Russian Open 2007: Day 5 FINALS (09 Dec 2007)

[badMania]

MEN'S SINGLES
Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] vs Lu Yi -- Andre will be the favorite to win the title tomorrow, however, Lu Yi has beaten Tommy and Alamsyah in succession. Andre needs to play aggressively and don't let Lu Yi catch up.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda [1] vs Kristof Hopp/Ingo Kindervater [5] -- the Japanese pair deserves a title after a spectacular year, winning the bronze medal at the World Championships. They have really improved a lot under Park Joo Bong and a title will bring a sweet ending to to year.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Xu Huaiwen [1] vs Wang Yihan -- tough to predict. Xu has the slight edge.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing [1] vs Du Jing/Yu Yang [3] -- the Chinese pair to win their second consecutive titles.

MIXED DOUBLES
He Hanbin/Yu Yang [1] vs Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk [2] -- the Chinese pair has an edge and they should win their 4th titles this year.

Why all Final matches look like start from 1 pm (Moscow time)???:confused::confused::confused:

[Krisna]

I can't wait to find out Andre vs. Lu Yi...

[badMania]

I can't wait to find out Andre vs. Lu Yi...

Me too...seems like they are saving the best for the last today :rolleyes:

[badMania]

An interesting battle in the XD Final between He/Yu and Mateusiak/Kostiuczyk. It is deuce now at 21-21.

[badMania]

Second game point for the Polish pair...22-21....and it's saved...22-22.

[badMania]

Third game point at 23-22.....and once again it's saved!

[badMania]

Fourth game point at 24-23 now....and the Polish pair takes the first set 25-23. They were trailing 9-14 at one stage :rolleyes: Come on....beat the Chinese!

[apontoh]

Polish pair finally took the first game!

[tommy_bun]

Fourth game point at 24-23 now....and the Polish pair takes the first set 25-23. They were trailing 9-14 at one stage :rolleyes: Come on....beat the Chinese!

No......................

[badMania]

No......................

According to the head-to-head, the Polish pair beat the Chinese pair twice....and losing once :cool:

[Krisna]

If the Poles win, badminton will become even more BIG in Eastern Europe, thus... better for world badminton! We will get more friends who don't want to throw badminton out of the Olympics...

Thus, we should all support the Polish pair!

[Krisna]

Fourth game point at 24-23 now....and the Polish pair takes the first set 25-23. They were trailing 9-14 at one stage :rolleyes: Come on....beat the Chinese!

For the sake for the greater badminton good, we have to want a Polish glory, especially in this East Europe part of the world! :D

[apontoh]

For the sake for the greater badminton good, we have to want a Polish glory, especially in this East Europe part of the world! :D

agreed, with no disrespect to the Chinese team though.

anyway, at the end of the day, the better team will win.

[tommy_bun]

everybody here againsts me........:crying:

[Erwin Kyoto]

For the sake for the greater badminton good, we have to want a Polish glory, especially in this East Europe part of the world! :D

100% agree....with u all..:D:cool:

[apontoh]

everybody here againsts me........:crying:

where's li de quan? hehe..

[badMania]

If the Poles win, badminton will become even more BIG in Eastern Europe, thus... better for world badminton! We will get more friends who don't want to throw badminton out of the Olympics...

Thus, we should all support the Polish pair!

Indeed...the Poles are traditionally strong in the doubles with Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak (ranked no 15, they beat Sigit Budiarto/Tri Kusharyanto in the Athens Olympics opening round match), Kamila Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk (ranked no 21), Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk (ranked no 11). This year, Przemyslaw Wacha (according to Hau-Ge, pronounced as Wa-Ha) joined the crowd and becomes the highest ranked European player after the Danes (at no 14).

[tommy_bun]

where's li de quan? hehe..


Im the single fighter here just like others china players now who are fighting for the glory:p

[badMania]

The Poles are good at come-back...they were again trailing 2-7, levelling it at 8-8, then 8-13....reducing the gap to 12-13.

[badMania]

The Chinese pair takes the second set 21-13.

[badMania]

The Poles are piling the pressure on the Chinese...leading 11-7 at the interval of the third set.

[badMania]

The Poles have a comfortable lead at 18-10. They are almost there.....

[tommy_bun]

china pair to lose the rubber
they should have won the 1st as the led 14-9

[badboypedi]

polish pair won!!! europe vs china: 1-0 hahaaa :P
xu huaiwen will score the "2-0" for europe!!!

[leonardklh]

congrats to polish pair!

[apontoh]

Polish pair won it!!

[tommy_bun]

habis sudah
better go home

[badMania]

A good start....as the Polish pair Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk win the first title for Poland this year, beating the fancied Chinese pair He Hanbin/Yu Yang in rubber-sets 25-23, 13-21, 21-13 in exactly an hr! Congrats!

All right, for the sake of my PAW, I am supporting Wang Yihan in the next match!

[Krisna]

everybody here againsts me........:crying:

Huh? We are not against you. We are not even against China. We are just thinking about the good of badminton overall... Imagine how many votes the Eastern Europeans can bring for badminton during Olympic voting sessions.

I also like the fact that Tolmoff, that Estonian girl went to the quarterfinals... ;) and that Lithuanian played Andre to rubber sets... and even that Belarussian girl played Maria Elfira closely...

[CLELY]

habis sudah
better go home

Don't be sad tommy, CHN still has chance to grab title here through WD...

[Krisna]

polish pair won!!! europe vs china: 1-0 hahaaa :P
xu huaiwen will score the "2-0" for europe!!!

Xu Huaiwen does not sound European at all... :p She should change her name to Helga Xu, now that sounds more German [still with Chinese ancestry, of course...] ;)

[badMania]

Xu Huaiwen does not sound European at all... :p She should change her name to Helga Xu, now that sounds more German [still with Chinese ancestry, of course...] ;)

That's a nice suggestion :D Helga does sound very European indeed ;) Mention that to Hau-Ge...he's going to meet Xu in LA next week.

[badMania]

Yes...Wang Yihan takes the first set 21-17. Come on...I am relying on u for my PAW :D

[badboypedi]

helga is really a typical german feminine name ;)

[badMania]

Xu leads 11-9 at the interval of the second set. Come on Wang Yihan!

[stork]

Xu Huaiwen does not sound European at all... :p She should change her name to Helga Xu, now that sounds more German [still with Chinese ancestry, of course...] ;)

my suggestion: Helga Schuh

[badMania]

Another rubber-set is on the card as Xu is dominating the second set. She's 3 points away from taking it.

[badMania]

Xu Huaiwen takes the second set 21-16 :rolleyes:

[badMania]

Xu leads marginally 11-10 at the interval of the rubber-set. It will be a nervy ending....

[badMania]

Xu Huaiwen is running away now....leading 16-12. Come on Wang....

[Krisna]

I think Helga Xu will get this one, badMania...

[badMania]

I think Helga Xu will get this one, badMania...

The gap is now only 1 point as Xu still leads 17-16.

[Krisna]

18-17 for Helga... or maybe Hilda?

[Krisna]

Wooo, still tight, 19-19!

[badMania]

Crunch time....the score is level at 19-19 :cool: Wang Yihan at match point...20-19....and Wang Yihan beat "Helga" Xu Huaiwen 21-17, 16-21, 21-19. YES...I win my PAW!!

Dinner time now...be back later for more SEA Games and Russian Open Final matches...it's going to be a long long day....

[Krisna]

Wang Yihan smash winner 14, Helga Xu only 2... The more agressive Wang wins! 21-19!

[Krisna]

As for the next match between fellow Axis Nations of World War II [Japan and Germany], again I have to wish for the Germans to win. Olympic votes, Olympic votes...

[badMania]

As for the next match between fellow Axis Nations of World War II [Japan and Germany], again I have to wish for the Germans to win. Olympic votes, Olympic votes...

Haha...u are always so political :p

[Krisna]

Haha...u are always so political :p

Would you like to see badminton being thrown out of the Olympics? :p

[stork]

Olympic votes, Olympic votes... wishful thinking,... Sakamoto and Ikeda will win

[Krisna]

Olympic votes, Olympic votes... wishful thinking,... Sakamoto and Ikeda will win

The Germans are leading 9-7 now! :cool:

[stork]

The Germans are leading 9-7 now! :cool:

really? you are making fun of us germans..

[Krisna]

I am not kidding and not making a fictional joke. They just won the 1st game 21-16. Hail Hopp-Kindervater!

[stork]

looks like Hopp and Kindervater are on fire after beating Boe and Mogensen

[Krisna]

really? you are making fun of us germans..

But they are trailing 10-12 in the 2nd game... :eek:

[Krisna]

14-14 now... very close...

[Krisna]

17-16 now for the Germans!

[stork]

Only one point to avoid badminton being thrown out of the Olympics :)

[Krisna]

Match point for Deutcheland!

[Krisna]

Only one point to avoid badminton being thrown out of the Olympics :)

Oh no... 20-20... we got to hold on to the votes for now... :eek:

[Krisna]

A WIN for Germany! Fantastic!

[Krisna]

Olympic votes, Olympic votes... wishful thinking,... Sakamoto and Ikeda will win

Wishful thinking, I think NOT! :p


Only one point to avoid badminton being thrown out of the Olympics :)

Now you're getting into the spirit! ;) :D Let's all work together hand-in-hand worldwide to not let this sport dissapear from the biggest world scene... Somehow in the Olympic, badminton is still being seen as inferior to equestrian :mad:.... very insulting... :p

[stork]

How did they do that? Well done!

[apontoh]

congratulations Germany!

[stork]

Wishful thinking, I think NOT! :p



Now you're getting into the spirit! ;) :D Let's all work together hand-in-hand worldwide to not let this sport dissapear from the biggest world scene... [and somehow keep being seen as inferior to equestrian :mad:]

To be honest, Equestrian is very big in Germany, but you will hardly find a note about Hopp/Kindervater tomorrow in the papers.

[apontoh]

ok, i'm rooting for the Taipei pair to win the next match.

[Krisna]

To be honest, Equestrian is very big in Germany, but you will hardly find a note about Hopp/Kindervater tomorrow in the papers.

I heard that Equestrian is pretty big in Western Europe... but in most parts of the planet: Asia, Africa, Latin America, Oceania, Carribeans...and basically in almost all the major places where 5 billion humans live [out of the total 6 billion], Equestrian is a non-factor... :p

[stork]

We should create something like Olympics for animals, Animolympics, to get the horses over there and have a vote secured for Badminton in the Olympics for human beings.

[badMania]

Would you like to see badminton being thrown out of the Olympics? :p

You got your wish sir as Kristof Hopp/Ingo Kindervater won the title, beating the Japanese pair. Rian/Yoke are expected to meet this German pair yet again next week, having beaten them in the Dutch Open.

[Krisna]

We should create something like Olympics for animals, Animolympics, to get the horses over there and have a vote secured for Badminton in the Olympics for human beings.

I completely agree with you! :D :cool: :D This Animolympics might include dog-sleding, Karapan Sapi [Cow Race], etc...

Golf... on the other hand, deserve to be an Olympic sport and it would be extremely cool to have a Golf Men's and Women's champion... :D Individual [and maybe also team, if they have time]... ;) Now that's an Olympic sport worth following!

[stork]

I also like Elephant-Football.

[Krisna]

I also like Elephant-Football.

Hua ha ha ha! :D

By the way, before we really go off-topic, Du-Yu are killing the TPE pair. Different class laah... :o I just can't wait for the Andre vs. Li Yu game...

[badMania]

Hua ha ha ha! :D

By the way, before we really go off-topic, Du-Yu are killing the TPE pair. Different class laah... :o I just can't wait for the Andre vs. Li Yu game...

Let's pray.......

[tommy_bun]

krisna,now the badminton is more competitive as 2 european pairs beat asia pairs,hope they can make badminton more interesting

[badMania]

The tomboys Du Jing/Yu Yang collect their second titles in a row as they beat Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing 21-14, 21-14.

[stork]

Maybe wrong again, but I expect Lu Yi to win.

And congratulations BadMania for winning this tournament!

[tommy_bun]

Maybe wrong again, but I expect Lu Yi to win.

And congratulations BadMania for winning this tournament!
me too:D
btw,seldom to see you making posts,except for PAW

[Krisna]

Andre 4-3... in game 1

[badMania]

Hmmm Lu Yi ALWAYS came back from a deficit...Andre needs to be careful abt this :cool:

[badMania]

Maybe wrong again, but I expect Lu Yi to win.

And congratulations BadMania for winning this tournament!

Thanks to Wang Yihan :D

[Krisna]

Andre racing fast, 6-4... oops no, 6-5... now 6-6... Looks like an evenly played match...

[badMania]

See...3-0 becomes 3-3...6-3 becomes 6-6 :eek:

[Erwin Kyoto]

now...let see how Andre san playing against Lu Yi...the score is 6-6

[justin-terbalik]

7-6 andrea lead

[justin-terbalik]

very tight game..i guess....

[badMania]

7-6 andrea lead

This is not WS :confused: It's Andre.

[Krisna]

7-6 andrea lead

Andre, not Andrea... :D

9-9 now! :eek:

Note that Andre has 5 smash winners, Lu Yi has 2... Typical Andre Kurniawan game... :D I think he will win this as long as Lu Yi keep allowing Andre to play his agressive game-style...

[justin-terbalik]

This is not WS :confused: It's Andre.
:crying::crying::crying:Sorry....sorry..i want to write andre......but it come out on the andrea...sorry...

[badMania]

3-3, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 9-9, 10-10.
And now Andre leads 11-10 at the interval of the first set.

Come on Andre....

[justin-terbalik]

better write tedjono....11-10..TEDJONO lead

[Krisna]

Sorry....sorry..i want to write andre......but it come out on the andrea...sorry...

Oh ok... We thought you didn't know... :p 11-10 Andre leading now...

[Krisna]

better write tedjono....11-10..TEDJONO lead

That's like writing Hidayat instead of Taufik... A bit impersonal... :p Ha ha... But hey, it's your call...

[Krisna]

Andre smashing away! 7 smash winners now to improve to 13-10... Lu Yi still have 2 smash winners but an alarming 6 clear winners... Maybe Andre misestimated Lu Yi's shots a lot or Lu Yi controlled the rallies well...

[justin-terbalik]

That's like writing Hidayat instead of Taufik... A bit impersonal... :p Ha ha... But hey, it's your call...


any....short name for him...???

[badMania]

See what I mean....13-10 and now its 14-14. Lu Yi is just so stubborn...

[justin-terbalik]

all level..14-14...lu yi not easy meat..ahh?

come on ANDRE TEDJONO

[Erwin Kyoto]

This is not WS :confused: It's Andre.


:crying::crying::crying:Sorry....sorry..i want to write andre......but it come out on the andrea...sorry...

or maybe Andre's name sound like someone in your heart..:D:D..ups sorry out of topic...

what happen..Andre..14-15 now

[badMania]

And Lu Yi leads for the first time now....15-14.

[Krisna]

any....short name for him...???

Let's stick to Andre... Everybody in INA call him that... ;) :D

[justin-terbalik]

1st time lu yi lead 15-14

[Krisna]

Oh no... Lu Yi leading 17-14 now... C'mon Andre, figure out his weakness quick!

[justin-terbalik]

or maybe Andre's name sound like someone in your heart..:D:D..ups sorry out of topic...

what happen..Andre..14-15 now


:D:D:D...if in my heart then..it should be BRITNEY SOPIR...or nafa urbach..any way just kidding..

back to....LAPTOP...(sorry..game 17-14..lu yi lead)

[badMania]

From 11-14...its now 18-14 for Lu Yi before Andre wins another point :cool:

[Krisna]

7 consecutive points from Lu Yi... Good run...

[badMania]

7 consecutive points from Lu Yi... Good run...

He did that yesterday too..from 14-19 down and winning the first set 21-19 from Alamsyah :crying:

[Krisna]

Andre not done yet! 16-19! 18-20!

[badMania]

Come back from Andre?? Too late...Lu Yi seals the first set 21-19.

[Krisna]

Andre just did his 10th smash to get to 19-20! But... lost to a smash by Lu Yi [his 5th in game 1]...

[Krisna]

This is a game of will and determination. Both are evenly matched in so many departments...

[Erwin Kyoto]

Look like Lu Yi stronger than Chen Yu in 1st game...
Hope Andre will take 2nd game for rubber set...cmon ...add oil for Andre..

[Krisna]

Andre leading 3-2 now... But judging from the previous game, it won't last long... ah... 3-3 now...

[Krisna]

5 consecutive points by Andre! 6 consecutive points! 9-4!

[badMania]

A good momentum by Andre as he leads 11-4. Let's hope he keep the lead and force a rubber-set.

[tommy_bun]

omg andre got 8 points in a row

[Krisna]

9 in a row now! Ok, I am starting to suspect something is wrong with Lu Yi. Ha ha ha...

Andre is good, but not THAT good...

[Krisna]

In game 2, Andre has 4 smash winners, Lu Yi 0...
Andre has 10 clear winners, Lu Yi 0...

[badMania]

9 in a row now! Ok, I am starting to suspect something is wrong with Lu Yi. Ha ha ha...

Andre is good, but not THAT good...

Andre needs to be careful...it's now 17-9....

[Krisna]

Another smash by Andre 16-9! Another smash 17-9!

[badMania]

Andre will take this one...leading 19-10.

[tommy_bun]

rubber now.........

[Krisna]

2 more smash winners to a total of 8 smash winners for Andre... He now leads 19-10! Oh, another smash... 20-10...

[Krisna]

Game Andre! 10 smash winners in game 2, while 0 for Lu Yi... In total, this match Andre won 20 points through smashes, while Lu Yi won 5 points with smashes...

[badMania]

Andre forces a rubber with an attacking display in the second game as he takes it 21-11. 10 smashes+10 clear winners+1 net winner from Andre vs 0 smash+4 net winners+6 clear winners+ 1 unforced error for Lu Yi.

He needs to maintain his momentum for the rubber-game....come on Andre!

[Krisna]

The momentum is clearly on Andre's side... but a 2 minute break can change things... [hopefully not]

[justin-terbalik]

Come on ANDRE.....ANDRE.....TEDJONO

[stork]

Looks like Lu Yi played second set without smashing, to observe Andre´s game.

[volcom]

LY is wasting Andres energy, nice tactic imo

[Krisna]

Andre is very well trained and motivated... Just a bis vulnerable to changes in shot-momentums during rallies... oh no... 0-3 now...

[Krisna]

Andre is falling into Lu Yi's trap...

[tommy_bun]

how old is andre now????

[Krisna]

Lu Yi is using the net a lot... to get half of his 6 consecutive points...

[Krisna]

how old is andre now????

22, I think... But surely not 24 or anything like that...

[chemile]

0-7, wow quite hard to beat Lu Yi. It's ok Andre, runner-up for Gold GP is not bad at all...

[Krisna]

0-7, wow quite hard to beat Lu Yi. It's ok Andre, runner-up for Gold GP is not bad at all...

Andre, you can win 9 straight points in the last game... Do it again now... Don't give up! :mad:

[badMania]

A terrible start for Andre as Lu Yi is ahead now, winning 8 straight points yet again...before Andre wins his first point in the rubber-set :eek:

Come one Andre...

[volcom]

Lu Yi is very smart, Andrew fell nicely into his trap, like a big lobster caught in a giant net.

[tommy_bun]

22, I think... But surely not 24 or anything like that...
Ic...he has the same age with simon.Why he is not in pelatnas???he is a good player

[Krisna]

Just get 5 more points before the change of court!

[badMania]

If Andre manages to come back from this deficit, it will rank as probably one of the most impossible come back?

[Krisna]

Ic...he has the same age with simon.Why he is not in pelatnas???he is a good player

Pelatnas can't see his potential. So he went back to his old childhood club...

[badMania]

Ic...he has the same age with simon.Why he is not in pelatnas???he is a good player

He used to be in Pelatnas if I can recall...before he quitted (due to lack of tournament participation) and rejoined Djarum.

[badMania]

Unbelievable...11-1 for Lu Yi at the interval of the rubber set.

[Krisna]

Ouch... 1-11 in game 3... Andre, people already dismiss you. Including Lu Yi too... Just play a relaxed game and gain points one by one...

[tommy_bun]

If Andre manages to come back from this deficit, it will rank as probably one of the most impossible come back?
I think Lu Lan did it at Ina open 2006 whe she played hirose.She was left 1-10 and menaged to win 21-17 in the dicider

[badMania]

I think Lu Lan did it at Ina open 2006 whe she played hirose.She was left 1-10 and menaged to win 21-17 in the dicider

Let's see...Andre should play patiently and try to win one point at a time....

[badMania]

Okay...2-12 now...just play to your potential....and see what happens...

[tommy_bun]

Pelatnas can't see his potential. So he went back to his old childhood club...
Pelatnas should regret for letting him go.
is it possible if pelatnas bring him back or ask him to play at TC instead of tommy sugiarto???

[volcom]

Lu Lan did it against WMC if I remember correctly in the asian badminton championships. from like 17-9 down or something.
I laughed

[Krisna]

3 smash winners now for Andre... Lu Yi does look vulnerable to Andre's attacks...

[tommy_bun]

Lu Lan did it against WMC if I remember correctly in the asian badminton championships. from like 17-9 down or something.
I laughed
she did it to hirose too

[Krisna]

Andre, c'mon! Get you Gold GP title!

[volcom]

score update please

[badMania]

Hope is now getting smaller as Lu Yi gets his 17th point. Unless there's a miracle :cool:

[Erwin Kyoto]

What happen...look like Andre frustated....or injured...or tired..why...why???

[stork]

score update please

scoreupdate 17 : 5

[tommy_bun]

I think miracle is too far to happend as Lu Yi leads 17-5

[Krisna]

Andre 6, Lu Yi 17...

[stork]

Andre´s catching up :D 17 : 8

[Krisna]

Andre staging a 4 consecutive point comeback so far...

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Lu Yi 3 pionts to go

[badMania]

4 straight points for Andre....before Lu Yi wins his 18th point.
Make it 5-6 now....

[apontoh]

surely it's too late now for andre. i wonder what happened to him?

[z3048018]

wow, what a funny day today!!! at the moment, all top seeds lost to ones below them... never have i seen such a final!!

although the fat lady has yet to sing, it will be a miraculous feat to come back from the dead....even better than LCW at the MO!

18-8 now to to Yu Li

[volcom]

thanks a lot stork

[badMania]

2 more points for Lu Yi to seal the match....

[Krisna]

Net winner by Lu Yi... makes it 19-8...

[z3048018]

19-9 now.... can he?

[Krisna]

What happen...look like Andre frustated....or injured...or tired..why...why???

Maybe fatique?!? :o

[Krisna]

10-19 now... But getting 9 consecutive points is a bit far-stretched...

[tommy_bun]

The key is in the 1st set,Andre should have won it..just like He/Yu

[badMania]

10 match points for Lu Yi :eek:

[z3048018]

match point now to Li Yi

[apontoh]

Congrats to Lu Yi...and Tommy Bun. :p

[badMania]

Sigh...it was a case of too many to catch up with as Lu Yi beat Andre Kurniawan Tedjono 21-19, 11-21, 21-10.

[Krisna]

Oh... that's it China got 3 titles, Poland 1, Germany 1, INA zero...

[stork]

surely it's too late now for andre. i wonder what happened to him?

Nothing happened, Lu Yi is a good player. Chinese team mensingle is very deep compared to Indonesia.

[tommy_bun]

Congrats to Lu Yi...and Tommy Bun. :p
Thanx apontoh.....really unbelieveable Lu Yi can beat Andre

[Krisna]

Andre never quits [mentally], but he is often baffled when his opponents keep changing tactics on him... I think that's what Lu Yi did in the beginning of game 3... while taking advantage of Andre's slight relaxation after winning game 2.

[apontoh]

andre is currently ranked about 42nd...any ideas on where he'll be in next week's rankings?

[volcom]

I think it was a ploy to get Andre smashing out during game 2 and expend his energy, then being fresher for game 3.

[Krisna]

Nothing happened, Lu Yi is a good player. Chinese team mensingle is very deep compared to Indonesia.

China has: Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin, Chen Yu, Lu Yi etc...
Indonesia has: Taufik, Sony, Simon, Andre, Tommy, Wahyu, Alam, Rivai, etc...

China is very deep, but Indonesia is not too far behind... ;) Not too many other countries have Indonesia's depth in MS...

[Krisna]

andre is currently ranked about 42nd...any ideas on where he'll be in next week's rankings?

Thirty-something... :D Because the difference in point accumulation between rank 32 to 36 is not too big... But my best guess: Andre will become ranked 29...

[stork]

China has: Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin, Chen Yu, Lu Yi etc...
Indonesia has: Taufik, Sony, Simon, Andre, Tommy, Wahyu, Alam, Rivai, etc...

China is very deep, but Indonesia is not too far behind... ;) Not too many other countries have Indonesia's depth in MS...

yah, that´s true :) bye everyone!

[apontoh]

China has: Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin, Chen Yu, Lu Yi etc...
Indonesia has: Taufik, Sony, Simon, Andre, Tommy, Wahyu, Alam, Rivai, etc...

China is very deep, but Indonesia is not too far behind... ;) Not too many other countries have Indonesia's depth in MS...

in that case, Andre can enter main rounds of SS tourneys next year then?? well, he should...and prove Pelatnas wrong for ditching him.:cool:

Oh... that's it China got 3 titles, Poland 1, Germany 1, INA zero...

To begin with, a title in Moscow will be a big bonus, given the competitive field :)

Nevertheless, its a good achievement by Andre Kurniawan Tedjono. Honestly, I never expected him to reach the Final, given that he has to beat Chen Yu.

Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki performed to expectation with a Semi-Final finish. Fransisca Ratnasari and Alamsyah Yunus exceeded every expectation by reaching the Semi-Final, losing to the eventual champion.

A host of other players like Tommy Sugiarto, Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto, Anggun Nugroho/Tantowi Akhmad, Anggun Nugroho/Nathalia Christine Poluakan did well to progress to the QF.

Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya, and Nathalia Christine Poluakan/Yulianti fell in R16 to more experienced opponents. Maria Elfira Christina lost to a more aggressive Eastern European player.

Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan lost to the eventual champion in the first round. The only disappointing result was Tantowi Akhmad/Yulianti's first round loss.

Finally, Sylvinna Kurniawan and Maria Febe Kusumastuti lost in the Qualifying Rounds.

There will be more actions in the Italian Challenge...let's see if Team Djarum can steal a title or two.

Nothing happened, Lu Yi is a good player. Chinese team mensingle is very deep compared to Indonesia.


China has: Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin, Chen Yu, Lu Yi etc...
Indonesia has: Taufik, Sony, Simon, Andre, Tommy, Wahyu, Alam, Rivai, etc...

China is very deep, but Indonesia is not too far behind... ;) Not too many other countries have Indonesia's depth in MS...


yah, that´s true :) bye everyone!

bye Stork...
I am also wondering why Andre lost easily in 3rd game...It is not like when Andre could beat Chen Yu (rank 9) who has good ranking than Lu Yi (rank 49)...

Anyway...Congret' for Germany MD for their title in this tournament...:cool:

No title for INA in this tourney, unfortunately Andre has failed at the end but probably this is maximal result from INA's back up team. Meanwhile CHN small squad booked 3 titles here with Lu Yi and Wang Yihan are the unpredictable winners. And Europe representatives, Germany and Poland taste victory this time to overcome strong faves Japan and China pair respectively, Congratz!

Without training, chen hong is not gonna get pass round 2
