Hong Kong Open 2006 FINALS (02/09)

[badMania]

It's the finals tomorrow and NO, it will not be an all-Chinese sweep this year :D Too bad I will not be in the QE stadium this year to support the Indonesian players :cool: Just a note, 3 of the finals are similar to last year's.

According to the schedule:

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhang Ning vs Xie Xingfang -- yawn...yet again another encounter between these 2 players. Zhang to win!

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- amazing comeback by LCW today. The question is does he have the stamina to beat Lin Dan? I think Lin Dan will win, but I would love it if my prediction is wrong!

MIXED DOUBLES
Zheng Bo/Zhao Tingting vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir -- Nova/Butet were absolutely in their top form today, esp in the second set. They simply destroyed Xie/Zhang. Zhang Yawen was particularly frustrated as they trailed by so many points. Another Chinese pair tomorrow and another tough match in store. Nova/Butet have beaten Zheng/Zhao in the Indonesia Open QF with a very close scoreline. It will be tight again and I hope the Indonesian pair can win their fourth consecutive title this year!.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen -- another yawn...similar as last year's final. Yang/Zhang to win.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah -- a close candidate for match of the round. Choong/Lee will be the top seed at the WC whether or not they win tomorrow. It will be a tough test for Kido/Hendra as they have had a bad record against Choong/Lee, losing in the SEA Games last year and this year's ABC. They have done extremely well in reaching the final, now, do they have the mentality to win tomorrow? Even though I predict that the Malaysian pair will win, I do hope the youngsters prevail and win their first title of the year!

[khwong]

Yeah the WS and WD are a big YAWN! I sure hope an upset by LCW but i think highly unlikely. I think best bet for a MAS victory is CTF/LWW.

[mikemike]

actually,only one match ...

lin vs lee

who will win?

[zqloy]

actually,only one match ...

lin vs lee

who will win?

For my opinion, both of them actually underperformed in the semifinals. I was expecting more from them, they were like kinda 'dreaming' in the 1st set. :o
So tmr whose form is better will be the winner.

[emms626]

hope lcw will win.......

[elwin81]

no matter what, I just hope all the players give their best and fight till the last. Then, they can have some good rest and prepare for the coming WC in weeks.

[z3048018]

having seen LCW live, i seem to like him. LD doesn't seem to be playing well. LCW's come back win will definitely give him that extra boost of confidence. really played solidly in set 2 and 3. LCW for the MS

to be honest, Natsir looks quite cute in person!! :p so they should win the MXD

Zhang Ning should win the LS

Gao/Huang for the LD

and the MD, i'm for the Malaysian pair for their on court antics and personality

slightly OT, anyone notice that the chinese pair of Cai/Fu, prior to serving, will make signals with their fingers behind their backs?

[zzz...]

slightly OT, anyone notice that the chinese pair of Cai/Fu, prior to serving, will make signals with their fingers behind their backs?

that is common for all China Doubles team, they will prepare their partner.

can u share what u see for the MAS MD pair? They are really great in term of personality. I like them so much.

Yes, I noticed CY/FHF, some time they do 5. Some time 1. I think they are indicating their partner what kind of serve he will do. Maybe in term of position???

[zzz...]

For the MD, I really hope Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan to win. Don't like Choong Tan Fook, he is too arrogant, always blaming Lee Wan Wah.

[ksooi]

CTF arrogant????? :eek: ....he is a very nice guy....in court sometimes you have to pump your partner up.....and both of them complement each other very well thats why they have been partners for soooooooooo long :D

[ksooi]

slightly OT, anyone notice that the chinese pair of Cai/Fu, prior to serving, will make signals with their fingers behind their backs?


yes they make a signal so the partner knw wher he is servin and can anticipate the return.......table tennis players do that....another pair that does it is Tan Bin Shen/Ong Soon Hock of Malaysia:p

[kwun]

Lin Dan & Lee ChongWei has really brew into a nice rivalry. strangely, even being a normally chinese supporter, i am hoping to see LCW win this HK Open. i simply like his style and attitude towards the game.

Zhang Ning & Xie Xingfang - i like Zhang Ning attitude too but i like XXF's style more. in either case, these two will be too a close match to judge the outcome from a technical view point.

Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan & Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah - CTF/LWW have the edge on experience here. if they are playing in the right mood, they can beat anybody the world. let's hope they are in the mood of beating the INA pair tomorrow.

Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen - YW/ZJW is in much better form than GL/HS. perhaps age is catching on...

Zheng Bo/Zhao Tingting vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir - the reigning world champions definitely has an edge when comparing to the 3rd chinese pair.

having given my prediction, i noticed that, unintentionally, i have chosen:

LD + XXF
ZJW + CTF

how sweet if that turns out to be the case...

badMania, thanks again for the previews...Sorry, you couldn't make it back in time to join the rest of the gang in HK..But hope you're hanging in there..;)

Looking at the matches, esp. for the MS match, I think LCW will be on a high esp. after his win in the SF. I doubt being tired will be an excuse cos he had lost in earlier rd. @ the KO. A good performance by him vs. LD, win or lose, will set his psyche up for the upcoming WC.
As for XD match, it will be interesting to see how the INA pair come out and establish their game. This time, they are a bit fortunate to not have to face ZJ/GL, again. Yet, they will face another "unknown" CHN pair. Nova/Lilyana have a shot of going to the WC on a positive note and good rhythm if they're able to win. Side note:They seemed to take the NSS and adjusting to it quite well.
Lastly, the MD match should be a fun one. Both pairs have slightly contrasting style of play; one pair is much younger and on the way up whilst the other has seen 'em all. I think it will be down to which pair can limit their own errors. ;)

[ctjcad]

slightly OT, anyone notice that the chinese pair of Cai/Fu, prior to serving, will make signals with their fingers behind their backs?
yes and actually there are pictures of them making those hand/finger signals to each other, in this forum...anyone remember from which tournament(s) and might post them??..:confused: ;)

ops...

i guess i did.. never mind... :P

[Baderz_Jas]

Aiya... just came back to find out that Fu/Cai lost! :crying:

My prediction (left side are winners): :D
Lin Dan vs LCW
Xie Xingfang vs Zhang Ning
CTF/LWW vs Kido/Setiawan
Gao/Huang vs Zhang/Yang
Widianto/Natsir vs Zheng/Zhao

[elwin81]

LD + XXF
ZJW + CTF

how sweet if that turns out to be the case...

LCW and XXF have huge height difference.

[bad_fanatic]

The only time when LCW will is able to beat LD if they are in Malaysia.

Lin Dan all the way.

[byelnats]

Wow, Widianto/Natsir is on the roll here. They beat Xie/Zhang. A sweet revenge. Xie/Zhang defeated them in Indonesia Open and now they returned the favour. Sweet! I hope they win this HK open as well. They may become a saviour once again for PBSI. Btw, somebody mentioned that Natsir is quiet cute in person. Well, she comes from a place called Manado in Indonesian. Manado is famous for its spicy cuisine and...of course its girls' beauty :p.

Kido/Setiawan is looking good as well here. It seems to me they are on the right track to become Indonesia's no 1 pair, but they still need that Champion mentality. Hopefully they can break their poor record against CTF/LWW.

I will pick Lee Chong Wei for MS because he is from Indonesia's neighbouring country :p .

[suetyan]

My predictions :

MS : Lin Dan (i am Lin Dan's fans, of coz choose LD :P)
WS : Xie Xingfang(hope they can be golden couple again:D)
MX : Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir (definitely will win)
WD : Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen (my favourite WD players)
MD : Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah(they have beaten CY/FHF,they certain can bt Indonesian pair :P)

[ronk]

The only time when LCW will is able to beat LD if they are in Malaysia.

Lin Dan all the way.


True,

LCW rarely beats LD outside Malaysia.

[chibe_K]

This is 6 stars tournament, so the title belongs to LD. If this is 4 stars, then its LCW. The same will happen to MD, the title will go to INA....sigh...when can we see Mal team make a breakthrough.

[ctjcad]

to be honest, Natsir looks quite cute in person!! so they should win the MXD

yup, u r rite, LCW only will win LD in MO:cool:

[Chu Liuxiang]

Lin Dan should stand a higher chance than LCW mainly because LCW stamina may be much affected after the tough match last night against Chen Jin. :D

[DinkAlot]

...ld

...gl/hs
...ctf/lww

[zqloy]

True,

LCW rarely beats LD outside Malaysia.
Yes but dont forgot that LD beating LCW mostly in front of his home crowd as well (HK, Macau, Taiwan...) The only time he has beaten LCW in neutral ground is in AE only!(which he nearly lost to LCW...)
Most of their matched were very close so todays match can still go either way.

[cao ci dan]

My predictions :

MS : Lin Dan (i am Lin Dan's fans, of coz choose LD :P)
WS : Xie Xingfang(hope they can be golden couple again:D)
MX : Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir (definitely will win)
WD : Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen (my favourite WD players)
MD : Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah(they have beaten CY/FHF,they certain can bt Indonesian pair :P)
:D :D WOW...I'm so agree with you..as for Choong/Lee...they're always the best....although they defeated my fav pair Fu/Cai...:crying: :crying: :crying:

[ants]

For the MD, I really hope Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan to win. Don't like Choong Tan Fook, he is too arrogant, always blaming Lee Wan Wah.

I disagree with you on that. Like what Ksooi said.. he is a nice chap. Very nice infact. He may not give a good impression initially.. but once u get to know him.. u will like him.

[hydrocyanic]

ops...

i guess i did.. never mind... :P

it shows that you are unconsciously in support of LD :P

i would say LD has an edge when LCW might not be as energetic after sept1's play

as long as they reaches the 3rd set, LD would win for sure due to more physically fit than LCW(or any one in MS), for many of the contest i have seen, LD is a slow starter

being the top 2 in ranking, i don't think their skills vary too much, i would say they differ in style than skill imo, just like preference in chinese or western meal than to say the quality of it

i have my money on LD, of cuz :D

[ants]

On the match between LinDan and LCW.. i would say it will be a close match. LCW is getting better and i hope he will win this time. No offense to LinDan fans.. i like him too.
I do also hope the Msian doubles pair to win this time. Big bonus for them as WC is approaching. They are not called Asian Champs for nothing. Hhehe..

For WS.. i would also want ZN to win this HKO. It might be her last appearance as a player in HKO. It would be good to bring back a souvenir.

[w3wmfhe]

I think the Indonesia pair is goin 2 win the men's double for 2nite ..CTF/LWW seems don't know how to play final ...they r good pair ...able to play against anyone....but not in the final

[zharifzaharul]

So anyone going to give the update of the score of the game?
I might post the score during the game coz im watching the game through ppsteam/pplive/tvants......yey.....
lucky me the Internet conncetion is fast in UK.......dont know whats gonna happen once i come back to malaysia

[BadFever]

Too bad KJ lost his plot against LD, otherwise I am a very happy man. Yawn, again, I hope LCW has already gain enough mojo to beat LD this time. Forgotten to 'Bomoh' the linesman last match (KJ/LD), this time, 3 x 'Bomoh' on LD and the linesman (get the blardy act right!!!). :p

[tutu_h]

very hard to bomoh them, it's LD's so-called "Home Ground". who do u think the linesmen will side?

[ronk]

LCW has been close several times and will need to beat LD to show that he deserves the number 1 rating. Whoever who wins will have a big psychological edge going in to the World Championship.
