2011 Macau Open GPG: Tue 29-Nov to Thu 01-Dec (Matches before the Quarter-Finals)

Taufik is really making life difficult for himself. After having established another 5 pts lead at 16-11, he let the CHN player catch up again.

 

Even if he manages to win today, I don't see how Taufik can get past a more motivated Lee Hyun Il.

 

By this defeat, gone already the whole platoon of THA female squad.

 

It seems that Goh Liu Ying was injured and forcednto play that match.

 

Taufik Hidayat [3] eventually takes the match 21-16 in the rubber-set. Lee Hyun Il beckons tomorrow and at this kinda of form, the Korean will win in 2 sets.

 

cps said she is not felling well

 

I wonder when was the last time these two old foe have met, it should be fun battle.............

 

We did ask tan Kim her....he said that goh threw up this morning....so she felt weak.

 

Hope she can recover soon

 

Probably because of the change in weather? It was still hot in Macau yesterday (28 degree C). Today, it drops to only around 15-16 now. Tomorrow, it's gonna be even colder at 13.

 

Thomas Cup 2008 in Jakarta maybe?

 

nevermind for CPS/GLY lost in Macau Open, it just GP tournament. The Super Series (Premier) is the big thing for them to gain more point and improve their world ranking.

 

Oh thanks for the info

 

I see. Hope Goh Liu Ying recovers soon.

 

I would say Lee Hyun-Il, The Master Defender, is a tough nut to crack for 90% of the players,even the top 10% are caught off-guard on their not-so-good-but-not-necessary-off-days.

 

So, it's sick or injured? Wish GLY speedy recovery

 

I don't know what are Simon doing.ckck.trailing from 11-17 and make it 20-17 then lost 22-24..arghh..so frustated.

 

Oh dear,is Simon going to remind us again of Kaori's fate?

 

A resurrected...erm resurgent LXR ,nicely done,taking out Hsiao Ma Pai 21-9,21-18

 

The old habits still affect INA players most of the times. Simon once again let slip 3 match pts at the end of the second set and ended up losing 22-24.
