Malaysia Open 2008 - Day 4 - Jan 18 - QUARTER-FINAL

[badMania]

Kido/Setiawan just completed their match, tomorrow's semis starts at 1:30 pm.

How did they play? Were the Danes tired or what??? The second set was a joke......

[meeya]

Not Bad... for old cowboies

[jasonmarc]

Congratulation to all winners.....hope for better show in tomorrow's SF..good nite!

[badMania]

I thin MD belongs to Cai Yun and Fu Hai Feng..Kindra has no chance...but my prayer goes with them

Dude....u should probably watch the earlier match between Fu/Cai and Kido/Hendra. The INA pair totally destroyed Fu/Cai in a one-sided contest.

[eaglehelang]

Nahhh JE had to play XD too at 6.30 pm. Old man of badminton tired mah

[Tjun Tjun]

LWW leg hurting again kah? poor uncle lee

It is quite possible that LWW has not fully recovered from his recent injury....anyway the Danes are in top form (as mentioned by Abedeng earlier)......best wishes to them against the Chinese tomorrow.

[badMania]

Badmania, your heros won over the Denmark uncles, no sweat

Yah...there was one moment of sweat when the Danes caught up to 14-15 in the first set (despite the INA pair having a 7-pts lead at 12-5 earlier). But then, I think Kido/Hendra played their trademark fast-drives to seal it with 6 straight pts.

[samuel882]

A rematch of WC between both INA , on the recent form. Seems no1 can stop MK/HS except for Fu/Chai
Looking forward for an explosive finals between them

[eaglehelang]

To tell you the truth, I don't think even the MAS coaches expect them to win, their body language was less exuberant even at the start of the match.

Kido/Setiawan just completed their match, tomorrow's semis starts at 1:30 pm.


Which them? CTF/LWW or CCM/CEE?

Well Cai-Fu were tired at the time....I dun really trust Kindra they are yoyos

[badMania]

LOL....."yoyos" :eek:?

[d65up2]

Which them? CTF/LWW or CCM/CEE?

I think is CCM/CEE

[shyeling]

danes sure look at choong-lee's facial expression, cz they say they can win over koo-tan jz because koo-tan show their mind on their face..jz have a look..

[samuel882]

Should be both :cool:

[d65up2]

LOL....."yoyos" :eek:?

they are quite inconsistent....in HK open they thrashed the Chinese but during China Master they got battered......

Honestly they way they win matches are cheap....I mean I really want them to win the olympics and of course Malaysian Open but they dun have killer move like Candra-TOny (when they were younger), Cai-Fu Killer smash and KKK-TBH killer moves

I hope they proof me wrong

Dude...do your research more properly :rolleyes: I won't even bother to waste my time to reply.

[sentosa]

today's result really does no good for all country. lot's of seeded players are defeated.

[eaglehelang]

Should be both :cool:
:) One pair of uncles, one half , leg hurt, good thing not goin Korea Open, can rest knee/groin.

The other semi-uncle pair just 'join' back together, glue didnt stick properly yet. :D:D

[d65up2]

Well can Kindra be world no 1 if they win the MAS open???

[alfa-2]

Badminton no politics....where stealing our culture and also beating up our tae kwon do ref...beating up our maids???

but that is not government's fault what...........blame that culprit, not our government pls.;)

[ye333]

Find the Chn Masters Final and watch it. MK/HS is definitely NOT "battered" by CY/FHF. It's an even match I think.

[badMania]

On the contrary, I think the MD is well-representated.

As mentioned by one of our forumer in the chinabadminton.com:
"四对八个人全部拿过世锦赛冠军。风云和马亨的状态貌似颇为疯狂，连续轻取对手。"

4 pairs are all World Champions. Fu/Cai and Kido/Hendra's form are incredible....they have beaten their opponents easily :eek:

[badMania]

I don't think that guy has a clue :eek: "No killer moves"??? What a joke simpy....:rolleyes:

U gotta be kidding right? Hendra's anticipation in excellent while Kido's smashes is deadly, hv u been watching their matches?

[eaglehelang]

Dude...do your research more properly :rolleyes: I won't even bother to waste my time to reply.

Sabar, sabar, Badmania, tomm they will see your mighty mouse/mighty pillar fight it out with the still strong uncles

[d65up2]

I dun think that video is available though.......wats the score....they lost in 2 set didn't they.....Come on Kindra kamu bisa lebih baik lagi!! prepare for Olympics....

Well my only concern is dat Kindra never beat TBH-KKK

[badMania]

"97,01,03,05,06,07, 十年内的男双冠军只漏了一届，期待阿。"

U have really done your research :D

Indeed....97 (Candra Wijaya); 01 (Tony Gunawan); 03 (Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen), 05 (Tony Gunawan yet again), 06 (Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun), 07 (Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan).

Who's the champion in 1999?? Hmm....I kinda forget :cool: Ha Tae Kwon/Kim Dong Moon perhaps???

[d65up2]

Dun get me wrong man...I want Kindra to win every tournament...they are my hero too....but sometimes one have to admit that KKK-TBH is the better pair:crying:.......well an All England this yr would be very good for them since we haven't won it in 10 yrs

[badMania]

U gotta be kidding right? Hendra's anticipation in excellent while Kido's smashes is deadly, hv u been watching their matches?

Haha....I have already written in the previous post...that guy has no clue at all!!

[sentosa]

don't worry d65up2 the reason KINDRA never beat KKK/TBH is because KKK/TBH likely to lose at earlier rounds now. HEHEHE

[badMania]

Sabar, sabar, Badmania, tomm they will see your mighty mouse/mighty pillar fight it out with the still strong uncles

Yeah...tough fight as always....they might lose though :cool:

[d65up2]

I heard an English commentator saying this:

Markis Kido is hitting hard but they are not deadly...I mean even Anthony Clark has no problem returning his smash...I think this pair is where they are because of Hendra...cos Hendra is a very intelligent player.......he has the ability to read games

[eaglehelang]

Find the Chn Masters Final and watch it. MK/HS is definitely NOT "battered" by CY/FHF. It's an even match I think.

I think d65 has confused the matches with KKK/TBH vs Kido/Setiawan matches, Speedy/Lightning vs the 2 mighties got a few where the mighties couldnt get their act together.

D65, China Masters was what many said is the "bad line call" match, favouring China.

[samuel882]

don't worry d65up2 the reason KINDRA never beat KKK/TBH is because KKK/TBH likely to lose at earlier rounds now. HEHEHE
They can started not to focusing on KOO/TAN then :cool:

[d65up2]

hehehehe I hope that happends in Olympics and AE ya.....So Kindra has all 3 of them collected:)...but the biggest threat is Cai-Fu...did any1 watched Kindra match today btw????

How come they only have 4 smash winners??? so wat did they use to beat the Danes????

[F-38-I]

Hmm,an exciting match in md tomorrow,cos the 4 pairs are former & later world champ <yup,except tony!At that time,chandra was with sigit>

[ye333]

I think he said that because he only look at the 2:0 result. He didn't watch the whole match and didn't know that MK/HS gave up towards the end of the match.

Dude is China master first or China open first??? The one that Kindra won is China open ya??

[sentosa]

aiyah, everyone talks about KINDRA Vs CY/FHF right now. i wonder what will happen if both of them lose 2morrow.

[badMania]

I still have yet to watch that match up to now :cool: I was in Indonesia during the summer holiday when the Final was played.

I did however pop by Chengdu (what a hot city during summer :o) in the first round of the China Masters and met up with some players, including Ko Aryono (our WD and XD coach), Greysia Polii, Maria Kristin, Bao Chunlai, Xie Zhongbo, and took pictures with Xu Huaiwen, Anthony Clark and 2 French players :D

[koo_fan]

average day for malaysia.

lcw n wmc-great couple in a semis.what an interesting story to be told?

[abedeng]

Lundgaard had service trouble again, other than that, Eriksen was missing his net touch. A lot of simple net kills went to the net. And his forehand defence is terrible today. The closest they ever came to was 14-15 in 1st game.

Candra/Tony maintained their power game. This match hardly had a long rally, everything was for immediate kill. Kristansen lost his cool midway in the 1st game - affected his performance a bit.

Cai/Fu played their typical fast tempo, a lot of pressure on CCE. Once, Cai even leaped for a kill when CCM tried to send a shuttle backcourt that almost passed him.

[d65up2]

Well I dun think Cai-Fu will lose to the Danes.....if they do I'll give all of you treat when you are in Jakarta this March or April....well If Kido Win then I'll give everyone here a treat......cos I really place doubts on them lol

[F-38-I]

Okay,tony was also the md world champ. Tony/halim beat 2 koreans pair in sf&final in 2001. Then, I remember when chandra/sigit lost to tony/bach 3 years ago,it hurt me! Why did tony leave bach?Does he still coach us team?I ever heard a rumour that tony will back together with halim,but why that didnt happen?

[eaglehelang]

I think he said that because he only look at the 2:0 result. He didn't watch the whole match and didn't know that MK/HS gave up towards the end of the match.

Hiyaaa, D65 didnt read news wan kah? It was in the news online, Kido complain a bit about the line judging part. You & me not Indonesian also we knows.

[badMania]

Dude is China master first or China open first??? The one that Kindra won is China open ya??

Kido/Hendra have beaten Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun TWO TIMES over the past 13 months in individual tourneys: both ended in straight sets and incidentally, I was present in both matches to see them live in action.

China Open 2006 Final -- 21-16, 21-16
Hong Kong Open 2007 Semi-Final -- 21-15, 21-12.

In addition, they beat the Chinese pair in the Asian Games Team Event Semi-Final -- 21-14, 18-21, 21-16 and lost once also in the earlier matchup 16-21, 21-17, 13-21.

The defeats came in China Masters 2007 Final 15-21, 16-21; and another unofficial defeat in the group stage of the Invitational World Cup (which they won eventually): 21-12, 14-21, 10-21 (note that they were without a coach when they travelled to Yiyang. Ko Herry IP flew back home after the victory over Fu/Cai in the China Open Final in Guangzhou).

So, recent matchups suggest that they are evenly matched at 3-3.

[d65up2]

Dude I am Indonesian...I want my players to do well thats why I am very criticaal....But was that the case in China open??? Any links??

[badMania]

How did the World Champion play today? Esp at the crucial stage 14-15 in the 1st game. I suspect they were playing fast-drives?

[abedeng]

Yup, fast drives that ended with Danes sending to the net. Or a loose return for easy putaway.

The World Champs were only at 70% I think .... Compared to them, Tony/Candra were totally committed and ruthless. Played for a big lead before the interval, then slowed down a bit to invite the Danes to attack and make errors.

[eaglehelang]

Btw, Abedeng, did LWW look injured, limp or anything, weird for them to be behnd 0-11 in 3rd set.

And how's WMC play today?

[extremenanopowe]

Wah, only malaysia golden pair left. No kick lah. Jinx stadium. Better change back to Cheras hall.

[abedeng]

Btw, Abedeng, did LWW look injured, limp or anything, weird for them to be behnd 0-11 in 3rd set.

And how's WMC play today?

LWW didn't look injured, but he was much slower than normal. They struggled hard even against Ong/Tan the night before, almost lost that match too.

Nothing weird, just out of control, they were playing with the drift, most clears went out of baseline, and they were too slow to react at the net.

WMC played better in China Open. She lost out big to Hirose on net exchanges. Had problems closing out game 2 with 6 gamepoints saved. On the other hand, Hirose kept making sideline/baseline clear errors, most glaring in game 3.

I suppose by the end of that hour long battle, Hirose made too many mistakes to giftwrap the match WMC's way. Pity, it was a point for point struggle until 14-12.

[badMania]

Watching the RTM highlight....Wong Mew Choo is definitely not comfortable speaking Malay :o

[eaglehelang]

You also hanging around till wee hrs of the am. I didnt watch that part, but yup WMC's Malay not so good. LCW also, have the chinese educated slang.

[robin7]

Shon Seung Mo almost upset Chen Yu. SSM wasted 3 game points at 20-18 and 21-20 but allowed CY to take 3 straight points to secure the 1st game. It was so close.

I was cheering for Kenneth Jonassen at L2 first row near court 1 with some other Malaysians. When KJ won the match against Bao Chunlai, some audience was "shouting" at KJ to give away his winning racquet but I guess KJ didn't hear it.

Wong Mew Choo almost gave me heart attack when she wasted 5 game points before Eriko Hirose forced a duece. Luckily, WMC secured the 2nd game at her 7 game point.

Lee Chong Wei just a class act as he beat Simon Santoso in straight sets (21-13 21-13) in just 33 mins. During the early stage of 1st game, LCW looked a bit pale, I guess he has still not fully recovered from the flu yet.

[robin7]

Oya, today I managed to meet jasonmichael, hauge & fastdrop during "break" (women's doubles matches). I saw twobeer & met ahsan as well.

[ctjcad]

Okay,tony was also the md world champ. Tony/halim beat 2 koreans pair in sf&final in 2001. Then, I remember when chandra/sigit lost to tony/bach 3 years ago,it hurt me! Why did tony leave bach?Does he still coach us team?I ever heard a rumour that tony will back together with halim,but why that didnt happen?
..maybe these links, among a few in BC, will answer your queries??..;):cool:
