    Anyway no matter what the outcome later will be, if CHN could keep up their good performance like today CHN would be the one going to the final. :)

    Cross my finger INA can steal one Ms and 2 MD. JC has beaten CL and LD before. So does AG I think.. And if ksj/MG at their best that's one point for sure

    And the Thais are still celebrating on court with more players joining in. I'm sure it's final's day of the Uber Cup, no?

    She was mostly doing it to her team-mates on the other side of the court -- and when Russelli was face-down in the ground... so even the Umpire can't fault her for showing her fist to her opponent (cos her opponent was in no position to look at her), LOL

    Mads-Conrad did get a formal warning (i.e. next time you do it, you get a card) for showing his fist "at his opponents" when he waved it to his team-mates on the other side of the court -- but that's because his opponents are tall men, so it looked like he was waving it "at them"...

    BTW, for the amateurs who are confused: the rule is NOT to refrain from shouting or whatever (badminton is not courtesy school), but to refrain from "interference/ aggression" TO your opponents, the umpires & service/line judges on court... which includes pointing AT them or even just talking to them (that's why players only acknowledge or apologize to each other with hand signals, not words).

    Amat menyedihkan bila saya mengetahui perlawanan antara musuh sengit Malaysia dengan Indonesia tidak akan disiarkan secara langsung.

    Don't forget they have LD for MS3. That's 99.99% one point for team CHN. And if Marcus/Kevin couldn't deliver (no one should blame them considering this is their first tournament after a long break and how consistently solid Liu/Zhang here), it would be hard for INA to steal 2 points from Singles. To note that JC was also just being unfit recently.

    So I guess you should better cross all the fingers you have:D

    Dan saya dapati di Astro 822, terdapatnya siaran langsung, namun tidak dapat dipastikan kebenaranya. Dinyatakan MAS vs INA.

    TL note: And I have discovered that in Astro 822, there is a livestream but still not sure if it is true or not. It stated MAS vs INA.

    Hmm, hard to decide: Lee Chong Wei or Viktor Axelsen? I'd rather watch LCW, but VA vs SWH probably more entertaining.

    It's only natural for certain such predisposed players to let it all out after such a build-up of tension is finally released when mission is accomplished. Let the winners have their moments, they deserve it and , I believe, they never meant anything against their opponents, just get carried away by the occasion, that's all.

    For me its fine as long they not hit their opponent because mental war are involved in every sport. But Zhao Yunlei and Maheswari got warned at times for simmilar gesture (without stare) toward their opponents. Standard has changed or the umpire just dislike them?

    Pick the silver Boi. Might be in his last Thomas Cup.
    (Seriously, both of them are interesting!)
