wow... PG must be playing well to beat LCW. Strategy must be good. Well done to danish!; )

[ctjcad]

They had to call the tournament referee to resolve something...TPE pair is in control, ahead 14-7..LKW took a knee burn as she slid and fell, won't look good to our samuel882 if he sees it..

wow... PG must be playing well to beat LCW. Strategy must be good. Well done to danish!; )

PG..played a flawless game today......speed, power and accuracy........just like the way he defeated TH in FO 08........

If Asian players always dominate Badminton.. Badminton will not be interesting anymore.. And will not be played at olympic.

[jasonmarc]

..not really flawless, but he did dictate the game toward the end of the 1st & 3rd games..In other words, Gade made the plays when they matter..

It's over, as the KORs' dream of sweeping the 3 titles are dashed by the TPE pair.

Yes, agreed............

[ctjcad]

Prize and flower presentation. LHJ doesn't look too happy, LKW trying to smile. TPE pair on the other hand looks happy but no smiles either. C'mon gals....
I see one fan slouching and about to fall off his chair...

OK, last match of the day coming up....

[ricksakti]

Who is that person played with lyd... at the beginning of warming up?

[ctjcad]

another celebrity exhibition playing with LYD..most likely an actor..

okay, last match of the day pits 2 pairs playing a rematch of last yr's China Open SS MD Finals. KORs dressed in all-black attires while the Danes dressed in white and light blue attires...

[ctjcad]

The Danes are off to a blistering 10-4 start...Playing w/a lot of confidence..The Danes are staying away from the drive game, KORs not able to setup their game, yet..Danes ahead 14-4..Danes making nice placement shots, keeping the shuttle away from Yong Dae..

[ctjcad]

questionable call, conference call with the umpire...Danes ahead 17-9..KORs lifts are a bit loose, perhaps wary of the Danes' height..Danes about to close the 1st game, leading 19-11..
Another questionable call, this time Boe is pleading to the umpire to no avail..
Danes just took the 1st game..

[ctjcad]

2nd game is starting..let's see if the KOR pair really lives up to the "The King of Rubber Game" nickname (as narnia calls them)..Another fast start by the Danes 4-1..
The Danes' defense has been stout and their counter-attacks have been effective..
JJS complained to the umpire of an illegal serve (high serve)..
JJS making more errors from the rear court, perhaps lacking a bit of confidence..

[nunu27]

he no need buy new cos yonex will give him. i saw he have many same rackets in his bag in mas open. almost 10 in it

O.K.. Yonex asked him not to do that, then.. for saving!!

[ctjcad]

first time i've seen a sign of stress on Yong Dae's face..Danes still keeping their distance 9-5..Danes' flick serves are bothering the KORs..KORs trying hard to buckle down & minimize much lifts but to no avail..

Hah, JJS gave another "ssshhh" gesture to the Danes after another questionable call..
While Mogensen gave a "1 up" gesture to the crowd after pouncing one down..The fans need to give more "Daehan minguk" chants!..

[ctjcad]

KORs inching closer, Danes in the lead 13-12 as we head on to the crucial stage of the game/match..All tied at 13 a piece as the crowd roars...
