Today is All England 1st round ady...since more interesting match will on midnite like LCW,KKK/TBH matches.Anyone of u will watch until midnite?

Watch where? There is no free webstream anymore ... (2 GBP per day from now on or 7 I think for the rest of the week. Correction 5.99 for the whole tournament/1.99 for a single day).
But I see (at least) 2 men's doubles matches should be interesting :cool:.

Some interesting R1 matches to watch:

- WS Xingfang XIE [1] v Pui Yin YIP - will Yippy be able to trouble the # seed?
- MD Lars PAASKE/Jonas RASMUSSEN v Zhendong GUO/Zhongbo XIE - naturally cheering for our Jonas
- MS Sho SASAKI v Sung Hwan PARK. Can Park get revenge for his GO defeat?
- WS Mi ZHOU v Huaiwen XU [7]. Battle of 2 former CHN players
- MS Shoji SATO v Boonsak PONSANA. Is Boonsak ready to step it up again?
- MD Mohd Zakry ABDUL LATIF/Mohd Fairuzizuan MOHD TAZARI v Mathias BOE/Carsten MOGENSEN. The underrated DEN pair could go far with an initial win
- MD Kien Keat KOO [3]/Boon Heong TAN v Shintaro IKEDA/Shuichi SAKAMOTO. It's time to shape up or ship out for the MAS glamour boys
- MS Chunlai BAO [3] v Muhammad Hafiz HASHIM. You never know what to expect from Hafiz. I would laugh my ass off if....
- MS Yi LU v Yen Hui Kendrick LEE. Kendrick faces a tricky tie. Needs to rebound from last week
- WD Kumiko OGURA [7]/Reiko SHIOTA v Miyuki MAEDA/Satoko SUETSUNA. Battle of Japan could turn out closer than what many think
- MS Andre Kurniawan TEDJONO v Sony DWI KUNCORO [6]. Can Andre pull off an upset as he fights for the last TC MS spot?

mayb i just wait for the live score until midnight.. mayb will sleep at 7am malaysian time... afternoon is my day to sleep... too many sports this week.. football liverpool vs westham also...

This will be a long day for Team INA.

11:15am Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi vs Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak -- a stern test for the perrenial unlucky guy AG/Joko. Hopefully, they will win this one.

11:35am Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [5] vs Kristof Hopp/Ingo Kindervater -- a tricky one for Tony/Candra, but, they should take this one here.

12:45pm Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti vs Petya Nedeltcheva/Diana Dimova -- as always, Rani/Endang can win at most 1 match for SS level tourneys.

2:15pm Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun [1] vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- it will be a major shock if the Djarum pair can topple the top-seed.

3:00pm Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg [8] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- a tough match for Jo/Grace, but, if they can beat Emms/Kellogg, they have a good chance of making it to QF. I hope they can win!

3:00pm Haw Chiou Hwee/Lim Pek Siah vs Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda Maheswari-- another Malaysian hurdle and I think Lita/Nitya can manage it.

3:00pm Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir vs Kamila Augustyn/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk -- should be a manageable tie for Vita/Butet.

4:30pm Wong Mew Choo [8] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- Wong to win, unless her injury bothers her!

4:30pm Pia Bernadet Zebadiah vs Cheng Shao-Chieh -- the Chinese-Taipei player to win...but...Pia has a chance for an upset.

4:50pm Adriyanti Firdasari vs Lu Lan [3] -- no chance for Firda.

6:00pm Andrew Dabeka vs Taufik Hidayat [7] -- either now or never for Taufik for an All-England title, after 2 years of absence. Should be a good match to stretch his muscles.

6:20pm Tommy Sugiarto vs Andrew Smith -- Tommy has done well in qualifying, beating the more fancied Dicky Palyama. He should have a good chance against Andrew Smith.

7:30pm Devin Lahardi Fitriawan/Lita Nurlita vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- an all-INA contest and Nova/Butet will progress!

8:15pm Tadashi Ohtsuka/Keita Masuda vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] -- a good opener also for Kido/Hendra.

8:15pm Peter Buur Steffensen/Rasmus Mangor Andersen vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto [8] -- a tough and tricky test for Luluk/Alvent. I hope they progress.

9:45pm Andre Kurniawan Tedjono vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [6] -- Sony should prevail!

10:05pm Robert Blair/Imogen Bankier vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [3] -- a breeze for the third-seed.

10:05pm Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [7] vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii -- Rijal/Grace need to start beating top pairs regularly. Let's see if they can spring a surprise here.

hope all the malaysian player will through to the next round..
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

hope all the malaysian player will through to the next round..
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

2:30am. My eyes are still funny from yesterday's session :D

You know, the INA team in 2008 is waaay stronger than the INA team of 2006, eh? :D What a difference 2 years make. We have competitive players and pairs in all sectors [except WS, of course... :o]

It is time we win something in All England!

Taufik, you don't have many more chances... win one now! :cool:

Rian-Yoke, ...er... Cai-Fu might still have jet-lag! Catch them when they're asleep and finish them quickly...

INA 3 WD will kick-@$$ in All England!

Hey, where's Simon Santoso? Is he injured or something?

Hey, where's Simon Santoso? Is he injured or something?[/QUOTE]

Nope, PBSI decided to prepare him at home for Thomas cup is more useful :cool:. In the other he doesnt have enough point for olympic. He needed to be drill in some sector such as serve.

Hey, where's Simon Santoso? Is he injured or something?

Hendrawan mentioned it already in the press.
Simon is being grounded in JKT to prepare him for the Thomas Cup :o
He has no chance of getting an Olympics place anyway :cool:

after XXZ and XXF in OG 04, the same case was happened again.
MS top 10 player can't participated in OG.
I'm really sure Ina's fans can't complained about this, coz they had already got the biggest advantage in OG 04:cool:

Even XXZ participated, there was no quarantee that he would win..MS was very competitive...you had witnessed that LD, even lost to Ronald..who would ever thought that??? again..dont tell me it was luck for RS to win that day.......:cool:

it doesn't matter if XXZ or Anders Boesen can't win the title.
at least, if they can beat TH, it's more than enough.

who is he ah??? cannot la...:D

Hopefully hafiz can beat bao chunlai n also wish that kkk/tbh will win again good luck guys...

in overall, CHN biggest rival is Indonesia.
until now, CHN had already won 8 golds, Ina 5.
if TH failed, CHN 8 vs 4 Ina

Even XXZ participated, there was no quarantee that he would win..MS was very competitive...you had witnessed that LD, even lost to Ronald..who would ever thought that??? again..dont tell me it was luck for RS to win that day.......:cool:

yes, yoyo king Hafiz Hashim (former AE champion) was world wide known as Mr. Inconsistent, but who knows if he can win the OG 04?

it doesn't matter if XXZ or Anders Boesen can't win the title.
at least, if they can beat TH, it's more than enough.
Why you hate TH so much...?? then you complain other forumers toward your players too??? so dont complain!

Let's keep on the topic which is AE 2008 1st round.

WS has started. Wonder if XAY has enough left in her tank to trouble WC 7-7

5 - 2 for ZL

nice figt from YIP..rolling her body...3-2 for XXF

Is there any livescore? for today?

Wishful thinking Hau-Ge :D

Come on Anna!
Bunch of us are on mission to dethrone Madbad...:D:D

Both Chinese players are EXPECTED to go through.
Don't even think about one losing it :o

But of course, I hope "Hak Mui" will surprise Li Yongbo again, just like what she did in Asian Games 2006.

Rice - Pittard 11-8
XXF 6-3
ZL 8-2

Jill Pittard was playing so well in the qualifying rounds. I think that she has a better chance.

Jill closing in now.....with the gap only at 3 pts.

Yip looks tired..cant chase XXF's drop shot

XXF packing more power, 6-3, partly through Yippie errors.

Gill Clark is contemplating more women players to do jump smash like Yippie.

Bunch of us are on mission to dethrone Madbad...:D:D

in that case, go Anna... go Canada

XXF packing more power, 6-3, partly through Yippie errors.

Gill Clark is contemplating more women players to do jump smash like Yippie.

What do you mean, free? I'm paying in GB pounds, you know .....:eek:

8 all now for XXF VS YPY match

XXF forehand a bit weak, must be the bathroom injury.
abedeng..Are you watching live in the stadium now???:confused::rolleyes:

XXF tries to break Yippie rhythm after 8-8 tie.

Yippy leads 9-8

XXF forehand a bit weak, must be the bathroom injury.

It will be a disaster if Xie were to lose this one to Yippy :o

3 more pts for Rice

YPY is leading XXF with 11-7 now...Why so few people here???

Now got more ppl, LTS only on at 8 pm Msia time.

Excellent rally by XXF to level score.

But yippie regains gamept. And she wins!!!!
You bought the day's live stream to watch eh? Clear or not?

can anybody tell me if there is an online tv or sumthing that i could watch?
thanks before...
Yes, but must pay : www.planetbadminton.tv (http://www.planetbadminton.tv)

Is there any livescore? for today?
YES, I'm 'watching' the livescore now. Maybe you try to reboot & see if it works after that?

What do you mean, free? I'm paying in GB pounds, you know .....:eek:

5.99 Pounds for the whole tourney thingy?

Haiya..XXF did not use the ops to finish it..smahed into net..lucky Yip! 9-8

This is great stuff...Anna Rice will break many ppl's heart :p

Anna at match point 20-13

YPY leads before the interval. 11-10

Bye2 Jill Pittard :D:p
I love this!

Meanwhile, Yippy sneaks in a 11-10 lead at the break.

eagle...Will you stay up today for the matches???

Down 10-11, XXF should start worrying.

She doesn't look fit enough.

Haiya..Jill Lost......eerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Bye2 Jill Pittard :D:p
I love this!

Meanwhile, Yippy sneaks in a 11-10 lead at the break.
:eek:...Oh no..For the PAW game,everyone is going all out now..:D:D:rolleyes:

Not only does Yippie do jump smashes, she does dives too ....

XXF got frustrated a lot.

:eek:...Oh no..For the PAW game,everyone is going all out now..:D:D:rolleyes:

I didn't pick Jill though :o:p

Hehehe, many greedy PAWers lost because of Jill Pittard. :D:D

Let me tell you something, Anna Rice isn't that bad, OK. Just because she's Canadian doesn't mean she's a pylon. In fact she plays full time in Denmark so knows the UK/Euro player styles pretty well.

Not only does Yippie do jump smashes, she does dives too ....

XXF got frustrated a lot.

Sounds similar to the China Open match between Xie and Wong. Wong really took Xie to the limit. We'll see if Yippy can have the stamina to see her winning this one.

Yip leading 14-12 now

More errors at the sideline gives Yippie 14-12 lead.

Hehehe, many greedy PAWers lost because of Jill Pittard. :D:D

Let me tell you something, Anna Rice isn't that bad, OK. Just because she's Canadian doesn't mean she's a pylon. In fact she plays full time in Denmark so knows the UK/Euro player styles pretty well.

Yup....she actually beat Yip Pui Yin in one previous encounter and made me lost a PAW on her :o

ZL has demolished Mori 21-9 in the 2nd
CHN 14-10 DEN in MD
Yippy 15-13 XXF

Yippy is just 5 pts away from the finish line now!

XXF is in trouble, ZL proceeds to the next round...

ZL has demolished Mori 21-9 in the 2nd


Expected...what I didn't expect was Mori stretching Zhu Lin in the first set.

Even now, the body language is showing XXF's lack of confidence. Excellent drop shot by Yippie. 16-13.

Yup....she actually beat Yip Pui Yin in one previous encounter and made me lost a PAW on her :o

I'm keeping my eyes on your PAW picks :D:D:D

Dangerous for XXF now...........

5.99 Pounds for the whole tourney thingy?

Where you saw it's 5.99 pounds ah Badmania? I saw it's 4.06 pounds or US$7.99. Daily is US$1.99

More errors at the sideline gives Yippie 14-12 lead.
abedeng, where r u now? seems like u r watching live?:eek:

Xie refuses to yield...but she still trails by 2 as Yippy is slowly inching her way.

Be patient Hak Mui!

Yippy 17-15 XXF
DEN catching up to 14-15 in MD

Where you saw it's 5.99 pounds ah Badmania? I saw it's 4.06 pounds or US$7.99. Daily is US$1.99

Must be my eyes...hehe....don't know which one is right :o

abedeng, where r u now? seems like u r watching live?:eek:

In Starbucks Cafe, XXF serves wide. Free point for Yippie.

Yip leading 18-15

3 more for Hak Mui now...18-15.

Even now, the body language is showing XXF's lack of confidence. Excellent drop shot by Yippie. 16-13.

Maybe later you can try record the interesting matches for us to watch. he he :D:D

Tony/Candra are on now!
Yippy 18-16 XXF
CHN 16-15 DEN in MD

In Starbucks Cafe, XXF serves wide. Free point for Yippie.

Wide serves :eek::o ???

Wow....

Critical moments for Xie....16-19 now....2 more for Hak Mui to create another upset!

That last rally, XXF took a long time to kill the shuttle.

But Xie replies back with 2 quick points...18-19.

XXF battling back to 18-19
DEN 17-17 CHN in MD

Maybe later you can try record the interesting matches for us to watch. he he :D:D

Cannot, live streaming not recordable.

19 all now...........

Go Yippie go, finish XXF in straight sets.

XXF finds some of her mental form again, 19-19.

wow..Yip...Yip..come on...19 all

Xie levels it at 19-19.
If Xie were to win this one, I am afraid Hak Mui will be losing the third set.

Oh dear, XXF levels it 19-all.

match point for Yip 20-19

Yippie gains matchpoint!!!

Match pt for Yip! 20-19 now....tense moment.

Hauge thanks for your tips live streaming now working to me.....could we switch to another court ? now showing xxf

Yip Pui Yin does Hong Kong proud as she beat the top seed Xie Xingfang 22-20, 21-19! What an upset....

Oh dear...I see our Winston_T here starting to cry....:D:p

Hauge thanks for your tips live streaming now working to me.....could we switch to another court ? now showing xxf
No.,..it shows one court only...thereis schedule there

lars and jonas take the first game 21-18

Lars/Jonas won tight battle

No.,..it shows one court only...thereis schedule there
where is this livestreaming?

Gill Clark says that XXF's defeat is due to mental fatigue, not physical fatigue.

When XXF lost to WMC, that was physical fatigue.

Yippy's win really opens up that quarter. Potentially Yippy v WMC in that QF bracket

XXF is out!! :eek:
Yes, no rematch of XXF-WMC!

Yip won because she is very lucky......hehe...

WOW, didnt think 1st round would be so interesting.
So early top seed already out....

omg, omg, omg...........pity xxf...lost in a quite embarrasing style...sigh!!! Will my ZN delivers later?

wow... congrats for ypy.... she did it... the unthinkable has happend on the very first round of all england... we will see wether it's affecting other players... go mad play wild...

OK ppl, going home and continuing the "live telecast" there, I hope.

Now it will show Kor MD vs German MD

Gill Clark says that XXF's defeat is due to mental fatigue, not physical fatigue.

When XXF lost to WMC, that was physical fatigue.

That was Xie's first match of the year...so...no physical fatigue or whatsoever....:p

Blame it on her fall in KL's toilet...haha....

"Clawing her way back," says Gillian Clark.

XXF puts shuttle to open court, 12-17.
u watching the livestreaming?>
and the commentator is jillian clark?

omg, omg, omg...........pity xxf...lost in a quite embarrasing style...sigh!!! Will my ZN delivers later?
Rest assured...Kawan..Last time you help me on LHI..This time i will sure help you..:rolleyes::p:D

Need to cheer Tony/Candra and Joko/Hendra....come on guys

WOW, didnt think 1st round would be so interesting.
So early top seed already out....

And hopefully our players r not the next ones :cool:

Guo/Xie race way ahead 6-0. Looks like Jonas/Lars fell asleep after their 1st game win

If any of remaining Chinese WS could not win AE then it will make 4 out of 5 SS that none of chinese wins....very unusual.......

That was Xie's first match of the year...so...no physical fatigue or whatsoever....:p

Blame it on her fall in KL's toilet...haha....

XXF will very very vary of Msia hotel's bathroom/toilets in future ;)

AG/Joko are facing a tricky one here....leading slightly at 11-10 against Logosz/Mateusiak though.

Tony/Candra also face another European heavy-weight (the Russian Open Winner).

Wow, perhaps the biggest upset of today. XXF just lost.

No.,..it shows one court only...thereis schedule there

ok...actually would like to watch Hendra/Joko now

LYB will be worried now..........

abedeng...can u record the match for us?

AG/Joko are facing a tricky one here....leading slightly at 11-10 against Logosz/Mateusiak though.

Tony/Candra also face another European heavy-weight (the Russian Open Winner).

Logosz/Mateusiak are no mugs. They'll give most pairs a run for their money
INA 13-11 POL

XZB went 7-0 now Jonas got his 5 straight points....5-7 for DEN

1st Upset Of The Day: Yip Pui Yin Of Hong Kong Beat World Number 1 From China, Xie Xing Fang In The 1st Round Of The All England Badminton Championship 2008..!!
congrats To Yippie!.

Down 0-7, Jonas/Lars have chased back to 5-7

If any of remaining Chinese WS could not win AE then it will make 4 out of 5 SS that none of chinese wins....very unusual.......

1 down, 4 to go :D

Potential loss for Chinese WS:
R16: Wong Mew Choo vs Jiang Yanjiao (if both win today)
R16: Zhu Lin vs Tine Rasmussen (if Tine wins)
R16: Lu Lan vs Wang Yihan -- WO to Lu Lan, so, no headache, confirmed another one gone! :D

R32: Yao Jie vs Zhang Ning -- another potential upset in the making later today.

Suddenly, it's not a rosy outlook for Team China in WS.

abedeng...can u record the match for us?

oh yeah george, I explained in the Qualifiying thread about yesterday's post, hope you understand, no hard feelings....:)

Yeah, such a pity XXF lost in the 1st round. Guessed this is what happens. Now WMC will have a chance to enter the semis... hope she will go all the way.

Polish pair is quite good especially Robert.........who mostly control whole matches

Logosz/Mateusiak are no mugs. They'll give most pairs a run for their money
INA 13-11 POL

That's what I mean. European pairs are always tricky to play against.
Logosz/Mateusiak and Hopp/Kindervater especially + Spitko/Fuchs.

Tony/Candra going about their business 19-10 over a GER pair

luckily jill pitrad didnt won her match,,

If any of remaining Chinese WS could not win AE then it will make 4 out of 5 SS that none of chinese wins....very unusual.......
I start to worry abt ZN and CJ. They are two most vulnerable seeds to fall.

oh yeah george, I explained in the Qualifiying thread about yesterday's post, hope you understand, no hard feelings....:)
im not they guy who keeps hard feelings..eagle..dont worried..i understands it.:):)

Wow, perhaps the biggest upset of today. XXF just lost.

LD could lose his match to IND player:pThis could be a forgetable day for the couple:DWay to go, Yippy stands tall without trees:cool::);)

That's what I mean. European pairs are always tricky to play against.
Logosz/Mateusiak and Hopp/Kindervater especially + Spitko/Fuchs.

Of the 3, I think only Logosz/Mateusiak have a chance to advance.
POL 15-16 INA

Tony/Candra whipped Geman MD 21-11..while Jonas is inching in 9-11 after Chinese leads 7 points

Yeah, such a pity XXF lost in the 1st round. Guessed this is what happens. Now WMC will have a chance to enter the semis... hope she will go all the way.
yeah, i hope that wong mew choo will go all the way to the semi final after xie xing fang is out in the 1st round..
hope she can do it!

Suddenly, Tony/Candra find themselves taking the first set 21-11 :eek:
That was quick :o

AG/Joko are still battling hard....

1 down, 4 to go :D

Potential loss for Chinese WS:
R16: Wong Mew Choo vs Jiang Yanjiao (if both win today)
R16: Zhu Lin vs Tine Rasmussen (if Tine wins)
R16: Lu Lan vs Wang Yihan -- WO to Lu Lan, so, no headache, confirmed another one gone! :D

R32: Yao Jie vs Zhang Ning -- another potential upset in the making later today.

Suddenly, it's not a rosy outlook for Team China in WS.
well, if ZN lose to Yao Jie, i won't consider as upset looking at ZN's current conditions.

i am hoping that many china player will fall in the 1st round..:D

come on joko/hendra.....german pair so far looking good...hopefully will upset korean pair

Jonas/Lars pull ahead 15-12 over Guo/Xie

Lee Jae Jin went to change the racket in the middle of rally....hehe of course they lost that point

Lars/Jonas are in the driver's seat as they lead 15-13. The pattern of 2nd game repeats the 1st.

And suddenly Lars/Jonas is leading 15-13

DEN 17-13 CHN :)
INA 20-20 POL :eek:

Oh dear, deuce for AG/Joko, despite having 3 game pts just now :o

Meanwhile, Tony/Candra are doing their usual business, dismantling the German pair effectively by leading 11-8 at the interval of the second set.

deuce for Polish and INA..haiya...what a waste !! 20-17 to 20 all

kan cheong mah...world number 1 XXF out dy i start to kan cheong mah...now wong mew choo road to the semi shud be very easy..
but i hope she can make it..! and dont underestimate other players..:)
JYJ is not easy to get pass...but I hope that ur girlfren can thru to final...marking another record for us...:D

well, if ZN lose to Yao Jie, i won't consider as upset looking at ZN's current conditions.

Hey Louisa, cannot say like that. We'll have not seen ZN in action lately. For the past 1 over month she could have been training very very hard, and would have probably whipped herself up to the challenge leh... :p

Tony/Candra getting a bit more resistance from the GER pair in the 2nd, 11-9

Lars/Jonas are in the driver's seat as they lead 15-13. The pattern of 2nd game repeats the 1st.

Chen Xingdong (the MD and XD coach) will be "kek-sim", after having seen Guo/Xie led 7-0 just now :D:o

Gill Clark says that XXF's defeat is due to mental fatigue, not physical fatigue.

When XXF lost to WMC, that was physical fatigue.
How can she tell?
2 games mean mental;3 games physical? Do you agree with her comment?

The Polish pair saved 3 game pt and at game pt 21-20. Duece 21-all.

AG/Joko saved a game pt to make it 21-21.
They simply make life hard for themselves :cool::mad:
