I do not think so, even if Gade win the first game! China still get a chance to get one point from the double!
Chances are there for both parties. It's just that China looks stronger and more consistent in their singles.
Agree. I think Fu/Cai have to play a bit more cleverly in the Finals. Never seen Sang/Zheng play though. Anyway, the Dan guys are much older, and much more tired than the Chinese players. China must be thinking how to exploit this point now.
Well the head to heads for the doubles are 2-2 for Sang Yang/Zheng Bo vs Eriksen/Luunngard, but the last victory was for the danes, easily in the qf of the AE. for JR/lars vs cai/fu it is 1-0 in favour of JR. that was in the japan open 2003. In the other crucial match Bao hasnt played Jonassen in the past year.
Yup game is over so I can now get in the RTM site. That figures. I was in the RTM site but on TV1. When no baddy showed up, I tried TV2 and could no longer get in. I went back to nappy, got up again, had lunch with a friend, went to office and now trying to get to watch baddy. I can now get into RTM after the game is over. The resolution is real bad. Don't want to accidentally click on adult site given I am in my office. I will have to get in early for the finals. Ron
yeah very late for us here.. good thing tomorrow is saturday! But i worry about sundays match. may not be able to wake up monday morning if the match finish so late.
omg.. 43 pages??? kudos to the danes, they played well tonight... i m a rather disappointed indo didnt mk it to the final... ws watching the commentary in TVRI (indo tv), the host and guest commentator, Hariyanto Arbi (95 world champ, 93/94 AE champ), questioned the logic of the inclusion of the scratch pair, trikus and candra instead of their own regular partners (trikus with sigit budiarto or candra with halim).. evn with the lack of rapport, the pair of candra and sigit (who played well in the indo thomas cup simulation) is a better option... the fact is, the doubles has always been the strong discipline for the indo bt now, the weakest link (without securing a point from 2 ties).. hariyanto commented the lack of exposure for the youngsters and too much reliance on the senior players, hence there's a vaccum during the regeneration of the team... anyway, it's all over nw for indo... looking forward to the exciting chn-den final...
Wow! Well done Denmark I really didn't think PR culd beat Simon. Finally INA beaten in TC and at home too! Man I should have put in for leave on Monday, looks like another sleepless night, argh
i am planning my weekend around the TC/UC. but unfortunately, will also be very busy at work. so planning to wake up at 5am. watch TC/UC. then skip all weekend activities like meeting friends (skipping a BBQ) so that i can be diligent during the day, then go to sleep early to wake up again for the next 5am morning match. looking very much forward to the eventful weekend...
Yes, I think China really prefer to play Denmark than INA. Sony/Taufik is much tougher to beat than the 3 aging Danish single players. And both doubles are 50/50. Denmark really paved the road for China for win the first TC in 10 years.
Yeah I was supposed to go a watch a movie with friends last night (Friday night for us) but I kind of bailed I don't think I'm watching tonight, no Ra means no contest, see you guys Sunday night (Oz and INA time).
