This will be another epic battles between teams.


MS - Bao Vs LCW - 60%-40% to BCL. He has played the game extremely well under pressure and has upset TH in front of the scary homecroud.

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen - 70%-30% to Zhu Lin. Wang Chen has slowed down alot.

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng - This will be the only match that involved the Indonesians - 70%-30% to the Chinese.

MD - Cai/Fu vs Zakry/Tazari - This will be another close match 60%-40% to the Chinese. But The Malaysians will give their all in their first ever SuperSeries Final.

WD - Yang/Du Jing vs TingTing/Yang Wei or Donna Kellog/Gail Emms - Most likely an all Chinese affair who TingTing/Yang Wei will get the title again.

Cai/Fu will go down as they did not play at all. KKK/TBH played even worst ...:crying:

MS
Bao Vs LCW

MD
Cai/Fu vs Zakry/Tazari
:) the same here!

Agree with all the predictions. Looking back, LCW was lucky Lin Dan pulled out. Bao had to take out Gade and Taufik. But LCW is not someone you can underestimate. Bao has to be at his best.

No matter how optimistic, I can't predict a Malaysian win in the MD.

The Chinese WS are incredible. When the second-stringers were having trouble, XXF and ZN cleaned the table. When the top-enders slackened, depend on a second-stringer to take up the slack. Maybe it's because of their sheer numbers that inevitably one will get to the final (like the Malaysian MD).

Good XD match tomorrow.

XIAO Bao VS LEE CW:51%-49%

CAI/FU VS MAS MD:60%-40%

DU/YU VS YANG/ZHAO:50%-50%

ZHENG/GAO VS Nova/Lilyana :50%-50%

ZHU Lin VS WANG Chen:60%-40%

BCL's perfomance against TH is really impressive. TH didn't show lack of motivation at all. he was playing at a fairly high level. if BCL can take down PGC, TH, and then LCW, that's pretty much the strongest opponents he has from overseas.

True. Best from Denmark, Indonesia and Malaysia. One man against the rest of the world.

Yep, Taufik was playing well in that game. I was a bit shocked at how well Bao was suddenly playing and I guess Taufik must have been too!

hopefully Zakry and Tazari will create another high quality game tomorrow.... it is very good to see malaysia's MD performing well in recent tournaments... when Koo/Tan failed to win in semifinal, Zakry and Tazari stepped up to keep malaysian flag flying... Lee CW is re-gaining his confidence but Bao is in better form... so i think Bao has higher chance to win the title.... :)

A CHINESE CLEAN SWEEP?? surely not..

MS - Bao Vs LCW - 55-45 - Magical performance by Bao, he didn't look in top form yet managed to slay Taufik. LCW's performance drop started with loss to Bao in Sept, maybe it is here that he can turn the tables and return to form. Expect a 3 setter.

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen - 80-20 - Wang Chen barely survived against Petya, no more resistance to fight

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng - 48-52 - Chinese pair motivated for revenge, Indonesian pair motivated by the crowd. 3 setter very possible.

MD - Cai/Fu vs Abd Latif/Tazari - 60-40. This MAS pair is talented but lack composure, will need a big lead to kill off CHN pair.

WD - Yu Yang/Du Jing vs Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei - 35-65- Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei best CHN pair in terms of skill among current pairs, even better than Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili.

A CHINESE CLEAN SWEEP?? surely not..

Dun worry, we are putting less pressure on HK, INA and MAS players so that some of them will win ...... :D

But one thing I have to concede, CHN players' mental strength is exemplary. Just look at Cai/Fu at SG Open Final. The confidence gained in SG Open win was put to very good use, and they have beaten MAS top two pairs back to back.

The same goes for Bao.

Yes, a Chinese clean sweep in Indonesia Open? That's going to be the biggest badminton miracle in recent years - especially that China has the track record of skipping IO (or no first class Chinese players entering to the tournament), perhaps for safety reason.

fairuz/zakry have the chance to win!!:) because they are playing as underdog, so nothing to lose..;) they have the speed which is not shown at all by cai/fu in the match against kkk/tbh today.. if MAS keep on with their fighting spirit, winning is not impossible.. fu's smash seems not as powerful as when they played against kkk/tbh in all eng but cai yun played very well esp at the baseline..

lcw vs bao should be depends on their perfomance tmr and see who is done less mistake.. it's hard to predict now...:confused:

KKK/TBH showed their more superior speed once in a while in today's match but they underused it, allowing CY/FHF to attack most of the time. I doubt F/Z can do better in this aspect - at least not until they are getting more mature in their partnership and game playing (maybe by OG'08).

After reading all the above postings, I concluded that if China were to win anything less then 5 titles in this IO'07, it will be considered a FAILURE. One title (WD) is already in the bag and they have 4 others to contest with.

Let's see what happens tomorrow! All the best to the finalists, especially LCW & Fairuz/Zakry, give your best and make us all proud. MAS BOLEH! ;p

No worries hcyong, 1.30pm is INA time, 1-hour time difference to M'sia. Probably the WD would have finished the 1st game or in the middle of the 2nd game. You won't miss LCW vs BCL's game... ;) :p :)

Eh, how come no one predicted for the victory of Nova/Lilyana?

Maybe they are not in top form, but I think they have showed great determination in today's match against the korean pair.

And if I'm not wrong, they are currently ranked the 1st in the world so they must've had something special.

Hehe btw, I'm a total noob in badminton so maybe my arguments are very vague ..

i guess he is too tall for taufik..
i think his height give him all advantages tat he need to win...
but i will still support my country..
LCW will win:D

i will be proud of fairuz/zakry even if they lost becoz they really giv out their best..
they show us wat a MD semi final match should be..
NOT with plenty of mistake & a low fighting spirit!!
:cool:

1 30 is malaysian time
its 12 30 indo time

Ya vching, I've just checked. Matches starts at 12.30 INA time (1.30 M'sia time). Seems like we might even the telecast of LCW vs BCL's match, scheduled right after the WD. But I have a feeling RTM1 will re-schedule and start at 2pm instead of 3pm. What's the point of LIVE telecast when they can't show that MS match esp. when one of the competitors in the final is from MAS!

wat a interesting IO..
all the malaysian player were in their 1st final appearance in SS:cool:

... and those take place in IO, historically one of the most difficult tournaments to win in the world (for non-Indonesians). Well, foreign players have all been taking the advantage on the decline of badminton quality in INA.

Eh, how come no one predicted for the victory of Nova/Lilyana?

Hehehe... my opinion why there isn't much comments made on Nova/Lilyana... it's because they are up against GAO LING. And, she is a favourite among all the forummers here. :cool: :D :p :D :D :D

The chinese will be having the upper hand.....but who knows it might be another suprise like what happened in the semis......then MAS can bag 2 golds home by Monday.......hahahah........:p:p:p:p:D:D:D:D:D Win by luck like striking a lottery.........:eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:;);)

Looking at the empty seats from the tv screen, where are the supports? Especially when their very own beloved badminton idols TH and CW/TG, playing their respective matches in front of their home crowd. This scenario garnered an insight of the deteriorating ailing situation of the once No. 1 badminton nation in the world today.

It's sad, so sad. :(

Yep . . Indonesia is in a very depressed mood lately

perhaps you have learned from the media, or perhaps you haven't, that there are strings of endless problem that struck our beloved country ranging from natural disasters, rampant corruption among the country's leaders, stagnant economy, rising fuel price, added with the messy political condition . .

We just can not pay attention on badminton matches anymore when there are so many things that need immediate attention.:crying:

there will be a time when we can cheer our lungs out for our country during badminton matches, but it will certainly take a long time. right now, most of the people here are more concerned on how to feed their family.

Maybe Indonesia will not regain it's greatness and even if she does, it will not happen anytime soon.

Go Wang Chen, go Hong Kong!!!

Yes, Wang Chen is impressive. We should see what happen tomorrow!!!:mad: :) :crying: :mad: :) :crying:

Go Go Go Bao ChunLai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JiaYou Bao!
JiaYou Bao!
i hope he will win tomorrow...........

tomorrow's favourite will be Bao Chunlai and Cai Yun/Fu Hai Feng. malaysians are the underdogs. but LCW will be looking forward to avenge his World Championship loss last year. it will be tough for Bao Chunlai as LCW is very determined to win. CY/FHF has the upperhand in terms of experience, skills and honours. but Zakry/Fairuzizuan will go all out to win their 1st SS title. They proved that their victory over KKK/TBH is Singapore Open is not a fluke. I believe Zakry/Fairuzizuan is better than KKK/TBH. the reason is, KKK/TBH rely too much on drives rather than defense or attack. they hope their opponent to lift the shuttle but in the end, toay they lift the shuttle to CY/FHF to attack. but zakry/fairuzizuan is different. their game is similar to CTF/LWW. lift the shuttle and play an open game. they lose points easily but also win many points in a row. this is a difference. in terms of basic skills, Zakry/Fairuzizuan is definitely better than KKK/TBH. hope KKK/TBH learn a lesson that CY/FHF already found a strategy and improved a lot. KKK/TBH can't rely on their old strategy anymore. they need to improve more and more and more and more....

LCW will win it tomorrow. BAO is a spent force (Taufik did a good job to use BAO up).

I dont think so dude. At this top level, all the players are superbly conditioned. And Bao is pretty young, so he can recover fast. I bet he can play another 3 matches and still have enough gas for 1 more game.

However although I feel that Bao is the favourite, I really want LCW to win! Time to step up, Mr Lee!:) I think LCW has a 30% chance of winning this one.

For the men's doubles, it's going to be Cai/Fu 100%. Realistically, Z/F don't have the firepower to match the world champs.

Obviously, you don't know how tough a game with Taufik is. And you, like everybody else, think LCW is not the same class as BAO. LCW did not have it tough against Chen Hong.Given this, expect him to give BAO the 'sh*t' tomorrow. BAO will feel the pain tomorrow if he hadn't felt it today.

This will be another epic battles between teams.


MS - Bao Vs LCW - 60%-40% to BCL. He has played the game extremely well under pressure and has upset TH in front of the scary homecroud.

China taking all 5 titles in Indonesian Open? :eek: Probably not many could have predicted that 1 week ago.

You sound exactly like Indra, the only difference is that at least Indra's pick is a better player than your pick.

I strongly suggest that you may want to skip a few meals before the Bao vs LCW match, as you may have to eat your words after the match is over... those words of yours will be very tough to swallow and disgest.:p

I hope you do the same if it turns out your strong words betray you.:D

i think if Zakry and fairuz keep the performance like today (semi final), they can win tomorow.
i have a bit disappointed about KKK and TBH's performance. They dint have thier strategy when playing with CAi and Fu today.:crying:
anyway, hope they can improve in the following super series.

if CY/FHF played like today, hard for Zakry/Fairuz to win too.. anyway, may the best pair win. no doubt, it will be interesting for badminton fans from all over the world tomorrow..

I'm sure Bao will bt LCW and be the winner. Because he has a very strong mentality. Just like today when he played against TH. Although he has only a few of supporter, not like TH who has a lot of supporters, he still can won that match. And of course he is in the best performance now. I will always support Bao. Jia you!! Jia you!!

it was a miracle he can dominate the match and make taufik catch up from behind. in terms of skills, taufik is superior but bao chunlai manage to beat taufik. tough work for LCW and i hope LCW can give his 200% tomorrow..

We calculated the MD rankings on this coming Thursday in the IO sf thread and now I'm calculating the MS rankings.

No matter who wins on tomorrow, the rankings should be (1) LD (2) CH (3) LCW (4) CY (5) BCL (6) PGC (7) Boonsak (8) Hafiz (9) Shoji (10) KJ (11) Taufik

Why Taufik will be kicked out of top-10 despite of his sf appearance in IO'07? He's the victim of the rule "points awarded in the previous edition of a tournament will be expired when the present edition is wrapped up". He was the IO'06 champion. Therefore, his loss in IO sf means that he will lose 2600 points, thus being knocked down.

then LCW loss in MO makes him lose a lot of points too.. hard to catch up with Lin Dan now..

Sorry for the typo. CJ should stay in No.2. Just push the rest one rung down.

LCW's qf appearance in MO'07 means that he had lost 4000 points. However, I remember he only dropped one rung at that time - from 2nd to 3rd. That was probably that it was a big point gap between him and the 4th ranked player. On the other hand, Taufik is ranked 11th right now anyway (not 10th) and his points are very close to the 12th ranked Shoji (about 2700 points apart). Therefore, on coming Thursday, the two players will swap place (as Shoji will gain 800 points while Taufik will lose 2600 points).

I am too broken hearted today after Taufik :crying: and Tony-Chandra's loss....:crying: :crying: I won't watch the finals tomorrow... :( I could not bear any more dissapointments this week... :crying: Even though my heart goes to Lily-Nova, I cannot face a possible reality that Gao Ling & Zheng Bo can very well beat them tomorrow.....

My sin is that I thirst for Indonesian badminton glory... Not enough glory today... :crying: [actually not much in the past 6 months] :p


I will just play badminton with my friends tomorrow. They are all very sad after witnessing the tragedy... :crying: We want to practice the moves we learnt this week [an unrealistic ambition, but hey, we are amateurs, we can dream whatever we want]... :D

As for Bao... the other Chinese players who were watching the game in the player's corner praised Bao's FANTASTIC performance today. Taufik didn't play badly, but Bao was just superior. I admire his progress compared to last year's performance. His net play was as good as Taufik's today. Superb!

The other Chinese players also comment one warning [based on facts]... Bao often played well in the semifinals but.... in the finals, he very very very often could not perform his best. Just look at Bao's overall career....
Runner Up...

Sort of like our Taufik at the Indonesian Open eh?!? :p Just like LCW, Taufik does not win every single year at home, but I believe, by the end of Taufik's career, he will break Ardy's record by winning 7 Indonesian Open titles... :D

True. Best from Denmark, Indonesia and Malaysia. One man against the rest of the world.
Smart of LYB to line BCL up fresh only for the second tournament when the others would be half spent (except perhaps LCW) Add that to some claims that BCL just came back from knee injury and to be able to defeat PG and TH while possibly carrying an injury...BCL has to be out of this world!
But I always feel sorry for LCW. If he wins, it will be because LD did not turn up! If BCL wins,it will prove that LYB knew there was no need for LD to turn up. Give LCW a break.

Inky2000,

What happened to Chen Jin in your calculation?!?

Posted correction already. Please go back to a few replies ago.

then LCW loss in MO makes him lose a lot of points too.. hard to catch up with Lin Dan now..
What's so important about catching up with LD on RP now? With SS, there's no big advantage in being WR1, is there? Maybe you may want to list out the pluses. Does being WR1 guarantee an easy draw?

The stadium maybe quarter full...but most of us, choose to sat/stood on the tv camera side...cause players entrance in that side..easier to see and take picture...
chandler, the 1st game of the CH vs LCW match was not telecast 'live' so would you pls fill us in on it? Did CH lose because he was unlucky?

no advantage being at the top? then why does lin dan want to secure the world no.1? why malaysia keep saying LCW at world no.1 last year was great? why taufik wants to improve his ranking now?? ask yourself first..if there is no advantage at the top, then what are rankings for? why not stay at the bottom of the ranking??

i'm supporting malaysia
malaysia!
malaysia!
malaysia!

jia you jia you!!:D :D

Smart of LYB to line BCL up fresh only for the second tournament when the others would be half spent (except perhaps LCW) Add that to some claims that BCL just came back from knee injury and to be able to defeat PG and TH while possibly carrying an injury...BCL has to be out of this world!
But I always feel sorry for LCW. If he wins, it will be because LD did not turn up! If BCL wins,it will prove that LYB knew there was no need for LD to turn up. Give LCW a break.admit it, bcl had improved alot during his absent. His win wasn't all due to because of resting. TH had rested alot too. He is famous for resting, playing only selected tournaments.

if CY/FHF played like today, hard for Zakry/Fairuz to win too.. anyway, may the best pair win. no doubt, it will be interesting for badminton fans from all over the world tomorrow..
Overall, I find the match quality btw cy/fhf vs kkk/tbh rather poor. I would put it under 'waste of time'. Don't you think so?

not an easy call, but LCW should take Bao tomorrow.#
I have to say I expected Taufik to steamroller BCL butcredit to Bao for a great match....
But.... Bao will be tired. He has had to take out Gade and Taufik and has played other tough games. LCW is very fit and sharp and has come through the easier half of the draw. It might have been another story if he'd had to play LD but i think Lin Dan isn't here because of fatigue more than anything. LD had a dip in form, LCW is coming out of his [it's all 'biorhythms'!]

And don't forget that LCW has a good head to head against Bao - the way he plays with angles and switching the play seems to work well against the big guy. I know he lost that WC quarter but there was nothing in that [at the time that was an upset]

Lastly I think though Bao has really improved he is fighting the constraints of a tall lanky frame. He's not got the raw power to blast LCW off court as LD can, he has to grind him down - I mean in terms of power BCL's smash is weaker than mine, and I'm not a pro. To throw 6ft3 inches of body around the court the way he does is very impressive, and he has made the most of what nature has given him, but I guess his body will pay the price over a tournament...... Thats why I guess he rarely wins tournaments.

Prediction: LCW loses the opener in a long battle, maybe in overtime in an effort to wear Bao out - lots of lifts and nets - basic stuff to make Bao tired, then goes for broke second set, and Bao eases off to conserve energy LCW takes the second to a cricket score [21-9 i guess] and then the real battle starts in the third game. Then Bao matches LCW initially before Chong Wei pulls away in the latter stages.

ok. late but here are my predictions:

BCL vs. LCW - tough to predict. this would be a very significant match to both players. LCW needs to prove to the world that he can win a tournament after a period of lows, and most importantly, he need to prove that he can win it without Li Mao on his side. BCL also need to prove to the world that he too can win one. and able to beat the best of the world while he is doing it. but as we can see that Bao has matured and is in tip-top form. so i am going to pick Bao.

Zhu Lin vs. Wang Chen - i am pick Wang Chen here. tough pick but i think Zhu Lin is still too young and she will not do much other than gain some more valueable experience against a much more seasoned player like Wang Chen.

Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng vs. Zakry/Fairuzizuan - i think it is time for me to remember how to spell Z/F's names. as i think we will see more of them in the next couple of years. however, as of today, CY/FHF are still the top pair in the world and they seemed to have worked on other aspects of the game aside from pure smashes after smashes. they played defense, drives and placement just as well as the Malaysians. so CY/FHF it will be.

Nova/Lilyana vs. Zheng/Gao - tough call again. this is really 50/50 in my mind. Nova/Lilyana didn't play too bad at all in the SO and IO. as for Zheng/Gao, they are still very formidable. but for the sake of some diversity, i will pick the INA here...

Du/Yu vs. ZTT/YW - picking the younger pair just for the heck of it. it would still be a good match to watch.

eh, wat is pian xin?


pian1 xin1.. i'm not sure how to say it in english
hahaha cuz u supported zakry only.. and forgot fairuz..
anyways, nvm.. cai/fu will beat zakry/fairuz tomorrow.. :D

oh..like that..ahaha.. i dun like fairuz..dun know y..:D

i think it will be the other way,,hehehe:D :rolleyes: ;) who knows....

Bao Chun Lai outplayed Taufik all the way in the semi final. Taufik had no chance to catch up at all. Just wondering it's because Bao has improved tremendously or Taufik was out of form or he got injury?

no advantage being at the top? then why does lin dan want to secure the world no.1? why malaysia keep saying LCW at world no.1 last year was great? why taufik wants to improve his ranking now?? ask yourself first..if there is no advantage at the top, then what are rankings for? why not stay at the bottom of the ranking??
LD needs to be WR1 because it helps his playing confidence.He needs to feel like he's the best in order to win.He exhibits two playing modes; 'champion' and 'little boy'.When he's in a champion mode, he's hard to beat. When he's in a little boy mode, even class 3 players like RS and PSH beat him.
What i'm saying is it's nice to be among the top but there's no need to be WR1.

Looking at the empty seats from the tv screen, where are the supports? Especially when their very own beloved badminton idols TH and CW/TG, playing their respective matches in front of their home crowd. This scenario garnered an insight of the deteriorating ailing situation of the once No. 1 badminton nation in the world today.

It's sad, so sad. :(

Maybe because first the ticket fee is quite expensive. And second we can see it live in SCTV channel.

And tomorrow will be more empty cause we only had one pair in final.

I thought Indonesia players would dominate the IO2007 because they always play better at home ground with superior supports. I'm still waiting to see Indonesia walk out from the dark and produce many star players like Heryanto, Ardy, Rexy/Ricky, Hendrawan, CG/TG.

MS - Bao Vs LCW

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng

MD - Cai/Fu vs Abd Latif/Tazari

WD - Yu Yang/Du Jing vs Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei

Here are my predictions:

BCL vs. LCW
Not easy job to beat PG and also TH in straight sets. BCL confidence level are very high now. As for his runner up status, please check who win the title when BCL was runner up. Probably all of them because he lost to his teammates in final. (From LD, CH and even CH) And now after all of his team mates lost, now is the perfect times to win one title this year.

Zhu Lin vs. Wang Chen

Probably will be straight sets win cause WC already exhausted from her 3 long sets matches in SF. ZL will use her quickness to win against WC.

Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng vs. Zakry/Fairuzizuan
If you watch the SF matches, you already know that the Malaysian are not very best in defending against smashes and cannot smashes very hard from behind like FHF. If Cai/Fu can match their drive play and I think they can, they will lost in straight sets

Nova/Lilyana vs. Zheng/Gao -

Because I hope Indonesia at least won one title. Careful cause Gao Ling will be all out considering she did not need to play WD.

Du/Yuvs. ZTT/YW - An other win for new pair but same old players. If ZTT pair with Cai or Fu in mix doubles instead of Zhang Jun, China at least will had another strong MX cause ZTT proved to be very good WD and MX players. But sadly usually LYB always gave her second best male players to mix in MX.

MS - Bao Vs LCW

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng

MD - Cai/Fu vs Abd Latif/Tazari

WD - Yu Yang/Du Jing vs Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei


Be reminded that we are always shocked by dark horses, like Singapore Aviva Open. Maybe LCW or Latif/Tazari would win tomorrow.

I am afraid the only event that can prevent Chinese from sweeping is the WS as Wong Chen always play with extra energy against Chinese player.
In MD, the young Malaysians pair is just not good enough to play against Fu/Cai but I am so glad they advance so deep into the round and managed to beat the veteran in SF.
In MS, Chong Wei still has yet to play against the top notch player so Bao certainly has an upper hand. But Chong Wei seems focus and determine and should be a good battle.
As for XD, really depend on the fan to shaken the confident of Zheng/Gao.
See you guy tonight!

Win or not win all the titles tomorrow, LYB already will be happy cause all his key players except maybe for ZN and XXF gone thru final. With Bao CL, Cai/Fu, Gao/Zheng, Yang w/ZTT plus Lin Dan, XXF and ZN, who can stop China team to win another Sudirman Cup next month?

it seem both bcl and lcw have improved their skills. Now this final is a test of mental strength since both bcl and lcw are known to be weak in the mental department.

Like I said many times before over and over, Its not easy to Win a title specially like AE or Olympic medal, but the hardest part in keep consistently play well through your careers.

Only a handful players can do that specially in tough field like MS and MD.

Example:

TH and LD are consistent. TH sometimes win very important titles. And LD at least win 3 title or more than that since 4 years ago.

PG and BCL and CH also very consistent. Although CH won more titles than PG or BCL this few years.

LCW rise very high last year for about 7 months but since WC2006, he took a stumble.

And Hafiz. After winning a AE, he likely only reach QF in top level tournaments.

As for MD:

Wow! A very big respect for Tony/Chandra. They already play international level for more than ten years and still very consistent although they did not win all the time, but still a very major threat to all players.

After them, Cai/Fu also play very consistent since their debut in late 2002 when Fu is only 17 or 18? So playing a consistent 5 years of career is not bad at all.

After that probably JE/MLH. Although they did not play very well this year. Age factor.

After them maybe CTF/ LWW. Although always choke on big final, you had to give them credits to being in top 10 for so long, minus when one of them injured.

I cannot say that for Luluk/Alvent. They are extreme well in 2003-2004. But from then, they started to stumble and now fall benaeath the earth. They had lost all the confidence.

And now Markis/Kido. After a very good year in 2006, 2007 not very kind to them. Hope they can bounce back pretty quick or they will follow Luluk/Alvent step. We really need Ricky/Rexy and Chandra/Tony mental strength for our MD pairs right now.

For KKK/TBH , they still play very good except for SO 2007. But losing to another Malaysia pairs is understandable. Lets see how they do the rest of the year.

Yes, a Chinese clean sweep in Indonesia Open? That's going to be the biggest badminton miracle in recent years - especially that China has the track record of skipping IO (or no first class Chinese players entering to the tournament), perhaps for safety reason.

It's not safe for Chinese players to play in Indonesia?:eek:

MS - Bao Vs LCW

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng

MD - Cai/Fu vs Abd Latif/Tazari

WD - Yu Yang/Du Jing vs Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei

hurm..i miss the time when we were supporting koo n tan like crazy

yup,I agree with u...we didn't know whats going on in da final but i hope its gonna be a tough game

Be reminded that we are always shocked by dark horses, like Singapore Aviva Open. Maybe LCW or Latif/Tazari would win tomorrow.

XIAO Bao can beat LEE CW!

XIAO Bao ,jia you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Lee CW is in underdog position here and as usual, i'll support LCW. LCW boleh!!! :)

It's sad, so sad.
Yep . . Indonesia is in a very depressed mood lately

perhaps you have learned from the media, or perhaps you haven't, that there are strings of endless problem that struck our beloved country ranging from natural disasters, rampant corruption among the country's leaders, stagnant economy, rising fuel price, added with the messy political condition . .

We just can not pay attention on badminton matches anymore when there are so many things that need immediate attention.:crying:

there will be a time when we can cheer our lungs out for our country during badminton matches, but it will certainly take a long time. right now, most of the people here are more concerned on how to feed their family.

Maybe Indonesia will not regain it's greatness and even if she does, it will not happen anytime soon.
..it must be a really sad and embarrassing day...Fortunately, Nova&Lilyana save a bit of face with their appearance in the Finals..I don't know what must be going thru indra's mind after Taufik's lost..:rolleyes::p;)
As for the venue being "empty", hmm, maybe PBSI should go back to Surabaya again next yr, as they did last yr, and play in a smaller yet more intimate atmosphere;)

2007 is the year of FU/CAI !!! My prediction is they will dominant the MD this year and next year at Beijing 2008. Superb defense and offense, the most all around MD today.

...their head to head record??...:confused:

..courtesy of tournamentsoftware.com....Looks like a lot of people are predicting a CHN team sweep...Will this happen?? we shall wait & see..

MS - Bao Vs LCW

WS- Zhu Lin Vs Wang Chen

MXD - Natsir/Widianto vs Gao/Zheng

MD - Cai/Fuvs Abd Latif/Tazari

WD - Yu Yang/Du Jing vs Zhao Tingting/Yang Wei

China will go back with one trophy only..

Hope China won't bring home all five trophy...

Hope China won't bring home all five trophy...

Hope China bring home all five title!!!!!!!

Lol!!China bring back three trophy is already enough...Another two more Malaysia is going to bring back...Jia You Malaysia!!!!!

zakry !
zakry !
rexy !

:)

Lee Chong Wei :)

Haha, it's so funny how fans confuse "predictions" with "hope"... just look at some their "predictions".

Anyway to mine (winners in bold as always):
MS
BAO Chunlai over LEE Chong Wei
Wow, after witnessing BCL's performance over Taufik, I'm convinced he'll win. He looked composed and sharp, and played TH well at the net. If LCW can push him around the court and stretch it to 3 games, he may have a chance.

WS
ZHU Lin over WANG Chen
WC should be tired after her close encounter with Petya. ZL looks fresh and well prepared. Whether it's 2 or 3 games, ZL should outlast WC.

MD
FU H.F./CAI Y over ZAKRY M./FAIRUZIZUAN M
Gotta take my hat off to Fu & Cai for their dominating performance over KKK/TBH. They seem to have become more tactically savvy but their defence remains suspect. They should be able to stroll to victory. However, I'd like to see someone put super charged batterries into the MAS youngsters and see them go crazy.

WD
ZHAO T.T./YANG W over DU J./YU Y
Not particularly interested so I'll toss the coin and... voila

XD
ZHENG B./GAO over WIDIANTO N./NATSIR L
With the crowd being the great equalizer, I'll say it's going to be a close match with the CHN pair edging it. It's going to boil down to which of the men play better. Both are the weak links; which ever team exploits it better will have the upperhand.

Looks like a CHN clean sweep to me.

fairuz/zakry stand d chance to win :) have faith mlsians :)

can i noe what channel and time is the match being broadcasted?

yeah.... will this be on TVants?

hope the malaysians will win but I think there is more chances for the chinese...

can i noe what channel and time is the match being broadcasted?
yeah.... will this be on TVants?
...for an update...RTM should show it(time pending-hcyong posted, HERE (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=574119&postcount=14), they'll broadcast @ 3PM M'sia time)..CCTV5 will broadcast and you can watch it thru TvAnts-they'll start broadcasting @ 4:30 PM CHN time..;)

Ugh luckys...its almost impossible to ever catch a glimpse of any national games on tv when ur in North America...troublesome, gotta either wait for news or dl from torrence sources which i sadly cant cause my comps crap but lol matches are almost all quite evened except the WS but heh the bettr player will come out eventually :D

Olala, this INA flop performance is similar with 2003 event when TH was the only one player that entered last round and grabbed the MS title...

WD -- 6 SS titles from this division always go to CHN, speechless!

MS -- BCL vs LCW, hmm LCW wanna say many thanks to BCL who defeated his biggest nemesis TH yesterday. So LCW can reach victorious in Jakarta after almost 1 year this MAS ace didn't grab any title. Once again BCL is runner-up specialist. Head-to-head LCW - BCL = 6 : 2

WS -- Zhu Lin should prevail

MD -- Cai/Fu will responsible their position as world champ and #1

XD -- hard fight, absolutely. Wish Lilyana/Nova can save INA face in finale, Come on!

..let's try to stay on topic..:)

Hehehe... my opinion why there isn't much comments made on Nova/Lilyana... it's because they are up against GAO LING. And, she is a favourite among all the forummers here. :cool: :D :p :D :D :D

Ah, yes. It's amazing what a simple smile can do to melt the hearts of the most battle-hardened of forummers ...... :D :D :D

Nova/Lilyana are still playing well, but they were better at the S'pore Open. So unless they can regenerate that form, the smiling assassin and her new chubby partner will exact revenge .....

i dont knoe why, but i jus have tis gut feeling tat chongwei will win tomorrow.. go chongwei!! are you going to prove me wrong, bao? :)

(NOTE: political discussions are not allowed here in BC. all related posts have been removed. thanks.)

I hope MAS players will win their games..but I also don't mind if China take all five trophies..I they are that good, then they deserve the clean sweep...

Oh dear! I just finished my final exams. And didn't manage to get updates on INA Open at all. Today when i'm driving back to KL (from my University) I was damn shocked to hear (on the radio) that Zakry/Fairuz pair is in the final! :eek:

I swear i accidentally swerved my car to the right!

I support Zakry/Fairuz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey dude, don't do that again, you life is still in it's infancy, still a long way to go. :) Be safe, you can make the difference! :p ;)

Post #123 contains political discussions but hasn't been removed yet.

Day of Reckoning is here. LCW wants to prove to everyone that he is not a 'washed up' player yet. It is a tall order with BAO playing at his best finally.

But I think life is unpredictable, and Murphy's Law, is always there to be debunked. BAO, on plain rationale, must be tired after the hard game against Taufik yesterday (his muscles would be aching even if he is a well conditioned player) -- anyone who writes otherwise don't really know what they are saying. The body does not recover that fast. LCW had it easy till now and he was not extended too much playing Chen Hong, who was obviously not fit (maybe now that CH is an independent player, he needs not have to follow the rigours of training imposed by the National Team, contributing to his lack of stamina).

All LCW needs to do is play it tight by keeping his error rate down and push the shuttle everywhere to force BAO to play hard and tire. Anyone who tires make mistakes, we saw that in Chen Hong's 2nd game with LCW. He almost stopped, creating so many errors (I am sure it was a match he was glad to give to LCW).

I stand to be corrected wrong by BAO today.

Mmm... the FINALS will kicked off soon, less than an hour away.

Funny, where is HuangKwokHau aka Hau-ge today? He is been hooping around the forum for the past many days since SO started. Is it because his favourite TH lost yesterday, he is staying away? Anyway, I do missed your posting, Hau-ge... LOL ;p

All my best wishes and good luck to all the finalists. In every match, there's bound to be a winner and a loser... so give your best!:) To be in the finals is already an achievement!

reaching the finals is an achievement.losing in a final is proud as long as they tried their best. important is playing to their best and present a good show to the spectators. all the best to all the finalist.

GET ASTRO @ RM 98/month !

hopefully this will be a 30-29 game :p

don worry.......rubber games for the WD.......

Gosh\, just only notice that it is MAS vs CHN in both the mens' department final. MAS all the best.......Win them or at least lose them in style...........Well, even in the worst scenario, we'll also be taking 2 silver home this time, right?

Has the game started? RTM1 still not showing.... :crying:

DJ&YY-ZTT&YW: 21-8/16-21/2-2..ZTT pulls ahead...DJ catches her...where are we going??..

WD
DJ&YY-ZTT&YW: 21-8/16-21/4-3.we're headed to Championship Podium restaurant...let's see who can get there first wins..DJ races ahead..

I live in Singapore. It is illegal to install Astro! All the BCers will benefit if we feed Astro to TVants!

now it is just 2.10 only, still left 50 minutes before MS final. LCW will be on stage receiving medals already by 3pm.....RTM RTM.....sigh........last nite we already miss the most interesting part of LCW's match.

Although that is the most likely outcome, but I don't want it to happen, we have to stop China from winning all the titles...

Do part-time work; camp on a friend's Astro; go to Mamak Restaurant with Astro, or go to Electronic store to view Astro.:D Many ways to skin the cat.

what channel is showing in astro ? starsports or supersports ? I don't think is ESPN right ?

The thing is that I wouldn't need to do that if RTM shows the match. Still 40 minutes to go... I guess we will miss at least the first set...
