i agree with your prediction..:D

Lee Chong Wei will take the mens inspite of getting a walkover in the semi's. He has been consistent in the SS circuit winning Indonesia.

Rest will go as robin7 has mentioned...

My heart wants CHEN Hong but my mind says LEE Chong Wei.

Koo/Tan will probably win the MD.

I would like the young Korean mixed pair to take their first title (would it be?) but the #1 INA mixed pair might be too much for them to handle.

Zhou Mi is too experienced for the young Zhu Jing Jing.

I hope the TPE pair will take their first title of the year.

really hope tat ur prediction will be right..
till now..
LCW & KKK/TBH nvr stand on the highest podium together...
hope they can break the jinx 2mmorow!
MaLaYsIa BoLeH ^.^

Hopefully Chen Hong and the chinese MD defeat Malaysia

I think CH will win the MS title tomorrow. After winning the Thailand Open, Philippines Open will be his second title for this year :) Just do it CH, your wife will always support you :D

so far LCW is still the favourite..
i will go for LCW..
straight set for the philippines open title !

LCW :) obviously ;p

Hopefully Chen Hong and the chinese MD defeat Malaysia

mayb they want 2 take a long rest 4 the WC...

mayb they want 2 take a long rest 4 the WC...

Yes, their confidence level right now is high.. especially LD who defeated LCW last tournament... they don't want to play another tourny before WC because a loss would damage their confidence... :D (my theory is realistic right?)

Did you notice that 4 top seeds (exception of WS) made the final ! My prediction is all top seeds except MS will win tomorrow.
My fav for the WS is Zhou Mi but of course !! She has been winning a lot of PAWs for me. :D Too bad I had finished using my PAWs, otherwise I wud have voted for her again.

Chinese MD to win the title...hehehehe

Yes, their confidence level right now is high.. especially LD who defeated LCW last tournament... they don't want to play another tourny before WC because a loss would damage their confidence... :D (my theory is realistic right?)

Yes... i totally agree with you...if they didnt play 4 any tournament (bfore the wc) their confident level will increase.:cool:.. but in that time surely the other player will improve their skills..:cool::cool::cool:... I think,if they just take part in the tournament, they will practice while increase their ranking point...plus,if they keep fighting with outsider player, they will know the weakness n the strenght of their opponent....So,they will know with whom they should be alert... Am I right??:)

Different person have a different opinion..;)

Ting...Ting..Ting...can china do it like they did at Thai GP????

Chinese MD to win the title...hehehehe
no matter MAS or CHN pair win..

lee chong wei always win the battle vs chen hong from 2006 ...so i pick lee chong wei as the winner.....

mas can win 2 titles from philipine open .... only lin dan can beat lee chong wei now ....

no matter MAS or CHN pair win..

Good Observation. It surprises me that finals are all between Chinese from different areas:

MS: Native Chinese (chen h) vs Overseas Chinese (lcw)

9½ hours to go.. ;)

what's the difference between mainland, native and china chinese??

what's the difference between mainland, native and china chinese??

well, good question.

Mainland chinese means chinese in the mainland China. The opposite is non-Mainland chinese, could be taiwan chinese, hong kong chinese, american chinese.

Native chinese means chinese in their homeland. The opposite is overseas Chinese.

China chinese means chinese in the country of China.

so the scope is like these:

Native Chinese = Mainland Chinese + Hong Kong Chinese + Macau Chinese + Taiwan Chinese

Native Chinese = China Chinese + Taiwan Chinese

China Chinese = Mainland Chinese + Hong Kong Chinese + Macau Chinese

so
Native Chinese > China Chinese > Mainland Chinese

OMG! :eek:

But.. no matter what Chinese they are, I still root for Mainland-Chinese in the PO finals.. :)

see, yannie understands well the difference between mainland Chinese and native Chinese, or China Chinese. Because native Chinese includes Chinese in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, and China Chinese includes Chinese in Hong Kong and Macau.

Same thing applies to Malaysian:

Malaysian = Malaysia Malay + Malaysia Chinese + Malaysia Indian + indigenous

Malay = Malaysia Malay + Indonesia Malay + Singapore Malay + ...

Can't see any upsets today, therefore:
MS: LCW

WS: can zhou mi slap LYB?
WD: red china vs china rebels
XD: can KOR upset strong INA pair?

Zhu has some amazing backcourt footworks, thats why she can do some jump smashes and recover quickly. However, her frontcourt skills is abit weak.

LCW for MS its a close call....like always
ZM for WS for sure
Lilyana/Nova for XD for sure except Novaplays some yo-yo tricks that he learnt from HH.....hehehehe
TPE for WD playing CHN junior pair...a golden opportunity for the TPE to win
KKK/TBH for MD but The CHN seems improved alot...it will be close

Prediction:
CHN to lose all finals, and INA to take XD. Chen Hong and Han/Hwang will come close.

Kind of like to see that happens. I'm getting bored by CHN domination. If they continue to dominate, I will lose interest in badminton.

CHN dominating a single sports events in Badminton will seriously dampened the Olympics Spirits ! We were in DANGER of losing this events being held for future OG IF the situations continues ! IOC will probably drop badminton frm OG ! So hopes CHN will considering on it & ot being too selfish . They shld follow the examples of KOR on Taekwondo & JPN on their KarateDo in which both countries helps out developing this sports in other countries.. They even did not send their participant in World Cup for this 2 sports (in several single exercise).. To raise a new World Champions for another countries outside them to have a chance of winning the world title ! I doubt CHN Badminton Association can do the same on that...!

By "we don't like China dominates badminton", we didn't mean that China should just give up or give away, but we hope other countries will catch up (perhaps with China's help). China doesn't have to dominate the games (e.g., sweep 80% of international titles - pretty much the case nowadays for those tournaments that China send all their best to) to ensure the game's popularity in its own country and keep badminton in OG. China is influential but not THAT influential to stop IOC from dropping particular games from OG. Instead, if China keeps dominate the game, causing other countries to give up or don't give their best (i.e., their governments and their sponsors cut down their sponsorship), thus worsen the imbalance, IOC would perceive badminton as a one-country game (i.e., only popular within one country, no matter how big and how influential the country is) and therefore the game will be dropped from OG.

OK.. then could u pls explain Y CHN cany follow the footsteps of KOR / JPN for developing the interests of Other Countries in Taekwondo/ Karate respectively! Today.. More countries participating in those 2 events compare v Badminton.. Pls correct me IF i am wrong !

China has also been playing a big part in promoting wushu as an international sport. In the past world meets, CHN team often withdraws from about 1/4 to 1/3 of the individual events (if not, they could easy achieve clean sweeps year after year) to give other countries' athletes the chance to become world champions, thus increasing those countries' interest in supporting the sport. Those CHN athletes who were forced to withdraw might be upset but they knew it's for the sport's good - and they just took turn to withdraw (or if one athlete is good for winning 2 or more golds in different categories, they could just withdraw from one of the categories).

Just plain bias stupidity to say Chinese made products are low in quality and some European or Japan made product is high quality...

CH is currently showings very fiery form in this PO.. He definitely wana win this title coz he has no chance to participate in WC. He certain wanna proove it to the CHN team that they will miss him after he quit National team.. Based on his recent perfomance.. ONLY LD able to challenge his games.. He is a real fighter in his game plays.. Which was really thrilled the courts heart.. Always retreive impossible smashes & excellent nets play...
My instinct tell me LCW wont able to win against him later today. CH win takes the solitary title for CHN in here..

Why should LCW should be Overseas Chinese and different from the Malaysian MD when the MD are Malaysia Chinese. Overseas Chinese refers to someone who was born in China but migrating to overseas. LCW was born in Malaysia. Raised in Malaysia. Trained in Malaysia. But his skill was perfected by Chinese and Malaysian coaches.

Currently, Chinese coaches are sharing all the prize money with their players. In order to have more income, the chief coach will send the best players to the SS tournaments in order to grab away all the prize money and also to prevent foreign countries players from collecting too much points from these tounaments.
So, they will continue to send their best players to sweep 80% of international titles for the sake of their personal income.

I could say LCW also desires to win this to boost his confidence in the upcoming WC - if he couldn't beat CH, how could he beat LD? He certainly wants to prove it LD won't be able to stop him to become the first MAS player to be the world champion. He has also been a real fighter whenever he is motivated. So, all things being equal, I won't just look at one player's mentality to predict the outcomes.

That's why we argue that this will harm the sport in long term if the trend continues.

Don't blame china. China doesnt hold secrets of badminton like kung fu. China is a weakling only decades ago, they learned from scratch, something ANY countries can do. china werent even allow to play ibf sanctioned tournaments or join IBF in the early days. Stop whining about china domination.

Off topic abit. I am not being biased here but the fact is China made products are usually low in quality comparing to Japan or Euro made. Thats the fact we all knew very well.

Do u seriously fink that ZJH/YY interest in coaching a badminton team??? No source ever mentioned that any offer by them self.. I have come across from frans working in mass media that they never even fink about coaching.. so its no the matter of any countries want them.. Its just their personal choice..
CH/ZM is still in their playing days.. Y should the quit & become a coach at the moments?

at least chance of 50:50 for straight set n 80:20 if go for rubber, LCW will win

hahaha, doesnt matter, kung fu (JKD) still trumps karate, Taekwondo, etc LOL

China does not have the prerogative to promote badminton around the world. (I am not saying they shouldn't or they don't, just that they don't have the responsibility.) Korea promotes Taekwon-do, Japan promotes Karate-do and China promotes Wushu (how come all so violent?) because these originates from their own country.

It is not China's fault that they dominate badminton. It is not other countries' fault also. But it would be nice if other countries close the gap. We still see others (Taufik) winning the most important title.

Well... research have shown that 90-over % INA people actually originally came from south CHN and our DNA map is 99.99% identical... :D So INA and CHN are actually all cousins?

Indochine (if not mistaken, it's between cambodia and china)

China does not have the prerogative to promote badminton around the world. (I am not saying they shouldn't or they don't, just that they don't have the responsibility.) Korea promotes Taekwon-do, Japan promotes Karate-do and China promotes Wushu (how come all so violent?) because these originates from their own country.

It is not China's fault that they dominate badminton. It is not other countries' fault also. But it would be nice if other countries close the gap. We still see others (Taufik) winning the most important title.

We didn't blame China. We consider promoting badminton in other parts of the world an option, not responsibility, for China. Our argument is simply that China's domination in badminton will do more harm than good to the sport. That's all.

Match point 20-9. 21-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! LEE CHONG WEI will take the FIRST SET ! GOOD!

LCW won at 21:9 first game

Someone describe how LCW is winning his points. Smashes? netplay? CH errors?

and LCW takes it, 21-9.

And what is Chen Hong doing, it looks like easily wrapped up by LEE CHONG WEI ???

yeah,lcw...gogogo

CH is making loads of errors, but most of the points are coming from LCW's cross court and down the line smashes from the forehand side. very dominant display by the malaysian, i've never seen CH made to look so ordinary. not as much net play as i would have expected to see.

I dunno but CH just like give the game 2 CW.. CW'S leading...5:1

Go CW!!I like this!!

Someone describe how LCW is winning his points. Smashes? netplay? CH errors?
mostly from CH errors, too many trick shots not working for him

LCW v Chen Hong
1-0
2-0
2-1
3-1
4-1

Chen Hong is without a coach. Is this affecting his game?

basically, CH was way too slow to match LCW in court coverage,.....lets see how he would adjust in the 2nd. game...

LCW v Chen Hong
1-0
2-0
2-1
3-1
4-1

Chen Hong is without a coach. Is this affecting his game?

Dont think so, all the while i seldom see coach around him anyway .... i think is LCW superbly GOOD !

LCW is very sharp today. 6-1 now...... make it 7-1 now.....

Okay, whats the SCORE like for the 2nd SET now ??

CHN dominating a single sports events in Badminton will seriously dampened the Olympics Spirits ! We were in DANGER of losing this events being held for future OG IF the situations continues ! IOC will probably drop badminton frm OG ! So hopes CHN will considering on it & ot being too selfish . They shld follow the examples of KOR on Taekwondo & JPN on their KarateDo in which both countries helps out developing this sports in other countries.. They even did not send their participant in World Cup for this 2 sports (in several single exercise).. To raise a new World Champions for another countries outside them to have a chance of winning the world title ! I doubt CHN Badminton Association can do the same on that...!

How about table tennis?
Even if badminton was not a game in Olympics, I would still be crazy for badminton.

OH YAY!!! LEE CHONG WEI is the man ! Keep going !!

damn, it's a whipping for CH!

2 errors in succession by LCW 7-3. Now 8-3, 8-4......

Waw...LCW showed some great defences...CH just couldnt match his speed

LCW vs CH 9:4

Okay, whats the SCORE like for the 2nd SET now ??

LCW is now leading 10-4. 10-5 now.

OKAY THANKS!! Keep posting the RESULTS .... appreciate a lot !

Purple patch for Cheng Hong 7-10. He has to make his move now otherwise LCW will fly off like a train.........

thx u all 4 posting results here ya..keep update

Sounds like not playing yesterday and his vaunted speed is proving too much for CH

I hope CH can make a match of it.

11-7 to LCW.at the interval. this one could be over very early folks!

at least some consolation for me to see you guys update the scores... Thanks

Might it be due to the WO of Sony that preserved some ENERGY for Lee Chong Wei to race ahead. Chen Hong looks tired ?? Hows his GAME today ?

Incredible retrieving from LCW 13-9. Now a careless drop 13-10.....

:D:D 14:10...keep up the good work, lcw!!

CH fighting back now, 9-11.

I hope Lee Chong Wei to WIN and Chen Hong will not lose TOO BADLY

LCW will be officially move back to world No.2 on coming Thursday.

Good to hear that.....and he will be seeded 2nd in WC07...m i right?

Good to hear that.....and he will be seeded 2nd in WC07...m i right?

He will be seeded 2nd even if he lost to CH today. CHN team didn't pick CH to enter to WC because he's no longer with the national team

He will be seeded 2nd even if he lost to CH today. CHN team didn't pick CH to enter to WC because he's no longer with the national team

But LYB said he might consider to let Chen Hong represent China Team if he is performing. And Chen Hong is doing it .........

LCW won straight 21-09 21-15.

Congrats LCW!!!

Good stuff from LCW. Dominated the whole game and clinically finished off CH quickly. That's how he should play LD...

I hope LCW is not peaking too soon .......

I hope LCW is not peaking too soon .......
I thought he is already at his peak now?:confused:

I thought he is already at his peak now?:confused:
i think he meant peaking before august 2008:p

And what about KKK/TBH? could they back to 2nd rank even if they lost(pls dont) today?

Good to hear that.....and he will be seeded 2nd in WC07...m i right?

Yes... that also means the probability of LCW meeting LD in the final is very high.:)

i think he meant peaking before august 2008:p

Yes, I want LCW to be at his peak during 2007 WC in August .......:)

Yes... that also means the probability of LCW meeting LD in the final is very high.:)

Better than meeting LD in Quarter-Final i guess :D

Any updates on the WD match? Anyone?

And what about KKK/TBH? could they back to 2nd rank even if they lost(pls dont) today?

YES i think, since the top INA pair is not blocking their way and the few higher ranking pairs also didnt participate :p:p:p

i think he meant peaking before august 2008:p
Well for one year ahead... anything can happen. Even LD can't be too sure if he could still maintain his peak till then. I think young star like Chen Jin has a better bet.

WHAT HAPPEN TO KKK???:confused::confused:

Yes, I want LCW to be at his peak during 2007 WC in August .......:)this would make LYB very happy:)

Taipei v China
2-2
2-3, lucky net shot

WHAT HAPPEN TO KKK???:confused::confused:
Errr.... What do you mean? What's wrong with him? You got latest news about him?

I thought his game will only starts at 5.00 pm PH time.

And what about KKK/TBH? could they back to 2nd rank even if they lost(pls dont) today?

That has been confirmed on the first day of PO (i.e., last Wednesday). The point gap between KS/MH and KKK/TBH is 1,000+ but Kido/Markis has skipped PO. Therefore, as long as KKK/TBH won their R1 match, the points they earned were sufficient to overtake KS/MH.

You can still get in your PAWs for the 3 remaining games if you're quick, or the last 2 for sure
Edit: sorry meant for huangkwokhau

Close fight at the beginning of the set but Taipei won quite easily in the end.......

Louisa, what is "fuyoh"?
:D:D:D
fuyoh means great/terrific.......in Louisa's context

LCW will be officially move back to world No.2 on coming Thursday.

My apology! LCW will still be World No.3 on coming Thursday. I've miscalculated the WR just now. Of course, the gap between CH and LCW's WR points will be narrower (412 points, compared to 502 points now). If CH does not enter to WC and no other player catches up (i.e., LCW must at least advance to the same round eventually with CJ and BCL, and at least one round less than Gade, and at least 2 rounds less than CY), LCW will move back to world No.2 by the end of WC.

:D:D:D
fuyoh means great/terrific.......

What language/dialect is that. Or is it some slang? Just curious.

wut time da MD play ?

check it out here.,..its told that 5 pm..
