WHOA???

RUS took first game from Du/Yu in... women's doubles?

something serious wrong is going on here.

Planet badminton is not working anymore.....huhu

Tine at match point 20-15

HK wins! HK wins! HK wins! HK wins! HK wins!
Fu/Cai and their #1 seeding are sent packing! Yet another monumental upset
Never seen this HK pair b4 but Yohan Hadikus Wiratama / Albertus Susanto Njoto doesnt sounds like chinese names...??

Damn it!
It was really excellent. But now it's not working.
And it's paid, too!
Planet badminton is not working anymore.....huhu

LD solid as a rock, leads Eric 11-5 at the break. More than at any time, LYB needs LD to win the AE to salvage some of CHN's tattered pride

Anyone know about the HK MD pair just won? Their last names are not Chinese ones.

Never seen this HK pair b4 but Yohan Hadikus Wiratama / Albertus Susanto Njoto doesnt sounds like chinese names...??

Ex-INA players. But they've been playing for HK for quite a while now

WHOA???

RUS took first game from Du/Yu in... women's doubles?

something serious wrong is going on here.r the russian pair tall gals?

how come it is not working??????????

Ex-INA players. But they've been playing for HK for quite a while now
ahhh, lucky for HK then.

Du/Yu now employing bullying tactics on the RUS girls 9-4 :D:D

Anyone know about the HK MD pair just won? Their last names are not Chinese ones.
They are chinese Indonesian....also ex djarum players........Yohan is a brother of Alan Budikusuma.

Anyone know about the HK MD pair just won? Their last names are not Chinese ones.
They are Chinese Indonesians. Yohan is the younger brother of 1992 OG Gold medalist Alan Budi Kusuma.

They are Indonesians.
But Albert is already HK citizen....yohan is on the way too

cai yun.. fu haifeng.. must.. be.. super.. extremely.. disappointed..

at the moment, go joko-hendra! don't let the japanese make sushi out of you today.. revenge for your teammates!

Went for lunch....next thing I know more seeds fallen... what a lousy time to leave..
Chinese WS contingent is down to Lu Lan....and a jr player that hopefully will be disposed by choo choo train.

wow..upset continues.....who knows who won Lulan or WYH? another WO?

It seems like very difficult to steal a point from the JPN MD.

They are chinese Indonesian....also ex djarum players........Yohan is a brother of Alan Budikusuma.

Are they having better luck in HK than they did in Ina? If they can beat CY/FHF, I'd imagine that they must be even better before becoming ex-Ina.

wow..upset continues.....who knows who won Lulan or WYH? another WO?

Whaddya think? LYB strikes again.

Go Joko/Hendra!!! JPN pair already made enough sushi yesterday!

wow..upset continues.....who knows who won Lulan or WYH? another WO?

No play, i guessed it another tactical act of walkover.

LD is having an easy day today.

No play, i guessed it another tactical act of walkover.

LYB has to protect his last remaining asset in the WS hence the W/O

LYB has to protect his last remaining asset in the WS hence the W/O

There should be regulation against that.....:mad:

I never thought that Albert/Nyoto could win over Cai/Fu....amazing....

Du/Yu is getting familiar with the Rus pair by now.

LYB has to protect his last remaining asset in the WS hence the W/O

Who knows, LL is facing WC next, and she could be eliminated then.

There should be regulation against that.....:mad:

yeah..how unfair!!!!

Okay..I guess LL won....

INA is still fighting like dogs with the giant killers JPN.

JPN 16-16

Are they having better luck in HK than they did in Ina? If they can beat CY/FHF, I'd imagine that they must be even better before becoming ex-Ina.
only Albert...but Yohan used to be single player in INA........

I never thought that Albert/Nyoto could win over Cai/Fu....amazing....
If not mistaken, they almost did it in one of the SS tourneys last year.

come on Joko...........tight between tomboys and russians

Oh No...JPN is closing in the set..........

I think the overall skill level has been up a lot since late last year with so many seeds fallen by the wayside.

According to online Chinese newspapers in Malaysia, the Chinese names of this HK MD pair are:
1. Yang Li Feng
2. Wei Ren Jun (.....budikusuma, he is the brother of Alan Budikusuma, whose Chinese name is Wei Ren Fang)

Touch and go between INA vs JPN MD

LD is having a good time....just toying Eric.....

Gah, 1st set lost.
Joko/Hendra, grab the 2nd one!!

JPN took the 1st game 21-19.

According to online Chinese newspapers in Malaysia, the Chinese names of this HK MD pair are:
1. Yang Li Feng
2. Wei Ren Jun (.....budikusuma, he is the brother of Alan Budikusuma, whose Chinese name is Wei Ren Fang)
I think it is wei ren Jin...not Jun..

Joko Hendra needs to win....very good chance...but Japanese is improving too

hopefully joko-hendra will be back on track in the next 2 sets...!!! *_____*

Very tight rubber game between Russian and Chn WD. Russian can surprise us, i think.

Easy for LD, match point now... oopsss... he won 21 : 12

魏仁君（wei ren jun)
This is what I　ｒｅａｄ　ｉｎ　ｏｎｌｉｎｅ　Ｃｈｉｎｅｓｅ　ｎｅｗｓ　ｐａｐｅｒｓ．

LD is having a good time....just toying Eric.....

Are you still watching this Planet Badminton live? Maybe I'll consider do it tomorrow, but how many courts it is broadcasting?

I think it is wei ren Jin...not Jun..

no hau ge.. hehehe.. it's JUN, i saw in his friendster...... :rolleyes:

According to online Chinese newspapers in Malaysia, the Chinese names of this HK MD pair are:
1. Yang Li Feng 楊禮峰
2. Wei Ren Jun 魏仁君 (.....budikusuma, he is the brother of Alan Budikusuma, whose Chinese name is Wei Ren Fang)
Yeah, u r right!

If Russians take down YY/DJ is really miracle........so close now........

no hau ge.. hehehe.. it's JUN, i saw in his friendster...... :rolleyes:
Really?? but I and Alroy call him ren jin......hehe

PLANET BADMINTON is NOT working.....they asked to me refresh....refresh....still not working....not happy camper here....:mad:

Why did ZB/GL skipped the Korea & Malaysia SS series @ beginning of the year?

PLANET BADMINTON is NOT working.....they asked to me refresh....refresh....still not working....not happy camper here....:mad:

Are you in Indonesia right now hau-ge? Just wondering what kind of internet connection you're using... if you are.

Really?? but I and Alroy call him ren jin......hehe
That's broken Mandarin. It's just like rain, it should be pronounced as "yu" instead of "yi".

Why did ZB/GL skipped the Korea & Malaysia SS series @ beginning of the year?

I thought GL was playing. It's hard for her to play both WD and XD. She should really concentrate on one.

Zheng Bo/GL have to be careful...this rising Korean is good also

Are you in Indonesia right now hau-ge? Just wondering what kind of internet connection you're using... if you are.
I am in Hong Kong.........I have a meeting with Target here soon....:D

Why did ZB/GL skipped the Korea & Malaysia SS series @ beginning of the year?
Zheng Bo was injured.....then we heard rumour that GL was not happy with ZB.....no idea what about...rumour is rumour

I am in Hong Kong.........I have a meeting with Target here soon....:D

ic, just wondering if you have an idea of a better internet connection than lousy indosat. :o

Good, close match between JPN/INA continues. 13-13 in 2nd

13 all....come on Joko..........

WYL/ZYW have been beaten by WPT/CEH before. Better be careful.

ic, just wondering if you have an idea of a better internet connection than lousy indosat. :o
No problem yesterday...so smooth..........;)

Wei/Zhang about to take on Wong/Chin (MAS)
ZB/GL 3-3 Han/Hwang

come on jokoooooo come on hendraaaaaaaaa...

poor hau ge, paid for it and can not watch?

No problem yesterday...so smooth..........;)

if only that were true 100% of the time.... Never can do streaming webvideo with family back there due to their lousy connections....

I thought GL was playing. It's hard for her to play both WD and XD. She should really concentrate on one.
Thats what LYB said after China Open ....then ZTT has no partner so here we have GL/ZTT....remember that ZTT is one of LYB's golden child too......I think GL should concentrate this XD as CHina has many very good WD....tough to beat them.....

Dang...this JPN pair sure is resilient....
Cmon Joko/Hendra, do you want to be turned into Sushi?????

Damn..still so close............come on Joko........

Dang...this JPN pair sure is resilient....
Cmon Joko/Hendra, do you want to be turned into Sushi?????

Du/Yu wins in 3 tough ones. Saves face for LYB

Zheng Bo was injured.....then we heard rumour that GL was not happy with ZB.....no idea what about...rumour is rumour

GL's past partners were harder hitters and she had better results so I can see some frustration.

JPN evens at 19-19. What a gritty pair

OMG so dangerous.......... joko hendra.. pray pray pray

Darn...19-all, cmon Joko/Hendra!!

Phew!! match point...........scary!!

MAS takes 1st game 21-18:eek:
GL/ZB edges out KOR 22-10

(a typo)
It was GL/ZB 22-20 Kor, very close call for the Chn XD in the first game.

Despite their #1 WR, they are the most vulnerable WD in CHN camp, imo.

So, girls, repeat what u did in the 1st game.

pening 18-13 now............ *scared*

6 all for MAS WD and CHN..........

joko, hendra, don't lose focus! 14-18 catching up! don't let tiredness and frustration take over you! come on..........

Gosh, MAS WD lost focus, gave away 5 points ina row.

(a typo)
It was GL/ZB 22-20 Kor, very close call for the Chn XD in the first game.

What I was trying to say was GL/ZB have edged out the Koreans 22-20. Better?;)

Hahaha... suddenly a new member from SG pops out of nowhere... LOL:D

JPN won it.....

This new Japan pair is on fire this year. :D

Hahaha... suddenly a new member from SG pops out of nowhere... LOL:D

KOR 12-9 CHN

Very evenly match... 12 all

12-all. OMG, so close...

MAS 13-12
13-13
Keep up the pace..
14-13

What I was trying to say was GL/ZB have edged out the Koreans 22-20. Better?;)

You had a typo 22-10 instead of 22-20.

Yippy is on song now, facing HHY... she can keep the theme going and win again, i think.

the day of the match in 2nd round; Joko/Hendra vs Sakamoto/Ikeda...

MAS 15-14...
Keep the pressure on...

Hahaha... suddenly a new member from SG pops out of nowhere... LOL:D

I'm Indonesian actually... lol... I'm currently studying in sg ;)

hahaha that's what i thought too.. interesting first post.. alvent/luluk fan? :confused:

not really... but since they are the only Indonesian MD hope, I'll support them :P

MAS 16 : 14 CHN... close, very close, must be really interesting

robin7, i am so tense, i want MAS WD to win!!! 16 all now.

You had a typo 22-10 instead of 22-20.

Ah, thank you Birdwood. Too many numbers floating through my head :crying:

jeezzz... they lost the lead and now trailing by 2 points 16 : 18

Wei/Zhang finally lead 18-16 on MAS
KOR still lead 15-13 on ZB/GL

I'm Indonesian actually... lol... I'm currently studying in sg ;)
not really... but since they are the only Indonesian MD hope, I'll support them :P

so you support indo players more than singaporean players i guess?? anyway, there's a lot of singaporean players who are originally from indo... also those coaching at singapore sport school etc.

haha, welcome to the forum, fantastic4! :D

Oh no, 5 straight pts to give CHN 19-16.

It seems that CHN WD will force the rubber..........

As expected, the MAS WD's end game is being exposed. CHN wins 21-16

Damn it, MAS lost the 2nd game, losing 7 straight pts.

gosh, CHN girls took 7 points in a row to win the 2nd game 21 : 16

KOR still holding strong 16-14 against ZB/GL
Yippy about to take on young Hwang from KOR

Hi... what happened in the match of Taufik and Nguyen?? Can anybody let me know??Livescores got stuck since last an hour I reopened many times but its still at the same points, NO changes, Is that with all of you?

who won Taufik or Nguyen?

nevermind, still got a rubber set to decide... go girls!

so you support indo players more than singaporean players i guess?? anyway, there's a lot of singaporean players who are originally from indo... also those coaching at singapore sport school etc.

haha, welcome to the forum, fantastic4! :D

Yes... :D Thx...

GO YIPPY!
Yippy 1-2 Hwang

Both Chn XD and WD pairs are been challenged, nothing for granted any more.

Hi... what happened in the match of Taufik and Nguyen?? Can anybody let me know??Livescores got stuck since last an hour I reopened many times but its still at the same points, NO changes, Is that with all of you?

who won Taufik or Nguyen?

Neither, match not played yet

Wei/Zhang off quickly in the rubber 4-1

Hi... what happened in the match of Taufik and Nguyen?? Can anybody let me know??Livescores got stuck since last an hour I reopened many times but its still at the same points, NO changes, Is that with all of you?

who won Taufik or Nguyen?

Match still haven't been played... keep trying, Livescore is working fine for most of us here.:p

GL/ZB chasing down KOR 18-18

GL/ZB is not giving up yet.......17-18

MAS girls are running out of steam now...

Wei/Zhang have left the MAS girls in the dust 6-2
GL/ZB finally lead 19-18

As expected, the MAS WD's end game is being exposed. CHN wins 21-16

What do you mean here by exposed (new terminology to me)? Thanks

Hwang kicking Yippy 9-4 :eek:

KOR threw away an 18-14 lead and now CHN at match pt 20-19.

CHN won it...

What do you mean here by exposed (new terminology to me)? Thanks

I mean the end game for the MAS pair has been a weakness. They have trouble closing games. In this instance, the CHN pair have once again provided evidence of it by taking the last 7 points of the game. Hope the explanation works :)

Oh comeon Mas girls, don't let them go too far... keep them incheck!

This is what experience can do for you. GL/ZB ground down the Koreans slowly and pounced at the end to win 22-20, 21-19

Hhy 11-7

Mas 5-11

Come on YIPPY.................

MAS girls letting the match slip away 5-11. A bridge too far?
Hwang 11-7 Yippy

hmmm... the much awaited match: TH vs NTM is about to begin!

OK, all you Taufik fans, here comes your hero.

TH vs Nguyen soon....

Go go Taufik (although I also rate Nguyen)

MAS girls have lost stamina & confidence.

Hhy 13-9.........

Come on Yippy. Time to get serious. Hwang 13-10 Yippy

CHN girls taking care of biz against MAS 14-8

I mean the end game for the MAS pair has been a weakness. They have trouble closing games. In this instance, the CHN pair have once again provided evidence of it by taking the last 7 points of the game. Hope the explanation works :)

Appreciate. I was busy reading comments and did not watch the scores carefully.

Camon girls, keep it close...

Too bad joko/hendra,markis/hendra&vita/butet lost. But, ina's 2nd pairs are still there,luluk/alven&jo/grey. It's good to them for next thomas/uber.

Hhy 16-13......

Aiyo, they are so far ahead. Can they make a desperate comeback?

Appreciate. I was busy reading comments and did not watch the scores carefully.

No problem. Back to the matches at hand:
Hwang 16-13 Yippy :(
CHN 17-10 MAS. End of the road for MAS WD here.

XD ZB/GL's winning over Kor was razer-thin in both games.

Gone case liao... MAS WD is losing badly in rubber set.

What the heck is happening to Yippy? Down 13-18. Not a good sign

Hwang 18-13

Chin/Wong 10-19

CHN at match point 20-10 and wins easily 21-10.

Bye bye MAS Chin/Wong

Bye bye girls. Great effort.

Come on Yippy, fight back!! 15-18

Hwang 19-15.....

Nguyen 3-2 TH
Yippy 15-19 Hwang

Take a break, have a KITKAT... Be when WMC comes into action.

Hwang at game pt 20-15. Taken it.

Th 7-4 Ntm.....

Dang! I'm soooo disappointed in Yippy's effort so far. Time to crank it up a notch otherwise, she'll be shopping with the others.

Come on YIP...focus on 2nd set...........

Come on Hak Mui, time to lift your game! 1-1

It's a come back win for the WD no.1 seed Chn ZYW/WYL over the Mas pair.

TH edges in front of Nguyen 10-8

Take a break, have a KITKAT... Be when WMC comes into action.
Take a break..have a beer..thats what I am having now..Harbin beer.....:D:D

Jonas/Lars are on against Hu/Tsai of TPE.

Yippy must at the very least stay close. 3-3
TH up 11-8 at the break

Yes..YIP....3 all now

T.h. 11-8 N.t.m.

Take a break..have a beer..thats what I am having now..Harbin beer.....:D:D

I thought it's night over there. You try to go to sleep or stay awake:rolleyes:

Nguyen closes to 11-11. Come on TH, accelerate!!
Yippy 5-4, a slim lead at last

go JONAS!!

we are supporting you!!

Taufik 12-12.....

Nguyen closes to 11-11. Come on TH, accelerate!!
Yippy 5-4, a slim lead at last

i wonder if Taufik is in the right mood today... :p

TH must enjoy toying with NTM before finishing him off quickly later.

i wonder if Taufik is in the right mood today... :p

Better be if he wants to realize his dream of capturing the elusive AE ;). leads 14-12

Nguyen TM
Hwang HY

Nguyen is a tough player to finish off because he fights till the death. TH had better be careful or he'll lose to him again. 14-14

Cmon Jonas and Lars!! Go Go Denmark!!! Get a AE title for Europe^^

Come on Yippy, build on your lead. 10-7

Dang it...Joko/Hendra lost afterall??

Go Taufik, go!

Camon, Hwang, go go 8-10
