[Timbuctoo]

My tips here: Men's Singles

LD to beat Hafiz (Good Game)

Gade to beat Chen Hong (Won't make same mistake twice after World)

Taufik to beat Susilo (Taufik getting better slowly)

LCW to beat Bonsak (Should be a walk in the park for LCW)

Men's Doubles: Go Denmark & England but I dare say that it'll take some mean feat to beat the Chinese pair after watching their display at the Worlds, unbelievable pair. Chandra/Tony may be the only ones to come close to them!!

[buncho]

Differing from your viewpoint a bit.....LD, CH, Taufik, LCW, KKK/BH (Malaysian doubles), and the Chinese pair. CH is getting hot again. KKK/BH is going to beat the Danes (I am very sure on this).

[smashmouth]

Wow! Great MS matches today, but even better matches tomorrow in the semis. With LD, TH, LCW and PG, who I believe are the 4 best MS players today, I think this is one of the best if not the best QF and SF rounds this year.
Too bad there will be no live TV broadcast of the QF here in the Philippines. Can't wait till tom so I can watch the SF.

[Bombat]

I am sure 75% that Lindan, Gade, LCW, TH will step to Semifinal :)

[tjl_vanguard]

SM will definitely be LD-CH and TH-LCW...
Finlals LD-LCW

[CLELY]

what time is the game starting today??

According the web (pick-up report section) this Friday the 13th QF matches have started several minutes ago at 02.00pm (TOKYO TIME) -- 01.00pm MAS's Time and 12.00pm Jakarta time which time-table below:

- 02.00 pm/01.30 pm --> XD division
- 03.00 / 03.30 --> MS division
- 04.00 / 04.30 --> WD division
- 05.00 / 05.30 --> MD division
- 06.00 / 06.30 --> XD division

[cao ci dan]

SM will definitely be LD-CH and TH-LCW...
Finlals LD-LCW
agree but final should be LD vs TH....

I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised that former Japan Open Champion, Ronald Susilo, has reached the QF although his imminent meeting with Taufik will be strongly in the latter's favour. If Ronald can put up a good fight and even win a game, this will be a great boost to his return to international badminton after his disastrous Achilles tendon injury.

Ronald had an easy R2 match against Naoki Kawamae (JPN) 21-12, 21-12 after having received a bye in R1. But he was severely tested in R3 against another Japanese, Sho Sasaki, before triumphing 21-11, 14-21, 21-14.

Sasaki had earlier shocked 9th seed, Dicky Palyama (NED) 21-17, 21-9 in R1 before he eliminated compatroit Kenichi Tago (was he the recently crowned Asian Junior champion?) 21-17, 21-17 in R2.

I think Ronald's head-to-head contest against Taufik Hidayat is not good but he is the only Singaporean to have survived this far, all the other of his teammates have been eliminated in this Japan Open.

However, in the WS, Xing Aiying derserves mention as she beat WR28 Soratja Chansrisukot of Thailand in three games, 21-18, 17-21, 21-9. (Naturally fellow BFer, Georgina must be terribly disappointed that her Thai friend had lost after scalping the famous Kaneko Yonekura 21-18, 21-19 in R1.)

Aiying put up a spirited fight against No.1 seed, the great Zhang Ning in R3 before losing 15-21, 12-21. She has improved on her previous performance against the evergreen Zhang, but obviously she still has a long way to go.

On the other hand, Li Li, who is Aiying's 'elder and more experienced sister' in the Singapore team, was unable to defeat fellow Commonwealth competitor, Susan Hughes of Scotland, in R2 and went down meekly in the rubber, 12-21, 21-18, 13-21.

So now all Singapore hopes are on Ronald Susilo to perform the almost impossible task of ousting Taufik Hidayat in the QF. Maybe the fact that Ronald was once the Japan Open champ can motivate and inspire him to create magic. As the underdog, Ronald has nothing to lose.

Well, good try Ronald, although you certainly need more time to find your old peak form again.

[hcyong]

The MS semi-final lineup could never be better, IMHO. The biggest guns from China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Denmark. It is hard to make predictions (as opposed to the quarters) as their level are almost equal. Only Taufik's fitness may be a bit suspect.

[milolo]

another possibility of LD and LCW final on the card.

But looking at all the SFinalists, anyone can enter the F.

[kontrabando]

Taufik, Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei and Peter Gade in the semis...Great! In my opinion, this is the top 4 of today's badminton...

[cao ci dan]

OMG!! INTERESTING...REALLY INTERESTING...TOP PLAYERS FROM THE GIANT COUNTRY OF BADMINTON ARE IN SF....LD-China vs PG-Denmark LCW-Malaysia vs TH-Indonesia....
my hands are so cold right now!!

[virusvoodoo]

another possibility of LD and LCW final on the card.

But looking at all the SFinalists, anyone can enter the F.


I think it's gonna be LD vs TH but I am hoping for a PG vs TH; PG vs LCW wouldn't be that bad either. But anything is better than the same old LD vs LCW match-up.

[tkm....]

yeah ! chong wei win

[ants]

I think Ronald days are numbered. He is not the same already after his injury. Personally it will be good if he can play in the doubles or mixed. But at the same time , Singapore also depends solely on him in the MS department. Kendrick and others need to step up.

[emms626]

yes!!!!lcw sure win

[Jessica]

When the MD start???

[hydrocyanic]

i think on the LD side , the result is predictable

while peter gade is good, he is 31 already, its not like in ms there will be a ZN somewhere

good game CH, don't give up, or play double :)

[Loh]

How about a TH v PG Grand Final for a change! I can assure you there will be no less excitement and quality badminton than a LD v LCW Final. Hopefully it will not last over 2 hours, for then we might as well revert back to the OSS!

[virusvoodoo]

Don't give up hopes on PG yet as we all know that Dannish players usually play into their 30s, and sometimes even into their late 30s. I mean look at Poul-Erik Hoylsen(???), he won the Olympic title at the age of 36 I believe.

[hcyong]

If you are a bookmaker, what odds will you give for not having a single Chinese WD in the semi-final? I will give 500 to 1.

What odds for all Chinese semi-finals? 4 to 1 for me.

[zqloy]

Wow, i cant wait for the titanic battle btw Taufik and LCW! Both had nvr played together for quite sometime right? But i dont think astro is showing live, damn........

[LI De Quan]

yes!!!!lcw sure winpatriotism, patriotism, patriotism, just patriotism,I say. But you must realize that this is sport .What we want is exciting match.LIN Dan and LEE Chong Wei both have the opportunity to win . LIN Dan is stronger than LEE Chong Wei .

[Loh]

I believe PEH was just above 30 when he won the Olympics gold, maybe 31 but not as old as 36. Their current doubles pair of Jens Erikson and Lungaard may be around 36 or older.

[peace]

Wowww !!!
There will be interesting SF matches tomorrow :

Lin Dan vs Peter Gade
Taufik Hidayat vs Lee Choong Wei

Anyone knows their head-to-head score?
What I know is Lin Dan has better head-to-head against Peter Gade and so does Taufik against Lee Choong Wei.

[zqloy]

patriotism, patriotism, patriotism, just patriotism,I say. But you must realize that this is sport .What we want is exciting match.LIN Dan and LEE Chong Wei both have the opportunity to win . LIN Dan is stronger than LEE Chong Wei .
But is there any wrong with that? :rolleyes:
Hey i notice that u always LD and Taufik is "stronger" than LCW, can u elaborate on that? If not its not convincing to say so. For most of us here, their ability wise may be different but these players r all at the same lvl.

Taufik and LCW has even head-to-head against each other which is 2-2, with LCW winning their last match. :o

[Jessica]

Ya...i agree with you, zgloy...In my heart,the four of them are really a good player and at the same level...We can't say anyone is weaker just because of the perjudice...So,we better make a subjective comment...

Depends on which competition. The Chinese may not want to participate in some tournaments for reasons best known to themselves. Then there won't be any Chinese in the WD SF. Then I will win your $500.:D

the md start 17:00pm:)

Yeah, nothing wrong with wanting your own countryman to win. As long as don't insult other players.

LCW looks thin. I think in arm-wrestling (or even WWE wrestling), Lin Dan will beat LCW. So Lin Dan is definitely stronger in that sense.

.LIN Dan and LEE Chong Wei both have the opportunity to win . LIN Dan is stronger than LEE Chong Wei .

If what you said earlier still holds true, than how can Lin Dan be stronger than Chong Wei?

[CLELY]

Flandy/Vita,cosmic! Extra-ordinary performance to beat 2x Olympic Champ,keep the spirit. MS division--> Last year Anaheim WC SF scene finally happen again in Tokyo. Time for LD being single-fighter to defeat PG and TH or LCW, no BCL and CH anymore in last 4, can he? With his title now WChamp plus WR#1 and Top-seeding in this tourney OMG so many pressures for him to step-up. All top 4 freeze their opponents with straight-set and they are in 'top-form' condition, really hard to predict who will take 2 place in finale??

[zqloy]

Haha its quite funny to say so..... yeah.... i agree on the "arm wrestling" thing, LD sure win in that sense..... :p:p:p

[jermaine]

susilo should attack more.. he always like to play long rallies.. which i think is bad for the 21 point system.
but good try this time, since he didnt train much

[sandy_bkk]

GAO LingCHNHUANG SuiCHN-TPECHIEN Yu-ChinTPECHENG Wen-Hsing21-11 22-20

[Lobeh]

Lin Dan will win if they arm wrestled using their left arms and Lee Chong Wei will win if they were using their right arms...!! You know, one is a left-hander and the other is right-handed. hahahaha.

[taufik-ist]

TH VS LINDAN will be the best final scenario,

wc 2005 champion vs wc 2006 champion
olympic 2004 champion vs #1 player
asian games 2002 champion vs all england 2002 champion
most talented player vs strongest player

[madbad]

It's been a while since we've had the "Big 4" in the semis. Only LD and LCW have been holding up their end of the promise consistently. A rare treat in store for the Japanese crowd tomorrow.

[Loh]

I guess Fu & Cai are playing Wijiya & Gunawan in the semi-final, as the latter pair beat the Japanese pair, OHTSUKA Tadashi & MASUDA Keita, 21-16 21-12!
may i know where you got the results?:confused:

Why Is That There R No Movies Abt. Badminton...i Have Seen Lots Of Movies Abt Footbal,tennis,golf,basketball,how Come The Good Players,servive With Such Low Prize Money In Badminton.look At Fedrer,david Bakem,all These Guys R Super Rich R Badminton Players That Loaded With Money Too????please Let Me Know?there Should Be Something Done Abt Increasing The Prize Money...just Imagine 'world Champonship' First Prize 1 Million Us Dollars...$$$$$$

I think they've been making movies only on the sports that are popular in the USA - with soccer as an exception because it's the most popular sport in the rest of the world (even the USA made one film on soccer recently - THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES, on the US team's [the team was only put together and trained for 10 days!] stunning 1-0 win over England at World Cup 1950.)

There was one film, as far as I know, on table tennis anyway - Japanese fantasy film PING PONG. China should make a film on badminton.

BTW, I'm a film critic, apart from being a badminton fan.

This is literally the battle of the young vs the old. Certainly an interesting pair. I will not miss it should they get into the final, which they have a decent chance of.

[xijiayu]

i think it is better to break KKK/CCM pair if this pair performs better than expected.

What Do U Think R The Chances Of Boonsak And Susilo To Win Today?it Will Be Really The Friday The 13th.

Hmm!What do you have to put it that way??
Ronald has beaten Lin Dan before and Boonsak has beaten Taufik before.
They are not any 3rd class players!

:mad:

[Jessica]

Wow....KKK/TBH win over the denmark pair and tomorrow they will face the japan pair who beat the Eng pair...This is a bit sad coz i though the Eng pair that perform well in the WC will win...However,i think the Mas pair can defeat the Japan pair and went through to final...All the best to them and i can say KKK is the most talented player in Mas...Hope he will shine in the comnig year...

Thank you , KaSoon

[hcyong]

Man, I gave odds of 4 to 1 for all Chinese WD semi-final. Guess that's too much.

[Lennethe]

wow, triple k and tbh is in interesting pair, didn't expect that they go that far

[badMania]

Good morning from Salt Lake City (Utah)...it's now 5am...yes...I am still having troubles sleeping through the night :mad:

A very good day for Team Pelatnas, esp in XD where Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir managed to overcome the first Chinese hurdle by beating the newly-formed Zheng Bo/Yu Yang in 3 tough sets 15-21, 21-14, 21-18 in 48 mins. Up next will be their nemenis, Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen, whom they have beaten in the previous meeting.

The more encouraging result comes from Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa, who scored an unexpected win over the 2-times Olympic champions Zhang Jun/Gao Ling in two close sets 21-19, 21-19. Once again, Richard Mainaky has to be credited for bringing Flandy in to partner Vita. This partnership should do well in the Asian Games in Doha. Their next opponent in the SF is the ever so dangerous Thai pair Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam. Now, can both INA pairs create an all-INA Final in XD?

Over at the men's singles, Taufik Hidayat continued to show the right motivation and wasted no time by beating Ronald Susilo 21-15, 21-11 in under half an hour. He will face Lee Chong Wei who once again has beaten Boonsak Ponsana (that's the nth time this year I believe) also quite comfortably 21-18, 21-14. It should be an interesting match and Taufik holds an edge because of his form this week!

There was no surprised in the MD as Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya beat the local pair without a fuss 21-16, 21-12. They will face the WC gold medallist Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun in a repeat of the HK Open match. Speed wise, Tony/Candra will definitely lose to the fastest pair in the world. They have to play strategically, esp with Tony against Cai Yun at the net.

The Malaysian scratch pairing of Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong should reach the Final after they have beaten their toughest hurdle so far in Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen in 3 exciting sets 21-18, 17-21, 21-14.

I still maintain my view that the only pairs who have a chance to BEAT the world champion if both pairs were to rely on fast attacking plays are the Malaysian pair featuring KKK and Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan. Yap Kim Hock and Rexy Mainaky will be delighted with the performance of KKK/TBH. It's a possibility that they will be paired for the long term because CCM is already 26 yo. KKK/TBH is definitely a pair for the future...young and very very promising indeed! However, KKK does still need to be more matured in his performance. He tends to lose it if things are not going right for him (eg: the WC semi-final match in mixed doubles).

[cao ci dan]

yes ! KKK Win !!
...and TBH too...:cool: so who will they meet tomorrow??:rolleyes:

[**KZ**]

KKK/TBH should reach the final without much resistance from the Jap pair...I think they have a bigger chance of beating Cai/Fu in the final as everyone knows they have a weak spot against certain malaysian players...especially choong/lee

[zqloy]

Hope too see KKK and TBH in the finals. Had nvr saw TBH play but heard that he is a very talented powerful smasher like Cheah Soon Kit! Definitely another young player with very bright future indeed.

[hara^kazuko]

So which is the better? the KKK/CCM pair or the newly arranged pair?

Definitely another young player with very bright future indeed.Yup...TBH is also a very talented player...The combination between him and KKK is a wise choice coz they two are Mas most talented player now...:) Just hope they can get to know each other more after this Japan Open...:) Best of luck to them tomorrow and hope them went through final...;)

[zqloy]

I couldnt say much as i had nvr watch KKK/TBH played. KKK/CCM has very good defense esp CCM, which really loads of trouble to guys like CY/FHF. But perhaps KKK/TBH will give better offensive advantage to the combination.

[Jessica]

Ya...CY/FHY face a lot of problem whenever they meet Mas pair...Actually MD is not dominance by china coz only CY/FHY that is outstanding compared to other china pair...So,i think Mas should put more hope in MD compared to MS in the doha games

Individual talent is one thing. Being able to combine well as a cohesive team is another. Combining well takes time for the partners to play as one. Unfortunately KKK and TBH can't be said to have played together for a longer period than Cai and Fu, who have attained such a high level of understanding, almost telepathic.

KKK and CCM have been Malaysia's regular top pair for quite some time now, yet they find Cai and Fu hard to beat. So one can't expect too much from KKK and his new partner, TBH. With luck, they may eventually reach the final but it will be very difficult to snatch away a win from a seasoned pair like Cai and Fu, who have been playing much better lately. Of course, if KKK and TBH prove to be a good combination and are allowed to continue playing together, then with time they could be deadly. :p

is it so? KKK and CCM find it hard to bt Cai and Fu? they beat them to reach the 2005 WC semis and then again in Malaysian Open this yr in straight games....these were their only 2 meetings....their defense is superior to Cai and Fu...

yeah, malaysian MD's bigger opponents are likely to be indonesians and occasionally the danish pairs

Hehe should be the Koreans and Indons. Our pair always find those 2 hard to beat. :p

[sickgal]

[sickgal]

[X Ball]

patriotism, patriotism, patriotism, just patriotism,I say. But you must realize that this is sport .What we want is exciting match.LIN Dan and LEE Chong Wei both have the opportunity to win . LIN Dan is stronger than LEE Chong Wei .

It's been a while since we've had the "Big 4" in the semis. Only LD and LCW have been holding up their end of the promise consistently. A rare treat in store for the Japanese crowd tomorrow.
indeed, indeed..:) .But IMO,the biggest of 'em all will be the Tony/Candra vs. Cai/Fu match...whuuw, i'm already "salivating" over that, what a barn-burner that will be(thank goodness both pairs were able to make it this far)..;):p :) :D :cool:

[ctjcad]

I believe PEH was just above 30 when he won the Olympics gold, maybe 31 but not as old as 36. Their current doubles pair of Jens Erikson and Lungaard may be around 36 or older.
that is correct...he was around 30-31 yrs old:
