wow, have you seen the mixed doubles result? Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms beat the mighty Kim Dong Moon and Lee Kyung Won. Talking of which, how come Ra isn't around the last few tournaments? Have I missed something or are Korea trying to bring up another mixed doubles player?
Yeah, lots of upset in the tourney. In WD, non of the top four seeded teams made it through. Only US teams left are Tony G/Bob M in the MD and Tony G/Etty T in XD. The rest are gone. HK still has in the MD with a walk/over.
HKG have a fair chance with their draw. Johan gets really hard draws. He had Chen Hong in China Open! NO wonder he stuck in his ranking!
Looks like Robertson/Emms are on a roll, they haven't drop a game yet and are now in the finals of the XD facing Chen/Zhao. Robertson/Emms might be able to pull it off although Chen/Zhao are formiable opponents. The remaining US teams of Tony G/Bob M and Tony/Etty both lost in their respective events.
The biggest upset of today was Fu Haifeng/ Cai Yun beating thai gold contenders Pramote/Tesana!!! And in two straight sets too! But they are against Ha/Yoo next so it will be a very tough semi-finals for them. This young Chinese has really come a long way lately, and China has been sending them to a lot of tourneys. Perhaps CBA see potential in them to be the top MD team in the future??
