Malaysia Open 2009: Day 5 (Semi-Finals) Saturday January 10

Whenever Peter Gade plays LCW it looks like he feels he needs to make miracle shots to win the rally. And he makes lots of errors because of that... Whenever Peter plays lower ranked players he's far more consistent with his shots.

Not a surprise, actually. Kido hasn't been moving well and stays more at frontcourt these past few days.

INA girls launch their huge cannons to no avail, they are better off mixing the pac and using more fast drives.

This is just a warm up exercise for YW/ZJW. Didn't need CTF to coach them.

Yang/Zhang show their class to win first game with big margin, 21-10.

What's the scores on the other court?

Is normal to play "out of ordinary" against player better than you, I am not talking about skill rather speed and endurance. If Peter play his normal game then the chance he beat Chong Wei is not high so he has to make every shot tighter hence higher errors(similar to Chong Wei against Lin Dan) ... Peter had to take this risk and almost work.

Shendy should move a bit more on court to hunt the shuttle. CHN girls have problems measuring the drift.

Yeah of course

! I just mean at points they didn't even give PG a polite clap. Dead silence :S, seemed a bit rude. Maybe I've been watching too much of the local tennis (where there is only one NZ player who is already out hehe).

..are you asking Shendy to move around the court??..I think she's asking Meiliana to cover for her....

Yeah that's right. It's interesting to see how even the very top players really struggle against certain people. The way Lee Chong Wei plays is really effective against PG. It must take a lot of courage to play against someone who just keeps getting the shuttle back no matter what you throw at them.

Now I'm sleepy again, no memorable rallies like the match between the CHN pair and WPT/CEH

If I recall correctly, that also happens when it's Denmark players vs non Denmark players in Denmark

, or rather vs home players in most countries. Not a surprise. At least the audience didnt shout rude stuff to the opponent player (I hope in MO they didnt), like what happened in certain tournaments
