On men's singles:

qt 1) Lin Dan; Ng Wei; Santoso Simon; Nguyen TM

qt 2) Lee HI; Hafiz

qt 3) Taufik H; Bao CL

qt 4) Lee CW

It seems Lee CW gets the best draw. If Nguyen TM enters semifinal, it is just a repeat what he did in the team event.

Nguyen > Lee HI > Lin Dan > Taufik > Boonsak
Nguyen > Lee HI > Lee CW > Sato
Nguyen > Boonsak

On men's doubles

qt 1) Fu/Cai; Lee/Hwang; Koo/Tan; PRAPAKAMOL/NGENSRISUK

qt 2) Kido/Setiawan

qt 3) Hadiyanto/Chandra; Guo/Zheng; Lin/Tazari

qt 4) Lee/Jung

It seems that Kido/Setiawan and Lee/Jung will cruise to the semifinal without any problem. Any one of Fu/Cai, Lee/Hwang, and Koo/Tan come out from qt1 is not a surprise. Either Guo/Zheng or Lin/Tazari sound better than Hadiyanto/Chandra.

Both number 1 seeds in singles and doubles (Lin Dan and Fu/Cai) are in the most competitive quarters.

The only unbeatable 1st men's single in team event NGUYEN T. M. is fighting with SANTOSO S. (the only player could be better than Taufik in the eye of indra ;)) It seems true that Simon has no problem to beat the best 1st single. Simon is leading in the 2nd game with 1:0 in total games.

SAPKULCHANANART P. from Thailand, who beat Korea's 2nd stringer Park in the team event, won easily in the first round.

but Nguyen rallies from behind, takes the lead in the 2nd game. 17:16

it's close, simon won finally, took 3 points in a row, came from behind 21:19. Good job, Simon.

SImon won 21-16, 21-19.:D Very easy warming up...tomorrow will be Simon's next warming up against LD....

it's close, simon won finally, took 3 points in a row, came from behind 21:19. Good job, Simon.

Damn, I would have expected this match to be a three-setter but I guess Nguyen Tien Minh does not know Simon's style and therefore he was not able to effectively counter Simon's strategies.

SImon won 21-16, 21-19.:D Very easy warming up...tomorrow will be Simon's next warming up against LD....

The question is whether Simon can beat Ng Wei first, and Lindan beat Thai #2 first.

There is still a chance even Ng Wei vs Thai #2 :rolleyes: who knows.

But it is sure now, Lee HI and Hafiz will beat their opponents easily in the round of 32.

it's close, simon won finally, took 3 points in a row, came from behind 21:19. Good job, Simon.

Sigh :crying: :crying: :crying: for the death of the only unbeatable in the team events.

SImon won 21-16, 21-19.:D Very easy warming up...tomorrow will be Simon's next warming up against LD....

LOL...look who's back to give us more rediculous trashtalks!

So are you proud of your hero, Taufik Hidayat, who lost twice to Lin Dan already? I wonder what is your excuse for him this time, my dear Indra?



By the way, I am not trying to defend Nguyen Tien Minh's loss but a score of 21-16 and 21-19 is fairly close.

What time will LCW be playing? I do not appear to see his name or Lin Dan's in today's schedule. Am I missing something?

So are you proud of your hero, Taufik Hidayat, who lost twice to Lin Dan already? I wonder what is your excuse for him this time, my dear Indra?

The group format is "very ridiculous"...INA was "robbed" by the wierd group format....Anyhow, what is done is done:D

The real competition will be in the individual one....

Hmmm... I thought you said the group format hurt China more than Indonesia, as Indonesia was going to dominate China... You sure change your mind rather quickly...:eek::p:p

BTW, is Indonesia still going to win at least 4 badminton gold metals this Asian game???:rolleyes:

Nana :D

Indra, you are the best this forum has to offer!!! That's the best joke I have heard for so long... Nana to beat XXF and ZN to win women's singles!!!:D:D:D

LYB will go nuts if that ever happens in this AG...LOL:D

Indra, you are the best this forum has to offer!!! That's the best joke I have heard for so long... Nana to beat XXF and ZN to win women's singles!!!:D:D:D

Well...Nana will only win in Indra's dreamland :cool:

2 golds is the maximum that Team INA will possibly get. It's not even certain whether Kido/Hendra could beat Fu/Cai yet again or Nova/Butet beating Zheng/Gao :cool:

Much more logical prediction once again... but I honestly would love to see Indra's prediction on the women's singles come true... I would laugh so hard and praise Indra for his superior intelligence!!!:p

Taufik is in trouble ... :(

The group format is "very ridiculous"...INA was "robbed" by the wierd group format....Anyhow, what is done is done:D

The real competition will be in the individual one....

Dude...u claimed in your previous post that INA would crush all opponents including China, regardless of the draw :cool: Apparently...it was not to be and now u claimed that INA was "robbed". How could this happen when almost every player (except maybe Luluk/Alvent) were trying their best.

I think this was the closest match between Taufik vs Lin Dan. He could have won the first set. Simon was also possibly at his best as he nearly snatched the victory in the first set as well. I think the key is that the Chinese players seem to be more adapt at clinching the crucial points (when ithe scores were 16-12 for Taufik and 18-16 for Simon).

As for Luluk/Alvent.....everyone seemed to think that they have an absolute advantage of Guo/Xie, when in fact they have not beaten the Chinese pair for more than a year now.

So, I would think that overall, there's an improvement from Team INA. But, they need to replace the second doubles and stop relying on Taufik if they were to regain the Thomas Cup.

Taufik is in trouble ... :(
Meaning Bao is winning???

Well...Nana will only win in Indra's dreamland :cool:

the 4th gold indra pointed out was Nana which means None

Taufik was 11:16 in the 1st game against Hoang, then 21:18 took the 1st game. Now 7:6 in the 2nd

Meaning Bao is winning???

Given that LD also lost to LHI, the loss by LCW to LHI cannot be considered as bad. Obviously, LHI stepped up considerably --- but will he be able to do it again to both players ?

Taufik was 11:16 in the 1st game against Hoang, then 21:18 took the 1st game. Now 7:6 in the 2nd

okay Taufik advanced as expected.

Given that LD also lost to LHI, the loss by LCW to LHI cannot be considered as bad. Obviously, LHI stepped up considerably --- but will he be able to do it again to both players ?

There is a big difference here: LCW had a day of rest prior to his match with LHI... LD fought TH twice prior to his match with LHI. LD lost 1-2, LCW lost 0-2... LCW better wake up on the right side of the bed everyday until the end of this AG, or someone from BAM will take the fall.:p

Go Bao!!! Go Bao!!!! JiaYou Bao..........hope he can beat TH....>.<
hehehe.....
Go Simon...do your best...............!!!

Indra, you are the best this forum has to offer!!! That's the best joke I have heard for so long... Nana to beat XXF and ZN to win women's singles!!!:D:D:D

LYB will go nuts if that ever happens in this AG...LOL:D
...having his heart throbbed relentlessly watching the Semis between INA vs. CHN...probably it's already a form of exercise and he wants to go thru it all over again...*sigh*..never a dull moment for indra. ..:p ;)

the 4th gold indra pointed out was Nana which means None

Yes...None Nana [In Indonesian [Jakarta's dialect] it means Ms. Nana]:D

So I am happy that LYI beat the arrogant player (Lin Dan).... HAAAA

go...go alvent/marisa

yes... alven/marrisa took the 1st set

they are not bad....

they lead 14-11 now...

Some interesting ties in the ROUND OF 16 matches:

MS
Ng Wei vs Simon Santoso (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- Simon has a tough match in store. However, I think he should beat Ng Wei (possibly in 3 sets) and play against Lin Dan tomorrow.

Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Sho Sasaki -- Hafiz has been in yo-yo mood in the past few days. The Japanese player could be another tricky match for him. The winner will face a tough encounter against Lee Hyun Il, who has an easy match.

Taufik Hidayat vs Park Sung Hwan -- on paper, Taufik should be superior...but...the Korean player can surprise us.

Ronald Susilo vs Bao Chunlai -- it's a pity that Ronald is drawn quite early against Bao. The Chinese should advance to meet Taufik in another mouth-watering clash tomorrow.

Shoji Sato vs Lee Chongwei -- also a tricky match for LCW. He has beaten the Jap a few days ago...and he should advance for another meeting with Boonsak Ponsana.

WS
Kaori Mori vs Xing Aiying -- the Jap should win.

Lee Yun Hwa vs Wong Mew Choo (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- the Malaysian player should advance to the quarter-final.

Saina Nehwal vs Eriko Hirose -- again, the Jap has the edge over the WJ runner-up.

XD
Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Wong Wai Hong/Ng Ka Shun -- a breeze for the top seed.

Songphon Anukritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul vs Zheng Bo/Gao Ling -- the Chinese should take it!

Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung vs Tsai Chia-Hsing/Cheng Wen-Hsing -- the Korean pair has been on absence for quite some time...and this should be a good match for their warm-up.

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Li Yujia vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Wong Pei Tty -- should be an interesting match...but..the Singaporean pair should win.

Hendra Wijaya/Frances Liu Fan vs Koo Kien Keat/Joanna Quay Swee Ling -- another Singapore vs Malaysia clash...and this time, the Malaysian pair should win.

Alvent Yulianto/Vita Marissa vs Lee Yong Dae/Hwang Yu Mi (MATCH OF THE ROUND) -- a tough match...and Vita's experience will be crucial against the young pair of Lee/Hwang. The Korean has an edge.

they won the second set too...
good start

i did not know that a pair from India could take a game from honkang pair

they even beat beat the hongkong pair quite badly 21-13, 21-10

There is a big difference here: LCW had a day of rest prior to his match with LHI... LD fought TH twice prior to his match with LHI. LD lost 1-2, LCW lost 0-2... LCW better wake up on the right side of the bed everyday until the end of this AG, or someone from BAM will take the fall.:p
Well, i see no difference here. Although LCW lost he still lost narrowly 21-19 for both sets. When u lost u lost, its just your opponent played better. There is no excuses like losing better or losing worse :p.
My opinion, YKH should hv the fare share of the blame for looking out down on LHI, and thinking it will be a sure win for LCW. Resting LCW during the quarters when facing HK is a bad call. He has played 1 match only b4 meeting LHI, he might be rusty.

the draw is really bad for simon... he has to play a fancied NTM.. and now he faces NG wei... after NG wei, it would be LD... it will really be a tough test for the INA youngster...

Yes....4 GOLDS (Taufik/Simon, Markis/Hendra, Nova/Butet) and the other one is ...please scroll down

Sigh...Simon is still inconsistent. He lost easily to Ng Wei in straight sets 18-21, 13-21. Ng Wei even had a 10-1 lead in the second set :eek:

QF- MEN'S SINGLES
LIN DAN (CHN) vs NG WEI (HKG)
MUHAMMAD HAFIZ HASHIM (MAS) vs LEE HYUN ILL (KOR)- The Korean is doing well, he prepared well :rolleyes: lol :D
TAUFIK HIDAYAT (INA) vs BAO CHUNLAI (CHN)- I don't think TH will have enough to beat BCL :rolleyes:
LEE CHONG WEI (MAS) vs BOONSAK PONSANA (THA)

Agree with you, but I have a feeling that TH will win, it would be a tight match if TH fights all-out. BCL has been very consistent, but TH must win.

Hopefully this match will be on-air, and someone would record it. :)

They should've played Sony instead, poor Sony, he's been there idle as he was the third single in the team event.

I think Simon's career won't last for too long.

any live stream guys ?

any live stream guys ?
i would also like to know...lol...cctv5 isnt open

@indra, your dream for Indonesia to win 4 gold already out!

In WS, both Nana and Firda lost today.

Nana lost to ZN. (we already predicted it)

But Firda lost to Lee Yun Hwa who she beat in team event is really sad.

I agree with you, except that Lee HI will almost surely beat Hafiz...So I modified the prediction to:
Men Singles

For TH, I wonder what excused he can give right now?

In R16 now he face Park Sung Hwan.

Now the score is 21-18, (THwin) 19-21 (he lost) and 3 set lead 10-7.

Really strage considering TH had a day off yesterday and PSH had to fight three sets against CJ yesterday.

If TH win today, I wonder how about tomorrow match with possibly BCL?

I think Simon's career won't last for too long.

I wonder what Indra was thinking when he read what you wrote here...:p

Mean while Lee Yun Hwa managed to play three set with WMC and she lead the last set 6-4.

Maybe the KOrean girls got motivated after seeing the boys fight in final against China.

TH-PSH 12-10

Who will had more energy left? TH or PSH?

Indra probably praying really hard now :D

Park is givng TH all he can handle. Close 3rd game so far. As for Simon, well... say no more, steamrolled by Ng Wei. :rolleyes:

TH-PSH 12-10

Who will had more energy left? TH or PSH?

Indra probably praying really hard now :D
Naw, He's working on his next prediction i bet;)

What a tense moment! (For TH fans)

After reaching 14-11, PSH managed to catch 2 points to 14-13 for TH.

A tight game for TH, but he should win.

TH's chance against BCL tomorrow - if he wins today - is 49 - 51 for BCL, but I hope he would win, well, he will have to beat PSH first today, although he's strugling to close the game with a win.

For TH, I wonder what excused he can give right now?

In R16 now he face Park Sung Hwan.

Now the score is 21-18, (THwin) 19-21 (he lost) and 3 set lead 10-7.

16-15 for TH. Nail biters moment guys!

And now PSH lead 17-16! Will this be a suprising moment?

Also of note, Xing of SIN too out Mori (JAP) rather comfortably and the 2 scratch MAS XD pairs have moved into the QF.

TH 15-13 Park
Hwang 11-9 WMC

TH lead back 18-17! He really need to close the match fast!

16-15 for TH. Nail biters moment guys!

And now PSH lead 17-16! Will this be a suprising moment?

come on PSH, we want to see an upset! :D :D :D

TH win with 21-17 in last set.

Mas fans will be crying a river now cause Lee YH lead 19-12 to WMC now. Only a miracle can save WMC now!

Yep its all over for WMC lost in third set with 12-21.

Wow that was close. TH's experience probably won it for him in the end.
WMC in trouble down 16-11. Oops, it's all over now 21-12

The title of this thread is kind of confusing, individual events are not in the quarterfinal until tomorrow.

Thanks for updating the thread's title

So, it seems like there is no live broadcasting today, how about tomorrow?

RS is playing BCL now, BCL leading 6 -5 in the first game

BCL took first game 21-15.

(dunno whether to cry or laugh)

BCL took first game 21-15.

(dunno whether to cry or laugh)

...but... RS winning 12-9 in second game

...and RS takes 2nd game 21-17.

good to see that there's a fight at least....

It's too early to say it's BCL... :D Susilo is doing well so far. Remember this guy is among the few who has beaten LD before!

A tight game for TH, but he should win.

TH's chance against BCL tomorrow - if he wins today - is 49 - 51 for BCL, but I hope he would win, well, he will have to beat PSH first today, although he's strugling to close the game with a win.

Yep, they split and now BCL is leading 14 - 8 though ... so both TH and BCL will be "ready" for tomorrow's big match ... :cool:

It's too early to say it's BCL... :D Susilo is doing well so far. Remember this guy is among the few who has beaten LD before!

17 - 12 for BCL now

It seems like RS is back to his form, like before injury, cool, more competitions ...

It's too early to say it's BCL... :D Susilo is doing well so far. Remember this guy is among the few who has beaten LD before!

So now, it's still BCL anyway. haha...

BCL won it 21 - 15, 17 - 21, 21 - 14, congrats ...

Here I come TH ... get ready to create a new thread tomorrow, either:

1. Why Did TH Lose
2. Why Did BCL Lose

:D

Good match going on between Hirose and Nehwal. 25-23 first game to Hirose.
