4 - 3 2nd server as ZJ pint point accuracy homing bird hit the edge of court..... NOW GL Hits out 5 -3 !!! 2N D SERVER!!
So far.. Robertson and Emms have peaked at the right time. Robertson's smash is as damaging as Zhang's, maybe not in dead power, but it is very fast, steep and accurate. He is smashing mainly at Zhang, as his defence is not as solid as Gao's. Emms is defending the smash from Zhang by crouching low, it has meuted his smash somewhat in the second game. Emms obviously the weakest at the back, is rotating real fast, refusing to be trapped at the back. Gao Ling is still dominating at the net but Zhang is being forced into errors.
For this silly station, I have nothing to say now, it is showing women weithting now, i wish you to loose!

Boo to Zhang Jun's unsportsmanlike behaviour. Gamesmanship to try to unsettle Nathan and Gail. (Probably worried about the wrath of LYB if they lose)
