lol - i'm sure she's not trying to be arrogant - she's probably just trying to show she's confident. a necessity with the british media - your not allowed to appear wet... anybody know the order of play for tonight - the website lists the mens singles first but i'd hope they wouldn't be first - otherwise i'll miss lin dan playing his match
Yes you're probably right. We must keep in mind these interviews were aimed to british medias and not to worldwide badminton fans! The website only gives the "default order" but the real order apparently hasn't been published (defined?) yet... I suppose Emms/Robertson match will be programmed at the best "mediatic" moment!
Tomorrow, I really hope I can watch Widianto. He's my favourite player and I hate to see him lose to CQQ/ZTT. If he manages to pass through this round, he shld be able to get to to final. Anggun and Yunita had reached so far and it's sad to see them lose to that English pair when Lee Jae-Jin and Lee Hyo-Jung is out of contention currently. I am really hoping Indonesia win the XD title, it's been ages since they last won. In men singles, I got a feeling Sato Shoji can defeat Wong from Malaysia. It's like he can possibly be that lucky to pass through so many strong opponents. Especially when he defeated Hafiz, I feel like killing him. LOL Lin Dan seems strong, I think only Lee Chong Wei could stop him now. Maybe, that Korean can get him out. Then, I can start praying for Chong Wei already. In men doubles, where is Choong and Chew ? They have not been performing well. Anyway I am still rooting in for the two Indonesian pairs though I strongly feel either Jen Erkisen or Ha Tae-Kwon has the upper hand at the moment.
Schedule That's it, the order of matches seems to have been published. http://www.horizon-sport.com/cli/bae/110897649405ibzz06sched.php Though the three first matches are completely at the end of the list, so I don't know which way we are supposed to read (I would say these three first, then list order for the others...) The first three matches are : 17:00 : Lee Chong Wei vs Roslin Hashim 17:10 : Gao/Huang vs Lee/Lee 17:20 : Jiang/Li vs Thungthongkam/Chankrachangwong
Agree: there were many more matches and surprise 3 setters the last 2 days. But the last match was scheduled for 22.30 and Gade/Roslin's would have finished well past midnight if started on time - but few matches did. This has happened in other majors (WC), so why not allow 40 minutes, not 30 per match? Maybe spectator and TV considerations? Fendi will need tomorrow after waiting for 3 am showtime tonight. Y
RTM1(Final) & RTM2(Semi) Here is the broadcast schedule in Malaysia: (L) All England 2005 10:00:00 PM 12-Mar-2005 RTM2 (L) All England 2005 10:15:00 PM 13-Mar-2005 RTM1 I don't think ESPN will show AE2005
matches have started. Lee/Lee leading Gao/Huang 6-2 LeeCW slightly leads Roslin 9-7 Jiang/Li (SIN) leading Changrachanwong/ThungThongKam 2-0
That was an hour ago. LCW has pulled away to 14-7 after 5 changes of service at 6-6. Looks like the overheads are killing Roslin. Y
LCW took first game 15-7. leading 2nd game 4-0 Gao/Huang pulls back to lead Lee/Lee 11-8 in the first game the singapore duo Jiang/Li is doing well against the Thais ChangkraChangwong/Thungthongkam (did i get it right this time?) 9-4.
Gao/Huang took first game 15-9 LeeCW leading 5-0 2nd game Jiang/Li almost closing out first game 14-5. when was the last time a Singaporean pair advances to the semi-final of the AE?
perhaps Gade needs to learn from LCW what is the proper way to beat Roslin. he seems to have very little problem so far.
