WS:
Wang Yihan vs Tine Rasmussen - Tine too smart for pretty Chinese girl
Lu Lan vs Zhou Mi - Veteran ZM to set up repeat of Singapore Open final

MS:
Kenichi Tago vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro - Home support might not be enough for Japanese youngster
Lee Chong Wei vs Joachim Persson - LCW still too good despite not being in the best form

WD:
Maeda/Suetsuna vs Cheng/Zhao - CHN youngsters will exploit Japanese pair's fatigue
Wong/Chin vs Vita/Lilyana - INA to take this home, MAS pair need to cut down mistakes to have a fighting chance

MD
Matsuda/Ohtsuka vs Rasmussen/Paaske - BC's resident forummers have too much quality
Rian/Yonatan vs Bona/Ahsan - Dunno, really. I will give it to the former for beating reigning Olympic and World Champs.

XD:
Nova/Lilyana vs Yoo/Kim - World Champs might struggle a bit
Songphon/Kunchala vs Rijal/Vita - Thais will make this an international final

================================================== ======
Overall view: A lot of new players/pairs will be competing in this yr's edition.

MS - LCW is set to advance and perhaps defend his MS title.
WS - The CHN's WS squad's threat, in Tine, is back. Can she go all the way and defend her title?
MD - Too bad Tony & Candra won't be able to continue and defend their Japan Open title. Perhaps it'll be our JR & LP??:cool:
WD - Is there a new CHN WD on the rise??
XD - Possible all-INA affair in the Finals. This time with only Vita being able to defend the XD title (she won the title with Flandy last yr).

Hey ctjcad,you really know a lot about the tournament.Are you a badminton fan ?^_^

Ya...totally Agree With Chris...

Huh?:confused: Istill don't know what are you talking about ?:(

Huh?Who is chris?Am i missing something here?T_T Anyway , who is on the main subject now ?

Too bad Mew Choo had lost T_T,and Roslin LOST today.Looks like the hopes will be on LCW and WPT/CEH .Good luck and all the best to you guys .

if Vita can win this JO 08. it will be her 3'rd anniversary at JO with different partners every year.. hehehe... am i correct???

u can watch lee chong wei vs sho sasaki`s and other matches highlight here.


oh my, in the tago vs chen yu match, i don't think they even showed chen yu winning a single point!
:rolleyes:

What's the different of the timing in M'sia and Japan ? :confused::confused:

What's the different of the timing in M'sia and Japan ? :confused::confused:

if in Japan 12pm. than in Malay should be 11 am. am i correct?? :D:D

if Vita can win this JO 08. it will be her 3'rd anniversary at JO with different partners every year.. hehehe... am i correct???
..well, not every year, but yes, she has won the Japan Open XD title twice before; she won in 2004 (with Nova, just before her long bout with an injury) & 2006 (with Flandy)..;)..If she does win this yr, again, i think a nickname for her should be in order, "The Biennial Japan Open XD Specialist"..;)
Btw, typo on my part, it should've been "she won the title with Flandy in 2006"

if in Japan 12pm. than in Malay should be 11 am. am i correct?? :D:D

ya,u r rite...so clever:D

if Vita can win this JO 08. it will be her 3'rd anniversary at JO with different partners every year.. hehehe... am i correct???


nope, vita won it with flandy in 2006.
zheng bo and gao ling won it in 2007.

owhh Im going to the stadium tomorrow! cant wait to see LCW playing again! cannot shout too loud coz it is fasting month... Good Luck to all players! may the better man win!

Malaysia Boleh!!!

.
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.

So far, it appears that Tine RASMUSSEN [DEN] and Mi ZHOU [HKG] are the only ones playing well. The others are not playing as well as they should.
.

Oh, haha. I have to delete my "EVERY YEAR". lol. Lemme correct it, if Vita won the title again this year. It would be her 3'rd times in winning of Japan Open?? Haha.. If still uncorrect. I'm hiding..hahaha..
Umm.. But i favor natsir/nova to win the title.. Haha .. :D

Deep in my heart I hope all INA's players will win their match and through to the final to clinch the title. But it's not gonna be easy for them so I'll just wish them all the best and let the better win.

Hmm,, what court will be broadcasted by astro, court 2 or 3??

so now, you are talking about vita marissa? she's a good player in INA.. ^^
and the new news, that vita will leave INA after play at OB. but, in the real, she still play at japan ss now, with liliyana. hope that she not really do that..

Is there any livetelecast for semi-finals ? Coz I don't think RTM1 is showing ( correct me if I'm wrong).

lcw will win today! hahaha :D

nope.. rtm not showing.. haihz

Hopes to see TaGo advance to the final.
I dont remember there is any Japanese MS player featuring in any SS final yet . No?
Being the great host, they deserve to have at least one representative in final

Just watched the highlights between LCW vs Sasaki-San. LCW backhand return from the baseline was getting worst then that embarasing game against LD in OG final. The Japanese manage to score few points from LCW weak return.

yes....i want tago to enter final...and maybe be the winner....btw....kenichi tago is like chen yu lar...keke

the first match will be held at 12.00 . is it right?

why there's no "live score" yet?

the first match will be held at 12.00 . is it right?

10:00 am WIB, 11:00 am Malaysia/Singapore time, 12:00 pm Japan time.

10:00 am WIB, 11:00 am Malaysia/Singapore time, 12:00 pm Japan time.

so now, you are talking about vita marissa? she's a good player in INA.. ^^
and the new news, that vita will leave INA after play at OB. but, in the real, she still play at japan ss now, with liliyana. hope that she not really do that..

Neck and neck battles is not INA's forte, better to open a gap.

WYH cruising 11-3 in second set, why N/L seems to have difficulty against Korean pairs lately?

The current WJC champion gona take this game

TR fighting back, 9-12.

WYH leads 12-7....the subdued crowd is deafening...couple of claps, trying to cheer Tine on...12-9 now..

Perfect TR placement gains her parity, 13-13.

Cmon Yihan...dont lose consentration

nova/liliyana is not showing their best today T.T

is it Wang Lin the curent WJC champ???

It's correct, Wang Yihan is 2006 World Junior Champion.

WYH still leads 13-11...Tine hanging on, trying to up the pace...couple of smashes close to WYH's body..13-12 now..

This is ur chance to make it to the final Yihan..prove me u can be China'a hope

N/L...............13/17....upset is in the making.......

T T.. i woke up early today to watch N/L.. if they lose... i cant forgive myself.. lol T T

Yes...its over...Yihan just made an upset......horayyyyy......

hope N/L perform better in 3rd set............

WYH won 21-18, nice rally in penultimate point

WYH wins....Tine failed to advance and defend her title....From what i've seen, WYH looks solid to win the WS title..

WYH gives me 16 PAW pts, 21-15, 21-18.
I thot u pawed on TR as u said TR is too smart for Yihan:)

N/l....0-4............

N/l..................3/5..............

the reigning World champs still being trouble by a juniors :(

I thot u pawed on TR as u said TR is too smart for Yihan:)

My young padawan, PAW and predictions are two very different things. :D In PAW, you need to gamble on those big points.

the reigning World champs still being trouble by a juniors :(


yeaaa... come on wake up.. they seem cant handle the korean pairs... :crying::crying:

My young padawan, PAW and predictions are two very different things. :D In PAW, you need to gamble on those big points.
At least Yihan gives us both 16 points to gain our rank:p

Maybe Nova/Lilyana too have not rediscovered their form, 4 pts down.

WYH leads 18-16....she seems to have the complete package, smashes, drop-shots, soft-shots, trick-shots, good court coverage, very good backhand..leads 19-17 now..

Crowd starting to cheer for the INA pair...
the problem is I think she's still inconsistent,If she plays consistent she will be player to beat

N/L................still fight hard....6-9

At least Yihan gives us both 16 points to gain our rank:p

Yup that's right ...... kakakakaka

The crowd should be more active now, since Tago will be coming to court.

the problem is I think she's still inconsistent,If she plays consistent she will be player to beat
..i meant skills-wise, WYH seems solid....Consistency can be gained through experience...:)

Nova makes service error, KOR 12-9

INA in defence but manage to win the rally, 10-12.

N/L........11/12......fight...fight......

KOR clear is out, 12-12.

nova/lily seems haven't shown their best since the olympic games last month
what happen to them actually?

INA back in the lead, 14-13 smash winner.

We are back on neck and neck, 14-14.

Nova makes service error, KOR 12-9
Thats Nova's biggest problem........INA coach is trying to work on his serve in many years now...
Since Rendra is in Pelatnas, I hope rendra can partner with Lilyana....will be fun to watch...at least Rendra's smash is much harder...

16-15....................omg...............focus..... use ur experience N/L...........

17-17 and the going gets critical .....

come on INA..
be the winner!

Tago abit looks like the MAS monkey :p

2 more points.. go for it!!

Tago takes the 1st couple of pts.

Nova/Lilyana heave sigh of relief, 21-18.

nova/lily rocks.. haha

Thanks God!! Nova/Butet won..watch for Korean XD in future

Yes Nova/Lilyana won in a very hard way...21-18 in 3rd..........

Yes, NoLyn won!!!

:D:D:D

fiiiuuuhhh.....................i'm releasING my heart beat now..

Tago abit looks like the MAS monkey :p
His style is like Taufik..He told me that he follows TH's attitude, hope not a bad boy, he will copies it....very friendly guy.....we need Star in each country to make Badminton more interesting...

Morten frost ever commented this japanese youngster's movement and skill wise comparable with the great Taufik Hidayat

Brilliant rally set up for a Tago kill.

Thanks God!! Nova/Butet won..watch for Korean XD in future

yeaa.. it seems they always in trouble to korean pairs.. what's ur idea bro??:confused::confused:

Nova/Lilyana heave sigh of relief, 21-18.
:D:D then you lost your big PAW....bad you changed your thought...kakaka

Tago played a couple of nice net shots

Tago floored, slipped off the floor.

Sony seems captalised on Tago weak forehand return

:D:D then you lost your big PAW....bad you changed your thought...kakaka

No problem, I'm almost always in a win-win situation anyway .....

World Champion Nova/Lilyana cruise into finale after overcame Korean youngster Yoo Yeon Seong/Kim Min Jung, 19-21 ; 21-17 ; 21-18. What a hard battle!

Sdk...10/7............

Tago must stay calm in his first ever SS semi final appearance

yeaa.. it seems they always in trouble to korean pairs.. what's ur idea bro??:confused::confused:
No idea...Kor and CHN playerr are so descipline and they have the attitude of " never give up"....thats different between INA players vs KOR/CHN players...
Like in Taipeh Open, you can see that Japanese/Kor players had their own practices without being told.....on the other hand, INA players needed to be told if needed practice or not....thats a reality....our players are spoilt..

Tago still needs patience, very important when playing the styles of Sony

Tago must stay calm in his first ever SS semi final appearance
This is his 2nd second I believe ( first one was INA Open , losing to Simon in 3 sets)

..livestream on Shanghai Sports died...:(...i guess will wait til next CHN player/pair to compete...

His style is like Taufik..He told me that he follows TH's attitude, hope not a bad boy, he will copies it....very friendly guy.....we need Star in each country to make Badminton more interesting...
Too bad he did copy TH's poor forehand defense :o

Like in Taipeh Open, you can see that Japanese/Kor players had their own practices without being told.....on the other hand, INA players needed to be told if needed practice or not....thats a reality....our players are spoilt..

Well at least your players still win world and olympic titles .... that's the key thing. :D

Sdk 14/10...................

on the other hand, INA players needed to be told if needed practice or not....thats a reality....our players are spoilt..

is that so???? hmmm...how if INA players practice without being told.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

This is his 2nd second I believe ( first one was INA Open , losing to Simon in 3 sets)

Yup, and we saw it live in stadium, in the 3rd game he made the mistake of allowing Simon to lead too far .....

..livestream on Shanghai Sports died...:(...i guess will wait til next CHN player/pair to compete...
they aren't dead yet, they are having a brief news at 12:00 pm...stay tuned...:)

SDK cruising 17/11..........now Rijal/Vita in court..come on All Ina final............

is that so???? hmmm...how if INA players practice without being told.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
..if LYB is the head coach??....:rolleyes: ;)

No, it comes down to the attitude of the players....

Well at least your players still win world and olympic titles .... that's the key thing. :D
Thats true...but you can imagine if INA players are more discipline....

is that so???? hmmm...how if INA players practice without being told.. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Then you would have taken over from CHN as no 1 in badminton ....

Tago is trying to do the chasing game again, but fails.

Come on Sony...close it out....20-15

VM is playing with her new pair for the first time..

Thats true...but you can imagine if INA players are more discipline....

thats wat i meant... :D:D:D

SDK 21-15..........RiVi 2-1..................

they aren't dead yet, they are having a brief news at 12:00 pm...stay tuned...:)
..yep, that's what i meant....hopefully all CHN players advance to Finals so we can have continuous live webstream..;)

Why does Tago like to do a lot of rallying? In the men's game, rallying is obsolete already.

i've seen on posted pics of how CHN teach their athletes to become great athletes..
they teach their athletes from 3-4 years old..
but INA athletes has just practice intensively when they are 12-13 y.o.
what a difference..

Sony misses on a counter smash, 6-5 Tago.

SDK 6-6....RiVi 12-11....

Why does Tago like to do a lot of rallying? In the men's game, rallying is obsolete already.
..he wants to gamble by wearing out Sony??..

okay, livestream is back showing Tago vs. Sony....goody!!:p

Thai pair mounting a decent challenge, 12-12.

Why does Tago like to do a lot of rallying? In the men's game, rallying is obsolete already.
If Tago plays more rallies will be advantage for Sony....Sony is good at smashing during rally..

Sony teaches Tago how to finish rallies.

If Tago plays more rallies will be advantage for Sony....Sony is good at smashing during rally..
This is exactly what Sony do right now

Why does Tago like to do a lot of rallying? In the men's game, rallying is obsolete already.
Becoz he lack of killer instinct :cool:

THA and INA neck and neck, maybe a carbon copy of the 1st XD semis.

Come on Thailand .

THA on a single gamept, 20-19

Sony with a slight lead...9-8...2nd set
Tago might want to mimic Taufik, but so far i haven't seen anything, skills-wise, that resembles that of Taufik..:confused:..Maybe Chun Seang is a closer resemblance to Tago...

Crowd making some noise now...

Is a good experience for Tago to play against player of Sony statue, it can only help for his young developing career. Who and where are those players same batch as Tago during World Junior Championship? Is Arif of Malaysia one of them? I recall China had Chen Lung at that time?

give tago more time... he did well enuff to reach the semifinals... as a junior player... malaysia does not even have capable players like tago... sigh

Oh boy....Vita/Rojal is even at 20 all...they had a chance to close it

INA respond and gain gamept, 21-20.

Is a good experience for Tago to play against player of Sony statue, it can only help for his young developing career. Who and where are those players same batch as Tago during World Junior Championship? Is Arif of Malaysia one of them? I recall China had Chen Lung at that time?

arif is still eating nasi lemak at home... and yeah, what happened to chen lung?:D

Sony with a slight lead...9-8...2nd set
Tago might want to mimic Taufik, but so far i haven't seen anything, skills-wise, that resembles that of Taufik..:confused:..Maybe Chun Seang is a closer resemblance to Tago...

Crowd making some noise now...
I agree with that :D:D

Good that Vita/Rijal wrapped it up...giving them more confident for 2nd set

go thailand... go indonesia... hehe

anyone knows how old is WYH????

Umpire overrule, correct call, Tago 12-13.

Sony smash to sideline, 14-12.

Tan Chun Seang doesnt have results like Tago even...:mad:

Sony smashed and hit dead on the line.....14-12...........

Sony with a slight lead...9-8...2nd set
Tago might want to mimic Taufik, but so far i haven't seen anything, skills-wise, that resembles that of Taufik..:confused:..Maybe Chun Seang is a closer resemblance to Tago...

Crowd making some noise now...

Lets hope Tago doesn't become the Taufik of late :D

arif is still eating nasi lemak at home... and yeah, what happened to chen lung?:D
China is still grilling Chen Long..once China feels he is ready...watch out...!!
Chen Long, Tan Chun Seang, Tago, Tanongsak, Du Peng Yu, Hans or Jorgensen will be the next batch....I have not seen one from INA or KOR yet...

Good rally and ending with a deadly crosscourt net shot by Tago.....13-15............

Come on Vota/Rijal..leading 5-1 then 5-5.....not consistent yet

Lets hope Tago doesn't become the Taufik of late :D

I think JPN badminton know they have a budding star in Tago. No way they will allow him to fall into Taufik trap. They need to bring him along with little pressure and let him develop to his full potential. As for Taufik... [SIGH]...

Weak reply and Sony fully taking advantage with a quick drive .......17-14...........

Come on Vota/Rijal..leading 5-1 then 5-5.....not consistent yet

New pairs are never consistent. Generally takes a few tournaments before they gel.... if they ever do. This will be a close one till the end

Tan Chun Seang is not being grilled at home... I think BAM is keeping him at home for decoration only... Most countries sent their young players to post Olympic tournaments coz most top players shy away immediate post Olympic. Exc for Malaysia of coz. Which is why Malaysia is lagging behind other countries in term of badminton development. Forget abt LCW. He is established already. Dont keep on harping abt LCW only... we need the next generation players... Wake up BAM!!

Tago's campaign about to end.

Match point to Sony....20-14............

Rijal is not smart as Flandy...different class but it helps Vita with Rijal's stronger smashes..

2 match points saved by Tago.......16-20..............

Sony is champion......21-15, 21-16 in 37 mins..................

oh LCW is up next... nice...

As expected, Sony marches into the final and a possible clash with LCW.

So... uncle Lee playing. Any live TV? ;)

c'mon Songphon and kunchala...what a tight score..

New pairs are never consistent. Generally takes a few tournaments before they gel.... if they ever do. This will be a close one till the end
well..actually both of them has tasted tournaments more than enough.....we know that Vita is the commander ( laopanniang...hehe)here...

the fact is TCS suffered a drop of form lately. He even cant win against the unherald K.Yogendran in recent Penang Open. His place in National Squad will be in trouble :cool:

up from 11-9 now 12 all..come on Vita/Rijal

Tago's campaign about to end.

But I'm sure we will see more of this promising youngster in the near future...........Now for the next match Lee CW.........:):):)

I agree with that :D:D
...i was referring/comparing Chun Seang and Tago's style of play lah...not looks-wise...of course, Chun Seang is more ganteng (handsome) lah (you know i'm writing that cos i don't want to upset our other young M'sian female BCers here)..;)
anyone knows how old is WYH????

Much, much, much better than China v China..................:):):)

Tago reminds me of Nishikori in tennis. Both are future stars in JPN with 19 years of age.

The only difference is that the latter is more confident and solid in his groundstrokes and serves.

Agreed, Kei Nishikori is quite solid as a player. I hope he does better than Shuzo Matsuoka (no puns intended) or achieve better results than Kimiko Date or Ai Sugiyama or Naoko Sawamatsu:)

oh my god... why did the live score blacked out... no more live matches?

yeah but all these players are tennis players :)
