Expecting closer matches than yesterday quater final .
My gut feeling tells me the Li Xuerui - Juliane Schenk SF match, whoever wins will be the eventual champion. I'm rooting for LXR but Juliane impresses me lately,witnessed how she played and eliminated Saina in the Denmark Open 2011 Semi-Final.
Boe/Mogensen - Liu/ Qiu 20-22 Good Luck they changed the scoring system, otherwise the score would be like 2-3 after 20 minutes, only 5 rallies were won by the server
1st game to Wang 21-18 but I hoped he's not underestimating Eric who plays more positively,attacking better but with more unforced errors.
Marie Ropke smashes her racket, against the chair in anger as the Danes go down 23-21 in the rubber...
I want to add that the other two Princesses in my book are Ithanon Ratchanok and Tai Tzu Ying - these 3 are the future stars of WS,just my personal opinion.
Vittinghus did it 17-21 21-17 and 21-16. Somehow I felt Zwiebler should have taken G2 and the match but after he lost it,he started to lose focus in G3 and despite closing the gap to 9-11 he just couldn't overtake his opponent who went on to take the match.
Game 1 to Sayaka Sato 21-18 over the highly experienced veteran, Yao Jie,who still has a lot of fight in her.
Talking about Yao Jie,she actually registered a shock win over Wang Yihan in the recent Singapore Open 2011 Quarter-Finals
