I will be flying off to Changsha, so, unlikely to follow the live-scores :mad:

MEN'S SINGLES QF
Lin Dan vs Simon Santoso -- Simon has shown some improvements, beating Lee Chong Wei and Peter Gade in recent matches. Can he go on and beat Lin Dan?

Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs Lee Chong Wei -- another great match and Lee must be primed to take his revenge for his loss in the World Championships. Sony looks shaky against Taufiq Akbar Hidayat today and I think the Malaysian still has the edge over him.

MEN'S DOUBLES QF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- the Djarum pair has impressed me even more by now. So, it will be a match between my favorite MD pair and my second favorite MD pair. The WC should take the match...possibly in 3 sets?

MIXED DOUBLES QF
He Hanbin/Yu Yang vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa -- the Chinese pair nearly lost today while Flandy/Vita had an easy match today. It will be tricky facing the younger Chinese pair, but, Flandy/Vita hold an edge.

XD:
Flandy/Vita vs He Hanbin/Yu Yang..Flavi shall prevail as they have passed the most dangerous momment at 1st round..frankly speaking, I would say this pair is the only INA hope as biggets possibility contender for the DEN tourney champ

MS:

-SS vs LD..wow..:eek::eek:..I would be dancing all the nite..if simon upset Lin Dan..as I said, would be the biggest upset of the year :rolleyes::cool:

-SDK vs LCW..i hope for Sony, but seems LCW is on his form..40:60 for Sony..as LCW will phase to the next round..:o
well, not yet happen that INA lost MS players at semis, but realistically, that's the map after Mr.President (TH) lost to BCL :crying:..

MD:

-Markis/Hendra vs Rian/Yoke.. a tough test for Markis/Hendra :mad: as they will face reigning Dutch open champ from Djarum..it will be test as well whether players within pelatnas are better than clubs, but based on their consistency, eventhough this is 50:50 game, i would put my hope on Markis/Hendra :):p

MEN'S SINGLES QF
Lee Chong Wei vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro - Lee is much motivated to avenge his loss in the World Championships. It could be a close match but Lee has the slight edge.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES QF
Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui vs Zhao Tingting/Yu Yang (F) - A 50:50 game but the MAS pair is all fired up after knocking down the top seeds in the 1st round.

MEN'S DOUBLES QF
Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen - the world number one should be able to pull it off.

I would like to see whether ZHOU Mi could beat ZHANG Ning in the WS QF:)

It's going to be stressful and exciting moments for malaysia in qtr final and semi final. All da best kawan... hantam kuat-kuat... kalah, jangan balik... hehe.:D

1st DAY - 10 upsets
2nd DAY - 2 upsets
3rd DAY - :confused::confused:


The Top Seeds Player left now are all in danger zone

MD
1. Markis/Kido vs Rian/Yoke - The seniors will be having a hard times against the impressive Rian/Yoke . Many supporters here for the juniors pair :p

2. Zhang Ning vs Zhou Mi - The big sister sweating heavily in two previus rounds.. Plus her injury,Won't be surprised if ZM can create a upset as she is hot in R16 by easily destroyed JJY.:eek:

3. Lin Dan vs Simon - The World No. 1 hardly went through any stiffed test yet. SS is still a class below LD, a miracle here is very unlikely to be happened...:rolleyes:

may i know what time does the match start today?

It's going to be stressful and exciting moments for malaysia in qtr final and semi final. All da best kawan... hantam kuat-kuat... kalah, jangan balik... hehe.:D

hantam kuat ? kalah jgn balik...?? :D hahahaha !! it good for the MAS player spirit :p

It's going to be stressful and exciting moments for malaysia in qtr final and semi final. All da best kawan... hantam kuat-kuat... kalah, jangan balik... hehe.:D

It's going to be stressful and exciting moments for malaysia in qtr final and semi final. All da best kawan... hantam kuat-kuat... kalah, jangan balik... hehe.:D

LD VS Simon
FENG-YUN VS JJS/LYD
YU Yang/ZHAO Tingting VS WPT/CEH
HE Hanbin/YU Yang VS Vita/Flandy
XIE ZB/ZHANG YW VS Thomas/Kamilla

PG would have been a sure win for LD. Simon is dangerous to top non-INA players. Simon can win if Rudy and Fastdrop show support. LD gets bothered when some of the crowd gets behind his opponent.

gdluck mlsian shuttlers!

:D:D...LD is nice person..he will sign authograph..mostly from kids...
Hm..side story here..may kids here asking Players' shirt especially when they have lost....for their reason...you lose..you do not the shirt anymore....:D how cruel!!...you can see many kids chasing the losing players, not because they want their authographes.....they want their shirt!!!:cool::cool::cool:

Simon shows his maturity and I hope Simon has a good fight with LD...I think LD has the edge despite Andrew Smith got first close set ....

gdluck mlsian shuttlers!
LEE CHONG WEI BOLEH!!!
KKK/.TBH BOLEH!!!!!
CEH/WPT BOLEH!!!!!
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!!!!!!

SIMON has come of age. I now rate him as 'dangerous'. Taufik.....hmmm, losing steam.

all the best malaysia badminton player

Chin/Wong make sure make an upset over Zhao/Yu
Lee Chong wei quick take revenge against Sony
Koo/Tan quick beat carsten/Matthias

all the best!! make sure see all three in semi-final!!!

MD
1. Markis/Kido vs Rian/Yoke - The seniors will be having a hard times against the impressive Rian/Yoke . Many supporters here for the juniors pair :p
Since when did they become seniors...
Age of the players:
Markis:23
Hendra: 23
Rian: 22
Yoke: 21

may i know what time does the match start today?

17:00 Denmark time.

17:00 Denmark time.

wow..you are up already??

that mean 12am MAS time??

wow..you are up already??

yeah, and you too.. i think i won't make it to the tour thing.. too late.

that mean 12am MAS time??

also 12 am Japan time start to Oct 27th...:cool:

Long waiting for today's quarterfinals that will start on 05.00pm local time (10.00pm Jakarta time). INA has 5 representatives in 3 division, MS-MD-XD and will they still exist in tomorrow's last four?

MS -- INA 2S, Simon and Sony must face the top-two seed tonight. On paper LD and LCW should prevail but everything is unpredictable now. Meanwhile two other encounters will serve somekind of boring match when CHN and DEN certainly secure one semifinal ticket.

MD -- Pelatnas vs Djarum pair, seems the reigning world champ will get tough test again after played marathon against Guo/Zheng yesterday

XD -- Flandy/Vita will continue their step, Yu Yang may lose her fitness because she must play two matches today...

yah.LD is a nice guy. i met him :)

Prediction time

WS
M.Zhou over N.Zhang. If ZN is suffering injuries, she will surely succumb to ZM
H.Y.Pi over C.Wang. Another titanic struggle on the cards as always when these two meet. Being in Europe gives Pi the edge
L.Zhu over H.W.Xu. The younger Chinese should outlast the vet
X.F.Xie over L.Lu. XXF making her way through the draw with a minimum of fuss

MS
D.Lin over S.Santoso. This could very well be the upset of the round. If LD is not up to his very best, SS can take him down
J.Persson over K.Jonassen. I think the younger Dane has shown very well and will seize the opportunity
J.Chen over C.L.Bao. Who knows? Ask LYB :rolleyes::rolleyes:
C.W.Lee over S.D.Kuncoro. LCW won't let his guard down twice in a row

WD
Wong/Chin over Zhao/Yu. Their defeat of the #1 seed would be all in vain if they did not win this one
Lee/Lee over Ogura/Shiota. Sorry cuties, tough Koreans to win
Kellogg/Emms over Persson/Elin. ENG pair are tough as nails
Yang/Zhang over Ha/Kim. Must have at least 1 CHN pair in the SF ;)

MD
Rian/Yonathan over Kido/Hendra. I'm sorry to betray my favourite MD pair but I can smell an upset
Koo/Tan over Boe/Mogensen. Won't be easy for the MAS duo but they'll just eke it out
Jens/Martin over J.J.Lee/Yoo. I'm gonna give the old dudes the benefit of the doubt as they're on home court
Fu/Cai over Jung/Y.D.Lee. Not an easy match at all and could swing the Koreans' way if they get some early momentum

XD
Saralee/Sudket over Kellog/Clark. C'mon, who won't cheer for the likeable Thais?
Emms/Robertson v Nielsen/Jens. The ENG pair have a point to prove as they try to move back into the XD elite
Zhang/Xie over Juhl/Laybourn. Will be close. If the home crowd get into it, it could be curtains for CHN
Vita/Flandy over Yu/He. The INA tandem have the will to overcome any obstacle, including Great Walls

Zhang Ning vs. Zhou Mi
Its the titanic battle of the veterans. While Zhou Mi is not really at her peak, Zhang Ning does have an injury that might hamper her chances in this match. Ultimately, I think this will be an extremely close game; both players know each other's game from back to front, and both are not playing their best. I predict a gruesome and tiring three set battle that will last for more than an hour, but will ultimately go to Zhang Ning, unless her injury affects her game too much.

Wang Chen vs. Pi Hongyan
When two ex-Chinese players face off, viewers are in for a treat. Pi has not been impressive lately, and Wang, fresh from her recent triumph in Kuala Lumpur, seems to have newfound confidence in her playing. Those delightful angled drops will give Wang the game in two sets.

Good analysis. :) Why not you ask Kwun to add your Blog site at this forum side page like Badzine? And you include BC site link in your Blog. Its much easier that way.

hey v ching today do the reverse psychology k?

He's been warned by moderators already to tone it down, get it?? :rolleyes:

oo!!! sorry!! y is he warned? nothing wrong what? it's people decision!!!

Since when did they become seniors...
Age of the players:
Markis:23
Hendra: 23
Rian: 22
Yoke: 21

What he meant is Seniors by playing experience in Overseas tournament and tourney exposure not AGE seniors.

oo!!! sorry!! y is he warned? nothing wrong what? it's people decision!!!

If the moderators deem what he's doing is detrimental to BC, then that's that. After all, this space is shared by many others, some of whom may find his act offensive or annoying. BTW, BC is NOT a democracy and everyone plays by Kwun's rules

thanks for the suggestion.

unfortunately, i won't take the suggestion this time. we have a link to BZ because they have produced quality and unbiased articles on badminton. vching's blog provides insights but have shown before to be less than neutral in his viewpoint, which unfortunately don't align with BC's philosophy.

however, i will remember to put his blog in our still under-construction link section.

yes. as have demonstrated in recent incidents, it is better for the BC community's stability and harmony as a whole to be a bit more strict on our moderation. we need to keep an eye on any posts that may cause widespread disapproval from other members.

I hope the dont...for the sake of the sport...please

i have a feeling that LCW will lose...i think WPT/CEH will lose..and i have a feeling that KKK/TBH will be stretched to three sets today

i have a feeling that LCW will lose...i think WPT/CEH will lose..and i have a feeling that KKK/TBH will be stretched to three sets today


i think LCW will lose because his blind spot is Sony. Sony will exploit the same weaknesses that LCW has. WPT/CEH will also lose because they are mentally weak and i suspect their win on wednesday was a fluke. KKK TBH will also lose because they will underestimate Boe and Morgensen

is this a reverse psychology.. soft version :D

Simon shows his maturity and I hope Simon has a good fight with LD...I think LD has the edge despite Andrew Smith got first close set ....
Yes, guess you have to be neutral since you lunched with him recently.
Anyway LD has such an edge over Simon an upset is unlikely.Just that supporting Simon will motivate him to give his all and make LD play his best.Then you will be rewarded with a thrilling match.Isn't that what the crowd wants?
(BTW, anyone would be nice to you since you have excellent EQ.)

hehehe..............censored pls...........not to let idayu read......sure kena one..............:crying::crying::crying:

keep cool man................we were just joking.........no heart feeling......correct ar victor..

But the ladies don't make jokes in any manner about the guys... so some may be offended. Same with the race issue in some other threads that got people offended.

I saw the whole 2nd round yesterday and in the 3 years which have passed since i last witnessed live world class badminton a lot has changed. Im making a quick rewiev on yesterdays matches/players and then my predictions

Bao Chunlai is the one who impressed me the most, such calmness and excellent technique mixed together with pace and great physical shape makes Bao chunlai a real lethal weapon. Taufik might have won yday since he played an excellent 1 set but as most problary know Taufik just doesnt have the stamina at the moment.

Chen Jin doesnt have the same potential as Bao, Taufik, LD and LCW but he for sure has excellent footwork and defensive skills that makes him wore out a lot of opponents. He lacks some offensive firepower and a bit of netplay to be a complete player, but still a player that surprised me with his awsome physicals shape.

Taufik played as i expected but it was awsome to actually see his drops, smashes, net play and backhand was so precisely placed. However with his recent stamina and pace he wont be a title contender but more as a dark horse, if he fix that he will be on par with LD.

Sony, LD, LCW werent playing their best, mostly due to the players they faced simply were a level below them in terms of skill. From score Sony might seem to have a hard time but in my opinion he was fooling around and seemed unfocused.

The big dissapointment yesterday was Peter Gade. Simon is a top 15 player and progressing fast but still a player like Peter Gade should in terms of skill, experience and the homecrowd behind him prevail in 2 sets. That however werent the case and Simon won convingcingly in 2 sets against a surprisingly unfocused and weak Gade who to me seems like hes a no go in the future. Simply didnt care at all about winning or not in front of his homecrowd together with his smashes and offensive play seemed very weak and without power/placement at all, id say he soonwill drop out of top 10 and retire, sad but time has come for a new dane to rise.

Mens double was excellent yesterday, so many pairs and so even. Chinese, malaysians, koreans, japanese and danes all struggling to enter the last 8. This category is atm the funniest since you never know who will prevail and come out as a winner, ofc Fu/Cai and Markis/kidho seems the best atm, but like 6-7 pairs seems only a inch behind. Was very surprised to see the new indonesian pair, they seem like someone to count on in the future together with the korean and japanese pair.

last matches were as ive expected,not many surprises in WS and WD and only got to see 1 exciting match in MX with the poles against the chinese. The surprise from yesterday was how even the MD pairs were and how superior the asians seem to be in skills/fitness in the MS, the europeans are really lacking behind in the MS category and with Gade fading more and more physically but specially mentally and Jonassen being 33 we need a new man to cary the european flag in that category.

anyways here are my predictions for todays matches in MS

LD to win Simon
Bao to win Chen jin
Jonassen to beat Person
LCW to beat Sony

looks like many of you guys are ready to the show...
It's about one more hour to come, if I am not wrong.

XD
Sudket PRAPAKAMOL/Saralee THOUNGTHONGKAM vs Anthony CLARK/Donna KELLOGG

XD
Nathan ROBERTSON/Gail EMMS vs Jens ERIKSEN/Helle NIELSEN
