MS (R16)
Lin Dan v Ronald
Will be a noisy match, don't think the Olympic result will repeat - Ronald is on good form but so is Lin Dan (Lin 75%)
Hafiz v Ng Wei
Ng Wei was a little out-of-sorts against Rasidi, Hafiz is on good form in his complacent sort of way (Hafiz 70%)
Peter v Chetan Anand
Anand did well to take out lacklustre Dicky but Peter did very well against a never-say-die Shon SM (Peter 90%)
Taufik v Sairul
Sairul streamrolled Lee Cheol Ho, Taufik steamrolled Simon and Sairul will hope he looks good flat (Taufik 80%)
Kuan Beng Hong v Bao
Kuan looks destined to stay in the middle league (Bao 85%)
Lee Hyun Il v Lee Chong Wei
Lee Hyun Il did well to beat a fighting Lee TS and will now face a different Lee altogether (Lee CW 70%)
Agus v Chen Hong
Agus took forever to beat his team-mate Yohan (Chen Hong 90%)
Kenneth v Chen Yu
Chen Yu defeated crowd-favaurite Xia. Kenneth very convincing against Roslin (Kenneth 70%)

WS (R16)
Xie v Yu Hirayama (Xie 95%)
Zhou Mi v Li Li (Zhou 90%)
Jiang Yanjiao v Yonekura (Jiang 55%) - match of the day
well, based on Jiang's defeat of Yao Jie, she has to start as favourites
Nedeltcheva v Hwang Hye Youn (Hwang 55%)
Bulgarian took out another seed - Hallam - but I still favour the Korean
Meemek v Mia (Mia 95%)
Mia should be as fresh as ever, getting a walkover from Xu Huaiwen
Popat v Pi Hongyan (Pi 90%)
Wang Chen v Kaori Mori (Wang 60%)
Zhang Ning v Xing Aiying (Zhang 95%)

XD (R16)
All the seeds are safe except for Lee Jae Jin-Lee Kyung Won who got pipped in a very exciting match by Xie Zhongbo-Zhang Yawen.

I think all the seeds (and Xie-Zhang) are favourites in the R16.

Possible upset by Jung Jae Sung-Lee Kyung Won up against 4th seeds Chen-Zhao

hcyong totally agree with your assessment on ms which surely means some of them will be wrong:p ;) !!!

Indonesian MD pairs impressive in the 1st round, as expected. If Luluk/Alven (against Thai qualifier) and Kidho/Markis (against Lie/Njoto) win, they will have a 100% success rate in the 1st round.

So far, Candra/Sigit (beat Patapol/Sudket), Flandi/Eng (beat Chan/Koo) and Riyadi/Gunawan (beat Lin/Fairuz) are through to the 2nd round tonight.

A miserable day for Malaysian MD. Out of 6, only one or two may survive the opening round, although it must be said that luck is not on Chan/Koo's side to get drawn with Flandi/Eng.

WD 1st Round Result
All the seeds safely through.
The 2nd Round will be held tonight. I expect all 8 seeds to qualify for the Qfinals tomorrow.

In the MD, the 1st Round is almost over. The match between Cai/Fu and Choong/Lee is the only one yet to start.

now why dont they have that very-useful-live scoring system-that-they-had-last-year?:mad:

yeahhhhhhhhh cai fu won! so happy! great comebackkkkk :D :D :D

Lousy day for Malaysia MD as they show that they have quantity but not quality. 5 of the 6 pairs crashed out in the 1st round. Only Tan/Ong is through to the next round.

All 5 Indon pairs made it to the next round. Impressive.

The Danes are not doing bad themselves, with 4 of 5 pairs advancing.

Overall, no major upsets in the MD. Wong/Chew gave a walkover to Lindley/Roebuck.

WS R16 Results
Chinese top 3 got a scare.
Xie, Zhang and Zhou got stretched to 3 sets by Yu Hirayama, Xing Aiying and Li Li respectively.
Qualifier Jiang Yanjiao (defeated Yonekura) restored some calm and will meet Nedeltcheva (defeated Hwang) next.
Pi Hongyan and Mia will fight in the Qfinals.
Wang Chen easily defeated Mori.

QFinal lineup:
Xie v Zhou
Jiang v Nedeltcheva
Pi v Mia
Wang v Zhang

Gade won easily over Anand.
Zhang/Gao beat Koo/Wong in 3 games.

Hafiz Just Lost to Ng Wei, 12-15 15-8 12-15..

The malaysians are not doing very well this tournament... these events do not bode well for the WC

Very bad day for Malaysia. There could be no Malaysian playing tomorrow.

WS all out
XD all out
MS - Kuan and Sairul probably will be out, must depend on Lee CW (v Lee HI)
MD - only Tan/Ong left, they take on 6th-seeded Mogensen/Boe now
WD - only Chin/Wong left, they take on Hallam/Munt later tonight

Tan/Ong looks like getting thrashed.
Sairul is giving a fight to Taufik, but with the black cloud over Malaysia today, he will probably lose, too. Anyway, no one can fault him. He is fighting Taufik after all.

I can't see the livescore. can somebody post the score please

And now it looks like malaysia will have no one tomorrow. With LCW down 12-6

It seems like Malaysia's bad streak continues.

Ong/Tang were crushed by Boe/Mogensen: 15-3, 15-3! :eek:

Lee Hyun Il won 1st 15-13 over Lee Chong Wei. Close fight so far. 4-1 now to LCW in 2nd. LCW seems to have almost pulled off a great comeback from 6-12 in 1st, so maybe he has gained momentum now.

Tonite susilo VS lin dan? 7.15pm?

Make that 13-6. Lin Dan seems to be on top of things now...

Jung/Lee beat Lindley/Roebuck 15-9, 15-7.

Malaysian players are so disappointinghttp://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/crying.gif http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/mad.gif

3-1 susilo leading !

3-3 draw now !! gooo susilo =p

Lin dan did mentioned in newspaper, Susilo is 1 of the opponent he finds hard to play with and sees him as a strong opponent. Wah 8-3 ... Lin dan leading.

Lin Dan won 15-6, 15-7. I think he is unstoppable now since he has finally won Ronald Susilo.. though I secretly wish Bao will win LD!! :D :D

yeah ..me too :)
btw what about bao's match?

against Eriksen/Schjoldager.. and Sara Runesten is originally from Denmark, so I can assure you that she would have loved to beat her former country-men... what a shame she - and her partner - did not succeed.. that would have been an accomplishment..

According to www.petergade.net: (http://www.petergade.net:) Gade is using a new Racket!!!!!!! Yonex Armortec 700.

I think he played MP88 for a very long time?

Anyone know the correct score of the match

Lundgård / Eriksen vs Steffensen / Laybourn

On livescoresite Steffensen / Laybourn won the third set 15/13 and on the draw site it is Lundgaard / Eriksen?

:D Some suprising results today:

MS:

Hafiz lost to Ng Wei in 3 sets. How dissapointing!

Lee Chong wei lost to Lee Hyu Il 3 sets also. Looks like LHI come back to his usual form.

Tomorrow line up:

Lin D VS Ng Wei (The most predictable one)
Peter Gade VS Taufik (Taufik won)
Bao CL VS Lee HI (Bao won)
Chen H VS Kenneth J (50:50)

WS:

Petya from Bulgaria surely the most improved European WS right now.

The SF will be : Xie XF VS Jiang YJ and Mia A VS her old nemesis Zhang Ning.

MD:

Nothing suprise here, although the Malaysians lost all their pairs before QF.

QF line up:

Jens/Martin VS Cai/Fu (This is suppose to be a final match or at least SF match!) IBF should really relook tournament points. Cai/Fu won in rubber.

Chandra/Sigit VS Flandi/Eng Hian (50:50)

Lee /Jung VS Lars/Jonas. Lars/Jonas won in 3 sets.

Boe/Mogensen VS Luluk/Alven. Luluk/Alven won.

In WD:

I can't believe it! At last Indonesia Women pair can beat the Koreans. :D Yes!!

The semifinal: Yang/Zhang meet Gao/Huang and Jo/Polii VS Wei/Zhao

In XD:

Nothing suprise also.

QF line up:

Nathan/Emms VS The THais. The England pair won.

Chen/Zhao VS Nova/ Lita (50:50)

Clark/Kellog VS Jens/Mette Jens/Mette win.

Xie/Zhang VS Zhang/Gao Zhang/Gao win.

For MS QF

my fav match will be Bao CL vs Lee HI and Peter vs Taufik
if Lee wins, then nobody can take him for granted in semifinal and even final

In WD:

I can't believe it! At last Indonesia Women pair can beat the Koreans. :D Yes!!

The semifinal: Yang/Zhang meet Gao/Huang and Jo/Polii VS Wei/Zhao


The Indonesian girls were great! It was worth staying up to 11pm and watch them upset the Koreans.

For MS QF

my fav match will be Bao CL vs Lee HI and Peter vs Taufik
if Lee wins, then nobody can take him for granted in semifinal and even final

And it happens already!!!!! (Lee HI wins)

QF line up:

Jens/Martin VS Cai/Fu (This is suppose to be a final match or at least SF match!) IBF should really relook tournament points. Cai/Fu won in rubber.

Chandra/Sigit VS Flandi/Eng Hian (50:50)

Lee /Jung VS Lars/Jonas. Lars/Jonas won in 3 sets.

Boe/Mogensen VS Luluk/Alven. Luluk/Alven won.


Ahem. Don't quit your daytime job! :p :D

Who is the LO for msian team? Any update on what Kim Hock strategy is? Just have a friendly game with his brother in Muar last weekend. Wah good durians there.
