    Gade's energy levels have dropped, and LCW takes control.

    World and. Olympic champs have a mountain to climb, I am sure they'll lose this one.

    LCW does his customary hug with Misbun, then after shaking hands with Gade, he goes to his old coach Morten Frost and hugged him too.

    2009 Malaysia Open SS Finals: No.1 & 2 seeds for both Womens Singles & Mixed Doubles

    .
    nunu27 ... You are correct.
    And I somehow feel that both the No.1 seeds would win in their events (Womens Singles and Mixed Doubles).

    Looks like LCW has a very good chance of winning yet another MO :).

    What a surprise, INA new scratch pair Alvent/Hendra AG march on finale and likely will challenge Jae Sung/Young Dae tomorrow.

    Chong Wei boleh

    As expected, Gade was not able to keep pace with Chong Wei on game 3, however, give credit to Gade for playing one of his better games. Congratulation to Chong Wei, though lost game 1 able to stay focus and execute the right strategy. Lets hope the MS final is as explosive as this one.

    Well Markis and Hendra haven't been spectacular in the last few tournaments. I hope it's because Alvent/Hendra played well rather than MK/HS losing it.

    I think it's ok for Kindra to let more fit pair challenge KOR/ENG

    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.
