Maybe, but I thought the same about the JO MSF. That doesn't seem to have effected him all that much judging by his performance today. Anyway we can only wait and see.
I predict CJ soon will be able to beat LD, if allowed the stupid LYB. CJ has the court coverage, speed and impressive defense to stop LD from smashing everything down. What he needs is a little better offensive play instead of just counterattacking. He has his age with him and I guess we in a year or two will see this guy rule the MS together with LD or maybe as single king on the throne.
I'll be cheering on Chen Jin . I'd like to see him win a title for a change, it's been awhile! Besides I think Lin Dan has won plenty already .
You know, like XXF, Camilla Martin or Gail Emms! Hmm, what a party that would be. By the way, does anyone know if the English pair have played in the mixed doubles yet?
Many many thanks! How did you know where the live webcast would be? It seems like it keeps moving, from CCTV5 to GDTV, then this channel on PPStream. I'm glad I watched the Taufik vs. Chen Jin's match, it was exciting. At one point, I thought Taufik could pull it off, Taufik played superbly in the second set, but Chen Jin won it at the end even Taufik was leading the majority of the third set by a few points. Taufik still has a chance to get on top, it's just up to him whether he wants to fix his stamina or not. Technically, he's outstanding.
Thanks for this info (that's a great performance by Andrew) but what I wanted to know about was the game between HE Han Bin/YU Yang vs. BLAIR Robert/Jenny Wallwork Has this been played yet?
This game is on going, Blair/Jenny is leading in the first set, I don't know the score, I just closed the PPStream as I'm getting ready to go to work You can watch the game on PPStream, search for detail info on this thread
Thanks for the updates. Sadly I can't stream this because I am at work, but I will check here for anymore updates. Thanks a million.
So same with the MS, it will be an all-chn semis in the XD as well.... Wang Chen into the semis with Zhu Lin's w.o.
a lil thought on TH vs CJ match.. the last game is a very interesting match and a close affair which cd end in either way. i thnk TH has given his best and disagree that he didn't care or wasn't serious. just that at the end of the 3rd game, i believe his stamina hs gone down and taken its toll... he tried ending the game bt was slower.. anyway, CJ has shown he is in line to shine.. he has what it takes to be a great player.
