well...GTC/zakry lost to the thais.....i really don't see much improvement from this pair since they reached the AE semis last yr.....not much improvement....
Wow...KKK/TBH win two straight set against their old partner and prove their Asian gold medalist title...I think they are the future of Malaysia..Just hope tomorrow they can continue to win when they meet another mas experience pair if there are not upset with CCF/LWW...
Maria Kristin Go go Maria!!! Maria should be ranked around 15 in the world if PBSI sent her to at least 10 tournaments... But they sent her to only SEVEN tournaments last year... Well, there were reports about her being injured in early 2006, but I wonder whether that's really true or made up. Anyway, she won 2 Satellite tournaments later on in the year and beat some good players [Pi Hongyan etc.] on the way to the Bittburger final. Petya is strong but 'bulky'. She looks more like a Bulgarian wrestler not a badminton player. I think Maria should move Petya all around the court a lot. And Maria has the weapons to do this. Her chops and drop shots are generally accurate and hard to predict. Go Maria! We love you!
Luluk-Alven kicked ass! 21-13, 21-17 over the Korean pair. And by the looks of it, tomorrow they will meet Kido-Hendra who just won the first set 21-15 over the Chinese... Indonesia's best and 2nd best double pair meeting in round of 16... Bad luck. Well, almost as bad as the Malaysian doubles draw... [that is bad bad bad luck]
What's the score now? Rexy said in a recent interview that LWW needs to reduce his weight while Tan Fook has to improve his mental strength and confidence.
Well...I think China most worried problem is their mens double...China have a lot of talented player in MS,WD,WS and XD but they lack of very good men double player...They just can't depends fully on CY/FHF...As far as i observe,except CY/FHF,i really can't see any talented pair in china..
What are they doing..They are getting down and down...They lose to the Danes pair..So,KKK/TBH will face the newly formed denmark pair tomorrow....
