Taufik got whacked.....anyway, you win some, you lose some. As Peter likes to say. But is this confirmed?

Initially, I thought Hafiz had better chance to make it to semifinal, compared to LCW in view of in-form Taufik performance in Singapore. The results have certainly surprised me a lot and sad to know Hafiz failed to make the cut. Otherwise, it would be an interesting China vs Malaysia semifinal.
The score u haf above shows :CW vs Taufik 15-5 15-10 But on the BAM website, it's 15-5 15-0... whichever is correct?
A win no matter what is still a win.Call him jaguh kampung,or whatever,he has beaten Taufik.Lcw can be proud,and he is the man who will stand a good chance as anybody to win the world championship this August.
This is not new anymore. Anything can happen in Chinese team when you want to put your country pride as top priority.
Guess the new Thai pair for MX is worth taking note of... 3 close games before losing to Robert & Natalie... ...
can some kind soul please post the scoring for LCW v Taufik? We know who won, but 15-5, 15-10 and 15-5,15-0 is a HUGE difference
