INA secured 4 slots in XD, good performance especially Rijal/Debby who eliminated defending champ Fischer/Pedersen yesterday. Possibly INA XD v CHN XD in last four... All top-8 WS seedings fulfill the QF scenario, will all top-4 cruise to semifinal, Wang YH/Li XR/Saina/Wang SX?
There are good news and bad news yesterday for Ina camp. Losing after leading big margin simply unacceptable, but this is new day..we can expect different outcome. Actually I think Polish xd is very good and have good chance to beat XC/MJ
Best match today is between BoMo and Sarang/Kijung(KOR). Can't wait to see the Korean pair good unbeaten run of form come to end (or will it continue ?)... We shall see.....
Badzine reported that Fischer was injured. I am still not convinced that Rijal/Debby can be top 8 pairs, if they win today, maybe they really have improved.
I saw the match yesterday. I'm not impressed with rijal. he missed many easy point other hand i like debby covering front court and her defense.
About 5 or 6 and a half more hours. Still enough time for dinner, badminton session, chit-chatting, downloading films, etc.
3 MAS MS in the last 8! well well well, not sure if this is the first. anyone remember when was the last time that happened
in 2003 All England QF, 4 MAS MS in last 8, Hafiz Hashim, Roslin Hashim, Lee Tsuen Seng, Yong Hock Kin.
