Hello, everybody, I m kinda curious and sad bcoz almost all top guns were KO in the beginning rounds? They re: 1 Lars/Jonas vs THAI MD in round 1 2 Jens/Lungaard vs INA MD in round 1 3 Chen Yu vs Nguyen in round 2 4 Xie Zhong Bo vs Latif in QF 5 Boonsak vs Kuan Ben Hong in round 2 6 Shintaro vs TAIWAN MD in round 2 7 Alvent & Lulu vs MAS MD in round 2 8 Laybourn vs TAIWAN MD in round 1 9 Pi Hong Yan vs Firda in round 2 10 Etc, (but I dont care bout WD ====> 99.99% Chinese, right? ) What s wrong with them? Can't be a coincidence, Huh? However, these are the best games that I found(in my opinion): 1 PG vs LCW in SF 2 ZB & GL vs Clark/ Kellogg 3 Tine vs Wong Mew Chow in SF Please reply if u know something wrong or if u re interested .
INA Open Upset? Well, but I think this s the greatest number of upset in Badminton SS. Can the same things happened again in INA OPEN 08 :crying:?
If you read the threads for each day, there's a total of 17 upsets for this tourney. That is, seeded players/pairs who lost to lower ranking ones. So far, finals no upset as yet.
wait i do some research 1st...count how many match that actually is an upset but not in official list...
saina win over yao jie helle nielsen/marie roepke over jiang yan mei/li yu jia xing ai ying over judith yonatan/rian over je/ml ten on first day... seven on day 2(not counting helle/rasmus over rijal/greysia...anyne want count in???) four one 3rd day... so...totally 21(17 official,4 not official...)
