MEN'S SINGLES
Peter Gade vs Chen Yu -- Peter should take this one.

Kenneth Jonassen vs Chen Hong (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- based on current form, Chen Hong will take it. However, the home crowd may play a factor.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen vs Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the battle of the Danes with the more senior pair holding an edge at the moment.

Mathias Boe/Joachim Fischer-Nielsen vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui -- I am rooting for the young Malaysian pair to win their first GP title.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Jiang Yanjiao vs Yao Jie -- Jiang to win

Lu Lan vs Tine Rasmussen (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Chinese has the edge, but, the crowd will be behind the home player...so...she could surprise us.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg vs Lena Frier-Kristensen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- it was a marathon match for Emms/Kellogg yesterday. They have the edge, but, again, the home crowd could be a factor as well.

Kamilla Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk vs Jo Novita/Gresya Polii -- Jo/Gresya is the sole INA representative today. I hope they win and enter their third final of the year.

MIXED DOUBLES
Rasmus Mangor Andersen/Anastasia Russkihk vs Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg -- the WC silver-medallist to win!
Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl vs Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the world champion to win!

agree with all of'em.......nathan and gail should set up a WC rematch against anthony and donna and again win it easily

MEN'S SINGLES
Peter Gade vs Chen Yu -- Peter should take this one.

agree with all except this one!!:) CY to win!

Mathias Boe/Joachim Fischer-Nielsen vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui -- I am rooting for the young Malaysian pair to win their first GP title.


I doubt they can take the title as Eriksen and Lundgaard might be waiting for them if they proceed today. Fairuzizuan and Lin have two marathon match in the past two days.

Disappointing result from Flandy/Vita.

XD Semifinal matches are going on, Layburn/Juhl leading Robertson/Emms 11-4

Edit:

Chen Yu - Peter Gade: 24-22 (game 1)

CHEN Yu : GADE ----24:22

Chen Yu won the 1st game 24-22....:D

peter is in trouble the match is sooo close......24-22 to chen yu
16-all in WD

Jo/Gresya take the second set 21-19. It will be a tense rubber-set :cool:

CHEN Yu : GADE ----21:15

Hope the Polish pair can win

:) Chen Yu won in 24-22 21-15

Chen Yu has beaten Peter Gade 24-22, 21-15. It looks to be an all-Chinese Final yet again :cool:

Meanwhile, Jo/Greysia are trailing 6-11 at the interval of the rubber set.

peter lost so sad....21-15

can Novita/ Polii win this set ?

any live broadcasting??

more chinese coaches should go to western country... help improving their skills...

fairuz and lin are playing......hope they make the finals....they were not on really good form these few days.........
indonesian girls are losing.....polish girls are really on good form

TO minglee: No, more ZHOU Mi

Polish WD wins 21-13, 19-21, 21-19.

DEN MD lead MAS 11-10 at toilet break.

MAS and DEN all square 11-11.

MAS are pulling away 14-11

SIgh...it was close at the end.

The Polish pair Kamilla Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk appeared to seal the match easily, leading 19-13. But, Jo/Gresya caught up till 18-19. The Polish pair gained match point at 20-18, only to let the INA pair took one more point at 19-20. At the end, Jo/Gresya lost in a very close rubber set 19-21:crying:

A very very painful defeat indeed considering the fact that Rani/Endang have beaten the Polish pair also in 3 sets last week :cool: It seems that Polish pairs have found a way to play against INA pairs in the doubles. Devin/Yunita, Hendra/Joko, Rian/Eng Hian and now Jo/Greysia have lost to these Polish pairs within one week :cool:

this thread is a bit quiet this time...where are all the people??

MAS close in 18-13

hope JIANG can win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POLAND is a new badminton power from Europe, one of these days they will challenge DENMARK for top European honours.

Meanwhile DEN MD close the gap 17-18, Jiang leads Yao 4-3

MAS nip back in front 19-18 after a series of break in concentration, Yao levels score 4-4

Danish pair take initiative 20-19, Jiang returns back in front 6-4

Denmark win 21-19, MAS can only blame themselves for lack of concentration.

i guess fairuz and lin are still not very consistent..........i think they'll win the dutch open next week instead of this denmark open....

If they can't win next week's 2* Dutch Open, they are still not ready to take on the World's best pairs :cool:

JIANG : Yao -----21:18

they're doing slightly better in the 2nd game...just hope they don't blow their lead again

TO minglee: No, more ZHOU Mi

i am chinese as well, we can't be so selfish...
in order to make badminton more famouse worldwide, choaching intercourse is the key issue.

fairuz n lin not going participate in Dutch open

agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they can't win next week's 2* Dutch Open, they are still not ready to take on the World's best pairs :cool:

Yes, lets see what they can do here in Danish Open....before Dutch Open.....they are just not really consistant yet.....:( ...hope they will do fine....

I have see the draw and I find fairuz n lin .

Wow,...they are going to lose...

they blew it again.....they've struggled against pairs they should've beaten with ease the last 2 days and now they lose again...really disappointing

Its over!......sad

Woon Fui Lin/Mohd.Fairuzizuan.Mohd Tazari lost .why?????????? both 21-19.

Its over!......sad for them.....looks

A close defeat for Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui, as they lost to Mathias Boe/Joachim Fischer-Nielsen 19-21, 19-21. Denmark seals a title in MD.

Its over!......sad for them.....looks like they are not so ready for Doha......

Malaysian pairs have the habit of giving away huge lead and losing.When are we going to learn?Nobody's gonna give you any chance if they are ahead.Leading by 18-13 and yet losing,surely will send Rexy...........That's it.Lin and Fairuz lost..19-21,19-21.

i am chinese as well, we can't be so selfish...

yup....agree here...zhou mi's decision to come and train with WMC in m'sia is hers to make.....it's not to be decided by anyone else but her....i'm especially refering to LYB...she is no longer part of the national team.....this is not the right thread to discuss bout this

When CHEN Hong play?

Jiang : Yao ----------21:18 , 21:16 , Jiang Win!!!!!!!!!!!

They always have fantasies in their head when they have a big lead. I don't know why but this is malaysian's trends.

22-20 to Rasmussen

Finals? That's Chen Hong and Chen Yu, right? Cool..:)

Congratulations to cao ci dan and cooler

You guys made perfect prediction!

It seems that the distance between Lin Dan and Peter Gade is not that narrow at all. There are a lot of people in between. When last time, Chen Yu lost to Lin Dan in the world cup final, I was wondering who is the second to Lin Dan in the world? Even Chinese number 5, Chen Yu has beat the best outside China Lee CW twice in a row, and now beat the second best outside China Gade in straight sets. That's what I said, World Championship was not that best because Chen Yu was not there!

Lan Lu takes the 2nd from Rasmussen 21-18

:D yeah!!...that's true!!Chen Yu is really something!!...he'll win tomorrow!!:) he have beaten CJ twice too!!:cool:

Gade...:crying::crying::crying: I was hoping the Danes could have made it a repeat of this year's Singapore Open, which was an all Danes' ms final.. then Gade came up on top.:p

This is probably the 1st tournament which I was cheering Against the China MS team for a very long time.:p

Gade!!! You gotta keep the winning desire and work harder to be the best in the world again, as tough as it may be... still you can do it!!!;)

Lan Lu wins the 3rd and the match 21-17

YESSSSSS
It will be all china finals in Singles. Hope JIANG YAN JIAO and CHEN YU will make it tomorow

So far China already assued 2 titles tomorrow and the Danes one frpm MD.
WD should belong to England pair and XD is 50:50 between England and Danes.

... Gade!!! You gotta keep the winning desire and work harder to be the best in the world again, as tough as it may be... still you can do it!!!;)

The problem for Gade is probably too much winning desire :D

again all china finals in singles.....boring.............

all china in singles again......boooring

:D yeah!!...that's true!!Chen Yu is really something!!...he'll win tomorrow!!:) he have beaten CJ twice too!!:cool:

CY won! :eek: :D well done! I underestimated him :D :o

I don't think it's boring when it's an all China in singles :rolleyes: :D I think the game pace is much faster when it's an all China in singles ;) :)

The problem for Gade is probably too much winning desire :D

So another word, the opposite of the Malaysia players...:p

Keep it up Gade!!! only 2 more years to retirement from competitive badminton... make the best use of it!!!:D

He will be about 32 years old... although you never know about a Dane player(eg. Eriksen 36 years old), but there is the possibility that he may do so after Olympic 08... especially if he wins it!!! :D:p
