Emms said if she ever had a partner act like that she would walk off the court and refuse to play.

It is very disappointing to hear that. Perhaps some immaturity but I hope the Canadian coaches put her in her place for showing such behaviour. She is hardly good enough to display such arrogance. Who does she think she is? Lin Dan?

**abedeng** · 10-11-2010, 01:51 AM

England is really attacking at the Mixed Doubles title, they have 3 pairs in the quarterfinals and Anthony Clark/Heather Olver looks to be the most promising.

Against them are 2 Malaysian pairs, and 1 each from Scotland, India and Singapore.

Yes, I am sure it does sound familiar, maybe you will remember AE2010, Susan vs Lu Lan, very very close match.

Yes, plenty more to come, the current generation coming through, are imo, a lot better than the current players. Plenty to watch out for.

Yep, very experienced, and as mentioned above, gave Lu Lan a run for her money at AE2010.

Oh come on ! Don't make excuses, she lost fair and square

you are starting to sound like, some of the atheletes when they lose

Which one ?

Susan Hughes=Susan Egelstaff

At no point did I expect Lydia to beat Susan. Not even a chance. All those who though otherwise, time to give your head a good shake

And rectify as well, I hope

Maybe she is Lin Dan in diguise ..... wakakaka.

Anyway, Michelle Li had just defeated Xing Aiying 23-21, 21-12.

Kasyap had just passed the challenge of Kieran Merrillees 21-12, 21-15.

I actually watched that match... could see who better suited the 'horrible' - WMC or her sad opponent... WMC played good match, not as tough as the team final but definitely not horrible as well... horrible was Karen, I believed... she was sent all around the court and my oh my I nearly flinched over the sight...

and mascara on the badminton court ... that's the first time for me ... perhaps I fail to watch many tourneys to miss out such norms (is it not?)

p/s: Karen with her good look and her way of playing, oh dear...

Ok I must be wrong. I watched the match. Defeating somebody from Mauritius with such body language is not a good sign. And scorelines do not always tell the corret story.
As for the term "weakest link" perhaps I should clarify once again - weakest link among the medal probables". Lydia is there, but is counting her for medal.
(Note to myself, avoid commenting on popular players

, especially if the player is WMC)

More likely Xing showed too much of her abilities in the team matches, the Canadian coaches had devised ways to defeat her. Good result for Canada, poor one for Singapore. Especially since Singapore had won the Women's Singles title before 8 years ago.

**skyblue** · 10-11-2010, 02:12 AM

The main problem for Wong M C is didn't enough stamina for set 3.
due to injury, national doctor had urged her to reduce training time.
not her laziness.
Now Wong M C had many "hollywood action" which i found her playing just now on TV1.
She try to use more skill..more brain. toying her opponent
But this will lead to unforced error

in China Open many years ago
her "weapon" is running.running and running
and also her great net play
but now her stamina is low
age also increase
so she is using more skill
like drop shot with "hollywood action"

She still need time to adjust.

Haha, would like to see HH playing MD. He probably takes his position in front of the net and with his towering 6' frame just hammers down any loose shots. Then again, with his "faster than snails" pace, he would also probably miss just as many of those loose shots...hehe..
