Most interesting matches! ROBERTSON Nathan & EMMS Gail{ENG} v. 6* ZHANG Jun & GAO Ling No close match here, the english are going to win amazingly well or lose amazingly well. 1* GADE CHRISTENSEN Peter {DEN} v. LEE Chong Wei {MAS} Gade to win...in three sets 1* LULUK Hadiyanto & YULIANTO Alven{INA} v. Candra WIJAYA & Sigit BUDIARTO{INA} Candra and Sigit to win KUAN Beng Hong {MAS} v. 7* BAO Chunlai {CHN} If the crowd shout for Kuan, Bao will get nervous and lose a few points that could make the difference between winning and losing. 3* PAASKE Lars & RASMUSSEN Jonas{DEN} v. LIN Woon Fui & MOHD TAZARI Mohd Fairuzizua{MAS} Wonder how the new M'sian generation will do against the world champs. Lar and Jonas surprisingly dropped a set against another M'sian pair. HASHIM Muhd Hafiz B {MAS} v. 3* CHEN Hong {CHN} Match of the day! BOE Mathias & MOGENSEN Carsten{DEN} v. CHAN Chong Ming & KOO Kien Keat{MAS} A glimpse of the future of badminton. Watch out for these two pairs!
I am more excited at the match btw Hafiz and Chen Hong. Hafiz holds a 3-2 advantage over his Chinese counter-part and after he had beaten Ponsana and Choon Han, his morale should be high. But Chen Hong is the defending champion and last year, he beat Hafiz en route to the final. Despite that, I still believe Hafiz can win him.
i'm more interested in the match between gao/zhang and gail/nathan and chong wei against peter g. cheung obviously believes in peter but not entirely confident in him, hence the 3 sets? but unless chong wei has not recovered his SAAAAD loss in china, i feel he can topple peter g. zhang jun is easily excited and this usually leads to him making shocking mistakes. i have feeling there might be an upset here. i can't predict the winner betw. chen hong and hafiz as i haven't really seen the latter play before, so it'd be hard to judge.
close though. 13-15. gail/nathan leading 11-10 now m'sian pair of kkk and wong pei tty won the first set against jens/mette of denmark. good job too ... oh no! now they are one game all (m'sia v den)
mixed doubles widianto nova/natsir lilyana beat kim yong hyun/lee hyo jung---15-11,15-3 just two set.......
