Hi kwun! Are you american? Did you know the juniors girls in women singles qualification? Who's Viper2005? Hugs
in the Men's Singles .... 3 good Malaysians are playing .... Tien Nguyen (Vietnam) maybe the dark horse .... let's see .... also some Indonesians are playing for Philippines .... hmmmm
I saw the Yeh twins & Jinadasa's have been playing at UCI gym so if you are a UCI student, you can see them play. But yeah, a lot of international players this year, especially in the Men's Singles event!
does anyone know if there will be a feee to watch the us open at ocbc? im scared they're going to pull out some ridiculous cost out of their pants
the ticket prices are below .... there is $55 all-week package http://www.ocbadmintonclub.com/Media/USOpen2007/07_USOpen_poster.gif
not enough money to win and too much expenses to travel. tony pairing with raju because candra doesn't want spend $1500 ticket to USA and plus hotel and food for a week tournament. tony must play because he repr. USA.
The MS is still quite interesting with a few international players like Lee Tsuen Tseng, Shoji Sato, and Nguyen Tien-Minh. I will be supporting Tien-Minh! In the MD, the just-crowned WC bronze-medallist Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda is the top-seed and will be all out for a title here. Their counterpart, Tadashi Ohtsuka/Keita Masuda is the second seed. Interestingly, some MAS juniors like Lim Khim Wah/Mak Hee Chun and Lim Fang Yang/Mohd Abdul Latif (Arif Latif??) are also participating I find it strange also that Tony Gunawan is not pairing up with Halim Heryanto to defend the title they won last year. Instead, Halim pairs up with Eric Go and have to play the qualifiers Somehow, the WS draw is still not updated. In the WD, the top 2 seeds are also JAP pairs: Aki Akao/Tomomi Masuda and Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda. I guess this tournament is too lowly ranked for the cute pair of Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota. KOR is represented by a strong pair too in Ha Jung Eun/Hwang Yu Mi and another strange pairing of Lee Yun Hwa/Jun Jae Youn MAS fields their juniors like Goh Liu Ying/Ng Hui Lin and Lydia Cheah/Tee Jing Yi as well as some possibly club pairs like Lim Pek Siah/Haw Chiou Hwee and Chor Hoi Yee/Ang Li Peng In the XD, the top seed Han Sang Hoon/Hwang Yu Mi faces a tricky match against Tony Gunawan/Minarti Timur as early as the second round. Other strong pairs include the second-seed Keita Masuda/Miyuki Maeda, Tadashi Ohtsuka/Satoko Suetsuna, the Asuncion siblings, and some pretty experienced MAS juniors like Lim Khim Wah/Ng Hui Lin and Mak Hee Chun/Goh Liu Ying. Oh, there is no presence of the Russians who stole the show last year. Overall, should be more interesting than last year's US Open and hopefully ppl like kwun, ctjcad and our own Hau-ge can provide some interesting posts and pictures.
I may go there during QTR till final....the line up is not that interesting....Gudang Garam challenger is more interesting and more high profile players like Zhou Mi..Jong So Young...hopefully I will get better camera....
She has been patiencely waiting for you to propose...since there is still no answer....you leave her no choice to settle in US....( hope she resides in US)
