Maria Kristin Yulianti

[copadh]

Does the Olympics Games result count for world ranking points? Anybody knows how much it counts and Maria (and Zhang Ning) ranks next Thursday?
Big thanks

[abedeng]

Yup, it follows World Championship ranking pts. Ranking pts from last years World Championships will be superseeded.

[badMania]

I think Maria Kristin will rise up to WR15 or 16 by next week. Not too bad.

Thank you, abedeng...
Does it mean 4.800 points Maria got from round 16 in WC'07 will be deleted, and 8.400 points will be granted as a bronze medallist in OG'08? It will gives her 3.600 added points for 35.223 points she had now, right?
I'm still novice on this...:D

Dear moderators,
now that OG is over, woudn't it be better if this thread moved to the Professional Players forum?

meanwhile, here is an article about Maria from The Jakarta Post.
==============

Maria Kristin Yulianti: New face in women's badminton Primastuti Handayani, The Jakarta Post, Beijing

She walks slowly onto the court with a blank face. When the match begins, she looks like she will not chase after the shuttlecock. Please welcome "Queen of three games" Maria Kristin Yulianti of Indonesia!


At the age of 23 (a little older than your average Asian shuttler) Maria earned a bronze medal in the women's singles badminton competition at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.


This was an achievement in itself since none of Indonesia's entrants in the same event four years ago (in Athens) were able to qualify.


"The result surpassed my personal target of making it to the quarterfinals. Of course I am happy," said Maria who is currently ranked 21 in the world.


Top seeds may ask how she did it. Maria not only upset Danish sixth seed Tine Rasmussen in the 16th round, but also blocked the Chinese from making a clean sweep of the medals by defeating third seed Lu Lan 11-21, 21-13, 21-15.


Born in the coastal town of Tuban, East Java, Maria began practicing badminton at the age of 10 in her hometown, before joining the Djarum club in 1998.
Djarum (based in Kudus, Central Java) is one of the biggest badminton clubs in Indonesia, however Maria was not happy there.


"I hated badminton back then. The reason why I joined the club was because my father forced me to, but if it was up to me I would have chosen volleyball."


Maria's father, Yuli Purnomo, loves Badminton and still coaches children in the neighborhood. But neither of her siblings -- Krisnathan Yulianto and Magda Thalia Yulianti -- took to the sport.


It took Maria eight years of intensive training at the Djarum club before she grabbed her first title at the Surabaya Satellite.
"I realized badminton was my life. I preferred badminton to study, so I had to dedicate myself to it," she said.


The year 2005 was a turning point in Maria's sporting career. She and the other national female shuttlers -- who for the first time in history failed to qualify for the Uber Cup women's team championship -- were given an ultimatum by the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI) to improve their form or leave the national training center.


The PBSI called in the 2000 Sydney Olympics silver medalist and 2001 world champion, Hendrawan, to coach the female shuttlers.
At that time, Hendrawan said he could get them medals at the 2008 Olympics -- and he kept his promise.


"This victory is for Hendrawan. He was the one who got me this far. I didn't expect this to happen. Hendrawan not only taught me badminton, but he taught me how to deal with life," said Maria (who is now coached by Hendrawan's former assistant, Marlev Mainaky) after the bronze medal playoff match.


Hendrawan not only trained the girls in badminton technique, but also boosted their motivation in off-court matters.
"He's democratic. He allowed us to argue and have discussions and he has a good sense of humor. Hendrawan often gave us guidance and evaluated our performance -- especially at major events," Maria added.


Hendrawan and Marlev have different play techniques, Maria said. "While Hendrawan is good in long rallies and lobs, Marlev prefers drives and fast rallies."
The loyal reader of Detective Conan (manga) is now ready to take on more responsibility.
"We have proven we can improve. PBSI should not discriminate against us with the male players," she said.


Even 1992 Barcelona Olympics gold medalist Susy Susanti praised Maria's achievement.
"Women's singles players need more opportunities to prove they can follow in Maria's footsteps. We need new talents to support her," Susy said.


When asked if she was ready to be the next Susy, Maria answered, "Susy has everything."
"I still have a lot to learn to become like her."


But with her recent win, Maria's name will never be the same.

Her play will be carefully studied & analyzed by the Chinese coaches from now on since OG08, she becomes a major threat to the Chinese superiority in WS. Will she replace ZN as either #1 or #2 at the world ranking list?

World #1 or #2? Unlikely... :p But given her recent performance [and if it continues], I will not be surprised if Maria can break the top 10 by the beginning of next year... ;)

We certainly hope so. She will be in the top 16 by end of this week (when the ranking table is out). Players like Zhang Ning, Xie Xingfang, Xu Huaiwen, Wang Chen, Pi Hongyan, and Tine Rasmussen have either expressed their wish to retire or will be retiring soon. So, Maria Kristin surely can break into the top 10 pretty soon.

The new top 10 will be filled with players like: Lu Lan, Zhu Lin, Wong Mew Choo, Zhou Mi, Yip Pui Yin, Jun Jae Youn, Saina Nehwal, and Maria Kristin :)

OMG, you're right! If those 27+ year-old players all retire, then Maria could be a top player! :eek: ...vacancy[/I]... :p] But seriously, [B]Wang Yihan is a very good talent and a future top player... Wang Lin... er what happened to her?!? Lost focus or something... puberty problems maybe...? :confused:


i think it's too fast too judge her as cengeng or fragile..
it just sucks too lose when u are so close to win
and it's hard to accept even when you try to.. ;)

There is a possibility that Maria will cry too if she is the #2 ranked player on Earth and then loose the Bronze medal game to the #21 player from China at that time... :p

[indra]

The 2009 All-England WS Champion will be MARIA KRISTIN OF INDONESIA:D

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

Let see her games on next ss.. Chn taipei n japan open.. If she is stable then i'm sure she is gonna be one of baddy stars.. Hopefully, she'll get more prestigious title such as AE n WC.. Go Maria.. U're best 4 us!!!

[SpursIndonesia]

Any analysis regarding her nagging knee injury ? Will it be her achilles problem in her attempt to be a top, consistent, worldclass player ? Is she still developing and will still get better in the next few years as her young(er) competitors are getting better too ?

[giant]

i was surprise she could kill tine tis time..even china players have to beware of her..i duno her so cant judge and compare her performance this time and last time..but i think she is ok in the game this time..

Yes it was from one of the posting recently. I just feel strange how come there is none whatsoever of Maria Kristin thread even after she won the bronze medal at this Olympic. Maybe we should use this thread to compile more info on her, more pictures, profiles, achievements, personal life etc as long as any info pertinent to her and badminton career. It will definitely be an inspiration. After watching her sudden surge of fame in this Olympics, my daughter who is a hard core fan of hers demanding me to send her to Djarum to get trained.....she has been looking at the PB Djarum website and felt in love with the school and its facilities. I hooe this is not "panas panas tahi ayam" phenomena. You know what i mean !

[Jagdpanther]

Look at those wrappings!
Mothers will not allow their daughters to play badminton if they see this!:eek::o

I so proud to maria! She bring a hope for our woman shuttlers!!
Go go go!
Hope firda, pia, nana and others can take a new spirits and be a great woman shuttlers in this earth..

There is a thread on Maria Kristin in the 'Olympics 2008' category... :p But yes, none in the 'Professional Players'... If you visit the PB Djarum website, there is a profile on Maria Kristin... :D Her hobbies, favorite food, favorite TV show etc... :cool:

[Armor_tec_14]

After her performance in the olympics..shes become one of my favourite player

[16FeathRPassioN]

well she's a clever player, i just saw her playing in BO , but i don't like her attitude at the court, her stance makes me feel so itchy ...:)

[alternat0]

Maria Kristin is Indonesia's 2008 Olympic real hero!!!
not MKido/HSetiawan ;) i love them for winning us a gold medal. but they are expected too, they're ranked #1, seeded #1.
but Maria play well above expectation. winning bronze??? that's crazy, but not as crazy as beating Lu Lan, even dominating the second & third sets. proving that she's an adept tactical player. her tactic was not to give lob shots and press toward the body or Lu's left/backhand side.
hopefully with more physical training and international exposure, she can achieve more. (but i still fancy Firdasari over her actually ;)

Thank you for the info. I will definitely check it out later. In fact the last time i surfed the website...i actually was impressed with the facilities....quite huge, clean, and well built to be an international class training center even located in Kudus.

[abesadi]

Yup, maria kristin is a hero! Nobody expect her to get medal in OG, but she did it. She never give up in every match, even though her opposite have a high rank than her in BWF rank..
Thats a good lesson to other INA shuttlers, they must have a great attitude like Maria Kristin

Bonus 150 juta Buat Maria Kristin lokasi: Home (http://www.jakartapress.com/) / Berita (http://www.jakartapress.com/news) / Surat Pembaca (http://www.jakartapress.com/news/cat/surat_pembaca) / [sumber: Jakartapress.com]

Minggu, 24/08/2008
Kudus - Cuaca panas berawan menyelimuti GOR bulutangkis Djarum, Jati, Kudus. Sebuah mobil Kijang Inova yang membawa Maria Kristin masuk di pelataran GOR termegah di Asia Tenggara itu. Kedatangan peraih medali perunggu bulutangkis tunggal puteri Olypiade Beijing 2008 itu, disambut kalungan bunga dan lagu mars atlet. Tak mau ketinggalan puluhan pebulutangkis junior binaan PB Djarum ikut menyambut pahlawan bulutangkis.

Sambutan yang meriah ini cukup mengejutkan Maria Kristin yang kedatangannya ke Kudus hanya untuk berlibur di tempat ia pernah digembleng di PB Djarum. "Saya sama sekali tidak menyangka mendapat sambutan seperti ini. Sebab, niat saya ke sini hanya untuk berlibur mengunjungi adik-adik", ujar Maria Kristin.

Kegembiraan Maria semakin bertambah karena Maria juga mendapat bonus sebesar Rp 150 juta dari PB Djarum, atas prestasinya menyumbangkan medali perunggu di arena bergengsi Olympiade. Apalagi prestasi Maria meraih medali perunggu sebenarnya diluar target. "Saya sendiri tak menyangka Maria bisa maju dengan pesat. Dulu Maria ini terkenal dengan si lamban. Pergerakan kakinya lamban, hingga pukulannya banyak yang mudah diantisipasi lawan," ungkap FX Supanji, Ketua Persatuan Olah Raga (POR) Djarum.

Sebelum berhasil meraih medali perunggu, lawan- lawannya yang merupakan pemain unggulan dengan peringkat diatasnya berhasil ia tumbangkan. diantaranya adalah Julianne Schenk dari Jerman peringkat ke-13, Tine Rasmussen asal Denmark peringkat ke-4, dan Saina Nehwal asal India peringkat-15. Akhirnya akhirnya kalah dari Zhang Nin di semifinal. Maria meraih medali perunggu setelah mengalahkan Lu Lan.

Key news points [in English]:
Maria Kristin receives 150 million Rupiah from her club, PB. Djarum. Maria was on a one day vacation to visit her younger clubmates and former coaches [from when she was trained in Kudus, as a young child]. She was greeted as a badminton hero by all the current trainees with a parade of rackets, flowers, and chants of the PB. Djarum badminton-mars-song. "I didn't expect to be greeted like this. Actually, my intention in coming here is just to spend holiday and to meet my fellow younger clubmates." :)

From other newspaper articles I read in Indonesia, they said Maria cried a lot that day because she felt very honored by the welcome-reception in Kudus. She said that in 2008 she improved her big weakness in the past: her footwork. With stronger and faster legs, all her other gamesmanship became more lethal and effective.

He he he... true, all true. And how many Super Series have she won up until this minute? :p She got Rp 150 million from Djarum... in addition to the Rp 150 million she got from KONI. For Maria, it is her biggest pay-day ever. ;) And yes, you're also right, the reward for Silver and Gold are way different. KONI said Rp 150 million for Bronze, Rp 300 million for Silver, Rp 1 billion for Gold. :D

Cool... :cool: Upward-revisions are always welcomed... ;)

As for those who didn't get any medals... well, INA have long rejected the Communist ideals [of giving loosers rewards]...

Thus, we should keep embracing the idea that rewards are for the high-performers. Bigger rewards are for the very-high-performers... ;) The so-so participants, [however hard they've tried] should not be financially rewarded. Rewarding non-performers is not a good practice. They should just get pep-talks on how to do better in the future.

That's life. And that's the way it should be.

Wanna see maria's games soon in Taiwan,,, many peopleare gambling bout her....

[Krisna]

wew,,
too bad she lost to pia..
maybe she has to practice harder. lol:D

I already saw that Maria was too tired after the Olympics... She had to go to so many non-badminton functions... She is considered a sports-hero and thus a semi-celebrity in INA now... :p Many [powerful] people invited her to this-that event... and hard to refuse them... :p I heard that after KKK-TBH's 2007 All England win, many political leaders used them for campaigns etc. too... :p

gosh no,, hopefully it will never happen to ina baddy players,, enuff to see artist on politics,, enuff to see ONE athlete in PBSI politics too,, :D...
well,, i think maria's lost is just caused by tiredness or Pia is already now the weakness of Maria.. hopefully Maria can prove herself again in China or Macau Open,, since she is gonna face the hardest rival again.,,

for Icuk,,, TOBAT!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

[hansonlouphers]

enuff to see ONE athlete in PBSI politics too,, :D...
for Icuk,,, TOBAT!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

bwahahaa your big ONE is too funny.. :D

kinda boring when i saw him on Metro TV lastnite.. beuuh.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Go Maria Go...she's now too tired to give signs.. and photo requests.. hohoho..

[aulia]

She advanced to the next round. Beating Firdasari straight sets. All the best for her. :)

[hansonlouphers]

yeaaa.. she deserves to win...

[Felix.]

Maria adds another top 10 victim under her already impressive casualty list since Indonesian Open this year.

So it's Zhou Mi, Zhang Ning, Tine Rasmussen, Lu Lan and now Wong Mew Choo. That's 5 of the current top 10 players. Nice work.

XXF and Zhu Lin will be next victim?? hehee... :p

[limsy]

XXF and Zhu Lin will be next victim?? hehee... :p

[hansonlouphers]

both not in JO now...maybe next tournament...:D

yea.. wateva tournament they will attend to:D:D:D

[limsy]

yea.. wateva tournament they will attend to:D:D:D
i dont think xxf will play anymore...and still...zhu lin might go hk...;)...keke...

[etudiant]

becoz of ng wei...yeah u right...

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

yeahhh maria won,, just saw it,,, tomorrow match will be very tight since Lu Lan has revenge motif,, can't wait to see the score,,,
For all offensive players,,, or others top ten seeds,,,Watch Maria!!!,,, She'll come into you!!! hahahaha,,,,

[limsy]

becoz of ng wei...yeah u right...

hmm...zhu lin tell lyb that she will not there for 2012 OG in london...

mayeb he go hk...then...hk will have:zm,wc,yippie and zhu lin...what a force in uber...:rolleyes:...

[DSX10]

Maria needs to get knee surgery ASAP!

[etudiant]

care to explain the reason..DSX10?

[hansonlouphers]

i dont think xxf will play anymore...and still...zhu lin might go hk...;)...keke...

she's really retire, huh??? i think Lin Dan wont marry any soon.. hehe:p

[DSX10]

care to explain the reason..DSX10?

I'm just concern about her nagging knee injury, and according to Maria's statement in INA newspaper she said she wont get knee surgery because she's afraid that she cant play as well as before the surgery ... well something like that, but i think that the longer she let it untreated it will cause her much bigger problem in the future.

[hansonlouphers]

yeahhh maria won,, just saw it,,, tomorrow match will be very tight since Lu Lan has revenge motif,, can't wait to see the score,,,
For all offensive players,,, or others top ten seeds,,,Watch Maria!!!,,, She'll come into you!!! hahahaha,,,,

Lu Lan is really on fire up today...she's gonna make a tricky game..hehe:rolleyes:

[etudiant]

XXF will play until AG 2010 which will be held in her hometown...Guangzhou..according to badzine...

[hansonlouphers]

i think XXF wont be retire soon.. she just lets junior to get more experience on the court..

[limsy]

sorry for off topic...she tell my friend in person after OG...that she will retire...but then...seem like she is struggle against her own decision...

[etudiant]

yeah u right limsy...its like 2nd biggest decision to be made in her life to be retired from baddy...after decision to be married by LD of course...he..he..sorry too for off topic...

[Krisna]

Maria defeated WMC today on the way to a quarterfinal seat at JO 2008... So, basically, Maria has almost beaten everybody in the WS Top Ten, except for XXF and ZL... Did Maria ever beat the Korean top WS? I forgot...

[Krisna]

Oops, I also think Maria has not defeated Wang Chen, Pi Hongyan, and maybe also even Xu Huaiwen...

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

Oops, I also think Maria has not defeated Wang Chen, Pi Hongyan, and maybe also even Xu Huaiwen...

She will,, they'll get their turns.. :D:D:D

[hansonlouphers]

Maria Kristin is never won over Xu Huaiwen before..

[aulia]

Lu Lan had her revenge....won 13-21, 22-20, 22-20....:(:(

Hehe, Good job from both players... what a match...

[hansonlouphers]

Lu Lan had her revenge....won 13-21, 22-20, 22-20....:(:(

Hehe, Good job from both players... what a match...

its just a SS.. not an Olympic.. hehhee..

[nick.h]

its just a SS.. not an Olympic.. hehhee..

nice! i like this and, true enough!:D

[aulia]

its just a SS.. not an Olympic.. hehhee..

If Lu Lan must wait until 2012 to have her revenge, she must be so....bad, hehe... keeping grudge 4 years...hehe...:p:p

[alternat0]

i had high hopes when she won the first set. but after losing the second set i just knew she would lose. i told my roommate - we were just looking at the scores on the net - and he didn't believe me ;) i hate to say told you so.

but still, people should keep an eye on her. several more 5 star competitions and she'll be up there with the others. eventhough not in ranking, but in reputation.

too bad she couldn't finish off Lu Lan today. if it happened, she will be Lu Lan's nightmare for sometime.
if you get beaten by somebody several times straight, it somehow sticks in your head everytime you meet again on the court. its a mental state, and i believe its one of the most important thing on professional level, because skills are not that different between players. but i do have to give credit to Chinese and Western players for having great mentality, above average i should say.

[hansonlouphers]

and JMO.. Maria's mentality is above average than Chinese and western players.. huehehe... no offence please... ;).. and good skill is an important thing too..

[Krisna]

Maria is now wiser, calmer, and more confident than many opponents think... Good for her. It is better to be underestimated...

[Felix.]

Leading 21-13 17-10 and to lose it in the end shows that Maria is still inexperienced. Hopefully with more exposure, she'd be able to close out her match.

[Yong_Hui]

I wish Maria can maintain her performance since uber cup, INA SS, OG
is she going for Euro SS??? or Macao GP will be her last tourney till China Open, and HK open....

[Krisna]

Maria's passport is still with the DEN embassy... She can't go to Macau Gold GP... DEN SS and FRA SS are more important...

[hansonlouphers]

uhmm.. why is macau open is not that important?? doesnt Denmark open is a GP class also???

[ctjcad]

..are Super Series tourneys, you can check the 2008 Tournamet section and see a "(SS)" next to the events. SS is 5-star tourney, 1 level above GP Gold (Macau).
Main squad will go to European SS instead; back-up squads will get their talents tested in Macau Open.;)

[hansonlouphers]

oye aaa get it noww... just check that Denmark is a SS. get wrong with Netherlands open.

[hiltonmoreira9]

one resource from PBSI said that Maria Kristin is good in singles tournament but in team events, she is bad.
no wonder Indonesia couldn't hold the uber cup for the fourth time last may..

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

one resource from PBSI said that Maria Kristin is good in singles tournament but in team events, she is bad.
no wonder Indonesia couldn't hold the uber cup for the fourth time last may..

so what??? whether she play in single or team events.. she still plays single matches.. i think maria is good in mental,, she never felt havin any burdens in playing whether in single or team events,, i think what the PBSI resources said is only personal opinion,, not what exactly maria's weakness..

[jutawin]

Maria's style is too slow compared to chinese players. She must do more smashes, instead of cross drop to get more points. I saw she playing in uber cup 2008 in istora senayan, Most of the audience shouted "smash, smash" but she didn't do it, she just did dropshot. So she lost to eriko hirose & xu huai wen.

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

i do think so,, maria should learn how to be offensive player in some moment,, Susi susanti won the gold in OG coz she changed her playing style from defensive to offensive,, Maria still has some problems in facing the players that have same playing style with her such as eriko n XHW,,
I can't wait maria for grab some title,, come on maria,,

[Krisna]

Let me get this straight... you are saying that Maria Kristin is the reason we couldn't grab the Uber Cup this year? :confused: :eek:

The fact that China had Xie Xinfang, Zhu Lin, Lu Lan all in the top 5 world ranking and then the #1 to #4 Women's Doubles had nothing to do with China winning the Uber Cup? :confused: While on the other hand, Maria Kristin, being ranked #21 in the world at that time was the highest ranked player INA could offer... plus Firda-Pia-Nana who were all ranked 35 or worse ...plus our best WD couldn't win against the Chinese either... It was due to Maria's fault? :confused:

I think almost all the fans know that Maria is quiet, composed, and does not appear dynamic on-and-off the court... :p Yes she is not a 'leader' type... But was she a destructive force in the team? Never! But for you to say that our Uber Cup team didn't win the cup because of Maria is not right! We just lost to a VERY good China team. That's all! ;) No shame in that!

CLEARLY EXPLAINED,,, :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[.ash.]

i think, i like maria whatever she plays with defense/offense play
maria is maria,we can ask her to changed her style
and maybe with her style ,she will become top players

[Rahayu]

I just looking for shoes in matahari cilandak town square jakarta,and guess what ?i saw maria kristin n nidya krishinda,i got her picture but my camera in my celullar is not good so i didnt upload the picture lei..hehehe

[yan_brot]

i love maria
i love the way she plays..
firda looks more smashing and offending but maria can beat her mostly
before Uber she was at 21st World Ranking, and if im not mistaken her rank was 15 before OG (Saina 14th), after winning bronze, her rank isnt up,now shes in 16 WR (Saina 11th) what the hell is goin on ????

Maria's ranking is exactly according to the current BWF rules. If you're not aware of the ranking system point calculations, please refer to www.internationalbadminton.org (http://www.internationalbadminton.org)...

Saina deserves to be #11 now... She even won a Gold GP event recently... fair enough... ;)

[etudiant]

Dont worry...Maria's rank will crack into top 10 sooner than later.....

Nothing is impossible Dato Asbullah......its proven by Maria in last OG.....no one expecting her to reach that far.....people rooting for Tine, LL, even Mew Choo......reality???.....although Chn is still powerhouse...ina still has good chances......well see......

but maybe in some years,ina will taking the crown
and who knows?

[hansonlouphers]

i mean.. when Maria meets Zhu Lin at France Open.. that WOULD BE an exciting match.

When IO, i was watching on TV only. My Heart was beating so fast too.. i could imagine.. how was u..

[Yong_Hui]

in Denmark open this week, maria will have though draw. She will face lu lan in 2nd round, and may b zhu lin in QF....
Wish she can do her best...

[blackbhara92]

hi i'm new here...

hope maria do her best in french and german open..

[.ash.]

hai,black

today maria won at round 1
she beat jill pittard from england! :)

[hansonlouphers]

[.ash.]

[simonlovers]

hai,black
welcome :D

today maria won at round 1

tomorrow she will meet Lu Lan/Yu Hirayama...
Hope she can beat her....

[.ash.]

hmm,,if she meet lu lan
i hope she will win that game
hehe..
just wanna see,maria win over lu lan again!
hahahah

[Yong_Hui]

hopefully the OG moment will come again......
50-50 the chance of Maria win today match......
if lost, I hope in good game.....

[aulia]

Great wall for Maria, hehe. But wish all the best for her!!!

Beat Lu Lan plz....hehe...:)

[.ash.]

hahha,,yeah
i wish that too
i guess the chance is 50 - 50
and it will be rubber game..
:D

[matthewteng]

Maria has great skills but is overshadowed by the bigger stars. She did well in the Olympics to get Bronze medal and I hope she repeats her good perfomance in Denmark.

[Krisna]

Lu Lan defeated Maria in rubber sets today... :p

[george@chongwei]

Lu Lan defeated Maria in rubber sets today... :p
its quite tight match though:(

[etudiant]

Maria lost again to LL....i guess maria wasn't too patient and concentrate esp in set 1 and 3.....well she should learn from that if she wants to beat yet chn plyr whose seem have similar type to LL....better next time in France against Zhu Lin....even Petya Nedelcheva could strech ZL into the limit here last night........best of luck......

[v-may]

At least she didnt give up easily to Lu Lan, that's ok, next time better for maria. Now the only hope for indonesia is only firdasari, but today she's going to meet tine rasmussen, quite difficult though....:(

[Yong_Hui]

after OG Maria lost twice in SS from Lu Lan consecutively....
Even though she lost in rubber, but when they meet again and Maria lost again, it will make her confidence drop.......
I wish Maria not facing Lu Lan again in the nearest tourney....

[CLELY]

Three INA WS players have bad drawing in French SS, they must face tough test so early. Reigning World Champion Zhu Lin is trying to fix her below par performance recently, Maria Kristin should overcome this stumbling block, then likely Yu Hirayama will become her opponent and on paper scenario she will take on Lu Lan at quarterfinal.

[blackbhara92]

go maria go...


i'm sure maria can beat lu lan if she more be patient

[hansonlouphers]

go maria go...


i'm sure maria can beat lu lan if she more be patient

maria was not in good focus.. :( nice try..

next.. should be more fighting!!

[sari_nov]

huurrayy..hurray..!!!

today maria kristin win over Zhu lin in straight set 21-15,21-14..

i hope it can boost her confident tomorow again Lu lan..

[Krisna]

Zhu Lin? Excelleeeennntttt!!!

And we got news that Maria will go to HK SS...

[aulia]

hei...hei...if Pia won today, she is the one who will meet Lu Lan first I think, hehe...

and who knows if Pia can make a miracle...:D

[v-may]

wow, maria beat zhu lin in french open. well done, maria!

[.ash.]

yey!go maria
it's good to hear that maria beat zhu lin
hehehe

good job ,MARIA!
:D

[etudiant]

[otaclub]

Maria win against NBJ..
next match is revengeful match with Lu Lan

i have a feeling that she's gonna win it..

[etudiant]

cmon Maria dont let Lu Lan beats u 3 times in a row.......gudluck....

[Yong_Hui]

gud luck to maria today....
3 times lost in row??? dun let it be..........

hmm.... my mistake? hehe... actually i say 10 pm for the 1st match... not Maria vs Lu Lan.... can't wait until that time... hehe...

hope i will read a good news tomorrow....:D:D:D

[Dy_e4ia_TUC]

it's so boring to see Maria beaten by Lu Lan,,, even losing in rubber set can't make me think that MK "might be" need a little time to improved...
She has to have any strategy 4 it,,, mental block is not works again...

[simonlovers]

yeah....

when Maria Kristin Yulianti will beat Lu Lan again??..:confused::confused::confused:

[badadum]

That's a bit harsh. Compared to the beginning of this year, who would have thought Maria would snatch the OG Bronze? Most people would write her off against any of the Chinese WS top 4, yet she has beaten 3 of them this year (XXF is the last remaining one). She beaten Zhu Lin in straight set to avenge her rubber set loss in INA open, and all her losses to Lu Lan have been through tightly contested rubber game.

I said it before, the skillset is there, she just need to execute it.

[george@chongwei]

men! she lost it again to Lu Lan..
so tight once more:(

[Krisna]

yeah....

when Maria Kristin Yulianti will beat Lu Lan again??..:confused::confused::confused:


men! she lost it again to Lu Lan..
so tight once more:(

Good thing Maria defeated Lu Lan in the biggest stage: the Olympics! :D No wonder Lu Lan cried so hard when she lost that match... :o

[.ash.]

hahhaa
yeah!
and olympics for most athletes is a heaven of any kinds of SPORTS!!
HAHAHA..

and,the place where it was held,is CHINA
where LU LAN nationality ! hehe

maria,I hope next time
you can make LU LAN CRY AGAIN! :D

[sari_nov]

ya..that' right

maria win at the important game..

i believe someday maria can win over lu lan again..( i hope soon..hehe)

AYO MARIA..BISA..

[v-may]

Well, let's hope that maria will beat all chinese players one day, such as xinfang, wang ling and wang yihan. Common, Maria!!!!

[Sandy]

Lu Lan allways tired after against Maria, not strange she lost in next round.
I believe both players didn't like were drawn in early round.

[Yong_Hui]

hopefully they will be drawn not in the same pool again...

[hiltonmoreira9]

maria have to focus more
hahaha

[Krisna]

Both Maria and Lu Lan are in the HK SS... They might meet each other, yet again... ;) But I hope Maria will meet Xie Xinfang or Wang Lin or Wang Yihan this time around... The lineup list

[simonlovers]

in same pool again?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
now it's 3-2 for Lu-lan...
i expected maria will make 3-3..:rolleyes:

[otaclub]

in same pool again?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
now it's 3-2 for Lu-lan...
i expected maria will make 3-3..:rolleyes:

no..the draw isn't up yet..well let wish a great draw and performance for her..

[Jagdpanther]

Haih...
3 times down in a row, all by the very same person: Lu Lan.
Hope this won't affect her morale too much. :(

[george@chongwei]

Good thing Maria defeated Lu Lan in the biggest stage: the Olympics! :D No wonder Lu Lan cried so hard when she lost that match... :o
i think her mentality tells her to win against maria, win agaisnt maria every time they meets each other!
thats why..she wanted to win every match against maria so hard..

[etudiant]

Maria is still rank 14 after French SS....guess she wont be able to make top 10 by the end of this yr....even if she performs well in Hkg.....her coach said that she still has weakness in mental strength that need to be fixed in the next tourneys.....he also commented in her last 3 matches vs LL that 'better be almost lost but won rather than almost won but lost....

YES she can, if she win HK Open ^^..but its not like we force her to do so..just enjoy the fight...there isstill next year...i'm hoping she get good draw on HK..

[blackbhara92]

any new info about maria

[Krisna]

any new info about maria

I heard Maria's knee injury is not fully healed yet. So, she will probably miss Malaysia SS and Korea SS rather than risk permanently damaging her knee... :(

Right now, she is practicing in her club's facilities in Kudus... I think it is a safe bet to say that Maria Kristin will be recalled back to Pelatnas in January. ;) Until then, no Pelatnas activities until next year...

[otaclub]

i hope that she'll be ready for next year tourney..she had miss many tournament..but abova all lets pray the her injury will be fine.

[CLELY]

Maria Kristin had booked outstanding achievement this year during her badminton career so far, Beijing Bronze last August. Hope she can enter top-10 world rank next year, Good Luck!

[jutawin]

We wait for your performance Maria.
Happy new year 2009..

[abedeng]

Such heartbreak .... for some players, great achievement can only be realized by working themselves up to breaking point.

[blackbhara92]

i'm sure if maria wins a lot this year , she'll be in the top 10 , but if she don't play in several tournaments she won't be in the top 15 anymore. because, i think in WS rank is more competitive than others

til now, when i watched her video in OG again, still can't find the reason how can she change so much since Indonesia Open... she's so calm, if she can reduce her habit: making unforced errors... sure she will be VERY dangerous....

she's already dangerous indeed.....she'll be one to beat plyr in the future....

[Felix.]

It's kinda sad to see her getting injured while she's having all the momentum.
Now, it's going to take quite a bit time for her to get back where she was, though I hope I'm proven wrong.

Get well soon.

[blackbhara92]

what happened to you maria???????????????????????

[aulia]

ya... of course she is...:D:D i just wanna say that after watched her video, we can know that her habit to making unforced errors is her weakness... out of that, sure she is very very dangerous... :):)

[jutawin]

I think Maria should do more smashes , instead of her deadly drop..
Cepat sembuh, Maria..
We Love You..
