Today (22nd May) only stage level 2 (group A & B) & 3 (group A & B) matches, 1 day rest for all quarterfinalists of level 1. Order of play (22nd May) : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...73BF77-2860-4DE4-A417-7DED98403934&d=20130522 MAS time : http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_MY.aspx KNOCK-OUT Stage DRAWING has been conducted last night : http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/s...d=A573BF77-2860-4DE4-A417-7DED98403934&draw=5 Order of play (23rd May) : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...73BF77-2860-4DE4-A417-7DED98403934&d=20130523 Quarterfinal 1 : CHN v INA (23 May, 12.00pm local time) Quarterfinal 2 : KOR v GER (23 May, 12.00pm) Quarterfinal 3 : TPE v DEN (23 May, 06.00pm) Quarterfinal 4 : JPN v THA (23 May, 06.00pm) The worst scenario happens to INA team as they must face again the mighty Chinese tomorrow after group stage match yesterday. I guess not much changes for CHN line-up, INA will field their best Towi/Liliyana and Lindaweni to replace Rijal/Debby & Aprilia respectively. Big chance for KOR and JPN to progress into semifinal, interesting clash of both teams in last four Best luck for INA team
Bad for INA team. be in the same Group with China n hope to avoid China in quarterfinal, but they to face it. MS & WD will goes to China. INA hope to sweep WS, MD & XD..
The matches have started and from all the 12 players on court, I only recognize Eric Pang and he is leading 10-8 against Canada.

Philippines 3 - 2 Sri Lanka. The 2 matches that SL won featured that incredible guy Niluka Karunaratne. PHI won the WD, XD and WS. France routed Austria 5-0, while Ukraine won 4-1 over Turkey. The Turk WD featuring Yigit Neslihan and Bayrak Ozge won in 3 hard-fought games, but that was scant consolation.
Anatoly Yartsev of Russia? I thought they would field Malkov or Ivanov, maybe this guy has potential (he's new to me).
For Level 1 , do we know who are the possible SF opponents? Or would there be a draw lots again after QF?
USA is heading to another defeat - next up is the towering Ivanov and Sozonov. Gabriel Ulldahl just beat Kieran Merrillees - convincingly too. And I thought Kieran was doing pretty good in previous matches. Score now 1-1. But not for long - the Gilmour girl is next.
The draw is fixed http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/s...d=A573BF77-2860-4DE4-A417-7DED98403934&draw=5
Sabrina Jacquet was forced to 3 games by Aussie big hair girl Verdet - despite controlling the rallies. Luckily Verdet stopped playing badminton at 13-13 in the rubber. Not bad looking - this Russian girl Polikarpova. USA should look into more, ahem, model type girls to match Russia in the looks dept. Cos they can't beat Russians on court.
Line up CHN VS INA Xu/Ma v Tontowi/Liliyana Chen v Tommy Cai/Fu v Rian/Angga Li - Linda Wang/Yu v Liliyana/Nitya! #SudirmanCup
INA fields Liliyana to play 2 categories to push XD (the best chance for INA) as first match, nice strategy! KOR v GER line-up => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...A573BF77-2860-4DE4-A417-7DED98403934&match=42 Nothing different from yesterday's roster for both teams.
i disagree with that. i think INA has more chance in MD than XD considering FHF/CY's out of competitive matches recently and AT/NL lost to XC/MJ the last 3 times they played. but then, they didn't know which XD pair China to field.
