Nice to see Intanon advanced to the semi-final of a PSS. I believe her CBSL stint is paying dividends (they even get an interpreter to assist the provincial coach for her benefit). Hope she doesn't tire herself out though playing continually.

Ha ha.. I didn't expect such a reply.. Wonderful... Yeah.. Its like " Am using this shoes.. So.. I ask everybody to keenly watch my shoes and buy similar kind of shoes..Ok?..".. Anyhow, great player who is in decreasing end of her career.. I hope to come back soon and play atleast one final before she retires.

LXR has a tough job - trying to keep the WS title in home soil.

In the history of the China Masters and China Open, only once did a non-CHN player win (Wong Mew Choo in 2007). Although Zhou Mi also won China Masters in 2008 when playing for HK.

No need to worry too much for China. CBA always think and plan long-term. After working towards the Olympics successfully, getting all their players to peak just at the right time, it's understandable and normal to come down from a high which then requires sometime to build it up again. Whatever problems.setbacks they are facing now is only temporary. You can view it as a teething problem as they reorganize themselves for the next push which LYB has said it's the WC next year.

The emergence of the Chinese young upstarts is a sign of what is to come from China.

You underestimated the current form of juliane. Usually , i never seen a separate coach to juliane sofar. But she brought a coach here in order to assist her during tenser moments. But the way she played yihan was excellent. They ran all the courts and took everything thrown at them. Wonderful match today. So, you cant predict the semifinal match that easily. Juliane has increased her game multifolds after olympics like saina.. So, lets see how ratchanok performs tomorrow

**limsy** · 11-16-2012, 08:28 AM

i pawed the opponent of koo/tan
wakakakaka

**nokh88** · 11-16-2012, 08:28 AM

In tomorrow's MS SF, it's 1 MAS and 3 CHN and the odd one out is Chong Wei Feng. Sounds familiar?

that china open 2007 was one of the darkest tournament ever!(ms final

)

Hope to see Wang Zengming in the final, not that easy as Chen Jin may have other ideas. It's high time for Wang ZM to make his mark.

**speedyJT** · 11-16-2012, 08:30 AM

I hope Schenk can take revenge from the Olympics tomorrow...

**nkt0811** · 11-16-2012, 08:31 AM

koo/tan is deep trouble now...

**Justin L** · 11-16-2012, 08:31 AM

Much as I respect and admire Juliane, I'm rooting for Intanon tomorrow. Hope she make it to the final, not easy though.

**KB@TB Em** · 11-16-2012, 08:33 AM

come on Yoo/Shin!! I hope Yoo has enough stamina after his MX QF win over Fischer/Pedersen...
Koo/Tan also trailing 11-12...
Hope these two pairs accomplish the SF MD, should be fireworks then...
