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:

It takes me a while to realise MHH is Hafiz and some of the initials.
 
Next up on Court 1, Sung Ji Hyun vs. Tai Tzu Ying. The two are right next to each other in the World Rankings: Sung JH is 19th, while Tai TY is 20th.
 
3rd seeds and world no. 2 MD pair Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae def. 8th seeds and world no. 12 pair Ingo Kindervater/Johannes Schoettler 21-19, 21-14
 
Up next on Court 2, Cheng Wen Hsing/Chien Yu Chin [1] vs. Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl [5]. The TPE pair is ranked 1st in the world, while the Danes are ranked 39th. The Taiwanese have beaten the Danes once before, at the 2011 Korea Open.
 
Up next on Court 2, Rupesh Kumar/Sanave Thomas vs. Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu [4]. The Taiwanese are ranked 7th in the world, while the Indians are ranked 28th, but the head to head record speaks for the Indian pair: they have defeated the TPE pair a long time ago, at the 2007 Philippines Open.
 
It seems that DEN WD know how to bt the world no 1 TPE pair. Last week, Line Damkjaer Kruse/Marie Roepke and this week Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl.
