It will be an interesting Semi Final, there may be more upsets coming up... Here is what I think (winners in bold)

WS
XIE Xingfang vs XU Huaiwen - XXF is in a very good form
ZHANG Ning vs HIROSE Eriko - ZN will be showing who's the boss
(yes, all chinese WS final)

MS
SUSILO Ronald vs PONSANA Boonsak - the power of local crowd
GADE Peter vs CHEN Yu - Gade is determined to be in final
(meaning no Chinese in MS final)

WD
ZHANG Y.W./WEI Y.L. vs LEE K.W./LEE H.J. - Chinese team is stronger
ZHAO T.T./WEI Y vs GAO L./ZHANG J.W - Gao is injured, I think?
(wow, another all Chinese final?)

MD
WIJAYA C./GUNAWAN T. vs CAI Y./FU H.F - Will be a tough revenge
KIDO M./SETIAWAN H. vs CHOONG T.F./LEE W.W. - will be a toss
(possibly all INA MD final?)

XD
WIDIANTO N./NATSIR L. over LIMPELE F./MARISSA V. - We shall see
XIE Z.B./ZHANG Y.W. over PRAPAKAMOL/THOUNGTHONGKAM - another chinese domination

XD:

Widianto/Natsir vs Limpele/Marissa - Senior pair is more stable
Xie/Zhang vs Prapakamol/Thungthongkam - 50-50

WS:

XX vs Xu Huaiwen - XX wins, but possibly another tough fight
Zhang Ning vs Eriko Hirose - This time no buts, Eriko must really say sayonara

MS:

Gade vs Chen Yu - Gade to win as long as he keeps his cool
Boonsak vs Ronald Susilo - Slight edge to Boonsak, but crowd could help Ronald tip the balance

WD:

Yang/Zhao vs Gao/Zhang - don't know and don't care
Wei/Zhang vs Lee/Lee - of course CHN will win

MD:

Cai/Fu vs Tony/Candra - It's time for revenge
Kido/Setiawan vs Choong/Lee - Veteran MAS pair to take it, possibly in 3 sets

WS
XIE Xingfang vs XU Huaiwen
ZHANG Ning vs HIROSE Eriko-I bet this will be another All-England style battle

MS
SUSILO Ronald vs PONSANA Boonsak - the power of local crowd
GADE Peter vs CHEN Yu-Gade may not like how Asian's dominate badminton, but Chen Yu seems to be getting better with every tournament he plays...

WD
ZHANG Y.W./WEI Y.L. vs LEE K.W./LEE H.J. - Chinese team is stronger
ZHAO T.T./WEI Yvs GAO L./ZHANG J.W-50/50 imo but I think Gao/Zhang will take it because 2 uber experienced players are better than 1.

MD
WIJAYA C./GUNAWAN T.vs CAI Y./FU H.F-Hopefully their consistent wins against them will remain consistent today. Should be an awesome match though
KIDO M./SETIAWAN H. vs CHOONG T.F./LEE W.W.

XD
WIDIANTO N./NATSIR L. vs LIMPELE F./MARISSA V. - We shall see
XIE Z.B./ZHANG Y.W. vs PRAPAKAMOL/THOUNGTHONGKAM - The last time I saw these two pairs meet, the Thai's got killed.

...there will be less M'sian supporters joining the forum tonight..Well, they could show up for LWW&CTF's match, but if they lose, then most likely we'll be seeing much less M'sian fans for the Finals...So, prove me wrong guys..:p ;)

Anyways, back to the upcoming matchups, with all the upsets and surprises so far in this tourney, i wouldn't be suprised to see a couple more upsets, just to continue the trend...Hopefully i'm wrong and all the favorites advance to the Finals though..:p ;)

I hope Eriko wins, just to silence all the critics LOL, and that Boonsak makes it into the final.

XD the Thai's appeared very confident in their match, I hope they beat their opponents to meet up with #1 seeds. (yes one can only hope...)
I'm actually hoping the underdogs put up one heck of a fight against the higher ranked players, and give us some exciting badminton ;)

It will be an interesting Semi Final, there may be more upsets coming up... Here is what I think (winners in bold)

WS
XIE Xingfang vs XU Huaiwen - XXF is in a very good form
ZHANG Ning vs HIROSE Eriko - ZN will be showing who's the boss
(yes, all chinese WS final)

MS
SUSILO Ronald vs PONSANA Boonsak - the power of local crowd
GADE Peter vs CHEN Yu - Gade is determined to be in final

WD
ZHANG Y.W./WEI Y.L. vs LEE K.W./LEE H.J. - Chinese team is stronger
ZHAO T.T./WEI Y vs GAO L./ZHANG J.W - Gao is injured, I think?
(wow, another all Chinese final?)

MD
WIJAYA C./GUNAWAN T. vs CAI Y./FU H.F - Will be a tough revenge
KIDO M./SETIAWAN H. vs CHOONG T.F./LEE W.W. - will be a toss

WIDIANTO N./NATSIR L. over LIMPELE F./MARISSA V. - We shall see

Ctjcad,
I have got nothing to beat that!:p:p:p BTW, what are those suppose to mean??? (Besides Gade Boleh)

All I've got to say is once again
"Let's GO Gade!!!!!!! Let's GO:D:D:D:D:D!!!!!!!!"

It's sad that fans scream like crazy during a badminton tournament, which in a way does have an impact in the players whom are doing their best focusing in every given moment.:mad:(forget about the talk of mental toughness, that's just pure distraction:rolleyes:) Whereas in a game of tennis, as soon as the player is getting ready to serve, the crowd stays quiet immediately.:cool:

although peter gade is the favourite to win the title, i actually hope for boonsak or ronald to win ahaha
theres nothing like an underdog victory

Dunno why,suddenly i wanna cheer for Boonsak..
Go..Go Boonsak make another upset:D :p ...

court 2 is going to be action packed.

My prediction :
MS Final = Ronald Susilo vs. Peter
MD Final = Tony / Cndra vs. Markis / Hendra
WS Final = Xie X vs. Zhang N
WD Final = Zhang Yawen / Wei Yili vs. Zhao T / Yang Wei.
XD Final = Flandy / Vita vs. Xie / Zhang Y.

XD:

Widianto/Natsir vs Limpele/Marissa - Senior pair is more stable
Xie/Zhang vs Prapakamol/Thungthongkam - 50-50

WS:

XX vs Xu Huaiwen - XX wins, but possibly another tough fight
Zhang Ning vs Eriko Hirose - This time no buts, Eriko must really say sayonara

MS:

Boonsak vs Ronald Susilo - Slight edge to Boonsak, but crowd could help Ronald tip the balance

Wei/Zhang vs Lee/Lee - of course CHN will win

MD:

Cai/Fu vs Tony/Candra - It's time for revenge
Kido/Setiawan vs Choong/Lee - Veteran MAS pair to take it, possibly in 3 sets

peter vs chen yu.. i think is 50-50, because chen yu is quite good in recent tourament..

MD
since KKK/TBH lost in the 1st round, the only hope for m'sia is CTF/LWW, sure i support them, and this is the time for them to prove that they are still strong enough to compete with the youngster.

the other match i choose cai/fu..:p

Well....if Choong/Lee lose today, I think no Malaysians will be logging in tomorrow :D

It is inconceivable ! Chong and Lee are going to give the INA players a hiding they never had ! The old dogs have learned new tricks and ready to show !

Sounds like boyscout song -- jd inget lagu pramuka neh!

MS -- the clash of underdog, Boonsak vs Ronald. Whoever will win, PG has very big chance now to defend his title. The unusual SF -- No TH/LD/CJ/LCW, is it still interesting??Maybe yes, maybe no...

WS & WD -- CHN glorius

MD -- Tony/Candra meet Markis/Hendra tomorrow!

XD -- top-seed against 2nd seed in finale

Xie/Zhang 21-16. woot!

Xie/Zhang 21-16. woot!

Download 沸点网络电视 (Feidian Web TV) and choose CCTV5

http://www.mydown.com/soft/255/255362.html

what's wrong to saralee???didn make a smash at all...even in front of the net ...is she injured??a lot of mistake from her...

wow thanks man now i can see haha

cmon thai force rubber and win

sudket never cease to amaze me. he is awesome to watch....

Sudket is a excellent doubles player. Work really hard for every point! Saralee is too inconsistent in the net.

..using the above link, but can't see where to go, you guys can go here and download the program:
http://www.streamingstar.com/download-p2ptv.htm

Select Feidian, download and install. Once installed select CCTV-5 & you guys should watch it!!:):cool:

sudket never cease to amaze me. he is awesome to watch....

Excellent skills and tactics for this guy. Hope he wont get too tired in the 3rd set though hehe

..at the SIS....try to find Loh, ants and the rest of the BC folks, guys..hehehe:p :D ;):cool:

The score is quite amazing in both courths.

..by ZhangYW, eventhough she failed to return the drop shot..;)

is it just me, but I am getting no sound from TVants and it is only happening on CCTV. :crying:

is it just me, but I am getting no sound from TVants and it is only happening on CCTV. :crying:
...Feidian and run with it-see my post above, #46...Picture quality might not be the best, but the streaming is smooooooooth(at least on my end)..;) :cool:

Flandy / Vita go to Final...
My prediction is right....:)

is Xie injuired? he seems dull.

XD Final = Flandy / Vita vs. Saralee/ Sudket
My prediciton in XD semifinal today is right...:)

woots, i love sudket and saralee!

Thais won! Well deserved!

...watch and hear that supposed "Loud" linejudge that was talked about so much recently...Hope we'll get to see and hear him in one of the upcoming matches on Court 2..hehehe:p :D ;)

Sudket Is The Man! Well Deserved Win !

Saralee played much better at the rubber. More positive.

Congrats to the Thai! they are really fast and deserve to win.

aiyo...such a close game. Sudket definitely picked up his pace a lot in the 2nd and 3rd games. ZYW spent way too much time in the back though hahaha

....Let's GO CANDRAAAA!!!! Let's GO TONYYYY!!!! :p :D :p

yeah, i much prefer the thais attitude on the court ... good show .... now for the main event though!

Sudket & Saleree won !!!!!!!!!!! yeah !!!!!!

Quite refreshing, not Chinese and English pair in the XD final. Should be a good match tomorrow.

Yeah Sudket is very man.
Also Saralee plays well.
Hope that tomorrow she still remain her power like this day.

yeah, i much prefer the thais attitude on the court ... good show .... now for the main event though!

Very positive attidude esp from Sudket, nvr lose confidence while trailing behind and enjoyed the game. Good role model in badminton. While the chinese pair put too much pressure on themselves.

awesome win by Sudket and Saralee. they are definitely the harder working pair in the court today. Superman Sudket is everywhere. Saralee don't seem to be herself today, with very little offensive and more mistake than usual. but what shuttle control she has, she has that ability change a defensive into offensive with the most unpredictable shuttle placement. both ladies played very well and i don't think i have seen the ladies all over the ground so many times in a mixed match before.

what a treat. even Justin got up from his feeding to watch a few rallies...

poor XIE Zhongbo , best Sudket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XIE Zhongbo always Let ZHANG Yawen attack .
why?

...i think we're watching the "Loud" linejudge(he's sitting at back of CY&FHF)...hehe:p :D ;)

what a tough day for me. i had a tough time choosing to support Sudket/Saralee or Xie/Zhang (i chose the Thai in the end) and now i have to choose between CY/FHF and Candra/Tony!!

awesome win by Sudket and Saralee. they are definitely the harder working pair in the court today. Superman Sudket is everywhere. Saralee don't seem to be herself today, with very little offensive and more mistake than usual. but what shuttle control she has, she has that ability change a defensive into offensive with the most unpredictable shuttle placement. both ladies played very well and i don't think i have seen the ladies all over the ground so many times in a mixed match before.

Are you watching the match live, Kwun?

Tony is always so cool!

Yup, i think a few excellent smash returns from Saralee at the 3rd set has change the momentum of the match. That drained the chinese's confidence.

not that anyone cares about WS, but why is Xu HW getting killed so badly? haha

xie xingfang has won her match

awesome defense from cai...

candra with a lead with a 11-8 lead.both pairs pretty even at this point

nice smash by fu 9-11

10-11 now china cathching up

No CHINESSE XD in the final.....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha........:D:):D :D:):):D:D

nice net by candra forcing a half court return by cai.13-10

Come on Candra.............................

what a treat. even Justin got up from his feeding to watch a few rallies...
...and sorry to wake up the baby, kwun..:p ;)

14-13 indon/usa with a slight lead

16-15 now china some good play

what was that about? T/C seems to be disagreeing with the service judge?

18-16 For Ina/usa

19-16 indonesia looking to close out the first set

nice reversal of play by china making the score 17-19

...sending the CHN pair sideways and out of bounds...Very close set-evenly matched..

tONY - CANDRA WON the 1st set....

what a point to finish the set.
how did candra get that smash back when falling??
and what a deceptive drop from tony!

awesome game point by T/C. Candra was on the floor but managed to return a cross court which surprised F/C. Tony went in for a fake drop and finished the first game.

21-18 , 2-2 for Ina-Usa

OMG WALKOVER OCCURRED?? lol
damn i should have came back from playing sooner... missing some good action.

sorry network connection was out for awhile. score now 5-2 indon leading

Waw... 5-2 now for T/C
where is CHINA supporter???

nic seies of drops by cai and fu earning them the point 4-6

great defending by china...but indon still got the point 7-4 now.idon supporters making the most noise now.china supporters very quite here

7-4 for T/C.....COME ON candra....

score is 10-10 now.china with service

11-10 for T/C
I believe T/C will go to final and meet Markis Kido / Hendra Setiawan...
This is the real final.

Cai / Fu take the 2nd set!!23-21..

cai/fu not letting the disputed service disrupt their play.and closing out the 2nd set 23-21.bringing the game into the deciding 3rd set

ah, that's too bad.
is it just me, or do tony and candra seem to fade quite dramatically in the 3rd set these days?

talk about an intense match the first 2 games :D... rubber was a bit of an anti-climax it seems, TG/CW started to run out of gas, and making unforced errors

Chen Yu, & PG up next :D

Any predictions?

Sad for Wijaya/Gunawan :( , but anyway congratulations for the China Pair. They played incredible games. :o

I wish Tony/ Candra will meet Markis/ Hendra in final ....
Hopefully MK/HS will get the title and prove that Ina have better pair than Tony.....

sO SAD......:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:: crying:

T/C looked tired 1/3 into the 3rd game. reaction time and overall definitely slowed down compared to the first two games. unfortunately Fu/Cai don't seem to have slowed down at all with their offense and it was only a matter of time before T/C conceded the match.

ah, that's too bad.

age, probably. trust me, i know exactly how that feels... :( :(

GADE PETER, my greatest IDol is on the court ! ! ! Go PETER ! ! ! I love you ! ! Beat CHEN YU in straight Set, YES ! ! ! :p

PEter n CY are on the court now!!Go Peter!!Hope to c u in final!!

I hope to CAI/FU and Markis/Hendra in the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With TG/CW experiences should never do such thing of the mistakes like today they in 3rd set. Especially they should close the game since second set.

go go kido/setiwan

Hahahaha Cai and Fu showing why they are the worlds best :cool:

Peter Gade start to serve, YES YES YES, come on !

I wish Tony/ Candra will meet Markis/ Hendra in final ....
Hopefully MK/HS will get the title and prove that Ina have better pair than Tony.....
...if MK&HS can get in the Final and win it, then hats off to them...However, it's hard to compare them both, as 1 pair is much *older* than the other...That fact alone can't be denied...;)
Oh, speaking of which, TG&CW just lost:p ..too bad, but they'll get another shot next week to defend their title..;) :cool:

a little off topic, but can anyone see what PG is using?
AT700? I cant tell on this laptop... the video is a bit pixelated

Sigh~~ Gade, come on, he keeps eating egg now

oh boy. 1:30am. it has been a long long day for me.

Yeah, 4 all, faster, widen the gap please Gade. Chen Yu seems good too.

sO SAD......:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:: crying:
INA stil has Flandy n Marissa in XD final..;)

I hope to CAI/FU and Markis/Hendra in the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aGREE...AND mARKIS / Hendra will be the champion:):)

aGREE...AND mARKIS / Hendra will be the champion:):)

But i hope the malaysian pair will beat them :(

Gade, not much time, faster take over ! ! :o

..completely agree wholeheartedly..;) :p:(:) :cool:
With TG/CW experiences should never do such thing of the mistakes like today they in 3rd set. Especially they should close the game since second set.
..experience??yes, they both have it..But both just don't have that extra reserved energy compared to say 5-6 yrs ago..Absolutely, they should've closed it(in 2nd set) and it'll probably come back to haunt them...And i believe this is not the 1st time it happened to them, in these SS tourneys, when they're very close to clinching the match...But the younger CHN pair just have that extra push and they definitely ran with it-congrats!!..;)

But i hope the malaysian pair will beat them :(

How can it be?:)

Wats bothering Gade, he seems struggling to cope up with the game.

How can it be?:)

Thats the only hope left :(

INA stil has Flandy n Marissa in XD final..;)
...there you go, all is not completely lost;) ...And next week, there will be the Indo Open...:confused: ;)

do we know who is playing on the drafty side?

unless Peter starts to push a bit harder, Chen Yu is set to close the first game out....

Gade confirm losing first set :(

I think CY will take the 1st set!!I hope PG can win the 2nd set like yesterday match between him n KJ..GAMBATE PETER!!!You can do it!!!

Gade, dont give up ! ! Denmark's flag is flying high. You are their only hope left. :o

I don't know about you... but to me Peter looks fairly fatigued... :o
Bolehhhhhhhhh Peter!!! :D:D:D

No CHINESSE XD in the final.....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha........:D:):D :D:):):D:D

NO INA MS,WS and WD in the final...hahaahahhahahahaa:D :D :D :D :D
Hope CTF/LWW will send Kido/Hendra back home also:p :p :p

Gade cant let Chen Yu leading all the time :( .... Like that he will lose 2nd Set too. Chen Yu's stamina stronger than Gade. He seems good too. Come on Gade ! ! :o

..and holler for Gade, like i did earlier, but i might've jinxed him with my cheer..:p..So, maybe now i'll just give his a simple LET'S GO GADE!!!!:p :D ;)

Come on Gade ! ! :o
Come on Chen Yu:D :D

What a boring game... Why Gade doesnt seem to fight at all :confused: :confused: I think Chen Yu is in his best form. Come on GADE ! ! GA DE GA DE GA DE

Wow... seriously PG is cutting this very close to the line.... I know Chen Yu is strong... but man... :eek: sweet PG pulled even 18-18!!

Come on Chen Yu:D :D

If Chen yu can go to Final, Susilo will beat him for Gade (joking) :D

Come on GADE, push Chen Yu to the Rubber Set

damn.. squandered 1 game point lol... Go Peter Boleh!!!! Kambade Peter!! :D:D:D

PEOPLE ! ! ! !My heart is beating FAST man ! ! ! ! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Gade, close the 2nd SET ! ! !! ! GO GO GO

Damn it, one long shot by Chen Yu called in by the umpire!!
Peter should have won already!!!

at least peter took the second set, or it will be so controversial...

some questionable calls... :o

YEAH ! ! ! ! ! ! my idol win, way to go ! ! ! Gade keep on going please ! ! :o

capekkk dech,I have to wait for the rubber.Hope Chen Yu can take it

Damn it, one long shot by Chen Yu called in by the umpire!!
Peter should have won already!!!

at least peter won, or it will be so controversial...

WAT????? WAT DO U MEAN !?????????? OMG ! ! ! Gade Not winning YET !!! :crying: :crying:

yes!!! peter won 25-23

YEAH ! ! ! ! ! ! my idol win, way to go ! ! ! Gade keep on going please ! ! :o

Gong Xi Gong xi,but there will be the third game

Im blur~~~~ Rubber set NOW :confused:

Gong Xi Gong xi,but there will be the third game

THankS ! ! Go Gade, higher and higher ! ! ;)

Damn it, one long shot by Chen Yu called in by the umpire!!
Peter should have won already!!!

at least peter won, or it will be so controversial...

So far every linecall seems to have gone Chen Yus way in this semi.. Can't help to suspect biased line judges... Its esepcially annoying with 21 scoring, as these point may make or break an entire set!! Luckilly Gade took 2:an still (being robbed of some points!!)

/Twobeer

pace and quality of play is top notch, it should be the MS final:D
surprised that peter still have the speed and power, considering of his age and past injuries. LIne calls are weak, 3 inches out and called in. :o

Gade still has power for the rubber ah???

WAT????? WAT DO U MEAN !?????????? OMG ! ! ! Gade Not winning YET !!! :crying: :crying:

Basically two shots by Chen Yu was out but called in.
The first shot, my sister said it was out, but i wasn't really sure if it was because replay wasn't clear.
But at 23-22, with Peter leading, Chen Yu's shot was out but the umpire called it in!!!
I'm sure of this one, because even the commentator said it was long!
Peter should have won the game 24-22, but luckily he still took it 25-23 or it will be a waste.

Judges sitting there should be doing something seeing all this, umpire get confirmation from them isnt... Sigh~

Man, this 3rd set is pretty close...making me very nervous!

Agreed Chen Yu plays extremely well!!

juz coming..ahaha..what? cai yun n fu haifeng won? aiyohh

I think we need David Ortiz (of vitamin water fame) to come and smash the shuttle lodging it into the Umpire's eye :D:D:D jk jk

maybe that was the reason for the crap line calls

Gade mentioned that indeed he is lacking of stamina gradually, and need to be selective in competition nowadays.

wow, very close huh..

now 12-10 to chen yu.. go chen yu!!

Chen Yu widen the gap, come on Gade :o

sure is a far cry from the AE final where Chen Yu was just sparring with LD...
Its nice to see the players fight hard in their matches.
We know that CY & CJ can keep pace with the senior countrymen... and definitely keep pace with the other top singles... as we're seeing here against Peter.

Gade still has power for the rubber ah???

How can u say this? :crying: He is trying his best, cant you see??

How can u say this? :crying: He is trying his best, cant you see??

Damn Peter is chasing behind!

How can u say this? :crying: He is trying his best, cant you see??

If Chen Yu can win this game,Tomorrow I have to do fasting and go to temple,pray for the best for chinese team

Boleh Peter Bolehhhhhhhh!!!! 15-18... :eek::eek::eek:

edit: man Chen Yu is totally fired up for this match :D:D:D

edit2: Chen Yu Wins!!! Congrats China... 21-15, 25-23, 21-17...

This umpire and some line judges are corrupt :o very questionable calls to make

Damn Peter is chasing behind!

Sigh~ Im afraid Gade cannot take long rally and tired :(

If Chen Yu can win this game,Tomorrow I have to do fasting and go to temple,pray for the best for chinese team
