Brazil Open 2012 - ITTF World Tour

[Michal_Z]

Yes, the most deciding match will probably be Ryu vs. Oh in the semifinals..
If they both reach them.
If Ryu wins, he will most likely beat Joo in the final.
BUT if Oh wins, I dont think he can beat Joo,.. but you never know

Anyways, I voted for Ryu

Honestly, OSE, JSH, and RSM all stand a good chance of winning, but I think that Marcos Freitas can pull an upset if he has a good tournament and can keep his head on. It also depends on who meets who when. If OSE meets RSM before the final, I feel JSH might win. If RSM meets JSH before the final, OSE might win. But we'll see because anything can happen in this sport.

Thanks Steven, so the semi finals begin at 16.45 GMT?

 

[TTTT]

Thanks Steven, so the semi finals begin at 16.45 GMT?

Yes, i.e. 17:45 British Summer Time. After the women's semis, which start at 12:15 local (15:15 GMT).

Lebesson had already beaten Ryu in last year's Spanish Open.

[Open BRASIL 2012] RYU Seungmin KOR vs LEBESSON Emmanuel FRA :

 

[Giangt]

Yay my vote won

 

[Michal_Z]

Yeah, who would expect that??
Oh Sang Eun beat Joo .. but he deserved it, hell he did!!

 

[TTTT]

If it comes to all-Korean matches, Oh will beat Ryu and Joo because he can still pass Ovtcharov in the world ranking, which would be important for team seeding at the Olympics.

Told you... Korean team strategy worked. And Kim Kyung Ah won too!

 

[strangeloop]

Harmeet Desai won the under-21 Men's.. A bright spot for India! Let's see if he does better than Sharath Kamal as a pro.

Oh Sang Eun beat Joo .. but he deserved it, hell he did!!

I am watching the match right now, Oh Sang Eun just on fire lately. The placement, control, top spin variation put by him just way too much for Joo's corrent condition. Right now I just wonder what is the match up statistic for both of them, since Ryu, Oh and Joo seems like they seldom against each other in most of international event due to the China dominance.
