SEMIFINALS (02.00pm, 2 courts) => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...4CC75F-B49A-4425-9D95-7A43E840DD07&d=20150425 MS title goes to China as their representatives face-off in semifinal. Will it be Chen Long v Lin Dan once again in finale or either Wang ZM or Tian HW could upset their illustrious senior? Intanon v Tai TY, these two young ladies have good deceptive shots, superb skill, it will be hard to predict who will prevail this time and challenge home WS at last round, Li XR or Wang YH, the latter looks back to her fine form here. Korea has guaranteed 1 final ticket through Lee YD/Yoo YS v Kim GJ/Kim SR while at lower half of draw Ahsan/Setiawan will get another home pair Cai/Lu, both pairs fought extra hard yesterday to dispose Liu/Qiu and Kamura/Sonoda respectively. Matsutomo/Takahashi is surrounded by three CHN combos, this condition happens frequently in SS tournament. The Japanese pair eliminated Wang/Yu at their last meeting couple of week ago in Singapore. Xu/Ma v Ahmad/Natsir, it should be final clash, equal chance for both pairs to progress. At top half of draw, defending champion HKG Lee CH/Chau HW will oppose Hayakawa/Matsutomo, surprising semifinalists as two local powerful pairs conceded walkover at previous rounds. TV court matches (court 1) will begin on 03.00pm.
Not really, but they're just another CHN vs CHN of the myriad shows lol but to take it positively, the minor voices may just indicate some kind of admiration and envies
If anyone here has links to live streaming of today's matches, please kindly share them. Otherwise some of us will have to watch only second-hand matches on YouTube.
This one with Mandarin commentaries by Gong Weijie and another lady but only Ct1 beginning 3 pm local time http://live-tv.me/cctv5hd-sport-live I'm hoping for somebody to post Ct2 livestream if available.
Li Yongbo Plans: planning to mix and match Chen Long/Lin Dan at Sudirman cup based on fitness levels. ["I hope both of them can play one game in group games as a warming-up preparation for the next round. There was a series of matches in April, and the one who is in a better condition during those matches will be the first to play in the singles.” Li answered, as a response to the question about the use of Lin Dan and Chen Long.] [Concerning the preparation of China National Badminton Team, he continued that for all the close international badminton events, Chinese badminton players would be well-prepared. Chinese team attended 5 games in April and have no much time to prepare for the Sudirman Cup. However,since the Sudirman Cup is held in China this time, we have advantages such as sending our players earlier to the site for preparation.]
The live telecast has started and guess who is the commentator? JB. And he said the last thing the people want is an all CHN final and then he announce that HK's Lee and Chau have won their match. A sort of blunder because their opponent were JPN pair.
Nowadays, LXR's never-say-die spirit is remarkable. After narrowly losing G1, 20-22, and trailing most the way in G2, she draws level 17-all.
Phew, amazing, LXR just edged it 24-22 to equalize and force the decider ! I seldom get so excited following Livescore.
In G2, from 3-10, 10-16 to 17-all, 20-all to 24-22, LXR despite her constraint is so damn hard to defeat.
