what?
not a single participant?
that's strange, i thought we'd send at least a few juniors.

It is due to the expensive fee including own accommodation and food need to be paid by the participating team not the sponsor.

oh i see, that's a shame.
thanks for the info.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Tanongsak is playing. Great!

Her Royal Highness will also be here!

INA representatives:
MS: Adnan Fauzi, Adi Saputro Nugroho, and Yoga pratama
WS: Yuan Kartika Putri, Melicia Kurniawan, Bellaetrix Manuputty, Febby Angguni, and Tieke Arieda Nigrum (who is she?)
MD: Fernando Kurniawan & Lingga Lie

Somehow PBSI heard Susy's wish, to send more girls to int'l tournaments. This time, more girls than boys.

Melicia Kurniawan is from Tangkas. I am wondering if she's still coached by Liang Chiu Hsia. She was still coached by Liang 2 years ago when I watched the Asian Satellite.

Tanongsak is playing. Great!

Queen Sirikit herself will come? Wow!:eek:

The Princess and the rest of the Thai players trained at the tournament venue (Yio Chu Kang Sports Hall) last night. A friend of mine dropped by to watch but the bodyguards did not allow him to enter.

Are these Malaysian players from clubs or the National squad?

Chong Li Qun, Zulkiffli Zulfadli, Goh Ying Jing, Ooi Swee Khoon, Sutheaswari, MUDUKASAN are from KLRC. Only Beryno Wong from BAM's back up swuad to national team.

Watch out for Zulkiffli. His only 14 and already won Kedah U21 trophy. Watch his match against Singapore Sports School Lenny Tan. SSP player got thrash. He is also older than Zul by 2 or 3 years. I think Singapore will never catch up with Malaysia and you know what, Zul is not the best U14 Malaysian lolz. Sighzzz....Maybe Badminton funding in Singapore should go to other sports.....:confused:

The No. 1 seed for Men Singles, John Moody of New Zealand has withdrawn. Tanongsak is now the top seed.

Is this young Thai boy who beat Taufik in TC? I've never watched him playing but Taufik gave full credit to this young boy... he must be damn good... :eek:

Is this young Thai boy who beat Taufik in TC? I've never watched him playing but Taufik gave full credit to this young boy... he must be damn good... :eek:

Yes, he's the one :)
He got the better of Taufik Hidayat in straight sets: 23-21 21-18

Does anyone remember his loss to Lee Chong Wei in the early rounds at this year's Asian Badminton Championships?
Tanongsak managed to take only 13 points off LCW in each game.

In any case, this lad is worth watching... he is headed for greater glory.
Must say, though, that his name is quite a mouthful: Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk!

some are from clubs and some are from national team:)

So we do have juniors from Malaysia participating after all! ;)

I will certainly make an attempt to watch some matches. :p

You gotta take MC to watch him play on THU and FRI mornings.

INA casualties: Yoga Pratama (MS), Tieke Arieda Ningrum (WS)
MAS casualties: Zulfadli Zulkifli (MS), Ooi Swee Khoon (MS), and Sutheaswari Mudukasan (WS). The latter lost by WO.
THA casualties: Parinyawat Thongnuam (MS) and Bodin Issara (MS)
SIN casualties: Massive!

zudfadhli is 15 years old this year.

SIN casualties: Massive!

Believe most of the casualties are from the Singapore Sports School and a few are from the national team. Fu Mingtian lost to a Korean gal in a marathon match which lasted more than one hour.

The top seed NZ mens doubles were upset by a scratch pair from Singapore.

Congratulations to Singapore's Derek Wong who upset the No.8 seed Beryno Wong of Malaysia in the Mens Singles last 16. He will meet top seed Tanongsak of Thailand in the quarterfinals tomorrow morning.

Looks like the Thais and the Koreans are a force to reckon with in this competition.

The match times are rather unfriendly as most days they start early in the morning and end early in the evening, akin to office hours. I think I could only attend the finals on Saturday. :(

Danny Bawa/Vanessa Neo beat Viki Pelatnas pair Viki Indra/Richi

SIN BA faster than PBSI in hiring new player,
Viki/Richi has been paired for long time. Danny Bawa was BD Junior Winner Kejurnas 2006 paired with Afiat Yuris.

Chung Jae Hee (ex Ra Kyung Ming or Lee Kyun Won 's partner) come back, paired with Chou Min Ho beat "unlucky pair Lingga/Devi 21-16 19-21 23-21

Loh, take MC like Jimbo :D

I can't afford to. I will have no gaji, unlike Jimbo who is so highly paid by his company. :rolleyes:

Just got back from watching the Tanongsak vs Derek Wong match.Tanongsak wasn't motivated to play well and lived dangerously to beat Derek in 3 games.Derek played well but it was not enough.In the decider, there was a poor line call at 14/13 and Tanongsak protested. Since the umpire could not overrule,Tns. requested the referee for a change of linesman. This was turned down and proved a turning point.From then on, some of the Spore crowd got behind Tns. and applauded every of his winning points.The last rally was TNS at his most motivated.He defended successively three times in a row and placed a beautiful, cross court drop to clinch the match.
What SBA officials must remember is that some of the Spore crowd will not tolerate any unfair advantage towards home players and will get behind the non-Spore opponent to tell SBA so.
For a 17 years old, Tanongsak moves with an air of striking confidence. He looks like a future WR1 five years down the road. Has there ever been a Thai MS WR1 before?
It'll be great for badminton if Tanongsak lives up to his potential.

just curious, is the linesman from SG or overseas? :)

errm... how come all the remaining players from Singapore have foreign-sounding names? (my bad...)

But looking at the scoreline, Derek did well and his name sounded really Singaporean.

It was a hard-fought match. Both players showed great fighting spirit http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

I think he's Singaporean. The line judging for this tournament have been poor so far imho. Why are there only two linemen, one on each side.

U must be kidding me... two linemen only? :eek: I tot Asia Satellite is an International tourney? ;) pls... dun be another "KOR" or "CHN" :cool:

Tonight's semi-finals start at 7pm. http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=21653&y=2008&m=5&d=23

Its Korea vs Thailand in both MS semi-finals.

Thailand is assured of one finalist in the WS as three Thai girls made it to the semi-finals of the WS.

See you guys there!

I believe the poor calls were made due to vision problems (aggravated by less than ideal lighting) rather than on purpose like CO and KO.Tanongsak was bothered because that was the second poor call from the same linesman.

Aiyo ...SSP players are all lousy ... they train like other normal schools ..and even get beaten by other normal school what .... SBA players are different ...more professional ....

SSP players like masak masak ...Singapore wasted a lot of $$$$ on the Sports School kids ...should give to the national team ..I think they will do better .

wow, 1st seed tanongsak had lost to a korean player!

Not surprised. Ahn was impressive in his QF dispatch of Kashyap who was coachless(but would still have lost with a coach around except less badly). Ahn has a similar build like PSH but smaller version.

INA representatives:
Tieke Arieda Nigrum (who is she?)


Tieke was the finalist at the 2007 Junior National Championship in December 2007. She was a member of PB. Djarum until that time, but now have moved to PB. Suryanaga Surabaya... :)

Well, out of 3 representatives in final, INA only managed to get one title.
Linnga Lie/Fernando Kurniawan beat SIN pair, Danny Bawa/Chayut Triyachart (INA/THA?) in rubber set, 21-12 17-21 21-19.
I believe they've won 2 consecutive titles. Congrats, then!

I was late for the finals and missed the XD and WS matches. Managed to catch the MS, WD and MD.

My friend aka Mr. Scanner was anticipating a very exciting MS final showdown between 'kimchi' vs 'tom yam kung'. :) Thailand's Pakkawat Vilailak had performed superbly in the semifinals and it was a pity he 'choked' in the finals and made lots of unforced errors.

Had expected a win for Indo WD pair but Permatasari was under heavy attack by the Singapore pair in the second and rubber game.

Fernando/Lingga of Indonesia had good understanding of their partner's game and covered each other very well in the MD finals.

Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari have been a threat to INA WD pairs increasingly. Remember, they beat Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti in the India Open recently. Now, they went on to beat Yulianti/Nathalia Poluakan and Nadya Melati/Devi Tika Permatasari in the Asian Satellite Final to clinch the title.

It's the Eng Hian effect I guess??

Beryno quit BAM last year. He's now with AST Badminton Club in Sabah. Right, jug8man? ;)

Malaysia BC, For your information, Malaysia players who represent Malaysia in this tournament are from the clubs. Malaysia junior squads did not participate in this event.

is shinta from indonesia ?

Yes, I think she came about 3 to 4 years ago with her brothers who also play for Singapore in XD and MD. This is perhaps her best win with Yao Lei so far. She was formerly partnered with Vanessa Neo. :)
