    Kuan Beng Hong is a very good player, too bad he is so mentally fragile... His play style is good to watch

    KO 2008: Lydia Cheah lost to Susan Hughes 12-21, 13-21

    .
    Well... Lydia Cheah lost to Susan Hughes 12-21, 13-21.

    But, that's not a shame... I have met and seen Susan's play/skills here in Melbourne@Commonwealth Games 2006.

    Susan has good abilities and skills. :):):)

    No... KKK/TBH did not withdraw. They did not intend to play @KO 2008 (the decision was made weeks ago).

    From match overview, there're two home shuttlers that have almost similar name JANG Young Soo (MS) and JANG Soo Young (WS). The difference is only their given name arrangement.

    KOR WS is so powerful at this round as they will fight to grab 4 main draw tickets! One interesting MS qualification match, Lu Yi vs Athens Silver medalist Shon Seung Mo to bag one ticket for tomorrow first round...

    coming to a court near you...
    Off topic-kinda

    I was watching the Niemenen v Nadal match in the Aussie Open and the commentator mentioned that the Niemenens lived in Copenhagen because Jarkko's wife was a high level badminton player and needed to live there to train.

    Well, too bad both Niemenens have been shown the door in their respective tournaments.

    Lim Kim Wah and Ng Hui Lin won the 1st set easily and yet lost easily in the 2nd set, hope they dont go the route of KBH.

    Go Malaysia....
