[badMania]

MEN'S DOUBLES SEMI-FINAL
Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto -- a tough ordeal for Luluk/Alvent as they never win in recent encounters. Can they break the duck tomorrow?

Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- expect a thrilling match...probably 3-sets. The Danes have a slight edge, but, I am putting my money on the Pelatnas pair to enter another final. One problem they have though is when they play against experienced and senior pairs like Tony/Candra, Clark/Blair and perhaps Eriksen/Hansen. Regardless of the results tomorrow, they will overtake Luluk/Alvent as INA's no 1 pair at the moment.

[edwin]

My prediction for XD is

Xu Chen/Zhao Tingting vs Zhang Jun/Gao Ling
XIE Zhong Bo/ZHANG Ya Wen vs HE Han Bin/YU Yang

If Zhao Tingting is happy with her "divorce" with Zheng Bo (after the World Champion incident) and plays well with Xu Chen, an upset may occur - especially when Zhang Jun has shown many signs of slowing down.

[2cents]

MEN'S SINGLES:
Lin Dan vs Bao Chunlai
It has to be Bao's turn. If Lin doesn't stop winning, he must be from another planet! On the other side, Bao is only the second to Lin Dan. During this long Lin's dominating era, Bao and Chen Yu were the only two guys winning the tournaments! No body else.

Chen Hong vs Chen Jin
Never underestimate the champion! Chen Hong was the current Champion China open 2005 so far. So never too much to predict the champion winning one more round.

In Men's single, now, Lin Dan is too much for others to catch. For him, the question is not when to win next time, his problem is when to lose next time!

Top tier (always win:eek: ) : Lin Dan

2nd tier (capable to win at Lin's absence :) ): Bao, Chen H, Chen J, Taufik, Lee CW, Gade, and Chen Yu

3rd tier ( capable to beat 2nd tier but no chance to win): Lee HI, Roslin, Hafiz, KJ, Boonsak.

WOMEN'S SINGLES:
Zhang Ning vs Wang Chen
Yao Jie vs Kaori Mori

Zhang Ning and Xie XF and far better than others. Potential competitors include all other CHN players, plus other Chinese players out-seas.

MEN'S DOUBLES:
CAI Yun/FU Hai Feng vs HADIYANTO Luluk/YULIANTO Alven
KIDO Markis/SETIAWAN Hendra vs ERIKSEN Jens/LUNDGAARD HANSEN Martin

Top tier MD: Tony/Chandra
2nd tier: Fu/Cai
3nd tier: Eriksen/Lundgaard, Kido/Setiawan, KKK/CCM, Lee WH/Chong TF, Hadiyanto/Yulianto, and many other Chinese pairs under regrouping, and a couple Malaysia pairs

WOMEN'S DOUBLES:
YANG Wei/ZHANG Jie Wen vs CHIEN Yu Chin/CHENG Wen Hsing
ZHANG Dan/ZHAO Ting Ting vs WEI Yi Li/ZHANG Ya Wen

Top Tier: all Chinese pairs
2nd tier: some up and coming Chinese taipei and Korean pairs

MIXED DOUBLES:
ZHANG Jun/GAO Ling vs XU Chen/ZHAO Ting Ting
HE Han Bin/YU Yang vs XIE Zhong Bo/ZHANG Ya Wen

There is really none dominating in mixed double, even though there are four chinese pair in semi, but none in the WC. Who will win the mixed double, seems totally random. Look at Zheng Bo/Zhao TT, claimed 6 star HK open by beating many top pairs, still not good enough to play together. So no body knows who's turn next time.

[Qidong]

The Chinese MS, WD and MX double coaches can take 2 days rest now. :) Surpised that the WS coaches need to work an exact day this time. :)

[LazyBuddy]

The Chinese MS, WD and MX double coaches can take 2 days rest now. :) Surpised that the WS coaches need to work an exact day this time. :)

This shows on WS side, CHN surely has a lot of talents, but none of the young guns can surely beating up the verterans yet. Lacking of expereince, and the result of internal battle (e.g. Wang Yihan eliminated XXF) makes the CHN open WS event NOT an all CHN internal practice session. ;)

[edwin]

Surpised that the WS coaches need to work an exact day this time. :)

Shouldn't be too surprising. China's WS coaches usually have to work until the finals. XXF and Zhang Ning make it to the finals on a regular basis, but the support cast such as Lu Lan, Zhu Lin, Wang Yihan, Jiang Yanjiao (sp?) are not at the stage where they can make it to the semi's consistently.

China's current WS is no where as dominating as the days when Camila Martin was still active. At that time, China's WS consists of players like Gong Zhichao, Ye Zhaoying, Dai Yun, Gong Ruina, Zhou Mi, and Zhang Ning, and Wang Chen (before she went to HK). If Camila Martin is still in her top form, she probably will find it easier to reach the semi finals nowadays than back then.

After Lu Lan and others mature, this might be another story though.

[Han]

It would be refreshing to see Bao Chunlai vs Chen Jin, time to call Yongbo for the arrangement :D

[Syaoran_Style]

It's so funny to see for once a chinese against the world ahahah normally it's always been the chinese against a non chinese ahahha
But i pick Zhang ning as 2cents said Zhang ning is just too good for the rest of the world .. =)

For men's single ... i'm just amazed ! lool I guess it's a bit boring to see only chinese .. but if they can give us great matches it's okay =)
I pick here Lin Dan (THE BEST!) He's just too good =)

[Qidong]

This shows on WS side, CHN surely has a lot of talents, but none of the young guns can surely beating up the verterans yet. Lacking of expereince, and the result of internal battle (e.g. Wang Yihan eliminated XXF) makes the CHN open WS event NOT an all CHN internal practice session. ;)

Yes, probably that's why Zhang Ning is still playing right now.

Nah. An easy win for Cai/Fu and Jens/Martin. Both pairs have shown very good form lately, and when these pairs are in form they usually end up meeting eachother in a final... :cool:

[weeyet]

Mew Choo always meet Zhang Ning in whatever tournaments she taking part...:(

[Han]

That's OK, Mew Choo is still improving and as her ranking gets better than she may not meet Zhang Ning, instead Xie Xingfang :D To win the title, you really have to good plus a little bit of luck on the draw.

WOMEN'S SINGLES:
Zhang Ning vs Wang Chen
Yao Jie vs Kaori Mori

MEN'S SINGLES:
Lin Dan vs Bao Chunlai
Chen Hong vs Chen Jin

Hmm, all Chinese men's singles semifinals?

I guess all I can say is...

Let's go CHEN HONG! LET'S GO!!!!

[TKG2609]

waooooo, i was so wrong about chen jin ....... thought he will lose ...well done ....final should be lindan vs chen jin .... but will lindan will give victory to bao/chen ????? he already win so many times .... maybe he will let his friend win this time ....... will he ??

[TKG2609]

but i hope chen jin will meet lindan in final

[DoublesPlayer]

what time will the semifinal matches start?

[yingcheng]

BAO BAO & Chen Hong gogogo~~~
i hope for rematch of last year's final!!!

[freelast]

BAO BAO & Chen Hong gogogo~~~
i hope for rematch of last year's final!!!

me 2.

Chen Hong beats Bao CL in the final.

Zhang Ning defeats Yao Jie also

[TKG2609]

i think chen jin can beat chen hong ...

[TKG2609]

chen jin should go to denmark open

[phaarix]

I would like to see CJ in the finals against LD.

[bananaboy]

For Chen Jin to beat Chen Hong, he will need to remember to change strategy from his match against TH. He attacked TH's forehand more often in his 3rd game against TH, and he can't afford to do that against CH... better attack CH's backhand... CH's attack is way too strong to handle even for the top players today.

[DoublesPlayer]

anybody knows the schedule? what time will they start the semi?

[z3048018]

it starts in the evening - 7pm. don't know the schedule of play though

[CLELY]

SF prediction in my mind:
MS : As predicted earlier, finally happen all-Chinese-SF that of course not thrilling enough for bdm fans. TH, the last hope to break China wall must be failed again. The last Non-CHN-shuttler who has grabbed MS crown was LCW in Malaysia Open/06 (medio June) and after that nobody can stop the Chinese in effort to get victorious. From Chinese Taipei Open until China Open the MS title always goes to Chinese player -- LD (CtO-Macao-Hongkong-WChamp-Japan) ; BCL (Korea) and Chen Yu (Thailand). They are too scary, maybe next DkO is big chance for local fave PG & KJ to eliminate them because China 'only' send 2nd class MS squad. My choice : LD vs CJ in finale!

WS: Big surprise, only ZN who is left in last 4. Really hard to ZN to defend her title, but I believe she can do that! ZN and Yao Jie will clash in last round.

MD: The most wanted matches, I guess. Wish Markis/Hendra and Luluk/Alven can create all-Indonesian-Final tomorrow (although slim chance of it,especially Luluk/Alven to face their nemesis).

WD: No need to comment, the answer must be CHN as a winner!
XD : Again, another training-day for Chinese force!

[pjswift]

It would be refreshing to see Bao Chunlai vs Chen Jin, time to call Yongbo for the arrangement :D
It's LD 's turn to lose cos he's comfortably WN1. BCL and CJ to rack up ranking points so both can be in the top 4? Better for LCW not to be top 2 so he can possibly meet LD in semifinal stage.

[bananaboy]

It's LD 's turn to lose cos he's comfortably WN1. BCL and CJ to rack up ranking points so both can be in the top 4? Better for LCW not to be top 2 so he can possibly meet LD in semifinal stage. You have to be joking... it's already a sure win for LYB, and there really is no point in limiting the effort of the players in their matches any more. Hopeufully your theory be wrong, and prove to the world that Badminton(China) at least is not fixing matches as much as Horse racing.

how is luluk/ alven?

3rd set, i think luluk is leading now.

[helloworld]

congrat bao :) he waits too long time to beat Lin

[modious]

Credit to BCL. He was patient and never panic even when he was trailing 9-17 in the 2nd set. His mental strength is now so much better than last time.

did fu/cai win already?

Seems Lin Dan lost concentration when leading 17:10 in the 2nd set. Like he wanted to give Bao some easy points to make the score look better. But things went out of control.

What a Good friendship!

You helped me (Lin) for the World Championship, now I help you (Bao) in China Open.

Next time we meet again, my (Lin) turn to win.

At some point in the 3rd set, LD seems to be out of focus, his shots went far wide.. and I thought he was going to give up like what Taufik did. But he did show that he still want to win later on, but I guess the gap is too wide for him to catch up. And what a spectacular comeback by Bao in the second set. He was 9-17 down and yet he managed to play some really nice shots. LD's winning streak finally comes to an end.

congrats to Bao!! it;s about time he starts winning against Lin Dan..well done Bao!

[me-ow]

[me-ow]

[jumpjump]

[verinee@yey]

no more badminton live on cctv????

Unfortunately, there's no more live coverage of the semi-finals...

I don't think LD still thought he can win in the 3rd set. He made 3 or 4 careless unforced error in a row when trailing 4:7. Yes he did some fight later, but I guess that's because he didn't want to act exactly like Taufik.

This match is weird. I really think may be LD just wanted to let Xiao Bao win.
