Okay guys...here's the lineups. I will be flying back to SG in the morning, so, hope to meet up with Loh, Ants and other BFers.

MEN'S SINGLES
Chen Yu vs Eric Pang

Taufik Hidayat vs Kenneth Jonassen -- a repeat of the WC quarter-final match. Taufik is a slow starter and he needs to play at his best to beat Kenneth. We have seen the fighting spirit of Kenneth...he just never gives up. A tough tie for both players

Simon Santoso vs Bao Chunlai -- it will be a major upset if Simon can beat Bao. He's definitely improving a lot this year with wins over Park Sung Hwan and now Boonsak Ponsana in his belt. However, I still think Bao is a class above him.

Qiu Yanbo vs Lee Hyun Il

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Chen Li vs Jun Jae Yun

Kanako Yonekura vs Zhu Lin -- I hope the Japanese can win.

Petya Nedelcheva vs Pi Hongyan

Lu Lan vs Xu Huaiwen (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the young Chinese could win.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto vs Tri Kusharyanto/Rony Agustinus -- Luluk/Alvent shouldn't have a problem beating the non-Pelatnas pair.

Zheng Bo/Gong Weijie vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya -- a tricky test for the experienced pair, but, I think they will win.

Thomas Laybourn/Lars Paaske vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae -- youth will prevail.

Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the defending champion has beaten the young Malaysian pair before. They should do it once more.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen vs Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda

Zhang Dan/Zhao Tingting vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- so far so good for the Indo pair, but, the Chinese will present a stiff test. I expect them to lose....

Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Chankrachangwong vs Nitya Krishinda/Nadya Melati -- the young Pelatnas pair has done well to reach the quarter-final and should present a tough test for the more experienced Thai pair. It could go into 3 sets...

Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung -- another candidate for match of the round. Lee/Lee has been rather erratic lately esp when they were beaten by Chien/Cheng in the Uber Cup. I expect the Chinese pair to win.

MIXED DOUBLES
Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Zheng Bo/Zhao Tingting (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Chinese has beaten the defending champion once. Any match against Chinese pair is always tough....a real test of Nova/Butet's credential. I hope they could win.

Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung vs Songphon Anukritayawon/Kunchala Vorawichitchaikul -- Lee/Lee should progress

He Hanbin/Zhang Dan vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam -

Chen Hung Ling/Chou Chia-Chi vs Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen -- the Chinese Taipei pair has surprisingly beaten 2 Indonesian pairs en-route to the quarter-final. However, Xie/Zhang should beat them with ease.

I haven't been following the results. It's nice to see Jun Jae Youn on her way back to top form.

Tony/Candra. Well, what can be said about them that hasn't already been said many times before. :)

BTW, what happened to Sigit/Flandy? I suppose they lost in an earlier round, then? And the same for Candra and his sister?

Tony Gunawan becomes a freelance player now, he just find slots to fit in.

Hi,

Is there any matches going on now? what time is malaysian pair match? Hope someone would provide some help on the score......

thanks..

I must say Chen Yu, Eric Pang and Simon have done very well in the MS to reach this far and to have beaten very experienced and highly ranked players.

In the semis, Chen will very likely beat Eric, Taufik will find Kenneth very difficult to beat despite the home support, but Simon has more than equal chance to dismantle Bao, I think. Simon has all too often been criticized as Indonesia's weak link and now is the chance for him to prove his critics wrong.

Don't know anything about Qui Yanbo. Must be an upcoming young China star, perhaps not quite in the mould of Chen Jin yet. He will learn from Lee Hyun Il. :)

But we will welcome badMania back to Singapore with open arms and look forward to meeting him soon. Maybe he is in the air now! :D

Today's LIVE Broadcast on SCTV :
- TH vs KJ (01.00pm local time)
- Markis/Hendra vs M.Fairuzizuan/Lin WF (01.45pm)
- Simon vs BCL (02.30pm)
I guess SCTV is very busy with its capacity as FIFA WC-06 Official Broadcaster so they don't coverage too much in IO this year. Anyway, I think CHN's squad present very well performance so far with its '2nd class shuttlers'. Big shock for MAS's team especially LCW as top-seed in this tourney must be lost in early round (quite embarrassing for him -- just straight set give in from CHN's unpopular player). Possible scenario for tomorrow's SF match in MS : TH vs Chen Yu and LHI vs BCL (slim chance for Simon to defeat BCL although many INA's fanatic supporters are very support him).

Pik...., go... Pik! Bisa dong... Dia sudah tua...

That will be a record and worth watching right...hehe.....
Today's "big" matches have been close.

I think Taufik will go to the final and face his nemesis...Bao Chunlai.

As for Nova/Butet...I am still not convinced they are a world champion...esp when facing Robertson/Emms and Zhang/Gao. These 2 pairs still have better head-to-heard records.

Hi everyone,

Any news about Santoso-Bao?

Well, not quite. Almost there. It was 30-28. To my recollection, I have not heard of a 30-29 result yet, though it's just a matter of time.

My condolences to them. Fortunately, none of their relatives and family members are hurt, but it's still a tragedy, nonetheless.

My condolences to them. Fortunately, none of their relatives and family members are hurt, but it's still a tragedy, nonetheless.

How unfortunate! Sigit said something about being professional. No matter how professional you want to be, he should have gone home to see his family. In fact, if I were the coach, I will demand that he goes home to see his family. Family always comes first...

Unfortunately for Team Malaysia, I believe their challenge has ended today with the defeat of Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui.
malaysian team like have great impact from TC.. LCW,KBH cant perform well.

While men's doubles specialist Sigit Budiarto continues to give his all on the court at the badminton Djarum Indonesian Open 2006, his heart is elsewhere: His family's house was destroyed in last Saturday's earthquake in Yogyakarta.

The quake has claimed the lives of more than 6,200 people and the numbers keep rising.

The 30-year-old shuttler was in Kudus, Central Java, to attend the official opening of his club's new badminton complex when he got a call from his younger sister.

"My sister only said there was a quake and asked me to call her back. I tried to call her, my house, my parents but I couldn't get through. I was very worried about them," said the 1997 world champion with former partner of Candra Wijaya.

His concern only grew when he saw on television the devastation wrought by the quake.

Sigit immediately left for his family's house in Kalasan, Central Java, which is quite close to Prambanan temple. "When I got there, I saw our house was flattened by the tremor. It was shocking. I was speechless."

It was not only his parents' house which was destroyed by the quake. His grandparents and other relatives also lost their homes.

The quake has left about 650,000 people homeless.

"My family is still lucky as none of us were seriously injured in the disaster," he said.

Sigit, who is eying a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, considering withdrawing from the US$250,000 Indonesian Open, where he is playing with new partner Flandy Limpele.

"The tragedy has ruined my concentration. I didn't feel like playing. But I have to be professional. I can't just pull out. I should not be emotional," he said.

Sigit is not the only athlete affected by the tragedy. Shuttlers Tri Kusheryanto and Aprilia Yuswandari are also playing with heavy hearts.

Aprilia -- whose home is in Imogiri, Bantul, the area hardest hit by the quake -- went into a panic the minute she heard the news. Already in Surabaya for the tournament, Aprilia could only wait for news on her mobile phone.

"My family told me that our house was leveled by the quake but they all survived," she said. "I had to turn off my grief and stay focused on my game."

But it was not easy. Aprilia lost to second seeded Huaiwen Xu of Germany on Wednesday.

How unfortunate! Sigit said something about being professional. No matter how professional you want to be, he should have gone home to see his family. In fact, if I were the coach, I will demand that he goes home to see his family. Family always comes first...

i agree with that as they can always perform again in other tournament.

I wonder if withdraw with earthquake as excuse, is IBF still going to fine the players ?

If I am not wrong, usually if withdraw unless injury, there is a fine.

it should be the logical thing to allow players to withdraw without a fine as it is a natural disaster and is also a global issue.
if players get fined then the organisers/IBF guys should be fired without hesitation

I don't think they can stop a player who need to withdraw due to force majeure as that will be absolutely unreasonable.

When are Simon & BCL playing?

If this is the case then they should be a little flexible. Rather than 'players can only withdraw due to injury', they should say 'withdrawals must be approved by the IBF and/or their badminton associations'.

When are Simon & BCL playing?

BCL beat Simon in the rubber game:)

When are Simon & BCL playing? I saw them warming up when markis and hendra were playing against the malaysian pair. The match should be finished by now...

BCL beat Simon in the rubber game:)

BCL clearly has the mental edge over Simon, something that only comes with experience. But Simon is certainly promising - is he the next Taufik?? hehe

it's not a good sign for the future...........

Looks like china is going to dominate badminton for a really long time in the future if other countries hasn't come out with something to do.. :(

it's not a good sign for the future...........

in women, china will dominate for next 10 years

wow big test for Taufik!!
I see Taufik against Bao(Taufik's nemesis) in the final~~ Hopefully taufik can win it!!

well... probably not if in the next ten years badminton starts to break into europe n western countries... then they will produce a bunch of good players n mayb china will not dominate anymore

this reminds me of Michael Schumacher when he started to win almost every race in formula one at his time before Alonso breaks through.. mayb the same thing will happen

wow
chandra/tony bt china pair easily :)

Qiu Yan Bo is a very lucky person indeed. Twice he got a WO match in this tourney.

Yep, i read somewhere 'Lee Hyun Il cedera pinggang'.

poor guy........actually i expect something from him..........

Im expecting a multi-country match when now it's china vs china and china vs indonesia for semifinal now...

If taufik fails, that would be an all chinese match

China looks really far ahead of us...

TH experienced already at IO2004 where at SF he's surrounded by topgun CHN shuttlers. Eventually, he won the tournament againts Chen Hong. I hope, it will repeat the edition of Istora 2004 in Surabaya. Lets see.

taufik is like 'kancil' surrounded by tigers

Nonsense, you talked as though the kancil has no chance of escape and will surely be devoured by the harimau.

This kancil of yours is different. Although relatively small in physical size compared to the harimau, it is very fast and has a lot of ideas and a good strategy to get the harimau into serious trouble without actually coming face to face.

This kancil is on home ground and knows all the nooks and corners of the rough terrain. Whilst being chased closely by the harimau, the kancil sped through the thick undergrowth. When the harimau was just a hair's breadth away, the kancil suddenly jumped up into the air. The harimau was shocked and could not apply his brakes and in an instant found itself screeching into a deep ravine. The kancil sailed majestically over and landed safely on the other side. Now, pray tell me, who is the victor? The kancil or the harimau? Taufikist or BCL? :D

back then it was Lin Dan then Chen Hong...
he has no problem with them at all... He is used to beating Chen Hong and can beat LD on good form..
As for Bao he struggles a bit... I hope he can do it this time

means bao won the match regardless of how tight the match was... who else got into SF? besides him n TH

BCL v Simon Santoso
21-11, 13-21, 22-20

Wow...thats a real close ending. Nevertheless, an improvement by Simon. Good for him and it bodes well for his future.

Wow, now that's a great analogy and a marvellous piece of story-telling. Go Taufik!

Thanks all for the updates...been behind, but i will be catching up to read all the posts for the QF round...:)

Loh, nice analogy..;):)

and for once again... u focused on LCW when noone mentioned bout him though..:p so what if LCW did not get the World no.1 title?? i rather he would not be getting it if he is not convinced that he could hold the title for a period of time:rolleyes: ...and yet to u, why cares that LCW could not handle the pressure of whatsoever to overcome LD's grip of the World no.1.....:confused:

as far as we and im concerned....... i dont see any indonesian players rank in the top 5 from the IBF latest ranking list...:p so who's who cant handle the pressure for not being get into at least TOP 5......;)

Simple, because we all would like to see Malaysian flag on the top of the world, n lee chong wei obviously is the closest to it

i agree with u hara^kazuko,

and also i want to see non china player to be # 1 player, the last non china player who became # 1 player is only taufik in 2001

I do not mind seeing a China player or Peter Gade or LCW become #1 player because they are all decent players with proper attitude.

Lee CW just ruined his chance 2 days ago. He still has chance next week at Singapore, since Lin Dan will not play there. (correct me if I'm wrong).

From my observation, Chinese don't care about the #1 ranking at all, even though they occupy that position for a looooong time.

lcw will make history as the 1st malaysian player who become # 1 :D

i think LYB is very care about their ranking players :D

Then why LYB didn't send Lin Dan to INA to defend his ranking :confused:
Also, Chen Hong, Chen Jin can participate more tournaments to improve their ranking.

Overall, I think all Chinese players, plus Taufik are under-ranked. They don't have a plan for competing on ranking, while Malaysia and Denmark over-ranked, they always keep two eyes on ranking.

lcw will make history as the 1st malaysian player who become # 1 :D

LCW won't be making history because Wong Choong Hann, Roslin Hashim and Rashid Sidek had all been the world no.1 player before.

Not really. WCH was the world no.1 in 2002 (even its only for a week :D ) and I think Lee Hyun Il was the last person who held the top ranking position before Lin Dan took over (correct me if im wrong)

LCW is not going to play in Singapore Open too.

i think LYB is very care about their ranking players :DIf i remember correctly Roslin was once the No.1 Ranked Player of the world.

when ? i think roslin never became #1

when ? i think roslin never became #1

hey dude..check out the history... roslin was a world no.1 player... its was stated in the papers though...perhaps u r just concern with taufik's record..others u could not care less...:p

i think the reason why china doesnt really care about the top ranking is because they had enough of it... i think now the player himself will only care bout bringing glory to home and family... n china is making sure that they will still be appearing on badminton courts n make the country sounds enuff internationally

hey dude..check out the history... roslin was a world no.1 player... its was stated in the papers though...perhaps u r just concern with taufik's record..others u could not care less...:p

sorry :D.. i thought rashid shidek, he's more impressive than roslin (RS won bronze medal in olimpic 1996)
