    Don't wanna be politically incorrect here, I think I just seal my lips about their walk-over win over compatriot, world-no-1, first-seed Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen.

    Anyone know what is it this time? Injury? :rolleyes:

    Yeah It feels a bit funny.

    Thing is though the semi final against the Koreans has to be the best game of badminton i've seen.

    Was an absolute gem of a match that got a standing ovation from the crowd when the Gao/Huang finally won.

    Total travesty that it wasn't televised but to put it into perspective the match lasted 125 minutes with the 3rd game lasting an hour.

    Some of the rallies where so long that each woman had a go at smashing/dropping to win the point until they had to take a rest by just clearing for a few shots before getting back into trying to win the point.

    Th poor girls where absolutely knackered & TBH I don't know how Ra played her mixed this morning.
