Malaysia Open 2009: Day 2 (Round 1) Wednesday January 7

[badadum]

Man.....after saving 6 mp...sasaki finally relent and let HH advanced to the next round. Kinda bummer of an ending...

[madbad]

That YOYO HH is a nightmare. No more PAWing on him

A very interesting contest going on between India's Pawar and Taiwan's Hsuan. Both at 22-22 in first game.

.
This is really not good news for Pawar. He should lead and win his 1st game with ease.

I know, Indian players have been very unpredicatable and this is one of the reason why this game despite being so popular in India has not produced any good names at world level. Lack of finesse is disturbing for their fans.
Still hope, with so many participants this time, we get quality play.

wat do u mean by unpredicatable? I think Indian players are quite predicatable, they usually crash out before R16.

Finesse? I always thought Indian players possessed a huge amount of finesse. Wasn't their achilles heel fitness?

You can say that. But being an Indian I will certainly prefer using word finesse

[etudiant]

Hsieh Yu Hsin leading comfortably vs LTS

I think Indian players still playing the style of 80-ish! Lop & Drop...

And seldom see them on international tournament for the past few years, maybe due to no-government support?

[etudiant]

still neck to neck in Pawar's match....and this is 3rd set.....

Don't worry ... English players are just the same.
I thought Andrew Smith would win comfortably in his first match, but he's just lost.

Actually, yes. Badminton is gradually becoming popular here. But still, there's no cable channel that provides live feeding of tournaments (or at least, none that I know of). Solar Sports (or maybe Studio 23) shows a badminton match on Saturdays. But that's all.

But you still have (or used to ??) one of the strongest pair in Mixed Doubles...

[vpsingh]

Well Pawar has lost but Sridhar is through to next round. Some good news for Indian fans :-)
