LEE Chong Wei is not so bad.I think he can easily beat Boonsak.It's must be Boonsak who will go home tomorrow.Also HIDAYAT Taufik can beat SUSILO Ronald .And LEE Chong Wei will play with HIDAYAT Taufik in semi-final.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE HIDAYAT Taufik PLAYING FINAL AGAINST LIN DAN,BUT I WISH PETER GADE REACHES IN TO THE FINALS,ITS BEEN A LONG TIME HE HAS NOT WON ANY MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
I almost fainted!! Boonsak!!!OMG!!P'Man su su na kha phayayaam!! Hopefully Ronald and Boonsak go thru tomorrow! *I'll pray*
So do Tony Gunawan & Candra Wijiya after beating the former World Champions Lars Paaske & Jonas Rasmussen 21-15 21-6 in just 25 minutes! Too bad Howard Bach and his partner, MALAYTHONG Khan Bob, cannot join them tomorrow in the quarter-finals!
wow, so many penangite here... Lee Chong Wei also from Bukit Berapit, Penang. He was my friend classmate. My friend said he don't have any friends in secondary school last time because he was a weirdo but he is very active in sports where he was also a representative of the basketball team in Bukit Berapit High School.
Thanks for telling us. But i think it will be more appropriate to post this in the professional thread so that we don't have to link here and there to find everything about them right ?
Penang is a place that producing a world class player. Other than Lee Chong Wei, the retired malaysian single Ong Yew Hock from Penang too. Besides, women world no.1 squash player, Nichol David also a penangite. I was wondering why such a place keep producing world class player? Is it because of the environment there or else?
Oh, sorry about that man coz I'm new here. I'll post in the new link next time. Thanks for your reminder.

It is because the Penangnites take their sport seriously and enjoy sport --- the schools are very supportive of sport.
Mohd Rizal/Gresya Polii lost in 3 sets...quite a respectable result...considering they are up against the 2 times Olympic gold medallist. Now, its Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir against Zheng Bo/Yu Yang (tough match as always against any Chinese pair, esp featuring Zheng Bo) and Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa against Zhang Jun/Gao Ling. Once again, they stand a chance, after a straight-set victory over the WC silver-medallist. Flandy/Vita should be a good backup pair for both the Asian Games in Doha and the Sudirman Cup in Glasgow next year.
