Philippines Open 2007 - July 22 - Finals

[samuel882]

Can someone tell me is MAS winning because of their speed game or attack game or all-round game?
The normal gamestyle wich bring them glory in the past... Fast.. Furious..
Accurate smashes... solid defenses!

[Tjun Tjun]

Mas v China
1-0
1-1
1-2

[Louisa]

Mas:chn
1:0
1:2
1:3
2:3

[madbad]

Can't understand how Guo/Xie could play so well to get to the final and then choke so badly. Let's hope for a better 2nd game.

[soleha]

2-nd game..

chn/mas

2:3

[qwertyu]

Can someone tell me is MAS winning because of their speed game or attack game or all-round game?

Who bothers? As long as they won!

[Louisa]

Fuyoh smash by TBH makes it 4:4

[orchiid]

can't wait to see TBH/KKK in WC~wow~

[baldybodhi]

Tjun Tjun, how about your break?
thx for keep updating..:)

[baldybodhi]

cant wait to see them vs fu/cai..
so taugh huh?..

[Tjun Tjun]

Chinese gaining momentum 9-4, 10-4 now....:eek::eek::eek:

[madbad]

Who bothers? As long as they won!

It matters a lot because if they don't have their "A" game together, they'll never beat Fu/Cai. This is a good test for them to try out stuff they have been practicing and do some fine tuning. Also will boost their confidence that their game is back.

[Louisa]

opposite scenario of game 1, MAS down 4:11 to CHN

[Tjun Tjun]

11-4, 7 straight points for Chinese...... exciting rally for the last point......

[madbad]

Hehehe, looks like the CHN pair has woken up. Let's see how KKK/TBH react.

[baldybodhi]

what happened Louisa?

[Dreamzz]

damn gdtv have switched to football now.

[baldybodhi]

i hope better game for 2nd set

[soleha]

ouch...

mas/chn

7:14

[baldybodhi]

ignore me..i'm just minority in here..:(

[Tjun Tjun]

Malaysians trying to climb back 7-13, now 7-14......

[qwertyu]

Are they trying out new strategy here?

[Inky2000]

Hehehe, looks like the CHN pair has woken up. Let's see how KKK/TBH react.

Hard to say. Remember KKK/TBH used to "toy" CY/FHF and JE/MLH at the 2nd set during Sweden SS by practicing defence and eventually lost the set, and then they suddenly finished off the 3rd set in no time?

[madbad]

ignore me..i'm just minority in here..:(

There's no minority mate. Everyone's welcome :)

[baldybodhi]

i hope it ended soon..
i just wanna make an article..

[soleha]

mas/chn

10:19

what happen?over confident??please come back kkk/tbh!!!

[baldybodhi]

i hope it endd soon..:(

[Louisa]

19:12 to China, MAS is dreaming

[baldybodhi]

rubber set...but not interesting at all

[baldybodhi]

Mas doesnt wake up at all?

[madbad]

Good, it looks like it's going to a rubber. Hopefully it'll be a close 3rd game instead of a blowout

[huangkwokhau]

Wow..INA XD won! Great...I felt sleep,....

[wynn000]

wat is the score now??

[Ashxavier]

excellent 20 -20

9 points behind... now even..!


MAs- chn 21-20!!!

[madbad]

[wynn000]

[soleha]

wow!!!

21:20

[wynn000]

[baldybodhi]

Huangkwokhau where are u?..
we're all looking fr your comment here..

[thiery]

KKK/TBH are practising how to make come back and how to succumb to pressure when opponents are having match point.

[soleha]

oh no!!

21:21

so unbelievable!!

[Ashxavier]

21-21 !!! omg...

[tutu_h]

my goodness. my god man.

[baldybodhi]

[wynn000]

nervous now. . .. . ..

[Ashxavier]

mas-chn 22-21 excellent defence by ZB.. but.. oh well

[baldybodhi]

so...'baka'..at least it'll ended soon..

[baldybodhi]

well hurry up..finished them!!

[tutu_h]

yeah lah, i need rest too after hrs of watching....come on finish it

[Ashxavier]

22-22 !! another wrong line judgement by mas pair..

23-22 to CHn pair.. KK not happy with line call.

[baldybodhi]

[soleha]

mas/chn
22:23

[wynn000]

OoooOOoo so close ...

[madbad]

Well, at least there's some excitement for the crowd

[Ashxavier]

A nice cross court return serve... 23 all.

24-23 to mas pair!

[wynn000]

at least they fight back from 10 -19 to 20-20

[Ashxavier]

Arggh 24 all... return serve out by Mas pair...

[Ashxavier]

25-24.. mas pair.. this is crazy :O

[baldybodhi]

OMG chn will not give up easily...

[Tjun Tjun]

0-5 for LYB :eek::eek::eek:............................26-24......

[baldybodhi]

so nerveous...both of them..:)

[Ashxavier]

ahhahahahah.. good ness Mas won!! 26-24!!! what a come back!!!

[Ethan]

Wow... I thought it was some joke, since it was not by Tjun Tjun or Louisa

[wynn000]

[soleha]

they deserve it!!

21:8,26:24

I love them!!! Malaysia Boleh!!!

[thiery]

bloody bloody match and comeback.

[wynn000]

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to malaysia today 2 champion

[Ethan]

absolute stunner !! Is it real ? 21-8,26-24 ?

[Louisa]

Huuuuuuuuuu, finally, KKK/TBH grap it after 4 match points...sorry ya, no live score, the crowd screaming is really catching me...most important thing is, MAS deny CHN the last hope in PO...

[phaarix]

That's a much better showing from KKK/TBH :). Good luck to them in World Champs, I think Fu/Cai probably still playing better than them but at least they show that they've got a chance!

[baldybodhi]

chn figthing back but it's too late..
congrats for koo/tan..

[sickgal]

many congrats to MALAYSIAN MD N MS

[madbad]

KKK/TBH cannot afford to win like that. Against a better pair, they would have lost the 2nd game a long time ago and who knows how that'd affect them in the 3rd. Still a lot of tightening up to do. Anyway, they did win which puts them back on the saddle.

[tutu_h]

thanks to those u posted the live score. really appreciated ur job. Danke Schoen

[sherlyn]

Yay... 2 titles for MAS!! :D
Congratz to LCW and KKK/TBH!!

[Tjun Tjun]

I just love TTTTTTTTTTTTTBBBBBBBBBHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......:D:D:D

[Ashxavier]

Yeah.. i thought they were playing for decider... but they prolly think.. heck i want to celebrate early.. and raise 2 gears up!!

[baldybodhi]

CHn Go Home with EMpty HAndded!!!
HOHoHo..
Cant Wait to see LI YB raection for this..:)

[sickgal]

Now now, let's not drag this LYB thing out of the closet again. I think we've beaten this topic to death already

[tutu_h]

now is time to wait for the videos......

[Ashxavier]

Hmm i wonder if LCW and the pair peaked a bit too early... WC coming up hope they don't get so complecent after this win... but congrats!!

No sweat! LCW won, KKK/TBH won and Butet won...... what more can we ask........

I posted a speculation earlier and someone else echoed my view but most of you guys might have overlooked it. Like what happened during Sweden SS when they played against CY/FHF and JE/MLH, they took 1st set, played defensive game in 2nd set as a practice (i.e., they turned the set to their practice game and treated their opponents as their spars) and eventually lost the set, and then they sealed up the rubber in no time. It looks like they are doing the same again.

I think they peak at the right time. Now it is time for consolidation

[Tjun Tjun]

To come back 9 points behind in doubles is simply amazing ....... got hope for KKK/TBH in 2007WC........

Yes but it's a little risky. Sooner or later it's going to backfire. Best to take a professional approach to winning a match.

[nwy5633]

i can say tat our LCW & KKK/TBH is ready for action in WC final next!

you are right, second set could well be their practice to find out how to tacker the opponents offense as well as to train their defense. in this case, the next time they play the same opponents again, they know how to handle the situation.

just my personal point of view

[madbad]

:D:D:D, u r welcome...probably i will shift my pc to the living room so that i can improve my live scoring service, hahaha

Next time I see you on BCF, I will try to incorporate the word "fuyoh" in a sentence to impress you :D:D

[qwertyu]

i can say tat our LCW & KKK/TBH is ready for action in WC final next!

it is good to win the tournament bf wc as it will boost their confidence, though this po is poorly attended by the top guns

[Jessica]

What an amazing showdown by the two pairs but all my credit give to TBH/KKK...Their mental strength are really make me feel happy,they managed to come back in such a situation in the second game when their opponet only need two marks to close the game.I am glad that today they face some difficulties because this will sharpen them in the coming WC.If they continue with such mental strength,they definetely can shine in the WC.Today,the confidence KKK/TBH have come back.

[tutu_h]

To come back 9 points behind in doubles is simply amazing ....... got hope for KKK/TBH in 2007WC........

LCW made the history once by making a come back from 13-19 to beat LD was already a tough job. now they created another history by making a come back from 10-19 down.

[ixory]

Ye..ye.ye..ye LCW win!!!!!!
Ye..ye...ye...KKK/TBH win!!!!!!!!!!!
ye.ye CHINA going home empty handed!!!!!!!!Opsssss...:p:D
wat a game so thriling.....
KKK/TBH play well today in 1st set, in 2nd game is more interesting left by 10-19 then crawling back until they win 26-24,wat a games.....
YIPPPIE!!!!!!!

[Inky2000]

We discussed this "strategy" on this forum before. Apparently, they didn't do that during All England because it's the most prestiguous SS which they hope to win. For Sweden SS, they could relax a bit and even if it was backfired, they had been through valuable practise sessions which would benefit them in long term. PO is not even a SS, so once they've confirmed to regain their World No.2 status, they could risk missing the title by "resuming" their "practice" in the tournament (especially a good chance to practice their mentality in crawling back from a huge gap). Of course they won't do that during WC.

Perhaps they this time they r testing their own mental strength instead? Anyway, after this tournament they should hv loads of confidence in WC.

I wouldn't say it really tested out their mental strength..it's more to that they were lucky enough to get away with some sloppy team work. A few times in the end they fumble through and barely get the shuttle over. If it was a better pair.. It would've been a decider match.. and well 3rd match.. we won't know :o

Still, credits to them and someone mention earlier they really need to buckle up a bit more in preparation to meet the top pairs at WC.

[Chu Liuxiang]

Not 13-19, but 13-20.

[tutu_h]

Not 13-19, but 13-20.

thanks for the correction. :)

btw. i supposed u r referring to LD vs LCW match, arn't u?

Seem KKK/TBH played like CHINA player,finger signal when they gonna serve...

Yes, 2006 Mas Open MS final between LD vs LCW .

[Darien]

KKK/TBH still shaky a bit compare to their previous successed tournaments...overall performance in PO is much better than INA and Sin Open. BUT, still not good enough to beat CY/FHF yet...

[sickgal]

now is time to wait for the videos......

i'm waitin too..:D:D:D:D wonder astro will repeat this final or not..;)

[Carbonexer]

Going to get a dozen of beer now. Celebrating for 2 good deserving reasons that I couldn't asked for more.

1) Malaysia MS & MD won.
2) LYB and all the china gang lost.

[Louisa]

Perhaps the word "Wacha" can be used as well? :D:D:D

[tutu_h]

i'm waitin too..:D:D:D:D wonder astro will repeat this final or not..;)

astro maybe, but nvr expect anything from RTM. they will only show u the introduction and when it comes to playing, they will switch to Berita or something else. u know what i mean, don't u? :D:D:D

[jasonmarc]

Yes, they showed improvement a lot,..but they still need to bring up their game to a higher level:rolleyes:...if they were competing with CY/FHF....;)...its a good show they put on after a long-long drop in form.....hope they would keep training hard....be prepared for the real challenge in WC07....Go for it KKK/TBH......:D:D:D Congratulation....:)

Ya...i agree with you...They have improved from what they display in the few tournaments recently but they are still not so fit like when they won the All England but i am glad that there are room of improvement.If this is FHF/CY,they will not take down the second set.WC is around the corner and hope they will put more effort because they are talented and should not waste it.

15(-1) Sakamoto/Ikeda

GZD/XZB, now ranked 47th, will move up to somewhere between 29th to 32nd.

[Jessica]

Another thing i feel happy with KKK/TBH win is this time they win without Rexy guidence.They should exposed moew to this kind of situation because they over depending on their coach in their previous game.They will turn behind and look at rexy whenever they face problems.This is very good to let them learn how to become independent and try to solve the problem themselves.

no matter how, LCW will be seeded 2nd for the coming WC for sure since CH is no longer in National team and he is not allowed to participate in the world championship unless LYB gives him the golden key. am i right to say that?

[liango]

Anyone got record down last match MD, KKK and TBH?
Please upload to YouTube. Thanks in advance.

[yannie]

OMG!!! All mainlanders lost! CRY!

Still, credits to them and someone mention earlier they really need to buckle up a bit more in preparation to meet the top pairs at WC.

I made this speculation because they have apparently done so during Swiss SS in last March (sorry, not Sweden SS as I mentioned before). They did so in 2consecutive matches - beat CY/FHF in qf, then CW/TG in sf (CW/TG's form was better than now). In particular, the sf match's scoreline looks very convincing as an evidence of our speculation - 23-21, 13-21, 21-7. The qf match's scoreline was 21-16, 11-21, 21-13. Those who have watched the 3 matches could still remember that KKK/TBH played 100% defensively in set 2's and then 100% aggressively in set 3's. When they played defensively in those 2nd sets, the way they played looked very similar to what you have described their 2nd set today.

[Tjun Tjun]

I could see that KKK/TBH communicating and supporting each other during the match.... touching partner's shoulder offering encouragement, etc.....all these were missing in their last few tournaments. Bravo, KKK/TBH :).

[Darien]

Another thing i feel happy with KKK/TBH win is this time they win without Rexy guidence.They should exposed moew to this kind of situation because they over depending on their coach in their previous game.They will turn behind and look at rexy whenever they face problems.This is very good to let them learn how to become independent and try to solve the problem themselves.

that's correct...the first time i am seeing they were playing without Rexy guidence and winning a tournament...a good sign anyway...

[badMania]

Finally, a long-awaited first title of the year for Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir, their last title being the Invitational World Cup last Oct. Hopefully, this improves their confidence. They will be the second seed at the WC next month and will avoid Zheng Bo/Gao Ling at least until the Final. They will meet either Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen or Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms in the Semi-Final.

Meanwhile, Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa will be among the top 8 seeds. Hopefully, they are kept apart from Nova/Butet.

[haifeng4ever]

that's correct...the first time i am seeing they were playing without Rexy guidence and winning a tournament...a good sign anyway...
Both of them are trying to be independent. :D:D:D

[spchu]

Their comeback from being 19-10 down should also be congratulated, Here's hoping that they can keep the momentum going.

[badMania]

Lee Chong Wei is in supreme form at the moment, winning the Indonesia and Philippines Open. I think only a top form Lin Dan will be able to beat him at the WC this year. But then again, home advantage could work against Lee :cool:

[george@chongwei]

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!! congrats to LCW and doubles pair KKK/TBH for winning d Philippines open... NEXT UP... THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE HELD IN KUALA LUMPUR... HOPE THEY CAN WIN..... BEST LUCK TO THEM

[Darien]

Their comeback from being 19-10 down should also be congratulated, Here's hoping that they can keep the momentum going.

i would say it's kinda lucky comeback...
but it's another history written for the most amazing comeback...
anyone knows who has the biggest gap of comeback? Besides LCW of course...

[CLELY]

No title for CHN this time. Of course, CHN only brought 'minor' team to Manila. I'm really surprise if CHN still won here. Congratz for all winners! Big day for Malaysian fans, 2 titles in one event -- first time in this year! Finally, Nova/Lilyana booked glorius for INA, hopefully they will shine in KL.

But the real battle should be next month...

[Jessica]

Well,Bao Chun Lai and Yang Wei/Zhao Ting Ting can't be caunted as "minor".

[zqloy]

Lee Chong Wei is in supreme form at the moment, winning the Indonesia and Philippines Open. I think only a top form Lin Dan will be able to beat him at the WC this year. But then again, home advantage could work against Lee :cool:

Will be hoping the same for KKK/TBH, expect better performance than wat they showed in PO with Rexy's presence in WC!

[robin7]

MS
Chen Hong vs Lee Chong Wei

MD
Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Guo Zhen Dong/Xie Zhong Bo

WS
Zhu Jing Jing vs Zhou Mi

WD
Chien Yu Chin/Cheng Wen Hsing vs Pan Pan/Tian Qing

XD
Lilyana Natsir/Nova Widianto vs Hwang Yu Mi/Han Sang Hoon

As expected & predicted!

Agreed .. that should not be an excused for the CHN team's failure here in PO;);)

I don't see CHN dominating now or the future..CHN may win titles but in the run up to the finals in SS , has it been boring all the way? There's been so many upsets no one can be sure who's gonna win.Do an objective trend analysis and you'll understand why LYB has to be the dominant coach in SS and why he cannot relax anymore. Try to live in the present instead of getting cobwebbed in the past.

If we look at this issue at different perspective say Malaysia is the one who dominates the Badminton sports, do you think Malaysia will back off and let other countries to win given that badminton is the only sports Malaysia can win gold in Olympic? Most probably not!
The good news is even China has been dominating but other countries also are catching up except Team Denmark without capable new comers.

It is tough day for CHN, even some players are 2nd team, reaching to finals were good but they could not collect the titles at the end...LYB has always demanded his team to win...I see that WD and MS is the most disappointing one for LYB.

Come to think of it, without Lin Dan, China most probably will not win the MS event in major tournaments. WS also becomes interesting as China still rely on veteran Zhang Ning and oversea Chinese women singles are getting stronger including Zhou Mi playing for Hong Kong.
Overall, I think China still is very dominating but I don't think we will see that many all-Chinese affair either in SF and Final on all events in near future.

I think overall it is good for the sport also....we see that MS winner is not easy to be predicted. or dominated by CHN...soon will be WS ( if ZN retires soon) and WD...

did you not mentioned that there were folks from Kuching at the party ? Anyway, charged up for the coming WC 2007. Going to be interesting, its anybody guess who is going to win. Hopefully, it wouldn't turn out to be a China sweep.

Yes...they are here for Gift show in convention to promote Malaysian tourism..so in the party, they danced and played music..I was born in Indonesia side like 8 hrs by bus to Kucing.....I cooked and bartender for my special drinks....:D:D Kamquat martini, etc...

In WC...it will be interesting to see...I do not think it will be China's sweep...it is possible but very very tough....;)

Why should MAS give up? As u said Badminton is the only sports who capable of bringing a solitary gold for them in Olympics .. while CHN even among the top 3 countries in overall gold medals tally for OG... They simply afford to lost all the 5 gold in Badminton compare v other countries !

there is a certain possibles for non CHN players to feature in finals in the future.. As we all can see .. Their Woman's team is not invisible or not unbeatable as before... On any given day... Any players can beat them !

Let's also give credit to LCW and KKK/TBH's opponents:

We know CH's circumstances and how challenging it must have beein for him to play outside the "system" after being sheltered by the Chinese Team all his life. More importantly is the character and sportsmanship he displayed after losing to a superior opponent.

Let's also remember that the partnership of Guo Zhendong and Xie Zhongbo overcame huge obstacles on their way to the finals by beating higher ranked pairs beginning with Tony and Candra followed by Luluk and Alvent on their way to the finals. I was lucky to have been able to watch most of the MD games last week and although I was rooting for their opponents, I was impressed with the effort and sportsmanship showed by the Chinese pair.

Agree. Both CH and CHN MD are credible and worthy opponents. It also means LCW and MAS MD are in good shape for the upcoming WBC.
Although CH has gone independent, he's still formidable in the first of a string of consecutive tournaments. He remains a good bet.
It's good to know that CHN now has a dangerous second MD capable of creating upsets.
