Oh,Most of Chinese young player must play from the qualification.

But I think the Chinese girls can catch the wd's title.

no latest result yet! but the tournament has already been on for a day!
poor website! no english!

i think Chen Jin will win the ms title this time
this world junior defending champion is call little Bao Chunlai in the chinese team.
he often beat the top chinese players in the inner games!

The website's in English but the spelling is atrocious. :)

Yes, this website is really poor!

Yesterday, it was only the qualifications, so let's hope it will get better with the main draw starting today...

for the english site, try http://www.ffba.org/open/en/ , though the translation is really awful! :mad:

I can't understand why they can't do better than this! :confused:

thank you very much. at least i could get an english site, but i am afraid that still now there is no results yet! even the qualification rounds!

Yes, I find this ridiculous that they can't put the results on their site... what's the point in creating a web site otherwise???

anyway, the only results I know about are those involving french players :

in MS, Olivier Fossy and Fabrice Bernabé qualified for the main draw.
same for Sébastien Vincent in MD with Vidre Wibowo.

no other french player qualified, and no other information... :(

I forgot Audrey Petit and Hélène Dijoux who qualified for the main draw by walk over!

anyway, these are mainly unknown players...

what about Gong Weijie from China? did he pass the q round?
he is my friend's friend:D :D
we all worried about him.

According to the first echos I've had, the Chinese did very well in the qualification rounds... but I have no detailed results...

M : main draw
Q : qualification draw
R : waiting list (R for replacement?)

but there have been many changes with quite a few withdrawals since this list was released (including Ronald Susilo).
the problem is that the list has not been updated on their web site!!

MS and WS : 2nd and 3rd round
Doubles : 2nd round

Tomorrow : quarters and semis

Yeoh Kay Bin being trashed 1-15, 4-15??? woww... pretty impressive thr Chen Jin..

chong ming and chew eng are in the quarter final
will be playing against VETTERS Arnd (GER) / WAHAB Franklin (GER) to book their place in the semi

as for the womens double
pei tty and eei hui will play against DIMOVA Diana (BUL) / IVANOVA Maya (BUL) for a place in the semi also...

spectra, this is only eighth of finals you are talking about, not quarter finals.

they don't seem to have updated any doubles results for the moment...

Chin Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty will probably be facing a VERY TOUGH quarter final against Du Jing and Yu Yang if they win today...

Not to worry. I think Chin and Wong should take the French Open title if they play to standard. I wonder why BAM did not send Mew Choo, it would be good for her to pick up some points here.

maybe they thought that three competitions back to back was too much, considering she had to play qualifications in both Swiss and All England Open...

don't forget Du Jing and Yu Yang reached the FINAL in recent Thailand Open...

I think this quarter final might well be the "hidden final" of the WD french open!

WD :
Augustyn/Kostiuczyk (POL) vs Overzier/Pitro (GER)
Feng/Pan (CHN) vs Ananina/Rusljakova (RUS)

Gan/Koo (MAS) vs Hopp/Tesche (GER)
Kindervarter/Siegemund (GER) vs Rojkjaer Jensen/Sorensen (DEN)

I pay my bets on DU/YU and Chen Jin.They can win WD and MS title.

it is nice that we could finally get information from the poor site.

it is a pity that Gong lost

it is great that my little Bao Chunlai--Chen Jin won and rush to the title!

The french organisers are not interested in posting the results at all. No results even on semi final day.

The result have been published. You should browse its french webpage not english webpage.

Oh no!!! Wong/Chin blew-off their Athens ticket!!:( :(

MD is still good though, Chan/Chew and Gan/Khoo are in the semis.

Yeah, it's Malaysia vs Denmark battle!
Hopefully, Gan/Koo could outplay the back-up Danish pair, as they are in better position to qualify for Athens compared to Chan/Chew.

all 3 young chn (Liu Jian, Chen Lanting, Zhu Lin) made it to the WS semis, the last spot being Pi Hongyan...

Let's see what could happen!

Hope the Malaysian MD can redeem some hope after what happened in Birmingham to Choong/Lee.

MS SEMI:
CHEN Jin(CHN) vs ROCH Jens (GER)
JOPPIEN Bjoern (GER) vs YAMADA Hidetaka (JPN)

JOPPIEN Bjoern (GER) beat MAINAKY Marleve 15-7/15-9 in Quaters

I think No one has the ability to prevent ChenJin from becoming the champion in this Open.

impressive performance by the chn youngster.. in the XD, the final is btw Chn pair of Xie Zhongbo/Yu Yang vs Russian Zuev Nikolaj/Marina Yakusheva...
in the WD, its all chn fnal btw Du Jing/Yang Yu and Feng Chen/Pan Pan

Did Misburn say they need to win the French Open before letting them to go to the Olympics? I was wondering because if they have a good draw and win the 1st round of the Korean Open and Japan Open, they still have an excellent chance of gaining enough ranking points to qualify for Athens.

There goes Chan/Chew as well.

Gan/Koo are the new kids on the block.

I also hope Chen Jin could win. Probably in terms of skills he is the best one. But let's not forget in tournaments experience is also very important. JOPPIEN Bjoern is a very experienced player and not easy to deal with in tournaments.

Chan/ Chew have kissed goodbye thier chances to play in other tournaments before the Olympics. Yap Kim Hock had said he won't send them unless they are crowned in French.

Wonder what it takes to get them back to their formidable play again. Sigh..

Gan/ Koo are the newly crowned national champs in Malaysia, they are young and fast. I think they will win!

I have seen Gan/Koo play recently, very impressive. They dragged the top English pair all over and would have won if they had more luck and experience.

They are something like Cai/Fu, not as fast and explosive but slightly more powerful and accurate. I hope they will avenge Choong/Lee/Chan/Chew in the finals...Justice, we need you now....hahaha

Chen Jin will win the champion!

I hope Chen Jin wins as well. I got excited about him after his ownage of Park Sung Hwan at World Juniors gold medal game but he never made a big impact in a few tries at China Open and at the Copenhagen Masters (he did beat Sony Kuncorro though!!).

Hopefully, the French Open will be his first major step into world dominance!

In WS, Pi looks set to win gold again on home ground, as she has much more exp than the youngster Chen Lanting.

Of course, go Malaysians in MD!!!

No worries, wl2172! Justice is always around for those who works hard enough. That would be nice to also have Lady Luck with us sometimes though.

Let's hope Gan/Koo win in style today. That will give the Malaysian camp a timely booster! Yap would be happy to see his young proteges doing well. Hope this pair is cool and steady and come up real fast. We need them to do some big kills in TC and the Olympics.

Go, Ah Chai and Ah Keat!

Sounds like all the "Chens" can really play badminton. Is Chen Jin in anyway related to Chen Hong, Chen Yu...etc?

Pi Hongyan took the WS title...

Chen is one of the 10 most common surnames in Chn which make up 40% of the total population (the othrs being Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, Yang, Wu, Liu, Huang and Zhou) so it isnt surprising seeing so many Chens, Zhangs or Lis in the team...

Gan/Koo are the champions. They have avenged Malaysian MD.

Actually the result is a little strange....6-15 17-15 ?

N0.They are no any relation.

But maybe they are household five hundred years ago according to Chinese colloquialism.

I think more than several ten million Chinese's family name is "Chen".

Yeahh...Well done, Ah Chai and Ah Keat!

Hopefully the result on the site is correct. I don't think my young heart can take another insult in such a short time.

Yap Kim Hock should field them in the TC instead of Chan/Chew.

Go, Chai & Keat,

be cool & steady!
:cool:

And, guys, thanks for the answers regarding "Chen". I just can't help thinking that they might be related like the Sidek brothers and Hashim brothers. May be it's just a phenomenon in Malaysia only.

Also remember that China has 1.3 billion people.

You are right Justice, I think Gan/Koo will surpass Chan/Chew after this victory. Although it is just a small tournament, this win will increase their confidence. If they can improve their combination and power, this pair can go very far.

great to hear our local boys won their first international tourney. :) i'm sure they are happy and full of confidence right now. hope they are also going to play in Japan open.

Congratulations to Gan/Koo!
Yap should know better which pair to field in the TC. We need a strong second doubles to give our opponent a gun run for their money. The finals of the TC 2 years ago was like a “cooked duck flew away” and the doubles did not execute their assignments effective enough. Moreover, Chan/Chew seems to have problem playing doubles especially those from Indonesia and Korea. They need to regain their killing instinct fast.
For Gan/Koo, the young bloods and the coach should put in hard work to shape the pair up physically and mentally. They surely need to inject more combinations and power into the their game. On top of that, they should be flexible in term of knowing which tactics work for which team, But, don’t stress them too much. Lee Wan Wah always looked so stressed playing big matches. Guys, just relax and try to enjoy the game. But, don’t be too complacent when we are up against our opponents. (Sorry, Yap, for my 2 cents. Of course you know it better.)

Go, Malaysia!

here is the finalists and the results:

Finally we see some lights at the end of the tunnel, right?

Hopefully Coach Kim Hock agrees with your and others' suggestions. Also, hopefully the young guns do not keep the backup-squad mentality. They should believe they are one of the best doubles now and is more than capable to challenge the world. I am sure the coach will give them plenty of chances in big tourneys.

Guys, time to do big kills!
Rival teams, watch out from now!

Anyone knows why the is a (2) behind Chen Jin's name? I'm guessing there is another Chen Jin outside there. Or perhaps it is to say that Jin is pronounced as the second ... (accent?) in the Hanyu Pinyin.

Even stranger, how come there's an (F) behind the ladies doubles player's name? Female?

I disagree with you guys about this. Firstly, the French Open is not a good yardstick although Gan/Koo does show a lot of potential. Secondly, Chan Chong Ming is recovering from injury. Chan is a very formidable player and Chew can be very good at times.

So, I think Malaysia has 3 strong doubles players. Yap Kim Hock will have a headache when he chooses his Thomas Cup lineup, but it is the kind of headache other coaches will envy. It also means we have more options to do same thing as we did against China in the Thomas Cup qualifying final, ie. break up pairs to form a strong second doubles.

Yes, there is another chinese player named Chen Jin in 1980s.

and also there is male chinese player named Yu Yang, and now he is chinese team's coach.

do you know?
Yu Yang(M) is Zhang Ning's husband

Good analysis, hcyong.

It's good to have 3 pairs to choose from. Let's wish Chan recovers soon and will give good showings. To have different pair-ups among the 3 doubles can be positive and flexible in dealing with different teams, also to train up players' adaptation to different partners.

Coach Yap Kim Hock, you have done a good job and we count on you!;)

Gan/Koo, challenge the world!
