    The Korean are crazy!
    LEE,Yong-Dae/HA,Jung-Eun beat ROBERTSON,Nathan/EMMS,Gail in the first round of MXD. 15-12/15-11.
    I think the British pair would regret their decision to Korea.

    nay, regreting would not be professionally appropriate for a pair of professional players. maybe they'd use this early defeat as a good time for reflections and technique brush-ups; in preparations for bigger tournaments ahead. :)

    I think Robertson/Emms are a fading force. After the Olympics, the drive does not seem to te there. But this is not taking anything away from the Koreans. I'm sure they must play out of their skins to gain this scalp.

    Isn't korea open a 6 star tourney already?? Not many competitions are ranked higher than 6 stars are they.

    Mmm. Just wondering, do korean athletes use ginseng as part of their daily supplement?? lol. It was a question which many asked during the 2002 world cup where south korea reached the semis.

    I'm not impressed by Boesen's performance since.. well.. at lest since last summer.. I wonder if he will ever be a contester like he used to be.. still.. he always fights.. so it is an impressive win.. congratulations to Ahn Hyun Suk !!!

    The Chinese armada stayed home and the Danish defense is still going strong in the tournament.

    I haven't seen so many seeds in the MS going through for quite a while.
