Xia came back from a game down to beat Park Sung Hwan Gade, Taufik, Ng Wei, M Roslin Hashim all through safely. Irwansyah, the Indonesian who plays for Wales raced into a 5-0 lead against Lin Dan and now leads 9-5
Marleve Mainaky is thrashing Jang Young Soo at the moment... and Shon Seung Mo is in difficulty, losing 9-3 to norwegian Jim Ronny Andersen in the 1st set...
Lin Dan eventually took the first set 15-11 Shon Seung Mo is losing 14-8... now I'm going back to work!
Seung Mo leads 6-4 in the second, it would be a massive upset if he lost, especially considering how well he played at Birmingham in WC. Interesting all Chinese match between Wu Yunyong and Chen Yu, future Chinese leading players anyone? Currently 8-7, hopefully it will be a competitive match, i.e. no injuries lol
Seung Mo took second 15-5, Chen Yu raced through to win 15-9 15-3. WC Hann is up soon, if it stays as it is and he wins then all 16 seeds will be through
Chen is 4-3 up in the third, even if he pulls it off theres another round today and this long match will hit his chances.
What a surprise if Palayama can win... It seems almost as if something must be wrong with Chen Hong.. Some kind of injury or something...
What a surprise!! Chen Hong is really struggling.. currently leading 13-11 in rubber, but Palyama holding the service.
what a game!!!! chen hong struggled thru winning the 3rd game 15-11.. hopefully he cd perform better in the coming rounds...

Yes like Xia , Chen had a long three ender and they both play this evening. Kim / Ra are 9-0 up against the Germans, their ability to win so many points in a row is incredible, even against other "top" pairs they regularly seem to win more than 6 rallies in a row, this ability to concentrate for long spells and open up a winning lead quickly is what makes them so awesome.
Wong CH trailed 4-8 before coming back to lead 11-9 in the first game now. His Ukrainian opponent is best remembered for shocking Ong EH in the 1st round of WC 5 years ago.
SO Klaphat how much coverage does AE get in Denmark, is it on TV news etc from the early rounds? At least they've got live scoring this year.
