Sudirman Cup Day 6 (27 May 2011) : Quarterfinal!

Butet is injured and didn't travel with the team...hence Fran/Pia holding the fort for INA XD.

 

natsir injured her hand, so not playing

 

INA will take MD and XD that's very likely IMO. Only need to steal 1 more point, and that will be good enough. I'm already having SF meeting against Denmark in mind or even China in the final

 

For all the Canucks out there, we took the MD (Liu/Ng) 21-19, 21-17. CAN 1-0 HKG

In WS, Michelle Li leads Chan Tsz Ka 21-15, 4-4

 

where are you watching this???

go canada gooo!

 

Go to fromsportcom.com and you'll find the link there. UNfortunately they're showing the SIN v FRA match, but at least its English commentary

Michelle just won the last 5 points to beat Chan 21-15, 22-20. YEAHHH!!!

CAN 2-0 HKG

 

I heard the commentator say they wanted to give some of their youngsters a chance. As it was Chan Tsz Ka pushed Michelle Li all the way

 

Dang, the French have a couple of cuties on their team! No idea who they are though

 

As expected Chan Yan Kit has it easy against Stephan Wojcikiewicz 21-11

 

Chan Yan Kit wins 21-11, 21-12.

CAN 2-1 HKG

 

Japan could field in another XD pair hashimoto and fujii which is no easy meat at all.
I saw their match against the chinese and they could spoil the party for INA.

 

Yes, don't kan chiong..

and the best of luck to team ina later

 

The key for INA to win the tie with Japan is to at least split the singles. Both teams have the capability to win both singles, and the team that does will win.

The only advantage INA has right now is XD. As cute as Reiko Shiota is, she is not backed up by sufficient firepower or defensive armour.

WD is Japan's for the taking unless the rallies could be kept short. Anything around 50 minutes or more, is a Japanese recipe for success.

MD, I don't know. INA hasn't been performing well lately although typically INA pairs don't have much problems subduing Japanese men.

 

Is it true that this edition of SC doesn't have promotion/degradation system ?

So what's the point of battle it out to be no 1 in group 2 for example if not going to be promoted in elit group

 

I tot singapore sponsored by Li-ning but how come Gu Juan using NS9000 yonex racket even though her clothes has a li-ning logo?

 

Well done Singapore and well done Gu Juan for the QF win against France.

 

That's a good point. Perhaps the achievement is considered during the seeding purpose in the next cup?

 

MD 1st.. looks very tough for both team..50-50
