Draws are out.... http://www.internationalbadminton.org/draws.asp
check it here to see details.. LMAO... Aaah, Chen Jin vs Taufik in the first round, and another seeded player there is Chen Yu who meets Sony D Kuncoro in the first round too.. Bad draws.. :crying: :crying:
Other factors also bad draws.. But, hope it'll be a fun tournament... :D :D

interesting draw again for MS:

TH to meet CJ in the first round, that should be a cracker, TH to win with home ground advantage. he really needs to get his ranking up so he doesn't meet the seeds so early in the competition.

looks like LCW is looking at another QF exit unless he can get past LD, which is unlikely. Simon may provide his with quite a challenge in R2 as well, that will not be an easy match with Simon's current form.

Sony vs CY in the first round should prove to be an interesting one, looks like the tickets for this round will be well worth the money!

LOL... Yeaap.. Simon would be recovered by then, even he aimed to still join the Aviva S'pore Open... so, I think it won't be a one-sided game as he'd be training very hard.. :D

MD draw looks far less exciting, the only match worth watching really in R1 is between Paaske/Rasmussen vs Clark/Blair and TBS/OSH vs TG/CW.

looks like JJS is partnering LJJ again, hmmmm, what's going on with LYD??

LOL... Yeaap.. Simon would be recovered by then, even he aimed to still join the Aviva S'pore Open... so, I think it won't be a one-sided game as he'd be training very hard.. :D

should be a good match, i'll be following it closely ... :cool:

Fate really like to make joke on peoples...LCW maybe will meet hafiz again if he can past through Simon Santosa and he will also meet LD in the last eight.MD is very competitive,for me,all pairs have equal chances.

LCW maybe will meet hafiz again if he can past through Simon Sentosa and he will also meet LD in the last eight.

:eek: Its Santoso,Jessica.. LMAO.. :D :D :D Simon Sentosa sounds like S'pore's Sentosa... Hahahahahaha.. Ko Sori2 will cry if he hears that... :cool: :D

WMC is also unlucky...She will be meeting the top seed XXF in the opening round.

:eek: Its Santoso,Jessica.. LMAO.. :D :D :D Simon Sentosa sounds like S'pore's Sentosa... Hahahahahaha.. Ko Sori2 will cry if he hears that... :cool: :DOpps...Sorry..typing error..:) Thanks for reminding me..:p

LOL.. No prob.. Mwahahahahhahah.. It's so cute though... LMAO.. I think me and Yan2 would even tease him more.. Hahahahhahaha... :D

Whoa, looks like the 2nd day of Indo SS will be on my must-see list... hahaha... Bad draws, nice to watch... Interesting matches everyday... So lucky...

WMC is certainly unlucky to meet the top seed in the first round, that's what happens when your world ranking slips below the top 8 and you're unseeded.

Lu Lan and Jiang Yanjiao look set to meet each other again, though this time in the QF.

really hard to see anything but a ZN vs XXF final again here ...

oh,my god!!!!!
CJ VS TH!!!!
bad draw ,
1/4 final : maybe LD vs LEE CW

Many top seeds are facing each other in the early rounds... sounds fun.

Hey we shall just post a comment to his FS. Ko Sori2, someone makes fun of your name by calling you Simon Sentosa. Big possibility he will cry a river though :crying:

Oh yeah, thanks Chris for posting the draws.

Chen Jin to beat Taufik Hidayat!!! :D :D :D I'm optimistic :p

very unlikely ... ahahaha ... especially in indonesia. but, you can always keep your fingers crossed.

very unlikely doesn't mean impossible right? *pray* for chen jin..

anyway, the MD draw looks interesting

yeah, anything's possible for that boy, he's an amazing talent. but TH's very strong at home.

all the draws so far have been very good, sometimes controversial, but definitely very entertaining. i like the way the super series has turned out.

wah, thx for the upload! chenjin-taufik? no comment haha.. btw, tommy to meet peter grade if he passed the qualification matches? *crossing fingers* it'd be such a good opportunity for the young gun!! vote for frans too lol =) btw edo-bakti (fernando kurniawan) kok ga maen?

This draw is much better than SO but for sure TH will win over Chen Jin muahahahaha.MD looked interesting.Still wonder how MAS MD gonna survive when meet INA in their homeland... Rexy vs INA Fan :D ..who will win.. must be very interesting..:D .

Chen Jin to beat Taufik Hidayat!!! :D :D :D I'm optimistic :p
And being optimistic,TBS/OSH to beat candra/Tony in the 1st round(?????):o :o nah...tough luck for TBS/OSH.

why is KKK/TBH name still in the draw...i thought rexy ban them from playing in indonesia open???

why is KKK/TBH name still in the draw...i thought rexy ban them from playing in indonesia open???

obviously Rexy changed his mind.....:D

i want to see yeoh kay bin vs bao chun lai. i want to see if he has what it takes to beat a top player. he has been very resilient in ABC. if he could beat bao chun lai, then maybe he could be a top player.

On newspaper Rexy said if they do well in SO,they will not played in IO, u can read the article here.;)

LOL....Hafiz vs LCW again?!
:D I love CJ vs TH in the 1st round!

Overall, the drawing of INA SS is unfriendly to INA squad but generally more2 interesting than SIN SS.

After TH met LD at MAS SS last Jan, next scenario TH><CJ showdown will electrify bdm fans at very beginning of this tourney. Unfavorable for both of them, still believe TH will be safe from this round with extra-hard effort.
Head-to-head : TH - CJ (0-1, 22/10/06 QF Round of China Open 2006, rubber games 13-21;21-12;18-21).

Also worst drawing for INA MD, many heavy-weight pairs stay on top-half draw.

I predict: TH over CJ in straight sets! I will be in the stadium in 2 weeks to witness it myself! He he he...

CLELY, didn't Taufik beat Chen Jin at the 2006 Asian Games? Straight sets, I think...:confused: Ok, I am not sure, but I think so... It was during the individual competition, not the team competition... :) If my Asian Games memory is right, then TH-CJ: will be 2-1 in two weeks, he he he...

Man... this is going to be a very interesting first round for MS draw :D:D:D

:) Nop,CJ didn't compete in AG individual competition.
TH won all three straight games against BCL-LCW-LD!:eek:

Do you notice that Wijaya Candra now represent USA instead of Indonesia !

..everything is falling into place for Tony & Candra to go back and defend their title from last yr, esp. looking at their quarter;)...Yes, the MD's upper half is indeed competitive-heavy..:cool:
As for MS, hmm, could this be another rematch between Taufik and ChenHong in the Final??..:p :D ;)

yes, i'm also suprised:confused:..esp. after looking at his profile here:

There will be a re-draw of MS due to error by PBSI...they left out the Phillipinos....hope the INA squad (TH, Sony, SS) get a better draw...

Maybe Indonesia has too many representatives and would like to use all available spots for their main team while USA does not have much representatives aside from Tony Gunawan, Howard Bach, & Bob Malaythong for men's doubles so they can spare a spot for Candra Wijaya.

Side note: What's going on with Halim Heriyanto? Is he just coaching and no longer interested in competing in international scenes for the prize money? With his skills and level of play, he can probably pair up with some ex-pro like Flandy Limpele, Sigit Budiarto, or Eng Hian. Flandy Limpele would be the best as he is currently without a partner for men's doubles.

Aww man... that's too bad, it was looking so interesting too! :D:D:D LOL

lets hope TH doesn't end up drawing LD in the first round :eek::p:D

edit: nvm... it says for qualifying round according to BWF webpage
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/newscontent.asp?pageid={FEE949F5-CFA8-4D7B-AC58-ECB7ADB5DBAF}

so happy to see Tony and Candra hocked up again finally. Their story is so touching that comparable to the "Brokeback Mountain"...

Sinc both of them (Tony and Candra ) represent USA, are they qualify for Olympic 2008 if they collect enough ranking point?? :confused:

I believe there is a mistake in identifying Candra representing US, he is still in Indonesia... only Tony in the US and representing US.

Unfortunately, your memory get wrong about it. CJ only taken part in team-competition when Simon beat him at preliminary-round with straight games (21-14 ; 21-8). So the forthcoming 1st Round Indo SS is the 2nd duel between TH and CJ.

About the re-draw, it will only affected MS (Qualifying Only) and XD (Main and Qualifying draw). I guess, nothing big changes happen with MS main draw.

Ah yes, well... my mistake then. Sorry about the confusion. :D In the Asian Games individual competition, TH beat BCL, LCW, and LD.... not CJ.

Then TH-CJ shall be: 1-1 in two weeks! :p I heard that CJ is still somewhat injured due to a soccer accident or something. So I dare to predict TH will overcome him [this time]... ;) I will watch that match live [to make sure I won't get the history wrong this time]... Go Taufik!

Agreed with Krisna...

I think TH will probably win against CJ in the end, but I hope CJ can pull it to 3 games... who knows, maybe CJ will win lol :p

I'm not particularly a fan boy, cheering for any specific player, but rather I'm cheering to see some really good matches... and with all the draws, set the way they are, I have a feeling we could be in for some rather exciting badminton :D

It makes it more exciting to be cheering for a certain player though. Especially in a tough match :). Makes it very tense!

I predict: TH over CJ in straight sets! I will be in the stadium in 2 weeks to witness it myself! He he he...

I think this time Taufik is going to win it again, whether its straight game or rubber game... CJ may beat him in China Open, but I don't think he will do the same thing in Indonesia... Taufik is sooo loved by the crowd here and he will do anything to win this tournament...

MXD REDRAW
possible 1/8 final:

top half:

Lilyana Natsir/Nova Widianto
vs
Donna Kellogg/Anthony Clark

Saralee/Sudket
vs
Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa or Jae Jin Lee/Hyo Jung Lee

bottom half(all CHINESE pairs are in bottom half!!!!! really bad draw)

Hanbin He/Yang (F) Yu
vs
Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms or Jun Zhang/Tingting Zhao

Bo Zheng/Ling Gao
vs
Zhongbo Xie/Yawen Zhang

quite a bad redraw for the chinese.... but i still think gao ling/zheng bo can still take this one.... ill be rooting for them.... however hard to predict the match between CJ and TH.... i don't know.... i really hope CJ can pull out the win even though TH is in Indo

Hope to c TH in final!!;) ;)

OMG, how could it be all chinese pairs are in the same draw???the draw makers must be drunk when they made it.The previous one is better than it is.the rule about country seperation is really bad

So stupid.. Why the redraw... Grrrrr... And, I' still confused, so Candra Wijaya represents INA or USA.. He should represents INA, while Tony USA.. That'd be greaat... LOL..

.................................................

does it really make a difference since he's no longer in the national team?

It's a Super Series so unless you're in top 8 else there's no escape meeting Chinese player in round one. Mew Choo has improved quite a lot and if there's any chance for her to beat XXF then it will be on round one as players still try to adapt to the gym condition.

WMC vs XXF and Eriko Hirose vs Kaori Mori in ws 1st round..
bad draw for WMC and the japanese..:(

Well, it should make a diff.. Cos Candra's registered as an INA player, and actually they shouldn't represent any country, that was what they agreed on at the first time... But, Tony appeared in INA shirt... Dunno why..

I don't think there is so many mistake, it look to me that from Indonesia open onward, Candra will represent USA....
