belfastnole2 06-08-2005, 11:40 AM I think it needed peter,kenneth in the ms and either jonas/lars or martin/jens in the md to put the outcome in any doubt - just my opinion

I agree. Perhaps they are unavailable as it's held just after the Malaysian Open.
This is purely an invitational event. And offer no ranking points. Some of them may not be able to make it. I do hope JR and partner can play as well. Maybe next year. Probable reason is to prepare for the WC.
aiyuuw 06-09-2005, 03:31 AM who'll play mixed for asia? i dontk recognize the names, from what country?
seven 06-09-2005, 03:43 AM who'll play mixed for asia? i dontk recognize the names, from what country?
They're from Philippines.
DaN_fAn 06-09-2005, 05:47 AM how come there are just 2 MS players from either side though there are going to be 3 MS matches.
aiyuuw 06-09-2005, 06:53 AM yea? why are there only two? not enough time maybe
and one more thing, why doesnt denmark send kenneth or peter?
Go Gade 06-09-2005, 07:34 AM Mens Singles - Andres Boesen (Denmark)
I thought he retired, because he wasn't picked for the Danish WC team... It was in the danish news some time ago!
Pingo 06-09-2005, 07:40 AM Mixed Doubles - Kennie and Kennivic Assuncion
How are they related?
seven 06-09-2005, 07:59 AM How are they related?
I think they are brother and sister.
How are they related?
They are brother and sister. Sister is older 26yrs old and brother is around 24yrs old. Very committed players.
Morten 06-10-2005, 08:45 AM I dont think Anders retired. he just quite the training on the national training center and is now training on his own. Looks like the danish squad has boycotted this event, obviously to prepare for the WC.. just my 2 cents
weeyet 06-11-2005, 04:58 PM Lin Dan and Taufik actually don't like each other, so it's interesting to see them in one team (Asian team). However, Taufik doesn't mind to become Lin Dan's teammate because this is not a formal competition, and he also doesn't mind Li Yongbo to become the captain :D
Taufik said he wouldn't communicate with Lin Dan as the competition lasts only 3 days and he also has language barrier with Lin.
He even said like this: "I'm currently ranked 8th in the world, I will be taking part in Singapore and malaysia Open. Hopefully my ranking could go up to 3rd or 4th then, so that I won't meet somebody until the final ..." :eek::eek:
When asked who is that "somebody", Taufik laughed in an "unfriendly" way:"I have been waiting for WC for long time."
Although the Phillipines is not far from China, Lin Dan seems doesn't like very much about it. He enquires a couples of times, "So far away, and held during my closed door training period, are you sure I'm selected??"
When confirmed that he needs to go, Lin Dan helplessly said:"There are two Opens I need to compete before WC, system training is already no enough, and yet I still need to go for this competition (Asia vs Europe)"
About issue he will become Taufik's teammate, Lin Dan seems doesn't care about it. All on his mind now is nothing other than the WC.
Lin Dan said that he hopes to clinch his first WC title, to change people's perception towards his "Open Champion" image. (only wins Open tournament)/
Actually most of them are not keen to join this tournament initially. But have to give way to the organisers as well.
weeyet 06-11-2005, 05:19 PM Mentally I will be more interested to watch a game between Lin Dan and Taufik after knowing Taufik doesn't like Lin Dan (in Hokkien dialect we call it "beh song" :p)

Cupper 06-21-2005, 12:07 AM such as??...... :D
"Taufik, why do you hate Dan's guts?"
MABIN 06-27-2005, 11:33 AM GO ASIA!
It will need a miracle for Team Europe to win.
kontrabando 07-06-2005, 04:43 AM got tickets already...i'll watch them all...all three days :D
got tickets already...i'll watch them all...all three days :D
Good.. see you there :)
ErrBerr 07-06-2005, 05:14 AM This 'feud' going on between LD and Taufik.. can someone fill me in on how and why they dispise each other?!? :confused:
PS: Perhaps the words 'feud' and 'dispise' are inappropriate, but can't think of any other words.. :o

I dont think they hated each other.. its just FUED, EGO and COMPETITION. Both of them have to keep each other heads up high. In team event such as this.. hmmm you migh be suprised how it will turn out.
kontrabando 07-07-2005, 02:19 AM ants, are you here in the phils at the moment? where do you usually play?
Good.. see you there :)
ants, are you here in the phils at the moment? where do you usually play?

AiC.. i was thinking that it was something personal, hehe..:o
The match will start today.... The players just had press conference earlier.
Lets get it ON!
stantan 07-11-2005, 10:51 PM Have tickets for tonight and Thursday.
Im sad to hear that theyre not really excited in playing here, even if it is indeed the largest purse in badminton, as reported.
Anyone care to comment on the economic side of this? How does it affect the players?

The winning team gets US$50,000 while the losers get US$30,000. That amounts to about US$5K per event (2 X MS, 2 X WS, 2 X MD, 2 X WD, 1 X XD, Team Captain) for the winning team and US$3K per event for the losing team.
US$5K is more or less the runner-up's purse in most major IBF tourneys. I'm not sure but I think Lin Dan got less than that as runner-up in the recently concluded Malaysian Open. I Think US$3K probably is equivalent to their "appearance fee".

They are not really excited to play here as some of them are gearing up for the Big One. The players need not to worry about $ as they are being paid to play.. win or lose.

There will be not Website or even live scoring for this event.
