    I think the other 2 MS must be quite hard fought, as Hafiz and Kenneth managed to wrap up theirs fairly quickly.

    or KJ + Hafiz just started before them.


    On paper though Roslin v Boonsak looks a long one, and Xia seem to take a long time to play his games when playing good players.

    I think you are right, the website's time could be wrong.

    Xia is not the Xia we knew that won the 2003 WC, I think he is on his way out.

    As for Roslin, he just drags anyone around until they fall over.... I still remember poor Peter from AE

    The results I posted earlier were all posted at the same time, it isn't real time scoring. :mad:

    Beware a wounded or dying animal, they cant strike at any time. I doubt he can have enough energy to strike 6/7 times to win WC again, but he will prove to be a great if he does.

    ROFL! :D So true. Nothingnew though, you know you are in for a tough game everytime. His games against KJ/Chen Hong/Gade are all classic matches against KJ in AE20?? I remember the first rally last about 30 strokes!!

    Hehe :D

    I think the SF are quite difficult to predict... OK KJ and Hafiz are logically the favourites, but beware Boonsak on home ground! Ronald could also be on fire after beating Xia...
    The answer tomorrow... ;)

    You were wrong. Ha Tae Kwon/Han Sang Hoon lost to Gan Teik Chai/Zakry followed by Choong/Chew who defeated Bach/Gunawan.

    You are wrong this time.
    Gan/Zakry shocked Ha Tae Kwon/Han SH in straight games.
    Veterans Choong/Chew also qualified for semis :)

    yea.. look at xxz... he is getting worst everytime he play...
    Not sure have you guys noticed, all of his recent matches..
    they were mostly early exits.... and struggled against many unseeded players

    I bet he will be out of the team soon

    I dont think so. Chen Jin, his nearest rival has fallen at much the same stage, and Chen Yu is the same. Gong Weijie has gone out even earlier. He may not get picked for WC, but he wont be out of the team until next season.
