Chen Yu giving Misbun some free badminton lesson!!! The encounter could have been much more explosive if the one playing is Lee CW!
History Zhao did not win Msia Open in 1984, he and Yang Yang, Li Yong Bo , Tian Bing Yi represented China in singles in msia Open in 1983 but they were well beaten.1983 Msia Open was Liem Swie King, Repeat in 1984 msia but champion Icuk Sugiarto.Zhao won Msia Open in 1986, beating Misbun Sidek, Zhao looked like he was just released from a Nazi concentration camp.I don't think Zhao won swedish open 1985. Zhao missed the 1985 World championships in Calgary which was eventually won by Han Jian.
Given good form of Lee CW, I am still wondering why he could lost to Roslin, does anyone know? Especially who watched the match, what was going on? Lee CW fall into sleep? Chen Yu leads 6:1, and Gong RN is having some trouble ...2:7
Camilla is looking OK in the 2. set. I didn't see the 1. set (lunch). 7-2 too Camilla. She have just got 3 easy points
??? How can this happen? Misbun forced Lee CW to lose? or gave him wrong advice?(I think internal match, coach does not previde advice usually) 11:4 to Chen Yu. He is half in the final.
Misbun was the personal coach for the Hashim brothers before they were invited back to join the national body!
Roslin must be running all over desperately to save the match!!! Has been on court for more than 35 min!!
And womens doubles will be another All-Chinese final. This event should be renamed All-Chinese Open . Ron
Longets thread??? Hi Everyone!! Is this not the longest thread ever?? I´m watching out for Candra and Halim. They are leading 9-2 in the first game against Thailand!! JR
Yeah, I know they are all from Nusa-whatever club. But that alone, looks not very convincing for making Lee CW lost.
First set to Indonesia!! They won the first set 15-5! Just like against us and Nathan/Anthony. I think second set will be 15/8!! JR
Joel, put it this way. Let's say you are coaching both your son and your neighbour's kid. Both of them are playing in Olympics final for the gold. Whom will you be rooting for (or giving "killer" tips or whatsoever)?
(INA)HARYANTO Halim/WIJAYA Candra bt (THA)NGERNSRISUK Patapol/PRAPAKAMOL Sudket 15-5, 15-3 in 39 mins!! I must praise JR's sportmanship here, looking out for candra/halim who defeated him earlier on. The other semi ha/kim v lee/yoo, I expect ha/kim to win, and lose to candra/halim tomorrow!
Amazing form!! Candra and Halim are really on a roll here!! 15-5 15-3!!!! I think they have a good chance tomorrow against either two korean pairs!! Probably Ha and Kim, but Kim might be a little tired because of the mixed!! JR
