Swiss Open 2006 Semis (Saturday)

With his step into the final I boldly predict that LYB will pick Xia into the Thomas Cup squad again. With his skill and his experience in team event, he will make a very strong third singles.

Sure. You are right. Bao CL knows how to play, but he doesn't know how to win. Xia knows how to win, that's important.

Wong CH seems to lose his cool. Wong just let Lee to fight Xia in the final. How disappointed!

Sang Yanggot injured so he had to witdrawn from MD and XD match in the SF. Too bad.

At least Zhao TT still got her chance in WD tomorrow.

So tomorrow final will be:

MS : Xia Xuan Ze VS Lee Chong Wei

WS : Zhu Lin VS Xu Huai Wen

MD : Boe/Morgensen VS Chang/Koo

WD: Zhang/Zhao TT VS Du /Yu

XD : Nathan/Gail VS Blair/Munt.

So far China and England already got 1 title from WD and XD .

So, China is unbeatable in all semis, unbeatable by their opponents, but beatable by injuries.

with 4 out of 6 advanced, the other 2 withdrew. None was defeated.

By the way, I think it is Zheng Bo instead Sang Yang withdrew from both events.

I'm so pleased that Xia beat Gade and Xu beat Mia.

i cant imagine xia beat peter gade in 2 straight sets..i think it would be a close 3 sets game..Xia is really on fire!

go go go brother BIG MOUTH!!!

Congratulations to Xia for beating Peter Gade in straight games. He is certainly making a strong comeback this year. I am not sure about the chances of Lee CW being crowned the title.The Chinese squad is doing well despite the absence of their top shuttlers especially WD. They dominate the event by making it an all Chinese affair in the final. Zhu Lin also stole the show by beating Pi Yan Hong easily. Let's see whether she can beat Xu HW in the final. The MS and WS finals promises some excitement tonite!

Huh, I thought Zheng Bo is the one playing mixed double, not Sang Yang? How come he also withdrew from XD? Or have they been beaten by the English pair?

Anyway, I love to see Xia's name in the final again. Go Xia!!
