Hmm..its already quarter-final stage now. Team Indonesia is left with only 1 representative.

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Mohd Roslin Hashim -- a tricky tie for the Chinese player, but, he should win.

Peter Gade vs Chen Jin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Chen Jin has strolled through all matches so far. Chen to win.

Roman Spitko vs Lee Hyun Il -- no question, the Korean will win.

Boonsak Ponsana vs Lee Chong Wei -- close candidate for match of the round also...and the Malaysian player should go all the way to the final since his record against Boonsak and Lee Hyun Il are very good.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Thomas Sanave/Rupesh Kumar vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui -- no problem for Mohd Tazari/Lin.

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- I have a feeling youth will prevail.

Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun vs Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat -- the Malaysian no 1 pair should win.

Gan Teik Chai/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun -- also a close candidate for match of the round...Fu/Cai to win...probably in 3 sets.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhang Ning vs Yao Jie -- also a tricky tie for the top seed, but, she should win.

Wang Chen vs Jiang Yanjiao -- youth will prevail.

Tracey Hallam vs Pi Hongyan -- the pretty French player has the chance to reach her second consecutive final.

Lee Hyun Jin vs Xie Xingfang -- Xie has been struggling in the earlier 2 rounds...possibly another 3 sets?

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Jankrajangwong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Gao Ling will square off against Saralee two times tomorrow.

Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui vs Pan Pan/Tian Qing -- a tricky test for the Malaysian no 1 pair...but they should win.

Ikue Tatani/Aya Wakisaka vs Du Jing/Yu Yang -- a stroll in the park for Du/Yu.

Duang-Anong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravitchitchaikul vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung -- dito for Lee/Lee.

MIXED DOUBLES
Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- expect a thrilling encounter tomorrow. Although the Chinese has an edge, I hope my second favorite pair (the Thai pair) will win!

Jens Eriksen/Mette Schjoldager vs Tan Bin Shen/Ooi Sock Ai -- the Danes should win.

Jonas Rasmussen/Britta Andersen vs Xu Chen/Yu Yang -- another Danes victory.

Anggun Nugroho/Vita Marissa vs Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung -- I hope the Indonesian pair can create an upset...although its quite unlikely.

So far lots of upset happened in Malaysia Open 06. The 21 scoring shorten the gap between the top player class and middle ones.

Who would had thought that Kenneth J will lost to Arvind Bhat?

It is really a shock that KJ lost to Arvind Bhat. I like him so much as he never give up, a very determine player. Sometime he do get frustrated on himself.

Yes with the new system.. more upsets are to be expected as the chance of a weaker palyer "getting lucky" increases dramatically..

Personally I think this sucks big time!!

I would think KJ lost because he was tired after SO. Same for Bao ChunLai in SO - he was tired after Indo open - otherwise I don't think that Kendrick Lee could have taken 1 set from him (nothing against Kendrick, he played well). Wouldn't the 15 point system with longer matches make them even more tired?

Also, just wondering, is the Malaysia Open venue air-conditioned?

I hope for MS Final Chen Jin vs Lee Chong Wei .....it would be a great match....not always Lin Dan ;)

Morten

I think Chen Jin will reach the final since he has matured a lot the last year.. Hes defense is great and he has some good counterattacks. Wont say hes an offensive player like Bao, LD and CH but more an all round player. A 100% fit gade would make him favourite but hes tired after SO where he had some tough matches and because of that i see Chen Jin as the clear favourite.

I think CJ also has a good change to beat LD ;) .

The hallmark of the world's most exciting games is more frequent upsets. Soccer is very exciting, probably the most exciting game because of the relatively higher upset rate. In every world cup soccer competition there are always TV viewers who die of heart attack watching soccer live-just too much excitment. American football has been rated to be the dullest game because of the near certainty of who will win. Therefore, if the NSS has a higher upset rate than the OSS, then the NSS is more exciting, using the generally accepted definition of what is an exciting sport/game.

I wouldn't say that having to win 42 rallies (at least) increases your chance of "getting lucky" dramatically.

Just prediction for upcoming SF matches...
-MS : LCW vs LHI at bottom-half draw and LD vs CJ at top-half draw will happen in SF duel.Unfortunately for LD and 'sparkling' CJ that will clash in last 4! I guess LYB doesn't wise to unite both of them in same bdm tour.Base on final results of prior tourneys in IO and SO,it's obviously CHN's MS didn't 'talk' too much without LD and CJ.As we have seen last week's SO:how come BCL and CH couldn't overcome veterans duo PG and KJ then realized all-danish-final?(lack of mental strength?!)
-WS : No problem for ZN to go on SF vice versa for XXF that she needs a lot of energy stepping into next round (what happened with her??). Time for JYJ knock over Wang Chen to prove CHN's debutant can replace her 'senior'.
-MD : 3 MAS's pairs + 1 CHN's pairs.
-WD: Once again CHN will dominate with 3 pairs in final four!
-XD : Hopefully Anggun/Vita can reach SF! (so sad they are the only one INA's squad remaining)

Why is it that everytime a chinese player lose its due to not having mental str. Bao has lost some times to Gade now. Last time i saw it Gade was a lot better.. Same with Jonassen beaten Chen Hong the last times. Chinese MS players are very good but as I see it only Lin Dan is ahead of the danes, malaysians etc. Almost the same as saying everytime taufik looses hes injured :mad:

Since Malaysia is currently disppointed with the Malaysian Singles, y not take a look at the men doubles... 5 Malaysian men doubles in the quarter finals... That aint easy man....

Yes, you are right. I am very glad that we got loads of potential MD pairs.

But the thing is, this MO don't have loads of top gun especially from INA and DEN. I would rather see more competitive matches between the countries.

Though there will be some interesting matches in MS.
Looking forward and the match is now under way in Kuching.

They have a chance of entering the final now...with Rasmussen/Andersen waiting in the semi-final tomorrow. I am pleased with their achievement here...and its a bonus that they can reach the semi-final. It will be even better if they can get a silver! :D

Meanwhile, Jonas Rasmussen/Britta Andersen has beaten Xu Chen/Yu Yang 21-16, 21-17. The other Danish pair Jens Eriksen/Mette Schjoldager beat the local pair of Tan Bin Shen/Ooi Sock 21-17, 21-10. They will meet the winner of the match of the round between Zhang Jun/Gao Ling and Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam.

Zhang Ning has beaten Yao Jie 21-16, 21-17, and her opponent in the SF tomorrow will be Wang Chen. Wang saw off the young Chinese player Jiang Yanjiao in 2 straight sets too 21-14, 24-22.

In the other half, Tracey Hallam continues to create shocks and this time, her victim is the newly crowned Singapore Open champion Pi Hongyan. Tracey wins in 2 sets, 21-18, 21-15.

With China's top gun like Lin dan/Chen Jin out in Malaysia open, KJ and PG really has no answer. With their age catching up, I just can't see them be consistant in future championship. The younger players always prevail regardless of the scoring system because they can adapt the change easily.

Even though I rout for Malaysians, I think PG is a master in techniques and has shamed a lot of the younger players. Learn from him coz there is no shame.

If you expect too much and it don't turn out to the way you want. You will be absolutely disappointed.

Equally true if you do not expect too much and you lose, you will also be disappointed. So my point is always be optimistic and if you win, you are on a high.:)

Lee Chong Wei do need to learn a lot from him although he is good enough, there's something u see in Taufik n Peter Gade but u cant see it in Chong Wei

But technically, chong wei is good enough for sure to win the title back

The results in WD and MD are out:
Team Malaysia has at least 3 representatives in the MD. All the three pairs that are going to the World Championships have won their respective matches. Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui were stretched to 3 sets by the improving Indian pair of Thomas Sanave/Rupesh Kumar with the scoreline 21-10, 13-21, 21-16. Meanwhile, Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah saw off the Korean pair of Jung Jae Sung/Lee Jae Jin in 2 straight sets 21-17, 21-18. They have more chance of advancing to the final on Sunday.

In the bottom half, Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat beat the scratch pair of Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun 21-19, 21-16. They will meet the winner of the match between Gan Teik Chai/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun.

In the WD, it is as expected...3 Chinese pairs in the semi-finals as it has been the case in the Indonesia and Singapore Open. Gao Ling/Huang Sui, Du Jing/Yu Yang, and the young pair Pan Pan/Tian Qing all advance. Du Jing/Yu Yang is particularly impressive because they don't allow their opponents to score more than 10 in each set. They will face Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung tomorrow, a match that they can win.

I dont understand the critic from Kooguy against PG. Look at his results the last year.. only 2 QF and then semi, final and winner.. since middle of 2005 he has been improving a lot and remember europeans can last longer on the circuit than asians. Of course Peter will not make the level he had between 1999-2001 where he was as good as Lin Dan, but without the mental strengh cause he had that knee injury. But thats what happens when your out of court 1 year and afterwards never will be able to train as hard as before cause of your knee. Despite these facts he has the last year beaten bao twice, Lin Dan, LCW and Chen Jin which are the amongthe 5 best players around this year. PG is way better than when he played in 2003-2004 so ill expect him to be in top 5-10 until Beijing 2008. Also remember he just won a big tournament playing some tough matches and has said himself he isnt as fresh as the other MS in the competition.

Hes the most consistent player in the last 10 years and perhaps together with Taufik has the biggest talent/technique. Without an injury he would have been amazing. So i dont understand the critique

Though there will be some interesting matches in MS.

Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen are also injured currently, while Thomas Laybourn/Lars Paaske are not competing in the MO since they have already competed in IO and SO.

After seeing Gade in Singapore Open, I still find that Gade is simply one of the best in the world and is fully capable of beating and matching any other player in whichever way. He may lose every now and then, due to various contributing factors or a lack of form, but I would not rate any player as being better than him at all. He simply has so much flair and talent. Furthermore, at his level, it has become virtually impossible to try to differentiate who is better anymore because on the court, nobody will necessarily have any advantage over him and its down to their performance at that moment.

Quite some production though -- if you consider the fact that the city of Jakarta (for instance) has close to twice the population of the whole of Denmark... :p

And regarding Gade's age: people have been saying "too old" for years already. Yet he's still winning tournaments, so I don't see the problem. The only way to satisfy some people is to win everything, and of course nobody can do that anymore. :)

Agreed!

I think Peter GADE's footwork the best out of everyone as it is so smooth and flawless which makes him appear to be dancing on court and enjoyable to watch. Even ZHAO JianHua commented that Peter GADE's footwork is simply amazing and admitted that ZHAO loves watching GADE "dancing around" on the court during match of Thomas Cup against LEE CHoong-Wei.

Old age & the knee surgury took major impact on his strength and speed (and maybe stamina too) but it is very impressive to see him and many other Denmark's players to continue performe into their 30s. I don't think I have seen any men's from other countries within the last decades to do this. I mean take a look at CHEN Hong; we can see that his old age is catching up with him already yet he is younger than GADE and without any surgery or major injury. Despite all those disadvantages, GADE is performing better than him being more consistent in many tournaments. Infact he is better (in terms of overall achievement) than most world-class players such as BAO ChunLai & LEE Huyn-Il, Hafiz, WCH.

Also does anyone know if RTM 1 will be showing the action of the semi finals l"live" ?:rolleyes:



Hmm..its already quarter-final stage now. Team Indonesia is left with only 1 representative.

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Mohd Roslin Hashim -- a tricky tie for the Chinese player, but, he should win.

Peter Gade vs Chen Jin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Chen Jin has strolled through all matches so far. Chen to win.

Roman Spitko vs Lee Hyun Il -- no question, the Korean will win.

Boonsak Ponsana vs Lee Chong Wei -- close candidate for match of the round also...and the Malaysian player should go all the way to the final since his record against Boonsak and Lee Hyun Il are very good.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Thomas Sanave/Rupesh Kumar vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui -- no problem for Mohd Tazari/Lin.

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- I have a feeling youth will prevail.

Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun vs Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat -- the Malaysian no 1 pair should win.

Gan Teik Chai/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun -- also a close candidate for match of the round...Fu/Cai to win...probably in 3 sets.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhang Ning vs Yao Jie -- also a tricky tie for the top seed, but, she should win.

Wang Chen vs Jiang Yanjiao -- youth will prevail.

Tracey Hallam vs Pi Hongyan -- the pretty French player has the chance to reach her second consecutive final.

Lee Hyun Jin vs Xie Xingfang -- Xie has been struggling in the earlier 2 rounds...possibly another 3 sets?

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Jankrajangwong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Gao Ling will square off against Saralee two times tomorrow.

Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui vs Pan Pan/Tian Qing -- a tricky test for the Malaysian no 1 pair...but they should win.

Ikue Tatani/Aya Wakisaka vs Du Jing/Yu Yang -- a stroll in the park for Du/Yu.

Duang-Anong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravitchitchaikul vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung -- dito for Lee/Lee.

MIXED DOUBLES
Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- expect a thrilling encounter tomorrow. Although the Chinese has an edge, I hope my second favorite pair (the Thai pair) will win!

Jens Eriksen/Mette Schjoldager vs Tan Bin Shen/Ooi Sock Ai -- the Danes should win.

Jonas Rasmussen/Britta Andersen vs Xu Chen/Yu Yang -- another Danes victory.

Anggun Nugroho/Vita Marissa vs Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung -- I hope the Indonesian pair can create an upset...although its quite unlikely.

Indeed, the footwork of Denmark MS players past and present allow them to be economical in energy mgmt. That's why they can maintain performance at an advanced age. Look at Morten Frost, Flemming Delfs, Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen and now Peter Gade, it's their common trait.

In comparison, MS players from China, Indonesia & Malaysia use up a good bit more energy. Therefore by 28, the performance level dips (except for those with extremely strong stamina & defence like Foo Kok Keong, Xiong Guobao). This has happened to Chen Hong & Xia Xuanze, WCH and Roslin.

Old age & the knee surgury took major impact on his strength and speed (and maybe stamina too) but it is very impressive to see him and many other Denmark's players to continue performe into their 30s. I don't think I have seen any men's from other countries within the last decades to do this.

I beg to differ. Hendrawan became a great in his 30's.

mm...Has anyone noticed that Chin Eei Hui/Wong Pei Tty lost to Tain Qing/Pan Pan? 21/7,20/22,21/18

Not that I'm very surprised with CEH/WPT losing because I know they're inconsistent, but I don't think that this China pair has made any impact yet...err..not that I'm aware of

I disagree, i am very disappointed but i'm glad they put up a good fight. Any videos with Chin Eei Hui/Wong Pei, will be greatly appreciated !

Why is it that everytime a chinese player lose its due to not having mental str. Bao has lost some times to Gade now. Last time i saw it Gade was a lot better.. Same with Jonassen beaten Chen Hong the last times. Chinese MS players are very good but as I see it only Lin Dan is ahead of the danes, malaysians etc. Almost the same as saying everytime taufik looses hes injured :mad:
:) :) totally agree! Bao Chun Lai really cant b compared with gade..according to what i saw in Singapore Open.It is not something about mentality..it is the skills that differenciate them..Don find excuses for Chinese player anymore!!

After seeing Gade in Singapore Open, I still find that Gade is simply one of the best in the world and is fully capable of beating and matching any other player in whichever way. He may lose every now and then, due to various contributing factors or a lack of form, but I would not rate any player as being better than him at all. He simply has so much flair and talent. Furthermore, at his level, it has become virtually impossible to try to differentiate who is better anymore because on the court, nobody will necessarily have any advantage over him and its down to their performance at that moment.
TRUE...agree with Morton n Badmania.PG is the most consistent player i have ever seen.Age is not everything.As u can see,his performance says everything.If the same knee injury happened to Taufik or Lin Dan,they would need time to come back also.PG stopped for more than 1 year,not 1 month..guy..:D It is awesome enough for him to have such performance right now.And what i can see is that he is still full of skills and speed.being able to give us interesting match every time he faced Lin Dan.To me,Lin Dan is just like "PG during 1999 to 2001".When he reach the same age as PG now(30),where will b he?Who knows that..may b worse....at least PG is still world rank 3 right now..

At the rate Lin Dan is going, maybe by 30 he might become a bit too Taufik-ish? Or some TV pundit or coach?

yeah..i think he won be continuing at that age..same like other chinese players last time bcoz China will always b able to produce fresh n talented players..i think PG is the only one to organise project like"team attack" to coach those fresh Danish kids which is FREE while he kept busy training for those big tournament.(although he just ended the project).he had bought those Danish teenagers to Malaysia last year for their training..n he is d one to look for hotel,training venue n everything!i don think players from other countries (BCL,Lin Dan,Taufik,LCW...)did the same thing as him.What i can say is...He amazed..due to his enthusiasm to badminton.:) :) :p :p

Well, we got to be fair to the players too. Even though our own favourite players are good (at least in our eyes), it does not mean other players are idiots or something; they are also good players too.

One thing I notice about CCM/KKK is that they gets a bit noisy or "rowdy" in their behaviour during some games especially KKK which always show that irritating face. One day, some opponent might just snap and charge at him strangling him. :D :D

It's only KKK, CCM is alright... although KKK is one hot guy I like, but he is an arrogant and a couldnt-afford-to-lose player... in cantonese, it would be "lan ci", but it's okay for me... He's good enough to "lan ci" about...

well, that expression on his face every time he won a point as if he told the opponent that "Look now who's better?"

Yes, I agreed KKK is arrogant on court. Sometimes, his face is a bit "QIAN BIAN". But having this kind of achievements in the years of 20, other people might also be like that.

The other reasons is he want to scare his opponent and try to comfort himself on the court. He might also try to find some courage by doing that.
