Home fans have 1 representative here, Lee Chun Hei/Chau Hoi Wah who will take on CHN back up pair Liu Cheng/Bao Yixin in last match. INA secured 1 final spot through Sony DK v Tommy Sugiarto and most likely top-seed Lee Chong Wei will be one of their opponent tomorrow. Lee YD/Yoo YS v Ahsan/Setiawan, will the reigning World Champion win this time? After knocked out the Olympic Champion yesterday, Porntip will take on another China top player today whom she beat last week in CHN Open SSP, will she repeat same outcome here?
I made a mistake that Porntip B scored her maiden win against Li Xuerui in the QF of the YSHKO 2013. PB first prevailed against LXR at the Korean Open when Li retired with the score at 7-7 in the first game and her second win against Li was at the China Masters. With her win at the YSHKO, BP’s record against Li is 3-2 in her favor. SDK was not expected to prevail against KT (S3) but he did and in straight games; he will meet TS, his compatriot, in the SF. Whatever the outcome, Indonesia will be represented in the final and assured of at least a silver.
So pleased to see Sony reach the Semi-Final. But somehow I doubt that he has the "wheels" to keep up with a fit Tommy S. Maybe he can pull some deception out of his hat for the win!
Adcock/White are very good at moving Zhang around. Zhang is rarely in position to make a proper smash.
Justin is telling me how the English lost the war again George Washington. i wish he do so well with his test.
good to hear that GC criticizing her countryman/woman for not going up to shake their opponents' hands first before they celebrate with the coach.
Buranaprasertsuk that will take a while to remember. took me a long time to get Saralee Thoungthongkam and Sudket Prapakamol.
