My predictions:

The winners are:

Ms : Xia Xuanze :p
Ws : Zhu Lin :rolleyes: She is the next rising star.
Md : Jung Jae-sung/Lee Young-dae (they are danger)
Wd : Zhang Dan/Zhao Tingting (they have same quality as Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen)
Xd : Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms (no doubt), it's a good preparation for All England...

I think currently Chinese has many strong Wd players such as Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen, Gao Ling/Huang Sui, Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen, Zhang Dan/Zhao Tingting, Du JIng/Yu Yang. The fact will cause difficulties for another country to compete. The very close competitors are Lee Kw/Lee Hj from Korea and Reiko Shiota/Kumiko Ogura from Japan.

We can see that Lee Kw/Lee Hj has already beaten by Chinese pair number 4 in the semifinal.

I thought I was wrong that i predicted Jung Jae-sung/Lee Young-dae as finalists, even though I made most my predictions right :rolleyes:

wonder what are the chances for LCW to win his first title of the year...xia is really scaring me..

Anyone knows if there is live broadcast in Indon? In lativi perhaps? What time are the matches?

If not my mistake, the MD final should be Boe Mathias/Mogensen Carsten vs Chan Chong Meng/Koo Kien Kiat.

My prediction the winner for MS is Lee Chong wei :)

Predictions

MS: Lee CW (60%)
I expect a close match. I think it depends on Lee's form. If his form is good, he should be able to beat Xia.

WS: Zhu Lin (60%)
I think Zhu may already be the third singles player for China (deposing Zhou Mi).

MD: Boe/Mogensen (70%)
If Boe/Mogensen withdraws from the final, it will be the easiest title for Chan/Koo ever.

WD: Du/Yu (60%)
My gut feeling says Du/Yu.

XD: Robertson/Emms (80%)
I don't require my gut feeling for this.

wonder what are the chances for LCW to win his first title of the year...xia is really scaring me..

I still believe Lee Chong Wei will win the title eventhough Xia is on fire in this tourney, unless LCW is off-form today. That is my prediction for MS:)

Does anyone know when will finals begin?

Predictions

MS: Lee CW (60%)
I expect a close match. I think it depends on Lee's form. If his form is good, he should be able to beat Xia.
how ironic it is that you had 90% confidence yesterday that gade would win against xia xuanze, but today you expect a Close match between chong wei and xxz:rolleyes: and that 'if his form is Good, he Should be able to beat Xia.':rolleyes:

how ironic it is that you had 90% confidence yesterday that gade would win against xia xuanze, but today you expect a Close match between chong wei and xxz:rolleyes: and that 'if his form is Good, he Should be able to beat Xia.':rolleyes:

Why should it be ironic (BTW an overused and often misused word)? Today is another day, and if Xia can beat Gade (whose form I think is good), it changes the whole complexion. If we do not have the benefit of watching the matches, we can only guess from the preceding results.

My prediction goes to :

MS : Lee Chong Wei
(though I think it will be a tough match against Xia)

WS : Xu Huaiwen
(She has more experience, but seems also be a hard and tough match)

MD : Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat
(I hope they can perform better and better)

WD : Zhang Dan/Zhao Tingting

XD : Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms

Why should it be ironic (BTW an overused and often misused word)? Today is another day, and if Xia can beat Gade (whose form I think is good), it changes the whole complexion. If we do not have the benefit of watching the matches, we can only guess from the preceding results.then, all the more curiosity as to why if you were Guessing, you had 90% confidence that xia would fall to Gade. after all you haven't had the chance to watch..

I'll take one of the Malaysian to win. Malaysia boleh!:D
Hopefully a clean sweep.
rgds

then, all the more curiosity as to why if you were Guessing, you had 90% confidence that xia would fall to Gade. after all you haven't had the chance to watch..

So I guessed wrongly. What's the big deal?

WD: Du/Yu bt Zhang/Zhao - 15-5, 10-15, 15-11

hehe - nice work hcyong, think your gut feeling could be very dangerous in betting circles - i doubt that du/yu were expected to beat Dan/TT

good win for the new pair.

Coops

personally i don't think Zhao TT shows enough "fire" in her matches. Obviously she wants to win....but i'll bet there was more hi-fives and fist pumping from Du and Yu today:o

Xuanze must be ZZZZzzzZZzzzing!
Already 8-0 :o

Xia just lost fire over Lee, perhaps he is too afraid of Lee haha!

it's no surprise that Lee will win because Li Mao coaches him and Li Mao was the person behind Xia's success.

9-0 what's going on???

Xuanze must be ZZZZzzzZZzzzing!
Already 8-0 :o

Nevermind lah, you still have Chen Jin to beat Lee Chong Wei! Let him sleep lah... :p

dear xuanze.. please wake up.. 13:crying: -0

9-0 what's going on???
I think xia just abit nervous...
But its an awesome effort making it to the final... ever since after his career drought!
I am sure we will be seeing him more in action this year!

15-0.... kinda wish xia lost to peter now

xuanze lost... 15-0 aiks aiks aiks...

Xia is in the process of coming back, but Lee has yet to reach his peak yet ...

15-8 15-0

well a very convincing win indeed...

It's all over now, congrats to my LCW!! He won 15:8, 15:0

True, haha... Hope he will show more improvement in 2006:)

well done Lee...

LCW WIN !!!! LCW today's skill had reach World class and is the same Level with LIN DAN & Taufik...
Why not Bao, cause in 6 meeting with Bao. All is won by LCW, so i will said his level is the same with LIN & Taufik..

Any 1 have this match final for LCW pls upload it many many thanks..

Victory is almost there so Jia You LCW!

xuanze lost... 15-0 aiks aiks aiks...

You got that right yannie, Xia is sleeping! I don't think he cant even score a point in 2nd set, or else LCW is too good to sha sha sha... :)

15-0... Lee is too good for Xia.

YES! YES! YES!
MALAYSIA BOLEH!

15:8, 15-0

Another Malaysian hero, Lee Chong Wei.

i just think lee's speed on court was the deciding factor. he is just superbly fast and with his deceptive shots...it is really hard to play him if he is on form...i guess Xia's stamina couldn't last that speed for the entire two sets...

it was common to see Xia out of breath even during his prime.

so whats next? all finished?

Womens Singles?

so whats next? all finished?

Sorry, it should be WS

Do you understand what the word "jia you" means? :D

Do you understand what the word "jia you" means? :D

It means "add oil" in Chinese/Mandarin!

CCM and KKK sends their regards.

My congrats to Team Malaysia for an excellent performance in Swiss Open. They came with mind set on 2 titles (MS and MD) and won them both. I guess the MD match between CCM/KKK and Boe/Mogensen showed to us that the old scoring system's advantage over the new one. Its almost impossible for a pair to come back from 8/14 down in the rubber set and won the match eventually if the new rally system is used.

I guess I will still stick with the old scoring system for doubles. That will make the match more exciting and nail-biting to watch.

Do you understand what the word "jia you" means? :D

don't u think i know when i use the word this often?

h0p3 malaysia can do better when all those BIG GUNS are there.. :D

Jia you is like giving motivation and to cheer up their fighting spirit and never give up, never surrender attitude. Of course there are may other meanings, you just have to name them.

Go Zhu Lin!!!!!!!! Jia you jia you jia you!!

h0p3 malaysia can do better when all those BIG GUNS are there.. :D

There are BIG GUNS here in SO! Only thing the bigger guns are not here! :)

There are BIG GUNS here in SO! Only thing the bigger guns are not here! :)

Hahah very true. Buy hey.. have to give credit to them for winning the tourney.

arghhhh,i'm toooooooo late!!!:crying: :crying:
well,congratulations to ccm,kkk,and lcw for winning the title.....
Malaysia Boleh!:D

the old scoring system's advantage over the new one. Its almost impossible for a pair to come back from 8/14 down in the rubber set and won the match eventually if the new rally system is used.

I don't think so. I remenbered Jiang Jialiang beat a Sweden player by 22:20 in MS event final of 1989 Table Tennis Championships while Jiang was down to that Sweden player 16:20. And so did Liu Guozheng in 2001 TT Championships, he beat a Koren plyer by 25:23 in MT SF while Liu was down to that koren player 17:20, 18:20, 19:20, 20:21, 21:22, 22:23.

Xu Huaiwen won 11-9, 11-4 against Zhu Lin

I don't think so. I remenbered Jiang Jialiang beat a Sweden player by 22:20 in MS event final of 1989 Table Tennis Championships while Jiang was down to that Sweden player 16:20.

I think comeback is still possible but much much harder..... :D .. if there are some0ne who has the ability to come back from 20-0 down sure become a legend..:rolleyes:

Xu bt Zhu 11-9, 11-4

Bad day for China Team - lost in both MS & WS.

Jia you is like giving motivation and to cheer up their fighting spirit and never give up, never surrender attitude. Of course there are may other meanings, you just have to name them.

"Jia You" is equivalent to "come on" in English in a sport perspective.:)

I am late and missed all the fun. Glad to know Malaysia won two titles. It is fun to follow the matches on the net with you guys-- the multinational virtual spectators! Keep it up guys...

i just think lee's speed on court was the deciding factor. he is just superbly fast and with his deceptive shots...it is really hard to play him if he is on form...i guess Xia's stamina couldn't last that speed for the entire two sets...

it was common to see Xia out of breath even during his prime.

Both are very aggresive explosive player that uses stamina and agility to outplay their opponents! The deciding factor is still deception I reckon...
Xia is too direct... he is fast and he doesn't change the tempo of his game...
It is always fast and hard rallies... guess that explains why he ran out of gas

It's all over now, congrats to my LCW!! He won 15:8, 15:0

amsads, where you watch this LIVE ah? i'm waiting for whole night but Astro got no LIVE wor? :(

Xu bt Zhu 11-9, 11-4

Bad day for China Team - lost in both MS & WS.

china had only sent team B, no big worry :p

I am glad that the Malaysians have won the MS and MD.

But the real test is at the All England. Cannot be too complacent.

Lcw is truly a committed professional player which all up and coming junior players should emulate.One aspect of his game,which is undeniably remarkable,is that heshowsnomercy.He has given ducks to Taufik and Xia.Malaysian players generally tend to take things lightly wheneyer they have a big lead.This sometimes they have to pay dearly.If all malaysian players can have this attitude then only we can stand a chance to wrest back the Thomas cup.Anyway congrats Lcw and KKK/CCM.LCW u have made Kim Hock's job easier.Now he doesnt have to crack his head over the choice of the single player to represent Malaysia in the commonwealth games.

Lee Chong Wei is the man to watch out this season...he is now at par with Lin Dan and Taufik...Go LCW!!!

too sad to hear brother BIG MOUTH lost to LCW by 0-15 in 2nd set....:crying: :crying: :crying:

Lee Chong Wei is the man to watch out this season...he is now at par with Lin Dan and Taufik...Go LCW!!!
I think Chong Wei still need to win consistently in the world stage before consider on par with lin dan & taufik. :rolleyes:

I think Chong Wei still need to win consistently in the world stage before consider on par with lin dan & taufik. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/vb/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

My gut feeling is that Taufik isn't so consistent either. In the last 12 months, the only consistent player among the top guns in MS is Lin Dan.

I hope these matches are showing somewhere and someone is recording them ...

My gut feeling is that Taufik isn't so consistent either. In the last 12 months, the only consistent player among the top guns in MS is Lin Dan.

Taufil is clearly not a consistent player. But he is the one who wins when it counts!

oh my goodness please can we dont start this topic again

oh my goodness please can we dont start this topic again

agree. potentially become hot topic again and cause this thread to get locked. so better not in this thread.

oh my goodness please can we dont start this topic again

Not, you all missed my point. My point was that LCW's inconsistency shouldn't be the only reason that makes some of you consider him not on par with Taufik and Lin Dan. LCW is clearly among the Top-5 in the world and the skill gaps between these 5 guys are small.

agreed!! the skill gap is definately very small among those top players, is the mentality and form on the day that counts. I think Lin Dan got quite high self confidence, while taufik is so cool on the court & this is the area LCW need to improve on. :rolleyes:

Malaysia BAGUS!

Do you mean like a clutch hitter in MLB? Pinch hit with a winning run on 3rd base?Taufil is clearly not a consistent player. But he is the one who wins when it counts!

Do you mean like a clutch hitter in MLB? Pinch hit with a winning run on 3rd base?

:confused::confused::confused:
I didn't understand a word! :o
what is "clutch"? what is "MLB"? what is "pinch hit"? ...............
"winning run on 3rd base" => is this about baseball? :confused: (if so sorry I don't enough about it to understand what you are saying)
