2011 China Open SSP: Round 2 Thu 24-Nov

XD: Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (1)(CHN) bt (JPN) Shoji Sato/Shizuka Matsuo 21-17, 21-15

 

XD: Xu Chen/Ma Jin (2)(CHN) vs (MAS) Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying 14-21, 21-11
goes into rubber game!


Coming Next: Han Li vs Petya

 

Amazing for me,but distressing for all the non CHN players, a Li XR has yet to take the WS by storm and now,out of nowhere,you have a Yao Xue emerging behind her. What about Chen Xiaojia, we'll be seeing her in action later against fellow teammate Liu Xin? And there is a Li Han to take note of. Luckily,the CHN MS upstarts are not so scary,what a relief.

 

Now,let's see if Li Han can avenge her senior Jiang YJ by taking out her conqueror Petya.

 

Those two that were drawn against their senior teammates? Yes they really put up a "fight"

 

XD: Xu/Ma is on the EXIT path by MAS pair

 

Du Pengyu vs Peter Gade 16-21, 21-9 ... goes into rubber game!

 

I thought I saw 18-19 to Peter, but it was 18-9,then 19-9, now game 2 to Du PY 21-9, what happened to PG?

 

totally unexpected... looks like the biggest win by the Mas pair...

 

XD: Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying (MAS) bt (CHN)(2) Xu Chen/Ma Jin 21-14, 11-21, 21-16

and this is the BIGGEST UPSET so far today!!

 

Qiao Bin and Kai Wen,unlucky for them but lucky for the non-CHN MS then. I don't count Lu Yi because he's not new to the circuit, and not that young too.

 

I had a feeling something was up with this pair when I saw them. Not bad, hope they can emulate their performances tomorrow.

 

maybe he's just tiring out the opponent. 21-16 then lost 9-21. rubber game now.

congrats on the unseeded malaysian pair on beating world #2 mixed doubles! malaysia boleh!

I almost didn't notice: J O Jorgensen sent Nguyen TM packing in 3 games.

 

OMG, MAS No.1 mixed pair Chan/Goh just SILENCED the China crowd...!!

 

Congratulation to Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying. Finally the biggest win in their career. Keep it up!!!

 

Petya takes the G1 21-19 against Han Li

 

Nope, Li Han lost G1, but a close shave for Petya. Still not over yet

 

Chan/Goh is a promising pair. Good to see that once in a while.

 

Finally,Peter found his footing in G3, 18-10 up
