MS bottom half. Jang, Bao and Sairul won easily. Lee HI took more than 70 mins. to beat Taufik. I think Taufik may be peaking nicely for the WC.
please tell me someone is recording some of these great matches! i would love to see the LHI v TH match ...
i don't think this is much of a surprise. LHI is a quality player, and TH has been inconsistent this year. plus with home support, i think LHI will take the title this year, considering he should have a relatively easy game against Sairul and be fresher for the semis.
let's wait for hongkong open,it's very likely that he and lindan will meet in the 2nd round, it will be interesting
MD He/Shen bt Sakamoto/Ikeda 17:21,21:15,21:16 Lindley/Landgridge bt Han/Kang 22:20,21:14 Yoo/Jeon bt Tazari/Lin 21:14,19:21,24:22 (very close match) Lee/Hwang bt Clark/Blair 18:21,21:13,21:19 Kido/Setiawan bt Paaske/Rasmussen 21:17,13:21,21:16
yeah, the koreans are doing very well on their home soil. expect Lee/Jung to join the other 2 pairs soon.
Wouldn't it be amazing if the KO is won by an outsider like Ayob or Roslin ? Probability is low but at the moment, there is still a possibility. Roslin may be close to capturing his old form coz he certainly works hard enough. Beating LCW was a good surprise but maybe it is deeper than we thought, Roslin could be really playing great. If he wins this, it would really be true. I am going to wish him the best in this -- may he win this 6-star Open.
But LCW become the world no1 again this week but isn't there are no any matches this few weeks???How come he can gain 2000++ points...???
