i hope all malaysian player to final today...:)

I like LCW's chance today - in 2 sets. He should be ready for LD tomorrow. If he loses, I will say nothing bad about LD from now. :)

i hope all malaysian player to final today...:)

It sounds like a wishful thinking ;) But I wish all Mas players good luck the same :D

LCW will beat LD tomorrow.

LCW will beat LD tomorrow.
LCW has to beat Wacha first..........:D

ahh! why susilo lost! good chance for him to appear in semi-final.

Wacha is warm up game for lcw i think... :)

LCW has to beat Wacha first..........:D


LCW beat him convincingly the last time and I think he should beat him again without problem, unless WACHA has learned very quickly how to beat LCW.

LCW beat Wacha 3 sets in MO...I think

LCW beat Wacha 3 sets in MO...I think


3 sets ? I thot two.

3 sets ? I thot two.
I was watching that match...I found out the score now...LCW def wacha 21-5,15-21,21-8

erm today LCW match izit after chong/lee n zarky/fairuz match

erm today LCW match izit after chong/lee n zarky/fairuz match
Ya..i tink so..
hope the veterans can def AE08 champion-LYD/JJS..LCW will def wacha unless there's some unexpect factor o too many unforce errors fr LCW..
Match between Zakry/Fairus n Markis/Hendra:
I predict Markis/Hendra will win...but i think Zakry/Fairuz will give a good fight..hope they will give us a surprise..;)
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

lee chong wei will WACCHH wacha 2day:)

Only 2 INA representatives left in the Semi-Final and I hope both can advance to the Final tomorrow.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] -- Kido/Hendra have been consistent this week and they should have an edge in this encounter. I hope they go on to collect their first title in Europe.

MIXED DOUBLES
Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- Flandy/Vita surprisingly lost badly to Clark/Kellogg. Nova/Butet better be careful of Clark's mind-games, esp before the start of the match. With no Zheng/Gao left in the draw, it will be a good opportunity to also scoop their first title in Europe.

There are three surprising semifinalists here when the unseededs enter last four of SUI SS/08, Wacha, Fairuz/Zakry and Clark/Kellogg. And it looks like their journey will be stopped today.

From SUI Open official web, the schedule is quite unsual for semifinal match which is splitted into two parts. Part one session : 14.00 - 18.00 and part two : 19.00 - 23.00, too late. From tournament software, order-to-play for today's semifinal part one session :

Part One (14.00 - 18.00) :
1) XD -- He/Yu vs Lee Young Dae/Lee Hyo Jung (14.00)
2) WS -- XXF vs Xu Huaiwen (14.40), followed by
3) MD -- Fairuz/Zakry vs Kido/Setiawan
4) MS -- Wacha vs LCW
5) WD -- Du/Yu vs Yang/Zhang

At the rate of play by KKK/TBH, it would be impossible for them to even beat the second Korean pair in the forthcoming Thomas Cup. KKK should stop showing off his talents too much and should compromise with TBH as both players must co-operate as doubles players instead of playing individually. It did happened to LWW/CTF once, however, they managed to patch up and drop their differences. Despite of their age but they seem to understand each other games so wel bringing in excellent results. Both KKK/TBH should realise that they are playing for the country and for themselves.

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan [1] vs Bao Chunlai [3] -- yawn...no match here...Lin Dan will surely progress, unless, his "injury" strikes him again.

Przemyslaw Wacha vs Lee Chong Wei [2] -- Wacha is the beneficiary of Chen Jin's retirement and LCW should go into his second Final this year.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [6] vs Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah [4] -- Jung/Lee have been impressive so far and I don't see them losing today.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Xie Xingfang [1] vs Xu Huaiwen [7] -- its time for China to win a title in WS this year.

Pi Hongyan [5] vs Zhang Ning [2] -- Pi was simply destroying Zhu Lin yesterday and I fear Zhang Ning might suffer a similar fate today.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung [4] -- Lee Hyo Jung will be exhausted after the earlier XD match. The Chinese pair to take this one.

Du Jing/Yu Yang [3] vs Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen [2] -- I hope the veteran pair triumph!

MIXED DOUBLES
He Hanbin/Yu Yang [5] vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung [6] -- Lee/Lee have been pretty consistent and this will be another tense affair, with the Korean having a slight edge.

my predictions:
The Badminton Blog - Swiss Open 2008 Semifinals Predictions (http://thebadmintonblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/swiss-open-2008-semifinals-predictions.html)

i hope LCW will make it through. but it depends on which LCW will go into the match with wacha. if it is the LCW that beat TH in the recently concluded AE08, there's a good chance LCW will beat wacha in two sets. if it is the LCW that was beaten by chen jin in AE08, then wacha just might have a sliver of a chance to make an upset.

and if LCW proceeds, he will either face LD or BCL. and if LD and BCL are giving it their all, LD will most probably go through. but if LYB have another idea, BCL might make it through.

i guess we will have to just wait and see. :)

oh, and somehow, even though the koreans should be more tired than the rest, i still think one of them will win it. which one i am not sure. but at least one. :D

LCW beat Wacha 3 sets in MO...I think
3 sets ? I thot two.
I was watching that match...I found out the score now...LCW def wacha 21-5,15-21,21-8
LCW beat Wacha in 3 sets in the 2nd round of Malaysia Open 2008 in 42".
http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=18612&player=1
I believe that Wacha can still steal a set from LCW just as Dicky did.

and if LCW proceeds, he will either face LD or BCL. and if LD and BCL are giving it their all, LD will most probably go through. but if LYB have another idea, BCL might make it through.

The big director LYB will gives BCL performs a hero role:D

Since when Watcha become a threat to top players? Barrings any off day from LCW, I dont see how Watcha could beat LCW, mostly likely drag into rubber. Watcha was lucky to beat the unfit Susilo :rolleyes:

I'll take LCW vs BCL in final :eek::D

LCW to beat WACHA in two sets. It maybe a warm-up game for LCW.

The big director LYB will gives BCL performs a hero role:D

i dont know, LD hasn't won any title yet this year. it might be time for him to be given support by his teammates. he is a champion and thus he must feel the need to win soon.

It will be a LD and LCW final this time but I pick LD to win the Swiss Open.

It will be a LD and LCW final this time but I pick LD to win the Swiss Open.

Normally,...when LD face any players beside chn player in the final...he wouldnt have injury......he will play all out to win....

But,.....thats still depend on how...LYB decides....who to play in the Final....:D:D

They may not even have to play in today's SF....just w/o...will do...;)

both malaysian pairs to lose today..sigh...

Too many WOs already....Swiss Open organizer are not happy about it...
I hope for the sake of badminton....they should play real.......

they should limit the number of entries every country can enter to 2

It's time they report to the BWF.

I just checked the world ranking as at 13 March 2008 for the MS:

#1 LIN Dan 82595
#2 LEE Chong Wei 80454
#3 BAO Chunlai 66390

I am just wondering how the ranking is like in the following scenario:

1) LD beating LCW in the final
2) BCL beating LCW in the final
3) LCW beating LD in the final
3) LCW beating BCL in the final

May be our ranking expert badMania or ye333 can advise on this, thanks!

Surprisingly , CTF/LWW were the best perfomers in EURO SS so far, among the top 4 pairs in WR:eek:

Since it's a Saturday afternoon, I will entertain u :D

Basically, Bao has a slim chance no chance of getting the no 2 seeding at the Olympics, unless he wins the subsequent India Open, Badminton Asia Championships and the subsequent tourneys post the Olympics qualification period.

Points for each individual player in the situations mentioned above, assuming LCW beats Wacha today:
1) LD: 85375; LCW: 81834; BCL: 68960
2) LD: 82595; LCW: 81834; BCL: 71740
3) LD: 83975; LCW: 83234; BCL: 68960
3) LD: 82595; LCW: 83234; BCL: 70340

nvm..hahahhaha..............

hey badmania..i calculated lin dan to have 85375 points..why do u have an extra 100 points? what did i do wrong?

3) LD: 82595; LCW: 83234; BCL: 70340
In conclusion, BCL will remain as 3rd spot regardless of what happens today.

Then, wouldn't it be better to "let" BCL into the final to strengthen his 3rd spot?

nvm..hahahhaha..............

It takes extra years for Badmania to master the calculation........:D:D thats where you are 100 points different from him....;)

nvm..hahahhaha..............

Typo....done in a hurry :D Thanks for the reminder. Please correct it if there's any other things that I have calculated wrongly :o

In the world ranking as at 13th March 2008, Du Jing/Yu Yang moved to the top spot but Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen dropped to 4th spot. So, expecting YW/ZJW to "win" over DJ/YY in today's SF.

Markis/Hendra and Nova/Liliyana also replaced the Chinese pairs as world number ones. I guess they will further strengthen their positions after Swiss Open.

i think lin dan will win this time so that he can maintains his no 1 in world ranking..lcw is quite near behind him...it does not matter for bcl coz it is quite hard for him to take up the no2 spot..

I really hope the veterans triumph over the tomboys...they should retire in style after the Olympics.

If the ranking point doesn't change BCL's position, is now more important that Lin Dan to stay no.1 spot. To guarantee this, Lin Dan must beat LCW in this tournament and LCW can't catch up with the remaining tournament before Olympic.
Conclusion is that BCL will WO to LD.

Typo....done in a hurry :D Thanks for the reminder. Please correct it if there's any other things that I have calculated wrongly :o

woah!! so im right and ur wrong! this must be my greatest achievement ever! :D:D

badmania how about taufik ranks after swiss open regardly chen jin loss a lot of point (he was the winner 2007) in this tournamant is it now kj in the 4

CJ will be still NO.4!!!!!

provide the point :
4. chen jin 64680
5. kenneth J 58502
6. Taufik 58488

provide the point :
4. chen jin 64680
5. kenneth J 58502
6. Taufik 58488

If Taufik is not in Top4 seeds for OG08, he has no chance to stand in podium. From his current defeats to LCW and BCL, he stands <40% when meeting them again. :eek:

but still a little chance in abc cham i think he will be seeded in fourth at the tournament regards he must defend that tittle

Personally I'm not going to make any predictions until at least June/July! You just can't say how people will be playing in so many months.

The Korean play too defensive in the second game.. Hoping for the Chinese to make mistakes.. wich does not happen

good deception from the net from LeeYD.. 1-1

Both Lee Yong Dae & Lee Hyo Jung will be exhausted today....this will benefit the Uncles & Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen.

LEE HJ must stop commiting too much error in this game

3 all so far.........

3 all now..........

LEE HJ must stop commiting too much error in this game

I noticed this also....in their previous matches.....but if she stay at the back...let LYD control the mid and front....they are lethal.......dont play-play...;)

HHB's turn for errors in receiving shots...

4 all now.........

The chinese can judge quite well for the shots landed in or out of the court..

KOR will not let this XD go........6-5

Both Lee Yong Dae & Lee Hyo Jung will be exhausted today....this will benefit the Uncles & Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen.

not working so far.....:mad:

19 - 15 to chn...its over for the Korean..

Mouth watering finals.... lets hope LD and LCW meets in Final.

incredible rally ended with wrong judgement by HHB 17-19

19 - 15 to chn...its over for the Korean..
still has a chance....17-19........

wow...18-19.......

come on!!!
HHB/YY

The Korean pair clawed back 3 pts...18-19.
But the Chinese pair makes it 20-18...2 match pts.

Kor never give up....18 - 19 now.....level it..kor..sigh....18 - 20 to chn...

too bad we cant watch..must be nail biting match........

Can the Korean force a deuce now ?? Tense moment....

must b crazy match.....19-20......can they make it deuce or over??

LEEYD drop shot into the net.. Game over

Its over ...chn won

wow!!!!!
HHB/YY won!!!!

I guess it is not...HHB/YY goes to final.......

Aiyo..So close for the Korea pair..They can level it if not LYD make the error..Anyway,great fighting spirit there..

Sigh...He Hanbin/Yu Yang take it 21-19 in the rubber-set. What a match....

What's next...XXF Vs XHW...?

Now XXF time to play..Come on,Xu Huai Wen..Ha..Ha..

The Chinese came out on top this time, Chinese should have won the German Open few weeks ago against the same Koreans if Yu Yang didn't smash the wide open shot into the net ...

What's next...XXF Vs XHW...?
Yup..Please support Xu Huai Wen..She is cute too.I like all the cuties..:D:D:rolleyes:

walkover actually works...sigh...too bad nothing can be done to stop them from doing this..I'm sure HHB/YY had the advantage over the korean pair as they entered semifinal by walkover.

May PAWERS died on the first match :(

must b crazy match.....19-20......can they make it deuce or over??
Not at all, although the score tells otherwise
Yu yang was amazing exploited LHJ weakness at the front.

Now XXF time to play..Come on,Xu Huai Wen..Ha..Ha..

I think this will be a short match, XXF should win handily?

LEEYD face looks like js woke up from the bed .. LOLZ.

is the live streaming not working at all? anyone managed to watch the games online? or is it just me? i have tried all 3 courts on the swiss open website but no joy so far.

If stamina is a factor, I would say more important is that the Koreans have been playing too many full-length tournaments (4 I think?) in the past month.

No...Reiko......better...but she lost already...sigh:(

Yup..Please support Xu Huai Wen..She is cute too.I like all the cuties..:D:D:rolleyes:
Then you should support XXF.......she is cutier.......:D:D

The crowds are behind XHW.... Lets see ....

LEEYD face looks like js woke up from the bed .. LOLZ.
How could you say such a cute guy like this...:mad::D:D:rolleyes:

Sigh...He Hanbin/Yu Yang take it 21-19 in the rubber-set. What a match....
The Chinese pair especially He Hanbin was exhausted in the decider but Lee Hyo Jung had too many errors at the beginning of the decider. Otherwise, the Korean pair should have won. Lee Yong Dae was playing well.

Then you should support XXF.......she is cutier.......:D:D
Nope..She is too tall..:rolleyes::rolleyes:..

XXF Hairdo really doesnt suit her...

LEEYD face looks like js woke up from the bed .. LOLZ.

Why..?......i tot he played well in the 1st. game.....does he looked tired....

XU leads 7-4 so far............

If stamina is a factor, I would say more important is that the Koreans have been playing too many full-length tournaments (4 I think?) in the past month.

As much as we hate it, intentional walk has become part of the game as Olympic is approaching. It's not new and has been this way for so long, the only different is China is getting so dominating hence the walk become more frequent and obvious even Li Yongbo publicly admitted the intention.
To be fair, if you put your country into the same position as China, won't you do the same thing?

is the live streaming not working at all? anyone managed to watch the games online? or is it just me? i have tried all 3 courts on the swiss open website but no joy so far.
I think only 1 court is used today for all the matches.

no live stream today is it? : (

The Chinese pair especially He Hanbin was exhausted in the decider but Lee Hyo Jung had too many errors at the beginning of the decider. Otherwise, the Korean pair should have won. Lee Yong Dae was playing well.

They had a WO yesterday and He Hanbin still looked exhausted :eek::confused: ???

Typical Lee Hyo Jung....

is Zatto the one we suppose to use or still the stream on the swissopen 2008 website??

if it's the zattoo, with channel is it??:confused:

I am impressed by Ginseng power. LYD/LHJ both playing in two events basically non-stop in the past 3 weeks. :eek:

Why..?......i tot he played well in the 1st. game.....does he looked tired....

XHW leading 9-5

I am impressed by Ginseng power. LYD/LHJ both playing in two events basically non-stop in the past 3 weeks. :eek:

3 events....German, All-England, Swiss. They were supposed to be going for the Polish Open in two weeks...but withdraw.

Great start by Xu Huai Wen as XXF still not aggresive enough..

So they finally realized that even with Ginseng, they are still human. LOL. :D

Anyway, a more reasonable explanation should be that they already have collected enough points in the past 3 tournaments.

3 events....German, All-England, Swiss. They were supposed to be going for the Polish Open in two weeks...but withdraw.

XHW leading 11-6

surprise, XXF seem like outplayed by XHW, i pawed on XXF, expect her to win the fisr WS title for China in 2008

Xu is strolling 11-6 :eek:

is Zatto the one we suppose to use or still the stream on the swissopen 2008 website??

In the blink of an eye...its now 11-11 :eek::confused:

They had a WO yesterday and He Hanbin still looked exhausted :eek::confused: ???

Typical Lee Hyo Jung....

Yes, the key is Lee Hyo Jung. Is hard to imagine the un-force errors she can make thru out the match and has becoming one of her trade marks. She is very effective and intimidating standing 6' tall in the from net ... Still, she is the only one player that can play WD and XD challenging the Great Wall. Just hope she can be more error-free.

I have tried to find a stream all night (Guang Dong Sports, Swiss Open Website, rtm1 Malaysia) and i think im giving up. And for your info if anyone is wondering, the swiss website sucks, it just doesnt work for me and I am sure I am not alone. I am a Malaysian staying in Singapore, and it really sucks that they are not showing it. sigh. Guess i am doomed. Gnite.

Xu regains the lead back at 15-11.

In the blink of an eye...its now 11-11 :eek::confused:

And is 15-11 now, like Tsunami ? :D

foreverlove, i think theres no live stream today, thats why they are not replyign to us :(

and zattoo, i cant even see the swiss open channel on the list!

XHW leading 17-13

XXF doesn't really show enough belief that she can win this, on long rallies, she becomes too impatient.

The 5 pts advantage is still amazingly with Xu at 18-13.

XXF doesn't really show enough belief that she can win this, on long rallies, she becomes too impatient.

She must have been sick of long rallies ala Wang Mew Choo's in the China Open Final :o

hellooooo~~~
anybody here?
Forget about it...not working today unfortunately............sigh!

no live stream. badminton is not hot in western countries

closing time for Xu....18 -14

XXF is just too careful with her hair do....oops..15 - 19..

She must have been sick of long rallies ala Wang Mew Choo's in the China Open Final :o
She had a very quick game yesterday against ZM........if XXF keeps losing then LYB will be worried....seems that XXF's stamina is not better than last year...is that correct??

Stick to the tried and tested livescore. Thanks God we still have tournamentsoftware. God forbids the India Open without any tournamentsoftware thingy like the Macau and Chinese-Taipei Opens.

Now XXF is more direct, and it pays off.

wow..XXF is fighting back...18-19..oops...deuce..XU is in trouble now

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

Xu is really not good with maintaining the lead...second time she let Xie comes back now...she has a game pt though at 20-19.

game pt for XHW 20-19

Deuce time...not looking good for Xu.

20 all now..........
