    The Indian contingent had 12 players in the round of 16; they have only 1 left in the Semi-finals.
    The last girl standing is Sindhu.
    She is unseeded, current BWF ranking being 76. She will be up against top seed Porntip of Thailand, who is a solid, reliable and consistent player.
    But Sindhu, that girl has no respect for seeds! She scatters them all around! :eek::p
    Still, it may just be too difficult this time, but I hope she will make a match out of it! :)

    Second seed Yao Jie (and crowd favourite?) should get through without much of a fuss, I think.

    And the crowd will also be rooting for Eric Pang, who upset top seed Ajay Jayaram in 3 thrilling games in the quarter-finals.

    The Danish MD pair of Kolding/Skovgaard (BWF ranking 119) have been killing off higher-ranked opposition to gt into the semis; can they do it again? Its possible! :D That would put an end to the lone Polish representation at this stage: the MD pair (seeded 3) of Cwalina/Logosz.

    So much to choose from.... :D

    The defeat of Ajay Jayaram(2) to Eric Pang(5) 11-21, 24-22, 22-24 in the QF was unexpected. If Ajay had won the 1st game, I think he would have won the match.

    The 2nd match is another Mixed Doubles match;

    Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [1] (THA)-vs-

    Big camera crew present, meaning these matches will most likely be available on DVD at tv broadcast standard either at the extortionist price of €8 per match or the extortionist price of €22 per 5(?). I guess they can't make two sets of 5 with the court scheduling so more likely to be sold per single match like in the previous year.

    I can't believe Auntie Yao Jie is still flying the flag for NED. Kinda like LCW, only older, hehe :D

    Mind you, it was only Karina Jorgensen whom she beat. She'll be in tough against either Porntip or Sindhu in the final, players with real potential.
