congrats to Kidawan, finally they got it working and now! Olga Olga Olga!!!! folks all together now! Olga!
As predicted, Sony Dwi Kuncoro lost to Bao Chunlai 14-21 ; 12-21. And Kido/Setiawan win over Japanese MD, Hashimoto/Hirata with rubber game, 16-21 ; 21-13 ; 21-14.
Well, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan struggled in the first set, but recovered well to beat yet another Japanese pair. They will face Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif tomorrow.
Sony Dwi Kuncoro might as well withdraw from the Hong Kong SS as he will face Lin Dan in the first-round. Better save the air-ticket and fiscal.
it seems that this French open is at much, much higher level than the Denmark open. All the Denmark open semi-finalists, including finalists, runerup, champion... have all gone in early rounds of the French open. Taufik should have played the Denmark, which was his best chance to grab the first SS title.
don't tell him to do so, it's bad enough that CN team is upsetting badminton fans continously by skipping events without any reason! If others start this bad game also , it's gonna be a mess for us!
