Re: LD Qualifications How old is Anastasia Russikh of RUS? I have thought she has retired two years ago.
If it is the same Anastasia Russikh, I remember her playing two years ago in the European Junior Championships Therefore she should be now around 20. regards dzgdz
Wong Choong Hann is in trouble against young Dane Kasper Oedum... 4-3 in the third set for Choong Hann...
Lee Tsuen Seng might also have extra motivation since his shock defeat against Simon Santoso in Malaysian Open!! Wants to prove he's still up to it!
Lee Tsuen Seng outwitted Lee Hyun Il in the battle of the Lees' 15-8, 15-2 Lee Hyun Il gives away the match rather tamely much unlike the koreans though.
A few "important" results... Korean qualifier Jang Yong Soo won against Anders Boesen in straight sets (15-9 15-9) Chen Yu thrashed Pullela Gopichand 15-3 15-2 Xia Xuanze needed three sets to get rid of danish qualifier Michael Christensen!!
tsuen seng Yes, I was told that Lee Hyung Ill lost the match rather than that Lee Tsuen Seng won. We'll see how Tsuen Seng continues. In the next round he should be able to beat Vazconcelos, but then Peter Gade awaits him in front of a home crowd...
