All-England QFinals Day

[CanuckBur]

Are you sure? I thought the play is still on...

You are right. I just came back from a badminton game so my head is still spinning.

 

[whizkelv]

Arggh... CanuckBur was right.
The Chinese won 17-15 in the 1st set.

 

[mtakako]

indeed , chinese pair wins 17-15 for set1

 

[kwun]

JR/LP with a 5-2 lead against Sang/Zheng in the 3rd game!

Hahahahaha.................

 

[CanuckBur]

Hahahahaha.................

My prediction, sort of, came true. 17-15 . I am quite surprise that the Malaysian pair didn't win the 1st match.

 

[hcyong]

At this rate, we won't see a Olympic final re-match. I think Robertson/Emms will be big favourites if ZJ/GL can't crawl back.

True, they held match point at 14-9 but somehow slack from there on

yeah. it will be a major upset by the Thai if they beat Zhang/Gao.

mmm...well i guess the motivation to train may not be there anymore? anyways, i'm just hoping that ZJ is working on his smashing (and hopefully placement) and will peak at the WC anaheim

also audina - mori should be interesting....wonder is mori has enough in the tank to go 3 sets?

JR/LP with a 5-2 lead against Sang/Zheng in the 3rd game!

JR leads 8-5 in the decider.

too many close matches going on...

yeah. they have won the biggest one twice, but never won the second biggest one. that is what will keep them motivated if anything.

keep in mind that Gao Ling did play 60mins in the WD.

but then so did Saralee. the Thais are greatly improving lately. Saralee/Sathinee are already in the semi.

 

[kwun]

attention should go to the Sang/Zheng/JR/LP match. very close with JR/LP leading 11-8 right now.

 

[ants]

The msian ladies are the last hope .. it seems they did better than the mens..

I think this is also the first time that South East Asians are having so many world class WD pairs. This year's SEA Games for badminton is gonna be a star-studded field.

10-12 now. the Chinese has service still. i think.

True only for doubles event.
We still have 2 gentlemen in MS semis.

 

[CanuckBur]

Zhang/Gao need to do something! Anything! They are loosing, 7-11, (my partner and I had this number this afternoon, but we won at the end.)

 

[whizkelv]

Looks like the Chinese ladies will be winning.
9-4 for Wei/Zhao in 2nd set

MD 13:13 GO Sang/Zheng!
