INA has 5 representatives for tomorrow's QF matches.

Men's Doubles
Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo [5] -- the Chinese pair has an edge. I hope Rian/Yoke can surprise us tomorrow!

Hendra Wijaya/Yoga Uki Kasah vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [2] -- the veteran pair should take this one.

Women's Doubles
Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti vs Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei -- this one should belong to Rani/Endang.

Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda vs Satoko Suetsuna/Tomomi Matsuda [2] -- the Nippon gals have an edge.

Mixed Doubles
He Hanbin/Yu Yang [1] vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii -- expect a cracking match...and the INA pair can always take this one.

Last time...Rizal/Gres almost won the match..leading 19-15 in 3rd set...

Jo/Greysia got taken out in straight sets... sigh...:(

Order of Play on April 4,2008

Starts at 3 pm ,local time or 5.30 pm ( MAS/SIN/HKG time)

CCM/CCE's career is not over yet. They still have what it takes to be able to compete in the international tourneys. At least the daily sparring sessions with their BAM teammates has not gone to waste.

They have not provided me the scores but at least we know who has won....

It is so ridiculous that we had to pull all resources to get the results...:mad::mad:

It looks that way to me too. CY is the highest ranked player left without BCL and CJ.

It looks that way to me too. CY is the highest ranked player left without BCL and CJ.
The only player that CY needs to worry about is Boonsak and energetic Sasaki.......

:D:D......felt bad that I had to bother them many times.....sigh!:cool::(:p

What happened to the organizers? It shouldn't be that difficult to put the scores up and update them once awhile. Unbelievably backward thinking and acting in such an information era :mad:

Thats right.....given that India is good with IT anyway.....:cool:

Maybe India is looking at the BIgger Picture. :)

Maybe India is looking at the BIgger Picture. :)

HOW big is the picture?:rolleyes:

They have not provided me the scores but at least we know who has won....

CCm/CCE won in 3 sets 21-17/ 12-21 /21-17

HOW big is the picture?:rolleyes:

This is just the reflection of how insignificant badminton is in India, can you imagine if cricket(hope I spell this right) is treated the same way, riot will be everywhere!

CCE/CCM play Jap pair K Masuda
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/India/Matches_FRI.pdf

Looks like we've got a pretty clear indication as to what happens when Malaysian top order retires in the future... Near total annihilation....

Chan/Chew continues to amaze me... Hopefully they can pull through into the finals. I think the chemistry between them is improving and returning to its former glory now that they are working together more and more.

Pity Choong Hann couldn't appear on TV :(

To put in another way, you are resourceful :D

:D:D......felt bad that I had to bother them many times.....sigh!:cool::(:p

Yes Huang, you are very resourceful. India should employ BC members to give updates for tourneys. Sure on time wan.

Looks like we've got a pretty clear indication as to what happens when Malaysian top order retires in the future... Near total annihilation....

.

You mean MS?

CCm/CCE won in 3 sets 21-17/ 12-21 /21-17

Any coaches advising them, since most of our MD already lost ?

You mean MS?

yeah, I meant MS...

Malaysia MS still lacking behind
based on this results..
still have to depend on LCW for
at least 2 years to come....

Pity Choong Hann couldn't appear on TV :(

What do you mean? His match was not shown on TV or he could not appear on a TV interview afterward?

What do you mean? His match was not shown on TV or he could not appear on a TV interview afterward?
Meaning if WCH had beaten LU YI last nite, WCH would be shown LIVE during QTR......

You guys are all forward looking in tourneys than I'm :)

You guys are all forward looking in tourneys than I'm :)

Well, even though the Indian Open lacks most big stars (even from INA), we are interested in knowing how our future prospects do in Hyderabad (esp Towi/Yuli, Rian/Yoke, and Rijal/Grace).

That's why we are both looking forward and forward looking in this tourney ;):p

The only player that CY needs to worry about is Boonsak and energetic Sasaki.......

Boonsak will face Sasaki or Lu Yi for tomorrow semifinal and Chen Yu has easy road to cruise into last round. It seems Sho Sasaki is really nightmare for Park Sung Hwan. Unbelievable, he has defeated Park three times in one month -- quarterfinal of German Open, first round of All England and yesterday third round of India Open.

does anyone knows which court will be shown on tv?

yeah, I meant MS...
yeah, 100% agree with u!
MAS always depends on LCW only in ms..
JUZ LOOK AT INDIA OPEN, LEE CHONG WEI DIDNT INVOLVE IN THIS TOURNAMENT AND ALL THE MS PLAYERS FAIL TO REACH AT LEAST THE QUATER FINAL ALSO!.
MAS ALWAYS DEPNDS ONLEE CHONG WEI ONLY..
poor chongwei:o

Chinese won the 1st set 21-13 easily.......

Match point to the Chinese 20-13......
Match pt?????? :D:D

guangdong sports! maybe its called "gd-tv"
or "gd-sports"

The INA pair could only give resistance up to 13 pts. When the pt was won at 16-13, it was all China.

Rijal and Grace do not look that impressive yet.....Yu Yang clearly looks better at the net...while He Hanbin also has quite a number of smashes in.

Match pt?????? :D:D

Sorry to the Indonesian fans.....set point.......:):):)

Han/Yang continue to dominate.......8-3......

He/Yu lead 11-4. The Chinese pair is a class above the Indonesian pair.

Oh no....Chinese not letting up....11-4.........

An even worse second set as the Chinese pair lead 11-4. It was 3-2 to the INA pair, before Yu Yang's serves won the Chinese pair 5 pts. Rijal looked lost many many times.

Chinese keep on attacking Polii hoping for a weak return........15-6.......

Big big lead to the Chinese ....18 -6.......

GD-Sport in Sopcast broadcast is not working good in my PC...how bout u guys

Yu Yang gave another of her big smashes to Polli's body.....19-6.......

What a one-sided match as He/Yu at match pt 20-7. Yes, CHN won it.

Thanks..then what channels to choose?

Guangdong Sports:D

GD-Sport in Sopcast broadcast is not working good in my PC...how bout u guys

Chinese won 2nd set 21-7............

Guangdong Sports:D
Not working for me in US........sigh!


Too bad that Ina did not do well..Dreamzz predicted that CHN would take it easy....

Next match is between Chen Yu (China) v Anand (India).....

Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii were totally outclassed by the top-seed He Hanbin/Yu Yang as they lost easily 13-21, 7-21. The second set was a mismatch totally....as the Chinese pair was dominant all the way.

next match will be chetan anand vs chen yu!

Next match is between Chen Yu (China) v Anand (India).....
