, Chen Jin,Sho Sasaki,Taufik are my favourites to take the title.

In the Western world, the surname/family name always comes last.

I know! I was momentarily confused as when I see the names normally my head sees them as they "should" be. Ot was just because i haven't seen her name for so long, it confused me!

[jamesd20]

Yup, Takuma Ueda only produced 2 mistakes in whole match, hard to believe

It could have been his opposition playing good shots!!!

Don't worry... Perhaps a photo of the CHN team is better.

Much better! Thanks!

Hope her knee is all better and she doesnt have any recurrences. The injury may make her more motivated and mature in her play.

Can someone help put a name to some of the faces in the Team CHN pic.

[LD rules!]

Can someone help put a name to some of the faces in the Team CHN pic.

Let's face it, you're only interested in pictures of one particular Korean player

Well, if someone has taken a pic of this particular Korean player, I would appreciate it if she could be allowed to grace these pages.

Any help on the CHN players? Some unrecognized new faces in there.

I think Tian Houwei is the one top row first on the left, and I think that Li Gen's partner is the one that is sitting next to him, (can't be certain about that one)

And of course Li Gen is the guy top row third from the left:P he's quite easy to recoqnise

Not only that Wang Lin's knee is having problems, Taufik is also worrying about his right knee (so I was told).

Yeah! Who's the sad old man in the front row, to the right?

I stand corrected on the last one, it looks more like He Hanbin than Li Gen...

TTY retired in game 2 at 21-9 2-0, handing over the match to Mitani Minatsu. Retired hurt, maybe?

Who is Deng Yuting?
Deng Yuting is the latest in a long line of WD partners for Bao Yixin.
The n'th new pairing lost in round 2 in 3 games to MAS pair Chin Ee Hui and Wong Pei Tty.
Scratch this combo, eh?
