2011 Swiss Open GPG: Day 4 Friday 18-March (Quarter-Finals)

A breakdown of the Quarterfinals by countries:

MS: KOR 2, DEN 1, ESP 1, INA 1, IND 1, JPN 1, MAS 1
WS: KOR 3, BUL 1, GER 1, INA 1, IND 1, TPE 1
MD: INA 2, KOR 2, GER 1, IND 1, NED 1, TPE 1
WD: KOR 3, TPE 2, DEN 1, INA 1, JPN 1
XD: DEN 2, MAS 2, ENG 1, INA 1, KOR 1, TPE 1

Total: KOR 11, INA 6, TPE 5, DEN 4, IND 3, MAS 3, GER 2, JPN 2, BUL 1, ENG 1, ESP 1, NED 1

By continent: Asia 30, Europe 10

In the AE it was Asia 29.5 and Europe 10.5, so it appears the 3:1 Asia:Europe ratio in the QF is showing up again.
 
Matches for Ina in QF :

Simon v Sho Sasaki : last time they met, Sasaki won, so it's time for revenge !!

Linda v Bae Youn joo : BYJ to prevail

Alvent/Hendra AG v giant killer Bosch/Ridder : this should be interesting but Ina should grateful it's not BoMo who they face
Ahsan/Bona v KSH/YYS : Korean in 3

Mel/Greys v Jang Ye Na/Kim Min seo : still have faith in Mel/Greys so they'll win in 3

Tantowi/Lily v Kolding/Houmann : Ina in 2

So after QF expect Simon, Alvent/AG, Mel/Greys, Tantowi/Lily are thru...

At the start of the Round of 16 they still had 3.

Quote from the link:
"With 10,000 people watching and a great atmosphere, it's by far our biggest achievement," said Boe, who slumped to the ground at the denouement. "We're going back to Denmark tonight but we have two big bottles of champagne and I think we will drink them."

I bet the world no. 1 MB/CM must be feeling the effect of the champagne they won in the AE by now:D:D, which probably explained why they were a little bit 'weak in the legs' just now.

So after QF expect Simon, Alvent/AG, Mel/Greys, Tantowi/Lily are thru...
.
From the results, Simon, Linda and Mel/Greys are not in top form;

* Simon Santoso [2]-Sergey Ivlev 21-17, 23-21
* Lindaweni Fanetri-Carolina Marin 22-20, 22-20
* Meiliana Juahari/Greysia Polii [2]-Jenny Wallwork/Gabrielle White 21-14, 19-21, 24-22

Day 3 of the Swiss Open saw the exit of MHH (9) beaten by the unseeded Pablo Abian.:confused:
However, two old guards are still in the running.
Uncle WCH beat DP and LHI beat WHS, the Korean youngster. This says a lot for these two campaigners. They keep going despite the odds and early defeats in other tournaments. Hats off to them.:D
The Malaysian back-up players should take a leaf from their books.
Uncle’s match against JOJ in the quarter-final should be a cracker.:cool:
SN exacted revenge on EH, her AE conqueror and the AE MD winners MB/CM lost to the unseeded pair of RB/KR. :D/:confused:
Malaysian men’s doubles were pushed aside in day 3.:confused:
Thankfully, we have two pairs contesting in the quarter-final matches and it is hoped that OJG/CSC and CPS/GLY oblige.:cool:

Talking about WCH in the Round of 16, I was quite surprised that he defeated DP so easily;

Wong Choong Hann [12]-Dicky Palyama [8] 21-17, 21-07 in 28 minutes
.
 
so far the xd is doing great
and today is another uphill task
stamina is on their side
.
There are 2 MAS XD pairs at the QF today, namely;

(1) Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying-vs-Nathan Robertson/Jenny Wallwork [Seeded 2]
(2) Ong Jien Guo/Chong Sook Chin-vs-Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen [Seeded 4]

Don't know if both the MAS pairs can make it into the Semi-Finals. :confused::confused::confused:

More likely none than two.

CPS/GLY vs NR/JW is a rematch of the Commonwealth Games Semi-finals, where the Malaysian pair held 2 match points but blew them as NR/JW made a comeback to steal the rug under the MAS pair. As for OJG/CSC, I'm pretty impressed that they have made it this pair, this pair is pretty average, so I am not going to even pin any hope on OJG/CSC. Well done to both for reaching this stage though, by causing upsets over higher-ranked opponents.
