hope candra/sigit will win ya... ghee...

I think china will get four titles at least.

I'm sure this will be a hot topic.

Lin Dan - From 1st round till quarter final, no problem at all. In semi-finals, he met Peter Gade, he did many mistakes in 1st set, then the coming sets he solved them easily.

Lee Chong Wei - He's the championship holder for this badminton open. After having easy matches in 1st and 2nd round, he did great job in quarter finl too, by beating Singapore Open champion - Taufik Hidayat. During semi-finals, facing Bao Chun Lai, he won 11-15, 15-12 and 15-9.

Who is your choice for this year Malaysian Open Champion?

My Choice --- Lee Chong Wei

yeahhh, i agree v u, LCW improve a lot since he is under Li Mao,
his smash really powerful and furious even his speed

Robertson and Emms are struggling at the moment..They lost to a Thai pair in the QF of the SO and now to an up-and-coming Chinese pair in the SF...Sure they've reached the Semis for the 1st time since winning @ Swiss Open this past March, but from what i see, I have a feeling with the departure of Rexy, it could affect the way they are playing...Furthermore, it seemed like they are struggling playing out in Asian countries(well most European players are)..
Come WC, eventhough playing in the U.S., if they don't prepare well, they might not even win that one as well..

By the looks of things, come end of Finals it could be an all China sweep...Unless the Koreans, Malaysian, and Indos play hard and pull one, two or three out.. :rolleyes:

OF course, Lin Dan ,no doubt!

I think the brits were playing badly these last 2 days because of what happened in London...it probably affected their concentration a little bit or something to that effect.

HI HI....I bet LIN DAN
Go LIN DAN !!!

For Lee Chong Wei, the strategy is simple when go against Lin Dan : full assault. Taufik has shown us the way to neutralize Lin Dan attack, force Lin Dan to lift or drive to his back hand then attack him. Can Chong Wei sustain the attack for the whole duration is the quesiotn(we know Peter Gade unable to sustain for his age)

Agreed. it's hard to concentrate on anything when your city is under attack, Nathan and Emms is still #1 mix double in my book.

I can't wait for the results of the men's singles. I hope Lin Dan wins this one after the upsetting spore open. :crying:

I dont think the factor is age if we discus the reason why Gade lost today. He has beaten 4 world class players on his way to the semi final and one day played against roslin and Wong. Thats tough stuff and Lin Dan on the other hand got a WO and a easier draw. Before the match he was fresh and Gade tired... I think LCW has a fair chance tomorrow. Taufik and Gade has shown how to troble Lin, by attacking him constantly and not lifting the shuttle high

i have a feeling lin dan will win...as usual..

Well, in any tournaments nowadays, there are really only 3 titles in competition. Just forget about the Womens Games.

Well, in any tournaments nowadays, there are really only 3 titles in competition. Just forget about the Womens Games.

This is not a recent development. It has been like that for a long time. In fact, it was only recently that the Chinese women were challenged.

Well, in any tournaments nowadays, there are really only 3 titles in competition. Just forget about the Womens Games.

Haha...what to do man.Those Chinese are damn good in womens category.How many years do you all think other countries need to spend to catch up with the Chinese gals quality?I was there in the semifinal yesterday, seems like all the spectators only bother about mix doubles,mens single and double games.When came to the gals game,the spectators looked like very boring including me ....
For my prediction cum wishes(hehe..):
MS - Chong Wei
MD - Chandra/Sigit

XD: It will be atight game but opt for Lee Hyo Jung/Lee Jae Jin (Kor)
WS: It will go toZhang Ning (Chn) with her superiorty,
MS: Lin Dan (Chn) who almost never lost to others in recent except his countryman and Taufik.
WD: World ranking will prevail. Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen (Chn).
MD: Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng (Chn) - close one but I pick Chn pair.

mines the same as kyiyu except that it would be lee chong wei and candra sigit instead

Im Hoping for Lee and Lee To win XD, Lee Chong Wei For MS, and Candra Sigit for MD.

Every final has at least one chinese player, so im voting for the lesser evil
hahah

go Korea/Malaysia/Indonesia

Except 2 Koreans and Sigit, all the rest are Chinese.
That is , 13 out of 16. :D
again, out of 10, 7 r CHN.

The results of the finals are just killing me. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and hear the results. =)

Sunzhi, all of us on the forums thank you for your great work keeping us informed with the latest scoring, so please keep it up for todays games, especially the MS/MD Matches

1st game to the korean 15-12
the chn had big lead 9-4 and sudden crack btw chen and zhao...

CQQ/ZTT getting steamrolled in 2nd set...

5-0 for Koreans

lots of mistakes frm zhao.. korea leading 7-3

1st game to the korean 15-12
the chn had big lead 9-4 and sudden crack btw chen and zhao...


Wow, thats a very fast first set isnt it? So is a korean win on the cards?

Wow, thats a very fast first set isnt it? So is a korean win on the cards?

tht depends on whthr the chn cd get back to the game like they did in the early part of the 1st game... 8-4 to the korea

10-4 kor leading.......

more or less over.. zhao is playing badly.. lots of mistakes.. 11-4

more or less over.. zhao is playing badly.. lots of mistakes.. 11-4


Good Good, Since China already has WS/WD, im hoping for a good show from Lee Chong Wei and Candra Sigit.

12-8 kor leading.....

10-12 chn serves.....

all over.. korea won 15-12, 15-11

what's the score now?

YES!!!!!!!!! korean won mxd!!!!!!!!!

is zhu lin going for an upset win? ;)

is the korean womens XD player wearing a watch??:confused: i didnt know they were allowed to wear watches in international competitions.

Chen/Zhao are pretty good but easily affected and lack of concentration... it happened to them in SO too when they wr in good lead against the Thai pair but lost the match eventually....

zhu's drop shots are amazing... even zhang ning doesn't see it coming

is zhu lin going for an upset win? ;)


unlikely but sure hope so :D
zhu is doing well now, leading 4-1

zhu's drop shots are amazing... even zhang ning doesn't see it coming

yeah right.. very impressive.. 5-1

*clap clap* amazing rally and net retrieve by zhu, bt ended in zhang's favor... 1-5

is the korean womens XD player wearing a watch??:confused: i didnt know they were allowed to wear watches in international competitions.

They are allowed to wear a watch. There isn't any rules or regulation which state that players aren't allowed to wear watch.

*clap clap* amazing rally and net retrieve by zhu, bt ended in zhang's favor... 1-5


go zhu!!! :D she's making a lot of errors now. 6-5 zhang closing in

oh no.. zhu lost rhythm n making more mistakes.. 5-6, zhang serves..

5-6
6-5
5-6
6-5

for 5 mins already... zzzz

ok.. zhang levelled 6-6

5-6
6-5
5-6
6-5

for 5 mins already... zzzz

why zzz?? those are the most exciting moment of a match.

yeah, it's more exciting thn expected... zhang 8-6...
with gong ruina gone and zhou mi plagued with injury, zhu is surely one of the chn player to watch in the future...

10-6.. zhang serves

is the korean womens XD player wearing a watch??:confused: i didnt know they were allowed to wear watches in international competitions.

CWLee also wearing watch when he plays in international game.Yesterday he was wearing a watch too :D

whoa.. zhang wins the first set... i just fixed myself a cup of coffee...

maybe i just had too much to eat for lunch, hence my zzzz ;)

zhang won 11-6....

bah... zhang leads 6-0

:eek: is lee jae jin using the carbonex 30muscle??? i thought he used ti10. hmmm carbonex 30muscle's paint job is very deceiving

zhu seems to be giving up.. 7-0 to zhang...

have to agree... a demolition job like this (zhang ning up 7-0) is more boring than a 5 min stalemate.

go zhu!!! fight fight fight!

dang.. 8-0 for zhang

10-0... don't give up....

she's hitting her shots hear-breakingly wide... like 2 inches out or so.

1-10.. zhu serves........ shd be over once change serve :D

OOOoooo, those close up clips are....*gulp*

thx for all those video captures sunzhi.

What match is coming next?

game over.. zhang won consecutive title after SO in 11-6, 11-2..

OOOoooo, those close up clips are....*gulp*

naughty naughty... :D

OOOoooo, those close up clips are....*gulp*

thx for all those video captures sunzhi.

WD on going.. another chn vs chn... zzzz hehehehe

look at their score line against non-chn oppositions :eek: ... Gao/Huang gave the danes pair of B Anderssen/M Schjoldager 15-0, 15-0 in SO...

time for coffee break :D

time for coffee break :D

Sunzhi: I'm eagerly awaiting your posts. Thanks so much for doing this. :)

I want LCW to win BUT do not see how he can.

not an exciting match.. yang/zhang won 15-6...

I want LCW to win BUT do not see how he can.

i don't think it is impossible. LCW has slowly grown up in the past year. still a bit impatient like all youngsters. he has the best technique than all other Malaysian MS players past years/decades. a very complete player with very sterile techinque like what the Chinese are known for. with proper grooming (ie. Li Mao) i think he will go further than any other Malaysian have gone, and doing it more consistently too.

women's doubles.......... sooooo boring ;(

women's doubles.......... sooooo boring ;(

i am surprised that so many ppl think that way. i watch as much WD as MD. and while they are not as fast, they are as (if not more) tactical. the weaker offensive means that it is hard to penetrate using power alone, they need to start using their smartness on court to manipulate their opponent to expose a hole. if you understand this part, you won't find it boring anymore.

Be happy! At least you can view it. I'm waiting here with bated breath pressing F5 every few minutes. :p

hehe true.... really gotta cherish what we hv got nw :)

anyway, WD goes to Zhang/Yang winning the 2nd game 15-8

i agree kwun -the standard of play is good to watch in LD i think it is the all chinese clashes which helps contribute to the view that the games are boring:)

but there's not much fire in the match...

sigh, did you even read what i wrote?

badminton is not as shallow as just pure "fire"

i agree kwun -the standard of play is good to watch in LD i think it is the all chinese clashes which helps contribute to the view that the games are boring:)
yesh yesh.............

They didn't even smile when they won!:( :eek:

They didn't even smile when they won!:( :eek:

Probaby because it was "boring".

;) :p :D

.......................................

i agree kwun -the standard of play is good to watch in LD i think it is the all chinese clashes which helps contribute to the view that the games are boring:)

in a way it is true. even though from the technical point of view it is interesting like i said, but from the rivalry and fans point of view, there isn't a particular reason to cheer for one side or the other. unlike say, a LinD vs. Taufik match.

the fact that the Chinese WD players are so complete, ie, they can make all the shots with clinical accuracy doesn't help either, as now all the shots quality are really "to the book", and thus winning requires more smartness and consistency, which is not what the average joe badminton watcher can understand. if one is a badminton player, then one should appreciate each shot made in WD, as you can tell that each smash and drop and clear are done for a reason and purpose.

was playing Gran Turismo while LD was going on :D

LD chn vs chn is never exciting for me... but i do root for gao ling and her partner whenever she goes up against other LD pairs from other countries.

nice smiles from both chinese pairs up there on the podium... looks like they were just having fun

MD up next... i dunno who to root for... i like the chinese pair as much as i like candra/sigit :D

let's see sm smiles....

how long more before the single match starts ?

how long more before the singles starts ?

MS is after MD, which is about to start or just started...

MD now...... both pair playing attacking game.. 2-1 to indos

let's see sm smiles....

sunzhi, thanks for all the great pictures. really makes the day for folks like me who only have a computer and no live broadcast!

that's just the thing... watching chn vs chn WD is like watching a "how-to" video... BUT, watching them go up against other nationalities, now that's fun... clobbering time :D

Fu/Cai keep doing same mistake.give high ball.No matter how good
your defence,Smashing part will be at advantages.Don't play like
Msian pair,they always give high ball for people to smash thinking
that thier opponents will wore out.But most of the time,The one who always
attack will prevail.

very exciting match.. candra/sigit won 17-14... the chn md too many mistakes....

i hope their ranking will go up to no.1 after WC.

i think they r no.2 now.

gosh... i thought i was going to have a heart attack...

start of the match, i didn't have a favorite... but as the match progressed, i found myself rooting for candra and sigit. amazing win. whew. i'm glad i rooted for the winner. hahahahahaha.

candra and sigit are in great shape. they may be less explosive as from 3/4 years ago, but they're smarter and more stable now. can't believe they're 29 years old (arguably "retiring" age for asians) and they're still hanging tough like they're 24 or 25 years old. ;)

my girlfriend is sooo happy. her fave, candra won, and her crush, lin dan is up next. hahahaha :D

........................................

Well, So far my predicitons for

XD - Korea
MD - Indonesia

have come true... now... if only Lee Chong Wei Does Malaysia Proud....

Hmm... can someone tell us if he is using his Muscle Power 88 or his NanoSpeed 8000? He was using mp88 agaisnt taufik, and NS8K agaisnt Bao

i hope their ranking will go up to no.1 after WC.

i think they r no.2 now.
Dont know how Indon train their player,all very good in smash since
the old day of Lim Swee King,Kartono,Icuk Sugairto,Christian
Hadinata,Haryanto Arbi,Rexy and Ricky....and many-many more

wow, congrats to candra/sigit! :D

gd luck to lcw for the match next. I hope he defends his title successfully :)

Atually i am like others vivit badminton die hard fan.Very2 frustrated
with Singapore media,never-never quick in reporting the badminton news.
They only reporting Gold,Tenis and Soccer.Especially the newspaper,the worst
and i think they only think Soccer and Golf is expensive game,Look at our
Singapore soccer team.Only few Katek running around the field.
All the have to depand on foreign player yet talk big about local football
what 2012-2015 vision,I think they will never achive it.I think if our govt
put more money on local badminto development,it will be more realistic

good luck, chong wei................:)

now time to concentrate on MS....

awesome pictures sunzhi, keep em coming!

congrats to sigit/candra for 2 titles in a row! next up WC!!!:D

Want to crack LCW ? play slow game

hey guys on the TV, how is LCW's condition? is he tired?

and how's Lin's condition? will LCW still be able to pull through? as far as i concerned, his stamina is not as good as Lin.

i wish he will.

not yet. he's to win this match. if he wins, it'll certainly be gr8 but lin is a tough nut to crack. I'll be happy to see him losing the match. ;)

Ya,it is true,You either faster than Lcw or keep it very slow then
you will win him..btw,now is 1-4

i'm exhausted just watching these two play...

0-4, time out, lcw to serve.

a mammoth game, so far. lets see if this 2nd set will be as monumental as the first.

1-4
2-4 lcw scoring now

lee has to win this game coz his stamina can't fight Lin's.

Lin trains his stamina in the military. surely strong.

Ya,it is true,You either faster than Lcw or keep it very slow then
you will win him..btw,now is 1-4
Lee just miss a smash.he got it back 2-4
