Indonesian League 2007 (Liga Indonesia)

[Krisna]

Tonight, we saw an interesting SGS Elektrik doubles combo:
Taufik Hidayat-Flandy Limpele! :eek:-:eek:
The last time these powerful smashers appear was in the 2004 National Championship...

They played well, powerful backhands by Taufik, powerful firepower from Flandy... but in the end, the composure, persistent pressure, and shot-variety of the experienced doubles specialist: Luluk Hadiyanto-Mohammad Ahsan of Djarum defeated them...

was this shown on local tv? I sure like to buy the videos of this liga INA.

[bic33]

i'd like to see taufik play doubles.. i think he is already slow for MD... he's naturally a singles player... videos pleaaaseeee.. :D

[Krisna]

During the game, the audience were saying "Give it to Taufik! Attack Taufik!" :p :p At one point, Taufik complained to the umpire. Before the umpire reacted, Luluk & Ahsan already signalled "quiet down please' to the crowd. They probably didn't want to see any ugly scene... like a few years ago ...when Taufik threw a punch to a very irritating INA spectator... :o

In INA we are allowed to make all sort of noises before they serve, during the point, during the smash attacks, during a long rally, anytime... And then we can shout out bla-bla-bla... without the umpire notifying us... Hahaha... :p From time to time, you will hear very very unfriendly comments, though... Mmm, such as: "Go back to the village and just farm, boy..." Ha ha ha... That's when a Taufik type player can erupt... :p :o

Maybe Krisna knows the details, super liga news in sport-page of daily newspaper has very limited space. And via internet, OoO it's totally very slow to update last result because no live-score facility.

[nugroho]

wow.. i just read Suaramerdeka.com that maria kristin beat Detya N with straight sets 21-11, 21-11... that's cool... she need to be more consistent....

[fabcargo]

wow.. i just read Suaramerdeka.com that maria kristin beat Detya N with straight sets 21-11, 21-11... that's cool... she need to be more consistent....

Petya arrived with a slightly injured shoulder. The RSL shuttle is very slow and the hall is really humid with very bad aircond. This make the shuttle even slower and her elbow worse. And after she play to 3 sets with Wang Chen she has no more power in her right arm. She has been taking medicine and treating with ice. Hope she will be better soon.

She is such a nice lady.

[Krisna]

Oh, I just found out Suryanaga defeated Tangkas 5-0 in the end... Tommy Sugiarto lost to Ng Wei in the last game.

I agree that Kompas and Jakarta Post give very little coverage on this subject. Those 2 newspaper have gone Wimbledon-tennis crazy! :p [in the past few days]

For more extensive coverage, check out Indo Pos, Jawa Pos, and Top Skor newspapers... or read www.bulutangkis.com (http://www.bulutangkis.com) ;)

[Krisna]

Yeah, I notice that Petya didn't play to her full potential yesterday against Maria Kristin... But hey, a win is a win. Maria can come up with many excuses herself when she was beaten by Petya 1.5 months ago in the Indonesian Open...

The coverage of the media is worst. I am very frustrated as the newspaper today can't give us the matched that played at 6.30 pm yesterday.

The official website is worst. they just updated the 6.30 pm result after lunch the next day

I agree! :mad:

Well, I'm there everyday after work [only the games that start at 6:30pm]. So I will post whatever I know on BC at night. That way, our fellow fans can get the results faster... :p

Although... my capability is limited because I tend to watch the most interesting matchup up-close... which means my knowledge of the other 3 games [that are simultaneously playing] tend to be limited to the big picture score... :p

Ha ha ha, you might be right... :D

Almost all the Indonesian players I talked to tend to say they like the loud crowd-noise... Gives them extra lift! :D The louder the better!

Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia 2007
Tangkas dan Jayaraya Kembali Menang TelakOleh adminSenin, 25-Juni-2007, 04:35:30112 klikhttp://www.bulutangkis.com/images/friend.gif (http://www.bulutangkis.com/friend.php?op=FriendSend&artid=2333)http://www.bulutangkis.com/images/print.gif (http://www.bulutangkis.com/mod.php?mod=publisher&op=printarticle&artid=2333)JAKARTA (Suara Karya): Tim Putri Tangkas dan putra Jayaraya kembali menunjukkan kualitasnya sebagai klub yang pantas diperhitungkan dalam Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia (SDI) 2007.JAKARTA (Suara Karya): Tim Putri Tangkas dan putra Jayaraya kembali menunjukkan kualitasnya sebagai klub yang pantas diperhitungkan dalam Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia (SDI) 2007.

Kemarin dua klub top Jakarta itu menggulung lawan-lawannya dengan skor telak 5-0 di GOR Sumatri Brojonegoro, Kuningan, Jakarta.

Putri Tangkas dengan motor Liliyana Natsir dan Vita Marisa unggul jauh atas Bina Bangsa Jakarta. Bukan saja Tangkas menang telak 5-0 namun juga hampir semua partai direbut dengan straight set. Bahkan pemain-pemain Bina Bangsa tidak ada satu pun yang diberi angka lebih dari 17.

Kemenangan telak itu merupakan pemanis dari sukses Putri Tangkas sehari sebelumnya ketika menghancurkan tim unggulan Suryanaga Gudang Garam. Tangkas membungkam lawannya dari Surabaya itu 5-0. Dengan hasil itu Tangkas belum terkalahkan dalam tiga penampilan.

Pada bagian putra, wakil Ibu Kota, Jayaraya juga tidak mendapat perlawanan berarti saat menghadapi Mutiara Bandung. Jaya Raya yand diperkuat oleh Kendrick Lee, Ronald Susilo, Taufik Akbar, Hendra S/Markis Kido dan Chandra Wijaya/Joko R menang telak 5-0. Jayaraya juga belum terkalahkan dalam tiga penampilan setelah sebelumnya menundukkan Ratih Banten dan Tangkas Jakarta.

Namun hari ini Putri Tangkas harus waspada karena akan menghadapi tim tangguh Djarum Kudus yang sampai berita ini diturunkan sudah mengantongi dua kemenangan. Sedangkan Putra Jayaraya bertemu tim favorit Suryanaga Gudang Garam Surabaya yang sudah menang dua kali. Salah satu diantaranya menggulung Djarum Kudus 4-1.

Putra Suryanaga mempunyai kekuatan yang merata. Apalagi setelah diperkuat pemain asing Chen Hong dan Ng Wei. Materi Suryanaga lainnya adalah Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Alvent Y/Trikus dan Bambang S/Roni A. Melihat komposisi kekuatan kedua tim maka diperkirakan pertarungan Jayaraya dan Suryanaga akan berlangsung ketat dan menarik.

Dalam pertandingan sesi siang kemarin, terjadi pertarungan sengit antara Putra Ratih Baten dan Musica Champion Kudus. Pertarungan ini akhirnya dimenangkan oleh Musica dengan skor tipis 3-2.

A Rivai yang turun pada pertandingan pertama harus menyerah di tangan Lee Tsuen Seng, 15-21, 9-21, dan di tunggal kedua Dani R juga harus mengakui keunggulan dari Dyonisius Hayom Rumbaka, 12-21, 18-21.

Ratih Banten baru bisa memperkecil kedudukan menjadi 2-1 setelah pemain tunggal ketiga Ikeda berhasil mengalahkan Hu Yun dengan rubber game 21-18, 16-21, 21-18, Ratih kembali tertinggal setelah di bagian ganda putra pertama Rio.W/Davin.P menelan kekalahan dari pasangan Ade Lukas/ Hadi Saputra 18-21, 13-21. Pasanagan Rioni/Aoyama kembali memperkecil ketinggalan menjadi 3-2 setelah menumbangkan Lingga Lie/Rizal 21-18, 21-15.

Pada bagian putri Ratih Banten juga menelan kekalahan setelah takluk di tangan SGS Elektrik Bandung 1-4. Tunggal pertama Yuli M berhasil meraih kemenangan atas Rahma. S, 21-12, 21-10 kemenangan ini membawa dampak positif pada rekannya di tunggal kedua Pu Pin Pamela kembali menang atas Alvinasi.N, 21-15, 21-11, kemenagan kedua rekannya ternyata tidak diikuti oleh Lina Herlina yang herus menelan kekalahan atas Hani.S, 11-21, 21-13, 10-21, dan pada ganda SGS masih terlalu tangguh bagi Ratih Banten. (Apik/suarakarya-online.com)

[Krisna]

According to my [amateurish] wrap up, the league leaders and top contenders are:

Women Club Win Lose Match Win Lose
Djarum 3 - 0, 15 - 0
Tangkas 3 - 0, 14 - 1
Jaya Raya 2 - 1, 11 - 4


Today, Djarum vs. Tangkas! The battle of the [so far] undefeated clubs. I predict 4 - 1 Tangkas win... ;) The only win by Rosaria Pungkasari over either Yuan Kartika or Melicia Kurniawan... :p

Unless... Maria Kristin can defeat Wang Chen or Maria Elfira can defeat Yip Pui Yin... Unlikely, I think... :o

Hi Krisna!

This is the first time I heard that Taufik plays doubles.:confused:

Thanks again for the updates! Honestly, the best player for me, given that they (players) are at their peak, is Taufik Hidayat!;)

Taufik Hidayat of SGS Elektrik played singles and doubles again! :eek: :eek: But today he won both matches:

The biggest UPSET so far in this tournament!
Sony Dwi Kuncoro of Suryanaga was in a battle to the death match against Ronald Susilo of Jaya Raya, eventually winning 15-21, 22-20, 21-14... :p
Hendra Setiawan-Markis Kido vs. Alvent-Trikus 21-10, 15-21, 21-17

So this is the surprise of the day... Jaya Raya defeating Suryanaga 3-2.

Jaya Raya leads the league now with 4 wins and no losses... :cool:

[Krisna]

I think the Chen Hong vs. Simon Santoso marathon yesterday affected both these players. Simon almost lost to Ahmad Rivai of Ratih:
19-21, 21-18, 22-20!

While Chen Hong didn't have enough gas to keep up with Kendrick Lee...

I have the data on Games W-L and Points W-L, but they are not necessary [for the time being] to determine the rankings of the women. So I think the info above is enough [for now]. For the details. I suppose the Superliga website should have it soon. I hope...

After the games, I just went to the officials and asked for the most recent standings... :p They were nice enough to give me a printout... :cool:

[Smichz]

hmmm...interesting matches!Where r those matches held in?Throughout indo,or just around java island?Does Indo TV stations broadcast this league thing?If they are,it'll be fun for me to spent my holiday later on,watching lots of baddie games.Hehe..

Btw,is TH really involved in MD or just for fun?I wanna see him playing MD in international championships.LoL..

[Krisna]

hmmm...interesting matches!Does Indo TV stations broadcast this league thing?If they are,it'll be fun for me to spent my holiday later on,watching lots of baddie games.Hehe..

Btw,is TH really involved in MD or just for fun?I wanna see him playing MD in international championships.LoL..

Indosiar TV only broadcast the finals of the Women's team and Men's team. This Saturday and Sunday afternoon.... :cool: On weekdays, just the recaps... :D

Taufik actually loves to play Men's doubles.... in Indonesia. Because in our country, he is often bored because no Men's singles here can really match him. Perhaps only Sony and Simon. He practices with them everyday. Maybe after 10 years in the National team, practicing Singles there is getting really boring. Ha ha ha.

So I heard from the National Team doubles players that Taufik sometimes would just practice with the MD team. He is damn qualified to be a world class MD. Although not TOP OF THE WORLD-class like Cai Yun - Fu Haifeng and KKK-TBH. :p

Xie Xinfang is supposedly also a very good doubles player. She won the WD Junior World Championship a few years back... Xie Xinfang once said in an interview that she is definitely a better doubles player than her boyfriend, Lin Dan... :p

[Krisna]

All these Superliga Badminton matches are just held in Jakarta. Same building. Everyday 1pm games-until finish, 6:30pm games-until finish...

[Smichz]

hehe..great story.Yeah,i heard that LD once admit he plays a poor MD.Nice to hear that our TH still can play a good MD.Btw,when's the new season begins?I'll be going back on july,n i guess this season ends before that.=(
So,Indosiar will broadcasts all the matches live,not just semi or finals?

[Krisna]

Indosiar will just broadcast the finals, according to the newspapers...

[nugroho]

wakkaka... i've never heard that taufik could play good MD in world standart. but will be something interesting though ;)

[badMania]

Chen Hong of Suryanaga lost 18-21, 15-21 to Kendrick Lee.
The biggest UPSET so far in this tournament!
Sony Dwi Kuncoro of Suryanaga was in a battle to the death match against Ronald Susilo of Jaya Raya, eventually winning 15-21, 22-20, 21-14... :p
Hendra Setiawan-Markis Kido vs. Alvent-Trikus 21-10, 15-21, 21-17
Candra Wijaya-Joko Riadi vs. Rony A.-Vicki I. 21-10, 21-8
Ng Wei defeated Taufik Akbar
So this is the surprise of the day... Jaya Raya defeating Suryanaga 3-2.

Jaya Raya leads the league now with 4 wins and no losses... :cool:

Indeed...just read the news on Kompas and it was a very surprising result :cool:
This could yet be the Finals.....and SNGG must implement a right strategy to correct things. The 3 Singles MUST WIN.

[kobe77sg]

wakkaka... i've never heard that taufik could play good MD in world standart. but will be something interesting though ;)

Krisna thanks a lot. your coverage it much much very far better than the official website. I wonder is it so difficult for the webmaster to post the result in the official website.

Better to closed the website

[kobe77sg]

Nice Pic Flandy/taufik

[Krisna]

Cool picture! Taufik looks worried there... Perhaps also tired since he played singles and doubles two days in a row! Today SGS plays against Ratih Banten. Maybe they will field Flandy-Yoga or something... Otherwise, Taufik won't have any energy to play against Kendrick Lee [Jaya Raya on Wednesday] and Chen Hong [Suryanaga on Thursday]...

Tough schedule...

[kobe77sg]

I think for match against Ratih Banten, they should rest Taufik. And give chance to other player

[Krisna]

wakkaka... i've never heard that taufik could play good MD in world standart. but will be something interesting though ;)

Yes, very interesting... :)

Taufik-Flandy was good enough to beat M. Rijal-Lingga Lie, who are good XD players in the National Team. ;) Rijal went to the Swiss Super Series XD finals a few months ago... world-class enough. Lingga have won 2 Satellite tournaments in Asia... respectable doubles player.

Yeah, I still think Taufik-Flandy won't have a chance against KKK-TBH and Cai-Fu types...

Oh, when playing MD, Taufik did many trick shots. Behind the back, between the legs shots... because he knows Flandy can cover for him. :D So even though they might not win, the fans are happy... :D

[fabcargo]

Suryanaga is leading 4-0 against Mutiara Bandung.

[Krisna]

fabcargo, any news on SGS Elektrik?!? Is Taufik playing singles and doubles again today? Or is he even playing?

[fabcargo]

fabcargo, any news on SGS Elektrik?!? Is Taufik playing singles and doubles again today? Or is he even playing?

yes he played and SGS won the overall match. but i dont hv the details. i will be there again on friday, maybe we can meet up. i will be with SNGG officials and i have no hair :(

[Krisna]

SGS will have a hard time going to the semis. Unless Suryanaga purposely loose 0-5 in the very last day when they play against SGS. I doubt Suryanaga want to do that. Asking Chen Hong to loose purposely to Taufik is just wrong. Ha ha ha...

Demi meraih kemenangan maksimal, SGS memasang pemain andalannya yang bintang Indonesia, Taufik Hidayat bermain rangkap di tunggal dan ganda putra.JAKARTA (Suara Karya): SGS Elektrik Bandung benar-benar serius menghadapi klub Musica Champion Kudus. Demi meraih kemenangan maksimal, SGS memasang pemain andalannya yang bintang Indonesia, Taufik Hidayat bermain rangkap di tunggal dan ganda putra.

Strategi tersebut ternyata tidak sia-sia. Buktinya SGS mampu memetik kemenangan telak 4-1 atas Musica dalam pertandingan hari keempat Djarum Superliga Badminton di GOR Sumantri Brojonegoro, Jakarta, kemarin. Taufik diturunkan di ganda berpasangan dengan Flandy Limpele. Biasanya Flandy berpasangan dengan Hendra.

Taufik menjawab kepercayaan klubnya dengan menyumbang angka di dua nomor yang dilakoninya. Turun sebagai pemain tunggal pertama, juara olimpiade itu berhasil mengalahkan Lee Tsuen G, 21-14, 21-16 untuk memberikan angka pertama buat SGS.

Kemenangan Taufik diikuti pemain tunggal kedua asal Malaysia Roslin H yang tanpa kesulitan menumbangkan D Hayom R dua set langsung 21-9, 22-20.

Musica Champion mendapat secercah harapan ketika tunggal ketiga mereka Hu Yun menaklukan Haryawan 21-16, 14-21, 21-13 untuk memperkecil kedudukan menjadi 2-1.

Pada pertandingan ganda SGS berhasil mencuri poin untuk menambah keunggulan mereka menjadi 3-1 setelah pasangan pertama Hendra AG/ Anggun N mengalahkan Ade Lukas/ Hadi, 13-21, 18-21, 20-22.

Pasangan Flandy Limpele/ Taufik Hidayat menjadi penutup kemenangan SGS, setelah mengalahkan Lingga/M Rizal. Pada game pertama pasangan yang baru dibentuk ini terlihat kurang kompak sehingga baru bisa menang lewat beberapa kali deuce. Bahkan di game kedua mereka takluk. Namun akhirnya di game terakhir menang untuk menuntaskan kemenangan 27-25, 17-21, 21-17.

''Biasa bermaian di tunggal sekarang pihak klub meminta saya bermain di bagian ganda sehingga saya agak canggung dan tidak kompak dengan pasangan saya,'' tutur Taufik, usai pertandingan, Senin (25/6).

Taufik yang tidak mau bermain di ganda pada turnamen internasional menyatakan, lawan berat SGS pada turnamen ini diperkirakan datang dari Suryanaga Gudang Garam Surabaya. ''Namun kami sudah mempersiapkan strategi untuk menghadapi mereka,'' ujar Taufik

Kesuksesan tim putra SGS Elektrik Bandung ternyata tidak diikuti oleh tim putrinya. Mereka harus mengakui keunggulan Jaya Raya Jakarta. Diperkuat tiga pemain pelatnas cipayung, Pia Zebadiah, Fransisca R, Greysia Polii, Jaya Raya dengan mudah menggulung SGS 5-0.

Sementara itu Ratih banten juga mengalami nasib yang hampir sama dengan SGS, Ratih Banten pada bagian putra tidak berdaya ketika menghadapi Tangkas Jakarta, dan harus menyerah 1-4 dari klub asal Ibukota. Sementara di bagian putri Ratih Banten berhasil menang tipis 3-2 dari Bina Bangsa Jakarta, kemenangan ini sekaligus menjadi penyemangat setelah kemarin dikalahkan SGS Elektrik Bandung 1-4.

''Saya sering kangen dengan masakan Padang. Di Indonesia adalah kesempatan saya makan sepuasnya, karena sulit dicari di sana (Singapura, Red),'' tuturnya.

Meski berselera mancanegara untuk urusan makanan, tapi Kendrick ''berselera'' lokal untuk urusan wanita. Dia tetap memilih wanita Singapura sebagai calon pendamping hidupnya, meski banyak mengenal wanita cantik di luar negeri. Wanita yang dipilih Kendrick adalah Rina Teng, atlet boling nasional Singapura.

Lantas, kapan menikah? Pemain berusia 22 tahun itu memilih untuk membujang lebih dulu demi karir bulutangkisnya. ''Saya ingin fokus bermain bulutangkis dulu. Sekolah formal saja sudah tidak saya jalani, sebab hanya bulutangkis dan bulutangkis yang saya pilih,'' tandasnya. (vem/indopos.co.id)ura, Red),'' tuturnya.

Kendrick Lee Bisa Jadi Ancaman
Oleh adminSelasa, 26-Juni-2007, 15:41:1663 klikhttp://www.bulutangkis.com/images/friend.gif (http://www.bulutangkis.com/friend.php?op=FriendSend&artid=2339)http://www.bulutangkis.com/images/print.gif (http://www.bulutangkis.com/mod.php?mod=publisher&op=printarticle&artid=2339)[JAKARTA] - Ganteng, atletis, ramah, itulah kata-kata untuk mengambarkan sepintas sosok Kendrick Lee. Mungkin orang awam dan banyak pecinta bulu tangkis di Tanah Air masih merasa asing dengan nama tersebut.[JAKARTA] - Ganteng, atletis, ramah, itulah kata-kata untuk mengambarkan sepintas sosok Kendrick Lee. Mungkin orang awam dan banyak pecinta bulu tangkis di Tanah Air masih merasa asing dengan nama tersebut. Kendrick merupakan pebulutangkis Singapura yang saat ini memperkuat klub Jaya Raya Jakarta pada Djarum Superliga Badminton 2007. Namanya mungkin kalah populer dibanding rekannya Ronald Susilo, pebulutangkis Indonesia yang kini memilih hijrah ke Singapura.

Tapi dalam urusan menggebuk kok, Kendrick tak kalah jagonya dengan Ronald Susilo maupun pebulutangkis berkelas dunia lainnya. Itu dibuktikan Kendrick saat menumbangkan salah satu raksasa bulutangkis dunia Chen Hong asal Tiongkok yang memperkuat klub Surya Naga Surabaya dalam pertandingan yang digelar di GOR Sumantri Brodjonegoro Kuningan, Senin (25/6) malam.

Nama besar Chen yang kini menempati peringkat tiga dunia tak sedikitpun mengentarkan hatinya. Sebaliknya dia bisa tampil lepas dengan penampilan yang lugas. Menghadapi Chen yang dikenal sebagai pebulutangkis berkemampuan komplit serta bermental baja, Kendrick tampil tenang. Smes keras dan setiap gocekan dari Chen bisa diladeninya. Sampai pada akhirnya Chen frustasi dan banyak membuat kesalahan sendiri. Kendrick menang 21-18, 21-15.

Kepada SP, dia mengatakan, sangat senang dengan kemenangannya tersebut. Ternyata kemenanganya atas Chen bukan untuk pertama kalinya. Dia pernah mengalahkannya di Taiwan Terbuka tahun lalu.''Saya khusus datang ke sini untuk lebih banyak bertanding melawan pebulutangkis handal dunia,'' ujar Kendrick yang mengaku kini berperingkat 14 IBF.

Wow, that's one looonngg article... basically, the articles said:
1st article
Kendrick Lee is quite fluent in speaking Indonesian [Bahasa Indonesia] because he often practice with Ronald Susilo. He also likes Padang [West Sumatran] food and it is easier to eat it here in Indonesia. It is a big opportunity for him to eat as much as he can. Also, he is dating Rita Teng, a Singaporean national bowler. And he is not thinking about getting married anytime soon because he wants to concentrate in badminton. School time is over for him, now it is badminton time.

2nd article
Kendrick Lee can be a threat. He defeated Chen Hong who is famous for mental stregth and skill. Kendrick was not intimidated by the World Number 3. He could subdue Chen's hard smashes etc. In the end, Chen got frustrated and made mistakes himself. "I am here to have more playing experience against the top players in the world." Kendrick honestly said...

After the games today, Tuesday June 22nd, 2007 ...the league standing looks like:

Today in the battle of the pure 100% Indonesian and pure 100% own-club-players Tie between Jaya Raya Jakarta vs. Djarum Kudus

INA #1 WS Maria Kristin defeated INA #2 WS Firdasari in rubber sets :cool:
INA #3 WS Pia Zebadiah defeated INA #5 WS Maria Elfira in rubber sets :cool:
INA #6 WS Fransisca Ratnasari defeated INA #16 Febby Angguni in straight sets... :D Note: I heard INA #7 WS Rosaria Pungkasari is rested by Djarum today, because she needs to re-energize... Otherwise, it could have been even tighter... :p

Shendy Puspa-Meliana Jauhari defeated Nadya-Nitya in straight sets.
Gresya Polii-Endang defeated Yulianti-Rintan in rubber sets.
So Jaya Raya [barely] defeated Djarum 3-2. Great Tie! We probably will see this Tie again in the semifinals.... ;)

Here are the Top 10 WS accoding to the latest PBSI publication:
1. Maria Kristin [Djarum]

Bulutangkis Superliga


Jaya Raya Favorit di Peringkat Teratas


http://www.suarapembaruan.com/News/2007/06/27/Olahraga/27ligabu.gif
Tunggal putra tim Tangkas Jakarta, Simon Santoso, mengembalikan bola ke lapangan lawannya, Andre K Tedjono (Djarum Kudus), pada Djarum Superliga Badminton 2007 Indonesia di Gelanggang Olahraga Sumantri Brojonegoro, Kuningan, Jakarta, Selasa (26/6). Simon mengalahkan Andre 21-10, 16-21, 21-14. SP/YC Kurniantoro
[JAKARTA] Tim Jaya Raya Jakarta putra memastikan satu tempat di semifinal Djarum Superliga Badminton 2007 setelah memenangi lima dari tujuh pertandingan. Pada babak penyisihan yang digelar di GOR Sumantri Brodjonegoro Jakarta, Selasa, Jaya Raya memenangi pertandingan melawan Musica Champion Kudus 4-1. Jaya Raya tinggal menyisakan dua partai lagi, dan mereka berpeluang menutup pertandingan penyisihan dengan menduduki peringkat teratas.
Pemain asal Singapura, Kendrick Lee kembali menyumbang angka pertama bagi Jaya Raya dengan menumbangkan pemain Malaysia, Lee Tsuen Seng 21-19, 21-17. Meski pertandingan antarkedua pemain asing yang dikontrak kedua klub itu berlangsung ketat di awal pertandingan, di pertengahan Kendrik mampu mengungguli Lee dan berhasil memenangi pertandingan.
Ganda putra nomor satu Pelatnas Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan yang bermain pada partai kedua memperbesar keunggulan Jaya Raya dengan menumbangkan pasangan Titon Gustaman/Lingga Lie 21-12, 21-16. Ronald Susilo, pemain Singapura asal Indonesia, membuat klub tersebut unggul 3-0 dan dipastikan menang atas Musica Champion setelah menang atas D Hayom Rumbaka 21-14, 21-13.
Taufik Akbar Hidayat harus mengakui keunggulan pemain Musica Hu Yun melalui pertarungan tiga set, 14-21, 21-19, 9-21. Pasangan Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi menjadikan Jaya Raya unggul 4-1 setelah menundukkan Haryanto Arbi/ Liong Tiong Ping 21-11, 21-10. "Kita sudah pasti menang dari Musica dan lolos ke semifinal. Bahkan sangat berpeluang lolos sebagai peringkat teratas," ujar manajer tim Jaya Raya, Sigit Pamungkas. Ia mengatakan, kemungkinan untuk memenangi dua pertandingan terakhir melawan SGS Elektrik dan Djarum Kudus masih terbuka. "SGS punya Taufik Hidayat yang di atas kertas sulit ditaklukkan, dan tunggal ketiga kami Taufik Akbar juga berat menghadapi pemain SGS Haryawan," kata Sigit yang khawatir jika SGS berhasil mencuri dua angka dari pemain tunggalnya.

Rian said Djarum won 5-0 today.

[Krisna]

Djarum against Jaya Raya tomorrow, June 28, who Djarum will field?

Their likely opponents are:
1st doubles: Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan
2nd doubles: Candra Wijaya-Joko Riadi

I think:
1st doubles: Sigit-Fran
2nd doubles: Luluk-Rian
Don't ask me why... just my gut feeling...

[Krisna]

Today, June 27, the results are:
Women
Suryanaga-Bina Bangsa 4-1
Jaya Raya-Ratih Banten 5-0
Djarum-Mutiara 4-1
Tangkas-SGS 5-0

Men
Tangkas-Mutiara 5-0; Marleve Mainaky played! :eek: ...and won!
Djarum-Ratih 5-0
Suryanaga-Musica 5-0
Jaya Raya-SGS 4-1

Taufik Hidayat of SGS needed 3 games to defeat Kendrick Lee 14-21, 21-12, 21-15... :cool: Cool performance by Kendrick...
Ronald Susilo then defeated Roslin Hasim 16-21, 21-16, 21-10 :cool:
Candra Wijaya-Joko Riadi defeated Flandy Limpele-Hendra AG 21-18, 21-16...

6. Musica 2-4, 10-20, -19
7. Ratih 0-6, 4-26, -42
8. Mutiara 0-6, 1-29, -46

*In the Indonesian Superliga, in case 2 teams who have played each other have the same Ties W-L results, the head-to-head results between them outrank the Matches W-L results. In case 3 teams have identical Ties W-L results, then Matches W-L will determine the ranking order... ;)

*Thus, since in the Women division Djarum have defeated Suryanaga, Djarum outrank Suryanaga. While in the Men's division, Tangkas have defeated Djarum, thus Tangkas outrank Djarum.

[badMania]

Today will pit Suryanaga against SGS in the men's. Chen Hong vs Taufik...a mouth watering tie....If SGS loses today, they will kiss their semi-final hope good bye. Djarum vs Jaya Raya is also a potential thriller (esp in the doubles).

I will prefer
MS1: Andre Kurniawan Tedjono vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui -- Loh will be pleased of Kendrick's performance so far as Jaya Raya's first MS. If he wins, there is only a slim chance that Djarum can win the tie.

MD1: Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan -- two young pairs sparring against each other

MD2: Sigit Budiarto/Fran Kurniawan vs Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi -- oldie-newbie combo for both clubs...should be entertaining....

;):D;) Taufik won!

Andre did play Kendrick Lee! Andre won in a tightly contested game:
21-17, 21-18! :)

Sigit did meet Candra, but with Hendra Setiawan, not Joko Riyadi. Jaya Raya just wanted to spoil your prediction... :p The Sigit vs. Candra game was very entertaining...

Rian Sukmawan [current world #10] and Sigit Budiarto [former world #1]. A potent combo?!?



They'd both love that combo!

I think best combination of Djarum pair is Sigit/Luluk. First title of Luluk in International tournament when he paired with Sigit.

If Djarum want to get 1 point from MD, they should play Sigit/Luluk as 2nd double (they have to choose Fran/Rian as 1st Double, Rian has higher rank than Luluk and Sigit and Fran are same).

[Krisna]

Logical. Or... a better alternative than Fran-Rian as 1st doubles is Yoke-Rian... They are the new Djarum pair who will debut in the Thailand Open next week...

yes, it's better choice (I thaught that Yoke has lower rank than Sigit, just check it that Yoga-Yoke is higher than Sigit/Fran)
I don't know how count the new pair ranking in Superliga, based on BWF Ranking or not.

Jaya Raya d Djarum 3-2

Djarum lead 2-0
Adrianti Firdasari lost to Maria Kristin 6-21 7-11 ret.
Firda didn't look well when came on court, looked on her face expression and lost easily to Maria Kristin
Pia Zebadiah lost to Maria Elfira 8-21 15-21 (I think Pia should be focus on Double only, weak smash and no weapon as single player)

Greysia Polii/Rani Mundiatsi d Meliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa 18-21, 21-18,21-14
Djarum almost swept the match by 3-0. Greysia's experience factor made te winning to Jaya Raya. Rani had trouble with weak return so the match was dominated by Djarum's power in early 1st set and 2nd set.

Fransiska Ratnasari d Rosaria Pungkasari 21-13, 21-10
Rosaria didn't look well, she didn't play for some previous matches and replaced by Febby Angguni. Wrong decision by Djarum "give" Maria Febe to Suryanaga while Rosaria & Sylvinna injury.

Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Khrisina d Yulianti/Rintan Aprilia 21-17 21-14
Rintan played badly in this match. Actually Yulianti played well but not ideal younger player as pair leader. Pia/Nitya played well, I said they played better than Greysia/Rani. They keep in aggressive play and forced the opponent made some error.

Thanks for the results, Sandy.

Yes, if Djarum had Maria Febe with them, then the results would have been different...:p I saw Febe destroyed Fransiska [Nana] in the Indonesian Open with a straight set... Nana could not play Febe well...

Well, from what I heard, Djarum's intention was to get Febe a lot of match exposure. They got that. What was uncalculated was the Rosaria and Sylvinna injury... :p

[Krisna]

Wang Chen defeated Petya 21-18, 21-12...

[Krisna]

It is 2am right now. I just came back from X2, one of Jakarta's top dance-hangout-place. Met Taufik, Hendra AG, Lee Tsuen Seng, Haryawan, Haryanto Arbi etc. Basically almost all the SGS and the Musica Champion team. No Flandy, no Lingga, no Rijal...

Taufik is a strong drinker! I am quite sure if both Lin Dan and Taufik consume 10 hard-liquor shots before their game, then Taufik will destroy Lin. Ha ha ha...

When I left at 1:30am, everybody still behaved... Don't know how they will end up... Ha ha ha...

Firda didn't look well when came on court, looked on her face expression and lost easily to Maria Kristin
Pia Zebadiah lost to Maria Elfira 8-21 15-21 (I think Pia should be focus on Double only, weak smash and no weapon as single player)

Greysia Polii/Rani Mundiatsi d Meliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa 18-21, 21-18,21-14
Djarum almost swept the match by 3-0. Greysia's experience factor made te winning to Jaya Raya. Rani had trouble with weak return so the match was dominated by Djarum's power in early 1st set and 2nd set.

Hmm, bad sign for Jaya Raya... Pia lost to Yip with rubber games, 23-21 ; 15-21 ; 14-21. Yip has produced numerous error of jumping smash in whole match and in other way Pia looked so exhausted because she played singles and doubles yesterday. This match is more2 interesting than previous...

Third match : Jo Novita/Endang Nursugianti (Tangkas) vs Greysia Polii/Rani Mundiasti (Jaya Raya) has started several minutes ago...

Hi CLELY, do you know about third/fourth placing for men between TANGKAS vs DJARUM this morning... how about the detail of score...

Based on suarakarya-online, Men's Team third/fourth position match will be played after Women's Team Final. Don't know if any changes of this schedule.

Back to Women's Team Final, Greysia/Rani has made Jaya Raya chance still alive! They defeated Jo/Endang, 20-22 ; 21-6 ; 21-10. Now, fourth match between Fransiska Ratnasari (Jaya Raya) against Yuan Kartika (Tangkas).

[CLELY]

Same score, 2 - 2 for Jaya Raya and Tangkas after Fransiska win over Yuan, 21-13 ; 21-18. The last match as decider, obviously Tangkas will win the President Cup for Women's Team, no hope for Jaya Raya. Lilyana/Vita vs Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda, what a different class...

[Krisna]

Tangkas won! 3-2
Closely contested tie...

[Krisna]

Simon won 1st set over Andre 21-16... in the 3rd-4th place tie between Tangkas vs. Djarum...

Yes, the organizers decided to have the 3rd-4th place match after the Women's finals, not at 9am like the original schedule. Because the players are tired after last night's semis...

[blackrose]

Krisna... closely contested tie for who? You mean women's team final or men's team 3rd placing?

[blackrose]

SEPERTI ramalan pelbagai pihak, pasukan Tangkas Jakarta muncul juara acara berpasukan wanita Superliga Badminton Indonesia Djarum 2007 selepas mencapai kemenangan tipis ke atas Jaya Raya Jakarta 3-2 pada perlawanan akhir yang berlangsung di Britama Arena Sport Mall, Kelapa Gading Jakarta sebentar tadi.

Gandingan Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir menjadi wira kemenangan pasukan tersebut dengan menundukkan pasangan Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda 21-13, 21-17 pada perlawanan penentuan setelah kedua-dua pasukan terikat 2-2 yang disaksikan hanya kurang 500 orang berbanding kapisiti tempat duduk berjumlah 4,000.

Dengan kejayaan itu, pasukan Tangkas yang diketuai pemain import dari Hong Kong, Wang Chen berhak menerima hadiah wang tunai Rp200 juta manakala Rp100 juta dibolot oleh Jaya Raya Jakarta.

Terdahulu dari itu, mata pertama Tangkas berjaya diraih menerusi Wang Chen yang turun sebagai perseorangan pertama dengan membenam cabaran Firdasari dalam pertarungan cukup sengit 21-19, 22-20.

Kemenangan itu nyata memberi semangat berkobar-kobar buat Yip Pui Yin yang diletakkan sebagai perseorangan kedua apabila mematikan langkah Pia Zebadiah dari Jaya Raya Jakarta biarpun berlanjutan ke set penentuan. Pui Yin menang 21-23, 21-15, 21-14.

Setelah mendahului kedudukan 2-0, dua wakil Tangkas seterusnya gagal meneruskan dominasi rentak cemerlang apabila lawan berjaya menidak setiap langkah hingga membolehkan kedua-dua pasukan terikat 2-2.

Berkat pengalaman luas di arena antarabangsa, gandingan Vita/Lilyana akhirnya memecah kebuntuan Tangkas pada perlawanan penentuan dengan menundukan pasangan Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda.

PERSEORANGAN JULANG NAMA SURYANAGA GUDANG GARAM

AKSI cemerlang yang dipamerkan pemain perseorangan nyata menjadi faktor penentu menjulang nama Suryanaga Gudang Garam Surabaya untuk muncul sebagai juara Divisyen Lelaki Superliga Badminton Indonesia Djarum 2007 selepas mengenepikan cabaran Jaya Raya Jakarta 3-2 pada perlawanan akhir di Britama Arena Sportmall, Kelapa Gading malam tadi.

Paling menyerlah dan mencetuskan kejayaan julung-julung Suryanaga Gudang Garam ini keupayaan pemain perseorangan terutama Ng Wei yang berjaya mengharungi perlawanan penentuan dengan bergaya biarpun tidak diberi ruang luas lawannya, Taufik Akhbar.

Meskipun gambaran awal tidak menyebelahinya apabila tewas pada set pertama 20-22, namun kemantapan mental dan menukar strategi yang diberi jurulatih akhirnya telah memberi sinar kejayaan dua set seterusnya dengan kemenangan 21-19, 21-19.

Selain Ng Wei, mata Suryanaga Gudang Garam berjaya dihasikan menerusi sentuhan pemain nombor dua dunia, Chen Hong dan jaguh tuan rumah, Sony Dwi Kuncoro. Manakala kedua-dua bergu Suryanaga Gudang Garam yang diharap mampu memberi tentangan sengit nyata bukan lawan sebenar bergu Jaya Raya Jakarta yang dilihat lebih mantap.

Dalam pada itu, skuad bimbingan Christian Hadinata, Djarum Kudus nyata mampu berpuas hati mengisi tempat ketiga divisyen superliga wanita apabila membenam keegoaan barisan Suryanaga Gudang Garam Surabaya 3-1.

Kemenangan yang dicapai Petya Nedeltcheva pada perlawanan pertama ke atas Maria Kristin nyata tidak menghalang azam Djarum Kudus untuk mencatatkan kemenangan berturut-turut dalam tiga perlawanan berikutnya.

After his match, I asked chen hong what happened in the 1st set. He said he was not warmed up until 2nd set. He also said he purposely made the game interesting by playing tight points. While he was doing that the whole team almost had hear attacks!!!! :):):)

But he did not mean to take credit from Kendrick. He agreed that Kendrick had improved. Kendrick improved due to Asep and Jeffer as his coaches. Jeffer was on SNGG team on that day. He also said that Kendrick had the discipline and mental toughness to take it to the next level.

[CLELY]

Hmm, double lost for Jaya Raya! Actually, Taufiq Akbar could win the deciding match against Ng Wei which spent more than 1 hour. What a pity, Taufiq has made many unforced-errors in critical points especially at 2nd set. Don't look any level difference between both of them despite Ng's WR now is 23 meanwhile Taufiq is just 206.

[badminto_expert]

Kendrick improved due to Asep and Jeffer as his coaches. It is impossible.

Now, Chen Hong not fully training under China national Team, So Chen Hong performance was drop.

JAKARTA - Chinese shuttler Chen Hong has played for the Surya Naga badminton club and helped the Indonesian club win the Super League badminton championships here over the weekend.

Surabaya-based Surya Naga beat Jaya Raya of Jakarta 3-2 in the men's team dramatic final.

Chen opened the scoring for Surya Naga by beating Kendrick Lee of Singapore 15-21, 21-18, 21-14.

Jaya Raya's Chandra Wijaya and Markis Kido levelled the tie 1-1 by beating compatriots Alvent Yulianto and veteran Tri Kusharjanto 21-14, 21-19.

Surya Naga retook the lead with Sony Dwi Kuncoro beating Ronald Susilo of Singapore 21-11, 13-21, 21-16. Jaya Raya again won the double match by Hendra Setiawan and Joko Riyadi to make the third men's singe match a decider.

Hong Kong shuttler Ng Wei finally ensured the trophy for Surya Naga, owned by the country's largets tobacco company Gudang Garam, with a rubber win of 20-22, 21-19, 21-19 over Taufik Hidayat Akbar.

"I had to win this match because Surya Naga is much stronger in the singles. I feel pleased that I could finally win the title for my team," Ng was quoted Mondya by English daily The Jakarta Post as saying.

The defeat was a double blow to top team Jaya Raya, which on Saturday also lost in women's team final to Jakarta rival Tangkas.

Hi! Do you have pics for this finals event?

Wanted: Big hitters for Indonesian badminton

Sports News - Tuesday, July 03, 2007

A vocal crowd of Indonesian supporters were cheering for foreign shuttlers in the Indonesia Super League badminton championships contested in Jakarta on the weekend.

The competition, held for the first time this year, allows local clubs to enlist in the services of foreign players. While this prevents local emerging talent from competing, the crowd was kept well entertained.

Jakarta-based Tangkas dashed the hopes of city rivals Jaya Raya in the event, winning the women's team final 3-2 thanks to the efforts of Hong Kong's Wang Chen and Yip Yui Yin.

Surabaya-based Surya Naga spoiled Jaya Raya's hopes of clinching the men's team crown after defeating the club 3-2 with the help of world No. 2 Chen Hong of China, Ng Wei of Hong Kong and Singapore's Ronald Susilo.

The decision of league organizers to allow clubs to hire foreign players was an effective move, but only in terms of attracting spectators.

Development-wise, shuttlers being groomed at the national training camp in Cipayung, East Jakarta, have been demonstrating a lack of achievement on the international stage lately.

A women's mixed doubles crown won by Flandy Limpele and Vita Marissa two months ago in Singapore is the only Super League title Indonesia has been able to collect so far this year.

Indonesia's big names, including men's singles star Taufik Hidayat, mixed doubles pair Nova Widianto and Lilyana Natsir and men's doubles team Luluk Hadiyanto and Alvent Yulianto have all failed to secure medals in Super League competitions.

Taufik, who won a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics, lost his world championship crown last year. The only major event he has won this year was the Asian Badminton Championships.

Taufik's decline has not been backed up by the country's up-and-coming players, who are yet to display consistency in international competitions.

The current situation should be viewed as an early warning sign by the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI). The association urgently needs to evaluate its entire training system, from the recruitment stage to training methods being used, in order to establish what has gone wrong.

It is also time for the PBSI to focus on the development of young players so as they can win against world-class shuttlers in international events.

Indonesia urgently needs to promote the development of talented and consistent local players to maintain its long tradition as being one of the world's badminton powerhouses.

National shuttlers face a busy schedule ahead, culminating in the World Championships to be held on Aug. 13-19 in Kuala Lumpur. Before that, they will compete in the Thailand Grand Prix, Philippines Grand Prix and China Masters.

Failing to take home a title from last year's World Championships in Madrid, PBSI can only hope Taufik is up to the task this year, or perhaps even Candra Wijaya, who will partner Tony Gunawan of the United States in the event.

Transforming existing players into champions is an enormous but urgent task for PBSI. Otherwise, we will have to prepare ourselves for a new era of badminton in Indonesia in which few titles will be won.

This is very true and we share the same predicament in the Philippines although in Indonesia, it seems that there is still more government support to the sport unlike in our country where the national (badminton) team needs to
solicit private sponsors for their personal training. :mad:

Parts of this article are wrong. Alvent won the gold with his Suryanaga team. While Natsir won the gold with Tangkas. :mad:

You're right, fabcargo. ;) The article didn't get the facts straight for Lili Natsir and Alvent.

Taufik was enjoying himself... :D

I am sure Chen Hong was too... ;)

True story: Taufik offered Chen Hong a wager of $1000 for the winner of the doubles match. Chen Hong said no... :p

Chen was smart. In the end, Taufik won the doubles match in rubber sets. Chen would have lost $1000... :p

Looks like the Indo League turns out to be a good success. And I like to see how players from different countries are all mixed and play.

Now I only wish they could get LD and TH to pair up for doubles next year.
