The schedule is a bit optimistic. Understandably, they can sell more tickets after office hours, but I would start at some time around 3 pm to be safe.

i think Joko/hendra played well pressured KKK and TBH to make mistake..

One thing i noticed that KKK and TBH tend to quite relax until they know what the opponent is able to perform. Joko/Hendra had powerful smashes..

There was a point where KKK was playing while lying on his back like what happend in macau open..that rally was awesome..

In summary, i think Joko/hendra gave their best and KKK/TBH were fooling around abit..

Andre Tejono.. Omg he is crazy he was down 11-4 and got back to 17-19 at one point fought all the was and never lose hope..man he was pushing

It was just round one and it was already breath taking..

That's my impression too. And that's the big difference between them and CY/FHF.

Man he is still young and soon i think he will be the upcoming Indonesian men singles. Really if you see the live score he pushed all the way..

He still has a lot to learn but he never give up that the spirit in sport that i admire..

It was a good match to watch..

KKK/TBH did well in the end.Honestly, they should take it more seriously.

Maybe it was their first game and they were not warmed up and fired up just yet.But it was good to see Joko/hendra to play with good tactics.

FHF/CY did the usual slaughter thing...

The highlight of the day would be PSH/TH.. at one point the there was a bad line call and Li mao jumped from his seat .He was raged with fury.

The INA squad is getting slaugthered today...more will face exit tomorrow.

MEN'S SINGLES
Taufik Hidayat [6] vs Simon Santoso -- Taufik to win...although I hope Simon can create an upset.

Chen Yu [8] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono -- no doubt about it, Andre can win it, after beating Chen Yu in the Russian Open.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [4] -- the match of the round tomorrow and the veteran pair has a slight edge.

Roman Spitko/Michael Fuchs vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] -- the World Champion is stretched to rubber-sets today and they face another tricky European opponent tomorrow. Another rubber perhaps?

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir [8] vs Miyuki Maeda/Satoko Suetsuna -- if the INA tomboys play like today again, they will face defeat against the improving Japanese pair.

Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti vs Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota [6] -- the INA pair never beat the Japanese cuties. So, it will be a major result if Rani/Endang can beat Ogura/Shiota.

Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung [3] -- ditto, I think Jo/Greysia can only last till R16.

MIXED DOUBLES
Ingo Kindervater/Katrin Piotrowski vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- the World Champion barely survived today's match against the resilient TPE pair. Tomorrow's opponent is equally dangerous. It could go to the distance yet again.

Lee Choong Wei vs Wacha

Looks like a mismatch but LCW needs to earn it..Wacha can fight back from todays observation LCW need to me more careful.

KKK/TBH vs Lars/Rassmusen

I give it that the malaysian pair to win.However, i hope that they will give their best. The danes are not a pair to play around or to experiment new shots.

LWW/CTF vs TBS/OSH

The veterans to win.The juniors still have a lot to learn...enough said

WCH vs BCL

Seems like WCH is on his form..I say 50-50 or a very tight match..BCL is on his form too so it will be a very interesting match.

WMC vs Jeanine CICOGNINI (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=18612&player=125)

This one should be the taking for the badminton queen of Malaysia.

Zakry/Firuzizuan vs Tony Chandra

The former Olympic gold medallist to win.I hope for an upset but with the current form of the malaysian.I think there is a slim chance.


Tomorrow would be exciting.I hope and wishes all the best!!

Its exciting..

It was just round one and it was already breath taking..

I watched him live when he played here in the KLRC New Zealand open (semi final and final), which he won; and he was awesome. Definitely have the talent to get into the top 10 in the world if he can be more consistent. Got pretty good temperament too.

If he can beat Chen Yu to day, he's got a good chance of getting to the semis I think. At least that's what I'm hoping for as I want to see more of his games.

hope he get well soon and win his match gainst WACHA 2day...

from thestar online...


AN overnight fever did not stop national number one Lee Chong Wei from reaching the second round of the Malaysian Open at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
Seasoned campaigner Wong Choong Hann and KLRC Bhd’s Sairul Amar Ayob gave better performances in their chase to win valuable Olympic ranking points and joined Chong Wei in the second round.
The top seeded Chong Wei, who is now ranked number two in the world and virtually assured of a place in the Beijing Games, had to dig deep into his reserves to beat compatriot Mohd Hafiz Hashim 21-17, 21-16 in a 35-minute match.
Hafiz dished out a good attacking game, which had been missing from his armoury for some time. But a lack of fitness let him down.
Chong Wei will be up against Poland’s Wacha Przemyslaw today and he said that he expected a tough match.
“I fell ill last night. In fact, I was in the rest room just minutes before my match because of a stomach upset. But I am glad that I pulled through the first round. Hafiz certainly did not make it easy for me,” he said.
“I am sorry for my friend Hafiz. I know he badly wanted to gain some points for the Olympics. I hope he will go far in the Korean Open next week. “Wacha did well to beat Chen Yu and Chen Jin last year. I will certainly not take his challenge lightly. I will take a good rest.”

Interesting match today is Zhou Mi vs Zhu Lin. I am really doubtful Zhou Mi will play to win as she still worries about the punishment if she come out victory. Badminton Association of Hong Kong should observe this match in depth and if indeed Zhou Mi play not to win then she shall not be sent to Olympic representing Hong Kong.
Chen Hong has a pact with China Badminton Association and see what happens to him, such a disgrace and destroying all his credentials ...
I hope Zhou Mi is not another Chen Hong.

Timetable of today's second round is quite weird when the organizer set first match at 05.00pm and last part (MD) will be finished by midnight. But, yeah so friendly for working people...

After so many first round casualties yesterday, three INA representatives who potentially eliminated tonight are :
1) Simon or Taufik, waiting Simon create upset here but of course it's one hard job to dump the Olympic Champion
2) Rani/Endang, this INA pair has unimpressive performance compare than the other two, Vita/Lilyana and Jo/Gresyia
3) Jo/Gresyia, uphill task to overcome Korean world number four
-- An exciting clash between Andre and Chen Yu. Andre has advantage side in their two previous duels (won quarterfinal of Vietnam Open/07 and semifinal of Russian Open/07), looks like another close match once again for both of them whoever will win it.

All the best for Indonesia shuttlers, keep on winning...

It's just weird for the organisers to start the matches at 5pm.. Even if they use all 4 courts, some matches will stretch longer than the planned time of 40 mins per match, and will cause the delay of following matches. The last group of matches will probably go past midnight. Hopefully not.
The only reason I can think of behind this planning is ticket sales = $$$.
We live in such a realistic world.

We live in such a realistic world.

For ticket sales reason, I think they seriously need to lower the price at the first round and second round. Then put some announcement on TV and newspaper about the price to invite everyone to come.

The price for quater final onwards are reasonable.
