MS

I predict a repeat of the Malaysian Open final.

For the semifinals, they only use one court. In Malaysia, there were two courts. One court is better, although inevitably there will be a few boring matches. But it would be a disaster if two good matches were to play at the same time. Other SS events should follow Korea Open's planning.

:) My predictions:
MD
Tony/Candra v Jung JS/Lee YD

Not gonna happen.

How much has KKK left in the tank? Would TBH hit more winners than KKK hit unforced errors? KOR MD has beaten them before and can beat them again on account of being fresher and having a MAS coach.
Although Hafiz is H2H 0-3 to CJ, he probably has a better chance playing CJ than LCW.This is CJ's second SS but effectively Hafiz first since he crashed out in R1 of MO07, so Hafiz should still have stamina. He'll play smart like vs CH, ie, win 1st game, lose 2nd game quickly and hopefully have enough left to close in the 3rd. Effectively,it means he plays two games.Let's see what happens tomorrow. In the meantime ,enjoy laughing!

I think it is very possible that Jung/Lee can beat Tony/Candra. I rate Jung/Lee quite highly. Of course, I rate Tony/Candra a little bit higher, but this is in Korea. Just last week, remember how the home support pushed the home pair to win.

That's a bit dangerous, isn't it? That means he must win 2 out of 2, because he has effectively thrown one game away. On paper, since he beat Chen Hong who beat Chen Jin last week, Hafiz should beat Chen Jin. But we all know it's not like that. Still I rate Hafiz as a potential equal to Chen Jin. It's just that he rarely fulfills his potential. I am already quite happy for him for becoming more himself this time around. Best of luck to him.

There are 11 semifinalist which are chinese. Somebody has got to do something here.

Well, they got there fair and square. The rest of the world will just have to keep trying.

On paper, since he beat Chen Hong who beat Chen Jin last week, Hafiz should beat Chen Jin. .
Your example is so bias:p... but that's fine...:p Here is a different view...

On paper, Chen Hong> Chen Jin whom beat Hafiz 3-0 in convincing fashion... Then Shouldn't Chen Hong destroy Hafiz completely even if he's injured???:p

Chen Jin beat LCW> Hafiz... then Chen Jin should destroy Hafiz this time???:D:D:D

Chen Jin will win anyways... Hafiz doesn't play well against people whom rank higher than him unless they are injured...:p

You can't expect them all to give a walkover to everyone else now, can you?:p

Best of luck to him.I like your rating of Hafiz but you are still sceptical of his performance.Rest assured, this time he is gonna prevail.He has almost everything:speed,power,defence,reach and a cool and calm temperament.If he is to get rid of the fancy stuff and stay focus,I would not be at all surprise,that he follows his brother's path to the final of the KO.Then,I wouldn't be surprised his former critics will sing a different tune.Likewise,I wish him all the best.

ya i agree w u
i was thr watching semis n thr were 2 courts
so we can only watch n concentrate on 1 court
dont even know wat's happening on d other court
hehe
KO is organising it better

Typical of you to quote things out of context.

I also think Chen Jin will beat Hafiz but for me, it's not a guarantee like you seem to imply. If Hafiz happens to win, I wonder if you will go the way of some Taufik fans and say Chen Jin is injured. But you've already said Chen Hong is injured so I guess you are not immune to that.

ZN pulled out of the tournament.

Where did you hear this?

Where did you hear this?

She was in the draw as the top seed. After her withdrawal (and also Jiang Yanjiao's), her place was claimed by Maria Kristin who was PFQ (promoted from qualification).

It would be nice if we have rematch of the MO men's doubles final.

MD
Kien Keat KOO/Boon Heong TAN - Jae Jin LEE/Ji Man HWANG
The MAS pair have hit a purple patch with further incentive of making it into the top 30
Tony GUNAWAN/Chandra WIJAYA - Jae Sung JUNG/Yong Dae LEE
It'll be close but I can see the Koreans pulling it off. I hope I'm proven wrong

WD
Ling GAO/Sui HUANG - Kyung Won LEE/Hyo Jung LEE

Yawen ZHANG/Yili WEI - Wei YANG/Jiewen ZHANG
Seedings must be followed. This is the LYB rule

Kamilla RYTTER JUHL/Thomas LAYBOURN - Gail EMMS/Nathan ROBERTSON

An interesting one. Will there be team orders? I'll call for the senior pair to win

MS
Muhd Hafiz B HASHIM - Jin CHEN
Sticking my neck out. Hafiz is good enough to win. Whether he can, we'll see
Dan LIN - Chunlai BAO
I predict BCL will get some sort of "injury" part way through

WS
Petya NEDELTCHEVA - Lin ZHU
The on-form Zhu to beat the very game Petya
Lan LU - Xingfang XIE
I am going to call for a Lu Lan upset

She was in the draw as the top seed. After her withdrawal (and also Jiang Yanjiao's), her place was claimed by Maria Kristin who was PFQ (promoted from qualification).

I see. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of injury(?) it was

LOL! Are these predictions or who you hope will win? Seems like the latter to me. :p

Lin Dan v Bao Chunlai
Chen Jin v Hafiz
Heart wants Hafiz to win. Head knows it will be very difficult.

Good post. Your heart wants Hafiz but like you said, in reality it's going to be tough. I'm confident it'll be a good game though CJ will win. ;) :p

I see. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of injury(?) it was

Officially, it was the flu that inflicted the team. In MO, quite a number of Chinese players withdrew. In KO, some of them came back, but not all. I guess some of them recovered faster than the rest.

Typical of you to quote things out of context.

I also think Chen Jin will beat Hafiz but for me, it's not a guarantee like you seem to imply. If Hafiz happens to win, I wonder if you will go the way of some Taufik fans and say Chen Jin is injured. But you've already said Chen Hong is injured so I guess you are not immune to that.

I quote things out of context because that's the only part I like to comment on.

I am just kidding about Chen Jin winning for sure, as we all know there is no guarantee in badminton or in life. Hafiz's matches are the most entertaining to watch, as you don't know what he will pull out... whether a good performance, or the funniest performance ever(like losing 11+ match points to LHI:p:D:D:D:D)

My entire post was not even serious at all... just wanted to prove that my point of view can be proven true as well using the method you used before.

Geez... you guys need to relax a bit... this is just a forum for fun and expressing ideas.:p:D:D Plus I am not a hardcore fan, and blame the loss of a player on injury... if Chen Jin lose(slim chance though) tomorrow, then it just means Hafiz must have played better.







LOL! :p Banana, you a funny guy...errr...boy! :D

I am glad you know most of my posts aren't serious at all... they are meant to add some fun or tension in the forum.

Peace and quiet in a forum = boring...:p

But you've already said Chen Hong is injured so I guess you are not immune to that.
He gave up his semi-final match in Malaysia open... good enough to "suggest" he is injured.:p If you want to argue that point, there are other members in "Injury thread" ready to do that with you, but not me.

Ah, knew I shouldn't have risen to the bait. Discipline, discipline ...

I'm itching to see Chen Jin vs Lin Dan in the final

I'm itching to see Chen Jin vs Lin Dan in the final

Lin Dan has played Chen Jin several occasions before... if they meet again this time, at least we can see Chen Jin going full strength against Lin Dan.

Actually, have we ever seen a Bao vs Chen Jin match before???

More interesting would be Bao vs Hafiz in final... you don't know if Hafiz will do his yo-yo thing, or will Mr. Runner-up live up to his nick-name again...:p

Actually, have we ever seen a Bao vs Chen Jin match before???



Yes I think so for they have met in the 2005 China Open where in the quarter or semi-final, Bao disposed of Chen Jin, whom had taken out Xia Xuanze in the previous round, but went on to lose to Chen Hong in the final.

Thanks for you information.:D

I am now really anticipating a Mr. Runner-up vs Yo-Yo match in the final... it will be more for entertainment than a technical analysis on my part.:p:D:D:D

Here's a thought:

If Hafiz wins, will China team management ask Bao Chun Lai to concede walkover to Lin Dan?

Since there is only 1 court in Korean Open, does that mean Astro will be showing all 10 matches (XD,MS,WS,MD,WD). Or Astro will skip the XD like in Malaysian Open?

Can someone also tell us what is the order of play this afternoon?

Koo Kin Keat and Tan Boon Heong starts at 2 pm (I think Korean time) and Astro listed in their website 1pm the time they start showing the Korean Open matches. So I believe they are going to show all 10 matches.

MD
Kien Keat KOO/Boon Heong TAN - Jae Jin LEE/Ji Man HWANG
The MAS pair have hit a purple patch with further incentive of making it into the top 30


With their semi-final appearance in KO, they will at least move up to somewhere between 30th-35th placing on coming Thursday (not much difference if they become the runner-up). However, should they win the KO title, they will break into top-30 - which is going to be an unprecedented achievement (correct me if I'm wrong) as a player or a pair breaking into top-30 within the first three ranking point-offering events that they participate in. Well, even if they lost the semi-final match today, they just need to advance to the quarter-final in their next SS event to break into top-30.

Thanks for the precise info. I kinda knew they were close but you have clarified it. Unprecedented or not, it's pretty damn impressive!:eek:

hahahahaahahaha:D:D:D:D:D:D

If you ask me I think Hafiz might win this one. Why ? If you have noticed, the last few matches, he starts off like a rocket. He is learning the 'art of displacing his opponents' by not allowing them to think. Unfortunately, in the past, it saps your energy --- to be able toimplement this kind of fast play, you need to be very fit (anybody who plays badminton knows how much energy is required).

Hafiz must be working hard to get that bit covered -- trying to get very fit. He might just get there with this game, I cannot believe his fitness has not gained lately. So beware, if you predict a loss for him. He is ready to surprise with this 'work-fast' strategy.

You got my backing Hafiz.

My Prediction:
Tony/Candra v Jung Jae Sung /Lee Yong Dae
Koo KK/Tan BH v Hwang Ji Man/Lee Jae Jin


WD
Gao Ling/Huang Sui v Lee Kyong Won/Lee Hyo Jung

You know they are playing in KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their Hometown

you're absolutely right my fren. he's working on the win 2 lose 1 strategy. In my opinion, he's more talented than our fren LCW, he's got a better harware than LCW, height wise, juz tat he's too lazy and yoyo'ing around sometime. If this time around he got his stamina and fitness sorted out....haha.....he might juz make it again this AE?

Looks like CHN will create 3 All-CHN-Final for tomorrow match.

MD : the MAS's phenomenal duo vs the combination pair
XD : wanna see the new pair ZB/GL continuing their path into 2nd success after MO last week.

Overall, poor INA especially Sony who almost entered last 4 but FAILED. Bad day for him...

the 1st game is just so wasted...perhaps Msian MD are shocked with the wave of korean supporters...haha

yessir for korea! 21-10, 21-18

too late a charge and the koreans win 21-19

correction: 21-18

yessir for korea! 21-10, 21-18
go lee jae jin!

that's way too fast. i don't think the MASians even have time to warm up.

sigh. we are international badminton lovers, CCTV5 don't cater to us... :(

haha...what to do.. its just too bad...somehow if they say gonna broadcast SF...they should hv start at 2... if they ony intended to show the chinese players games only...make it clear...haha

so the koreans cruise to final with the 2nd game by 21-19

can the koreans WD pull an upset? look how the MD played!!!

sickgal, is it 18 or 19 for the malaysians?

what happened to the Malaysian supporters on BC? i thought i would get some counter-cheering? why so quiet today?

many many congrats to the korean teams!!! perhaps there'll be 2 koreans team in the final....wakakka..i certainly do not hope so...haha

Really surprising... HJM must be performing 120% this time... I guess KKK/TBH got too excited after winning MO and could not really concentrate. Anyway, waiting for the video!

yessir for korea! 21-10, 21-18
go lee jae jin!

it time to bash KKK/TBH now yiihaa..

i think koreans can read mas game better this time esp w tan kin her as their coachn rexy is not thr

game 1 is wasted
any1 watching it live in astro?
are d koreans preventing mas fr smashing?
mas shld do more variety of their game instead of always smashing n lifting

can the koreans WD pull an upset? look how the MD played!!!
it is quiet possible. the Chinese WDs hasn't been as solid as they used to be. but their arch-rival the Lee's aren't as strong as when Ra Kyung Min was their partners.

it is possible. but all badminton halls are like that. you will find that while the audience are also lit, the random patterns formed by the clothing makes a nice background that highlights the white shuttle well. visibility is never a problem.

Since last week I think. :D

what happened to the Malaysian supporters on BC? i thought i would get some counter-cheering? why so quiet today?

No matter how fantastic KKK/TBH are, LCW is still the MAS badminton star. The moment LCW goes out, so does 80% of MAS fans.
And I want to thank Abedeng for the fabulous commentating yesterday from sheer imagination. Will have to wait for LCW to play to get that treat again.

i noticed that....maybe because they are increasing in age each year (don't like the word starting with the letter "o")

13-10 to GL/HS......

now is 13-10 to the chinese....

i am quite suprised to hear that. i always have the feeling that Malaysian fans support all Malaysian players equally.

just bcoz they lost in this time around in the SF and others victory that they achieved since being paired up do not count??? :confused::confused::p

sure, it's counted !! however, when they won when they play in KL last week ! They need to show that they can win everywhere before they can be regarded as good as other's pair had shown such as TG / CW

can any one open cctv-5 using tvants?
CHN leading 14-11

now is 13-10 to the chinese....

ok. now they are awake.

the koreans is still 3 points behind... 11-14

any koreans in BADMINTONCENTRAL?
CAN we view SBS SPORT online?

ok. now they are awake.

thanks budich for a more thoughtful comment... ;)

it is true. a true master can win anywhere.

now the chinese team is leading 5 points ahead...16-11

any koreans in BADMINTONCENTRAL?
CAN we view SBS SPORT online?

i looked through pplive, ppstream, tvants last night and couldn't find SBS Sport...

pulling away are the chinese 17-11

thanks budich for a more thoughtful comment... ;)

it is true. a true master can win anywhere.

its just too early to say anything yet... if AG not counted as it's in 2006... now it's only the 2nd tournament in 2007...we'll see...:p

the koreans are catching up...13-17

a slight comeback by the koreans 18-14 now to CHN

i noticed that....maybe because they are increasing in age each year (don't like the word starting with the letter "o")

"age challenged".

set point to the chinese gals 20-15

the chinese is one more point away from the 1st game win...hehe

yes Kwun...thanks for the synonym! the buffering on tvants only goes up to 99% and then stops...anyone with the same problem?
koeans staging quite a remarkable comeback 18-20

saving 3 matchpoints in a row...wow!!

waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh 19-20....come on CHN

wow..its 19-20....Gl/Hs.... jia you jia you..don't let go the 1st game!!

not another "last year MS MO"

The Chinese ladies pulled away after the interval, followed by some spurts of points from Korean ladies before China took it 21-19
China had like 6 game points before finishing it, nice comeback from from koreans

thank God nothing like that happened 21-19 to CHN...phew

getting worse..i can't see the cctv5 in my tvu player list..anyone face the same thing??/

See what i mean when i refer to a typical Malaysian trait, "periodic performance"! Its time for Hafiz to save face>

well...gl/hs.... go go go... win the 2nd game too!! hehe

can anyone tell me who has beaten lee hyun ill in this KO??roslin?

lee tsuan seng..

do you know any software can provide us SBS SPORT?
any from CBS or KBS?

can anyone tell me who has beaten lee hyun ill in this KO??roslin?
Lee Tsuen Seng took down the LHI, pretty poor performance from the korean too, 21-14, 21-8 or something

i looked through pplive, ppstream, tvants last night and couldn't find SBS Sport...

where is mikemike when we need him??

CCTV5 is showing volleyball at 2pm. :(

sure, it's counted !! however, when they won when they play in KL last week ! They need to show that they can win everywhere before they can be regarded as good as other's pair had shown such as TG / CW

It's KKK's 18th match in maybe 10 or 11 days! There's only so much the body can hold up. Don't think TBH/KKK can win another title unless KKK drops XD or lose the first XD match, in which case , why bother about XD?

sickgal, i can see it but no signal...other channels are ok. having more trouble with tvants.
2-1 to CHN in the second

chinese is leading..2-1

die la...the channel of cctv5 is missing from tvu list...sigh sigh..wanna watch badminton.....

i think koo/tan can be one of the top pairs. and i never expect them to win everytime they play so i am ok with their defeat today. only thing is i dont know how they played since i see no visual. so if they did their best i still say well done. and i support all malaysian players that play well. not just LCW. actually, not until recently did i pay attention to local badminton again and the last two years LCW won the malaysian open. so not, i dont think the fans will not support the malaysian team now that LCW is not playing up to mark. GO MALAYSIA!

do you know any software can provide us SBS SPORT?
any from CBS or KBS?

KBS1/2 is showing korean soap and korean singing.

die la...the channel of cctv5 is missing from tvu list...sigh sigh..wanna watch badminton.....

if you click SPORTS(GD), you will get cctv5. they have it wired wrong. they are showing volleyball now anyway. so no go.

i don't think any channel is showing....i'm desperate like you guys!!! but i'll just have to stick to the live scoring

i am quite suprised to hear that. i always have the feeling that Malaysian fans support all Malaysian players equally.

I think most malaysians watching on Astro.. So they are in front of their TV rather than the comp.

will CCTV be broadcasting again once Chinese players play?? does anyone know??

8-3 to the chinese ladies

if you click SPORTS(GD), you will get cctv5. they have it wired wrong. they are showing volleyball now anyway. so no go.
