Only 30% full to watch matches at the venue? Looks like the organisers are disappointed.

Are you referring to the spectators or the players? Spectators, there were many aunties. I had one grandma sitting behind making a lot of comments to herself.

As for the players, please see 3rd last photo for the one in red with the bottle. She should be from HK and look like the actress Vicky Zhao Wei. It was a sad say for the HK camp as many of their players lost.

Sorry for the poor quality photos. Using hp. I tried to "space" the photos for better viewing but not successful.

Weekdays are like that and without many big players. The admission fee was RM10.00. Today should be RM20.00 and Astro is showing live on Channel 811.

I can't think of any countries with a strong & reliable 3rd Singles except for China & Denmark (for Thomas Cup 2012).
Hope Sony can get to the Final and meet LCW, then we will have a better gauge of Sony's form.

There is still Takuma and maybe Hafiz next. Hopefully Sony slow recovery also include endurance to consistently at least near his top level of his glory.

You, in Malaysia, are lucky to be able to watch the matches live.

BCers outside Malaysia are still unable to find a link for live-streaming yet.

@nokh88

Is there any Yonex Booth that sell Yonex Apparel?

**ngkt67** · 05-03-2012, 09:54 PM

hope LCW do walkover in QF match in order to make way for CWF to improve his ranking...

Really hoping that SDK able to face Dato LCW, so that INA Team may gauge SDK improvement. If SDK able to go back on form, INA chances of winning TC this year is bigger..

MS QF
Tommy Sugiarto [3] vs Sourabh Varma [7] - a tricky tie against the Indian player awaits Tommy but I still expect him to fulfill his seeding.

Takuma Ueda [5] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro - it was an excellent result for Sony in beating Nguyen Tien Minh yesterday. Hopefully, this spurs him to perform well again today.

WS QF
Busanan Ongbumrungpan vs Aprilia Yuswandari [4] - the Thai player is one of the many WS players coming out of the conveyor belt and she reached R16 of WJC 2011. But since then, she had beaten Xing Ai Ying and Hera Desi (at the Vietnam IC 2011) and Hwang Hye Young (at the BAC 2012). So, definitely not a weak opponent for April. I still hope April can fulfill her seeding.

XD QF
Riky Widianto/Richi Dili Puspita vs Kim Dae Eun/Ko A Ra - as always, a match against KOR will be tough. It will be an excellent result if Riky/Richi can reach SF here.

Mohd Razif Abdul Latif/Amelia Alicia Anscelly vs Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Angraini - ditto for Irfan/Weni.

Yup, I looked up high to the stands behind all the courts and can't find any "big" cameras except some small recorders put up by the players/coaches.

Yes, there always have. I didn't do any window shopping but learnt from my friend that they were very much cheaper that what he bought before.

Unfortunately, players/coaches are too busy; No time to post their videos for us at BC.

She already injured herself in so many tournaments and forced to concede a few walkovers already. IS her injury that serious? Why don't she take a good long rest or do a surgery if possible? There's no point if she keeps participating in a tournament and forced to concede walover and lost the match like that

In the MS, I cannot imagine anybody other than Lee CW taking the title here, he really cannot afford to let his narrow defeat at Shon's hand break his spirit and set off a downward spiral,by hook or by crook he must redeem himself with a resounding though expected victory,nothing less - I've faith in him.

In the WS, will Sindhu,a young hopeful,sail into the final? Seeing the second round unforeseen or unanticipated outcomes, I'm not so sure about that now. Expect the unexpected. Still, can't helped but hazard a guess - Sindhu (maybe TK Chan has a fighting chance?) and Aprilla/Nozomi final.

Xing Aiying's wins were a big surprise. I thought she has almost given up being a professional player since she played so badly before this tournament.

Let's see whether she could win today to enter the SF tomorrow.
