2013 ALL ENGLAND SS Premier - Day 2 : Round of 32 (6th March)

WOW! ZM leaves the lift and it hits the line. He can't believe it and falls to the floor. This was after a long, long rally. Ueda at match point 20-19

 

out again

 

Zweibler rolls on the ground after a dubious call for 19-20.
He has been playing ridiculous long rallies without lifting at all. Exhausting just watching it.

 

UEDA again is on luck. Closed the match 21 - 19 against MARC

 

Unbelievable rally to end the match. MZ throwing the kitchen sink at Ueda but it kept on coming back. Finally a poor judgement from MZ and the bird is clearly in. Ueda wins 21-19

 

WSX blocks into the net and CM closes to 7-8

 

Meanwhile Sony and Ivanov deadlocked at 7-7

 

Poor net shot from CM. 10-7

 

11 point again shixian

 

Marc really needs a good finisher... Every time he gets a big advantage it just turns into a flat game. But Ueda was really good at recovering and staying in those rallies...

Also, that match was really painful to watch as a Zweibler fan. Just stopped on the goal line, he must have been really exhausted too.

 

WSX up 11-8 going to the easier side

 

8-11 shixian come on

 

You could see MZ was having a tough time killing off Ueda, whose defence was superb. Something for him to work on I suppose

 

wah come on shixian

 

Another poor net shot from CM. Not convincing with that shot. 12-10

 

9 point again

 

Hey, lost streaming. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Smith and White are last home pair left in the tournament and they are up against Ma Jin and Tang Jinhua.

On the plus side they can probably get bulk discount on the travel costs home

 

Yeh, mines gone too

 

I've lost my feed. Now down to Live Score (and you kind fellows).
Go Sony! Viva Carolina!
