It seems that we will not know the result of the qualifying round tonight.:crying:

My friend told me that for the qualifiers today, only Kennevic Asunction won in his Men's Singles qualifier for the Philippines, and Jaime Junio/Irene Chiu won in their opening game Mixed. All the rest supposedly lost. So go to...

http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=16056

...and you can figure out who won. It should be something like this:

MS
Kwong Beng Chan MAL bt Roden Rivera PH
Yu Hsin Hsieh TPE bt Lloyd Escoses PH
Wisnu Haryo Putro INO bt John Robert Ner PH
Weijie Gong CH bt Andrei Babad PH
Thomas Heiniger DN bt Alfred Mailon PH
Tommy Sugiarto INO bt Ian Mendez PH
Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka bt Paul Vivas PH
Kennevic Asuncion PH bt Wan Ho Park KO
Adnan Fauzi INO bt Ronel Estansiao PH
Hsuan yi Hsueh TP bt Kevin Panganiban PH
Rohan Castelino IND bt Jobert Co PH
Shinta Mulia Sari MA bt Karyn Velez PH
Aditi Mutatkar IND bt Iren Chiu
Thomas Heiniger DN bt Owen Lopez PH
Donovan Cuntapay DN bt Bryan Chan PH

[CYW2006]

seems like the website havent update since 14 july....

[ants]

Nope.. there were no internet connections at the venue. Hardly any press pll around. And many players withdraws today.

[Krisna]

I heard Maria Elfira defeated her Korean opponent in the first match...

[ants]

Yeah she played very well.

[narnia]

Would u guys share TV schedule for SF and F? Prefer CCTV-5 or GDTV on internet. Thanks! :)

[kevinboy]

I know that CCTV5 will show the semi finals and finals

[huangkwokhau]

I heard Maria Elfira defeated her Korean opponent in the first match...
Great that she beat Jang Soo Young...thats sweet...but her opponent in quali final is Zhu jing jing..hope she passed...

[kevinboy]

How about Zhou Mi?

[Krisna]

They might not update their tournamentsoftware site, but I am 99% sure Zhou Mi will play in the main draw tomorrow. She's too good for anyone in the qualifying stage...

I agree with you :)

[Krisna]

I agree with you :)

So we can go to sleep now... I am too tired in waiting for the results to appear.... Aarrrgggh, those guys are too slow...

[fastdrop]

Nope.. there were no internet connections at the venue. Hardly any press pll around. And many players withdraws today.

Were you wearing a white shirt and carrying a black brief bag yesterday at the venue?

[huangkwokhau]

Were you wearing a white shirt and carrying a black brief bag yesterday at the venue?
Do you have any update of the results??

[ants]

Were you wearing a white shirt and carrying a black brief bag yesterday at the venue?


Yes. I'm wearing a white shirt and carrying a black brief bag.

[ants]

The results won't be online until tomorrow (today) morning. I forgot to take the results with me. Yes Zhou Mi advances to the main draw. She was smiling all the way when playing against India.

[huangkwokhau]

Did she ebat INA WS? whom she ebat in qualifying final? any INA WS and MS advance?

[ants]

Local Malaysian boy Chan Kwong Beng beat Kendrick from Singapore earlier just now.

[ixory]

[anfan2000]

Thank you very much. could you please update other result?
I'm interesting the match Tien Minh Nguyen [VIE] - [GER] Bjoern Joppien.
thanks for yous support.

[ricksakti]

Ding...dong...ding...dong... no internet connection, the manila cybercafe is hiden flooded with virus and worms....hehehehhe

[kevinboy]

Thanks for your update:)

Can't they make a phone call to the badminton association office and send the result to the tournamentsoftware?:confused:

[jbchiong]

It looks like this will be a boring day. :( :( :(

[Inky2000]

It looks like this will be a boring day. :( :( :(

From the bright side - less distraction from my office work.

[ants]

The results is updated in www.philippineopenbadminton.com

[CLELY]

And also, finally we can find today's result in tournament software! Why the organizer too slowly to update??

[CLELY]

It will be a long day for MS division when they must play 2 times in one day, morning and night session. No big upset so far unless Kendrick Lee defeated by Kwong Beng Chan with 20-22 ; 15-21.

[jug8man]

Ding...dong...ding...dong... no internet connection, the manila cybercafe is hiden flooded with virus and worms....hehehehhe

U make it sound like you have something to do with it (infested with virus & worms)

hehehe

[Krisna]

tournamentsoftware now updates every several hours... Good!

Taufik Hidayat won!
Alamsyah Yunus lost to Andrew Dabeka of Canada?!? That is just embarrasing...
Ari Yuli Wahyu won!

Next INA MS to play:
Sony
Andre
Hayom
Wisnu
Tommy
Andreas

Hey, INA has quite a lot of players in MS eh?!?

[ixory]

yeah..finally tournament software being updated,fuh...

[huangkwokhau]

Pls tell me how come Wenny lost to Maria Elfira but Wenny got promoted, not Maria??? does it make sense??

[Krisna]

Pls tell me how come Wenny lost to Maria Elfira but Wenny got promoted, not Maria??? does it make sense??

Whooo, I thought Wenny lost and that's it...

I can imagine Wenny got promoted if a competitor decides to withdraw and Wenny's ranking is pretty high so she should get priority... And Xu Huawen, Pi Hongyan, Tracey Hallam, and I heard Wong Mew Choo pulled out... But this all can happen if Wenny have not lost...

But if Wenny have lost.... er.... she should just be ... out... :confused:

[huangkwokhau]

But if Wenny have lost.... er.... she should just be ... out... :confused:

Actually Maria should get it .....so strange.:eek::eek:...she had to play 3 matches....her competitor played less....

[kevinboy]

Seed 1 Pi and Seed 2 Xu withdrew:crying:

[kevinboy]

Why Pia Zebadiah Bernadet (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=16056&player=136) can enter the main draw of WS? She lost her match and she is not seeded player? WHY?

[huangkwokhau]

Why Pia Zebadiah Bernadet (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=16056&player=136) can enter the main draw of WS? She lost her match and she is not seeded player? WHY?
Pia won...she did not lose..thats why she is in main draw but maria won over Wenny and Wenny got to main draw...:confused::confused::confused:

[Krisna]

Maria Eflira's World Ranking is pretty terrible... Her INA ranking is much better...

[Krisna]

Seed 1 Pi and Seed 2 Xu withdrew:crying:

I think Zhou Mi will win it all this time....;) I just hope Maria Kristin can do well... Maybe semifinals... [I hope] :D

[Krisna]

But Maria Kristin have to pass Xing Aiying, Juliane Schenk, and Yip Pui Yin to get to the semis... where she might face Zhou Mi...

[madbad]

Wow, with all the withdrawals, especially of the higher ranked players, this tournament is degenerating before our eyes. I hope the Filipino public continue to support it though as this is crucial for keeping the tournament on the calendar for them.

[kevinboy]

Pia won...she did not lose..thats why she is in main draw but maria won over Wenny and Wenny got to main draw...:confused::confused::confused:

Pia won? Then why Wang Yihan is also in the main draw?:confused::confused:

[huangkwokhau]

Pia won? Then why Wang Yihan is also in the main draw?:confused::confused:

Wang did not play Pia....Pia won over Huang Chia Shin.....

[hcyong]

This is all pretty strange. My best guess is that 4 players withdrew from the main draw, so they promoted 4 from the qualifiers. Yonekura is the highest seeded qualifier, Wenny second (even though she played a match), third-seed did not show up, fourth-seed was Kim Moon Hi.

But how did they decide on Pia?

[madbad]

The spate of withdrawals resulted in the draw being thrown into chaos. Because of a whole bunch of rejigging, many matches have changed. That'll probably result in a large number of PAWs being invalid too.

That's what I think!:)

[bic33]

players should have a fine if they withdraw 1 day before the competition... in dota, we call them 'leavers!'

[orchiid]

it was Kuan Beng Hong vs Chen Hong round1 in the draw when i saw days before, but Chen beat Ajay Jayaram (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=16056&player=59) now, is Kuan still fall ill or im dazed？

Beng Hong withdrew, as Malasyian paper The Star reported today. He probably didn't even fly to Manila in the first place.

Kuan, WCH and Roslin pulled out of Philipines Open due to injuries/illness/etc... I think they wanna reserve energy for WC07

[huangkwokhau]

[yannie]

[KlasseE]

Pi Hongyan
Xu Huawen
Wong Mew Choo [I heard]
Tracey Hallam

[Krisna]

Sony, Andre and Tommy through...

Andreas, Hayom, and Wisnu got defeated...

Ok, then INA still has 5 MS in the next round tomorrow...
Taufik will play Nguyen
Ari Yuli will play Lee Tsuen Seng
Sony will play Andre... oh well...
Tommy will play Lee Chong Wei...

[cyipee]

no livescore....no update from tournamentsoftware......y?

[CYW2006]

pls take note on the update time.....
6:15AM today....
haha...
ridiculous

[thiery]

philippine open is by far the worst....slow updates, no livescore, and so many good players withrew in the last minute? i wonder why....they all complained of illness, injury or fatique but i kinda doubt that.

sad, sad....

[KlasseE]

results WS just updated here
https://www.clubsonline.com.au/console/customitem/attachments/WS%20Results%20Philippines%20Open%202007%20Jul%201 8.xls

[jbchiong]

But the top three seeds in women’s singles – Xu Huaiwen of Germany, France’s Pi Hongyan and Malaysian Mew Choo Wong – pulled out on the eve of the $120,000 event, somehow taking the luster off their side of the championship.

Xu, the world No. 5, sustained an injury while playing in last week’s China Masters while Pi, the world No. 6 who arrived Sunday with the French team, was running a fever. The third-seeded and No. 11 Wong also cited injury for withdrawing from the tournament sponsored by Bingo Bonanza Corp. for the second straight year.

[hcyong]

Just do it the old-fashioned way. Find out the results the next morning.

[jbchiong]

[yannie]

but he jz said tat the result has been updated to tournament software..:confused:

nope.. he meant results from earlier i think.. they didn't update yet.. so slow.. SNAIL!!!!!!!!! phil open zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[nwy5633]

i think koo/tan opponent todays , boe/morgensen is quite gud players..
they make it to the 2nd round of china masters from qualifying & get beaten by cai yun/fu hai feng 21-19,21-15...
tan bin shen/ong soon hock only get 9-21,15-21 when play CY/FHF...

it's unwise to compare like that. if do so, it also means that CY/FHF are better than KKK/TBH since CY/FHF beat the danish pair in 2 sets.

[Dreamzz]

the young danish pair are very good players, we just haven't seen them around too much recently because of morgensen's injury. they're supposed to be the ones to take over from ML/JE.

[huangkwokhau]

This is very bad tournament....still no result....I have complained to them yesterday..I think ANTs should complain to organizer on our behalf ( fanatics BCers plus we have PAWs to play......hehe)

[Dreamzz]

i think ants so step out of the stadium every hour for a coffee, cause he needs the break .... oh and also to post some results for us.

:)

[johnps]

nope.. he meant results from earlier i think.. they didn't update yet.. so slow.. SNAIL!!!!!!!!! phil open zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Actually they have about 3 to 4 hours of delay in the matches. Not too sure if already caught up. That's why the MS 2nd round has been postponed to tomorrow morning.

[huangkwokhau]

They should have...other GP Gold tournament...if they play all 64 MS then XD or WD will be played twice on 2 nd day like Thai.

[bic33]

yeah, but i wouldn't say that it's a snail's pace.... this year's PO has just so much qualifiers in it.. also, there were many 'leavers' (withdrawals lol)... making many problems of whom to promote to the first round... 2nd round matches were postponed... bcause it's already late and bad for the players to stay up too late and play early next morning...

sheeshh.. the target friday as quarterfinals is just a difficult one... they assumed that the qualifying and the first and second round could be done in just two days...

[huangkwokhau]

Where is Fastdrop??? he should have PM or SMS us for results

[bic33]

i wish i could help you guys... i only have tickets for the semi's and finals...
i didn't buy from 1st round to quarters because they told me the premier seats are sold out...:(

[ixory]

aikss...still no update result,sigh...sigh,i tot TO is bad but PO more worst...

[yannie]

whatever..
at least it should be like thailand open.. update the results after every match..
this simply sucks..
like this morning they didn't even have yesterday's results.. what the heck..

[bic33]

nope... TO was worse in its second year... didn't even have any updates... lol
anyhow, we can just wish for improvements...

[KlasseE]

finally they updated the results
http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=16056&day=129545

[bic33]

same on the PO website... finally..shheessh...

[Krisna]

Luluk-Alvent and Rian-Yoke are through to the next round...:D :D
Joko-Hendra and Sigit-Fran did not make it... sad sad... :crying::crying:

[Krisna]

Sigit-Fran lost 21-16, 19-21, 20-22 to Abdul Latif-Chan Peng Soon... heartbreaking loss... I think Sigit is just too old... his knees are not working well...

[Krisna]

Lili-Vita vs. Meliana-Shendy tomorrow... Tangkas' best WD vs. Djarum's best WD... I think Lili-Vita should win in straight sets...

[ixory]

Thanks klasseE ,Wow..Mohd Razif Abdul latif/Peng Soon Can win over Fran/ Sigit,16-21,21-19,22-20...this is an upset...

[badMania]

Once again, Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto have produced a good result in beating Gan Teik Chai/Lin Woon Fui today. Their next opponent is the Thai pair Tesana Panvisvas/Songphon Anukritayawon, a match that is also winnable. As I said before in the China Masters thread, a quarter-final placement here will be a good result, considering their opponent is likely to be Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya. Tony/Candra will play against Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo probably for the 3rd times in as many months (with previous matches in the SG and INA SS)

On the other hand, Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi once again are inconsistent as they were beaten by Han Sang Hoon/Cho Gun Woo in rubber sets :cool:

The new Djarum pair Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki also won in rubber-sets over Stuart Brehaut/Aji Basuki Sindoro. They face a tricky tie against Chew Choon Eng/Hong Chieng Hun tomorrow.

The newly crowned China Masters champion, Lilyana Natsir/Vita Marissa played an easier opponent in Li Li/Xing Aiying today and were hardly troubled in their match. They will play the Djarum pair Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa for a place in the quarter-final. The real matches will begin then...with possible matches against Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing and Yang Wei/Zhao Tingting.

It will be atrocious if INA were NOT to win the XD, with the withdrawal of Zhang Jun/Zhao Tingting. All the Pelatnas pairs, except for Anggun Nugroho/Nitya Krishinda have won their first round matches. Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir will face a tricky tie against Kristoff Hopp/Birgit Overzier; Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa should also triumph against Hui Wai Ho/Koon Wai Chee Louisa; Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii will take on Fang Chieh Min/Cheng Wen-Hsing; while Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita probably have the toughest tie against Keita Masuda/Miyuki Maeda.

[KlasseE]

today's shortest match, natsir/marissa > lili aiying xing just in 17 min

[fastdrop]

Where is Fastdrop??? he should have PM or SMS us for results

I watched the games the whole day today. Its almost midnight and the women's double is not yet over. I saw Ants in the venue and I supposed he is making all the updates. I think the schedules are in complete chaos due to withdrawals by some players affecting all the existing schedules. Too many matches and there are only 4 courts. Some matches require 3rd sets. The game started on time and I did not see any idle court. There were just too many matches. Hopefully the schedule tomorrow will not be as hectic.:o

I will try my best. There are only 1 score board on each side of the court. It's hard to move around. If there is a ready printed schedule of matches then it will be a lot easier. Anyways, I will still try. No promises:o
