Re: lee vs. gade Yes,I think the Koreans are too tired! Otherwise,LEE Tsuen Seng could not defeat LEE Hyun II so easily! The Koreans have attended too much matches.
But now Chen Yu is also good form,Park 's goold luck should be over! I don't think someone can defeat three chinese ms playsers continuously.
Candra & Halim seem to be too strong for Thomas Laybourn and Peter Steffensen... 15-5 for indos in the first set, and leading 11-2 in the second!
I think ZHANG Jun/Chen Qiqiu could hardly reach the quarter .Today the could lost in the second round.
CAI Yun/FU Haifeng vs CAN Teik Chai/KOO Kien Keat. I think is a hard match for both.Now is 15-15 in the first game.
Thomas/Peter lost big to Candra/Halim... 15-5, 15-7... That means Thomas is out of this year's Danish Open. Too bad!
Another early exit for Hafiz. Seems like a free fall for the once "future hope". If he stays this way, I will be very surprised that he can make it to Olympics.
Re: Xia lost I think Koreans have the most similar style as the chinese. Xia used 3 sets to beat a qualified round player, which was surely not a good sign. I think Xia's playing style and tight schedules in recent 2 months, will really hurt his chance to go deep. Look how sharp he was in WC. Maybe the injury could be the factor, too.
Sigit and Trikus are leading 11-6 in the third set against Yim and Kim The new indo pairs seem to be stronger than during the asian GP this summer...
Hian/Limpele are in deep trouble against Danes Lamp/Boe... 15-9 to the Danes in the first set, now 13-13...
