MEN'S SINGLES

Peter Gade vs Chen Jin
-- A great victory for Peter....beating Lin Dan in front of the home crowd! I think he should win tomorrow, although Chen Jin is no pushovers after another straight-set win against Kenneth Jonassen tonight.

WOMEN'S SINGLES

Wang Lin vs Xie Xingfang
-- Wang Lin continues her impressive rise in the women's singles hierachy but the experienced Xie Xingfang will probably win, unless of course there is a team order :cool:

MEN'S DOUBLES

Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun
-- both pairs are on form...esp Fu/Cai! If Eriksen/Hansen start to attack from the very beginning, they might win. A victory for them will also be important because they are likely to meet in the Thomas Cup Finals. Hopefully, it won't be over in 20 mins just like today's.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES

Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen vs Gao Ling/Huang Sui
-- probably the least interesting match tomorrow and again, Gao/Huang should win.

MIXED DOUBLES

Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen
-- can the young pair topple their senior and confirm their status as possible the no 1 pair in China's mixed doubles? I think they can!

Really hope Peter Gade and Eriksen/Hansen will win. Otherwise China will have a clean sweep.

Really hope Peter Gade and Eriksen/Hansen will win. Otherwise China will have a clean sweep.

what time (in europe time) will be paly MS final ??

can anyone confirm the time the finals will start???!?

either GMT or china time i can figure it out!

thank you!

Hope Chen Jin wins:D !!!! nd Fu nd Cai:D
hehe!!!

MEN'S SINGLES

Peter Gade vs Chen Jin
Peter had a 53:47 win over CJ. But CJ look like in top form. Winning 2 sets against Hafiz and KJ in tight score. Its official now that CJ is the most improving new player in one year. PG had to watch out his stamina. He already fight a long2 and exhausting match against LD.

WOMEN'S SINGLES

Wang Lin vs Xie Xingfang
The best chance for Wang Lin to seal her spot in Uber Team Cup. If she win, she will play Uber Cup with XXF and ZN.


MEN'S DOUBLES

Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun
Again very inetresting match. But I think Cai?Fu will win based on their quickness and smash.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES

Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen vs Gao Ling/Huang Sui
Easy pick.

MIXED DOUBLES

Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen
The last time Zhang/Gao win in China master final against Xie/Zhang. This time it will be different.:)

Hope Chen Jin wins:D !!!! nd Fu nd Cai:D
hehe!!!

I agree 100000000000% :D :D :D

wow! really didn't expect PG to take it. IMO if PG plays as well as he did against Lin Dan yesterday he should win against CJ. Although b/c the final is in China CJ should have an edge... should be a great game although I think experience will decide the winner tonight.

Great to chear Peter Gade won! :) I'm sure he will win the Finals. But Chen Jin is improving.. not an easy task to pass thru.

It could well be over in 20 minutes. Martin Lundgaard has been ill before this tournament, and hasn't recovered fully. OK, they made it to the final, but it is obvious that they been struggling against pairs that they normally just brush off. I am fearing that unless they wake up, the MD final could become something of an anti-climax...

I hope China will not have a clean sweep.

hope Gade will take the title....

can anyone confirm the time the finals will start???!?

either GMT or china time i can figure it out!

thank you!
newspaper said it would begin at 13:00 (china time)

hope Gade will take the title....

After yesterday's good performance against LD, Gade certainly looks the favourite, but I'm gonna be rooting for the underdog Chen Jin!;)

newspaper said it would begin at 13:00 (china time)
good, only ~2 hrs from now.

same here. hope peter will win... tired of watching china make clean or almost clean sweeps. nice if got more 'variety' in winners. :D. besides, peter really deserves the title this time.

Will CCTV 5 show the games?

hope Gade will take the title....

yep. gade should be alright ! (sorry yannie!:p ) last time they met. gade was really giving cj a hard time!
at the same time. i guess gade will have an advantage in the new scoring system because of a shorter playing time.;)

Will CCTV 5 show the games?
yes, an hour later from now

yes, an hour later from now
so u watch cctv 5 on TV?

lin dan, chen jin and wang lin were interviewed for the cctv 5 sport news

so u watch cctv 5 on TV?

the quality of CCTV5 not as good tonight.

zhang/gao vs zhang/xie
16 : 21
21 : 10

xie zhongbo got a nose bleed...

xie hoy a nose bleed.
pressure is too great:D

the 3rd game is amazing so far

xie hoy a nose bleed.
pressure is too great:D

the 3rd game is amazing so far

this gotta be a first time i have seen a pro getting a bleeding nose during a 6* final!

HOw do you continue with bloody nose, do you still go full assault?

Haha, and Punch gunalan said there would be less injuries in 21pt system:D

I don't consider bloody nose as injury, I think he had too much "Zing Seng" :D Pretty good games so far.

zhang/gao vs zhang/xie
20 ：22
cons to xie/zhang!

what is the most stabile p2p program to view on cctv 5 on ? :)

the game was exciting, haha, nice game!

xie and zhang put out some amazing effort.
lost rhythm and gave away ~3 points after the nose bleed incident and manage to claw back and win it too

Lets see how the women's single go, is starting now

XXF has too much experience:D

woh, great, wanglin has come back from 1:8 to 8:12 now

HMM... I guess XXF will win anyway

wang lin wearing xxf out now;)

experience vs stamina

wang lin pace and power no degradation yet

wang lin wearing xxf out now;)

experience vs stamina
Wang Lin has a very relaxed style. or is it a bit TOO relaxed?!?

Wang Lin has a very relaxed style. or is it a bit TOO relaxed?!?

but yet. she has this slight smile in her. kinda like telling everybody that she knows exactly what she is doing and in complete control... wah. playing with my mind already...

hahaha wang lin is good, so fast

xxf looks a bit tired

just a quick thought...

for the 3 new comers, Wang Lin, Jiang Yanjao and Lu Lan. all of them have different playing styles. unlike Zhang Ning / XXF, who plays exactly the same style. the next few years in WS will be very intersting to watch.

Wang Lin vs XXF (15 - 21, 21 - 13)

hahaha wang lin is good, so fast

xxf looks a bit tired

yeah. she reads the game very well. and also have very light and fast footwork. very tough player to play against, i think.

wah, wanglin is great , i think she will win !~~

go go Wang!!!!!!

wow, wang lin's talent is now shining through now

wang is reading xxf's shot quite well

is wang using ns7k?

just a quick thought...

hi kwun, juz curious... wat abt Zhu Lin?

wow, wang lin's talent is now shining through now

wang is reading xxf's shot quite well

is wang using ns7k?

or is it 6k? kinda hard to see.

Wang Lin is like GongZC, like to wear out her opponent mentally. her techniques are very different than GongZC though.

hi kwun, juz curious... wat abt Zhu Lin?

yup the tv commentator also mentíoned zhu lin

or is it 6k? kinda hard to see.

Wang Lin is like GongZC, like to wear out her opponent mentally. her techniques are very different than GongZC though.

GongZC is like a bullet fast, pin point player with perfection in everyway. Wang Lin is like this gentle little girl whose mind you cannot read but always hide a dagger behind her back.

what event is after ws?

what event is after ws?

men's doubles final

after that, men's singles

at last, women's doubles

it look grueling out there.
xxf is pooping out

wah, wanglin won !~~~:D :D

wang lin is ready for beijing 2008;)
she is like zhang ning but younger and faster and a bit more cunning

holy potato, she won!!! congratz!

it look grueling out there.
xxf is pooping out

Wang Lin pace control/variation is amazing. she can look completely relaxed and then suddenly accelarate and kill a mid-court, all done like if she is just taking a stroll in the park.

seems xiexingfang cried ....

wang lin is ready for beijing 2008;)
she is like zhang ning but younger and faster and a bit more cunning

much more cunning and techniques much more refined than Zhang Ning. her strokes are very difficult to read as they all look so gentle and light. even when she smash, it doesn't look like she needs much force.

totally agree, this girl will be in 2008, probably along side Xie, not sure about Zhang Ning, the 3rd girl (if there is one) will be picked from whomever is left.

My pyramid HOLDS

fitness beats experience and stroke techniques:p

wang lin mishit so many times and still win


and now the premiere event...MD

xxf lookes not to happy right now :P
Good that Wang Lin won, i was cheering for her *yeay*

Feng Yun!!!!! JIA YOU JIA YOU JIA YOU!!!!!

hey i want to be safe because this is the first time i watched her played.
her skills and talents get better into the heat of the game.
she is rock solid right down to the end, that is hard to beat.

prolly just sweats, this is a grueling match
many long HARD rallies

pushed xxf to her physical limit and went over it
maybe you are right, still a little sad for xie, thought i like wanglin more

goooo denmark!! *yeay*

denmark won, it's so fast

Cai/Fu are crazy...

Go Chen Jin! Jia You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Repeat Denmark Open 2005

can anyone post the semifinal score pleaseeeeee:crying: chung kuok ren jia youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
wang lin jia you
chen jin jia youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

amazing, chen jin got back EVERY smash by peter gade in game 1

last shot of game 1 :(
At least peter kept his composure.

21-19 to chen jin in the first.

is there anyone more then me that thinks the last point was in?

21-19 to chen jin in the first.

is there anyone more then me that thinks the last point was in?
yes , me
hey, that shot by chen was IN but called out
and i notice this too

its little sad that the most "miss-calls" on the line is favoured to chinese players.
that one with chen jins shot was in and it was the only misscall against chinese players i have seen so far :P

Chen Jin played really well. I thought he was really quick

such a pity Peter lost. But chen Jin deserve to win. Peter was not playing his own game.

21-19 to chen jin in the first.

is there anyone more then me that thinks the last point was in?


i just dunno, they didnt show the replay or close up

such a pity Peter lost. But chen Jin deserve to win. Peter was not playing his own game.

peter didnt play bad, chen jin unleash his speed and power at the right moment

yannie must be super happy now!;)

I think Peter was a bit defensive and reactive, Chen Jin's constant attacks were too much for him tonight. I thought Chen Jin looked great. He had that drive/motivation of a fresh youngster in him.

peter didnt play bad, chen jin unleash his speed and power at the right moment

he was clearly not playing his game. He seems nervous. Maybe too tired after his battle agains't Lin Dan.

Wang Lin just got a new fan. Her game was good. Next superstar in the making. Her ranking will shoot up after this event.

nervous? i dont think so - having beaten lindan he must hav thought its in da bag..dis youngster who hes beaten before wasnt goin 2 worry him..fact is gade was outplayed - i agree with trunkZ69 n cooler - chenjin simply too fast wit d drive of a youngster. if only lindan played with the vigour chen jin showed! anyway china wins!! :D

can't believe the pros are playing at such a BAD enviroment. I mean, look at the whole match for MS... the wind is blowing heavily from camera right to left. it is SO big that a shot from gade was curving back into the court... and I notice most shots down to the left side got pushed down more, and the shots are faster... notice especially Chen jin took this as an advantage? haha. I think peter wasn't excited at all. of course Chen played an excellent game. but I think from the way peter looked, he wasn't eager enough to win. I guess it was due to the fact that he beat LD yesterday and since IMO he made winning LD his biggest goal at this tournament(read a chinese news somewhere during an interview with gade, he wanted to play LD very badly), he basically physically and mentally gave it all out for LD's game. I mean normally if peter is fresh he should be able to last more than 2 games while maintaining his regular speed and agilty. However, after couple points of the second game, he was already a goner. Anyhow, good job for both chen and gade tonight, really wasn't expecting his victory over LD in CHINA!!!.

peter didnt play bad, chen jin unleash his speed and power at the right moment

yannie must be super happy now!;)

i am i am !!! so proud of him !!! :D :D :D :D :D

I thought Chen Jin was great! Gade's speed and agility could not match his and he made Gade run everywhere with his shots.. I really see a new World Champion in making..:D By the way, I'm ying ying last time.. XP Sorry my com broke down and I had to repair it.:crying:

Is CCTV-5 Showing anymore.... :( ?

i am i am !!! so proud of him !!! :D :D :D :D :D

I knew you would be!! :D

chen jin will play as the third single inTC.
Wang lin too.
So sad no news from hu ting :(

Is CCTV-5 Showing anymore.... :( ?

no more... the women's doubles is won be china anyway :D

yes, you can figure out that there is great wind

yeah, it's F1 on CCTV5 now...

Is funny that we usually think it's anti-climate to have Chinese vs Chinese in the Final but the XDF and WSF were so well and fiercefully played, stretched into rubber sets while the MSF and MDF were done in straight sets. Quite dissapointed with the MDF but MSF was pretty good until the bad call in game 1 when the score was at 20-19, what a big blow to Peter. Chen Jin did win game 2 with his power and speed and showed us that speed and power can overcome the inexperience and skill.

Same in the WD finals. GAO/HUANG beat WEI/ZHANG 21-12 18-21 21-14:D

well, i wouldnt say chen jin is short in the skill department;)
too bad no close up on that last point in game 1

ya, even if peter took the first game, i believe chen jin would had won the next 2 games to close the match.

Can anybody post the COMPLETE results of MS & MD? I went through the entire thread but couldn't find them (except for Game 1 of MS). Thanks!

some pictures of the final

damn I'm late like to see the game between peter and chen, can anybody please postpone the correct link for the cctv5 broadcast? thx
i'm from germany need some instructions :)

Chen Jin's skill is so-so, but his speed and power plus pure aggression are pretty impressive. Would be interesting to see him play Chong Wei and Taufik...

it's been a long time since last time i saw Taufik play....

it's been a long time since last time i saw Taufik play....
I can't wait for a Taufik - ChenJin match ..... :eek:

can't wait for a Taufik - anyone match

So, the Dane beat all Chinese top guns except CJ, this boosts their confidence in the Thomas Cup final.

both chen jin and wang lin were just juniors last years and they both took china master crown yesterday. Wang lin even took down chinese 2 top dogs personally. Very impressive. Chen jin beat PG which beat LD is also impressive.

YEAH!!! WELL DONE to Chen Jin:D :D unlucky to Feng Yun nd WELL DONE to Xie ZhongBo/Zhang Yawen!!!:D :D hehehe!!! Unlucky for LIN DAN:crying: :crying:

Its really unfair to call CJ only had a so so skill. (You know who you are)

Chen Jin had improved so much this past year. If he had only speed and no skill, he will not won this China Master crown all by 2 sets.

From QF to final, all his opponents were in Top 10 ranking, Hafiz, Kenneth and Peter.

In 21 new scoring system, it will be pretty useless if you only had speed and no skill cause you will made lots of mistake with so so skill and lost lots of points.

I had to admit that CJ is already a top 10 material or top 5 if he kept his consistency.

If you look at his results last year when he started play international events, he only reach R32 or R16. But so far this year, he had already 2 titles, German Open and China Master.

Even lots of top 10 players who had play for years only had 1 or 2 titles or none at all.

If his skill only so so like lots of top 20 rank, can he achieve all of this based on speed and only luck by beating lots of Top 10 players?

Can anyone tell me where i can get a results list from?

BADMINTON: Young guns in charge at China Masters

BEIJING: China’s Chen Jin and Wang Lin struck blows for youth by claiming the men’s and women’s singles titles at the China Masters in Chengdu on Sunday. Teenager Wang provided the biggest surprise of the tournament by coming from a set down to beat second seed Xie Xingfang 15-21, 21-13, 21-15 in the women’s final.

The 17 year old also came from behind to beat another of China’s best players, world number one Zhang Nin, in the quarter-finals and Wang Chen of Hong Kong in the semis. “I am pleased to win, but I still have much to improve,” Wang told state news agency Xinhua. Denmark’s Peter Gade thought he had done the hard work by knocking out China’s world number one Lin Dan to reach the men’s singles final but found world junior champion Chen too strong on Sunday. The 20 year old triumphed 21-19, 21-14 to gain revenge for his quarter-final defeat at the hands of the Danish world number four at the All England championships in January. “We met once before and I lost, so I prepared well this time,” Chen told Xinhua.

Gade, 30, had been hoping for a title in Sichuan to give his country a boost ahead of the Thomas Cup, the international team competition being held in Japan next month where China will be defending champions. Only the 21-17, 21-17 victory of his compatriots Jens Eriksen and Martin Lundgaard Hansen over Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng in the men’s doubles final prevented a home sweep of the five titles up for grabs at the five-day tournament. Xie Zhongbo and Zhang Yawen won the mixed doubles title with a 21-16, 10-21, 22-20 victory over Olympic champions and top seeds Zhang Jun and Gao Ling. The women’s doubles final was also an all-Chinese affair, second seeds Gao Ling and Huang Sui beating Wei Yili and Zhang Yawen 21-12, 18-21, 21-14. Reuters

just curious, how come young players like chen jin and wang lin can enter a 'Master' tournament? Is there an minimum age to enter a 'Master'?

Poor line judgments in China!!!!

I have watched it live during WS semi-final, XXF - Mia Audina. The shuttle was very clearly out, but the line judger said in. Not only once, but few times.
And in the MS final. The game point from CJ, and the shuttle I should say it was in from the return of PG. But the line judger said out.
WTF.... !!! well, it's true what Mia Audina said to the media. In China, they won't let you win over Chinese players.

Not only in this China Master 2006, but the other matches in China.
China really suxkz ...

China or just some liners? Anyway, bad liners are in anywhere, e.g. Malalsia.

Could it be that you must be Master of craft, ie skills only? In that sense, Chen Jin may qualify since he has proven a few times at world meets but what of little known Wang Lin??? :confused:

Chen Jin's skill is so-so, but his speed and power plus pure aggression are pretty impressive. Would be interesting to see him play Chong Wei and Taufik...

In my opinion, chen Jin style of play is so-so. I don't think it will be interesting watching Chen Jin vs LCW or CJ vs Taufik.

Chen Jin's recent victories were achieved in the absence of Taufik, LCW and other top players. Gade's victory over Lin Dan shall serve as a serious warning that the Chinese TC team is not as strong as the myth has said.:D

I agree that CJ is a rising star when the "real star(s)" does/do not participate:cool: .

This time Chen Jin needs to prove by winning international tourneys.

China or just some liners? Anyway, bad liners are in anywhere, e.g. Malalsia.

search ur dictionary. there isn't any country called "Malalsia".

yeaah I agree with cxytdn .. it's true that cheater linejudge is everywhere . but in the match btw XXF and Mia .. i was soo shocked ! Mia was soo angry, she even screamed at Xingfang .. i don't know why they are doing that =/ i agree with mia , In china they won't let you win against a chinese player :( :(
Remember Wang Chen during the 10th china games , she cried in front of the journalist. PG against chen jin etc etc ...

That's defenitely not a good advertissement for badminton around the world ..

got to agree on the first game chen Jin vs. peter gade

they didn't even bothered to replay the shot

shameful indeed... even as a chinese myself

but guess what, thats POLITICS, it doesn't just happen in china either, while i agree that western countries have a "higher" moral in these regard, but thats all we can do, whine whine whine, nothing is going to change unless when we all under the same roof(no, not bush, we don't live on grass :P )

So even CCTV-5 is biased!

MS/MD Final - wind problem???

Is it me, or am I noticing(from players and birdies) that there's wind problem...In the MD, I think the danish pair complained about wind problem. Then, just before Gade got the 11th point in game 2, it seems like the bird he hit was going out, then I kinda notice the bird going sideway back into the court?! Or is this some kind of slice shot I havent learnt yet?

bchaiyow

Chen Jin's skill is so-so, but his speed and power plus pure aggression are pretty impressive. Would be interesting to see him play Chong Wei and Taufik...

Chen Jin should face Wong CH in the Thomas Cup as third single if China meet Malaysia. Chen Jin beat Wong CH in China Open QF but lost to Wong CH in Danish Open QF. Who will be the winner in Japan ?:rolleyes:

There is no use to argue anymore.... just forget it~!
Becareful, There are some people will attack you if you talk about the bad linesman of thier country.
We all know that this is no good to promote badminton. Hope there will be a better solution for such arguement calls.
I believe all of us supporting this sport and also hope it could be a one of the top sports one day.
