2011 Denmark Open SSP: Round 2 Thu 20-October

[phil-mm]

same here, the ws is fronzen while the ms is good. LCW just won the game

Too bad the exciting match is gone. I never watch LCW unless his opponent is LD. He just mows down the rest of the field, lol.

Let's sit up and take notice of Ithanon Ratchanok! She's just beaten Tine 21-16 in G1 and leadig 9-5 in G2, another shining star in the making.

 

[Justin L]

In the rubber set, I'd expect Wang to make TYS sweat.

IND may produce many MS players nowadays but so far go unnoticed...
thing is better in WS: Saina and XD: Diju/Jwala

honestly i recall no one among their MS players within memory

 

[2cents]

This one two years, India has produced a crop of MS players, eg Chetan Anand,Anup Sridhar, then P Kashyap, AJay Jayaram, but they come and go, so much so you are not really sure which of them has got true potential. For their WS, it's clearly still Saina Nehwal but her performance seems to be missing something. I'd like to mention Sindhu but it's early days yet.

Badminton is, and has been always popular in India. I heard, (could be wrong), that badminton was invented long time ago in India. India has many players all the time, but few reached top level. Even though, most indians believe they are always a powerhouse in badminton.

Indian value the all england open the most. Prakash and Gopi both had won the all england. But that's it. only 1 time. That's India stands for "I'll Not Do It Again".

Inthanon still leads 11-10 against Tine in G2...seems Tine is facing serious trouble there

... now 12-11

 

[kelana]

WYH vs TYS 11-3 into interval, G3

....accelerates into 14-4 now, 15-4

What about Lee CW-Chen Long match-up? Surely, well worth watching from now on, after their Japan Open slugfest, unless you miss that one.

 

[phil-mm]

Woohoo! Inthanon is on the verge of beating Tine, and TTY did so against SN just now. A prelude to next week's World Juniors?

 

[Justin L]

Inthanon still leads 11-10 against Tine in G2...seems Tine is facing serious trouble there

... now 12-11

Yeah, I sense another upset in the making, after Tai TY's elimination of Saina. Both these young lasses are really something.

 

[kelana]

seems Tine will be out...Inthanon is leading 19-15 in G2

yes Inthanon beats Tine 21-16, 21-15

 

[Justin L]

IR 19-15 now, go,go,go.

 

[kelana]

Wang Yihan beats Tse Ying Suet 20-22, 21-10, 21-7

 

[Justin L]

Yippee! another one bites the dust, Tine, that is.

What about Lee CW-Chen Long match-up? Surely, well worth watching from now on, after their Japan Open slugfest, unless you miss that one.

Didn't watch that one too as I hadn't expected the upset. Will watch the rematch in future.

 

[Justin L]

Wang Yihan beats Tse Ying Suet 20-22, 21-10, 21-7

No surprises, I expect Wang YH to take this title.

 

[JulianPl]

Someone got a working stream for court 1 ? (Peter Gade - Marc Zwiebler playing now)

 

[kelana]

No surprises, I expect Wang YH to take this title.

i wish it's NOW her compatriot's turn...

how about Jiang Yanjiao who hardly grabs anything significant so far... feel sorry for her among the top four

 

[Justin L]

Didn't watch that one too as I hadn't expected the upset. Will watch the rematch in future.

Trust me, you must watch the replay. I did, three times, and,boy, I was amazed - Chen Long playing like Lin Dan in Game 1 and 3, with Lee CW ,well, playing like himself in Game 2.

I bet,after watching that match, you will see Chen Long in a different light. Before, I don't use to take him seriously, now I do. That's explains why when he performs not in the manner I expects of him today and yesterday, I get worked up.

 

[phil-mm]

The poor Danish fans. I can imagine them all quiet with their mouths wide open.
