wah, brother hau, are you mates with all the players? i have to meet up with you at a badminton event some day, then you can introduce me to your baddy buddies.
Precisely...unbelieavable set of results....considering that Sho Sasaki lost to Park Sung Hwan in the Thomas Cup qualifiers barely 2 mths ago. Since then, Park lost all 3 encounters to the Japanese player
Sho Sasaki have been defeating PSH every time they met...since German Open.............impressive show by the japanese
WD result: Endang/Rani def Akao/Matsuda Kamila/Nadiezda def Chau/Koon Lita/nitya def Chou/Yang ( this one, I need another confirmation)
Hmmm....first time in ages that Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti are able to beat a Japanese pair! They are most likely to beat their opponent tomorrow Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei to book a place in the last 4! A good week in Hyderabad for them and a morale booster for their Olympics hopes. They have lost: 4 times to Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota the past 2 years (3+1) 2 times to Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda last year They must be sick of those Nippon gals As for Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda, a timely progress as well, with their best performance so far in a QF placing for a GP Gold event. A victory probably against Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda tomorrow will be a bonus
So far: Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii (facing the top seed He Hanbin/Yu Yang tomorrow) Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti (facing Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei tomorrow) Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda (not confirmed according to Hau-Ge).
Confirmed: Endang/Rani def Akao/Matsuda in 3 sets Kamila/Nadiezda def Chau/Koon Lita/nitya def Chou/Yang in 3 sets
Great!! Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki have progressed to the QF! They will face Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo tomorrow. It will mark a real progress if they can beat the Chinese team's 2nd MD pair.
ok, we won the first one, so you owe me one already, let's make that AE2009. if we win this next one, i'll pick the WC2009!
