Just unbelievable match from both players. But for Maria to come back from 3-11 in the third and won 21-15 in the end is absolutely impressive. I'm sold as a die-hard fan now!
:crying::crying::crying:Maybe Hendrawan told her to play the game... you can do it... I'll give you whatever you want if you catch up(not thinking about winning the game at that time), pay the SpA for her after game....
Her profile at wikipedia has been updated....so fast "In the quarter-finals, Saina is playing against Maria Kristin Yulianti, who is the world number 16 and was part of Indonesia’s Uber Cup runners-up team. The match is currently tied at 1-1 each. Saina won the first game 28-26, but Yulianti came back with strong performance of 21-14 in the 2nd game. The match is now in the 3rd and deciding game. Saina currently has a very formidable 11-4 lead in the 3rd game. But, Saina exhibits a Royal Choke to lose 21-15. At one stretch of that 3rd game, she won only 1 point compared to 15 by her opponent; that recklessness or nervousness cost her the game, match and the 2008 Olympic medal dreams!"
saina is still have 2 others opportunity in next OG>... she needs to learn bout strategy,,, not just keep on smashin and runnin there and here,,, maria... you go girls... watch my words... she's gonna be in FINAL....
3-11 down huh? Then Maria has broken the record for the biggest comeback to win a game after being down at interval. Previous record was 4-11, set by Bao Chunlai when he beat Roslin, 2 years ago.
KOR pair powering way through JN defence. JPN are only winning on KOR errors. KOR defence very flat, JPN just seem to lift it ack though. 8-16 KOR
GO Indonesia, Go Malaysia, Don't give any medal to Chinese player..hohohohohohohoho Maria has done a great job..... It is out of my mind when i see that she lost 3-11 in 3rd game.... I like her now Great Job PHYTON MARIA
does any broadcast will show the delay live the match Maria vs Saina???...I didnt watch the match on the TVRI streaming...:crying:
Sorry about your idol Taufik losing in the first round I was so upset about that but looks like you have a new idol now in Maria Kristin. Hope she can beat the old Zhang Ning and at least be guaranteed of a silver. Let's hope for another miracle or she takes whatever stuff she took from the coach during the 3-11 interval against Saina she should take twice as much when she plays Zhang Ning!
Korea blow away JPN in 1st set 21-12 What tonic will master Park give them to beat his countrymen in the interval?
"Ice Woman" hahaha you right taufik-ist, she is the "ice woman"... no yelling or expressive gesture when she won.... Anyway the ice woman will break the Great Wall of China for gold medal. Maria, we really proud of you!!!!!!!
They must be upset with the trouncing of Jung/Lee in straight sets. Lee/Hwang might pose some threat to Fu/Cai now.....
