2009 Super Series Masters Finals - Day 2: Thursday December 03

KKK/TBH have chance if they win against both INA and CHN... on paper they should. So, on paper KKK/TBH qualifies but as I said yesterday on paper they shouldn't lose to Fuzzy at all. Nevermind, if they fail, just cheer them on in the Laos SEA games.

 

Optimist

Looks like PSH gets the ticket to the semi-finals
If PG wins tomorrow, he and PSH qualifies.

In Group A, I predict LCW and BCL qualify. Don't tell me BCL lose to Hsieh?
Unless TH pulls off a surprise over LCW and LCW loses to BCL

 

Juliane doing surprising well over Yao Jie.
Lunch time, later watching KKK/TBH, LCW and WMC.

 

wake up yao jie!

 

this fuzzy pair really makes me lol..

in the 1st set they was leading 17-13, but ended up losing the 1st set 18-21. maybe the doubles version of yoyo? jk.

2nd set? no comment!

 

looks like its all over for yao jie
there goes my paw.

 

Both Jie and Julaine are hungry and want to finish the match and rush off for some nice lunch.

 

can someone enlighten me with the points or rules of this robin round.. i mean, if fuzzy wins against INA, then fuzzy has 2 wins and 1 lost, let say, kkk/tbh wins against the chinese and INA, they also have 2 wins and 1 lost..then, that also means the chinese duo has 2 wins and 1 lost..then, who will go to the semi final?huhuhuh

 

I think it will go to sets won/sets lost So if one wins in straight sets, they will have 2/0 in their record, while if one wins in rubber, they will have 2/1. Then, they add up both sides and take left to minus right. The 2 highest numbers obtained should qualify. Speaking of it, I don't think Fuzzy can beat Rian/Yoke seeing their yoyo form lately. Rian/Yoke the Japan Open runner-up 0 wins? I don't think so

 

It indeed goes to games/set won. And if even that are same, to points won.
And if even that are same, then the fans at BC.com get to vote.

OK the last line is false.

 

LOL, I so wish the last line was true I think more people will vote the Malaysians
Points same? less than 1 in a trillion chance.

 

You think so
Remember, China has the largest population in the world.
And they love their badminton.

 

hehe..thank you..i was just giving examples..hehe rian/yoke almost won yesterday, so yeah, i do think fuzzy will have a tough time playing with them tomorrow...

 

George, remember Rian/Yoke were leading in both games yesterday (20-16 in g1 and 19-16 in g2) and lost in straights.

By the way, Xu/Guo are very likely thru to SF with 2-0 matches and 4-0 games so far.

 

that's true, but since all the big guns skipped the tournament they don't follow up

 

Yup. Sometimes badminton is so unpredictable though

 

Does anybody know what the tv court is? do they switch during the day?

 

Can these set of rules on 'Positioning of Teams with same win/lost' be found anywhere?
Just wondering, do they only counts the win/lost games played between the 3 "tie" teams only, or all the 4 teams win/lost games.

 

look back last year's results in the table for example
