    The odds are heavily favourable for Netherlands. Even if Judith loses, the other matches favour the Dutch. I think Judith is the Dutch hero for this tournament. Not forgetting de Wit also. She played a big part.

    something not so right with CHIEN's spirit. from the start, she seems quite down, compared to her opponent's upbeat nature. but maybe thats the way she plays.

    it will definitely take a miracle for TPE to win at this point.

    fans should be looking forward to a CHN vs. NED 2006 Uber Cup finals.

    Wowww....I think The Netherlands will go to the final.....Nederlands gaat naar de finale....:eek: :p :D ...

    Great achievement for them...imagine..only 4 players....but they go through final....hope at least tomorrow they can steal 1 point from China....to keep the match interesting....(if Netherlands can win this SF..well everything still can happen)...

    So..Go Mia....Go Judith...Go Karina...Go Ginny.....

    But Taiwan still have a chance..though it becomes lower now...but they have also great achievement....

    If TPE can win this single, it might change the tide. Don't write off yet.

    Pai of TPE is now playing against Karina of NED.

    Pai seems to be a solid player. still not able to see how fast she can go. but she managed to reach most of Karina's returns, and making very few mistakes. Karina on the other hand, is more prone to unforced errors.

    from the first 10 points, i think Pai will take this point from Karina. unless if Karina can speed up the game and take advantage of her height to neutralize Pai's consistency and accuracy.

    Is de Witt the tallest current female player? the commentator said she is 1.80m tall.
