Could be a draft problem too? I bet CH is totally exhausted; you're right might not have much left for tomorrow
MAS girls win 21-19. Will they have enough left for 3rd game? First game lost by CHN WD pair this round. All others were straight set wins
Wong/Chin push the Chinese pair to a rubber-set...very good. Can they actually beat Wei/Zhang...who is probably the weakest of the four?
The Jap pair is also fighting hard, currently leading 13-12. Paaske/Rasmussen edge ahead in the closing stage of the first set, leading 17-16.
I would prefer Kido/Hendra to meet the Jap pair since INA MD pairs have lost several times to English pair this year In fact, Clark/Blair have beaten Kido/Hendra in the opening round of the All England this year. So, I am lending my support to the Jap pair in the closing stage....gambate....
I think it will be hard for Wong, she will be too tire after playing rubber set on both XD and now WD.
Cheah Soonkit has done great job. Suddenly MAS WD becomes a real opponent of Chinese WD. Big surprise! btw, Wong/Chin has fabulous defense, great placements. Really enjoyable to watch.
Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen take the first set 21-18. The Chinese pair is taking the initiative in the third set, leading 9-4. Clark/Blair also nudge in front, leading 17-14.
..from the looks of things, i have a sense it will be: LCW(wouldn't be surprised also if BCL makes it-50-50) vs. LHL in the Semis and PG vs. LD in the other Semis...Gade will win because CH has used up most of his gas.. and my early sense says LCW or BCL vs. PG in the Final...wow, what a classic that will be...
11-6 to the Chinese pair at the interval and it's still nail-biting between the English and Jap pair. The Jap pair trails 17-18.
two reigning world champions fell today. both are from indonesia. this is a sad day for Indonesia badminton. i had pretty high hopes for Nova/Lilyana.
...i'll say NO...unless there's some unfortunate mishaps/injuries to the remaining players(hopefully there won't be)...
