    Yeah I suppose that's true. Though I have to say the Ashan is the main reason IND lost this one. I guess he really wants to win badly consider all the top seeds are already gone.

    Wooohoo! Dream final for me! :D Hopefully both pairs can reproduce their top form - Liu/Qiu their R16/SF and Endo/Hayakawa their QF performance :)
    Should be a superb fast-paced match, unless one pair utterly dominates the other. They'll definitely both be pumped up, afaik this is gonna be the biggest match in all four players' career yet...

    That was well deserved win by China MD.
    In the end they forced their game on INA.
    Everyone, including Gill Clarke, is blaming Ahsan, but really all four players did well to give us such an entertaining match! :)

    (that around the back by Ahsan was outrageous)

    Ahsan's body was just too too tense... unable to relax and play his normal game, he and his partner is defeated by the rising Chinese pair despite leading

    hendra/ahsan lost 17-21 in 3rd set. I think because Ahsan has nervous. He make several mistakes in the crucial point. mostly hit the top of net T_t not really his day I guess. Try next year Hendra / Ahsan! believe you both can do it =D

    Yeah, I thought so - didn't think Hendra was the reason. He's really been super consistent since splitting from Kido. Haven't seen any of the match, but my guess would be that Ahsan tried to hit too hard a lot of the time, or that he got outplayed at the net. Soft touches aren't his strong suit (again, not counting his deceptive drop shot, which is amazing).

    With a much slower Fu ;)

    If Tine is not thinking about winning tomorrow, she will win this match, otherwise it's going to be Janet Sung's day.

    Just not true. Your bias against China is getting a bit old, I have to say. Just support whomever you want, and we can all have a great day filled with badminton! ;)


    Not at all.. I like indonesian players style more than their opponents.. Your remark about "bias against china" is totally not true and only exists in dreams ... I have full liberty to support whomsoever i wanted to.. Anything to do with you???

    Consistency is always something INA players can't keep up with :(

    AHSAN/SETIAWAN, what a let down :'(

    Now all hope is on DEBBY/RIJAL to make a history ALL INDONESIAN XD FINAL

    Leading at interval 11 - 7

    Good start for them.

    Ahsan was the weak link and a bundle of nerves. Made a lot of schoolboy errors. Some of his service returns was half court and exposed his partner.
