Indonesia SS 2008: Day 4 (20 June -- QF)

[jasonmarc]

kudos........HTH/OSH.....in SF...

[shenron]

This HTH/OSH pair is incredible....all games played against INA, JPN and Danes are rubber sets with a close points. Seems a promising pair that Rexy might consider in the future.

[pauline]

LTS level it 11-11

[samuel882]

Lee Tsuen run like a mad man but still fast to react

[robin7]

Cheah Soon Kit vs Hendrawan (battle of OG silver medalist)...

[samuel882]

hoon th wanna proove that he is able to match his previuos partner, Tan Boon Heong, they won WJC title before.

[shenron]

same goes with Tan Bin Shen/Khoo Chung Chiat ... really good young pair!

[eaglehelang]

Thanks kak Helang, I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

Uncle Misty, you can watch on Astro lah. Only we all who dont have Astro....:D

[jasonmarc]

Lee Tsuen run like a mad man but still fast to react

LTS has fitness problem.....he won last long......:o

[Noridayu]

LTS leads 14-12 now.

[shenron]

Rexy always does the best to breed MAS MD players...what about MAS MS? Need an urgent depth in that department also....so far seems not so good.

[Noridayu]

They are level at 14 all.

[eaglehelang]

same goes with Tan Bin Shen/Khoo Chung Chiat ... really good young pair!

And Razif/Tan Wee Kiong, the one who beat Guo/Xie in Spore Open

Thailand Open, they change pair again, Bin Shen with Khim Wah, Wee Kiong with Chna Peng Soon. Then we'll see more excitement from the young guns

[Noridayu]

LTS trails 14-16 now.

[shenron]

yeah...MAS got so many young talents in MD.


And Razif/Tan Wee Kiong, the one who beat Guo/Xie in Spore Open

Thailand Open, they change pair again, Bin Shen with Khim Wah, Wee Kiong with Chna Peng Soon. Then we'll see more excitement from the young guns

[Noridayu]

And Razif/Tan Wee Kiong, the one who beat Guo/Xie in Spore Open

Thailand Open, they change pair again, Bin Shen with Khim Wah, Wee Kiong with Chna Peng Soon. Then we'll see more excitement from the young guns

It is a test for the young pairs before Rexy finalize their regular partners after OG. Malaysia youngsters have proved of their capabilities.

[Noridayu]

LTS trails 15-19 now.

[robin7]

Mistake after mistake by LTS.

[apontoh]

Go Maria....good work beating ZM in game 1.

[Noridayu]

LTS lost 15-21.

[shenron]

Don't think that LTS coult beat SS....

[extremenanopowe]

ok... well done OSH/HTH. Rexy will bring them to manga st again today. Seems to be motivating them well. hehe..

[robin7]

I think ZM is gonna lose...

[Jessica]

And Razif/Tan Wee Kiong, the one who beat Guo/Xie in Spore Open

Thailand Open, they change pair again, Bin Shen with Khim Wah, Wee Kiong with Chna Peng Soon. Then we'll see more excitement from the young guns
Hmm..Really happy to see Mas MD have so many talented and young players.It is good for the young guns to pair up with the experience players too.Sigh..but i am sad with our MS..:o:o

[shenron]

The more and more vanishing star of MAS is Hafiz.....don't know when to shine again.

[Seasider]

Is there anywhere I can watch the game live? Any live streaming? Please help. Thanks.

[samuel882]

SO & IO cannot be used as the measurement to judge the performance of MAS young MD, most of the top pair whom had qualify for OG doesnt seems go for all out .

[Noridayu]

LTS leads 2-1 now.

[Noridayu]

LTS leads 4-2 now.

[eaglehelang]

Is there anywhere I can watch the game live? Any live streaming? Please help. Thanks.

Guang Dong Sports from either Sopcast, TVants or PPMate
Please look thru "Live Telecast" thread

[Noridayu]

LTS leads 5-4 now.

[eaglehelang]

SO & IO cannot be used as the measurement to judge the performance of MAS young MD, most of the top pair whom had qualify for OG doesnt seems go for all out .

The stratch pairs are going up against 2nd tier players, 1st time pairing. Good to gauge their team work, etc.

[shenron]

At least when top guns are out from SO & IO....MAS young pairs did well in these 2 tournaments which means that there are more shining stars in MAS MD at the moment. I believe they will able to beat top guns in the future as they gain more experience.


SO & IO cannot be used as the measurement to judge the performance of MAS young MD, most of the top pair whom had qualify for OG doesnt seems go for all out .

[Noridayu]

They level at 7 all.

[extremenanopowe]

Simon must be hurting. He's legs are heavily wrapped. Hazards of the game.

[Hazeef]

SO & IO cannot be used as the measurement to judge the performance of MAS young MD, most of the top pair whom had qualify for OG doesnt seems go for all out .



yep but its good to boost their confidence and testing the pairing combinations. its a good thing tho that the top pairs are not here...good for the younger players.

[Noridayu]

LTS trails 8-10 now.

[robin7]

Don't think that LTS coult beat SS....
Yeah, it's either straight-game defeat or rubber game defeat...

ok... well done OSH/HTH. Rexy will bring them to manga st again today. Seems to be motivating them well. hehe..
U mean STADIUM... Hehe... Naughty u... :D

[Noridayu]

LTS trails 9-11.

[Noridayu]

LTS close gap at 10-12.

[robin7]

ZM regains the lead @ 16-14...

[Noridayu]

LTS close gap at 12-13.

[samuel882]

Lee looks tired and exhausting now

[Noridayu]

Level at 13 all.

[Misty100]

LTS keep making the same old error, dropping from the right hand side... and he missed that at least 5 - 6 points, yet he keep doing it... stubborn guy!

[Misty100]

OMG, Mr Cheah Soon Kit is so fat now... so ah pek looking... LOL

[demolidor]

LTS keep making the same old error, dropping from the right hand side... and he missed that at least 5 - 6 points, yet he keep doing it... stubborn guy!

:D Practice makes perfect ...

[robin7]

7 straight pts by ZM to go 19-14 up...

[robin7]

OMG, Mr Cheah Soon Kit is so fat now... so ah pek looking... LOL
Yalo, look at his tummy... He has doubled his size of 20 years ago.

[Noridayu]

Level at 16 all.

[Noridayu]

LTS lost 16-21.

[shenron]

Lee looks so tired.....

[hhs1000]

Simon game plan is very boring, but very effective to make LTS looked his age.

[badadum]

Simon wrap it up, 21-16 in 2nd set. He should have good chance against the Japanese youngster tomorrow.

[shenron]

definitely he does not have enough stamina to play against higher ranked player or in a long play.

[Misty100]

LTS looks like a novice, no endurance, no desire to win... lacklustre performance by him, he must be contended to have reached the quarterfinals.

[shenron]

feel pity for LCW ... the only reliable MS player from MAS.

[samuel882]

Ladies & gentleman,
The legendary Tony is on court now!

[Misty100]

mmm... GO TONY, GO CHANDRA! A must win for this pair... the home crowd don't know who to side... LOL

[badadum]

Go go go Tony/Candra!! Beat MK/HS :)

[Seasider]

Ladies & gentleman,
The legendary Tony is on court now!

[Seasider]

I'm on Guag Dong, but its showing soccer instead :(

[winzerer]

Maria must be in an incredibly form after uber cup......and also surprising shendy/mel after satellite tourney in europe are boosting their confidence

[badadum]

Tony/Candra took early lead, 4-1.

[samuel882]

[quote=Seasider;905540]are you watching the game on live streaming? would No. too bad.Sorry I am watching from ASTRO

[samuel882]

Tony smashes like crazy today

[badadum]

Tony/Candra have been losing straight sets to Markis/Hendra. They probably itching for payback.

[samuel882]

CW commited alots errors

[samuel882]

once again the world no.1 banking on HS to deliver

[badadum]

Maria Kristin complete the upsets over Zhou Mi, 21-16 in the rubber game. Not bad at all :)

[samuel882]

Yes ! Tony/Chandra won the 1st sets in 12 mins

[samuel882]

com'on Tony, I purposely reschedule my flight js to catch u in action :)

[winzerer]

Another upsets Shendy/mel over korean pair seeded 8 in straight set

[badadum]

Allrite, the oldies took the 1st set. First time they took a set from Markis/Hendra in awhile :)

[badadum]

Mel/Shendy are from Djarum right? How old are they?

[robin7]

[eaglehelang]

What happned to WC? Retired after winning the 1st game and leading 2nd game? Fishy?

Injury, Wang Chen now represent HK, not China

[luyi80]

Injury, Wang Chen now represent HK, not China
How come suddenly injured? Any insider news? If so, lucky ZL...

[markchan]

Wang Chen won 1st game and leading 2nd game but retired.....

:crying::crying: my PAW-ah! :crying::crying:

[eaglehelang]

How come suddenly injured? Any insider news? If so, lucky ZL...

That one must wait for Krisna, Huang, etc to come back from stadium :D

[robin7]

What a missed opportunity by Tony at the net to give away the crucial pt.

Great rally finished by Hendra. Markis/Hendra @ game pt 20-18...

[robin7]

Injury, Wang Chen now represent HK, not China


How come suddenly injured? Any insider news? If so, lucky ZL...


Wang Chen won 1st game and leading 2nd game but retired.....

:crying::crying: my PAW-ah! :crying::crying:
ZL is very lucky. She will be in deep trouble if she loses the match...

[KlasseE]

Wang is smart, winning a set just to show LYB she is still better than ZL, giving out because she and ZL both came from Shanghai...

[luyi80]

ZL is very lucky. She will be in deep trouble if she loses the match...
And so do me as I paw on her......:D:D:D

[robin7]

What a missed opportunity by Tony at the net to give away the crucial pt.

Great rally finished by Hendra. Markis/Hendra @ game pt 20-18...
Tony/Candra should have won the 2nd game... Sigh...

[robin7]

Tony/Candra are 11-4 up in the decider...

[eaglehelang]

Looks like Uncles going to Semis 11-4 leading mighties

[eaglehelang]

That's means Tony/Chandra will meet our Hoon/Ong. Hmmm...

[robin7]

Tony/Candra are cruising 14-5...

[eaglehelang]

I sorta expected it, Hendra havent fully recovered from illness. A lot of mistakes from him

[robin7]

Ko/Kwon took the 1st game 21-7... :eek:

[robin7]

Uncles 16-9.....

[samuel882]

That's means Tony/Chandra will meet our Hoon/Ong. Hmmm...
Lets pray the Uncles will meet Fuzzies in the final. A great match awaiting:cool:

[robin7]

Uncles 17-10.....

[Tjun Tjun]

I switched from Astro to Trans7...commenting is much better as Indra Gunawan is giving his comments.......Widjaya/Gunawan are taking a commanding lead 17-10........

[Tjun Tjun]

Wow.....uncles are tops.....20-10.............

[robin7]

What a reflect by Candra as uncles 19-10...

Uncles @ match pt. Yes, they won it...

[extremenanopowe]

Camon Malaysia ladies... Boleh.... See you all in Genting. Anyone?

[samuel882]

Great performance by the legendary pair. worth for me to rescheduled my flight :p

[leonardklh]

why malaysia ladies is not playing?

[Misty100]

uh weeee... Tony/Chandra won! :)

[eaglehelang]

Great performance by the legendary pair. worth for me to rescheduled my flight :p


Orang tua manyak kuat... manyak class lah.

Yeah, 3rd set, Setiawan looked tired & mighty mouse looked like already give up near the end. Uncles played very cleverly. Tough fight for Hoon/Ong tomm

[eaglehelang]

why malaysia ladies is not playing?

Waiting for Tony/Chandra vs Kido/Setiawant to finish 1st. Then the fans can move court to cheer for their ladies

[Misty100]

Why the match between MAS and INA hasn't start yet. I heard the announcement calling their names quite a long while ago, why watch the MD's match on Astro Supersport.

[Misty100]

Just now no score, i think the score keeper fell asleep.

Mas 8 : 5 Ina

[eaglehelang]

Upset no 12 (4th for day ) Tony/Chandra (5th seed) beat Kido/Setiawan (1st seed)

[Misty100]

Chin/Wong in front 11 : 6 interval

[Tjun Tjun]

Indra Gunawan has lost some weight........he looks fine on TV......

[eaglehelang]

Looks like the Korean young guns (sorry) are going to make Upset no 13, and they have.

[carine]

INA leading 18-15

[carine]

game pt for INA,20-15

[carine]

INA took 1st set 21-15

[robin7]

MAS gals lost the 1st game 15-21 despite leading 13-7 @ one stage... Sigh...

[apontoh]

MAS gals lost the 1st game 15-21 despite leading 13-7 @ one stage... Sigh...

INA gals are showing their class. Vita/Liliyana could easily be in the top 3 of the world if they were to exclusively concentrate on WD, in my opinion..

[carine]

INA leading MAS,5-4

[carine]

5 all nw..........

[carine]

sony leading 10-6...

[carine]

INA WD leading 7-5...

[carine]

sony leading 11-8

[shenron]

MAS WD always like that....lost most of the time after reaching quarter final....he he.

[Tjun Tjun]

Still got hope 10-8.........jia you Wong, jia you Chin!

[jasonmarc]

MAS WD always like that....lost most of the time after reaching quarter final....he he.

They are trying their best........INA pair is a strong pair ok...! ;)

[jasonmarc]

Wonder where is limsy.............watching live ......?

[Tjun Tjun]

Level again 12-12................

[jasonmarc]

That's means Tony/Chandra will meet our Hoon/Ong. Hmmm...

Hmmm......an up-'Mountain' task ahead.....for Hoon/Ong...:cool:....playing the super uncles.....:D:D

[shenron]

I thought by practicing together with Men's MD could give some motivation for WEH/WPT to break the spell of losing at Quater Final stage. Still has a long way to go before they can become really consistent.

[robin7]

Hmmm......an up-'Mountain' task ahead.....for Hoon/Ong...:cool:....playing the super uncles.....:D:D
Don't underestimate them... Upsets bound to happen...

[shenron]

Give uncles some exercise and make them tired....hehe.


Don't underestimate them... Upsets bound to happens...

[Tjun Tjun]

Hmmm......an up-'Mountain' task ahead.....for Hoon/Ong...:cool:....playing the super uncles.....:D:D

With 2 Mas pairs in the semis, we will be able to catch one of the pairs live on TV tomorrow................:):):)

[jasonmarc]

Don't underestimate them... Upsets bound to happens...

Hopefully..........they will play deuce for three games.......to tired the uncles..........or they themselves got too tired after today hard match....:rolleyes:

[jasonmarc]

With 2 Mas pairs in the semis, we will be able to catch one of the pairs live on TV tomorrow................:):):)

INA TV will definately show this CW/TG match one........;)

[jasonmarc]

Oh....SDK is trailling at the moment......repeating his old habit.....

[eaglehelang]

Don't underestimate them... Upsets bound to happen...
Most ppl I think are expecting our Fuzzy to meet the uncles in Finals. More exciting if different country. Msia vs Msia more boring.


Give uncles some exercise and make them tired....hehe.


Hopefully..........they will play deuce for three games.......to tired the uncles..........or they themselves got too tired after today hard match....:rolleyes:

LOL Jason, uncles wouldnt allow the game to go into deuce like the Danes. Can go into 3 sets, but dont think it'll be duece for all 3 sets.

[jasonmarc]

Helang,...this is the first time i able watch thru GDTV using SOPCAST......

[eaglehelang]

Helang,...this is the first time i able watch thru GDTV using SOPCAST......

finally.......:D Sopcast didnt work last week, offline, so I'm using PPMate today

[apontoh]

Hmm..I have a feeling we might see an upset with Jo/Greys beating the #1 seeds..

[yen_saw]

Sorry your feeling isn't good enough to carry the INA WD on the first set

[badadum]

Stuck @ 15...hopefully Jo/Grace can do better in 2nd set.

[yen_saw]

Still going strong on the second match for the Chn WD.

[yen_saw]

Habis.....

The Chn is no push over which is why they are seeded #1.

[eaglehelang]

Over for QF. Hiyaa, tomm's Semis start at 4 pm Indonesia time. For sure, RTM wouldnt should aft 6 pm Msia time.

5 Upsets for QF :
Upset no 9 : MD, Msia’s Hoon/Ong beat Denmark’s Boe/Mogensen (6th seed)
Upset no 10 : WS : Indonesia’s Maria Kristin beat HK’s Zhou Mi (7th seed)
Upset no 11 : WD, Indonesia’s Wirawati/Jauhari beat Korea’s Ha/Kim (8th seed)
Upset no 12 : MD, INA/USA’s Tony/Chandra (5th seed) beat Indonesia’s Kido/Setiawan (1st seed)
Upset no 13 : MD, Korea’s Ko/Kwon beat Japan’s Othsuka/Masuda (6th seed)

[abedeng]

Just walked into hotel half an hour ago, the MAS squad were at the elevators.

And the Danish team came by with Tine Rasmussen in a lady's dress. Quite weird, never saw her without her playing attire. They were going to dinner, I think.

Anyway, two of our MD still alive at this point, pretty good ....

[Hazeef]

im quite worried for fuzzies tomorrow. the korean young MD seems to be strong, easily beaten ohtsuka/masuda. and fuzzies were struggling during second round against the other yound korean MD pair. hopefully they dun lower their guards down tomorrow. *worried*

[Krisna]

How come suddenly injured? Any insider news? If so, lucky ZL...


That one must wait for Krisna, Huang, etc to come back from stadium :D

Wang Chen kept pointing at her arm... the area around her biceps and triceps... She refused painkiller treatment offered by the medic. Insisted on retiring. Shook Zhu Lin's hand and the ref's to surrender. The incident actually lasted 10 minutes or something because the honorary ref [an Indian looking fellow] refused to let her surrender and insisted that she played. :confused: I don't know why he had to do that. But Wang insisted that she does not want to continue and keep pointing at the area where it hurt.... Wang already carried her bag out of the court when... again, the honorary ref asked her to play on. :confused: So she put her bags down again and argued again that she is really hurt. After 10 minutes of lengthy discussion [that I could not hear], Wang and Zhu finally left the court. :)

[Krisna]

2nd Upset of the Day

Shendy Puspa IRAWATI/Meiliana JAUHARI http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/INA.gif upset Jung Eun HA/Min Jung KIM [8] http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/KOR.gif 22-20 21-15 http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/images/icon_stats.gif (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/match.aspx?id=22171&match=336) 0:31

Ever since the year started, this Djarum pair only lost once :eek: [in Finland]... Denny Kantono [the 1996 Olympic Bronze Medalist] have coached them very well starting January 2008... I think they have a 14-1 record this year or something... :)

[Krisna]

Women's Singles
Zhou Mi [7] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- well done Maria for the victory against Yao Jie today, however, Zhou Mi should prove a hurdle too much for her to handle.

Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung vs Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati -- the surprise result of the day was Mel/Shendy beating the second-seeded Ogura/Shiota. If they can play like today, they might yet again beat the higher-ranked Korean pair. We shall see.


Aren't you glad you're mistaken today, badMania!!! :D


hehe..I think u wrong again in your prediction about Maria..she can reach SF to meet Zhang Ning...let see..:D

Zhou Mi [7] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti

You're one of the few that predicted this, Erwin! ;)


Zhou Mi should be tired after that monster game against Hwang today... and Zhou is not as fit as her younger self [when she was in China]... After 2 full tournaments in a row, her condition can deteriorate quite a bit... I saw a very sluggish Zhou being stretched left and right by Pia in Vietnam Challenge last year... Maria's matches this week were not as tasking...

...that's about all the edge Maria gets. Everything else such as experience, technique, etc. The edge goes to Zhou...

Zhou & Yao could not control Maria's game, unlike in the past... I suppose this is a combination of Maria's improvement and Zhou & Yao's fatique... But Maria clearly showed she belonged in the same class as the 2 ex-China veterans this week... Tomorrow, the real Chinese veteran [Zhang Ning] will really test whether Maria is for real or not! :)

[victory]

HTH/OSH have done very well as a pair so far.congratulation to their win against the Danes. I think Rexy will let them be permanent pair. Well doen Malaysian boys!

[badadum]

Dissapointing results so far for INA MDs squad. Despite going full strength (with the exception of Joko/Hendra AG), our only representative for SF is the legend pair of Tony/Candra. I know HS is still somewhat recovering but was hoping for other pair to do better.

Which reminds me, why Joko/Hendra AG isn't playing?

[ye333]

Let me present a conspiracy theory just for fun. :D

Wang Chen is trying to help Zhu Lin (both of them from Shanghai) in her competition for an Olympic spot (China needs to choose 3 out of 4. Only XXF is 100% safe).


Wang Chen kept pointing at her arm... the area around her biceps and triceps... She refused painkiller treatment offered by the medic. Insisted on retiring. Shook Zhu Lin's hand and the ref's to surrender. The incident actually lasted 10 minutes or something because the honorary ref [an Indian looking fellow] refused to let her surrender and insisted that she played. :confused: I don't know why he had to do that. But Wang insisted that she does not want to continue and keep pointing at the area where it hurt.... Wang already carried her bag out of the court when... again, the honorary ref asked her to play on. :confused: So she put her bags down again and argued again that she is really hurt.

Joko Riyadi was hospitalized while in Singapore last week, just before the first round match started....bad luck.

I was disappointed as well that Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan lost to Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya :mad: Enough said abt Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto with their early exits in the past 2 weeks. I believe the upcoming Beijing Olympics SHOULD BE the last time they compete as a pair.

Meanwhile, with a good draw, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan managed to score their biggest points this week, 5040 for a QF finish in a SS event. They even managed to beat Hoon Thien How/Ong Soon Hock in the Singapore SS R32, the surprise pair of this week.

Rizky Yanu Kresnayadi/Albert Saputra also shocked us by beating their senior Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki.

Is Markis Kido and Hendra going to be another KOO/TAN? Going thru the ups and down now?

Hendra Setiawan has just recovered from a typhoid. Also, they tend to do well after the mid-year (like 2006 and 2007). We shall see....

Ups and downs are phases that most pairs go through, including Fu/Cai (no titles since Korea Open). Unless there's a serious communication breakdown between the 2 players, like between Luluk/Alvent or Koo/Tan perhaps (u should now better on this ;))

Aren't you glad you're mistaken today, badMania!!! :D



You're one of the few that predicted this, Erwin! ;)



Zhou & Yao could not control Maria's game, unlike in the past... I suppose this is a combination of Maria's improvement and Zhou & Yao's fatique... But Maria clearly showed she belonged in the same class as the 2 ex-China veterans this week... Tomorrow, the real Chinese veteran [Zhang Ning] will really test whether Maria is for real or not! :)

maybe one potential upset in WS match: Maria vs Zhang Ning....but if Maria lose to Zhang Ning...at least Maria gives a warning to Zhang Ning that she is one of player who can break Zhang Ning`s chance to win gold medal of Beijing Olympic...:cool:

If ZN lost to Maria...... I have a feeling LYB will withdrew her name and sending XXF, ZL & LL instead to OG.

It's 17-2 to be exact :D


OMG! :eek: You really counted everything! :eek: :p

So, an 89.47% win rate so far in 2008... A loss tomorrow, will mean a 17-3 record [85% win-rate], a win tomorrow will mean a 18-2 record [90% win rate]... :p
