Yes...the match also happened in French Super Series 2007, lasted 1:47 as shown in tournamentsoftware. That's the longest ever match I believe.
Boe/Mogensen are picking up steam now. Often top players are sometimes not too comfortable playing Indian players initially. Even Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli struggled a bit with Jwala Gutta and her young partner Ashwini Ponnappa. Quite a good looking girl, is Ashwini Ponnappa, talked to her and her parents during India Open GP Gold.
i was wondering isnt it required that u team up with someone from the same country??? or was that an exception?
Ponnappa has a very powerful smash from what I've seen last week. Actually, she nearly plays mixed doubles with Jwala Gutta. Gutta is always at the net and Ponnappa smashing behind. On the matchs I saw, Gutta was not really kind with her team-mate, even though Ponnappa was running all over the court...
Well, they don't deserve to be ridiculous in front of french crowd. Moreover, Laura Choinet is kinda cute.
That is very true, Gutta doesn't really take her fair share of the workload whether in WD or XD. That's probably one of the reasons why she had a falling out with her former WD partner Shruti. Ponnappa is still a junior but one day she too might not be able to withstand Gutta's behaviour.
according to HKG SS next month, ZYW will be paired with Tian Qing....seems PP/ZYW only in Europe tours...
total of 16 points finally. Hongyan is last chance for french fans. Konon's a better draw than Shixian Wang. She would have lost for sure against chinese junior. Still, I'm expecting a hard fight tomorrow. The last matches of Shixian Wang were victories faced to Chen Wang, Yihan Wang, Lan Lu and Lin Wang !
Wow Vita/Cynthia give CHN pair a run for the money! Good job so far C'mon take the 2nd set and the decider as well Semangat!
i fall asleep, just checked some surprising news. almost choking with my late supper. OLGA WON??? WOWWWW............... GeNit won???? Shendy/Mel LOST??? ARGHHHHH..............
Quite a few upsets.. ..surprised to see quite a few upsets. - The biggest one is definitely Olga over WangSX, which could've gone either way. - Then Persson upsetting Simon in straight games?? Perhaps Simon knew what was coming or who he'll face in the QF should he win.. - Firdasari's win over Tine is a bit of a surprise. Tine must've ran out of gas in the rubber game by looking @ the scoreboard. - And the last one, the Brits gals beating the INA WD pair. Last game tells it all.. ..not only against INA WDs but against any pair. Rubber games and long rallies are the JPN WD's specialty.. ..tell me about it. Concur on the 1st point. And yes, i've mentioned abt the 3rd point in one of the Denmark Open threads.. ..Lind's pic is in the badzine link, the one Raphy gave early in this thread.
