Indonesia also has guaranteed 1 last four ticket through Widianto/Dili against current All England winner, Jordan/Susanto.

I think we could do without the first MS on tv court. The MD on display is also so-so. The rest is promising. I wonder how LXR will play. It is a very touchy situation.
Is it still possible for WSX to reach rank no 5 by 21July? If WYH wins against TTY tomorrow, can WYH drop to rank no 3 or 4 by 21 July?
The two WS and WD matches are worth watching - Saina and May rivalry is as good as it gets. And it would be interesting to see if China find a solution to the Matsutomo/Takahashi problem ..... of course, not for Olympics but for future domination.

let's see whether KKK/TBH able to beat the INA 4th pair Berry/Ryan again tonight, the MAS pair has previously beaten them last week INA open before losing to their fellow compatriots GVS/TWK who lost to that INA pair last night...
2 Koreans in SS tournament MS QF, and none of them are SWH or LDK? And 1 confirmed into the SF? What are the odds?
Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi vs Bao Yixin/Chen Qingchen should be good. Saina vs RI would be another worth watching.
Really like this Malaysian XD pair GO/CHAN.(and I'm not a fan of XD in general)The girl is so good at the net, very skillful, and GO has a very strong smash, very quick around the court. They won G1 quite comfortably.Hope they go further
Comfortable and convincing win from GOH/CHAN against LIU/TANG! Advancing to the semi-final 21-15 21-15
Totally agree with you. I am also not a great fan of XD but a great fan of MD (LYD / YYS) of course. But then this Malaysian XD pair really caught me by surprise because they can really play very well. Look at how Goh Liu Ying good net play, skillful and strong smash really amazed me. Plus Chan Peng Soon is good too. He just got that powerful smash and attack. Really a joy to watch. But then I am always a great fan of Ko Sung Hyun / Kim Ha Na. Anyway congratulations to Chan / Goh for playing so well to win their XD match today.
Ah so happy that Jeon Hyeok Jin got a free ride to semi finals don't need to play in the quarter finals today.
