MS predictions

Lin Dan bt Wong Choong Hann (maybe only just, Lin has to buck up)
Kenneth Jonassen bt Sairul Amar Ayob
Lee Chong Wei bt Wu Yunyong
Chen Hong bt Yeoh Kay Bin
Chen Jin bt Boonsak
Peter Gade bt Ng Wei
Lee Hyun Il bt Kuan Beng Hong
Shoji Sato bt Joachim Persson

Match of the day: Lin v Wong because Lin has been lacklustre but maybe he is just not fired up yet; Wong is no ordinary opponent and Lin knows that

WS predictions
There will be two rounds played today, R32 and R16. I will only make the R16 predictions.

Zhang Ning bt J Schenck
Eriko Hirose bt N Weckstrom
Lu Lan bt Pi Hongyan
Cheng Shao-Chieh bt P Overzier (Cheng has to get past Hallam first)
Mia bt Jiang Yanjiao
Wang Chen bt Yu Hirayama (Yu v Grether could be a struggle)
Xu Huaiwen bt Wong Mew Choo (or Tine Rasmussen; Wong v Tine interesting)
Xie Xingfang bt Koari Mori (Mori v Seo Yoon Hee also interesting)

Somehow, the WS has become harder to predict than MS.
Match of the day: Lu Lan v Pi Hongyan, Lu has won twice over Pi, will Pi let it be three times in a row?

Match of the day: Lu Lan v Pi Hongyan, Lu has won twice over Pi, will Pi let it be three times in a row?

If I am not mistaken, the person is Zhu Lin not Lu Lan.

MD predictions
Two rounds to be played today, R32 and R16.

First quarter
Candra/Sigit v Choong/Lee in R32 has to be match of the round. It is an intriguing match between arguably the best pairs from Malaysia and Indonesia. I think it's 50-50, but if I have to choose the winner, it will be Candra/Sigit, world number 1.
Still not sure if Chan Chong Ming will recover sufficiently to play; if not he will be replaced by Chew Choon Eng. Either way, they should have no problems getting past the Scots but Jung JS/Lee YD is another matter. I think (good recent performance by Koreans) + (inconsistent Malaysians) + (CCM sick; maybe replaced by Chew) = (win for Koreans). The Koreans will be moderately tested first by the Thai second pair.
Candra/Sigit bt Masuda/Ohtsuka
Jung JS/Lee YD bt Koo KK/Chan CM or Chew CE

Second quarter
Cai/Fu bt Lin/Fairuz
Boe/Mogensen bt Laybourn/Paaske (interesting, this one)

Third quarter
Rasmussen/Steffensen bt Gan/Zakry (hard one to predict)
Luluk/Alven bt Sudket/Patapol

Fourth quarter
Guo/Xie is the favourite has Jung TK/Lee JJ because the Koreans have not been showing good results. If they pass the Koreans, I think they have an even chance against Kido/Markis.
There is also an interesting one between Eriksen/Lundgaard and Tan BS/Ong SH.
Guo/Xie bt Markis/Kido
Eriksen/Lundgaard bt Popov/Stoyanov or Langridge/Tonks

what happen to shon of korea (MS)?

Shon lost to Yeah Kay Bin. 15- something and 17-16

If I am not mistaken, the person is Zhu Lin not Lu Lan.

Maybe I am wrong (not too bothered to check). Anyhow, whether Lu Lan or Zhu Lin, it will be a good fight against Pi.

Final:
Chandra vs Markin / hendra

Winner: Chandra / Sigit

Match of the day: Lu Lan v Pi Hongyan, Lu has won twice over Pi, will Pi let it be three times in a row?

Prediction;

Lin Dan vs Chen Hong
Peter vs Lee H Ill

Final:
LD vs Peter ==> Lindan
CH vs Peter ==> Peter
LD vs Lee ==> Lindan
CH vs Lee ==> CH

If I am not mistaken, the person is Zhu Lin not Lu Lan.

Yes, it is Zhu Lin who just beat Pi Hongyan twice in a row.

Lu Lan has never beaten Pi Hongyan as far as I know. (but today could be the first time...)

Sorry Ben, my sarcastic wit looks to have gone over your head. I thought it was funny, but perhaps nobody else did.. I'm sure you were actually talking about Jonas Rasmussen (otherwise known as 'our' JR), who indeed made it to the semi's with Rikke Olsen.

The much anticipated match between Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto and Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah has just begun. The top seed off to a flying start, leading 7-0 in 6 mins.

The score is tighter now, with Candra/Sigit still leading 8-3 (13 mins) .

anyway, the livescore stucks again

any updates from u all?

In the other court, Luluk/Alvent is also leading Archer/Lindley 4-2.

This is the worst livescore I've ever seen..

I already saw people win games with 18-4 and sh*t like that..

(Sh*t is an accepted English word here in Holland ;))

as expected, candra/sigit won 15-9

Sigit/Candra won 15-9

See...I'm just too slow :crying:

Candra/Sigit takes the first set 15-9 (26 mins).

their head-to-head records favour the indon pair also.

It's pretty tight between Luluk/Alvent and Archer/Lindley. The Indonesian pair has a slender lead, 7-6 (13 mins)

Malaysian pair leading 7-4 now!

How come you already see the score as 7-6?!?
Whaha you were talking about another match,..sorry :D

Archer/Lindley takes the lead, 10-7 :cool:

It's now 12-7 to the England pair. Wake up Luluk/Alvent!

Luluk/Alvent has a good start in the second set. They lead 5-0 (28 mins gone).

1-0 to malaysian

the MD korean pair are frashing the thai pair in the 2nd game

We'll keep you posted man ;)

Indons close gap to 10-13, Malaysia retake serve.

Archer/Lindley now leads 13-11. Luluk/Alven is still mentally weak and inconsistent :mad:

It's possible that Team Indonesia's only remaining pair by the end of the day is Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir.

Not a good start of the year it has been for Team Indonesia.

any updates? They won?it was written no match available now?

Its over....... Msia won.....

haiz... wat an upset!! I thought Candra/Sigit will make it !!! :(

any updates? They won?


yes they won...cause the live scoring doesn't show their match anymore...yay!!!!

What happened...I guess the Malaysian won?!? right?!?

Yup they won...quite a surprising end f this match I'd say :rolleyes:

Luluk/Alven11-13

any updates? They won?it was written no match available now?

Yes, 15-10. Your food must have helped them.

yeah!!!congratulations to CTF/LWW,who will they meet at the next round?

Its over....... Msia won.....

haiz... wat an upset!! I thought Candra/Sigit will make it !!! :(

It's not really an upset. Any match between Indonesia and Malaysia can go one way or another. Yet another bad day for Team Indonesia.

We can kiss goodbye to the MD title. Unless Luluk/Alvent can win today, otherwise, it's virtually impossible for Markis/Hendra to win the title.

Luluk/Alven12-13

It's not really an upset. Any match between Indonesia and Malaysia can go one way or another. Yet another bad day for Team Indonesia.

yah... i know... I'm upset, rather!!.. :(

Team Indonesia hasnt really been up to it in this yr's AE... First Sony, now Candra/Sigit... :( :(

HAHA! i was praying so hard for them just now

woooww... Outstanding LWW/CTF !!!! :cool:
I hope I can watch this match ...................

Anyone know where can we download the match?

yah... i know... I'm upset, rather!!.. :(

I was already disappointed when Taufik did not attend AE, now Candra/Sigit shown the exit on the very 1st match... :crying: :crying: :crying:

Sorry they are still playing

Hmm....Luluk/Alvent take the second set 15-13.

at least PBSI can save some money because they can go home early :D :D

Not to say that ..... we hope to watch great matches between great players.
Emmm... but it's true also. PBSI can also save money for rewarding their player who wins the title.

puhhH.
luluk/alven won 2nd

what?! Luluk/Alven lost??really dissapointed with them....

A real "excellent" start by Team Indonesia. Most will pack their bags by end of the day.

exactly......think positively that hopefully this is the right time for PBSI will learn their lesson, see what happen to the other MD or XD.

Wow Luluk/Alven won the 2nd game 15-13, another 3setter for indonesia

com'on LULUK & ALVEN!!

congratulations chong/lee! keep up the momentum. so far, the competition is getting more exciting. i like to see upsets, especially over those with No.1 tag.:p

hmm.. i'm torn.. should i be supporting england even tho i'm really not an Archer fan, or should i be supporting Luluk / Alven.

hmm..

hmm...

hm...................


England it is.. Lindlely must be playing a blinder with the old man :)

Coops

PS.. plus it'd be great to see another seed go out at such an early stage..
after this we just need Ong / Tan to beat Eriksen / Lundgaard.. :)

Luluk/Alvent leads 8-4 in the final set. Change of court now.

It's absolutely possible. I support the young Malaysian pairs of Tan/Ong, Mohd Fairuzizuan/Lin, and Mohd Zakry/Gan.

10-7 to Alven/luluk. When is the match betw Tan/Ong aginst danes?

Luluk/Alvent should maintain their pressure on the England pair. They now lead 10-7. It's still tight and close.

Luluk/Alvent leads 8-4 in the final set. Change of court now.

Come on England!!!

10-7 to Luluk / Alven

at least make it go over 90 minutes.. BCers across the worlds demand an epic match!! :D

It's absolutely possible. I support the young Malaysian pairs of Tan/Ong, Mohd Fairuzizuan/Lin, and Mohd Zakry/Gan.


tan/ong n fairuzizuan/lin are good pairs but their always inconsistent...they can trouble any pair at their peak...fairuz/lin has always given trouble to cai yun/fu haifeng..and they've beaten them..
mohd zakry/gan are the most improved pair this year...

10-9 alr. what happens to alven/luluk?

Come on England!!!

10-7 to Luluk / Alven

at least make it go over 90 minutes.. BCers across the worlds demand an epic match!! :D

10-9 - only 4 minutes to the magic figure!!!

mohd zakry/gan are the most improved pair this year...

I agree. They have improved a lot in the past 1 year. Meanwhile, Tan/Ong and Mohd Fairuzizuan/Lin have yet to shown their best and win their first grand prix titles.

Malaysia's best pair is still Choong/Lee. Despite 3 titles under their belt, CCM/KKK is very very erratic. They still can improve though....

10-9 - only 4 minutes to the magic figure!!!

It's now 12-9 to the Indo pair. Keeping my fingers crossed......

12-9 to the indons

10-9 alr. what happens to alven/luluk?

i don't think anything happened to them.. i just think archer and lindley are a pair with some serious firepower - remember Archer used to hold the speed record (even if it was a long time ago.... ) and Lindley is no fairy either :)

I agree. They have improved a lot in the past 1 year. Meanwhile, Tan/Ong and Mohd Fairuzizuan/Lin have yet to shown their best and win their first grand prix titles.

Malaysia's best pair is still Choong/Lee. Despite 3 titles under their belt, CCM/KKK is very very erratic. They still can improve though....

and i think that Indonesia's best pair is still candra/sigit.more skillful than alven/luluk.

10-9 - only 4 minutes to the magic figure!!!

It's unbelievable. Luluk/Alvent should have wrapped up the match in less than an hr. Now, it will definitely stretch to over 90 mins.

ayoo luluk/alven finish the game.. 89 min now...

it is 13-9 now.don't worry.

It's 13-9 to Luluk/Alvent. 2 more points for a very hard-earned victory.

livescore sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

In the other court, the new pairing of Jonas Rasmussen/Peter Steffensen thrashed Colin Hill/Keith Turnbull 15-0 in the first set.

OMG:eek: ....Candra/Sigit lost??? What an upset.......so seems this is the end for them:confused: ...hope not....though they getting older....hmm and the dangerous thing is the other pairs are not stable enough to keep the track of INdonesian MD....

Hope Luluk/Alven win their first match and yeah let see what's next...

How about their match???

How about other Indonesian match...hmm interesting to see how they proceed in this AE....

I agree. They have improved a lot in the past 1 year. Meanwhile, Tan/Ong and Mohd Fairuzizuan/Lin have yet to shown their best and win their first grand prix titles.

Malaysia's best pair is still Choong/Lee. Despite 3 titles under their belt, CCM/KKK is very very erratic. They still can improve though....


if gan/zakry can beat JR/steffensen they have a great chance of reaching the semis..hope they do...luluk/alven is not on form lately...and even if they are..i don't think they are a very good pair..sorry..

Seems that Luluk/Alvent has won.

Hurrah over 90 mins!!!

live score is so slow tho...

seems to have jumped straight to the ladies doubles.. guessing that Luluk / Alven won 15-9 in the final set..

Coops

wtf is wrong with the live score??
full with errors and so slow...
i suppse the match of pasmussen and steffensen is finished?!

they won?? finally.....after hard match, hope this is just a beginning...hope they make better and better...and let see whether they can be the next Candra/Sigit....how about Markis/Hendra?? Nova/Lilyana?? Jo/Greysia???

Jo/Greysia seems won't be further than second round since if they win the 1st match they will face Yang Wei/Zhang Jie Wen....tough and almost impossible to beat this chinese pair...

And how about the Chinese match? Lin Dan??? I hope he will win AE 2006....:p

for the live scoring, milon.de is still the best.

Agree.. Absolutely :rolleyes:

well....i hope choong hann can beat lin dan..and he has a good chance..that is if lin dan is on the same form as he is on his previous 2 matches..hope so...

yep the score on this one is certainly interesting..
15-0, 0-15 in 16 minutes flat..

damn thats a hell of a turnaround and some sharp points...

well....i hope choong hann can beat lin dan..and he has a good chance..that is if lin dan is on the same form as he is on his previous 2 matches..hope so...

do u think choong hann can beat lin dan if both r in form?

do u think choong hann can beat lin dan if both r in form?


choong hann 45-55 lin dan...
but if chong wei vs lindan(both on top form)...i think its a 50-50

now, suddenly it's gone from the score :mad:

choong hann 45-55 lin dan...
but if chong wei vs lindan(both on top form)...i think its a 50-50

then it would be pretty tough for choong hann, wish him the best. lin dan might take his opponents lightly in earlier rounds, so i feel that lin dan is ready to face choong hann.

is chong ming playing? i didnt see his name and kien kiat's in the list.

WOMEN'S SINGLES ROUND 3

Zhang Ning vs Juliane Schenk
Rachel Hindley vs Eriko Hirose
Pi Hongyan vs Lu Lan (MATCH OF THE ROUND)
Cheng Shao-Chieh vs Chien Yu-Chin -- interesting battle between the two Chinese Taipei players
Jiang Yanjiao vs Mia Audina
Yu Hirayama vs Wang Chen
Wong Mew Choo vs Xu Huaiwen
Kaori Mori vs Xie Xingfang

is chong ming playing? i didnt see his name and kien kiat's in the list.

i think he is playing... according to this schedule http://www.horizon-sport.com/wb/wb3/247/05draws/110290605105ibzz15sched.htm

WOMEN'S SINGLES ROUND 3

Zhang Ning vs Juliane Schenk
Rachel Hindley vs Eriko Hirose
Pi Hongyan vs Lu Lan (MATCH OF THE ROUND) ( Lu Lan had so many teammates to asked how to beat PHY. And after her good results in German Open, she surely didn't want to stuck in R16)
Cheng Shao-Chieh vs Chien Yu-Chin -- interesting battle between the two Chinese Taipei players
Jiang Yanjiao vs Mia Audina (If Jiang Yian Jiao lost to Mia, she probably can kiss goodbye her chance to join the Uber Cup team. A very tight match, lately Mia is under performed. )
Yu Hirayama vs Wang Chen
Wong Mew Choo vs Xu Huaiwen
Kaori Mori vs Xie Xingfang

Anybody notice Japan had 3 WS in Top 16 and they still had Kanako Y who didn't enter All England. Meanwhile the Korean lost all their WS players? (The Koreans had a tough draw but that was not an excuses)

The Uber Cup will be interesting to see who will join China in the final? Japan or Netherland? (With a note that Yao Jie regain her health back.)

next great match:
Robert BLAIR &Anthony CLARK
- 5/8* Markis KIDO &Hendra SETIAWAN

Jo Novita/Greysia Polii off to a roaring start. They lead Lena Frier Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl 11-5.

Jo Novita/Greysia Polii take the first set 15-7. A good start to the year.
Hope they can break into top 10 by end of the year.

Another slow start by Markis/Hendra. They trail another England pair Clark/Blair 7-10.

next great match:
Robert BLAIR &Anthony CLARK
- 5/8* Markis KIDO &Hendra SETIAWAN

yep - big game for both pairs..
clark / blair are a danger to anybody outside the top 5 i would reckon.

Frier-Kristensen/Rytter-Juhl now leads 7-2 in the second set.

now 13-7 to Blair/Clark

Clark/Blair are on a roll....leading 14-9. Remember they have beaten Candra/Sigit before in the first round of the HK Open.

Meanwhile, Jo/Greysia have narrowed the gap. Its now 6-7.

1st set to Blair/Clark 15-11.

Markis/Hendra better wakes up :cool: It's another tough match as I predicted as Clark/Blair has improved a lot over the past few months.

Clark/Blair already leads 5-1 in the second set :mad:
Meanwhile, Frier-Kristensen/Rytter-Juhl still leads 11-8 in the second set.

it's quite weird really.. clark and blair used to play with each other when archer played with robertson.. (i think..) then archer got injured so robertson joined clark.. now that robertson has quit MD clark and blair are back together.. imagine how good they might have been if they'd been together for that long.. or is it the change that's done the good???

england kicking ass :) 5-1

Coops

Bao retired again? what happen to him, any info????? :eek:

:D I love Clark's warp ass .... cute ~!

Match point to english pair ....
Another upset to Indo team .....:(

Bao retired again? what happen to him, any info????? :eek:

I think he is not fully recovered from injure yet.
Hmmm... that makes his ranking drop.

BTW, Lee Chong Wei has back to the 2nd rank. :p

It's a bad day for Team Indonesia. The best hope of getting a title in the AE is now completely gone.

markis/hendra lost??????
:eek: really bad start for indonesia

Jo Novita/Greysia Polii advanced to the second round. They will play Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen later tonight.

It's a bad day for Team Indonesia. The best hope of getting a title in the AE is now completely gone.

you still have XD to go

It's a bad day for Team Indonesia. The best hope of getting a title in the AE is now completely gone.

Well they still have the Mixed doubles.

wow... candra/sigit lost? surprise surprise!

Jia you Xie/Guo!!! Wei/Zhang!!! :D

Well, good start, Lee Wan Wah & Choong Tan Fook beat #1 seed Chandra/Sigit in rubber sets.
Malaysia boleh!!!!!

Clark / Blair is a danger pair...

Indo still have Luluk / Alvin in MD.

Wooow..... what a match ~!!!! :eek:

It's not really an upset. Any match between Indonesia and Malaysia can go one way or another. Yet another bad day for Team Indonesia.
I don't think that is true for the last 10 years in MD. Most of the times Indo pairs won. Anyway, I am very disappointed by Candra/Sigit. First carelessly lost to Fu/Cai in World cup, then (should not be carelessly this time) lost to Choong/Lee, both opponents are in the powerful type. Maybe C/S are really too old to have good defence?

Go GZD and XZB!!!

Go GZD and XZB!!!

Hmm....you are an Indonesian...but you support Chinese players....interesting :cool:

live score lah...besides..over these years all england has always been broadcasted on rtm1 not astro..hope it changes this year..
cause rtm1 sucks..they have so many commercials

No sign of live coverage in Malaysia this year. :mad:

How old are they now? perhaps after such an illustrious career the magic has finally gone? either that or they can't train as hard as they used to because of their age - or their age has altered the type of game they can play.. unlike the other pensioners near the top (eriksen / lundgaard-hansen) who play a slightly slower but just as effective game..

Coops

Hmm....you are an Indonesian...but you support Chinese players....interesting :cool:
Chinese Indonesian can support either China or Indonesia :D
Plus... I agree with MP that Xie Zhongbo is a nice guy :p

Dui le! Hahaha. I'm a true Chinese at heart.. Ok2. Back to supporting GZD/XZB!!!

Coops

Candra and Sigit are 31 or 32 this year. They are not as lethal as before....and young attacking pairs (such as Fu/Cai or Jung/Lee) can exploit this weakness.

On the other hand, Eriksen/Lundgaard Hansen and other Denmark players seem to play better as they grow older.

Out of the topic.....I am a HK resident but that does not mean I am a HK citizen.

I c ic... U can support some HK players too, like Ng Wei.. Hahahaha :D :cool:

The Live Score is dead....yet again.....:cool:

What happen to live score? Seems like no score is being updated since 20 minutes ago.

Dui le! Hahaha. I'm a true Chinese at heart.. Ok2. Back to supporting GZD/XZB!!!

XZB has to play 3 matches a day? Crazy schedule! Why badminton tournaments, like All England, cannot play 7 days for the main draw plus 2 extra days for the qualification round, like tennis :confused: :confused: :confused: Actually, in tennis grand slam, even the current asustralian open, it lasts 14 days!

Badminton is just so cheap :mad: :mad:

But Choong/Lee are also getting old... That is why I am disappointed in C/S. Maybe Rexy has taught Choong/Lee some Indo tricks... ;)

E/L are too tall. They can reach anywhere in one step, therefore age does not matter that much. On the other hand, I don't think Paaske/Rasmussen are playing better and better. (Now that pair does not exist anymore)

Actually Choong/Lee are playing better than when they were young. Just that they are alwiz troubled by injuries now.

Any latest update on CCM/KKK vs Forbes/Kerr match?

that is interesting. Which part of the game do you think they have improved and what do you think is the reason?

that is interesting. Which part of the game do you think they have improved and what do you think is the reason?

They are better in cooperation, better in footwork, good defence, more powerful smashes and better attacking game and tactics. When they were young, they have the skills but didn't cooperate that well and played badly when they were panic.

that is interesting. Which part of the game do you think they have improved and what do you think is the reason?

Have not watch them play lately but I think at least now they dont crack easily when they are under pressure.

Geez, that is really amazing, improvement on everything. Does this has anything to do with Rexy's coaching? Or it is just that they grew wiser over the years?

yap ,you are right. more composed now with the exception of all england 2004 final. they played amazingly well during thomas cup 2004.When they were young, they couldn't perform during the thomas cup due to pressure.

Geez, that is really amazing, improvement on everything. Does this has anything to do with Rexy's coaching? Or it is just that they grew wiser over the years?

they have more experience now. of course the coach has something to do with it too but don't forget, they have improved a lot even before Rexy becomes the coach. Remember 2004? Rexy was not malaysian coach yet at that time.

What the ****'s happened to the live scoring? How long has it been stuck here? One massive upset today already in MD with Chandra/Sigit biting the dust. I predicted earlier that the MS #1 will also be knocked out. We'll see as the day progresses. Wouldn't that make the tournament more exciting?

Geez, that is really amazing, improvement on everything. Does this has anything to do with Rexy's coaching? Or it is just that they grew wiser over the years?

Well, I guess Rexy's coaching may has some influence. Wiser? Haha.....may be they are more "mature" towards their game.

This was on the 247 live scoring page:
LIVE SCOREBOARD WITHIN THE ARENA IS CUIRRENTLY DOWN SO INTERNET LIVE SCORES ARE NOT UPDATING

Now we know why the scores aren't moving. Anyone out there can update from other sources? Please. :)

Furthermore, Tan Fook had problems with Wan Wah when Wan Wah got injured in 2000/2001 or 2002(I cant remember the exact year anymore). So they didn't communicate on the court. But now, according to Kim Hock, both have a good relationship after he and psychologist advised them. I think a good relationship between the double partners is an important factor too.
