Those will be spared the snow and chill in Seoul if they return home tomorrow:
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan
Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi
Jo Novita (Greysia Polii will have to wait :D)
Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti
Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda
Devin Lahardi
Nova Widianto
Simon Santoso
Adriyanti Firdasari

Those on course to return home on Saturday (if there's no upset)
Sony Dwi Kuncoro
Lilyana Natsir
Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii
Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto

I think only Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa can stay on till the Final, unless of course they decide not to have fun in the snow as well and go back early on Sunday.

So, its gonna be Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto in the QF tomorrow. Another thrilling match in store. Luluk/Alvent last beat the Korean pair in the Asian Games SF to claim a place in the Final.

Lee Hyun Il forces a rubber-set after taking the second set 21-17.

[spchu]

Rubber it is then.....Come on Chong Wei dont let those Paw against u win...:)

[spchu]

and does those Paws count now for Lee HI?

[robin7]

[Jessica]

[george@chongwei]

who win???............................

[xsakurax]

what happen?T_T why the game is over?

[vching]

HUH????????????????????????

ants???

[badMania]

Ok...appears that Lee Chong Wei has decided to fly back home early too. He has had enough with the snow and chill. So, Lee Hyun Il saves his energy for a match against his compatriot Park Sung Hwan.

So, that makes it 5 out of 5 Malaysia Open winners ALL OUT BY R16! What a statistics!

[Maximum]

wat happen??? is it the livescore n tourney software's problem or LCW walkover???

[Jessica]

and does those Paws count now for Lee HI?
You still care for PAW now...:crying::(

[vching]

hopefully not another guangzhou!

[eaglehelang]

hiyaa, it shows, no 3rd game, LCW retire. sick kah?

[carine]

LHI won...LCW retired

[vching]

You still care for PAW now...:crying::(

memang realistic......

WHAT HAPPENED???

[george@chongwei]

**** **** lee hyun ill won the match!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::rolleyes::mad ::mad::mad::mad:

[spchu]

You still care for PAW now...:crying::(

Sorry Jessica.....:crying::(

[badMania]

hiyaa, it shows, no 3rd game, LCW retire. sick kah?

Very likely....retirement...same like CCM/CCE.

The bug is really affecting many players now.

[Jessica]

Sigh..Really a bad day today..First,Nadal lost..Then,LCW retired..

[carolynwg]

wat's dat?
wat happen 2 lcw????

[xsakurax]

hopefully lcw is okay >.< i dun wan him to be injured T_T

[eaglehelang]

Weird, after CCM/CCE retire, LCW also retire. Hope it's not due to bad line calls.

[vching]

ok, can we stop asking the same question and maybe wait for an explanation from maybe ants who is there....

[Jessica]

Sorry Jessica.....:crying::(
Never mind..:)I am just kidding..:D

[Louisa]

I think, looking at both cce/ccm + lcw retired....cant be so coincidence lei...might be something happen to line judges + umpires?????

[badMania]

Weird, after CCM/CCE retire, LCW also retire. Hope it's not due to bad line calls.

CCM/CCE are so trailing so far. I doubt its line calls. More likely will be injuries.

[robin7]

Weird, after CCM/CCE retire, LCW also retire. Hope it's not due to bad line calls.
I suspect............

[Maximum]

both retired... guess malaysian camp is very united after all...

[george@chongwei]

damn it!!
lee chong wei lost!:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::mad: :mad::mad::mad::crying::crying::mad::mad::mad::cry ing::crying:

[vching]

I suspect............

that i suspect too, but lets wait for explanation before jumping to conclusions....

[eaglehelang]

Maybe Ants is contacting CCM now to find what happened to them
But is weird cos both Msia also retire

[Jessica]

Actually,i hope LCW retired because of the biased call than he is injured..I am prying now he is not injured..

[carolynwg]

cw lost oso nvm.. as long as he is nt injured.. PLS !!!!!!

[vching]

its funny....

you see players that retired have RETIRED next to the score, but then both of them dun have retired next to their scores...

[eaglehelang]

I suspect............

Robin7, hiyaaaa, you make the prediction came true, hiyaaaa

[kungfukid]

last 3 matches retired, wat a coincidence!!

[george@chongwei]

haizzz.
a bad day for malaysia camp!:rolleyes::rolleyes::(:o:mad::crying::crying: :eek:

[samuel882]

bad bad news !:eek:
Lee CW suffered a serious broken knees, will be out of action until after the olympics:rolleyes::o :p

[vching]

[Maximum]

yaya... i rather them to be sick than injured... no injuries pls, to every single player in korean ss...

[eaglehelang]

its funny....

you see players that retired have RETIRED next to the score, but then both of them dun have retired next to their scores...

The Indonesia vs Denmark one later only they put up the "retired" sign.
Yeah last 3 matches all retired, maybe snow came into the stadium. Too cold for them, he he

[spchu]

Robin7, hiyaaaa, you make the prediction came true, hiyaaaa

Robin better predict our remaining women doubles to go all the way to win this tournament...

[george@chongwei]

Aiyo..Samuel,you better don't make such joke..Many peoples will be worry.:(

[waile]

the malaysian pair also retired halfway... is it becoz of controversial line calls?

[Maximum]

[X Ball]

LCW retired to fight another day -- that is how I see it. :)

[vching]

Chew Choon Eng got injured...

[qwertyu]

A power failure with a rule that the host should win....

[Louisa]

Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto

I think only Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa can stay on till the Final, unless of course they decide not to have fun in the snow as well and go back early on Sunday.

but my feeling goes to Vita/Lyliana can handle the CHN WD...depen on how the XD match of Rijal/Polli vs FlaVi...:p:cool:

[ants]

Lee Chong Wei not feeling well... he was sick. Can't continue his match.

[xymaerts]

where can we got office news about LCW !! as he retire

[eaglehelang]

Chew Choon Eng got injured...

Guess as much you'll dissappear get the news
LCW also retired, they are wondering why same time also retire with CCM/CCE

[Jessica]

Bad day for Malaysia..Never mind,i will cheer for our neighbour Indonesia and Thailand..

[Louisa]

Louisa..Calm down...Hopefully LCW nothing serious..Don't bother him..:)
like u, i hope our Mas camp withdrew due to bad calls, rather than injuries....u know, LYB will be so happy, if whatUncle Sam claimed is correct!

[zqloy]

Lee Chong Wei not feeling well... he was sick. Can't continue his match.

Phew.... doesnt sounded too bad. Hving fever or sth? Plz get well soon Chong Wei!

[qwertyu]

the snow in seoul is too strong and the only the host can tahan...

[carolynwg]

so wat's da true ting happen 2 cw !!! Hw can b broken knee? He juz score 4 consecutive points in 2nd game b4 losing.. fever or stomache oni izit? dun scare me plsssssss

[eaglehelang]

wah, LCW sick also can win 1st set
The Korean bug is bad, caught them

[vching]

Louisa..Calm down...Hopefully LCW nothing serious..Don't bother him..:)

samuel882 shouldnt make jokes like that! Making jokes at other people's expense... :mad::mad::mad:

[ants]

As i've mentioned earlier.. Choon Eng got injured while playing. LCW was not feeling good when he was playing against LHI.. He can't continue on the 3rd set. There was no bias calls whatsoever.

[badMania]

Amazing really....so...all the 5 winners this week will be "new" :D

My prediction:
MS -- Lin Dan
WS -- the Chinese contingent appears unaffected...but...we shall see tomorrow
MD -- another close call....Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen, Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae or Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun
WD -- if Vita/Butet can beat the Chinese pair, they stand a chance, if not, Chinese pair again as usual.
XD -- Flandy/Vita or Xie/Zhang or Sudket/Saralee

[nmy3889]

broken knee??? that's too serious...xcept if LHI uses LYB's "break his leg" tactic...haha...

[samuel882]

u guys are sooooo CUTE :) ;)

[xsakurax]

wah, LCW sick also can win 1st set
The Korean bug is bad, caught them

yeah~~Lcw is very so good~!^_^ Rest well lcw ~~!

[Louisa]

He is trying to be funny or something? :mad:

[george@chongwei]

[Jessica]

Ok..Louisa..Do you still want to be with me to support our neighbour Indonesia and Thailand tomorrow???:D:D:DOf course our WD Chin/Wong too..

[samuel882]

this is not funny at all..!
i got this message flashed from a China team member @ Seoul :o

[xymaerts]

so wat is wrong with LCW...Internet news so fast..but yet we are stuck in no way ...

[badMania]

My God, the weather is worse than I think......even colder than some European countries?????

[ants]

Definately not a good day for Malaysia. Only our Women's doubles is left in the tournament. All is out.

[Louisa]

samuel882 shouldnt make jokes like that! Making jokes at other people's expense... :mad::mad::mad:


He is trying to be funny or something? :mad:
ok, guys, since lcw is alright..........so, lets give Uncle Sam a rest...I think he merely wants to release us from the tense just now...........:)

[waile]

good also now the msian players can play with snow... if not for the first time in their life:P

[eaglehelang]

so wat is wrong with LCW...Internet news so fast..but yet we are stuck in no way ...

Ants already asked & made the announcement 2X. scroll back and READ

[badMania]

It must be the weather!!! To be playing (even though its indoor) at 0 degree celcius is no fun :o

[samuel882]

My God, the weather is worse than I think......even colder than some European countries?????
Koo/Tan should be sent there. :cool:
they played well in cold weather conditon ;)

[Louisa]

Ok..Louisa..Do you still want to be with me to support our neighbour Indonesia and Thailand tomorrow???:D:D:DOf course our WD Chin/Wong too..
yes....definitely.........:D

[badMania]

Definately not a good day for Malaysia. Only our Women's doubles is left in the tournament. All is out.

How do u feel in the stadium? Cold? Do they have heater inside the stadium??

Its 10 degree in HKG right now and I am already freezing...even though I am inside.

[eaglehelang]

My God, the weather is worse than I think......even colder than some European countries?????

The weather you posted for real? That's coooooolllllddd for us Asians.

[badMania]

The weather you posted for real? That's coooooolllllddd for us Asians.

Its taken from Yahoo anyway.

In the HK Observatory forecast: Seoul's weather will be -9 to -1 degree celcius for tomorrow (cloudy).

[badMania]

In comparison, Birmingham is 3 to 6 degree (where the All England will be played).

[eaglehelang]

Its taken from Yahoo anyway.

In the HK Observatory forecast: Seoul's weather will be -9 to -1 degree celcius for tomorrow (cloudy).

LOL, due to Samuel joke on LCW getting broken knee, I was thinking you're joking abt Korea cold weather - cos everybody to retire, last 3 matches, all retired mah.

[badMania]

Of course some places in China are colder:
Beijing -10 to 0 degree
Changchun -21 to -12 degree
Harbin -24 to -14 degree :o
Shenyang -20 to -5 degree

Luckily, the Olympics are held in the SUMMER.

[george@chongwei]

i got this message flashed from a China team member @ Seoul :o
we could sued him for giving the wrong information..!!
heheh:p
juz kiding

[X Ball]

It must be the after effects of his sickness during the MO. He had fever then and expanded a lot of energy - fighting the COLD he had as well as the players he downed.

It was tough to go on to fight more. It has taken its toll on him. Get back home to take "Leong Cha" to get well again.

[badMania]

LOL, due to Samuel joke on LCW getting broken knee, I was thinking you're joking abt Korea cold weather - cos everybody to retire, last 3 matches, all retired mah.

Its no joke.....I thought the weather is milder at 3-10 degrees (that was the weather when I visited Seoul last year....with snow too in the day).

[Jessica]

LCW can shopping with Mew Choo now..So sweat..

[badMania]

It must be the after effects of his sickness during the MO. He had fever then and expanded a lot of energy - fighting the COLD he had as well as the players he downed.

Indeed.....the INA and MAS players can no longer stand the chilly artic condition in Seoul. I would have frozen man...brrrr.......

Not "Leong Cha', too cold. SHould take Korean Ginseng

[badMania]

LCW can shopping with Mew Choo now..So sweat..

Are u kidding me?? Shopping with the weather below 0???

[jesminekia]

all right...seems LCW retired due to he not feeling well not because of injury so no need to be so worry about him.....then they really can play with snow and get a better rest for next tournament..hehe!!!!!!

[X Ball]

As a result, Lin Dan would not get any satisfaction here without LCW. :)

[eaglehelang]

Its no joke.....I thought the weather is milder at 3-10 degrees (that was the weather when I visited Seoul last year....with snow too in the day).

I was just RLOL just now, you were listing the weather forecast,one by one :D:D.
But anyway, these ppl were freaking out abt what happened. Now they can calm now.

[george@chongwei]

lee chong wei dont want to play in the rubber set plus he had fever so he decided to went back to celebarte CNY with his family and wong mew choo!..

[badMania]

As a result, Lin Dan would not get any satisfaction here without LCW. :)

Sony will be glad if Lin Dan decides to go back home also to accompany his dearest GF :D

[badMania]

I was just RLOL just now, you were listing the weather forecast,one by one :D:D.

Luckily, our Hau-Ge and fastdrop made a wise decision not to go to Seoul.

[X Ball]

Not "Leong Cha', too cold. SHould take Korean Ginseng

Ok maybe not 'leong cha' but perhaps the Malaysian equivalent to ginseng, the aphrodisiac cum energizer called 'Tongkat Ali'. It will put hair on his chest as well.:D

[eaglehelang]

LCW can shopping with Mew Choo now..So sweat..


Indeed.....the INA and MAS players can no longer stand the chilly artic condition in Seoul. I would have frozen man...brrrr.......

LCW sicklah Jessica, cannot shopping. Watch snow from hotel room can lah.

Badmania - you stay in HK with 4 season also feel cold, brrrrrr, I feel cold at 15 degrees.

Nvm, they can fly back to sunny Msia & Indonesia...., last year the players not so effected, maybe not so cold in 2007

[badMania]

Looks like despite the loss, most MAS fans here are in a pretty good mood today.

[Dreamzz]

what a shame for LCW, oh well, a rest will do him good.

it will be interesting to watch LD vs LHI in the final ... 2 of the best lefties.

[X Ball]

Sony will be glad if Lin Dan decides to go back home also to accompany his dearest GF :D



Can't blame him if he does go home to see 'Double X' FANG. :D

[vching]

It must be the after effects of his sickness during the MO. He had fever then and expanded a lot of energy - fighting the COLD he had as well as the players he downed.

It was tough to go on to fight more. It has taken its toll on him. Get back home to take "Leong Cha" to get well again.

leong cha will make it worse.... LEONG cha makes the body cold!

[badMania]

Badmania - you stay in HK with 4 season also feel cold, brrrrrr, I feel cold at 15 degrees.


The winter here is pretty mild.....but I already feel the cold this afternoon....caught in a surprise because I thought the weather was pretty mild at 14-17. It turned up that there's a cold weather warning signal being put up in late morning :o

Now, I am going to go back in the cold.

[vching]

Looks like despite the loss, most MAS fans here are in a pretty good mood today.

thts coz we know we didnt send a full strength team to seoul.

[Louisa]

X Ball, i think u got to make the 'liang teh' for lcw n give to him at KLIA.....

[xymaerts]

What is LCW means by not feeling good? He is not feeling well or what..?

As i've mentioned earlier.. Choon Eng got injured while playing. LCW was not feeling good when he was playing against LHI.. He can't continue on the 3rd set. There was no bias calls whatsoever.

[Louisa]

Looks like despite the loss, most MAS fans here are in a pretty good mood today.
We enjoy good fight, good match n fair play....that's what we want...so, if our players lost after trying hard, why should we be bad mood??? We will only get angry with player like yoyo, the king:D

[badMania]

We enjoy good fight, good match n fair play....that's what we want...so, if our players lost after trying hard, why should we be bad mood??? We will only get angry with player like yoyo, the king:D

That's the spirit :D:D

Many INA players went out too....including both World Champions...but...it's all right :o

[ants]

Chong Wei was not feelig well even when he arrived in Korea. Anyway he tried his best to play.. but just cant pull thru for 3rd set. CCE however got injured, some slight knee injury but not serious. So its a close call.

[X Ball]

X Ball, i think u got to make the 'liang teh' for lcw n give to him at KLIA.....

Somehow I think that is Mew Choo's duty.;)

[eaglehelang]

We enjoy good fight, good match n fair play....that's what we want...so, if our players lost after trying hard, why should we be bad mood??? We will only get angry with player like yoyo, the king:D

Like our 'tai ko' WCH, fight very hard with BCL.
And our young & upcoming Julia Wong, drag ZN to 3 sets.
Unfortunately Courageous Shortie could NOT pull Fuzzy out of the fuzzy cold condition... sigh.

CCM/CCE was fighting like true warriors, until.....retire....

[eaglehelang]

Chong Wei was not feelig well even when he arrived in Korea. Anyway he tried his best to play.. but just cant pull thru for 3rd set. CCE however got injured, some slight knee injury but not serious. So its a close call.

Thanks for the lastest updates Ants. If not, they will be freaking out like crazy

[eaglehelang]

What is LCW means by not feeling good? He is not feeling well or what..?

Btw, Xymaerts, thanks for all your hard work in uploading LCw's matches over at the other thread. You recorded Finals with RTM cos of Astro commentator bad kah? Or Astro last Sun bad reception?

Dont worry, LCW will be ok. Thomas Cup qualifiers is aft CNY

We can understand that -- he thought he was ok because he could and play and win with his fever in the MO so why not the KO.

No issue with me if he quited because of his fever.

Like our 'tai ko' WCH, fight very hard with BCL.
And our young & upcoming Julia Wong, drag ZN to 3 sets.
Unfortunately Courageous Shortie could NOT pull Fuzzy out of the fuzzy cold condition... sigh.

CCM/CCE was fighting like true warriors, until.....retire....
yes, agree....though result is important, we still need to look at the process...for today, I am proud of our players...for putting up a good fight...

At least LCW get some OG points, that was his goal.
A BCer posted that PG is playing with broken rib, wow, cos need OG pts & didnt go MO last week, need to catch up.

Yes, thanks for the updates Ants. I was a little worried with those earlier rumours, but I trust you're a reliable source and we can count on you! :)

[Louisa]

Somehow I think that is Mew Choo's duty.;)
hahahahahaha,,,,,,,,have to agree 100% with you:D

[carine]

hope lcw n cce recover soon...

[K Genetics]

As i've mentioned earlier.. Choon Eng got injured while playing. LCW was not feeling good when he was playing against LHI.. He can't continue on the 3rd set. There was no bias calls whatsoever.

Thanks Ants, this releases our worries. :)

[chris-ccc]

I was informed that many players (and spectators) who were at the Malaysia Open SS 2008 last week, contracted fever, flu, sore throat, etc...

Thank you for your reports ants. They have made us less worried.

Yes, it was reported that many players who attended the MO SS 2008 last week contracted the flu.

LCW should be able to overcome the flu before the AE 2008. And we hope that what you said about CCE is true too... that is "got injured, some slight knee injury but not serious".

[V3i HoN6]

what a riddance.
Luckily no serious injury happened.
how about the other indonesia and denmark pairs that retired?

[extremenanopowe]

so what did I missed?

[extremenanopowe]

hmmm live score hanging. To many followers? Logout please.... hehe.

[alohio12]

Are the Taiwanese the same pair who beat Koo and Tan?

yea they are. it was tsai/hu that beat koo/tan, not lee/fang

[cheeyf]

Wow according to Robin's predictions only Women double can enter quarters... That's like a tragedy to Malaysian Badminton if that happens.


I just check all the results today.Robin's prediction for mas is true today with only wpt/ceh advancing to quarter finals.not a good day for mas but at least the players gave their best especially wch n julia. hope lcw n cce will recover fast.

[Jessica]

hahahahahaha,,,,,,,,have to agree 100% with you:D
Aiyo..Kawan,still not asleep yet???Remember,we must support our neighbour with full force tomorrow...:D:D:D

omg,max:-4 degree celcius,that's really freezing! how can south-east Asian players stand it..

[cooler]

As a result, Lin Dan would not get any satisfaction here without LCW. :)no worry, a MS title at Korea Open would more than make up for that.

[ye333]

With LCW out, a MS title for LD seems guaranteed.


no worry, a MS title at Korea Open would more than make up for that.

Pshaw,

in Ottawa this week it's been -23, -11, -15, and -19 celsius ... still not as bad as Beijing in 84 w/ no heat due to a coal shortage :crying:. Get a jacket man and a toque :p. Come to Canada, all our outerwear stores are having 30% sale right know :rolleyes:.

to be honest. they just have to brave it. it is part of the job.

-4C is not too bad. back in the east, we used to have -20F weather, and all my SE Asian friends did ok. back in the UK, we used to go out to play badminton when it is way below zero and snowing outside.

badminton players are tougher than you think.

You're talking about playing outdoor or going out to play indoor? If you played outdoor, would there be any wind blowing shuttlecocks around :confused:

Cold weather can be a curse to many, but a bless to others who are die-hard players and will see less crowded courts :eek::rolleyes::D

thanks goodness it was indoor. but after a while, since school gyms are not heated, indoor and outdoor really aren't that different except indoor doesn't have freezing wind.

ctjcad, you're exaggerating the weather conditions in LA. The snow and ice is about 30 miles north of LA in a mountainous region if you count it as LA. The current temp in LA is 48 F (9 C) :rolleyes:

[V3i HoN6]

Wonder why dont they make it Malaysian Open sequence by Singapore Open.

Then Japan Open pairs with Korea Open.
