Here's the pick of the day: MEN'S SINGLES ROUND OF 32 Lin Dan vs Tommy Sugiarto -- an interesting clash between current world no 1 and the current WJC runners-up. I will be happy if Tommy can take a set off the Chinese player. Ng Wei vs Wong Choong Hann (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- another cracking match in store and I pick the Malaysian. Lee Tsuen Tseng vs Tan Chun Seang -- the veteran to beat the young gun! Bjorn Joppien vs Anup Sridhar -- home favorites to sail through... MEN'S DOUBLES ROUND OF 16 Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae vs David Lindley/Chris Langridge -- the English pair has troubled INA pairs before....but..the powerful Koreans should take it. Chan Choong Ming/Hoon Thien How vs Naoki Kawamae/Keishi Kawaguchi -- a breeze for the Malaysians. Sigit Budiarto/Frans Kurniawan vs Mike Beres/William Milroy -- a tougher test for the Djarum pair.... Lim Khim Wah/Mak Hee Chun vs Hwang Ji Man/Lee Jae Jin -- the young Malaysians beat Bona/Akshan in 2 close sets...they should trouble the Koreans... Yoo Yeon Seong/Han Sang Hoon vs Shen Ye/Xu Chen -- interesting match between new pairs...the Koreans to win.. Tan Bin Shen/Ong Soon Hock vs Albertus Susanto Njoto/Yohan Wiratama Hadikusumo (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Malaysian pair has an edge...
German Open on Astro hey, does anyone know if Astro Supersport will be showing the Finals for the German Open this weekend? i was surprised but happy that they broadcasted the Austrian Open last Sunday....hopefully they'll show some more badminton this weekend!
Yeah, Tommy's step will stop at this round. INA hopes this young man will follow CHN's CJ who didn't take long time to enter the elite (even CJ's current WR is #2). Who knows??
Roslin lost the first set to Juergen Koch 20-22. Will he be able to turn it around? That's what're we going to find out.
Good fight from Tommy in the 2nd game. LD eventually wins 21-12, 21-19 Ng Wei catching WCH 17-19 now 2nd game Ng Wei at game point 20-19 but WCH saves it 20-20
