It's past midnight. Can someone change the thread title to "2011 French Open SS: Round 1 Wed 26-October and early Thu 27 October"?
The arena will be quieter place without WSX around. What a massive upset. She's another player who's been slipping lately.
When I saw Zavadsky last year, I thought his head looked too big for his body definitely past his bed time though and probably Fang/Wang's bed time, isn't it like 06:00am in Taipei now ? demolidor, I was talking to one of your favourite players tonight, guess who?
I was hoping to see more from the quaintly named Spaniard M..Jolly Lee. Unfortunately she and her French partner got blasted off the court by merciless Japanese.
LD at match point 22-21... and he takes it. LHI had 2 match points but obviously squandered them. LD 21-17, 23-21. He might be out of gas by the time he reaches the QF and therefore has to conveniently surrender a W/O to CJ. Come on LD, don't do it. Rebel against authority.
*sigh* OK, all right then... here's a bright one for you, too... I wonder why they choose to send Pan-Pan When we all want to give her a ban. She ain't got a clue As to what she should do, And she certainly ain't got a fan.
Lin Dan Lin Dan badminton King Olympic champion, coached by "The Thing" He's the best ever, no ads, ifs or buts Too bad LYB has him by the nuts
but the Germans took the second set. Just saw that Kim KI Jung will also be in "tomorrow's" first match, starting in only 9 and a half hours.
KOR 18-18 GER. Tight finish on the cards Koreans edge ahead 19-18 KOR at match point 20-18 GER claw one back 20-19
And the Koreans win 21-19. Kim Ki Jung better pack up and head straight to the hotel. He's got the first match of R2 against BoMo no less
That's it. Day 1 is finally over. 4 retirements, 3 involving CHN WS players, and not even against their own compatriots.
