Thailand Open Quarter-Final (28/07)

[badMania]

MEN'S SINGLES
Chen Yu vs Boonsak Ponsana (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- again, I hope Boonsak can win.

Chen Hong vs Bao Chunlai -- both players need to win a title...and both are inconsistent. Tough to pick....Bao perhaps?

Chen Jin vs Park Sung Hwan -- no doubt, Chen Jin to win!

Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Yeoh Kay Bin -- likewise, Hafiz should have an edge over his compatriot.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu vs Hoon Thien How/Tan Boon Heong -- the young Malaysian pair should win.

Yoo Yeong Seong/Jeon Jun Bum vs Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man -- the more experienced Lee/Hwang to win.

Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae -- an intriguing match...the non-BAM pair has proven that they are no pushover after a series of good performances in the Malaysia Open. They can create a surprise yet again...but I still think Jung/Lee will win.

Rian Sukmawan/Eng Hian vs Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- I hope the Indonesian pair can reach their first semi-final, but, Choong/Lee has a slight edge.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Ai Goto vs Eriko Hirose -- the battle of the Japanese girls...with the more experienced one to win.

Adrianti Firdasari vs Zhu Lin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Firda has done well to reach the quarter-final. It will be a bonus if she can push the Chinese to 3 sets and a miracle if she can win!

Yoshimi Hataya vs Yao Jie -- the relatively unknown Jap girl beat Lu Lan today and Yao has to be careful.

Hwang Hye Youn vs Xie Xingfang -- the Chinese player should win!

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Lydia Cheah Li Ya/Tee Yi Jing vs Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl -- the more experienced Danes should win.

Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing vs Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Jankrajangwong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the backing of the home crowd could turn the favor into the Thai pair's balance...but...Chien/Cheng has been pretty stable lately.

Miyuki Maeda/Satoko Suetsuna vs Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui -- the Malaysian pair has an edge.

Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung -- another candidate for match of the round...tough to pick...but as always, I go for the Chinese pair to win.

MIXED DOUBLES
Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung vs Lars Paaske/Helle Nielsen -- a tricky but manageable tie for Lee/Lee.

Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam vs Jeon Jun Bum/Kim Min Jung -- no problem for the home pair.

Hsieh Yu-Hsing/Yang Chia-Tseng vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl -- likewise, the newly crowned Macau Open champion should progress.

Lee Yong Dae/Hwang Yu Mi vs Zhang Jun/Gao Ling (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- a tough match for both pairs, but, the Chinese pair has an edge.

[TKG2609]

agree , chen jin vs hafiz, Bonsak vs Bao Cunlai ...

[Dreamzz]

i agree with all the predictions except for chen hong, i think experience will prevail in this match this time ... i'm becoming a big fan of lee yong dae as well! imagine, a high-school kid, it's like 'prince of tennis' in real life, except of course that this is badminton ...

[madbad]

Both the Boy's World Junior champions in singles (Chen Jin) and doubles (Hoon/Tan) are still in it with great opportunities to advance to the SF. Not to mention the phenomenal Lee Yong Dae. I'd be delighted to see some youth represented in the T.O. finals

[ants]

I hope Hafiz can win and defend the title this year.

[badmad]

I hope Hafiz can win and defend the title this year.

well, defending the title might be just an excuse for you to say that hafiz shud win ;)... might be u too want chen jin to lose... u know like the ardent malaysian fan... :D :D just kidding...

[hydrocyanic]

is chen hong in decline?

in the AE2005 he seems ok though...

[ants]

Of course i will support my players 1st if they are still playing. :). If they lose then i will go to my second choice either Bao Chunlai or Boonsak and i don't mind if Chen Yu win this tournament. He played well and he deserve it.

[kokcheng]

I hope Kay Bin can win and go all the way to capture his first ever Open title.He has been dormant for quite a long time.His only international recognition was as a runner up in the Junior World Championship 1998 in Melbourne.His famous contemporaries were Gong Ruina,the single's champion,XXF and Zhang Jiewen,the double champion and CCm and Teo Kok Seng the boys doubles" champion.In that year we also have Cai Yun,Huang Sui and Hu ting.Zhang Yang was the single champion.It's high time for him to fight to the last drop of his blood.Go for it,man.

[pramilainc]

I want chen hong to win the tourney. I think he's the only chinese MS player who knows how to smile. :)

KokCheng.. so serious ah.. until last drop of blood. :eek: Well i also hope he will fare well in this tournament.

[magical_phoenix]

OMG most of the men's singles quarter finalists are my favourites. I hope Bao will win though for his first title in, I dunno, five years??

[Malaysianfan]

I read somewhere that Malaysian's challenge in MD and WD has ended. Is it true? Anyone to provide info?

[**KZ**]

the matches are not even played yet
malaysian WS and MX ended....you must've made a mistake..i'm sure u read the article from the star newspaper

[hydrocyanic]

the matches are not even played yet
malaysian WS and MX ended....you must've made a mistake..i'm sure u read the article from the star newspaper

if you haven't notice, its just a prediction/estimation, aka. guess

[tehsham]

if you haven't notice, its just a prediction/estimation, aka. guess
Well it is true, Malaysian interest is only in the MS, MD and WD

[zia.ufrida]

Adrianti Firdasari vs Zhu Lin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Firda has done well to reach the quarter-final. It will be a bonus if she can push the Chinese to 3 sets and a miracle if she can win!

Yoshimi Hataya vs Yao Jie -- the relatively unknown Jap girl beat Lu Lan today and Yao has to be careful.

Badmania... Don't you think that china's young WS players are not consistent yet. I really surprise to saw Lu Lan was beaten by an unknown Japanese player. Is that because Yoshimi Hataya very strong or Lu lan was not in her good form?

[Ai Mei]

i hope bao chunlai will win this match.....^^

[badMania]

Adrianti Firdasari vs Zhu Lin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Firda has done well to reach the quarter-final. It will be a bonus if she can push the Chinese to 3 sets and a miracle if she can win!

I agree about the inconsistency of the young Chinese players. We have seen how these players were defeated by some unknown players in recent tourneys. I hope Firda can also create an upset by beating Zhu Lin! The fact that she has beaten the no 10 ranked Kaori Mori is a proof that she can beat the top players!

[peace]

It is indeed true, badmania! I hope There will be an upset for the QF.
It makes a tournament more interesting !:)

[TKG2609]

bonsak will be the next "jaguh kampung" ... after taufik hidayat win indonesia open n lee chongwei win malaysia open .... but he must beat my favourite first ... Chen Jin ... hope chen jin can beat park sun hwan n hafiz then meet bonsak in final ....

[nugroho]

I agree about the inconsistency of the young Chinese players. We have seen how these players were defeated by some unknown players in recent tourneys. I hope Firda can also create an upset by beating Zhu Lin! The fact that she has beaten the no 10 ranked Kaori Mori is a proof that she can beat the top players!
and it was in straight sets :)
but unfortunetly, firda her self still inconsistent... well...lets hope the best for our upcoming srikandi:)

[TKG2609]

i hope no all chinese final .... maybe bao cunlai/chen yu vs hafiz or chen jin vs bonsak will be better ....

[wynn000]

yaya but maybe boonsak vs hafiz haha

[TKG2609]

hmmm i doubt it ....

[cao ci dan]

guess Bao and Hafiz in final...and Bao win it!!

[TKG2609]

i still believe chen jin will go to final ...

[badMania]

The first 3 quarter-finals in XD have been completed...all in under 30 mins. As expected, the only match remaining is the match of the round between Zhang Jun/Gao Ling and Lee Yong Dae/Hwang Yu Mi. It is probably going to a rubber now!

As for the results, all went according to my predictions. Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung will face Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam, while Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl await the winner of the ongoing match in tomorrow's semi-finals.

More updates to follow...

[hcyong]

Lee Yong Dae/Hwang Yu Mi took out Zhang Jun/Gao Ling winning the rubber set 21-18.

[**KZ**]

zhang jun/gao ling lost ady

[TKG2609]

any live score ?

[elwin81]

Again, ZJ/GL lost to their opponent. Not in their top form now.

Anyone got news from Xie Zhongbo? Haven't heard from him for quite sometime, is he injured? He played very well partnering Zhang Yawen.

[wynn000]

[Angel-a]

Yao Jie beated Yoshimi Hataya with 20-22, 21-10, 21-15 :) :) :)

[cao ci dan]

[**KZ**]

[hara^kazuko]

[pauline]

chen yu beat boonsak 22-20 22-20
That was so close...:o

[wynn000]

chen jin cheng hong won

[EastDevil]

Adrianti Firdasari vs Zhu Lin (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Firda has done well to reach the quarter-final. It will be a bonus if she can push the Chinese to 3 sets and a miracle if she can win!

Badmania... Don't you think that china's young WS players are not consistent yet. I really surprise to saw Lu Lan was beaten by an unknown Japanese player. Is that because Yoshimi Hataya very strong or Lu lan was not in her good form?

All YOUNG players are inconsistent. It is just that we tend to have double standards when it comes to the chinese young players and expect them to be consistent. And many people, for various mental, social or even racial reasons, tend to prefer the chinese players to lose and somebody else to win.

[wynn000]

quite sad boonsak lost bcl oso lost

[EastDevil]

i hope no all chinese final .... maybe bao cunlai/chen yu vs hafiz or chen jin vs bonsak will be better ....

I hope otherwise. An all chinese final is just as interesting especially when those are good players. I am not racist.
:D

[hara^kazuko]

quite sad boonsak lost bcl oso lost

What about Hafiz???

[pramilainc]

I want chen hong to win the tourney. I think he's the only chinese MS player who knows how to smile. :)

Chen Hong rulez....

[matt_att]

i prefer to see 3 chen in SF but champion goes to Hafiz!

[wynn000]

hafiz won
haha agree agree (matt att)

[badMania]

Well..well...a number of surprises in the QFs.

First, Firda has done well to push Zhu Lin to 3 sets...taking the first set 21-17 but losing the next two 13-21, 15-21. Overall, it has been a good week for Firda.

Both Eriko Hirose and Yao Jie progress to the semi-final as I predicted...but Xie Xing Fang lost to Hwang Hye Youn in 3 tight sets 21-10, 16-21, 19-21. Once more, it underlies the Chinese player's vulnerability under the new system. So, Eriko Hirose will face Zhu Lin while Yao Jie will face Hwang Hye Youn in tomorrow's semi-final.

In the XD, Lee Yong Dae/Hwang Yu Mi have proven once more that they are the nemesis of Zhang Jun/Gao Ling by winning 2 out of the 3 encounters in the past few opens. The scores were tight as I expected...with the Korean winning 21-14, 15-21, 21-18.

In the MS, 3 Chinese players have progressed. Boonsak failed to go through after losing narrowly 20-22, 20-22 to Chen Yu. Bao Chunlai also lost to Chen Hong 21-15, 19-21, 14-21. Chen Jin did not have any program as he beat Park Sung Hwan 21-13, 21-16. Mohd Hafiz Hashim is the sole non-Chinese players left in MS as he also struggled to beat his fellow compatriot Yeoh Kay Bin in 3 sets 21-11, 16-21, 21-14. He will face Chen Jin while Chen Yu will meet Chen Hong tomorrow.

Now, only the WD and MD matches have yet to be completed. One of the WD match is a walkover...Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl went through without breaking a sweat.

[hara^kazuko]

hafiz won
haha agree agree (matt att)

Hafiz won??? Oh, it's great!!

Who he will be facing next???

I hope he is in the final!!!

[pramilainc]

I think hafiz is too consistant for his own good. He can consistantly beat ppl ranked below him, but also consistantly looses to ppl ranked above him.

come to think of it, i can't remember the last time he beat someone ranked above him.

[Tjun Tjun]

Lydia Cheah/Jing Yi Tee conceded match to Kamilla Juhl/Lena Kristainsen. What happened to the young malaysians? Injured? What a pity they could not progress to the semi-finals.

[J_sheen]

hafiz win d.. haha

[X Ball]

Looks like Hafiz has a chance of another title (after his Phillipines title). I think he can beat Chen Jin and then Chen Yu. No problem, bring on the Chen's --- Hafiz will 'fiz' them !


Altogether now : FIZZZZZZ THEM !

[wynn000]

chen jin, hope hafiz can go final,even runner up i oso feel very happy

[taufik-ist]

Well..well...a number of surprises in the QFs.
First, Firda has done well to push Zhu Lin to 3 sets...taking the first set 21-17 but losing the next two 13-21, 15-21. Overall, it has been a good week for Firda.


firda actually has a capable to be a tough player :rolleyes: he just can't still handle the tense of the game, he always makes lot of unforced errors,

she must be sent to many tournaments

[J_sheen]

do u all think chen yu can win chen hong in semifinal? u all still remember that lindan always lost when beat with chen hong..

[wynn000]

yeah wong/chin won

[X Ball]

I will Fizzzzz them.

Hafiz

[hara^kazuko]

I will Fizzzzz them.

Hafiz

I'm excited about Hafiz's win... I think he did really good..

I hope I am to see him in final on television

[jasonmarc]

I hope I am to see him in final on television

CJ is a tough opponent, hope he will play well and win!:D

[badMania]

The WD matches have been completed. Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui and the home pair Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Jankrajangwong have won their respectively matches. The local favorite beat Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing in 3 close sets 17-21, 21-19, 23-21. Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung also beat the Chinese pair of Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen 21-19, 22-20. They will face Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui while the home pair has an easier task against Lena Frier-Kristsensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl in the semi-final tomorrow.

One match has been completed in the MD. Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man beat their Korean compatriot Yeo Yeong Seong/Jeon Jun Bum 21-15, 21-10 in 18 mins...the fastest match today :eek:

[X Ball]

CJ is a tough opponent, hope he will play well and win!:D

I think Chen Jin will lose for the same reason BCL lost. He is not able to match it with the best. I just think Hafiz has the slight edge over the remaining players, now that LCW, PGade and Lin Dan are not around.

I may be wrong but who can say he will be right at this time. :D

[taufik-ist]

I'm excited about Hafiz's win... I think he did really good..

I hope I am to see him in final on television

hafidz is on the fire :D

[hara^kazuko]

hafidz is on the fire :D

It seems like you'd never got his name right.. It's Hafiz, not Hafidz

[X Ball]

hafidz is on the fire :D


hahaha, don't fool us - he is not on THE fire.:p But he is on fire for sure.

[hara^kazuko]

hahaha, don't fool us - he is not on THE fire.:p But he is on fire for sure.

lol, both have very different meaning..

[badMania]

Hmm...another upset as the unheralded Chinese Taipei pair of Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu managed to beat the Malaysian young pair of Hoon Thien How/Tan Boon Heong in 3 sets 16-21, 22-20, 21-15...notice how close the second set was...Hoon/Tan could win in 2 sets :cool: They will face Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man next.

However, credit to the Chinese Taipei pair...I watched them play in the SIngapore Open against the eventual champion Flandy/Sigit. Flandy/Sigit took a long time to beat them...it went to deuce in the first set.

So, 2 more matches left..Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae and Rian Sukmawan/Eng Hian vs Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah. The winners will face one another in tomorrow's semi-finals.

.

The Taipei pair is unheard of --- did they secretly train in China perhaps ? Or got trained by a China coach ?

[xijiayu]

dissappointed with the msian young pair, missed their best chance to qualify the semi-final.

[taufik-ist]

hahaha, don't fool us - he is not on THE fire.:p But he is on fire for sure.

sorry .... :D he..he if he's on the fire, he needs 'BOMBA' immediately :p

Consistency is not a trademark of young players. Expect that.

[taufik-ist]

It seems like you'd never got his name right.. It's Hafiz, not Hafidz

sorry, according to arabic aphabet, z = dz :D

[azneric]

The Taipei pair is unheard of --- did they secretly train in China perhaps ? Or got trained by a China coach ?

the chinese taipei pair is one of the new double pair from taipei, i dont think they have even trained in china or by a chinese coach but their performance scared lots players :p wish them good luck tmr

[wynn000]

only lee/choong won aiks....

[azneric]

lee & jung beated chew& hong 21-8 22-20
choong&lee beated hian& sukmawan 21-18 21-8

[hara^kazuko]

sorry, according to arabic aphabet, z = dz :D

oh, really? But his name is not arabic anyway

[X Ball]

only lee/choong won aiks....

If you work out how many losses lee&choong have before a win, you can tell this might be the one again.

These two guys go for several losses and then pop up for a win. Don't ask me why but I think they certainly do that all the time.

Err.... I think it's full moon these days... Werewolves, aren't they?


Yes, I think you may be right......I saw red stuff dripping out Tan Fook's mouth the other day........."the time has come, the vampires will strike..."

Whose blood will be next for Choong and Lee ?

[badMania]

The last 2 matches were completed. Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae beat Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun 21-8, 22-20; while the veteran Malaysian pair Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah also won quite comfortably 21-18, 21-8. So, no Indonesian representative in the semi-final tomorrow.

The scores were tight as I expected...with the Korean winning 21-14, 15-21, 21-18.Wow. Great day for Korea! Hwang Hye-youn is Korea's best but she has never proven herself internationally. She's been plagued with rotten draws and then has done the rest of the damage herself by losing matches where she should have the edge. Great to see her beat the odds finally. Tomorrow, she plays Yao Jie, who dropped a game to a Canadian yesterday!

Lee Yong-dae is proving very dangerous indeed in both kinds of doubles.

Great to see some mettle from an Indonesian woman in singles, too. Good run, Firdasari.

[hara^kazuko]

[cooler]

I think Chen Jin will lose for the same reason BCL lost. He is not able to match it with the best. I just think Hafiz has the slight edge over the remaining players, now that LCW, PGade and Lin Dan are not around.

I may be wrong but who can say he will be right at this time. :D
dont underestimate chen jin,i think he can even take the gold MS in 2008 olympic.

[X Ball]

dont underestimate chen jin,i think he can even take the gold MS in 2008 olympic.

Top man --- U are on the dot. He is fast becoming a good player. I still like to see him win this one over Chen Yu or Cheng Hong. Hafiz is fizzled out instead of sizzling. It is becoming predictive for him.
