F**king disappointment seeing the XD match go the Danes' way.....the Koreans really deserved it. While I don't mind Fischer off court, on court he's pretty annoying (Come on. Get ready for ONE serve in under 20 seconds!), Pedersen I don't like on or off (Very arrogant in all interviews I saw of her.).
You've echoed my impression of them. I don't know anything about how they're like off court, but Pedersen looks nothing but uppity on court, and Fischer gets so worked up and caveman-like about everything that I just want to give him a smack. Gill is apparently enthralled by that aspect of him, but to me it's just intensely annoying.
What are the reasons for the walkover? Anyone know?
The Chinese are at it again with regards to withdrawals/match-fixing:
LXR (S1) to WSX (S7)
WXL/YY (S1) to BYX/TJH (U)
and their players will be as fresh as apples in their next round encounter.
KKK/TBH (S4) gave another dismal performance against the new unseeded Korean pair of LYD/YYS and it's high time the BAM do something about the pairing and that is split them. Why bet on perennial losers?
The new Chinese pairings of FHF/HW and CY/CB finally met their match and lost in straight games to their Danish and Japanese opponents respectively. They will no doubt improve and be a force to reckon with.
All the Indian players bowed out in the QF and Saina Nehwal (S4) was upset by Sung Ji Hyun (S6).
IIRC, last time you bet that Hendra/Ahsan would trounce the relatively new CBA MD pairing in a certain set of time. You lost that one. Luckily, no one remembered that bet of yours (save perhaps meWhy in the world LXR gave in for WSX? WSX is just a so so player. I bet Sung Ji Hyun will beat her in straight set.
Zero Korea in MS/WD/XD -> uh, LYD is Korea?Zero China in MD - all the repartnering seems not working!
Zero Japan in MS/WS/XD - PJB achillis heel!
Zero Thailand in MD/WD/XD - Thailand strong only in Singles!
Zero Malaysia in WS/MD/WD/XD - LCW is Malaysia!
Zero Indonesia in MS/WS/WD - RM has a lot of work to do!
Zero India everywhere - dissapointing if based on population of 1.4 billion!
Zero Denmark in MS/WS - dissapointing as in home country!
the most disappointing player in QF is.... KKK/TBH...!!
Zero Korea in MS/WD/XD -> uh, LYD is Korea?
Good to see RI progressing to next round. Eriko seemed to have given so much trouble to RI . Hope she progresses to final and wins the title.
WTH !!!
Walkovers again...!!! This time, given by the No.1 seeds. BWF has become mute spectator ?? !!!!
