What a bad draw for many MAS MD pair :(
6 pairs were drawn in the top half while in the bottom half UNCLE vs Fuzzy showdown as early in the first round:crying:
SAbrina & KheWei need to face their "senior" compatriots Lim Pek siah/Hau Chiew YEe for their first international matches:(
The Danes were not having lady luck in the draw either : LP/JR; MLH/JE & Bow/Morgensen all placed in the same half:mad:

Hopefully GWJ does well this tournament, he has been a major disappointment.

[koo_fan]

China's decisison to have lin dan out of this tour is questionable.But i agree with it.good for u Lin dan.

Despite of the possibility of lcw to get injured,it may help lcw to gain some inspiring moral support from himself by winning that tour.

I'll just let them handle the pressure all by their own and see the outcomes.
It is in their hand,whether to keep themselves in the cocoons,refused to wake up.
Or,prove to the doomsayers what they are capable of.

hard draw is a factor.But nothing can restrict u when u are ready for everything.
Lets make it sweetheart!!

Highly doubt they will win

[samuel882]

Highly doubt they will win
They are in the process of reclaiming back their confidence, a title in SO or IO doesnt meant anything much except for the higher seeding in OG08.
History prooven they prompt to fail big if they were seeded high

[eaglehelang]

Highly doubt they will win

If they go that is. Rexy said he's thinking of withdrawing KKK/TBH from Spore Open to have them train more for OG. They're not registered for Indonesia, may be training all the way till OG.

That is the more smart option to be taken in my opinion. They must peak in time for the OG to have a chance at the medals, and intense training is the way to go.

And..when will they learn to handle this pressure?
If they have big win in olympic(lets say).Expectations will be back.
So,downhill again?

We cannot list them as one of the best doubles this way.
i will not lose my faith on them.kkk is a special national player for me.Theres no way i will lose my hope on him.Wity the age of 23 and 21.Im glad time is still in their side.

[badMania]

With Kenneth Jonassen withdrawing, the chance is quite big for either Taufik Hidayat or Simon Santoso to make it to the Final.

Taufik Hidayat [3]
R32 vs Anup Sridhar -- tough first round match, but, I think he can still beat the Indian.
R16 vs Sairul Amar Ayob or Q4 (likely to be Kenichi Tago) -- again, manageable tie.
QF vs either Simon Santoso [6] or Shoji Sato or Chan Yan Kit -- ditto
SF vs Boonsak Ponsana [8] or Ronald Susilo -- Boonsak will present a tough challenge for Taufik or Simon.

Simon Santoso [6]
R32 vs Scott Evans -- manageable
R16 vs Chan Yan Kit or Shoji Sato -- tricky, but, Simon should stroll to the QF.

[tjl_vanguard]

bt i still think th will make it to finals.. lets wait n see.. haha

Yeah, on-fire Boonsak is the hardest test for TH or Simon to cruise into final. Overall, it seems bottom-half draw is lighter than top-half which contains heavy-weight players such as LCW, PG or Chen Yu.

With his current form, he will struggle to beat Anup

[george@chongwei]

dont forget peter gade also:)
he may win this tournament but my heart is still with chong wei:p

[abedeng]

Gade was marvellous in Jakarta. Beating a supremely fit younger opponent is no mean feat, something older Asian players will probably not be able to do.

He'll need to do that consistently and possibly better, to win tournaments though... Matches like that will really sap his stamina.

All Eyes On Koo-Tan


By Dan Guen Chin

JOHOR BAHARU, May 28 (Bernama)-- Koo Kim Keat and Tan Boon Heong carry the hopes of the nation at the Beijing Olympics in three months time but until then there are other obstacles to clear.

Like the US$200,000 (RM650,000) Aviva Singapore Open starting at the city-state's Indoor Stadium on June 10 where the Malaysian pair are the No 3 seeds.

There is no denying that Malaysian Badminton Association (BAM) coaching staff are looking at them to provide a heartwarming performance before the big one in Beijing.

And the luck of the draw, which was conducted at the Badminton World Federation office in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday evening, has given them the opening to do so.

The duo will play Singapore's Mohd Azlan Latib and Terry Yeo in the opening round and a possible showdown against China's Guo Zhangdong and Xie Xongbo the No 6 seeds in the quarter-finals.

And all eyes will be on the Koo and Tan combination as they look forward to their revival of fortunes in their bid to recapture the form which has seen them win the gold in the Doha Asian Games and the All-England in 2006.

The Malaysian pair have come under fire lately for their indifferent form but Singapore, as Koo acknowledges, has been a happy hunting ground.

"I have always felt comfortable playing in Singapore. I just don't know why but at the same time I am not putting myself and my partner under any pressure to win the Aviva Singapore Open.

"For me and my partner, we just want to have a couple more competitions before we head to Beijing," said Koo.

But even as the Olympics looms large, the defending men's singles champion Boonsak Ponsana is hoping to make it twice in a row.

The Thai ace is down to play Singapore's Ronald Susilo in the opening round and in the absence of the big three from China- Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin - the field has been left quite open.

Which is probably good news for Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei who is the No 1 seed in the tournament.

Chong Wei is down to play Japan's Sho Sazaki in the opening round and could come up against team mate Wong Choon Hann in the second before taking on Denmark's Joachim Pearsson in the quarter-finals.

And if the 26-year old Chong Wei, losing finalist in the 2004 series, survives, a meeting against 2006 champion Peter Gade of Denmark, seeded No 4, looks possible.

"But the draw doesn't mean anything. I know I will have a tough time in Singapore because there are no easy opponents in the Super series these days," said Chong Wei.

Jonassen the 2004 winner, opens his campaign against England's Andrew Smith and there is a possible showdown with Boonsak in the quarter-finals.

The men's doubles, even without the Koreans and the top Chinese pair of Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng, still pack enough big names to provide the fans value for money.

The Danish have former All-England champions Jens Eriksen and Martin Lungaard and the No 4 seeds Lars Paaske and Jonas Rasmussen; Malaysia of course have Tan and Koo and the old hands, Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah plus the rising pair of Mohd Zakry Latiff and Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari.

But the two pairs face an early exit as they are down to play each other in the opening round.

Indonesia have got their world champion Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan and also Luluk Hadiyanto and Alvin Yulianto, the No 5 seed in the fray.

Malaysia's No 1 women shuttler Wong Mew Choo is seeded at No 4 and is being looked as a potential winner in the absence of the big two from China, Xie Xinfang and Zhang Ning.

The No 1 seed is France's Pi Hongyan, the 2006 champion, and at No 2 is Tine Rasmussen, the 2006 All-England champion.

[badMania]

With Kido/Hendra out of the Singapore Open 2008, Koo/Tan should meet Luluk/Alvent in the SF of the MD.

Historically, Team INA has better luck in tourneys starting from Singapore Open onwards. So, let's hope the players can deliver the usual 1-2 titles from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

INA has won only 2 titles in GP Gold events and above (MD Malaysia Open SS 2008 and XD in the BAC 2008) prior to the Singapore Open this year. Last year, I believe we won only 1 (Taufik in the BAC 2007) prior to the event.

[jimbo]

Cant wait to watch the showdown between Susilo and Boonsak. Both are good players... one is defending champion, and one is local king :eek: Lets hope the best player to win... Go go susilo... :D

[Loh]

That is the more smart option to be taken in my opinion. They must peak in time for the OG to have a chance at the medals, and intense training is the way to go.

I hope they got their planning right. It is necessary to have high level matches to sharpen the players' overall game, including the mental aspects. Just training and training to try to reach 'peak' form without testing one's abilities in the court may be counter-productive and may not be a wise move.

Some may contend that the players may suffer from injury in a competition, but even in training this could well happen. And as regards keeping one's 'secret weapons' from opponents by not competing may not be the best strategy as once on the court, the top-calibre and experienced opponents will soon get wise to the so-called secret weapons and counter them effectively within a short time.

A top-rate tournament provides the players with as much of the necessary ingredients for demanding matches expected in the Beijing Olympics. To deprive the players' from such a real test may prove detrimental in the end. For no simulation exercises can replace the real ones.

Anyway, it is the coaches' decision in the end and they will be the ones partly responsible for the outcome. Hopefully it will turn out to be exactly what they expect. :rolleyes:

[jimbo]

SBA should hire uncle Loh as "Chief Strategiest" :D I'm sure Susilo or Kendrick will shine in SS/OG :)
