Interesting pics! The er, thin one is doing all the watching, while the errrr, not-so-thin one is doing all the reaching and scrambling...
Yippee, dream match is going to be shown on cable TV! Going to have to be a double effort in cheering both on.
If INA WD can beat YY/WXL in Sudirman Cup next month then it will be a super real surprise then we can say CHN is beatable.
This is another upset: Shesar Hiren Rhustavito vs. Tanongsak in straight set : 21-17 21-11. WZM then badly destroyed Shesar
both are so different style. tanongsak with fast and attacking style, while WZM with lazy style... good experience for him
QF day dawning soon.... I'm rooting for MJ/THJ to actually take the WD title. That means "those guys" will be losing sometime between now and Sunday.... Ratchanok vs Sayaka presents a conundrum for many, not for me. I expect Ratchanok to, uh, ratchet her game up a notch if necessary and take it in 2 straight games. Sudket/Saralee.... please, please pleeeeeease do something different this time - actually WIN THE GODDAMN TOURNAMENT! :crying: WZM vs LD presents another interesting conundrum: to watch, or not to watch... Gao Han vs Chong Wei, no contest, dude! Wait a minute! That's the other Chong Wei... Marquee matches been mentioned earlier as well: TTY vs WYH. Yeeee-haaaa! Sorry, limsy.... Eriko Hirose vs Sindhu would be worthwhile to observe if Sindhu has achieved a measure of consistency. If yes, the Chinese girls will have another serious headache to worry about.
Uh, dunno. The absence of any live-stream coming out of this venue is really depressing. Agreed, if -IF- LD/WZM play to full strength, it could be an epic, given WZM's new-found attitude. OTOH, the very sight of LD on the other side may send him back to his don't-care ways...
Quick heads-up to all those interested.... Dutch International 2013 elimination rounds begin Friday....
