Japan Open-Day 5(20/9/2008) semi final.

[hansonlouphers]

But Rian/Yoke lost :mad: I actually wanted them to win their first SS title.

next time.. next time.. :D:D:D

[madbad]

OK, last 2 matches. Dog tired so I'll cheer for JR/LP and CEH/WPT in my dreams. Will reconvene for the final, hopefully with a fresher state of mind.

[K14N2]

The quality of opponents Bona/Ahsan have beaten this week are definitely very high:
R32 bt Kwon Yi Goo/Ko Sung Hyun -- KOR's promising MD
R16 bt Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif -- MAS in-form pair
QF bt Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda
SF bt Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- who beat the World and Olympics champion yesterday.

Hope they will be able to put Lars Paaske and Jonas Rasmussen on that list! (I think the Dans will go through to the final, but hope not) :)

[huangkwokhau]

But Rian/Yoke lost :mad: I actually wanted them to win their first SS title.
Put it this way, at least now we have Bona/Ahsan, Rian Yoke beside Kido/Hendra...may be later on Alvent/Rendra and Wiqgi/Alfiat....;)

If I haven't cancelled 2 of my PAWS last minute, I would have won 20 extra pts.

But maybe there will be more rich pickings tomorrow, esp on WS and WD final.

[eaglehelang]

Sigh!! My PAW is at stake now....Luyi80 lost 2 PAW....now it depends who gets more points tomorrow...high stake!! another drama at PAW knock out too

YEP..If INA won..then I am more relaxed....hehe...it seems you and me have a chance to win the title as well as knock out each other...you have 1 extra picks and I have 4 points extra with 3 picks....

[ctjcad]

what racquet is Ohtsuka using? it was all black with white sides...maybe the new Arcsaber on trial? or is my eyes too tired and hallucinating.....
..i thought he was using one of those oval rackets....Keita Masuda (a bit balding on top) was the one using the white/red frame isometric racket; maybe that's who you're referring to??...:confused:

[eaglehelang]

..livestream just ended...it was showing through Shanghai Sports....and all matches are done for the day...stay tuned tomorrow, same channel ;)

yup, i knew I was late, but in time to watch nice ending of Msia WD finally getting a SS finals.:) They're getting frustrated of not getting far in tourneys aft all these years, hope it encourages them.

[tehsham]

YEP..If INA won..then I am more relaxed....hehe...it seems you and me have a chance to win the title as well as knock out each other...you have 1 extra picks and I have 4 points extra with 3 picks....

[CLELY]

Too late...the MAS pair Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui take it 21-11, 18-21, 21-18.

Team INA will have at least 1 title tomorrow and have a chance to win 2 more titles in MS and MD.

I'm afraid that INA will bag only XD title, Sony and Bona/Ahsan will face top opponents tomorrow. Hope they may create upset in finale...

[ctjcad]

:p..our samuel882 had mentioned the other day that if INA fails to win more than 2 titles (with the amt of INA players/pairs advancing to the QF), it would be considered a failure??...:confused: ;)

And guess what guys, this will be the 1st time in quite some time for CHN to win only 2 titles, possibly only 1 (WD). They could even lose both or either the WS & WD matches and go home empty-handed:eek:...hmmm..When was the last time CHN won 1 title in a Super Series tourney?? Or for that matter, in any tourney??..:confused:

[jasonmarc]

howdy there Jason, any of the livestream working. And... our gals made it!! Good job gals :D

Hai..Helang..:p...I m good here....!...Glad Mas pair finally have done it......to enter the SS Final......Congratulation.....well done......:D:D:D

Same goes to TH and Candra/Tony... :(

[el-khanz]

Some say that it is a disaster/failure if INA team get only 1 title here in JO. They may right, but success is not only about winning the tournament. INA's (also MAS, DEN, CHN, JPN, GBR) young players did a great job this time, even if they lose, at least they've showed us that they 'can do it'. You go guys!!

ya...hope hk and mas give them back with empty hand this time...but...i think china may get 1 title from wd...:(

Predicting that the FINALS to be played on Sunday 21-Sep-2008 will be as follows:
MS Chong Wei LEE [MAS] [1] - [INA] Sony DWI KUNCORO [2]
WS Tine RASMUSSEN [DEN] [2] - [HKG] Mi ZHOU [7]
MD Yonatan Suryatama DASUKI & Rian SUKMAWAN [INA] [5] - [DEN] Lars PAASKE & Jonas RASMUSSEN [2]
WD Miyuki MAEDA & Satoko SUETSUNA [JPN] [1] - [INA] Vita MARISSA & Liliyana NATSIR [2]
XD Nova WIDIANTO & Liliyana NATSIR [INA] [1] - [INA] Muhammad RIJAL & Vita MARISSA [5]

In other words, at the Semi-Finals, 5 from [INA], 2 from [DEN], 1 from [JPN], [HKG] and [MAS] to make it to the FINALS.



.
:D:D:D Only predicted with 60% accuracy...

So, making it to the FINALS, we now have:
4 from [INA]
2 from [CHN]
2 from [MAS]
1 from [DEN]
1 from [HKG]

See how my predictions for the winners would turn out to be:
MS Chong Wei LEE [MAS] [1]
WS Mi ZHOU [HKG] [7]
MD Lars PAASKE & Jonas RASMUSSEN [DEN] [2]
WD Eei Hui CHIN & Pei Tty WONG [MAS] [4]
XD Nova WIDIANTO & Liliyana NATSIR [INA] [1]

Therefore, the champions could be:
2 from [MAS]
1 from [DEN]
1 from [HKG]
1 from [INA]


GOOD LUCK to all our Finalists !!!
