[huangkwokhau]

Surprisingly that China is fielding a good team to Luxemburg.
I am wonder why they do not send them to Macau instead...

MS:
Lu YI
Qui Yan Bo
Wu Yunyong ( based on Europe)

WS:
Zhu Jing Jing
Wang Yi Han
Jiang Yanjiao

MD:
He Hanbin/Shen Ye
Xu Chen/Sun Junjie

WD:
Pan Pan/Qian Tian
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen ( wow...)

XD:
He hanbin/Pan Pan
Xu Chen/Qian Tian

[huangkwokhau]

Indonesia only send single MS and WS only:

MS:
Indra Bagus Ade Chandra
Bandar Sigit Pamungkas
Endra Kurniawan ( is he based on Europe?)

WS:
Yuan Kartika
Aprilia Yuswandari
Febby Angguni

No MAS or US players at all.
Xu Hai Wen, Anup, Wacha will headline this tournament...

No Djarum players too, I guess they will be in Macau instead...

Love this beer....whoever goes to Hong Kong, there is bitburger beer in Lan Kwai Fong...

[samuel882]

It Is actually good sign for CHN start to send their players for lower grade tournament .. YW/ZJW ..erm.. Still don't understand.. Mayb this pair will be quiting at very last minutes..
I am surprise that a "mini" size country also have an interest to held a badminton tournament.. Is that their 1st ever edition?

This week, Belgium has US$15000 tournament....I know for sure that last year, it was US$ 50,000.00 now it is US$ 70,000...I would like to see more US$ 7o K to 120 K tournament.....I am surprised that Netherland only has US$ 50K this year....too bad...

Too many tournamnets on that week, we willhave Macau ( US$ 120 K), Bulgaria ( US$ 15 K international challenge) and Bitburger Luxemburg ( US$ 70 K)

[Krisna]

Indonesia only send single MS and WS only:

MS:
Indra Bagus Ade Chandra
Bandar Sigit Pamungkas
Endra Kurniawan ( is he based on Europe?)

WS:
Yuan Kartika
Aprilia Yuswandari
Febby Angguni


This is good news. I am surprised they did not send Pia and Tommy... Those two made more sense... :confused: And by the way, yes Endra Kurniawan is based in Germany. Playing for a certain club there...

[huangkwokhau]

Why PBSI keeps sending Yuan Kartika?.....may be PIA and Tommy will be in Macau..considering too many tournamnets in that week.....hope Djarum will send Febe and Elfira to Macau.....

[badMania]

Krisna should know the best :p

[huangkwokhau]

Only one WS Japanese, Mizuki Fujii will be there.....I bet the rest of japanese team will be in Macau...I am wondering if Fujii makes the right decision, flying to Europe by herself....????

[Stenger]

WD:
Pan Pan/Qian Tian
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen ( wow...)


No Cheng su/Zhao yun lei N Ma Jin Wang Xiao Li???
Hmnnn should ask LYB

[Krisna]

Hey, China didn't send Wang Lin! Hey LYB, why not? Will you send her in Macau Open instead?

[huangkwokhau]

I think CHn will send Zhu Lin, Lu Lan, Wang Lin,, either XXF or ZN to Macau....I will take a pic with ZN if she goes before she retires soon...hehe

[huangkwokhau]

I called BWF why they did not release seeding report with M&Q?....they will not answer me...not proffessional organization......

[Stenger]

The M/Q-Report is on our website: www.bitburger-open.de

[huangkwokhau]

The M/Q-Report is on our website: www.bitburger-open.de (http://www.bitburger-open.de)
Yep..I found it before...but I thought the list may be a bit different.....

[Stenger]

The draw is online.

[badboypedi]

Indonesia only send single MS and WS only:


Endra Kurniawan ( is he based on Europe?)




yes, endra kurniawan is based on europe!! he plays in the german league

there will be a live-stream, see homepage link below!!
http://www.bitburger-open.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=50

participate will for example: WACHA Przemyslaw, LEE Stuen Seng, SRIDHAR Anup, Bjoern Joppien in ms// XU Huaiwen , JIANG Yanjiao, Juliane Schenk in ws// spitko/fuchs in md// YANG Wei/ZHANG Jiewen, grether/schenk in wd// kindervater/piotrowski, hopp/overzier in mx

heres the main and qualification draw: http://www.bitburger-open.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=53〈=en (http://www.bitburger-open.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=53&lang=en)

i think most of the top players will be at macau open, which is at the same time..its a pity for "our" tournament, because this year it has got its "20th anniversary" ;)

edit: heres the whole list of all participants: http://www.bitburger-open.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=51

[george@chongwei]

err, is the livestream effective from day 1 of the tournament or from semi final onwards??

[CLELY]

The organizer of Bitburger Open is much better than Macau how to handle one tournament. Live-streaming and related info are available through Bitburger web. There's also Player's party, WoW!

In other side, Macau which has higher level and total prize-money, seems all BC members once again will ask to our friend Rudy Huang as a volunteer to give us update result.

Who knows in 2010 Germany will become one of SS host?! Just 4 non-Asia countries of 12 SS installments, not good prospect to popularize bdm globally...

I agree that a Germany Super Series is already better than a Swiss Super Series... And while we are already going off topic, might as well say this: delete Singapore Super Series and one of the China Super Series [why need 2 like now?].. :p Just make them just Grand Prix Gold tournaments with lots of cash prize [like Chinese Taipei Open]... The excitement generated by last week's Chinese Taipei Open was pretty good...

What we do need: one USA Super Series... ;), one Australia Super Series... ;), and one Nigeria Super Series! ;)

[samuel882]

What we do need: one USA Super Series... ;), one Australia Super Series... ;), and one Nigeria Super Series! ;)
That will be after the 2010 WC in Johannesburg ;)

JIANG YANJIAO should win the tittle here...the most dangerous contender for her is WANG YIHAN...
as for WD it should be YANG and ZHANG
THIS two categories was the easier to predcit

really?
isn't xu huaiwen playing?
i don't think we should discount her if she is.

[huangkwokhau]

YES..Wang Yi Han did not even qualify during JO and lost to Kim Moon Hi...WYH is still not stable yet

[badboypedi]

and you really have to take a look at juliane schnek!! for me, shes a possible winner, too....but at first position, theres xu huaiwen!

where did you read that?!??

[Dreamzz]

it's in germany, not luxembourg.

and i suppose his comment is based on stenger's post saying that this is the 20th year this competition is being held.

[tommy_bun]

JIANG YANJIAO should win the tittle here...the most dangerous contender for her is WANG YIHAN...

THIS two categories was the easier to predcit

For me Jiang is the most possible winner but she has to be careful with Xu Huaiwen and Jualian Scenk.Julian sometimes can give Xie Xin Fang and Zhu Lin a hard time,so Jiang shouldnt underestimate her.....But pray the best for Jiang Yang Jiao....Jia You....

[tommy_bun]

Until now.. I still could not understand why Yang/Zhang is being includes in this tournament :cool:

Me either....China has some second liners to be sent instead Yang/Zhang

[Cheung]

I guess chinese's obligation to German's badminton....Yes, I think this is so. There are some agreements between the associations that they do send a top player(s) to certain tournaments for support.

I remember in one old report of Dong Jiong having to play in the Denmark Open whilst there was a very important National China games going on at the same time. DJ had to play in Denmark because of the associations commitment. My coach mentioned this arrangement existed as well. I don't about recent years but the appearance of ZJQ/YW certainly points to the same thing.

It is true....
I talked to PBSI official last week ..they decided to send some singles only this time.

[Dreamzz]

how strange, from the website, it seems like it's being held in germany.
oh well, i must have gotten confused somewhere, thanks for clearing it up.

i'm backing anup to have a good tournament here.

On our website you find a list with the daily matches on court 2.

Higher bitrate would be welcome if you can spare it :) Now it's around 250 kbps I think and it already looks poor at 200% let alone full screen ... 350 or 500 kbps would be better/great. Otherwise no problems at all :cool: Thanks!

[badMania]

Both Bandar Sigit Pamungkas and Indra Bagus Ade Chandra have progressed to R32. However, I think none will survive after today :p

[Krisna]

PBSI should have sent Tommy Sugiarto, Andreas Adityawarman, and Alamsyah Yunus to Luxemburg... Tommy Alam, and Adit have a better chance of doing well in this Bittburger Open rather than the Macau Open...

it isnt luxemburg!!!! its here, in germany!!! the tournament is held in saarbrücken, a city near the french border in the south west of germany!!!!!

at the moment, germanys young marc zwiebler is doing very well against anup shridhar...he is leading 11:8 in the first set..i hope, he can beat anup

Could you explain to us? Thanks;)

..the location of the tourney is in Saarbrücken, in Germany. Luxembourg, itself, borders around Germany, France & Belgium. So, technically, eventhough it's called the Luxembourg Bitburger Open, the tourney itself is in Germany.

Here's the "translated" version of the official website:
http://translate.google.com/translate?langpair=de|en&u=http://www.bitburger-open.de/cms/index.php&hl=en&ie=ASCII
Here's the map. Notice Saarbrücken in the lower right hand side. The city of Bitburg is towards the middle, up north, also along the border;):

Hmm, the two upsets so far in MS division are top-seed Wacha lost to CHN youngster Lu Yi and third seed Anup Sridhar defeated by home player Marc Zwiebler. I guess MAS Lee Tsuen Seng has bright chance to win title here.

[badboypedi]

ok, i just read a few texts on the bitburger-open homepage. its offical name is " Bitburger SaarLorLux Badminton Open". that means that this tournament is a cooperation of different regions of germany, france and luxembourg! in this wikipedia-link, it is explained! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SaarLorLux

[george@chongwei]

In the Bitburger Open, second seed Jiang Yanjiao advanced with an easy win over Jill Pittard of England. The other two Chinese had to beat seeded players to advance. Zhu Jingjing trounced 7th seed Larisa Griga of Ukraine 21-10, 21-10 and will face top seed Xu Huaiwen of Germany in the quarter-finals. Judith Meulendijks, who elected to play in Europe rather than attempt to repeat her stunning Macau Open victory last year, could not escape Chinese domination as she fell to 2006 World Junior Champion Wang Yihan (pictured) in straight games.

In the men's event, Lu Yi had an easy win over top seed Przemyslaw Wacha of Poland before having more trouble with Peter Mikkelsen of Denmark 21-13, 17-21, 21-18. He will be joined in the quarter-finals by compatriots Qui Yanbo and Wu Yunyong, along with two Danes, two Germans, and second seed Lee Tsuen Seng of Malaysia

Hmm, the two upsets so far in MS division are top-seed Wacha lost to CHN youngster Lu Yi and third seed Anup Sridhar defeated by home player Marc Zwiebler. I guess MAS Lee Tsuen Seng has bright chance to win title here.

Do you know how old Lu Yi is? Is he Chn's youngster? In his profile in BWF:
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/playerinfo.asp?playerid=14868
looks like he has been around for 5 years, since 2002.

Yet, he has really good performance in this tourney so far, tomorrow he will meet a tough Dane Joachim Persson [4], and if he can handle this, he most likely will meet Lee Tsuen Seng [2] of Malaysia in the final.

[well-son]

In the Women Singels, the Chinese player dominate the semifinal, with Zhu Jingjing (who has just upset top seeded Xu Huaiwen 21-19; 21-19) will face Wang Yihan (after won over 4th seeded Ella Diel).
In the other semis, 2nd seeded Jiang Yan Jiao will face the 3rd seeded Juliane Schenk.

It seems like it will be All Chinese Final in the WS.

Meanwhile, in the Women Doubles semifinal, the top seeded Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen most likely will win over Shruti S Kurian/Jwala P Gutta, and will face with Pan Pan/Tian Qing or the English Joanne Nicholas/Natalie Munt in the final.

I smell it will be All Chinese Final int the WD, too.

[hcyong]

China WS impressive with Zhu Jingjing disposing of Xu Huaiwen and Wang Yihan doing the same to Meulendijks.

[hcyong]

MS
Lee TS v Zwiebler
Lu Yi v Persson

Excellent. Wang Yihan is my favorite... :cool:

[badboypedi]

marc zwiebler lost in 3 sets after a big fight with tsuen seng lee!!! marc did very well in this tournament after having a long injury in his back! i hope he can play like that in the future, too!!

in ws, juliane schenk beated yanjiao jiang in 3 sets, tomorrow she will play the final against wang yihan!

in mxd, kristof hopp/birgit overzier beat chen xu/qing tian in 2 sets, the´ll face blair/bankier in the final.

so we got 7 "europeans" and 3 "asians" (pairs or singles) in the final. europe will win definitely the md and mxd title! :)

Another CHN success story beside Macau Open. Lu Yi, Wang Yihan and top-seed Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen delivered victorius for the Great Wall yesterday...

The surprising result, Lu Yi (his age is 21 or 22?!) has defeated top,second,fourth seed in this tourney, Wacha-Lee Tsuen Seng-Joachim Persson en route to win MS title.

[Stenger]

hi.
can you say what you think about the livestream? what was good? what was bad?
we want to do next year something better and need your opinion.

the livestream was good actually but it is too slow to wait the livestream to buffering.... can you upgrade the livestream more faster next year?? and also it requires Windows media player 11 or other onli.... i believe some user does not have the requirement and cant watch the live streaming....
ok, thats my opinion....

[CLELY]

Just confusing, the winner of MS is LU Yi or LI Yu?? I read article from BWF website that mention the young Chinese who beat Lee Tsuen Seng on final day was LI Yu.
