    Yes, luckily for you. Sorry, wrong tip but worth a try.
    Ashton probably ran out of steam. Burned up too much energy in G2 so had to play catch up in G3.
    This is a case of experience over youth. Let's see if AB can do it with CL.

    TH did not play badly.The score reflected that.It took TH one game to figure CL out. The next 2 games were close. It's the 'I know all about you,haha and you don't know about me yet,hehe,' challenger advantage that's so common in NSS upsets. The test is whether CL repeats his feat. But it's good to see CL win. At least there's hope for CHN to produce a champion who can win on his own,without teammate help.

    hmm looks like i was right :)
    even though taufik has played longer than chen long, what advantage does that give him? i dont get it... because each badminton player has there own style, and furthermore badminton tatics and strategies are always evolving...so i dont see how experience would give the upper hand in this situation...

    Suffice to say..

    ..experience without any type of extensive training will produce nothing..

    Nothing to do with Taufik, but I know experience counts for something at least when old guys who can hardly move have me scrambling all over the court :D.

    And Maria Sharapova after her loss to Gisela Dulko. The centre court crowd must have supported Dulko in the hope that Wimbledon will be shriek-free after R2 and their efforts paid off!

    They applauded his victory. He won't get the LD treatment because CL showed good manners on court. Actually the crowd's quite excited about CL.
