Dutch flags at half-mast. Eric Pang was knocked out in straight games by that selfish, unthinking, insensitive boy Tien Chen Chou from Taiwan, 23-21, 21-14. :crying: Good thing the aunties are there to save the day...
Thai WD top seeds Duanganong/Kunchala took the first game away from Dutch girls Lotte/Paulien 21-17. They're really ratcheting up the level in game 2, leading 11-4 at the interval....
Its in a lighter vein; nothing serious; kidding around... (notice the flow of amotions) ...you didn't take that stuff to seriously, I hope?
Young Rasmus Fladberg from Denmark has had quite a tournament so far! He mentioned to a paper yesterday in lighter vein that he means for Viktor Axelsen to be looking over his shoulder now. If Rasmus succeeds in knocking out Hsuan Yi Hsueh of Taiwan in the semis now, Viktor will have to take him seriously! But! IMO the better chances are, the MS finals are going to be an all-Chinese-Taipei affair!
Are you serious???! Its quite possible you didn't follow the flow of the post, but I repeat, that was in a lighter vien. Nothing serious or subversive was implied, and you can rest easy!
...meanwhile, HHY has just wrapped up the first game 21-17, but going by the stats, there wasn't too much to diffrentiate the players with. I think HHY should be able to do this in straight games. Unless Rasmus has a gear he's been hiding so far....
Wow! Young Rasmus has taken game 2 by the scruff! He leads 10-5 now, but he will be made to fight tooth and nail to maintain the lead after the interval. ...which comes now at 11-6
... HHY is giving Rasmus a hard time here, but Rasmus wraps up game 2, 21-14 onward followers all, to the rubber!
HHY trying to pull away now at 4-2 but Rasmus says, Hey! come back here! the game's not over yet! and now levels at 4-4
...and they're still pulling and pushing, but HHY manages to get ahead at 10-6 ... 11-6 now; will it be a mountain too high for Rasmus now?
....and HHY wraps up the rubber comfortably, 21-13. Good fight there by young Rasmus! We have an all-Chinese-Taipei MS finals tomorrow, between 68-ranked TCC and 4-ranked HHY. It promises to be an interesting match!!
