    Really? From what I've seen, INA gals play with 'nothing to lose' spirit, while KOR play with 'yes we can win' attitude.
    Different.;)

    WX started ferociously. Sung is tall but she isn't displaying any speed from the first few rallies.

    MJ/WXL are not as good as former China doubles like Gao Ling/Huang Sui or Zhang Jiewen/Yang Wei. And Lee Hyo-jung/Kim Min-jung are REAL fighters!!!

    I wonder who's the younger China coach who sat watching in the 2 front chairs? I thought I've known his face but I forgot.

    WX is one little firecracker. If she can hold it mentally, it's her match to lose.

    I think CHN miss someone like Ge Fei or Gao Ling that can instill calmness and confidence to others

    Tian Bingyi and Chen Qiqiu.

    Tian was MD players in the late 80's. Chen is MD/XD player just a few years ago.

    Sung's weakness is her rear court. she doesn't have a very flexible back.

    Who would have thought about it. World Number 1 WYH losing to someone ranked 20+ and world number one MJ/WXL losing to a scratch pair...

    Now it really a test of character for WX. I think she can pull it off.

    what is really really disappointing is the quite empty stadium:mad::mad::mad:
    the capability of filling a badminton stadium in Malaysia was shown yesterday, and this was just a semi final day:eek:, what we see today is the missing respect for others, unbelievable - an empty stadium for the finals, best sports on earth and nobody goes there, what a pity for the players:mad:
    but this is simply what I've expected:eek:, was hoping Malaysians will proof me wrong, but they didn't:mad:

    Hahaha, yes, I even read in Kompas that the INA girls didn't even look sad or disappointed. Apparently they thought it was understandable they lost to China.

    WX has a really awesome looking smash, she throws her whole body at it. pretty nice to look at.

    Ah, ya, thanks for telling me. :) I know Tian was LYB's partner, wasn't he?

    I never watched CQQ playing but I've seen his face.

    I'm not sure Sung can beat Wang, so if Korea will win this Uber Cup, they may have point from their second doubles.
