Kwun, if ur still on here... Please give a coupla "Zhong Guo Jia You, Lin Dan Jia you" for me as well!!!
No if Peter moves on, Taufik will stuff him liek you've never seen it before (based on his match with LCW) But i doubt him getting past lin dan, Lin's chance's are about similar with Taufik at the cup...
i almost got mine too... my heart was jumping for fast... well... both taufik and Nova/Lilyana won... so happy...
Phew...the third game was a roller-coaster. Nova/Lilyana got to an unbelievable start..12-0 in just one second serving. Then, the Thai came back slowly...gaining one point by one point up to 10. It was so difficult for the Indo pair to get the 3 points needed to win the match. Nova made a lot of error as usual. At last, they won the 3 points (which took thrice as much time as the 12 previous points). So, they will face Xie/Zhang in the final tomorrow. They will need to be careful because Indo pair always have difficulty facing the Chinese (no matter it is Zhang/Gao or Chen/Zhao). I guess their chances tomorrow against Xie/Zhang is about 55-60%.
Looking back at Peter's defeat from Taufik in Singapore Open, he's climbing up on to the right track for this event. Demolished Chen Hong yesterday.
But Peter always demolishes Chen Hong... life time record is 7-1. Lin Dan has beaten Peter on several meetings, although quite often taken to rubber.
After WC, Nova should be replaced by Eng Hian, he is the weaker link. Lilyana can go far but not with Nova. Lilyana should also try to play WD.
About to say, patner with Tony G but..? Tony should start playing Mixed, he will be a very good mixed players. Remind me of Christian H.
Gade deserves to win! After all that time drop! Just hope he doesn't get stressed because of the pressure, cuz he knows he can do it, he's so close now... 2-1 lindan
