Japan Open 4/7(Day 3)

[Ahlut]

The results not out for 1 game finished???
Need 1 part finished then out over all.
So poor!!!:mad:

[rwchen]

Finally, the three Chinese youngsters produced some results in WS this time but their senior, Zhou Mi failed to clear the first hurdle, losing in straight sets to Yonekura. Lu Lan upstaged Olympics Silver Medalist, Mia Audina in a close game, it's 13-11 in the rubber while Jiang beat Poonsana Salakjit. Interesting matches come up in the second round,

Zhang Ning vs Wong Mew Choo
Lu Lan vs Xing AY ( Lu Lan is fired up after his win over Mia )
Wang Chen vs Elizabeth Cann
Yonekura vs Tine Rasmussen ( Equal match, Yonekura has the home advantage)
Zhu Lin vs Xu HW
Hirose vs Pi YH (Match of the day)
Jiang vs Yao
Hallam vs Xie

The rest of the matches should go the more highly seeded players, Zhang, Wang, Xu, Yao and Xie.

[Zhang Ning]

Wong Mew Choo mei mei again... why she always in the tough draw?

[khelben]

ooo... md results finally out...

thanks for updating, people :). wow. lu lan bt mia? what was the score? and why the walkover from robertsn/blair?

[seven]

thanks for updating, people :). wow. lu lan bt mia? what was the score? and why the walkover from robertsn/blair?
Lu Lan beat Mia 11-9 7-11 13-11.
Robertson was already injured and pulled out from the mixed doubles first round, so he probably retired in MD for the same reason (shoulder injury).

[Simp84]

Noooooooo!! Poor Hafiz!! hes out :( Injury I think
And same goes to WCH~ hes lost to Chen Yu.. very disappointing....:(

[candra W]

nooooo, it cant be true, all the 3 malay vs china ms matches won by china! malay has only one ms player left, Lee chong Wei,

i really cant believe this!

[hcyong]

Wong Mew Choo mei mei again... why she always in the tough draw?

It makes no difference. If you are unseeded and in the last 16, you will probably meet one of the top 8 seeds anyway. The top 8 seeds being Zhang, Xie, Pi, Wang, Zhou, Yao, Mia and Xu. Mew Choo has little chance against any one of them. It would be a blessing if she is not drawn against one of them in the opening round.

(But we know Mia and Zhou lost. Mew Choo would have more chance if she were to play either Kanako or Lu Lan.)

[candra W]

i hope Chong Wei will chop down Jonassen in the next round,

i really dont hope Jonassen will have the pleasure to say he has beaten 3 malay players in a row! :mad: :mad: :crying:


go Chong Wei, go Taufik, Go Candra/Sigit

Japan Open Final: Lee chong Wei vs Yaufik Hidayat :D :D

Huh Taufik is chinese??? U serious?

Yes, serious. As far as I know, the only non-Chinese (race, that is) in the Indonesian camp from past to present is Icuk Sugiarto.

The Chinese, they go everywhere. Just take a look at all the 8 seeds in the WS.

[Simp84]

wow didn't know he was a chinese descendant
But my bet is still on him to win JO :D

[$100 Dreams]

What about budiarto(sigit) and hariyanto? I believe they are muslim indonesians too?

[hcyong]

wow didn't know he was a chinese descendant
But my bet is still on him to win JO :D

Me, too. He is the most talented of the today's players. But I hope Lee CW can win. First Kenneth, then Lin Dan, and finally Taufik. No big deal.

[candra W]

hahaha,
no way taufik is a chinese man !!!!!!!!!!!
taufik is a real indonesian, for 100000000000000000000000% sure!! same for sony and sigit and flandy,
the chinese are candra, simon, eng hian, ect

[Loh]

wow didn't know he was a chinese descendant
But my bet is still on him to win JO :D

So are Ronald Susilo and Candra Wijaya! And many in the Indonesian team are ethnic Chinese, but don't expect all of them to be able to speak or write Chinese, not even speak their mother tongue like Hokkien or Teochew. ;)

[Simp84]

Me, too. He is the most talented of the today's players. But I hope Lee CW can win. First Kenneth, then Lin Dan, and finally Taufik. No big deal. Mmmm... I dont think Li Mao's coaching regime is helping....
WCH lost to Chen Yu despite under his intensive training...
Well I dont want to put too much hope into the Lee CW like I did on Hafiz...

Haha its true that some people here mentioned the Malaysians
always come very close and then create the biggest disappointment
in the end :P

[Simp84]

So are Ronald Susilo and Candra Wijaya! And many in the Indonesian team are ethnic Chinese, but don't expect all of them to be able to speak or write Chinese, not even speak their mother tongue like Hokkien or Teochew. ;) But u can tell Ronald or Candra look very chinese....
Taufik look very malay haha... so does Sony :p

yeh..i Thought taufik is 100% indonesian
btw what about Bao Chun lai's match?
any update about that?
thanx

Bao Chunlai won Ng Wei by 15-12, 15-10 :D..Don't worry yet..Worry tomoro when he plays Lin Dan :p:p

[Anatolii]

Bao Chunlai won Ng Wei by 15-12, 15-10 :D..Don't worry yet..Worry tomoro when he plays Lin Dan :p:plol. :D my heart is with Bao to win this match. but supposing taufik makes it through, i think i've got more confidence in lin dan triumphing over him.

[MadaMadaDane]

too bad hafiz lost.. i expected him to go on to win JO ... :crying: :crying: :crying: maybe fatigue cost him the match ... but 2 titles in a row was a good achivement tho'

[aiyuuw]

wow didn't know he was a chinese descendant
But my bet is still on him to win JO :D what? no he is not a chinese, he is a moslem, so do sony and flandy, just look at their names, well, candra, alven, and some more others are chinese. even if hes not famous its obvious that he is not just by looking at his name

[Johansen]

Hafiz retired because of a knee-injury - but at that time he was down with one set.
I'm sure that Kenneth will beat Lee Chong Wei. He is good against the young asians - and I do believe that Peter Gade will win against Taufik.

It's sure the chinese ws will be keep strong in the future!

[coops241180]

Shoulder injury for robertson doesn't bode well for the long term prospects, fortunately he is paired with robert blair in mens who is young and can do the hitting for him. But robertson took a fair while to recover from his last shoulder surgery (he played the AE2004 far too soon after) i wonder if he was struggling at the masters too, he couldn't seem to put the shuttle on the floor. similary to the problems he had at AE2004.

while he can get away without his smash in mens, he really can't play mixed without it..

suppose it's fortunate that we're coming to a natural break in the season...

[Bresis]

lol. :D my heart is with Bao to win this match. but supposing taufik makes it through, i think i've got more confidence in lin dan triumphing over him.
You want Bao to win Lin Dan?? I'm not sure who i support to win in this match though...tough decision..

So how come he lost to Hafiz last week? Hafiz is only 22. Be more objective in your assessment.

[aiyuuw]

so, candra/sigit are going to face luluk/alven AGAIN,,,,,,,,,,,

[xijiayu]

Six Malaysian players in 1/16, however only one made it to 1/8. I cannot put too much hope on LCW and am afraid that this could end up to be one of the worst tournaments for Malaysian so far (none could reach 1/8?). Really hope that LCW could turn the table against KJ this time, after losing to him back to back in Singapore open and Copenhagen master.

I don't think WCH and Roslin can make any bigger breakthrough in their career anymore. They can probably only play for another 1 or 2 years before retired. Malaysia only have LCW, Hafiz and KBH who can pick up the challenge for the country in any future tournaments. Apart from these 3 players, I doubt there is anyone else who can play better in the country. We need to bring up our juniors urgently. Our single juniors are far behind compared to Chinese and Koreans and this is even more critical issue than doubles.

In doubles, I think CTF/ CCE is almost out of the race to qualify for WC. Although their 1/4 result from Thailand open may give them a place on top 24, their poor run in Japan Open will not help to get any better position. Eventhough we have 4 doubles on the top 24 by the end of May, we should give opportunities to two young doubles (Tan/ Ong & Tazari/ Lin). I guess the original Chong/ Lee combination will drop out of top 24.

It's time for Malaysia to bring more young players in the senior team now. The senior likes WCH, Roslin, CTF/ LWW/ CCE should be able to be their sparing partners to help growing up their standards.

BAM should act before it is too late.

yup the match they played in singapore wuz a thriller... and both seemingly playing better and better during this season... should be quite a match to watch... sadly we have no means of watching it.... :(

i think the gade taufik match could go either way... taufik has been out of action for a very long time and gade is well... not really at the top of his game... should be interesting... but again... no telecast... sigh...

I have a lot of respect for Danish badminton players, especially Peter Gade, whom I think is Badminton's messanger. I also think that Peter and Kenneth are two of the most sporting characters in the scene. However, some of the remarks by Danish fans in this forum are not very nice, I hope they can emulate their heroes (mine as well).

Regards

www.badminton-nyt.dk (http://www.badminton-nyt.dk/) Quite a few danish fans seem to be slightly "arrogant" when talking about their champions performances, when Gade or Jonassen themselves are much more modest and respectful of their opponents. :rolleyes:

[seven]

I always hear that Gade is not on his top level. What the hell? He is - of course. You will see that tomorrow.

Don`t understand these silly quotes. He cannot win every match!! Who can?
Yes, Gade is at his top level, whereas Taufik isn't (as can be read in this article : http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1757)

So Gade clearly has the edge here, though Taufik is always unpredictable as he is a genius! :p

[Badmincraze]

yeah.. it's not very surprising considering Lin dan's not under my favourites list, whereas Bao is. ;)
Same here :D . It has been a long long time since Bao truimph over Lin... ...

[tcstay]

as for WS, i find that Jiang YanJiao, Lu Lan, Wang Chen and Pi Hongyan are on rather good streaks. maybe they can go on and overcome their next opponent bah.

as for MS, i have mixed feelings, on one hand i hope LCW will win, but i doubt so this time round, though i'm not looking at his records with Jonassen. Lin Dan should overcome Bao, as he has a far stronger mentality and will. whereas it doesn't matter Gade or Taufik win or lose, as both of them are worthy opponents and should be a really interesting match.

my bet with Chen Hong to overcome the other Chen. but i suck in my predictions.

[Anatolii]

However, some of the remarks by Danish fans in this forum are not very nice, I hope they can emulate their heroes (mine as well).i haven't noticed any 'misbehaviour' of danish fans in BF .. :confused::rolleyes:

Why are we arrogant.. cant understand this opinion. Of course we want our own players to win.. Look at all the chinese in this forum, the are of course cheering for their country too and no matter what you will always tend to think that the players from your country are better than the others but that doesnt make you arogant. I respect the opponents from the other countries as long as they doesnt fool around as the unmature Lin Dan who isnt a worthy ikon for badminton. he should learn from his countrymen Chen Hong and Xia.

I respect the opponents from the other countries as long as they doesnt fool around as the unmature Lin Dan who isnt a worthy ikon for badminton. he should learn from his countrymen Chen Hong and Xia. Well, Johansen's statement " I'm sure that Kenneth will beat Lee Chong Wei. He is good against the young asians" was maybe not the most appropriate.
First because this is objectively a very tight match, certainly not a "sure" outcome, and also I don't see the point in saying he is good against young asians, as this is not really true and could be interpreted as some sort of communautarism. (why say "young asians" rather than young players in general?)

Though, I'm sure there were no bad intentions, we must always be careful when posting on an international board like this one, as some declarations can be misinterpreted. :o

I think Gade Supporter's attitude when he first arrived on BF (nearly insulting anyone who would dare think Gade is not the best player in the world) didn't help with danish fan's image... :rolleyes:
I think this is also what wl2172 was referring too. ;)

There is of course nothing bad in cheering for ones country, above statement could be rephrased "I hope that Kenneth will beat Lee Chong Wei. His experience should be an advantage in this match" (or "I have the feeling...") and no one would complain! :D

Anyway, as everyone said, just forget this and enjoy Japan Open!! :D

[wl2172]

Well said Seven.

I sincerely apologise to Danish fans...I did not mean to be rude. However, there have been instances (some people have also noticed), where others will get shot down at the mere mention that his/her idol is not the best.

Saying that, I am not Danish but Peter Gade is one of my heroes, and a role model for everyone. Badminton should transcend boundaries, badminton is for everyone. It is natural to cheer for your own countryman, but accept it if he/she is not winning all the time.

This is not merely just targetting at any group in general. Learn to be objective, and people will accept you more in whatever you do.

Not sure...but I think he is not that old.

I think 24 or 25

[xijiayu]

I always think that champions are not 'produced' over a short period. Even China takes 2-3 years for their talented youngsters to become mature. If you can expose them a bit earlier at senior level, you will be few steps ahead of your rivals. This is why we used to see China and Indonesia can produce champions at 20++, Malaysian juniors who took part in WJC 2004 are mostly 18-19 now and BAM is still keeping them in the backup team and only sending them to mostly satelite tournaments. By the time they are in the senior team, it probably needs another 1-2 years. Look at what China is doing now. Their juniors from WJC 2004 are mostly at senior level already (some of them are able to create upsets in Japan Open). We should also let our juniors come out and play senior tournaments. I noticed that even Tan/ Ong and Tazari/ Lin were just given more opportunities to play in senior tournaments last year after the major restructure took place (CTF pairs with CCE and KKK pairs with CCM). AT that time, they were the highest ranked Malaysian pairs (around 50).

We should avoid repeating the mistaken made back in 90s when we were struggling to find successors for Foo Kok Keong and Rashid.

[jamesd20]

It is a difficult situation, when to bring out players, if too soon it can affect their confidence, if too late, then may be disillusioned and end up stunting development.

I think MAL may be too slow to bring out players. CHN play their young players quite a lot, and even they develop to be top players. Lin was playing on Circuit 2years before became the player he is now. MAL need to be patient though, not see them lose a few, then pull them out. They need a plan saying you are doing 10 tournaments a year, 2 satelites, 5, lower *(2/3), then 3 higher star (4/5/6). Make itclear which ones they are doing, and that they expect them to win the satelites, reach later stages of middle class, and maybe just last a few rounds of the higher ones. Next year they can do more higher ends, but still a satelite, and lower *. By the time they reach third year, they should be developing + maturing enough to decide for themselves, and cope with losses/wins well.

Chen Jin is the modern example. He always entered CO since 15/16, last year competed in more middles range tourneys, and won lower ones (eg. French), this year in the main stream, next year or year after He should be the one to beat. Gong Weijie, is one year behind Chen in this cycle.

[wl2172]

Gosh....I cannot believe I am saying this, but I think MAL needs a project Manager based on what you are saying. Something like the English Premiere League ;)

[aiyuuw]

[ditorajo]

Good points made....BAM need to act urgently, or there won't be much of a future after LCW and Hafiz
Don't worry. Malaysia still has numerous young players out there. BAM has started to send them out to compete in higher level competition. If you notice from Thai Open, there were five of them, i.e. yeoh kay bin, hazwan, nazree, yogendran and salim. Yeoh Kay Bin almost make a significant impact in Japan Open while taking Jonassen in first round. The game took about 53'. There will be more out in 2006 under Rashid charges and watch out another sidek brother :) .

[Anatolii]

(why say "young asians" rather than young players in general?)well, there aren't many young non-asian players around to beat, are there?


Though, I'm sure there were no bad intentions, we must always be careful when posting on an international board like this one, as some declarations can be misinterpreted. :o hm, like you say, it's an international board... some of us may be writing one thing, when we actually mean something else. so the rest of us, should take that into consideration before bombarding each other with what each of us feel is right or wrong...


Anyway, as everyone said, just forget this and enjoy Japan Open!! :D.. my advice is not to forget this too soon.. i mean, we don't want it occuring again in the near future, do we? ;) but, yeah, enjoy the YJO and the coming weekend. :D

*this is rather unrelated, but i just have to say this: kitaro's 'heaven and earth' is simply awesome!!

The new Koreans are just over the WJC age i.e. 18 at the beginning of 2004 and played their last WJC last year. If you look at the WJC 2004, almost all the players except those from China were born in 1986.

Most of the juniors in MD XD from 2002 from Korea, Indonesia, M'sia and Spore are now regulars on the senior circuit. But no MS, and the few WS, WD are from Korea.

The Chinese juniors are a good bit younger. ChenJ & JaingYj were 16+ winners in WJC 2002; ChenJ repeated in 2004. GongWjie i(R-U in 2004 by a whisker) is being given S circuit experience but will play WJC nextyear as he is 17 months younger than ChenJ. Wang YiH (17), QF and WangLin (15+) (SF) WJC 2004 were on display in SiamO. T

Those who make a good mark in the WJC are immediately rewarded with a S tournament, and several juniors play the minor circuit - Siam, French, Polish. ChenJ won in France and Poland in 2004. To my surprise, China also sends some to the Satellite tour.

Though, I'm sure there were no bad intentions, we must always be careful when posting on an international board like this one, as some declarations can be misinterpreted. :o
Hi All of you

I can't understand some of your reactions. When people in here write with big fonts - screaming on their favorits - it's ok. I had no bad intentions.
My two lines was nothing but cheering up the danish players. But to write that danish fans on this forum not are nice is very stupid...

Anyway, as everyone said, just forget this and enjoy Japan Open!! :D

Best Regards

Okay, guys, this is getting ridiculous.

I have seen plenty of other remarks on this forum more worthy of a flaming.
But the point is: we don't flame people in BF. Everybody's opinions are welcome and should be respected, as long as they don't break forum guidelines. I don't really see that here.

Let's drop this and move on. :mad:
