Swiss Open 2008: Day 3 (13 Mar)

[badMania]

It was a near perfect day for Team INA, if not for Sony's unexpected defeat yesterday. The WS players will be going home as expected, joined by Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi and Sony Dwi Kuncoro as flight mates.

Another long day beckons today.....
12:45pm XD R16 Robert Blair/Imogen Bankier vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [3] -- another encounter with Blair/Bankier and I believe Flandy/Vita should be fired up by now.

1:30pm XD R16 Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- another rematch against an old foe. They have met so many times in the past half a year, with records shared at 2-2. The Danish pair won in Chinese-Taipei and French Opens, while the INA pair triumphed in Hong Kong and All-England. Can Nova/Butet repeat last week's result?

3:45pm WD R16 Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Gao Ling/Zhao Tingting [5] -- can Jo/Grace beat the weakest Chinese pair?

3:45pm WD R16 Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir vs Du Jing/Yu Yang [3] -- a battle between the two tomboys...I think the Chinese pair should prevail here.

4:30pm WD R16 Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti -- another match vs the Chinese pair...surely the INA pair will go home tomorrow.

6:00pm MD R16 Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [5] -- a good performance against the AE runner-up for Tony/Candra yesterday and they will face the AE semi-finalist today. They should take this one.

6:45pm MD R16 Tan Bin Shen/Ong Soon Hock vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto [8] -- a tough match for Luluk/Alvent, but, they should win!

8:15pm MS R16 Taufik Hidayat [7] vs Anup Sridhar -- Taufik was slain by the same opponent in the World Championships last year. Can history repeat itself yet again today?

9:45pm MD R16 Robert Blair/Richard Eidestedt vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] -- the last match of the day as always for Kido/Hendra...they should take this one though!

[madbad]

Terrible start time for me 4 am... ZZZZZZZZZ... :p:D

[ctjcad]

Terrible start time for me 4 am... ZZZZZZZZZ... :p:D
..you can get an early start by sleeping.......................................now (i think that's what Hau-ge did y'day/last night)..:);)

[Birdwood]

..you can get an early start by sleeping.......................................now (i think that's what Hau-ge did y'day/last night)..:);)

He is still in Asian time zone, but we are not :mad::D The singles will start a couple hours later, good for me. I think Anup Sridhar is a dark horse for anyone :rolleyes:

[madbad]

He is still in Asian time zone, but we are not :mad::D The singles will start a couple hours later, good for me. I think Anup Sridhar is a dark horse for anyone :rolleyes:

I don't think Taufik is going to let lightning strike twice.

[Xinguy]

most likely taufik is back looking for revenge:D

[robin7]

3:00PM WS WONG Mew Choo [8] v ZHOU Mi - A 51:49 game. Zhou Mi was struggling since winning the Korea Open, losing in the 1st round in Birmingham last week and was stretched to 3 games by Maria Kristin in the previous round. Based on the form, Wong should prevail in 3 thrilling games.

5:15PM MD CHOONG Tan Fook/LEE Wan Wah [4] v Lars PAASKE/Jonas RASMUSSEN - It should be a 50:50 game but based on the "trend", MAS uncles are supposed to lose in early round after entering SF in the previous tourney.:D

6:00PM MS Sairul Amar AYOB v WONG Choong Hann - Wong Sifu is so motivated to qualify for his 3rd OG.

6:00PM MD Zakry ABDUL LATIF/Fairuzizuan TAZARI v KOO Kien Keat/TAN Boon Heong [3] - A 45:55 game and Koo/Tan should win.

6:45PM WS XU Huaiwen [7] v WONG Pei Xian Julia - Xu has been consistent lately and she should win.

6:45PM MD ONG Soon Hock/TAN Bin Shen v Alvent Yulianto CHANDRA/Luluk HADIYANTO [8] - A 45:55 game with the INA pair having the slight edge.

8:15PM MS Dicky PALYAMA v LEE Chong Wei [2] - Lee should take it.

Note: Malaysia is 7 hours ahead of Basel, Switzerland.

[anfan2000]

How about predict for match dark horse NGUYEN (VN) vs Ronald Susilo(SIN) ?
please anyone analyze details for 2 these players.

[Xinguy]

I fel this match btw ronald vs nguyen might be 50 50 i also not sure cos i've not seen suslilo playing for awhile...

[PlayaFromMalaya]

i think nguyen tien minh will win it..

[vching]

my very very tedious and long post on today's predictions. First time in a long long time so many Malaysians made it to round 2. Hope you like it:

How about predict for match dark horse NGUYEN (VN) vs Ronald Susilo(SIN) ?
please anyone analyze details for 2 these players.
Nguyen to win. He's super dark horse now if you had seen how he took out LHI.LHI was quite lost.

[jimbo]

Taufik vs Anup: (55-45)
On paper, Taufik has the upper hand but Anup is another dark horse. If Taufik has an off day, Anup could steal this win.

Nguen vs Susilo: (51-49)
This is a well balanced match. The viet did very well to dispose LHI but Susilo is no easy meat. I predict a marathon match and hopefully Susilo will sustain his fitness (he has not been playing much lately).

[george@chongwei]

all the best to malaysia badminton team in the 2nd round 2day..!
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

[indra]

what time does the match begin ? (Jakarta's time)

[ctjcad]

what time does the match begin ? (Jakarta's time)
Today's matches should commence in abt 3 hrs..beginning @ 12 pm local time..
Taufik will be on @ around 2:15 am Jkt time..hope you can stay awake..;)

[Xinguy]

i think i've watch nguyen vs susilo in s'pore open b4 if i m nt wrong the match was so full of rallies walau i remember that match i watch like as if they r having normal training:D faint men:D

[jimbo]

i think i've watch nguyen vs susilo in s'pore open b4 if i m nt wrong the match was so full of rallies walau i remember that match i watch like as if they r having normal training:D faint men:D

*LOL* Yes, both are defensive players, particularly Susilo. That's why I am concerned with his fitness and endurance, and if he could sustain, I sincerely hope he will advance to the next round :)

[.:Luân Kid:.]

Nguyen to win. He's super dark horse now if you had seen how he took out LHI.LHI was quite lost.
Nguyen can oppose to korean's style..u know...more reaction.But Susilo , he has a different style , Nguyen has a lot of thing to do this match.

[samuel882]

Taufik vs Anup: (55-45)
On paper, Taufik has the upper hand but Anup is another dark horse. If Taufik has an off day, Anup could steal this win.


Anup vs Taufik will be the scenario like Sakamoto/Ikeda vs Koo/Tan.. A nitemare for the popular players :eek: ;)

[jimbo]

Anup vs Taufik will be the scenario like Sakamoto/Ikeda vs Koo/Tan.. A nitemare for the popular players :eek: ;)

*LOL* Are you telling us that "popular player" != "good player"??? :D:eek:

[Xinguy]

I've not seen susilo participating in the last few tournaments so i dun really know how he's performing now but i think this match will be excited, if susilo plays to his standard n if he's on form...

[Xinguy]

wah today like there's 2 match which i feel is around 50 50 1st match is taufik vs anup follow by ronald vs nguyen...

[X Ball]

How about predict for match dark horse NGUYEN (VN) vs Ronald Susilo(SIN) ?
please anyone analyze details for 2 these players.

Nguyen should win on current form. He is coming along nicely with his games. Good one.

[Xinguy]

we shall see in the end result:D

[CLELY]

It was a near perfect day for Team INA, if not for Sony's unexpected defeat yesterday. The WS players will be going home as expected, joined by Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi and Sony Dwi Kuncoro as flight mates.

3:45pm WD R16 Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir vs Du Jing/Yu Yang [3] -- a battle between the two tomboys...I think the Chinese pair should prevail here.

4:30pm WD R16 Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti -- another match vs the Chinese pair...surely the INA pair will go home tomorrow.

No hope for three INA WD pairs against the Chinese? Hmm, who knows one pair will create upset here.

[X Ball]

we shall see in the end result:D


Ronald has been so-so lately. But of course, he is quite a capable player on his day.

What happened to him lately -- too much curry or too little ?:D

[george@chongwei]

what do u all think wong mew choo`s chance against zhou mi 2day?
i think that this game will be a 3rd set decider..

[indra]

Today's matches should commence in abt 3 hrs..beginning @ 12 pm local time..
Taufik will be on @ around 2:15 am Jkt time..hope you can stay awake..;)

Thanks ctjcad,

[jasonmarc]

i think that this game will be a 3rd set decider..

They trained together before.....so they must know each other game very well..........ZM had a long match yesterday....if her fitness....is good...ZM will have good chance over WMC.....;)

50-50. Both WMC and ZM didn't perform well lately. We'll see...:cool:

[eaglehelang]

hi there, you're early today. Msians wouldnt be on court till 10 pm Msia time - WMC.

Btw, my livescore isnt working today. You have any problems with it?

[vching]

Wong Mew Choo JIA YOU!!!

[demolidor]

Looks like Robertson/Emms will be out of the tournament in a minute ...
21-19, 17-10 for countrymen Clark/Kellogg.

[demolidor]

Flandy finishes his XD first. So Nova & Liliyana will be on court 2 with the crooked webcam :rolleyes:. Let's hope Robertson/Emms can make it a third set.

[demolidor]

Pulling back now only 18-17 for Clark/Kellogg

[george@chongwei]

camon philipines!!!!:p:p..

[demolidor]

Emms puts it in the net to give Clark/Kellogg matchpoint 20-19.

[eaglehelang]

Wong Mew Choo JIA YOU!!!

LOL, you're two hours early for that VChing

[badMania]

As expected, Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa have avenged their loss to Robert Blair/Imogen Bankier in a comfortably straight set victory. They will face either Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg or Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms in the QF tomorrow.

Meanwhile, expect Zheng Bo/Gao Ling to "lose" to He Hanbin/Yu Yang tomorrow, the reason being: He/Yu need the points badly :o

[450450]

WOW BLOODY good catch up nathan/gail. 3rd game :)

[demolidor]

22-21 Robertson/Emms now. And finished 23-21. We have ourselves a third set!! Nova/Liliyana on court 3 :p.

[george@chongwei]

[george@chongwei]

robertson/emms took the 2nd set..

[450450]

korean wins again 21/9 3rd set.

[eaglehelang]

Meanwhile, expect Zheng Bo/Gao Ling to "lose" to He Hanbin/Yu Yang tomorrow, the reason being: He/Yu need the points badly :o

Those who are into sports betting will win $$$ easily with such predictions, he he.

[huangkwokhau]

What happen to Sudket/Saralee........

[demolidor]

I can, but I don't like the camera angle or the middle court ;). But for this match the stream was not so good until now. I think my recording is ruined. When I got back behind the computer just now the stream was very poor.

So if you are not recording GET OF THE STREAM :D;).

[samuel882]

YES ! SUDKET Won the second set! Should be a stroll in the park for decider.

[george@chongwei]

She's not tired, she's just not fit ;). I think all the Dutch players are only concentrating on the European Championship since it is there only chance to qualify for the Olympics.

[apontoh]

Yip is getting destroyed by Zhu Lin, there goes my PAW...

[demolidor]

if lu lan faster finish off the game, then i will be able to watch mew choo`s game!!

[yen_saw]

Not looking good for MC

[carine]

OMG,ZM leading 8-0

[eaglehelang]

Why WMC trailing 8-0, injured kah?

[samuel882]

I still remain my point on WMC -- Flash in the Pan

[huangkwokhau]

ZM is mincing WMC.....11-0

[yen_saw]

10-nil...what is happening? sudden drop of form?

[yen_saw]

I was expecting a closer match..... sigh

[eaglehelang]

I still remain my point on WMC -- Flash in the Pan

'Flash in the pan' not quite right term, WMC took years to win 1 title. The flash in pan go up fast, then disappear.
But ppl also said that about Tine R during her dismal results post JO 2007.

[yen_saw]

ZM is "Chooooeeewing" MC!! A massacre

[LEE87]

11-0(WMC), what happen ???? come on, choo choo

[vching]

Mew Choo.... you want me to cough blood meh....

[Jessica]

13-0 now..Mew Choo,you must get some points..Please don't 21-0..

[eaglehelang]

Hiyaaa, very unlike WMC not to fight, weird.
13-0.....

[yen_saw]

When will she breaks the egg?

[huangkwokhau]

Pi Hong Yan beat Anna Rice 21-1 last time......but for WMC, getting 14-0 is unheard off...

[Arceid]

Yaha1st point for WMC

[eaglehelang]

wah, 14-0, WMC is ill or what? I cant watch livestream, 'server busy' error

[huangkwokhau]

When will she breaks the egg?
time for easter...1-14

[PlayaFromMalaya]

Zhou Mi + Zhu Lin = Newly formed WD pair :confused: :eek:


woops!! :o:o

say bye bye to wong mew choo..

[yen_saw]

yea a little too late to comeback

[jesminekia]

what happen to WMC.......?lost her frighting spirit or she get injure?

[vching]

I still remain my point on WMC -- Flash in the Pan

flash in a pan is a highly incorrect statement aimed at stoking tensions in the forum. Wong Mew Choo is a flash in a pan? If one would say that her peak was CO07, she still progressed to formidable rounds after the tournament. In fact, she didn't only flash in CO07, she was the runner up in MO07, which was almost a year before her CO07 win. Her world ranking of 8 is obvious that she can mantain that form of play.

Perhaps you should get to know what a flash in a pan means before throwing wild accusations around.

[vching]

12 points only ma.... can chase wan :D

Flash in a pan is a harsh word....she has shown that she can beat some top players and got into final and semifinal......remember that women players may have PMS that could affect their performances.....

[yen_saw]

maybe inconsistent is a better phrase for MC

[chemile]

OMG, why WMC lost easily? Is she injured? Or Zhou Mi has back to her best performance 3-4 years ago?

[leonardklh]

ohhhh.zhou mi beat wong mew choo...........

[Jessica]

maybe inconsistent is a better phrase for MC
Well..I think this word is more suitable..Many players facing this problem..I am afraid that Mew Choo will drop down from the top 8 after this judging from her performance in this two tournaments..

[vching]

Flash in a pan is a harsh word....she has shown that she can beat some top players and got into final and semifinal......remember that women players may have PMS that could affect their performances.....

ya lah... maybe WMC is not at her peak today, hence she is performing badly. One defeat dosen't make her a flash in a pan!

[eaglehelang]

Flash in a pan is a harsh word....she has shown that she can beat some top players and got into final and semifinal......remember that women players may have PMS that could affect their performances.....

he he, me no agree, that part is more mind over matter . WMC has nagging knee injury that can effect her performance. SHe still goes for stem cell injections.

But some might not understand fully the term 'flash in the pan', use it liberally. Tine R lost matches after JO 2007, didnt recover her form till MO 2008, abt 3 months, & Tine's more experienced than WMC.

I could be right, Hau-ge. I wonder why some undesirable element still lingers in this forum. He should be ban.:mad:

[samuel882]

'Flash in the pan' not quite right term, WMC took years to win 1 title. The flash in pan go up fast, then disappear.
But ppl also said that about Tine R during her dismal results post JO 2007.
My personal defination - Win in ONLY one tournament, after that nothing
Tine does not deserver that terms as she did win the prestigous AE after JO07.

[george@chongwei]

oh no..
i too bz watching the live streaming untill forget to post..:crying::eek::mad:
damn it!!
wmc lost very badly!!.haizz
after watched the matched, i would say that ZM smashes is very power and she overall controls the game very good..
haizzz...
next i juz hope that other MAS player will through to the next round.

[george@chongwei]

flash in the pan is cartainly a harsh word to a badminton player:mad:

[samuel882]

ok ! Wmc Boleh !!

[PlayaFromMalaya]

lost 2 paws already :(

[carine]

Mew Choo izit injury?

[demolidor]

he he, me no agree, that part is more mind over matter. Actually it leads to lower blood levels of iron which can indeed affect performance ;).

[george@chongwei]

Mew Choo izit injury?
maybe her knee is irritating her...performance..:rolleyes::o:(

[george@chongwei]

George..You can watch smoothly meh???:rolleyes::rolleyes: Very lagging here..:crying::crying::(

JO 2007 = Sept 2007, MO 2008 = Jan 2008 = 3 months
AE 2008 = March 2008 = 5 months.
In between Tine lost here & there.

CO 2007 = Nov 2007, now is 4 months later, WMC is the slow burn type, but not in the 'flash in the pan' category, she didnt suddenly win, she progressively improved, then win. She's still improving.

That's why even Hau-ge thinks it's too harsh a term - many other WS can only dream of becoming the of the pan flashers.:D

[PlayaFromMalaya]

[PlayaFromMalaya]

Unless it's very painful menstrual flow, still mind over matter. ;) Can be done.
Not counting the injury factor

[huangkwokhau]

so far it is quite even match 8-7 for INA

[apontoh]

[huangkwokhau]

Last time, GL/ZTT had hard time to beat Lita/Nitya, eventhough they managed to win 21-15,21-15...
Playing with Jo/Gres consume alot of energy...hope they can have tight match.........

May be I was ill informed but I read somewhere that most women athletes don't menstrual while they are playing because of the hard training they are endured themselves. They periods return after they retire from the sport and training.

[huangkwokhau]

Yep...long rallies.........hope they can tire GL/ZTT...can be boring match though...

[badadum]

Cmon Vita/Butet.....
Is there any INA WD that play aggresive style?

[huangkwokhau]

too bad...smashed wide by Gres...9-11

[huangkwokhau]

Cmon Vita/Butet.....
Is there any INA WD that play aggresive style?
actually Endang and rani...........also Nitya/Lita...but the latter need to be polished more

This part must ask those who play competitively. There's also a pill that can be taken to delay the cycle when in tournament, I know gymnatics athletes do that. Means no periods during tourney, similar to birth control pill me thinks.

[apontoh]

Yep...long rallies.........hope they can tire GL/ZTT...can be boring match though...
how's Jo/Greys' stamina?

[huangkwokhau]

how's Jo/Greys' stamina?
