    Anyone watching this.
    Brilliant match between Hidayat and Gade.
    I was shout for Hidayat. I think he would have threatened the other big boys more than Gade. Could be proved wrong of course.
    Some match tomorrow now between Gade and Lee Chong Wei especially now Lin Dan and Jin Chen are knnocked out.
    Was over there the last two years, couldn't make it this year, well worth a visit and a handy trip.

    Just got back from it! Brilliant. All 5 finals were great matches.

    Met Jonas Rasmussen after the mens final. Sound Bloke.

    The Mens Doubles looked unreal. I'd say the tension in the arena was brilliant, especially with the Danish fans.

    Unfortunately there was no atmosphere in the arena for the mens final. About 3 quarters of the crowd had left and the big Danish crowd didn't know who to cheer for. People were even shouting at the players to hurry up!

    Its a pity, because it was a brilliant game, real edge of the seats stuff throughout.

    While it was great to see 2 Danish pairs in the final (from a European point of view) it does nothing for the atmosphere when both teams are from the 1 country. It was the same in the womens doubles as both semi finals and the final were all China affairs.

    I was looking at the draws in the Swiss open last night. China's dominance seems to be slipping?

    Aren't you guys watching the livestreams? Dunno what the hell happened to Lin Dan... I saw him lose to BCL at the AE and he looked like he couldn't care less, then today against Gade he was swaggering around like he'd won the game already ... and then lost.

    Baza, where do you watch the streams, wob.tv ?
    Often thought about getting this myself but heard mixed reports on Bad Central about how good it is.

    ustream.tv - search for Swiss Open
    also bet365.com have streaming of the TV court after a free sign-up.

    I've never bothered with WoB because they don't take Paypal...
