What a phenomenal for a TH appearance to get direct attention and continuing match-report like this although he is just unseeded player plus it's very beginning round!
So much for the upset of the day! :crying: :crying: :crying: Anyway, congrats to TH! He is really too powerful for NW. But, there will be next time.
Heard the male commentator (some chinese national coach or something) mentioned during TH and NW's match that the chinese regards TH as their top threat in MS. Apparently they have some high regard/respect for his talents. Several time in the match commentary, TH was referred to as the "tian cai qui yuan" (genius/gifted player).
Bao CL advanced with a 2-1 win, Wang Lin made it too.. Zheng Bo/Guo ZD lost to Gan Teik Chai/Abdul Latif 1-2
That's good news for Gan and Latif's followers in Malaysia.By the way is Zheng Bo, the huge towering giant.What is Zheng Bo and Guo ZD's ranking in China?
Guo ZD regular partner is Xie Zhongbo. If I am not wrong, Zheng Bo replaced Xie after his injury couple of months ago. Not too sure whether this partnership is permanent but more likely to be a trial. Guo was partnered with Xu Chen while Zheng with Xie in Japan Open... With Guo/Zheng demised and the withdrawal of He Hanbin/Shen Ye due to injury, MD is still Chn's weakest link... my 2cts..
It's their weakest link even though Fu/Cai are World #1's and recently crowned World Champions. Even their weakest link will look good on any other nation's cards.
2morrow chen jin vs taufik .... i think chen jin will lose this time ...taufik should meet lindan in final ....
