According to the report in sports.sina.com.cn, Bao Chunlai and Xie Xingfang also withdrew :eek: Meanwhile, Chen Jin was reported to have won yesterday too....(maybe first round's match, which was actually a bye)

据悉，由于奥运积分足够，原本报名参赛的鲍春来 (http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1247685455)与谢杏芳均挂出“免战牌”。

How about this?

他们除了参加印度公开赛，还将参加马来西亚公开赛。
Besides India Open, they(XIE Zhongbo/GUO Zhengdong) will also participate Malaysian Open.

:eek:
Another Malaysian Open?


Why did Wang Lin withdraw? :confused: Another team decision?

India Open is shaping up to be another Macau Open... Even worse this time... we don't know whether the results are real or not.

Another Malaysian Open?
Why did Wang Lin withdraw? :confused: Another team decision?

They are referring to the Badminton Asia Championships to be held 2 weeks later in Johor Bahru.

As for Wang Lin, like Wang Yihan she never comes into contention for an Olympic spot anyway. The race for China's last spot will focus on Lu Lan and Zhu Lin.

Just did a couple of digging for news.....and Bao Chunlai is CONFIRMED not playing in the India Open.

From the Indian Express:


Top seeds pull out The women’s field thinned down by a slab — with top-seed and world no 1 Xie Xingfang pulling out. The Chinese cited injury — through a letter submitted to the tournament director on Wednesday. Later at night, it was confirmed that men’s top seed Bao Chunlai would not be playing the tournament either.

ROUND 3

Men Singles
*1 Bao Chunlai (Chn) vs Liao Sheng Shiun (Tpe)
Nguyen Tien Minh (Vie) vs *5 Boonsak Ponsana (Tha)
*4 Park Sung Hwan (Kor) vs Sho Sasaki (Jpn)
*6 Wong Choong Hann (Mas) vs Lu Yi (Chn)
Chetan Anand (Ind) vs Hsieh Yu Hsin (Tpe)
*3 Chen Yu (Chn) vs J.B.S. Vidyadhar (Ind)
Yeoh Kay Bin (Mas) vs Anand Pawar (Ind)
Chong Wei Feng (Mas) vs Andrew Smith (Eng)

I would like to inform your guest J.B.S, Vidyadhar has been qualified to meet Chen Yu; not Chan Yan Kit. I got confirmation result from Indian player. Vidyadhar beat Yan Kit 21:14, 21:18 in Round 2.

Sho Sasaki def Park sung Wan

any other result? chong wei feng and wong choong hann?

Sho Sasaki def Park sung Wan

Wow....Sho Sasaki must be Park Sung Hwan's nemesis, having beaten him 3 times in a row now in a space of less than 2 mths (German Open, All-England and now Indian Open) :eek:

Wow....Sho Sasaki must be Park Sung Hwan's nemesis, having beaten him 3 times in a row now in a space of less than 2 mths :eek:

Park is allergic to Sasaki... :p

Wow....Sho Sasaki must be Park Sung Hwan's nemesis, having beaten him 3 times in a row now in a space of less than 2 mths :eek:
Thats what Filipa Told me..now she went back to Portugal.....:(

wah, brother hau, are you mates with all the players?
i have to meet up with you at a badminton event some day, then you can introduce me to your baddy buddies.

Park is allergic to Sasaki... :p

Precisely...unbelieavable set of results....considering that Sho Sasaki lost to Park Sung Hwan in the Thomas Cup qualifiers barely 2 mths ago. Since then, Park lost all 3 encounters to the Japanese player :eek:

Sho Sasaki def Park sung Wan

Sho Sasaki have been defeating PSH every time they met...since German Open...........:eek:..impressive show by the japanese:p

Jo Novita/ Greysia lost to Singapore pair

Jo Novita/ Greysia lost to Singapore pair

Sigh....last chance for Olympics spot at the Badminton Asia Championships....

Endang/Rani def Akao/Matsuda
Kamila/Nadiezda def Chau/Koon

Is that mean all the MS match already completed, any one can update the results for MAS MS? thanks

Endang/Rani def Akao/Matsuda
Kamila/Nadiezda def Chau/Koon
Lita/nitya def Chou/Yang ( this one, I need another confirmation)

Hmmm....first time in ages that Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti are able to beat a Japanese pair! They are most likely to beat their opponent tomorrow Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei to book a place in the last 4! A good week in Hyderabad for them and a morale booster for their Olympics hopes.

They have lost:
4 times to Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota the past 2 years (3+1)
2 times to Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda last year

They must be sick of those Nippon gals :o

As for Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda, a timely progress as well, with their best performance so far in a QF placing for a GP Gold event. A victory probably against Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda tomorrow will be a bonus :cool:

Any INA players go to the next round????

So far:
Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii (facing the top seed He Hanbin/Yu Yang tomorrow)
Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti (facing Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei tomorrow)
Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda (not confirmed according to Hau-Ge).

So far:
Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii (facing the top seed He Hanbin/Yu Yang tomorrow)
Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti (facing Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei tomorrow)
Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda (not confirmed according to Hau-Ge).

Guo Zendong/Xie def Devin/Anggun
Rian/Yoke def Fang/Lee ( YES)

Guo Zendong/Xie def Devin/Anggun

Great!! Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki have progressed to the QF! They will face Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo tomorrow. It will mark a real progress if they can beat the Chinese team's 2nd MD pair.

You have to win some PAWs for us......:D:D

ok, we won the first one, so you owe me one already, let's make that AE2009.

if we win this next one, i'll pick the WC2009!

I can't believe it, Sho Sasaki seems to be a force to be reckoned with in the future... hopefully he won't turn out to be another of the promising Japanese MS but go no where eventually.

I fell asleep on the table waiting for the results.... Vching is back in the forum! :D

Just one more result now..Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs the Polish dynamic duo.

Revised MD results:


Chan/Chew def Hwang Jiman/Lee JaeJin
[/quote]

If this is confirmed, then CCM/CCE seems to have found the formula to beat at least Korea's 2nd pair.

Men Singles:

Lu YI def Wong Choong Han


Hiyaaa, uncle WCH will have to work harder in ABC to maintain top 16.

Ouch....Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man (the German Open champion and All-England runner-up) got beaten by Chan Chong Ming/Chew Choon Eng. That will make the road to Final easier for Tony/Candra perhaps?

In the XD, Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti managed to increase their points against He Hanbin/Yu Yang....15 and 16 this time, vs 10 and 12 at the German Open 2008. So, a noticeable improvement from this promising XD pair. I wouldnt lose too much sleep about their loss....given they have won 3 titles last year, including the Vietnam Open GP. A nice job in getting 2720 additional pts to strive for top 20 ranking by end of this year.

Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii continue their fine run after their absence for so long in qualifying for their 3rd QF this year. Let's see how they fare against the World No 3 today. I predict another 3-setter.

Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita's loss further confirm my suspicion that this pair can only be a backup pair and not INA's main XD pair after the Olympics. PBSI to groom Towi/Yuli and Rijal/Grace to be the successor of Nova/Butet and Flandy/Vita.

In the MD, a credibe effort by Anggun Nugroho/Devin Lahardi as they won 16 and 19 pts against Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo. More hopes will be placed on the non-Pelatnas pairs of Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki and Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya. Tony/Candra should enter the Final now, while Rian/Yoke face an uphill task against Guo/Xie today.

In the WD, disappointment for Jo Novita/Greysia Polii as they lost ground to their compatriot Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti in their bid for an Olympic spot. Jo/Grace lost meekly to Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia...esp in the first set. However, Rani/Endang fought against the Nippon gals bravely and won in a tough 65 mins battle. If Rani/Endang can somewhat emerge champions here, then, Jo/Grace can say goodbye to Beijing.

Finally, Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda prove that they will be INA's main WD pair after the Olympics (with Jo Novita and Vita Marissa's impending withdrawal from Pelatnas). They beat the Chinese-Taipei pair in 3 closely fought sets 20-22, 21-14, 21-19. The match lasted 80 mins :eek:

wah, brother hau, are you mates with all the players?
i have to meet up with you at a badminton event some day, then you can introduce me to your baddy buddies.

Hau-ge, only introduce him to pretty girls only hah. :p

Hau-ge, only introduce him to pretty girls only hah. :p

i search through every page and are now very blur:)

Just did a couple of digging for news.....and Bao Chunlai is CONFIRMED not playing in the India Open.

From the Indian Express:


Top seeds pull out The women’s field thinned down by a slab — with top-seed and world no 1 Xie Xingfang pulling out. The Chinese cited injury — through a letter submitted to the tournament director on Wednesday. Later at night, it was confirmed that men’s top seed Bao Chunlai would not be playing the tournament either.

If Xie Xinfang's injury is bad, China's chances of winning the Uber Cup won't change. But if both Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin are heavily injured, then their chances of winning the Thomas Cup become significantly less!!! ;)

If Xie Xinfang's injury is bad, China's chances of winning the Uber Cup won't change. But if both Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin are heavily injured, then their chances of winning the Thomas Cup becomes significantly less!!! ;)
If this really happen, I might be happy for a few seconds...but, come to think of it...it will be less entertaining n competitive....
