No confirmation yet about Markis/Hendra, Rian/Yoke and Luluk/Alvent

WD and XD
Still needs some confirmation .

Djarum does not send any players to taipeh.

Malaysia
Been told in MD, MAS will send young pairs only....

Singapore
Eng Hian confirms that they may not send WD,MD and XD to Taipeh, again it will depend on the budget ...

Not sure about TH



.
Correct me if I am wrong... Didn't TH say that he would retire after the Beijing Olympics 2008 ?

Do you believe what he said?:D:D...he has a contract with Yonex...I do not know how many tournaments keft he has to attend but I am sure he may go to Japan. TH has a good contract from Yonex....

Since TH and Aditya are coached by Mulyono,thats why I do not know their schedule.....

Rian/Yoke will participate at taipeh Open and Japan Open

INA WD:

All new combination, cant wait to see their actions:

Greys/Nitya
Jo Novita/Rani
Lita/Endang
Nathalia/Nadia

INA XD:
Anggun/Endang
Lita/Devin
Tantowi/Yulianti
Greys/Rizal (?)

Vita/Lyliana is not going to Taipeh Open, more likely to Japan and China Open.

INA WD:
Greys/Rizal (?)

What's up with this question mark?:confused:
Not sure yet?

Aw, not enuf budget to send juniors?

Meaning there is no confirmation if they are going to taipeh....

Ow, I see. Thank you.

Now let's see what kind of obstacles are awaiting them all.

China, Korea, Malaysia, ROC, Europe countries, all send their strongest team?

Malaysia may send youn ger MD pairs to Taipeh.
Will be less Europeans after OG as well as lack of funding...
I know a ,lot of Europeans prefer to play Bulgarian GP, Dutch GP, Luxemburg GP and Begium Challenge.....

Honestly I am not sure Endang/Lits is good choice..I cnat wait to see Greys/Nitya..Nathalia/Nadia...

Honestly I am not sure Endang/Lits is good choice..
Lack of available girls to pick, perhaps?
I mean, do you have any better idea of who'll be paired with who?

well..not really...as Lita is a bit " tanggung" in my opinion...she does not smash well and cant defend well either...
For sure..Yulianti/Nathalia is not as good as before....Nadia is good double player but pairing with Nathalia remains to be seen...

They should have registered those new combo to Indonesia Challenge but PBSI did not do that...at least to see how lethal new combo will be...Meiliana/Shendy will be in Surabaya Challenge...I guess only Junior pairs will be there.

Alrightie, (badminton in) Olympics is over, so let's set our eyes to this tournament!

teo kok siang..? why did they send teo kok siang? they didnt send chong wei feng?

I heard that Joko wanted to split from Hendra but there is no partner yet......Frans/Rendra ranked # 29 too

How abt Alvent Yulianto/Joko Riyadi for a few tryout first? Joko Riyadi definitely needs a better partner than Hendra (AG)! Hendra is already quite old now, while Joko is only 23 this year and has a shot at the next Olympics if we plan well.

Basically, we have 1 solid pair (Kido/Hendra) and a few other who are capable of making it to the next Olympics:
1. Rian/Yoke (would be 28 by then)
2. Fran/Rendra (ditto)
3. Bona/Ahsan (if they continue to rise up the table, why not?)
4. Joko/another partner perhaps?

no, women double de?

thank you very much chris :)

the M&Q report is already out....

check it out at www.internationalbadminton.org/draws.html

LYD/JJs, Sony, TH all withdrew

Reason?
Taufik is, well, nothing expected from him. But Sony and the Koreans?

Simon Santoso is MS top-seed, thanks to all top-players skip this GP Gold tourney. And INA WD pairs have new combination such as Jo Novita/Rani Mundiasti, Greysia Polii/Nitya, Endang/Lita Nurlita, quite surprising. Good to see many INA youngsters to participate here.

KOR will bring small squad to Taipei, MS/WS/MD youngsters plus the newly-crowned Olympic Champ, Lee Young Dae/Lee Hyo Jung.

Ups? Simon is top seed now? There is no MS top rank go to this tournament? Hope he can win this grand prix, and hope maria kristin win too..

according to seeded entries (http://simplybadminton.blogspot.com/2008/08/s_27.html), simon top on ms, then maria kristin 3rd on ws and tony/candra 2nd on md, so probably 3 champions :)

That isnt a politic, its so different between chinese open and chinese taipe open. Chinese open is SS, Chinese taipei just GP tournament..

yeah, sorry i forgot to put taipei after chinese.
anyway logically it should be the draws of chinese (taipei) open not chinese (china) open since the draws of chinese (china) open should be held after japan open...:)

haiya...no politic pls...
yeah, no politic....hey limsy, why finally chong wei feng withdraws from entry list of taipei oepn? maybe bam wants him to concentrate in japan open?

Jagd, Simon and Maria Kristin will definitely be in finals, who do you think they will meet?

Whoever meet simon and maria in final, be ready for their losses..
No hurtfeeling, hehehe..
Go maria, Go simon..

Jagd, Simon and Maria Kristin will definitely be in finals, who do you think they will meet?
Not so fast. If everything's going well, Maria will meet Saina in SF....
The Indian lady will be pretty determined to avenge her loss in OG.
Pretty dangerous one.;)

As for Simon, again, if everything's going well, perhaps he'll meet Nguyen TM or Uncle Botak (I mean Sairul).

I hope they both can win their first SS. However, saying 'they will definitely be in final' is absolutely overconfident.
Never count the chicken before the eggs hatch, they say.:)

Not so fast. .... Never count the chicken before the eggs hatch, they say.:)

MS - must keep an eye on Tanongsak (or he wants to be so called as SONG). As for uncle botak, don't worry lahhhhh since he can only play straight game, 3rd set will be too tough for him...
WS - Saina 45-55 in favor of Maria kristin. She should meet the German Chinese in final.
Hey friend, just predictions....i even can't find chic nor eggs:)

As for uncle botak, don't worry lahhhhh since he can only play straight game, 3rd set will be too tough for him...
Well, he did beat Sony in the past...

Well, he did beat Sony in the past...

ya kah? Uncle Sairul got beat Sony before? How long ago was this past?? :D:p

Win this tourney? Chinese Taipei Open is categorized GP Gold not SuperSeries tournament. Yeah, hope both Simon and Maria will produce best result here since Japan and China Masters SS certainly will be tough test for them as almost all top-rank shuttlers will participate it.

Well, he did beat Sony in the past...
He ebat Sony in 2 easy sets during Swiss Open 2008

ya kah? Uncle Sairul got beat Sony before? How long ago was this past?? :D:p

He ebat Sony in 2 easy sets during Swiss Open 2008

Based on the entry list, Korea will send small squad,

- WS : Hwang Hye Youn (no Jun Jae Youn)
- MD : Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong
- WD : NONE
- XD : Lee Young Dae/Lee Hyo Jung

Don't know whether there's another last minute withdrawal.

But the OG Champion must have big confidence to beat da world champion again. Hope our XD have beautiful draws. Go nova go butet! lol.

Hehehehehehehe well well I think INA should try and split Nova-Lily this time and prepare younger pair for Butet perhaps....Moh Rijal might be a good choice or even Hendra Gunawan while putting Nova with Vita is another option to go for

Nova and Vita?? Umm.. We wont see tat again. Nova n Butet is stable so far.
Hope, Rijal/Vita would make a breakthrough. Flandy/Grey as well.

hmm..no nathan robertson.:(

hmm..no nathan robertson.:(

He isn't in the sqauds for TPE or JPN open.

I assume he is either resting or training at home until the younger players gain experience and they see which one reacts best. Pretty much all of the above teams with a few exceptions have very little experience in SS or old Grand prix circuit.

NR doesn't really need Tournament experience, especially with a weaker partner who is playing in their first tournaments.

It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't play competitively again until next years SS tournaments (January)

Just realised that both Taipei Open and Japan SS are held in Ramadhan.
Hopefully Moslem shuttlers can handle this.

Sorry, I know religion talk isn't encouraged in this forum.
all INA players are not fasting during ramadhan........

INA players are fasting 3 times each week

From online media that I read, yeah Lee Young Dae/Lee Hyo Jung will not compete Chinese Taipei GP Gold plus Japan SS too.

Badminton Star Enjoys Nat’l Hero Status

SEPTEMBER 06, 2008 07:36

-----------

This month, Lee has returned to the court. He joined the national team Wednesday at the gym of Samsung Electro-Mechanics in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. Though training hard, he will not compete at the Taiwan Open and Japan Open at the end of this month.


His partner needs treatment for her back and shoulders, and he needs rest to recover from accumulated fatigue. He will participate, however, in the National Athletic Meet in South Jeolla Province in November and is preparing attend university.
