Hendrawan vs. Chen Hong.

I doubt Zhang/Gao need any rest. I don't think Yuli can fight off Gong anyway. They won't even need to play... If so, i think Bambang/Minarti will be able to take them out...... hopefully

 

Well, never underestimate the Olympic Champions

 

Besides Olympic champ, Zhang/Gao also won the most prestige open tournament, All England. Why everyone here treat them as the underdog?

BTW, they also have the longest winning streak among active mixed doubles.

 

I was only being hopeful that should Yuli beat Gong which is impossible now, that Bambang/Minarti would be able to beat Zhang/Gao......

Anyhow, all the credit to China for taking the Sudirman Cup again for the 4th consecutive year.

But what goes must come home. Indonesia will bring the Sudirman Cup home 1 day

 

Quotable quotes:

1) Darren Hall,after hendrawan serving for third set-" the longer

the game goes on the better for Hendrawan". Talk about out of

touch!

2) Zhao Jian Hua- Chen hong still limited in his skills and slow

to adapt, his only strength is that he is young"

 

Congratulations China! Amidst all the disappointment, sorrow, depression etc., I take comfort in the fact that my head is still safe, even though I really wouldn't have minded serving it to Ricky on a silver platter. =)

After today's match, my respect for Hendrawan has gone up by another thousand times. Kudos to Chen Hong too for playing a really good game.

 

It's like a radio sport broadcast, many listeners (reader) but they don't call the radio station to tell them they are listening, unless you offering some prize.

 

Try choping her into tiny pieces and put in the blander. Haha !!!
