Sudirman Cup 2009 Day 6: May 15

Rajiv Ouseph feeling the strain now.

I agree with your opinion, only for new order of play. You are right, the official current order of play is MD-WS-MS-WD-XD, with some exception:
if an MD/WD player also play XD it becomes XD-MS-MD-WS-WD
(eq. tie between MAS-KOR and ENG-JPN)

So, the order of play tomm depends on who Rexy puts in XD, dont think he'll put KKK AND WPT again, too taxing for both. - Fairuz/WPT,Fairuz/NHL, KKK/NHL. Or if Rexy is really daring, do some weird pairing like HK did with Zhou Mi/Wang Chen, hehe.

If I were Rexy, I will only allow KKK and WPT to play 1 match each. This is to ensure MD to be played first followed by WS & MS. Hopefully, MAS has already won 3-0 by then (dreaming ). At least, this will put some "pressure" to the CHN team.

hehehe...after MAS training this morning Rexy clearly said MAS needs 1 point from MD. WPT could play XD and WD, but don't think KKK will.
Will be nice to see Rexy himself back on court again, playing XD for MAS...
(Saw him paired again with Ricky Subagja against Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto on an exhibition match during Candra Wijaya MD Tournament couple weeks ago. He still has good defence and his 'magic' tricks, very entertaining to see....)

he say to u?
haha,i hope to see rexy/koo on court hehe

MD: KKK/TBH - must win for Malaysia
WD: CEH/WPT - China has the upper hand but CEH and WPT could give them a run for their money. Unlikely though, based on their recent performance
MS: LCW - must win for Malaysia. Can LD shake off his group tournament (TC/WC) curse? I hope not
WS: WMC - must win for Malaysia.
XD: ? - sure win for China if it comes down to this.

You mean the same pressure during TC08 that was suppose to apply to Cai/Fu after LD lost?

i personally would not be annoyed at a 2-3 loss

[robin7]

England doesnt seem interested to win this tie, they didnt field Clark/Kellog in XD, Andrew Smith isnt playing MS, MD also not their best MD, so no wonder ppl not interested. Denmark at least field their best in doubles dept.

Gillian Clark also expressed her disappointment with ENG's line-ups.

Sasaki, massacre-aki yan kit chan-aki! Nippon beat HK, pretty please .

He he, just met copadh, turns out he's a journalist covering the event for Indonesia.

I mean by having the default order of play (MD-WS-MS-WD-XD), if MAS can steal 2 pts from the 3 matches , CHN will feel the pressures on WD & XD.

I mean weird pair up like : CEH/TBH or TCS/NHL play XD, or Fairuz/TBH play MD, kakakaka. Korea likes to tinker that way. Another possibility is NHL play WD, so WPT can concentrate on XD.

But MD can also be played 1st if KKK play MD & XD, XD is last. KKK/NHL is better bet than Fairuz/NHL. THen WPT only play 1 dept.

LUX & ISL have already won in less 2 hours.

Ya lah, it's only to determine 5th & 6th place. So, quickly close shop, go have some delicious Chinese food.
Japan vs HK seems more interesting, I'll download that when it's up, want to see the young Japan MD - K & K play.
