Actually I think this year's Aviva Open is much more exciting than last yr's. Just looking at the MS lineup, I think it will be an exciting day again tmr!! :D

Men's Singles

1* LIN Dan {CHN} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=50906) VS 9* NG Wei {HKG} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=9662) (4:25pm)

3* GADE CHRISTENSEN Peter {DEN} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=6926) VS 8* HIDAYAT Taufik {INA}
(http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=10337)(4:40pm)

5* BAO Chunlai {CHN} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=51274) VS LEE Hyun II {KOR} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=11704) (7:30pm)

7* CHEN Hong {CHN} (http://www.worldbadminton.net/portal/desktopmodules/biography.asp?pnumber=9689) VS (8:50pm)

I think peter will win.

The two remaining Danes look very strong. Seems as if Gade plays well with his new racket.
Jonassen has in fact been my favourite to win after his impressive performance in Sudirman.
But Dan, Taufik, Gade and Jonassen look strong all of them.

*~Taufik~*

you're the man, taufik!:D:D

No TV broadcast for quarter final. You may not have much luck to get the video unless someone record the show personally.

Like to see Taufik overcome quarter and re-setup the game with Lin dan at semi.

Two of my favorite singles players... head to head. Thier olympic meeting was pretty exciting! I want to watch this game too :crying: :crying: Are there DVDs you can buy from this tournament? I would pay a mint for a few

This game is going to be ridongculous!! I wish I was there to see it! I want to see Fu break the smash record again! 400 km/h!!! one day...

I predict Lundgaard and Martin winning, but I want China to win :).

I apologize if ive got this wrong, but dont you mean Martin Lundgaard and Jens Eriksen? Martin and Lundgaard are the same person I thought.

Taufik is one of the best players in the world, hope he will win.

06-30-2005, 08:51 PM

You are wrong .... He not the best players in the world ... if he the best player in the world then he can be win LIN DAN ..... but this time i think mostly peter will win Taufik

Taufik is one of the best players in the world, hope he will win.

red00ecstrat

06-30-2005, 09:14 PM

he is one of the best ok? "ONE OF THE BEST" ;) ;)
his movement, the way he smashs is so smooth and beautiful. that's a bit better than lin dan from my eyes.

06-30-2005, 09:15 PM

No Malaysians :crying:

This year's QFinals lineup closely matches the seedings.

MS
1 Lin v 9 Ng Wei (predict Lin 80%)
3 Gade v 8 Taufik (Gade 55%)
5 Bao v unseeded Lee HI (Lee HI 55%)
2 Jonassen v 7 Chen Hong (Jonassen 55%)
And who are the missing seeds? Malaysians Lee CW and Hafiz :crying:

WS
1 Xie v 8 Zhou (Xie 75%)
unseeded Jiang v unseeded Nedeltcheva (Jiang 60%)
unseeded Mia v 3 Pi (Mia 55%)
2 Zhang v 5 Wang Chen (Zhang 75%)
Missing seeds are Xu, Yao Jie and Hallam. WS more unpredictable than MS??

MD
1 Eriksen/Lundgaard v 5 Cai/Fu (Chinese 70%)
4 Candra/Sigit v unseeded Flandi/Eng (50-50)
3 Paaske/Rasmussen v 7 Jung/Lee (50-50)
2 Luluk/Alven v 6 Boe/Mogensen (Indons 70%)
Again the missing seed are Malaysians - Chan/Koo :crying:

WD
1 Yang/Zhang v 6 Saralee/Sathinee (Chinese 60%)
3 Gao/Huang v 5 Andersen/Schjoldager (Chinese 80%)
8 Chin/Wong v unseeded Novita/Polii (50-50)
2 Wei/Zhao v 7 Zhang/Zhang (Wei/Zhao 75%)
Korean Lees lost to Indons yesterday. I watched that match. Lee Kyung Won seems either too tired or too sick. Lee Hyo Jung is clumsy at the net; she should stay at the back where her smashes are more effective than Kyung Won. But the Indons are feisty. Reminds me of Saralee/Sathinee but a smaller version (yes, they are even smaller). If I haven't watched yesterday's match, I would have assumed Chin/Wong to win today as a given, but now I know it will be an interesting fight.

XD
1 Robertson/Emms v 6 Sudket/Saralee (English 75%)
4 Chen/Zhao v 5 Widianto/Natsir (Indons 60%)
3 Eriksen/Schjoldager v unseeded Clark/Kellogg (Danes 80%)
2 Zhang/Gao v unseeded Xie/Zhang (Zhang/Gao 80%)
Missing seeds are English Blair/Munt who lost to fellow English Clark/cereal and Koreans Lee/Lee who lost to Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen

Just that slight edge. I watched Gade play Shon and watched Taufik play Simon Santoso, and that's the way I feel right now. Of course, when I match starts, you never know. I'll be there :D

Today is either Day 3 or Day 5 (if you include the qualifying rounds). In future I think it is better to say QuarterFinals Day. Less confusion.

07-01-2005, 01:38 AM

I fear there will be an all-chinese ms final -given the 2 previous disappointing finals at all -england and japan between lin dan and chen hong -there is no reason for chinese players to play at full strength and lose energy for the malaysian open - I therefore hope that peter/taufik/kenneth makes it to the final

Wong8Egg

How come no body predicts Kenneth Jonassen wins over Chen Hong? He is the former champs of the SP open and he is doing pretty good lately.

Regardless, it's a potentially great match. As they have shown before, Jens/Martin know exactly what they need to do beat Fu/Cai. The question is: are they in good enough form to do it?

You are right! God bless to the winner of Tafik vs Gade for saving some energy for Lin Dan
the danger is that whoever wins will have no energy left for lin dan!

thats sooo amazing, if anybody saw the time they'd expect a 3 setter, but 2 games in 96 minutes is just crazy! must be some sort of record for longest straight games win.

Taufik and Gade always have good hard matches. both have so much natural talent, Gade's experience makes up for Taufik's speed and fitness..

i doubt taufik will be in a fit state to take on lin dan now. we'll see..

as much as i like lindan but i do agree that chinese dominance makes the game boring.
so i hope to see more non-chinese players

Yes, I guess now its Lin vs Taufik chapter 3, funny that it took a few years for their 1st meeting, and now thy clashed 3 times within around 1/2 year

Wow. Sometimes it's almost unfair that there has to be a winner in each match. :eek:

Still, like I said before about JR/Lars: the WC is over a month away.
If Taufik's peaking now he's done something wrong in preparation! :D :p :rolleyes:

Woooooooowwww! 96 mins, 2 sets, gade and taufik

wow, that must have been really good, people who watched are so lucky, i had to stuck with only live score (well, still good tho, since i didnt know that there was live score), oh, it must have been good!:D

anyway, what gao/huang did to danish pair was 'astonishing' i never knew that something like that could happen between world top 5 pairs:eek:
anyway mag, how is that unfair?

Well, matches like that (Taufik/Gade) is as close as you can get to a "draw" in badminton. ;) But, of course, one player has to win. And that match wasn't broadcasted -- it just makes me soooo frustrated knowing that I won't get to see it...

Regarding the WD whitewash: Gao/Huang did NOT meet a world top 5 pair, mind you. Mette/Brita is a new constellation formed after Rikke Olsen quit playing internationally recently. This was their first tournament together. Still, 0 and 0 is pretty heavy... It's a result that's *very* rare, especially in doubles. I guess it shows how few mistakes Gao/Huang make.

As per IBF record, he was ranking-1 for man single during 19 to 26 Feb 2004 before Lindan took over.

how come they were seeded 5 then? was it due to mette's XD ranking?

I'm happy to see that Boe/Mogensen are producing quality badminton at the moment. They just whacked Luluk/Yulianto 15-9, 15-6! Perhaps it's *finally* time for Carsten Mogensen to climb the podium in a big event? ;)

And Lee Hyun Il is a class player. I don't see why everybody is so surprised about his wins?

agree with u, he was once world no.1 racing against Chen Hong.

kyiyu

07-01-2005, 08:09 AM

You are right. He was at top 5 during late 2003 to early 2004. But he almost disappeared thereafter (injuries???) and played even in some sattlelite games recently. I guess that make serveral people to unaware of him.

No, that doesn't come into it. The organizers have obviously allowed Brita to replace Rikke without re-seeding the tournament. Quite odd, when you think about it. I didn't even know that was allowed in big tournaments!

HaWwW Poor Gade...

Seems that Taufik found the key to always beat Gade. Almost all his won has been done recently.

Gade and Taufik are my favourite player. Why do they always clash so early :crying:

I just hope Taufik will recover fast enough against a fast and furious Lin Dan.

Oh and by looking at the score I'm so happy to see LHI back to his form^^

Aiyaa.... I have mixed feelings... I don't know who is eriksen/lungaard until a Thomas Cup finals (forgot which one), the time they came back to win over Indonesia's second MD,and Jens is so tall, that time I began to like them.. but Cai-Fu is your favourites, more than fav, ur loves. while I watch Choong-Lee since I was in secondary school.

hello all,
just came back from Indonesia/S'pore and was able to watch 2 days of action. Quite a nice venue, heard Kwun went there last year??with his wife&mother-in-law??although IMO, they could've done better organizing with the transportation service. Well, at least the taxis are more common there than in the L.A. area...

I've captured a few shots, albeit from long-distance to share with you guys....There are several pics which shows the outside lounge area where all the vendors and food/snacks are sold...
The MD match between JEriksen and MLHansen was really wonderful. The seniors really showed their experience and poise in handling the young Cai and Fu..

Met also with tama-aki(Aki) also at the stadium and went to fill up our stomach after the QF day session...:).

Enjoy...:).
