After a good showing yesterday, expect lots of casualties for Team INA today :o

Men's Singles
10:00am Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] vs Alamsyah Yunus -- Djarum vs Pelatnas and Djarum shall prevail.

11:15am Tommy Sugiarto vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui [5] -- a tough match for Tommy, but, Kendrick is not so convincing yesterday.

12:05pm Andreas Adityawarman vs Mohd Roslin Hashim [7] -- ditto for Andreas.

12:30pm Taufik Akbar Hidayat vs Dicky Palyama [16] -- this Taufik has surprised us before and he could probably score another upset?

12:30pm Endra Kurniawan vs Lee Hyun Il [2] -- only the brave will predict a win for Endra.

Women's Doubles
12:55pm Aki Akao/Tomomi Matsuda [6] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- this will be a tough match against the Japanese pair, and I hope Jo/Grace can win! The last time they met, it was an extremely long match, lasting 3 sets and 107 mins in the French Open QF :eek:

1:20pm Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia [3] vs Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda -- no chance for Lita/Nitya.

1:45pm Heather Olver/Liza Smith vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti [8] -- Rani/Endang have yet to convince me and they need at least a QF spot here to strengthen their Olympic hopes.

Men's Doubles
2:35pm Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu vs Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya -- a chance for Fran/Rendra to enter the QF and extend their unbeaten run for the year. Fang/Lee have been on a steady rise and they will be a tough nut to crack :o

3:00pm Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Vitalij Durkin/Alexander Nikolaenko -- it was a good result for Rian/Yoke yesterday and they have a chance of making it 2 out of 2 today.

Women's Singles
4:40pm Eriko Hirose [3] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- bye2 Maria. Her progress will be stopped today.

Mixed Doubles
5:55pm He Hanbin/Yu Yang [1] vs Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti -- He/Yu will definitely be China's no 1 XD pair in the near future. Towi/Yuli will also be handed a huge responsibility by the INA squad. So, they better get used to the tough encounter starting from today.

5:55pm Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii vs Robin Middleton/Liza Smith -- Rijal/Grace also better star winning some titles this year! They have a tricky tie today against the English pair who beat Anggun/Endang yesterday.

I expect Hwang Hye Youn and Eriko Hirose to win today, and to be on collision course :)

i juz hope that roslin hashim 2day will win his match.

go go roslin! :D :D :D

this may get interesting, timezones are hard to coordinate

After a good showing yesterday, expect lots of casualties for Team INA today :o

Women's Doubles
12:55pm Aki Akao/Tomomi Matsuda [6] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- this will be a tough match against the Japanese pair, and I hope Jo/Grace can win! The last time they met, it was an extremely long match, lasting 3 sets and 107 mins in the French Open QF :eek:

1:20pm Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia [3] vs Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda -- no chance for Lita/Nitya.

1:45pm Heather Olver/Liza Smith vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti [8] -- Rani/Endang have yet to convince me and they need at least a QF spot here to strengthen their Olympic hopes.

Yup, Jo/Greysia must collect many points to accompany Vita/Lilyana in Beijing Games as their WR is 24 now. And Rani/Endang really need a breakthrough to improve their stagnant performance.

There's one interesting WS match today, Jiang Yanjiao vs Jun Jae Youn. Although Jiang didn't get any seeding here, she's still potential to overcome Jun this time.

Not a chance! Jun will overcome Jiang ;):D I must be the only Jun supporter on BC today

After a good showing yesterday, expect lots of casualties for Team INA today :o


I agree with your predictions for today almost in everything, badMania. I just think that Fran-Rendra will win today. Maybe in rubber sets, but they will win... :cool: That's my prediction. :p I think Fran-Rendra will only loose to Lee-Jung tomorrow, but they won't loose today... :D

Not a chance! Jun will overcome Jiang ;):D I must be the only Jun supporter on BC today

madbad, are you Korean? :)

madbad, are you Korean? :)

Nope...I just like Jun as a player ;):)

By right, our MD should win. But, Fang/Lee have beaten AG/Joko in Korea Open 2008 and they have improved a lot as I have witnessed it too. So, it will be a tough fight.

wow, Yunus is teaching Andre a lesson 13-7:eek:

Haha, as soon as I said that, Andre puts in a run to even at 13-13

No..Alamsyah is leading.....come on Andre!!!dont want to see Alamsyah as potential of nmber 4 MS for Thomas cup

No..Alamsyah is leading.....come on Andre!!!dont want to see Alamsyah as potential of nmber 4 MS for Thomas cup

Don't worry....Andre is now on the verge of taking it in straight-sets.

Don't worry....Andre is now on the verge of taking it in straight-sets.

You mean Yunus is about to take it in straight games. Check the score ;)

Alamsyah is just 4 pts away from clinching the match.

Lu Yi escapes with a 23-21 win in the 2nd game. Andre fighting back to 16-17

Eh sorry...I looked at the wrong one :eek::mad::cool:

No..Alamsyah is leading.....come on Andre!!!dont want to see Alamsyah as potential of nmber 4 MS for Thomas cup
INA will DECIDE their MS4 for TC ONLY in this game:cool: :confused:

Andre is closing the gap at 16-17.

Tied at 18-18.........

Oh dear...Alamsyah is actually leading....now Andre is fighting hard to force a rubber....18-18.

Andrea regains the lead 19-18.

Is it gonna be a rubber? Tied at 19-all.

Is gonna be a rubber.....

Not sure yet....19-19 now.

Match pt for Alamsyah 20-19 :o:mad:
Saved by Andre...20-20.

No, match pt for Alamsyah. Duece.

Come On yunus !!!!!

Second match pt...21-20 :mad:
Saved yet again. Come on Andre!!!

saved by andre 21-21!!

Two match pts saved. 21-all now.

Now....Andre has a game pt...22-21. He takes the second set 23-21!

Andre pulls it off 23-21. Can't see Yunus coming back now

What a waste of chances by YUNUS !!! :mad:

Game pt for Andrea 22-21. Yes he took it.

Game pt for Andrea 22-21. Yes he took it.

Hey Robin7, are you thinking about a girl? ;):D

Andre pulls it off 23-21. Can't see Yunus coming back now

What a waste of chances by YUNUS !!! :mad:
Andrea will win the rubber.

Andrea will win the rubber.

LOL...robin keeps referring to Andre as Andrea (since last year :o)

Its time for Taiwanese MS to shine , they've been quite long under the the shadow of their doubles' counterpart.

Andre is a mentally tough player. See... he took the 2nd game 23-21. Andre is also extemely fit. He can wear [the also fit] Alamsyah down...

Andre is a mentally tough player. See... he took the 2nd game 23-21. Andre is also extemely fit. He can wear [the also fit] Alamsyah down...

Still close and tight in the rubber-set. This will go past the hour mark for sure.

Its time for Taiwanes MS to shine , they've been quite long under the the shadow of their doubles' counterpart.

From what I know, the best Taiwanese MS of all time was Fung Permadi in the late 1990s... And he was Indonesian. He played for Taiwan because his mom divorced his Indonesian father and then married a Taiwanese... :p

LOL...robin keeps referring to Andre as Andrea (since last year :o)
Oops, I didn't notice!:o

From what I know, the best Taiwanese MS of all time was Fung Permadi in the late 1990s... And he was Indonesian. He played for Taiwan because his mom divorced his Indonesian father and then married a Taiwanese... :p

I thought Fung is still an Indonesian :cool:? Anyway, he has returned back to INA and is now Djarum's manager right?

Yunus still putting up a good fight, down 7-8

Andre and Yunus still duking it out, 10-8 in the decider

The winner is ...... Sho Sasaki. Anyone of them will be too tired to take on the Samurai after this game.

Yunus pulls even to 10-10

Pretty uneventful thus far. All the favoured players have won handily

no..no..12 all again...Alamsyah is so petite

I thought Fung is still an Indonesian :cool:? Anyway, he has returned back to INA and is now Djarum's manager right?

Yes, his citizenship is Indonesian. I think he has a Taiwanese green card or something. Like Tony Gunawan in the USA... ;)

Tommy vs Kendrik
Gong vs the future of DEN...Jogersen....very interesting matches to come

Gee...67 minutes between Alamsyah and Andre...soon will be 80 minutes

Tago lost first set 17-21 to Denmark

From the statistics, Andre is attacking more in game 3. 7 smash winners vs. 2 from Alamsyah. But Alam got 10 points from 'others'... including unforced errors from Andre... Maybe Andre is just playing a higher risk game...

I expect Kendrick to continue his run of form. Yunus holding the upperhand 16-13. Kenichi has woken up, leads 8-1.

Camon, Yunus, u deserve to win... Sorry Andre (I spell it right this time).

Yes ! Yunus ! You Are The Man.
5 More Pts !

Yunus is 4 pts away... Camon, don't repeat the 2nd game...

Yunus stretches the lead to 18-14, no 18-15

The winner is ...... Sho Sasaki. Anyone of them will be too tired to take on the Samurai after this game.

You're right! :( Both Andre and Alam played 3 games yesterday too... :( They cannot keep this up for the whole tournament... :(

Still 15-18 in favor of Alam now....

Looks like Alamsyah gonna win

Hsieh making life difficult for SSM, up 12-10

Oh dear, Andre is catching up from 14-18 to 17-18.

Alam keeps collecting points from 'others'... 14 out of his 18 points are from 'others'...

17-18 now... Andre catching up.

YES!! 18 all..............sigh!

Like the second set...very tense 17-18...18-18 now.
Come on Andre!!!

Oh no, Andre has erased the lead 18-18.

oh my god!! the match between tedjono and alamsyah is about 74 minutes now :-O

deadlock between andre-yunus, 18-18

Andre keeps smashing and attacking the net!
9 smash winners vs. 2
5 net winners vs. 2

19-18 now! Don't let up, Andre!

Amndre leads 1 point...19-18

Andre surges ahead 19-18, despite trailing 14-18 just now!

Oh boys, Andre regains the lead...

Andre at match point 20-18

Match point for Andre......

Match pt for Andre 20-18!

10 smash winner now! 20-18 Andre!

YES!! Andre won in 76 minutes...hm,...lets see he has energy or not for tomorrow against sasaki

He trails all match but pulls one out of the fire. Andre wins 21-18 in the rubber

7 all for Tommy and Kendrik

Game to Andre! Ladies and Gentlemen... it is quite clear who should represent the number 4 INA MS in the May 2008 Thomas Cup now! Andre is much higher ranked, fitter, more experienced, and mentally tougher than Alam and Tommy!

****, 7 straight pts from 14-18 down to win the match.

It's all over...a very entertaining match that lasted 76 mins :o:eek:
Andre Kurniawan Tedjono marches on to face Sho Sasaki later on, with a rubber-set 17-21, 23-21, 21-18 victory over Alamsyah Yunus. Alam simply freezed at 18-14 :eek: He also wasted 2 match pts in the second set.

He trails all match but pulls one out of the fire. Andre wins 21-18 in the rubber
Similar to MAS Open..he trailed Eric Pang 2nd and 3rd, both ended 22-20...;)

Game to Andre! Ladies and Gentlemen... it is quite clear who should represent the number 4 INA MS in the Thomas Cup now! Andre

Haha...Fully Support!!! Who knows Andre could be our trump card? What abt Rian/Yoke as a backup doubles pair to replace AG/Joko?

SSM finally passes Hsieh 19-17. Kenichi at game point 20-11

YES!! Andre won in 76 minutes...hm,...lets see he has energy or not for tomorrow against sasaki

Not tomorrow...its TONIGHT in German!

Andre is showing the PBSI selectors on how good his mental strength by coming from behind all the times.

The game against Sho Sasaki will be later today. If he can also show his supreme fitness level by winning, the 4th spot for Thomas Cup is confirmed.

Game to Andre! Ladies and Gentlemen... it is quite clear who should represent the number 4 INA MS in the May 2008 Thomas Cup now! Andre is much higher ranked, fitter, more experienced, and mentally tougher than Alam and Tommy!
Hope there is no politic involved....PBSI should be fair and call potential players to9 fight for number 4...so far is Andre...honestly there is no need for PBSI to do selection....

Tommy hanging with Kendrick 9-11. Gong making a move on Jan O, 7-9

SSM won..as well as my PAW...hehe

What about Tommy? if he pulls an upset against Kenderick Lee, God knows he will be selected ahead of Andre for the MS4 Slot

What about Tommy? if he pulls an upset against Kenderick Lee, God knows he will be selected ahead of Andre for the MS4 Slot

I think Andre is a little ahead of Tommy at the moment, and also stronger mentally.

What about Tommy? if he pulls an upset against Kenderick Lee, God knows he will be selected ahead of Andre for the MS4 Slot

Tommy's performance is less stable than Andre. As Krisna mentioned, Andre has a fighting spirit that is better than either Tommy or Alamsyah.

I think Tommy is trying to prove us all wrong, leads 16-15

Ladies and Gentlemen... it is quite clear who should represent the number 4 INA MS in the May 2008 Thomas Cup now! Andre is much higher ranked, fitter, more experienced, and mentally tougher than Alam and Tommy!

Yup, he gets my vote ........ :D. Great comeback, ala WMC in China Open.

Haha...Fully Support!!! Who knows Andre could be our trump card? What abt Rian/Yoke as a backup doubles pair to replace AG/Joko?

Possible... yet still can be debated... Joko-Hendra are higher ranked than Rian-Yoke at this point... The Andre case will get more support from many fronts... :) If Rian-Yoke do really well in this German Open [SF or better] and somehow trouble [or even beat] Cai-Fu at the All England championship next week... then the number 3 doubles spot can possibly be considered for them... ;)

Tommy an d Gong have match point

Oops....20 all for Tommy and Kendrik

Gong wins 21-17. Tommy 20-20 Kendrick

And just like that Kendrick wraps it up 22-20

Kendrik scored 3 straight point to seal first set 22-20

Tommy's performance is less stable than Andre. As Krisna mentioned, Andre has a fighting spirit that is better than either Tommy or Alamsyah.

Andre is a great teammate to have in a team... He is respectful of all his teammates... Win or loose his body gestures and attitude is like a bull [no fear of fighting against anything] and never loose hope of winning. They call him 'Andre Banteng' [Andre the bull] in the badminton circle here... :D

Kenichi up 15-11 in the rubber v Jan O

Guys now you know why Tommy won't make it....he led 20-19, only for Kendrick to snap 3 pts to seal the first set. I don't expect him to win this one here :cool::eek:

Tago was ahead in 3rd set now..16-14 instead

Tommy surges ahead 4-0 to open the 2nd. Kenichi 17-14 Jan O

Tommy an d Gong have match point

Oh poor Kendrick! He was beaten in Singapore by Alamsyah before.
Kendrick, fight back. After it is only Tommy, not the father! :)

Kenichi up 15-11 in the rubber v Jan O
You mean Martin Lasrsen...Jan is against Gong...;)

So fast Tommy leads 8-1

Oh poor Kendrick! He was beaten in Singapore by Alamsyah before.
Kendrick, fight back. After it is only Tommy, not the father! :)
Wow...you have reached over 5000 posts...hehe

Tommy really putting the boots to Kendrick 8-3.
Kenichi finishes it off 21-15
Gong also up comfortably 8-2

Come on Tien Minh, let's see an upset!

Knedik is catching up...from 2-8 to 5-8

Knedik is catching up...from 2-8 to 5-8

Hehehe, you must be typing really quickly

Gong really "gonging" Jan O 13-3

Hehehe, you must be typing really quickly
:D:D...yep.......................

Yawn...from 1-8, now 7-11. I am rooting for Kendrick to win :p

What a weird match, Tommy reels off a bunch of points and now leads 14-7

Oh wow, Tommy now leading 15-7 in game 2...

NTM claws back to 6-6 against Sato

Gong polishes off Jan O 21-17, 21-7

come on Sugiarto...take this 2nd game

Tommy and Kendrik will settle the 3rd set soon...19-11

Surprise, surprise, Tommy came back to level it at one-set a piece...21-11 in the second set.

Tommy had a chance to seal first set....here we go for 3rd set

Disadvantage for Kendrik is he played many matches last week ...I guess Tommy is abit fresher if he wins.......

The top half of MS R16 is settled now:
Park Sung Hwan [1] vs Lu Yi [14] -- an interesting encounter. Lu Yi's victory probably will make it easier for Andre to progress later on?

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] vs Sho Sasaki [13] -- Andre survived a tough match just now...I still have faith in him reaching at least the QF and fulfills his 8th seeding.

Eric Pang vs Marc Zwiebler -- Pang to win!

Kenichi Tago vs Shon Sheung Mo -- the young gun might surprise us, but, Shon is slowly back to his 2004 form perhaps? :eek:

Look's like I am going to be wrong as Tommy is leading 11-6 at the interval of the rubber set :cool: It's going to be a battle between Tommy and Andre at this moment.

wow...10-4 or Tommy.............may be Kendrik is tired

Go Tommy, I guess he's the only Hoping youngster in pelatnas at the moment.

Wow...you have reached over 5000 posts...hehe

Hau-ge, I think very soon you will set an all-time BC record, at the rate you're going! :rolleyes:

Kendrick is slowly catching up....from 2-10...now he cuts the deficit into just 4 pts at 8-12.

14-9 so far for Tommy..........

Yes Kendrick JIA YOU!!! :)

Tommy still has a 6 pts lead at 17-11.

If Tommy wins, he will face Gong...last time Tommy lost to Gong in 2 sets ( Macau Open)

Lets catch up on saturday when I arrive in Singapore.......

Will you be as tired as Kendrick, globetrotter? :D

Well well well, Tommy is on the verge of winning the match against Kendrick.

Match point for Tommy..20-13

Our Hau-Ge has gone through the motion...hehe...

No..I will sleep.....

Tommy won................21-14

Congrats Tommy, and waiting for another surprise with Andreas.....who knows ...

Tommy Sugiarto makes it 2 INA MS so far in the R16 as he beat Kendrick Lee 20-22, 21-11, 21-14. He will face Gong Weijie next.

Too bad I did not PAW on Tommmy...hehe would not think he would win.....tough against Gong in next round

Well well well, Tommy is on the verge of winning the match against Kendrick.

Well Kendrick's recent brilliant run seems to come to an end! The signs were on the wall during the TC matches. Sad for Singapore. :(

Congrats Tommy, and waiting for another surprise with Andreas.....who knows ...
For the sake of my PAWs........:D

Is Gong a young Chinese player?

Is Gong a young Chinese player?
YES...he used to be top junior then dissapeared...but he made come back last year...

Hey, man of little faith, pluck up more courage the next time. Pick Tommy to redeem yourself! :D

Jo/Grace are locked in a tight battle (as always) with the Japanese gals....leading 11-9 in the rubber-set now. Fortunately, they don't have to play like the last time they met....107 mins :eek:

na, give u tissue paper to wipe ur :crying:

me too, share same fate...:crying:
Don't worry..We are on the same boat..:D:D

yep..I lost 2 big PAWs...hu...hu..hu

Luckily, I am wise enough not to bet on those INA players :p

Lita/Nitya are giving their best now as they are tied 16-16, after trailing big time.

Jo/Grace are extending their lead to 19-12 now...
Lita/Nitya just lost the first set 18-21. Good effort though...

It is about the time jo/greys prove them self where they belong

Come on Jo Gres...finish it.....

The pts are now very slow near the end of the match....injury perhaps?

Ohhh man the Bona-Ahsan disease

Nitya has been teased as " India from Papua" may be her last name Maheswari...hehe

The Japanese gals claw back now....16-19. Dangerous.....

come on..from 12-19 now 15-19....pls..pls win.......

looking at the score now, definitely not another 107 minutes battle for INA & JAP....

Jo/Grace have been stuck at 19 for quite some time now....it's now 17-19 :eek:

haiya...16-19 now..

but Jap is closing the gap now...

match point...finish it

match point liao, nasib, nasib

Phew...the 20th pt eventually arrives after a 10 mins wait :eek:

yay.....congrats jo/greys
btw looks good on nitya/Lita

Finallyis about time they win it

My God...so scary!!! 21-18...for Jo Gres
