R1: Jie Zheng d. (11) Agnes Szavay 46 63 75

Jie led 4-2 in the third before brainfarting and going down 4-5 :o

YES!!!!! :woohoo:

Congrats Jie :D

The pressure must have gotten to her in the 3rd set....

Better up the tempo in the net round, Jie :)

Go Jie :worship: It probably should have been in straight sets though. She choked a few times. :unsure:

Zheng. :bigclap::worship::woohoo:

It may not have been pretty but you got through it. :hug::smooch:

Yay.

:bowdown:

expected. Szavay is useless.

Jie did a great job! I love the way the Chinese crowd cheers for their players. All the "Oohs" and "Aahs" :lol:

What a great match. Obviously lots of tension with the Chinese crowd trying to get Jie across the line.

A shame about those horrible line calls though, I felt that Agnes was really cheated.

jie :worship:

Jie!!!very impressive though a little bit choke in the 1st set
Now good luck in doubles and 2nd round!!
We love U!!!!

Congratulations Jie! :D

Nice showing before the "supportive" Chinese crowd. ;)

Go for the medals. :yeah:

:woohoo:

FUCK YES JIE-Z!!!!!

Who's next? :devil:

expected. Szavay is useless.

She pushes the ball at times, but she did very well up at the net when she had the chance tonight.

this was epic, they look on the edge in the last set, they were so so tired but both of them were fighting so hard....

GO ZHENG JIE! :D
now go get that gold! :angel:

AGIIII :sad::(:(

jie =D

agnes :lol: i dont know what that hype was about before :lol:

:(

:hearts:

Well done Jie

Szavay is definitly a very bad player :D

Great job girls :worship: :hearts:

Well done Jie

:bounce:

Szavay is definitly a very bad player :D

Agnes is not that bad. She just tries to copy Vaidisova´s form. Both are very "out of shape" this year.

nice win!
though couldnt watch her closing the match..
her game is really tough for other players when it's on..

A good win for Jie :D!

Poor Szavay, that really was a tough 1st round draw:sad:!

Congrats Jie. I expected such result though.Well done Jie

Szavay is definitly a very bad player :DNowhere near as bad as 80% of the players in your signature. :)

Jie :D :worship:

Go on, Jie!

Agnes :o

Phew! I expected her to win in 2, but well done, Jie. :hearts:

Jie :banana: Finally.:D
Agi :rolleyes: :o

Jie :banana:

Aga :crying2:

Jie:woohoo::banana:

Jie! Mentally the toughest out of the Chinese girls, and she showed it again today. Amazing. Hope she doesn't get too tired before her next matches! Keep going, amazing :banana:

Agi was useless and sometimes lucky. anyway, good fight, but Zheng was too strong.

Jie :banana: :D

Well done lil Jie!! :bounce:

Agnes:sad::sad: Good match although after Stockholm I though it would be worse...

Congrats, Jie:)

Go Jie GOOOOOOO!!

Expected. I'm just glad it went 3 sets. Good win for Jie. Hopefully Agnes can go to New Haven and defend her points now :shrug:

Jie :hug: Sleep well.Really No Pressure,Ignore the Crowd

Well done JIE

Such a tight match...I never expected Jie played so hard.
Szavay also made a good job.But she always ran near the net at wrong time..

Poor Agi. When will she find form?
New Haven? :tape:

Agi :hug: you'll destroy her next time ;):)

Poor Agi. When will she find form?
New Haven? :tape:

Rather New Year. At least I hope so.

Rather New Year. At least I hope so.

Probably. I hope so as well.
She's too good for these kinds of losses.

It wont be easy for her unfortunately.
I am shocked to see how much her own fans in Hungary hate her in case she doesnt win (even if she plays good but looses to a better opponent).
I was following the Nemzeti Sport discussions today - unbelievable. Queen of the Country last year (when the results were good) seems to be most hated person today. :o
Hope she is strong enough.

Jieeee :D

Great win! I think the best match she played at Wimbledon was against Szavay so I was hoping she'd be able to earn win #2. Sounds like it was a very tough match, so it's great that she came through. Beating a top 20 player in a tough match is a good way to try and avoid a post-dream run slump :lol:

Good luck in the next round :yeah:

Agnes :hug: What happened to 2007 form?

It wont be easy for her unfortunately.

Nemzeti Sport Online is the most disgusting place. they are not fans, just dumb trolls. most of them knows nothing about tennis or other sports (exept soccer :tape:).

(the true fans: http://forum.szavay-blog.com/index.php )

Awesome fight from Jie. :worship:
Well done and keep on going! :D
Agi. :awww: :hug:

As expected
Agnes :hug: I hope she can find her form soon

Agnes find form soon babe :)

Ági :hug: and :smash:

Jie !! :)

Jie did a great job! I love the way the Chinese crowd cheers for their players. All the "Oohs" and "Aahs" :lol:

tht cuz they do tht ALL the time in badminton !!!

zheng :bowdown:

Jie :woohoo:

But please don‘t choke alot ;)

Looks like there's quite a number of Jie fans in this Board now :)

little jie :rocker2:

:yeah:

Agnes, regain your 2007 US Open form!

Flea! Great Job!! :kiss:
Who is next?

Flea! Great Job!! :kiss:
Who is next?

Oh Agi. What a year. :sad:

If Agi has to lose so early again, may as well be to sweet Jie. How did she get the nickanme "Flea"? :lol: It's cute.

I hope Agi gets to the US pronto and adjusts to the time change for New Haven. Boy, does she have some work to do through the end of the year. :tape:

During Wimbledon when Jie was doing so well, there was a thread to give her a nickname. Others (which I won't mention becasue I don't favor them :p ) were proposed, but Flea was my favorite and I'm trying to help it catch on, ha ha.

Flea - rhymes with her name (in it's english pronunciation). :cool:
Flea - great image of the way she can hop and run around and cover her side of the court. :cool:

Jie. :yeah:
