2009 Swiss Open: Day 3 (Round 2) Thursday March 12

YHH wins 21-17 in rubber, yes!

 

YES! my belief in YHH still hold!!
thx for saving my paw.The 1st set almost gave me an heart attack

 

Did anyone PAW Schenk? Upset looming, leads 16-13

 

yes my PAW-opponent did

 

Kinda sucks, huh? Looks like Schenk will close it out. 20-16

 

look like LD is napping on 1st set again

 

Kitten (lu yi ) playing well against the lion

 

So funny, LD is letting Kitten do all the smashing

 

Is this real??? from 9-20 down? lol
Anyone has the video? I would like to see the expression on Hafizi's face.

 

Poor Jao Jie. She really is a shadow of her former self. Pi won't be far behind

 

wow GUO/XU saved 5 set points to deuce... but lost 20:22. Rubber set!

 

i rather see the expression on misbun's face

 

I am watching battle of KLRC - LTS vs Sairul. I am rooting for sairul. WOnder who wins in training.

Rubber set here.

 

sairul doing all the dictating in final game. LTS at his mercy

 

I wish Sairul was fitter and more motivated. He has such control and skill shame.

He has LTS on a string.

10-6

 

Easy finalgame vistory for Sairul............

 

LTS is not known for his gas tank, which once again has been found wanting

 

10 consecutive points by ZL to force a rubber game

 

ZL is out from the SO............... impressive saina...

 

So, only Taufik Hidayat, Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati and Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir manage to progress to QF. Out of these 3, most will likely get beaten.

Similar to last week, Taufik will have a rematch with Lee Chong Wei. Mel/Shendy will test the third-seed Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung. And Nova/Butet will face CHN new XD pairing of Zheng Bo/Ma Jin.

Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra lost in rubber-sets to Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol; while Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii lost in straight-sets to Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl.
