2013 ALL ENGLAND SS Premier - Day 3 : Round of 16 (7th March)

But another tough challenge awaits her. It's TINA who's facing her last tournament. Can't wait to see how well LINDAWENI can hold her consistent performance. The best for LINDAWENI

 

In the last 2 years, Linda has improved her game by leaps and bounds, especially on the mental side. I've always enjoyed her style of play but she let a lack of confidence get to her. This is the Linda that can make the jump to the next tier of players, and I am happy for her.

 

I really have high expectations over AHSAN/SETIAWAN to win MD title after the last time CANDRA/SIGIT did it back in 2003.

Also INA still have 4 pairs for XD. Let's hope one of them can repeat last year achievement.

 

Still overall good day for Ina

Cant remember last time Ina has rep in all 5 discipline in QF AE

 

XD INA has a hope for all INA SF counter, but I think its not possible even if all INA final would be consider a big achievement.... XD clash QF at the AE is very competitive between XD WR No.1 to No.12. No one outside WR No.12 is left at the draw.

 

I agree.... I remember when it was only Tontowi/Butet left at the QF of some super series... Pretty disappointing back then...

 

you better cheer harder! It's a close one

 

same here...Aww! How I rooted for pontrip just because everyone pawed linda...

 

Indeed it is. I almost forgot INA still has TOMMY for MS

But being realistic, MD and XD are INA biggest chance to grab a title. XU/MA and ZHANG/ZHAO will like gonna kill each other at SF, so we will have a bigger chance if TONTOWI/NATSIR can make it to Final.

 

kwun's bro survives G2 but trail the rubber 3-6

 

What a great match for the last show of the day. 18 - 16. TAIPEI pair is winning.

Too bad not streaming available for this match :s

 

Kwun's brother made it 20 - 22, 23 - 21, 21 - 18

 

Am I the only one annoyed with Anthony Clark as commentator? Watching the MD match (BoMo vs Liu/Qiu) and it really seems like he has no clue about World Badminton....said BoMo have problems against very quick pairs, and then citing Adcock/Ellis as an example -.-
What the hell, BoMo won against Jung/Lee at the Olympics and against many of the quick Asian pairs - all of whom are in a whole other league than Adcock/Ellis. Damn British and their National pride! [Gail Emms was the same. No idea of how their MD teams really compare to the Top 10.]

 

The chair ump and the baseline judge for that match needs to receive a caning

 

Malaysia's top men's doubles and mixed doubles pairs of KKK/TBH and CPS/GLY were sent packing in straight games by unseeded pairs from Thailand and Indonesia.
What's wrong with them with all the hype heaped on them by their coaches?
Thankfully two other men's pairs and the women's pair of VH/WKW kept the Malaysian flag flying.
VH/WKW (U) upset the form book by beating EHW/JYN (S4). Hopefully they will continue to progress.

 

Although I'm Indonesian, but me too!! lol... I'm rooting Pontrip coz everyoneelse pawed linda... lol but eitherway who wins, I'll be happy coz if Linda won, it means one rep from INA at AE QF... hehehe..

 

WSX is the only China WS player left....if she fail, I think this is new history in 10 years there is no China WS in SF

 

4 INA XD will battle with top seeded tonight. There is a chance all INA XD Semifinal or there is no INA XD left
