    Is The Little Dragon fully awake?

    and Fischer did that many times fiercely just in front of the umpire... who amazingly did nothing to stop this kinds of threatening act... another home-court advantage

    Jiang YJ injured? Did the tournament doctor certify that?

    Methinks the rest day isn't doing The Little Dragon any good. I'd rather he played JOJ to sharpen his teeth and claws and hone his fire-spewing skill.

    If Ithanon (Hamster not Rat) wins this one, I'll call her Little Princess

    Little Princess? She is elegant, but not really that "delicate".
    More like a tough lychee warrior than a squishy peach princess.

    Is no one watching this WS game between Kitten and Inthanon? Very excellent atheleticism by both ladies.
    Just wish the two english commentators were as energetic in their speech. Honestly you'd think they were describing a very well-executed bank loan application rather than a high-level sports event.

    Wow, there is always a higher mountain. I bet Inthanon will be rolling on the ground next game.

    The level of play deteriotes when the shuttle keeps on coming back. WYH is really good.

    Ithanon really impresses me so far, she shows real promisen and great potential. Still, as long as Wang YH ver2 doesn't revert to ver1, i.e let her nerves fail her under pressure from the burden of expectation, she should progress to the final.

    Best you write to BWF and file your complaint. See if they do something about it.

    IMO, this foursome in WS SF represents the real top 4 for the year to come...

    The other two Wangs, the two Queens of badminton are on court 2 now. With this Wang doing alright so far, the other two can play freely and for real,I suppose.

    I suppose they will only do something if those with the greatest vested interests complain, that is, his opponents. So if they feel it's fine with his behaviour, why act then?

    After winning game 1, Queen Wang YH finds her pressure valve released and play her usual game to seal the match. Surprisingly, Ithanon seemed to crack in game 2, losing her confidence and touch.
