Yonex German Open 2007: Day 4 (02/03) - QF

Hmm, today's QF will start at 4.00pm and it means late night in major Asia countries (10.00pm Jakarta time ; 11.00pm MAS/SIN/CHN time).

MS -- Tough test for LD before he takes revenge to PSH tomorrow. Lu Yi, new name from CHN squad -- is he prepared by LYB to join CHN's MS-4 soon?!CY should be okay to overcome DEN's next-generation.

WS -- Exciting match between Hwang and Petya.

MD -- Wanna see INA's debutant Fran/Sigit advance to last four amid KOR dominance here.

XD -- Most tension match World Champ vs unbeatable CHN pair.

 

I don't think that LD will have too much of a problem agianst Choon Han Wong. I'm rooting for Parsson though, looking forward to what the next generation of Danes bring to the game, especially after the recent influx of China.

 

Wow two qualifiers playing each other in MSQF .

 

XXF is being whipped by Juliane, 12-3!!

 

Catching up a bit, but definitely not a good start lol.

 

I think Juliane is going to take the first set, it is 19-8 now.

 

first blood to JS, 21-10, what's going on??
she's gonna ruin my PAW, hehe ...

 

Wow Juliane won first set 21-10, maybe they got it mixed up??

 

what!!!! XXF lost in the 1st game..isk isk... jia you jia you!!!

 

I think Juliane will give away game 2 and try to win game 3

Hope she can make the sensation!!!

 

XXF is now leading now..by 6 points...jia you

 

do give away for the game 3 as well....

 

Mirror of first set in favour of XXF . Hope Juliane can make it though!

 

and XXF wrapped the 2nd game...jia you jia you

 

What does "jia you" mean in english?

Something like "come on"?

 

I know it's something like that .

 

yup, literally means add oil, as in to add oil to the fire to make it burn brighter i guess ...

 

Can I ask why do players often "give away" the second game and try to win the third? What advantage does that give them? Just curious...

 

time to recover i guess, if you pushed hard in the first game.
haven't you watched prince of tennis??
