Yeoh Kay Bin, if I remember correctly, was very close to beating CJ or CY in the MO. I would like to think this time round, he would want it more and will beat CY. He is going to do a Hafiz act, beating a Chinese after several tries.

My best wishes go to him in this.

[alfa2]

I was so sorry tat im not around to bash in order to support our Msian MD.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: but I did my part (bashing support) for the singles.....less bashing less smashing i guess....or less bashing gets more smashing??? Fairuz/LWF and KBH are just plain suffering for the supporters.:mad::mad::mad: I felt ashamed somehow our national champion tends to fall so easily at the early rounds....so we should bash them as early as we could from now on, so they could go further. It's the super series style !!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

My best wishes go to him in this.
It will be very difficult for YKB to pull it off against Chen Yu, as YKB is not technically nor tatically equal to the Chinese top 5 players(there is at least one level between Chen Yu and YKB in skill difference). In World Cup 2006, Chen Jin wasn't even close to going full speed against YKB, and simply just took him out with ease. (Yes, not a good comparison since Chen Jin is sightly better than Chen Yu...but close enough:p)

The odds are in favor for Chen Yu, but the fact that this will be Chen Yu's 1st match in this Korea Open may causes some challenge for him, as he is not used to the atmosphere of the gymnaism and court due to Gade's walkover in the 1st round.

In the worst scenerio, I would say Chen Yu will still pull it off, but may take 3 sets.:p

[alfa2]

Im so happy to see the old timer Roslin playing again....hopes he can go further than his younger brother though, as some kind of motivation for his younger brother to do well in future. have somehow lose hope on this AE winner..:confused::confused::confused:...misbun should get him a fitness trainer....and we should we bash him more often. :cool::cool::cool:

[hcyong]

This is really hard love. Do we really have to bash our players all the time? :)

[hcpoirot]

Any of you know why Indonesia did not play Simon Santoso in MO and KO 2007?

At least Sonny did okay in MO and pretty good in KO.

[hcpoirot]

I feel pretty bad for ZTT.

She did very well with Chen Qi Qiu in XD. Although rarely win a title, at least they consistently reach QF or better. Than CQQ retired and she pair with Zheng Bo. They did pretty well and managed to won 1 title last year.

Then the famous incident in WC2006 and LYB split them.

Now she had to stuck with ZJ who like we all know not as good as lets say 2 or more than years ago.

How come LYB did not paired ZTT with lets say Cai Yun or Fu Hai Feng? Or maybe the youngster like He Bin or Shen Ye?

I think i'm kind of outdated. What is the famous incident in WC 2006?

[GunBlade008]

I think in wc2006, lyb split the original pairings of Zhang Jun and Gao Ling and paired them with other partners. It didnt pay off at the time..

[Wong8Egg]

How's the crowd there at Korea? Does the super series mark any differences over the Korea open last year???

Simon has drag into deep non-technical analize in pelatnas , since he's no sign to be atleat top10 players during 3 years carer, eventhough pelatnas put him a high target to replace no1 Ina player (taufik) within 4years, now they have to search another talenta Ina player... and I beleive so many talenta in local badminton club:D

[alfa2]

This is really hard love. Do we really have to bash our players all the time? :)

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D i guess the more we love our players the more we will bash them especially when they dont perform up to their standard (once in a while is acceptable like Lin Dan but not like Fairuz/LWF or KBH).....I think it's just a way to let go of our GERAMness and being able to love them again.....so it's good after all?? :p:p:p hehehhe...

[tjl_vanguard]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D i guess the more we love our players the more we will bash them especially when they dont perform up to their standard (once in a while is acceptable like Lin Dan but not like Fairuz/LWF or KBH).....I think it's just a way to let go of our GERAMness and being able to love them again.....so it's good after all?? :p:p:p hehehhe...
haha alfa2, yday we did a great job bashin hafiz to win rite?? we were so supportive of him to win the 2nd set but he lost easily.. after some bashing, he won the 3rd... haha should do that when LCW vs LD alright??? haha

[abedeng]

I suppose we can and should be objective and critical of our players, given that we and the coaches know what their true potential is. It is not like we MAS supporters cannot accept loss .... Remember BAM money came from Govt, Govt money came from us. So we are investing in them too.

2 tournaments, and KBH didn't deliver, and I thought he already recovered from the TC loss by the year end.

For Fairuz/Lin, it's 3. They flopped in AG too.

LCW is probably still affected by the long season last year, playing in too many tournaments (with Hafiz/KBH underperforming and WCH injured). Even then he still manages to hold his own except against the very top players.

[tjl_vanguard]

Bao CL v Shon SM
easy job for BAOBAO

Hafiz v Ng Wei
cont. his killing spree???? yes?? no??? we'll see...

Lee TS v Sony
LTS got nothing to lose but to beat Sony.... he can make since he can beat LHI


Julia Wong v Nedeltcheva
If Julia can beat Pi Hongyan, how can she probably lose to this Bulgarian....

Zhu Lin v Tine Rasmussen
apparently, this Chinese is in great form for her second title in a row...

Wong MC v Lu Lan
tough tough tough tough tough.... but i'm betting on my sweetheart....


Fu/Cai v Gunawan/Riyadi
unless Ina pair uses magik like TBS/OSH did in Mo...

Koo KK/Tan BH v Clark/Blair
yes yes yes... another killing spree going on... unless they are too tired, Eng will take it away from my MO Champ!!

Choong TF/Lee WW v Sudket/Patapol
hard to say.. usually i would say Mas total control but seems like they are very shaky.. just wait and see but as usual im banking on my country men...

Tan BS/Ong SH v Eriksen/Lundgaard
yes.. mas could take this one... the Japs took Den to 3sets yday.. and the score was close.. its Mas pair for that taking... hope so..


Lee KW/Lee HJ v Maeda/Suetsuna
no comments....

Polii/Marissa v Akao/Matsuda
this is because Ina is my neighbour...

Polii/Rizal v Juhl/Laybourn
Den got a big chance...

Unfortunately, you have to take the good with the bad. Over time, the bad would fall away. It works on the Law of Averages.:confused: ?

It is not one country experiencing this -- every country, except of course China.:) Players are humans and humans are not infallible. They do have their menopauses !;)

When you have so many pairs, it is difficult for all of them to be playing superbly at the same time. Sometime in the future, maybe Fairuz/Lin will perform superbly and the others flop.

Roslin knows he is the target of bashing, and maintains lead, 13-10.

[spchu]

I thought I can leave Roslin alone when I saw him leading 7-2 just now. He let another unheralded player claw his way back.

[abedeng]

Lee tries to push forward, 6-9, only to lose the serve, 6-10.

[abedeng]

GL/ZB on gamepoint, 20-10. Roslin leads Roman, 7-4. Sony at critical point, 19-17.

[alfa2]
