60% chance that Kenichi Hayakawa/Misaki Matsutomo can make it through . You could be right. I would give a 60% chance that Kenichi Hayakawa/Misaki Matsutomo can make it through the Qualification Rounds. .
. You are correct. I was careless; I only picked the top 4 who could have higher chances of success. .
well then you have forgotten Shin Baek Cheol and Ha Jung Eun!!! HJE is superb.... She's definetly gonna qualify!!!
Don't forget Shin Baek Cheol and Ha Jung Eun!!! HJE is superb . Hi Cheetah, Are you going to the venue to watch? If yes, please inform us with some comments on how the qualification matches were played. .
Carola Bott (GER) at the 2011 German Open GPG . Someone emailed to me saying that Carola Bott (GER) is the hottest player (in looks) at this 2011 German Open GPG tournament. Hope that some BCers watching live at this tournament could post some of Carola's pics. .
Vita Marissa/Cynthia Tuwankotta (INA/SUI) has been promoted into main draw due to 3rd seed Nedelcheva/Russkikh (BUL/RUS) withdrawal.
Did I spotted Lim Kenn from Malaysia in German Open Qualifiying Round vs Sebatian Schoettler of Germany...?!
Don't tell me you either don't remember or have never seen her ?!? Anyhoo that is getting to be (very) old news now about someone that runs around over the court like a headless chicken . Besides that Gutta is playing so it's not even true . Frankly it's getting kinda sad with all these middle-aged perverted "photographers" gathering around court when she is on. Nothing has changed over the last 5 years ... even the "dutch" fans were rooting for her again Yao Jie at the Dutch Open (obviously knowing she had little chance) .
If you read more posts in the months to come, you will realise that chris-ccc is, not unlike me, not unbiased .
Indeed Lianne beat Karin in 3 epic games 21-18 2-21 22-20 Let's see she will face Kristina Ludikova or Ragna Ingolfsdottir in next round. My favorite would be Ragna.
