live score shows Boosak Ponsana 2 Chen Jin 5

 

now 3-5Chen Jin

 

Any idea how Chen Hong v Yeoh KB went?

 

Yes, thw woman's game is pretty much predictable except for the occasional lower seed upset. The XD–what can you say? The organizers got the seedings perfect.

 

This should be an interesting match! Both young and fast.
Chen Jin may have more power and Boonsak more fine touch.

 

Choonhann lost again! He is really too old to play with Young people leh...

 

i no my friend watching inside the arena and he said lin dan won 15-4,15-7

 

CJ 13-12 Boonsak

 

any other result?

 

Chen Jin takes the first set 17-14.

 

CJ took the first 17:14 according to 24/7.

 

So far, my predictions for MS and WS were spot on. Lin Dan, Chen Hong, Lee Hyun Il, and Shoji Sato all won and progressed to the quarter-final.

 

Cj 17-14 Boonsak

Not that they are too old for a good defence but their jump smash are not as strong as 5 years ago. So they can't produce score easily by smashing their opponent like they used to do.

 

Both are in heir 30 or 31 this year.
