Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Open SS 2012: Day 5 (24th November) - Semifinals Day

It seems li xuerui toying with wang lin

[pathan]

another LXR vs WYH final... a little hard to tell who will win this time.

[Justin L]

From Livescore,LXR is trouncing Wang Lin. Would have preferred to see LXR play Juliane earlier, didn't expect WYH to give us such a wonderful match.

[scorpion1]

Li xuerui is fresh since her yesterday's match was cancelled as she got a walkover. So, she uses all her potential energy to kinetic energy

[Justin L]

Tomorrow's final is a replay of the London Olympics, except WYH not fully fit and LXR not in top form. Should be worth watching though, their rivalry can only intensify.

[scorpion1]

Juliane disappointed me today morning.. I wish her for her future tournaments..

[scorpion1]

All chinese finals would be boring.. Not interesting to watch..

[scorpion1]

Wang Lin got her previous form???? Lol .. she was completely outmanuevered by li.

[Justin L]

Easy does it for LXR,21-12,21-13. Good training for Wang Lin who will continue to improve and rise among the top soon, I believe.

All Chinese non-finals may sometimes not exciting because of the you-know-why reasons. Yet all-Chinese Finals of this kind of competition will very likely offer you the highest level of badminton...

[mrinalini]

I predict a walkover from WYH tomorrow. Meh! If they do play and LXR goes all out, it's hard to imagine how badly WYH will be whipped.

I half expected LXR to throw the match in favour of WL today so that the latter could improve her ranking - it's good to see that didn't happen. Still, kudos to WL for coming thus far. Even after suffering such a horrific injury and despite being in far from her best shape, she was still able to thrash a player who was supposedly guaranteed a place in the final. LOL!

[scorpion1]

"Even after suffering such a horrific injury and despite being in far from her best shape" , hmmm.. Good. Atleast she was able to reach a semifinal match in one superseries this year.. lol... Kudos to saina for having won 4 titles this year and especially with her knee problems, she was able to take a title in Denmark and runner up in France.

[Justin L]

Tommy is putting up a very good fight going by the score so far.

[Justin L]

Don't under-estimate Tommy. He can progress this far shows something. His style is very similar to Chen Jin,I must say.

[Justin L]

Still cannot find any livestreaming, grrr...argh.

[Justin L]

One thing about The Dragon,he often switches to rallying mode instead of attacking mode.

[Justin L]

A very respectable score of 21-18 defeat for Tommy. Expect Chen Long to go on the attack in G2 after securing G1.
