looks like David Snider will face off against Hock Lai Lee in the 2nd round! Wow, that sucks! I see alot of upsets happening in this tourney...seems like the person who organized the draw didnt do a very good job
ontop of winning CCAA he also won majority of the Alberta Series tournaments in Alberta, basically every one he played he won.
2010 CCAA MS Winner Shawn Kailai Zhang (BCCAA) 2009 CCAA MS Winner Dan Kai (ACAC) 2008 CCAA MS Winner Dan Kai (ACAC) 2010 CCAA MS Runner-up Timothy Chiu (OCAA) 2009 CCAA MS Runner-up Shawn Kailai Zhang (BCCAA) This is what I remembered. I attended 2008 CCAA Badminton championship myself. It was white and cold!
It looks like our smash_master lost to a worthy opponent. Kai Dan is also playing doubles with BadmintonLife founder Emmet Gibney. If anyone is at the tournament, please give us your observations and thoughts.
more like got blown out of the water, nerves were there but dan is fast for sure. no comment i didnt play a good game at all.
There's no shame in losing to a highly ranked player. The upside of this early loss is that you have more time to enjoy Montreal, its great food and stylish ladies. (watching the Habs game tonight in a pub would be quite an experience, too)
for sure, overall happy with what i was able to do and just means a summer full of training. dan did beat the 5/8 seed from the states the next round as well and will face 1st seed from france tomorrow which will be a very good game to watch. haha i will deffinetly go out and enjoy montreal for the 4 days that im here still maybe try and find some badminton to drop in on and enjoy the stylish ladies
7:30 PM WS Linling Wang [POL] - [CAN] Anna Rice [3/4] Main Location - 1 7:30 PM WS Joycelyn Ko [CAN] - [CAN] Michelle Li _________________________________________________________ local time is ~9:25pm noiw, still no score posted
Rice lost. And Li will be facing tougher opponent tomorrow. The Japanese Lady Kana Ito seems very strong from the score board.
All the best on your next tournament and enjoy your stay at Montreal. Maybe shoot some video and share with us of Dan's game tomorrow.
nicole cockiness cost her, she was leading 11-6 in the 2nd and Oka just stepped on it! Oka deserved the win, Michelle tried but having good offensive shots alone doesnt win you titles, she was outmatched in all other aspects of the game... cept maybe her height advantage but she is improving year over year, 2011 might be her year unless Japan sends another stronger opponent
Yeah, Michelle also happened to be outmatched in her ankle flexibility because she rolled it slightly in her quarterfinal match. She had to wear an ankle brace today, if you didn't notice.
