Is there any draw yet? I cant understand Vietnamese

HCM City (VNA) – As many as 258 players from 17 countries and territories are expected to compete in the Robot Viet Nam Challenge Badminton Championships to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from May 22-27.
This year's tournament has been upgraded to the Challenge championships from the Satellite system.
Some of the world's top ranked players are expected to lace up for the event, including Malaysia's 19th ranked Hashim Muhd Roslin, Poompat Sapkulchananart (Thailand, 41st), Kidd Nicholas (Britain, 47th), Tan Chun and Seang (Malaysia, 48th).
The women's draw will be spearheaded by Malaysian Wong Pei Xian, who like her male compatriot is also ranked 19th in the world. Soratja Chansrisukot (Thailand, 30th), Monthila Meemeak (Thailand, 34th), Hallam Tracey (Britain, 40th) and Agnese Allegrini (Italy 41st) round out this years title favourites.
The men and women’s doubles and the mixed doubles will also draw teams from inside the world’s top 50.
Viet Nam will send mainly youngsters from their contingent of 55 players to take part in the tournament in a bid to blood them for the rigours of international competition.
62nd ranked Nguyen Tien Minh, is considered by pundits to have the best chance out of the local.

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono, Ari Yuli Wahyu will be at the Vietnam Challenge...:cool:

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono, Ari Yuli Wahyu will be at the Vietnam Challenge...:cool:

same as Rosaria and Maria elfira?

I heard not only Maria Elfira and Rosaria Pungkasari, but also Melicia Kurniawan, Bellaetrix M., Aprillia Yuswandari, Maria Febe Kusumastuti will be there. Febe nearly defeated Cheng Shao Chieh in the round of 32 of Indonesian Open last week. :cool: After escaping a tough rubber set against Febe, Cheng Shao Chieh defeated Xie Xinfang in straight sets... :p Maria Febe is Indonesia's best Junior at this time and will probably do well in this year's Asian Junior and World Junior. The Istora audience said that her footwork remind them of Susy Susanti... [well, actually no laaah... I personally think Susy was much better]

Sylvinna Kurniawan cannot go due to a waist injury she got. Yuan Kartika was pulled out by Pelatnas because of her poor form shown in Thailand Series and Indonesian Open... Melicia Kurniawan of PB. Tangkas and Bellaetrix of PB. Jaya Raya used their own family funds to go compete.

Along with Andre Kurniawan Tedjono and Ari Yuli Wahyu ...Hayom Rumbaka and Nugroho Andi Saputro will also join the Vietnam Challenge in MS. This Nugroho is argueably Indonesia's best Junior player... Imelda Wiguna, PBSI's talent scout, said that Nugroho shall be Indonesia's pillar for the future, along with Tommy Sugiarto... :cool: I personally liked Hayom better. I witnessed Hayom showcasing his talent last week when he forced Tommy Sugiarto to rubber sets. Indra Bagus and Bandar Sigit was registered earlier on, but got pulled out this week after unsatisfactory performances of the past 2 weeks...

Nadia-Devi, Yulianti-Richi, Bellaetrix M.-Samantha Lintang, Debby Susanto-Luluk Ulfa, Meliana Jauhari-Shendy Puspa, Rintan Apriliana-Purwati will appear in the WD. :) Pretty massive WD lineup... I think Yulianti-Richi, who won the Thai Series 2 weeks ago, should perform well again. I was surprised with this Nadya-Devi news. I thought Nadia-Nitya will never be separated...

Tantowi-Viki, Fernando-Subakti, Bona-Ahsan, Wifqi-Alfiat will appear in the MD... What happened to Rendra Wijaya, he still does not have any partner to play with?

Tantowi-Yulianti, Viki-Richi, Wifqi-Debby and Luluk-Alfiat in XD... The latter 2 XD pairs are Indonesia's prospects for this year's international Junior Championships...

wow..it is impressive..it is time to send all juniors to be grilled outside...

I saw Melicia Kurniawan competing in the Singapore Satellite last year. She is coached by Liang Chiu Hsia. She appears to come from a well-to-do background.

I am delighted to see Maria Febe and other juniors' progress. Pia's progress seem to have stalled since she joined Pelatnas last year :cool:

Nadia-Devi, Yulianti-Richi, Bellaetrix M.-Samantha Lintang, Debby Susanto-Luluk Ulfa, Meliana Jauhari-Shendy Puspa, Rintan Apriliana-Purwati will appear in the WD. :) Pretty massive WD lineup...

I was quite surprised too that Nitya/Nadya are "separated" now. Perhaps it's just an experiment by Richard? Lita Nurlita needs a better partner than Nathalia Poluakan. There's a good chance that Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda might go far in the NZ Open this week. Nitya/Nadya have been tested for so many times and even then, they lost to Purwati/Meiliana Jauhari a couple of times. Devi's partner (Shendy Puspa) also returned back to Djarum, so, she needs a new partner. We'll see how the new partnership perform.

Tantowi/Yulianti could perhaps win another Satellite title here?

Int’l badminton tournament draws players from 17 countries, territories

16/05/2007
VietNamNet Bridge

Taking place from May 22-27 at HCM City’s Phan Dinh Phung Sports House, the Robot Vietnam Challenge badminton tournament will attract the participation of 258 players (147 male and 111 female) from 17 countries and territories.

Foreign teams include Japan, Australia, Iran, Scotland, Britain, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan and Ireland.

Host Vietnam has the highest number of players, 55: 29 male and 26 female players

Notably, the event will draw many players who are in the top 100 of the International Badminton Federation (IBF) (shouild be BWF) rankings, such as Muhd Roslin and Chung Seang of Malaysia (the world’s 19th and 48th players), Poompat of Thailand (world’s 41st), Britain’s Nicholas Kidd (47th), and Vietnam’s Nguyen Tien Minh, the current champion of the Robot Vietnam Challenge (62nd), for the men’s singles; and Malaysia’s Pie Xian (19th), Thailand’s Soratja and Monthila (30th and 34th), and Zhou Mi (4th at the 2004 Athens Olympics) for the women’s singles.

The total value of prize money is US$15,000, comprising $2,000 for the male champion, $1,300 for the female champion, $1,350 for the men’s and women’s doubles champions, and $1,150 for the mixed doubles champion.

In addition, the singles’ champions will receive more points toward their efforts to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

I heard not only Maria Elfira and Rosaria Pungkasari, but also Melicia Kurniawan, Bellaetrix M., Aprillia Yuswandari, Maria Febe Kusumastuti will be there. Febe nearly defeated Cheng Shao Chieh in the round of 32 of Indonesian Open last week. :cool: After escaping a tough rubber set against Febe, Cheng Shao Chieh defeated Xie Xinfang in straight sets... :p Maria Febe is Indonesia's best Junior at this time and will probably do well in this year's Asian Junior and World Junior.

I remember Febe almost beat Wang Yihan in MILO 2005, lost 8-11 after lead 8-5 in 3rd set.
Will Pia still in next INA junior squad ? Without good coach,Pia was better when she trained in Jaya Raya rather than in Pelatnas. For Yuan (and Fransiska), I predict they won't stay in Pelatnas soon.

Dissapointed decision by PBSI, won't send Bandar in here. His performance wasn't bad, quarter final in Thailand and lost in tough 3 sets final qualifying to Andre Kurniawan Tedjono (who beat Jonassen) is good for 16 y.o. player. For me bandar is 1st choice for INA Junior squad followed by Nugroho & Hayom.

I didn't see Lili Siswanti in any tournament this month, where is she ? She usually paired with Richi in WD. Richi also still in junior age, who is her partner in junior team?

I also hope the news I got about Bandar and Indra Bagus not going to Vietnam is incorrect, but that's the latest word on the street... And you're right, Bandar is Indonesia's best choice for the Asian Junior and World Junior championship. Followed by Nugroho. I am pretty sure Hayom is 19 this year, he won't play in the international Junior championships anymore. We shall just let Djarum finance his way into stardom...

Pia is in NZ Open now. Just visit www.tournamentsoftware.com (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/). Last time I checked, she is in the round of 16. I agree with you that Yuan Kartika and Fransisca Ratnasari might not be in the Pelatnas team anymore if there is going to be a cut this year. I think the Pelatnas WS team should just be Firda-Maria-Pia-Aprillia-Febby.

With not much cash, I think PBSI should not recruit anymore WS. Besides, the other talented youths might not be interested in joining Pelatnas at this time anyway. Another option for PBSI is to... give a test-run Aprillia vs. Bellaetrix vs. Linda Weni. Aprillia might fail this because Bellaetrix is actually better and deserve to be in the National Team more. :) Febby... well, PBSI need her for the Asian and World Juniors... :p but her long term prospect is dubious...

Lili Siswati... was fired by Pelatnas and PB. Djarum at the same time. She was very not disciplined... not showing up for practice for weeks at a time with no good reason etc. Lius, Christian, and Hadibowo fired her a few months ago.

Lili had a notorious history of disciplinary problems. PB. Jaya Raya didn't want her anymore. PB. Djarum, who knew she was actually very talented, gave her a second chance and invited her in. Djarum polished her to be a very good Junior player, virtually undefeated as a Junior in 2005. Lili-Shendy then qualified to enter the National Team. But... in the end, ...Lili, yet again, dissapointed her teams. I think we can safely say we shall never hear of her again in the badminton scene. :p

Look's like it's going to be quite busy schedule over the next 5-6 mths with quite a number of Satellite, Challenger, and GP Gold Events to choose from.

The list is as follows:
23-27 MAY Vietnam International Challenge 2007
30-02 JUN Cheers Asian Satellite Badminton Championships 2007

03-08 JUL SCG Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold 2007
17-22 JUL Bingo Bonanza Philippine Open 2007

28-01 SEP Indonesia Challenge 2007
04-09 SEP Yonex Sunrise India Open Grand Prix Gold 2007
18-23 SEP Yonex Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold 2007

02-07 OCT Macau Open Grand Prix Gold 2007

06-11 NOV Yonex Sunrise Vietnam Open Grand Prix 2007
21-25 NOV Malaysia Satellite 2007

Incidentally, most of these events are in neighbouring ASEAN countries (Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia), with only 3 events in India, Macau and Taiwan. So, we are likely to see Djarum and the second-team (and juniors) of Pelatnas players in these events.

The first-team is likely to compete only in the remaining 6 Super Series events and probably a couple of GOLD GP to boost their rankings for the Olympics.

Thank's for the info

I'm wrong, I thaught Hayom born in 1989 so still in junior cut off. Looking Djarum sent only Nugroho in Dutch & Germany this year, I believe he is 19 y.o.

I agree that Bellaetrix has better h2h against Aprilia. She was same level with Pia, Sylvinna and now the youngest Maria Febe. Poor her Jaya Raya didn't have money same as Djarum.
In U-15 national circuit, Febby Angguni (born 1991) wasn't look too far compared Maria Febe (born 1990), some time she beat Maria sometime. PBSI didn't know how manage the young players in Pelatnas, she doesn't good progress during trained in Pelatnas.

There's wireless internet at Malaysian players' hotel, so those who brought laptop with them can online.. They're staying at "VICTORY", cuz the official hotel was already full..

What happened to Rendra Wijaya, he still does not have any partner to play with?


Maybe he wanna quit national team and partner Rian again.. :confused::rolleyes:

Oh before i forgot, Arif Latif is meeting Andre Kurniawan Tedjono in round 2 ;)

So why Andre is not playing first round??? Who is he playing?? everyone playing first round and Andre playing Arif Latif in 2nd round??? clarify please...really wanna know Andre's progress

The draw is not even out yet...so we don't know who he's playing. And if he's not playing, he probably gets a "bye" straight into the second round.

Chun Seang is playing against someone called Jonathan from Singpaore in first round.. He dunno about Beryno, and Wei Feng is playing against a qualifiar.. not sure who also.

Monkey said Vietnam is very boring, nothing to do.. not the same hotel as before..

Maria Febe Kusumastuti or otherwise known simply as "Febe" :D
32368

And Dyonisius Hayom Rumbaka or otherwise known simply as "Hayom"
32369

yeah.. and our dear malaysian juniors (aka vietnam veterans *ha) just woke up from taking long naps and are taking dinner now.. maybe will go and explore later???

anfan and other people, mind to take some pics???

hwangkwokhau.. do post the draw in here once you get it, ok? =)

In case..you guys can text her...(84) 903780270 for draw:D:D

Hope Arif Latif can make an upset over the Upcoming Andre.He is a spunky,confident and vibrant up- and- coming player.He has a very good chance to upset the gallant Andre of Indonesia.I wish him all the best.

The finalist of last week's NZ Open, Meliana Jauhari and Shendy Puspa, are also competing at the Vietnam Challenge... :D

32382
We might look like twins/siblings, but we are not! Just sisters in pro-badminton... ;)

Febe, Hayom, Meliana, Shendy..
Djarum, Djarum, Djarum, Djarum..

How old is Hayom??? is he any good???

Hayom is 19 this year. In my humble opinion, he is talented. Complete arsenal, with noteworthy smash & backhand variations...

At this age, he still lacked experience and showed erratic match tactics against tougher opponents... It is hard to figure out his general game-plan... probably because [I think] Hayom himself still couldn't figure out for himself what to do... Typical of young players... Ha ha ha.

Hayom should improve in time. I think by 2009 he can start to be a top 20-30 contender... [I hope I will be proven right in 2 years]

Hayom accomplishments as a Junior in 2006:
Milo International Junior finalist
National Championship semifinalist
World Junior Championship quarterfinalist

i will update picture later

Guycoctu,
Pls update us the result as I may get it by end of the night only.

How come there is no Andre Kurniawan did he lose early in the qualifying or first round????? Anyone??? I am just interested in Andre

Hmm...the interest in such a "small" Challenger tournament is totally unprecedented by badmintoncentral's standard :eek:

Anyway, results should be updated daily via badmintonasia.org

Andre is on #5 at the draw.

A brief glance at the draw indicates that its extremely difficult to win any title here, given the presence of some veterans and seasoned juniors. But again, seeding is out of the order. I won't be surprised if the seeded players/pairs lost in the early round.

Korea is turning up in full force, with Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong looking good to take the title in MD, Kim Min Jung/Ha Jung Eun and Yoo Hyun Young/Jung Kyung Eun in the WD and Choo Gun Woo/Kim Min Jung, Yoo Yeon Seong/Ha Jung Eun in the XD.

By the looks of it ANdre's chance of winning this tournament is very slim.....He will face Roslin in the 3rd round....Well I think Roslin will win the MS title...

erin and i saw chin tze seong coaching.. LMAO!!! later i send it to him.. HAHAHA! he will surely faint..

Any scores, Yannie ?

Fauzi Adnan bt Daren Liew: 25-23, 22-20

Fauzi was leading in both sets, he was leading 19-14 in the first set, then Daren chased back until 20-20. Daren was leading 21-20, 22-21, but couldn't finish it. It was the same in the second game. Fauzi was leading 6-0 at first and then 20-17. Daren chased.. Then Fauzi was leading 21-20, Fauzi nets and Daren taps.. it went wide, only milimeter wide.. Daren felt that he played well, his coach praised him too.. but a lost is a lost. In a match, there'll always be a winner and a loser. He can only wait for revenge..

The others.. I'm not sure.

I am surprise that china seldom sens it splayer to challengers anymore...
I think they should before others catch up China as Men single, now are too competitive, everybody can beat top players now...

Also Sigit and Frans are missing also from this tournaments...

Wow Daren! Way to go man!
Yeah..must beat him next time! Daren rocks!
I know how much he wants to win this :o
But still..he didn't give up! Jia you Daren!
Me & Yannie help u grill 'him' ok? :p

Hmm...the interest in such a "small" Challenger tournament is totally unprecedented by badmintoncentral's standard :eek:

Anyway, results should be updated daily via badmintonasia.org
..actually, it's not really "small" if there are a bunch of INA and MAS players joining this tourney;)...And I think we can somehow "put the blame" partially on the absence of a significant event(ie. GP, SS) until the SC and partially on the "advent" of INA semi-hyped "new rising son" in the form of Andre K.T.:p:D;):cool:
The next week or so, BC could be even slower..:p;)

7 seeded MS players are gone

Vietnam: Results May 23rd

Pls watch the Tv stream..andre is playing now

Andre vs yuichi: 16-10 first set

Andre closed first set 21-15

The way Andre smashed, remind me a bit of hariyanto arbi

I am surprised that not many BC here watching free Live TV...

Andre vs Yuichi: 9-7 in 2nd set

Fang Kai Xiang is giving Andre some instruction during interval...Japanese's footwork is pretty good and Andre had to work harder 11-10 for Andre

Andre lost second set to Yuichi 20-22 despite leading ..he made too many unforce errors...

Ikeda Yuchi is really the future of Japanese MS...he is unbelievable...he covers the court really well...not easy for Andre..5-3 for andre

Andre is rushing too much to the net...at least he made 4 errors on the net.

8 all for andre and yuichi

Andre's netting is awful tonight..at least he failed in 5 or 6 occasions.

Andre Kurniawan def Ikeda yuichi 21-15,20-22,21-19
Andre is a bit lucky as he escaped narrowly from defeat. His net and drop are not working well tonight...despite leading 17-14 in 3rd set, again either netting or smashes are too long to enable Yuichi to level 19-19 then Yuichi made too easy mistake.

I think Ikeda yuichi will be future of japanese MS.

Tamongsak (Thai) def Phuong Nam: 21-15, 21-18

Julia wong vs Pia...will be interesting match to watch

4-1 for julia...to many mistakes from Pia in the first 4 points...poor anticipation and long shot

7-4 for Julia....better control from Pia's side

11-10 for Pai...Pia is rallying and dropping the shuttle well.Julia failed picking up the shuttle .

Pia took 1st set from Julia 21-13.
Pia is in control as Julia could not anticipate dropshots .

Too bad there is no live naymore...so I will not know who is the winner Pia or Julia

any more update..... why everyone so quiet

any more update..... why everyone so quiet

No Live on TV....gotta wait 4.30 am at LA time...I am so surprised that nobody is watching thru Internet TV....so shocking!!!:eek::eek:

You have to see the way he played....the japanese is pretty good and I think Andre is a bit tired....there is no way that Andre can bet everybody in straight sets.....pretty lucky that he won this time...may be he will fare better toniht against Roslin.

Which other results? I know only MAS results.. I dunno why China didn't send their juniors..

Which other results? I know only MAS results.. I dunno why China didn't send their juniors..

Just wondering some INA WS and MS Japanese.

I don't think INA or MAS is going to win MD, WD or XD. Korean pairs should rule in these events unless there's a miracle of course :D

Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong should win the title here.

China only sends its junior players to the Asian Junior and World Junior Championships.

I don't think INA or MAS is going to win MD, WD or XD. Korean pairs should rule in these events unless there's a miracle of course :D

Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong should win the title here.

I expect INA will take WD...for XD is 50-50...

Which other results? I know only MAS results.. I dunno why China didn't send their juniors..What an avid mj supporter?It's high time for Chun Seang and gang to produce results.Best wishes for all mj's that are still in contention.A big hooray for CKB.Hope he will create more upsets.

Unlikely...unless Meiliana/Shendy can upset Kim Min Jung/Ha Jung Eun tomorrow. My take is on the KOR pair to take the title.

Sorry for calling Andre stupid...but u see he can't win against Roslin playing like this....I hope he wins this one....anyone give me info bout Ari Wahyu please...

Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto... simply called "Wahyu" by most people. Age: around 21. He was part of the INA Juniors who were sent to compete at the 2004 World Junior Championship, along with Rijal-Gresya etc. Left Pelatnas in late 2005, I think. He returned to practice again with PB. Djarum, the club he grew up in. He is Andre Kurniawan's roommate.

Wahyu is a talented fellow! I saw him stretch Boonsak to rubber games in a beautifully played tight match, 2 weeks ago at the Indonesian Open round of 32. Lots of attractive rallies. :cool:

Wahyu does not appear physically as fit and as strong as Andre. And his will to win is not apparent [unlike Andre who shouts and pumps himself up]... :p My friends and I tend to think Wahyu is more talented than Andre, judging from his shot making ability and intelligent tactics. But without that inner thirst to achieve big things, his future is still doubtful... :o

Hi Krisna,

Could you find out other WS result? as well as WD INA?

I only don't know the Melicia Kurniawan situation... :confused: My friends were not paying attention to her...:p

Gosh, that person who is responsible for posting all the results at BAC website: RESULTS - ROBOT_VIE_Draw_23th_May_2007.xls ought to be shot! What's the used to featuring an event on the website, but no updates.

At least supporters like Hau-ge, yannie etc etc gets their desire results and have a good night sleep after that, and awakens tomolo looking forward to the q/finals matches. :p :p ;)

yeah, hahaha, the results updates are too slow .... hopefully the guys on the forum will help us out.

can someone please post the matches to be played tomorrow?

Actually, the organizer, Ngoc lien sends the result every morning to badmintonasia.org...she told me that last 2 nights lasted quite late so she could not update it right away...

Wow..Yulianti/Richi beat Korean WD? wow...

Badmania should hear about this!!

Bambang/Trikus beat 3/4 seed from HKG...the old cracks still have teeth to beat the young ones.

Krisna do you think Hayom is a confident chap?? I mean as confident as Andre??? Wahyu is hopeless now...he is 21 too old to be at this level.....Hayom I am confident He will be ok.....If Hayom, Andre and Wahyu aling with Alamsyah can improve....then after the Chen Jin Chen YU era is these guys turn to prosper.

yeah, hahaha, the results updates are too slow .... hopefully the guys on the forum will help us out.

I think we will see:
Andre vs. Roslin [MAS]
Wahyu vs. Tanongsak Sainsomboonsuk [THA]
Hayom vs. Hoang Hai Nguyen [VIE]
Alamsyah vs. Tien Minh Nguyen [VIE]
Adnan vs. ...er don't know...

Pia vs. Megumi Taruno [JPN]
Febe vs. Jun Jae Yun [KOR]
Fira vs. Ng Ka Shun [HKG]
Pipin vs. Soratja [THA] ...I think...

Uhhmm... I suspect: Hayom's mindset is still not mature yet. He sometimes would just 'blank' in his matchplay... :p I think Hayom is confident against most people, but not against all players... :p

Hayom shall have a brighter future than Wahyu. Although... I don't think he can win against Wahyu in case they meet tomorrow night at the Vietnam Challenge quarterfinals [a possibility, given the MS draw]...

Wow..Yulianti/Richi beat Korean WD? wow...

Badmania should hear about this!!

Yup, Yulianti-Richi beat the 2nd seed from Korea... :D

I think we will see:
Andre vs. Roslin [MAS]
Wahyu vs. Tanongsak Sainsomboonsuk [THA]
Hayom vs. Hoang Hai Nguyen [VIE]
Alamsyah vs. Tien Minh Nguyen [VIE]
Adnan vs. ...er don't know...

Pia vs. Megumi Taruno [JPN]
Febe vs. Jun Jae Yun [KOR]
Fira vs. Ng Ka Shun [HKG]
Pipin vs. Soratja [THA] ...I think...

thanks, looks like some good games tomorrow ...

Fauzi will play Teo kok Siang on 16 round...good chance for Fauzi...he has not performed that well before

Yup, Yulianti-Richi beat the 2nd seed from Korea... :D

The second seed is a junior pair. Kim Min Jung/Ha Jung Eun are the more senior of the two Korean pairs. I still stick to my prediction that they will win the title.
