..for LCW : World No 1 to take it and defend his Japan Open title, with more difficulty than the Olympic q-final match...;)

MEN'S SINGLES
Lee Chong Wei [1] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [2] -- the expected lineup for the Final match...with the World No 1 retaining his Japan Open title.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan vs Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen [2] -- the Danish pair has the experience and edge to win their FIRST Super Series title, but, I am hoping for an upset here. Another heart-break perhaps at the last hurdle for our Danish BC-resident?

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhou Mi [7] vs Wang Yihan -- Zhou to take the title!

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei vs Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui [4] -- I am predicting an upset here, with the young CHN pair prevailing.

MIXED DOUBLES
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Mohd Rijal/Vita Marissa [5] -- the World Champion to walk away with the long-awaited Japan Open title.

Good to have fans cheering for them...thanks...^^...

Bona/Ahsan's progress is nothing short of tremendous. I saw them play earlier in the year and was not too impressed. But now they are looking like they have paired together for years.

so...abedeng...u are in japan???

Erm..Hopefully Mas players can win tomorrow..I will cheer for Chin/Wong n LCW..Its glad that Chin/Wong finally entering a final after so many tournament and hope they can win the title to boost their confidence.

It was unfortunate that when CEH/WPT were moving up in their World Rankings in the past year, injuries started to creep in. This time we hope that they will move into the Top 10 again; and stay there for a longer period of time, without injuries.

abedeng ... It's exactly what I will predict. But I will go one further ...
CEH/WPT to win the Womens Doubles !!!

Nope, fasting month, not the right time to do baddy travelling.

agree with u chris. really hope that wpt/ceh play well 2moro and win their 1st super series title. i tink that they have improves. want 2 c them create history for mas wd and improve their ranking. praying that God would protect them and prevent them fr injuries. in fact. same prayer to all players 2moro. wpt/ceh boleh. lcw boleh. mas boleh

I hope the Malaysian girl can bag this title. The Chinese girls played fairly well thru-out the tournament. Chin/Wong confidence has been running high and they are excited to be in the finals as i've spoken to them earlier. They will be playing their best. Both of them know that time is running out on their side.. this win will be their highlight and something that they can remember for time being.
As for Chong Wei, he is feeling confident in winning the title but not giving everything to chance as Sony is unpredictable and at the same time in form. Chong Wei admits that he is not playing his best level as of yet at the moment. He will be careful when playing Sony this time.

Bona/Ahsan's progress is nothing short of tremendous. I saw them play earlier in the year and was not too impressed. But now they are looking like they have paired together for years.

watched them play at SO this year... they are a fast improving pair

..at least i am, loud and clear, esp. with the "Boleh! Boleh! Boleh!" chants..;)
Today/tonight, we expect to hear them LOUDER, okay!!:):cool:

uhmm.. widianto/natsir... take the title.. :D:D:D

This time....is time for SDK to reveng DLCW........not like Olympic LCW reveng SDK......its interesting.........and SDK looks so determine and well prepared this time......

As for WD, WPT/CEH will play a relatively unknown young pair from CHN....already upset...so many pairs to enter final.......a very tricky one....for MAS...

My predictions:

I just cannot see this happening.

It's good to see a few people are giving Sony a chance against LCW.

Sony plays beautifully when he wants to. And maybe, just maybe he wants to this time. (then I'll win the bet with my 5 year old LCW fan).

Ya. Hopfully INA can take MS and MD also....haaa

Star paper quoted it.

this is just a training match for a SS final. Sad...

Chong Wei to skip China Masters KUALA LUMPUR: National coach Misbun Sidek has given shuttler Lee Chong Wei the green light to skip next week’s China Masters in Guangzhou. World No. 1 Chong Wei confirmed this after reaching the final of the Japan Open in Tokyo yesterday following a 21-6, 21-4 demolition of Dane Joachim Persson in the semi-final. Chong Wei said he was skipping the eighth-leg of the Super Series in China because of a slight pain on his right hand. The Malaysian had been seeded top ahead of Lin Dan of China for the tournament. “It is nothing serious. It is probably due to heavy smashing. I need a rest. The coach also does not want me to aggravate any injuries,” said Chong Wei in a telephone interview yesterday. “I will return home after the Japan Open. I have also been entered for the Macau Open (after the China Masters) but I am not sure if I will play. I will let my coach decide.”

this is just a training match for a SS final. Sad...
I do not think so...it is about prizemoney here....INA is not like China...:cool:

the script says : u win one. I took another, Lets plays deuce to delight the crowds in the decider

come on ViJal...pls take 2nd set....

the script says : u win one. I took another, Lets plays deuce to delight the crowds in the decider
In MD: It took 2 sets for Ahsan/Bona.....
In XD: Nova/Butet beat Flandy/Greys in 2 sets...

a difffrent version in sinchew,chong wei said he tired...

who said? LCw will play la, kak ayu said ka?
..yes, it's already reported in the 2008 China Masters sub-forum...Lee Chong Wei said so, first, and then the newspaper reported it..Wait til kak eaglehelang confirms the news..

Ah, got the livestream back (on GD Sports)....Vita and Rijal lead in the 2nd game 11-7..

It is sad that China Masters wont have LD, Gade and LCW...so I think Chen Jin has a chance to win China Master this time..I do not see BCL could win

a difffrent version in Chinapress,chong wei said he tired...

What did he said in the Chinapress? Maybe you can explain it? TQ.

In MD: It took 2 sets for Ahsan/Bona.....
In XD: Nova/Butet beat Flandy/Greys in 2 sets...

well////how about MAS vs MAS...??boring?:rolleyes:
MAS vs MAS or CHN vs CHN of course boring ;)
Vizal working well towards the scripts now it seems ;)

I think that the match will go to 3rd game.

..the crowd is so subdued....Vita & Rijal lead 16-10...so much different watching Rijal's vs. Flandy's game...Flandy is so much fluid in his movement and shuttle placements...

MAS vs MAS or CHN vs CHN of course boring ;)
Vizal working well towards the scripts now it seems ;)
I Hope ViJal could take it and give me a BIG mercy...for PAW...:D

yup...good kak ayu........LCW still single

Not only LCW but all Malaysian players are my brother and sister to me. I shower them with my true love, care and concern.

so much quality in King Nova's game

..the crowd is so subdued....Vita & Rijal lead 16-10...so much different watching Rijal's vs. Flandy's game
How's Rijal's play?I thin he has harder smashes than Flandy but Flandy has more tricks that neededin XD....

What did he said in the Chinapress? Maybe you can explain it? TQ.

sry,is sinchew...he jz said he tired ,so affect the performance in JO,if can't recover,he might skip next week China Master

..i hope this one goes to 3rd game..Vita & Rijal nearing the end, lead 19-14..

so much quality in King Nova's game
are you cynical, arent you?:D:D...How's Nova's serve...may errors?

The match goes to rubber game.

Less unforce errors by Rizal in the second set. In the meantime. Nova defensive shots is quite excellent..

whosss reiko??????:(:(:(
Reiko is my new girlfriend.........:p

I don't know what are you people watching but I thought this match is very high quality. Lots of long rallies.

rijal/vita took 2nd set,n rubber set nw

Vita leads 1-0 now.

Okay...at least..I still have hope....come on ViJal

I don't know what are you people watching but I thought this match is very high quality. Lots of long rallies.
Good to hear that....Samuel said that it looks like practising...
Tell me about the matches....I am rooting for ViJal ......

How's Rijal's play?I thin he has harder smashes than Flandy but Flandy has more tricks that neededin XD....
...his smashes are okay, not really powerful, both Nova and Lilyana could return them...but Flandy has better placements, IMO..okay, 2nd game done, headed to 3rd game...

Vita leads 3-2 now.

are you cynical, arent you?:D:D...How's Nova's serve...may errors?
He try a couple of flick serve during first set but not working. Second set he serve as normal. Did not loss any point by his serve

Vita leads 5-3 now.

5-3 so far for ViJal

Rijal/Vita lead 6-4

I don't know what are you people watching but I thought this match is very high quality. Lots of long rallies.
Have u watched the first game? Boring indeed :rolleyes:

He try a couple of flick serve during first set but not working. Second set he serve as normal. Did not loss any point by his serve
Okay...Nova's serve is his main problem....Thanks...

Two great net shots, one from Nova and one from Natsir to level the score 3-3.

Vita and Nova have dips in overall performance, Rijal and Lilyana are quite consistent ....

Vita leads 7-5 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 7-6

Nova's smashing angles are very good.

Rijal/Vita seems to be in the mould of ZhengBo/GaoLing in early 2007. Rijal just need to hammer down anything higher than the net. Young and powerful with an experience playmaker in front. Keep hammering on!

..it'll be down to the gals, battle of the net..whoever can control the net will probably win this match..Rijal has the same attribute as Nova, though, that is both like to scream and have the same type of yell..
Vita and Rijal lead 7-5...

C'mon Vita!! C'mon Rijal!!

If Nova retires, I hope rendra can replace him and partnering with Butet.....

Vita leads 8-7 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 8-7

Rijal/Vita leading 9-8

It is down to both gals now. Lets see who will be making less mistakes

Rijal/Vita leading 10-8

Huge miss from Rijal, wayyy out!

Rijal/Vita seems to be in the mould of ZhengBo/GaoLing in early 2007. Rijal just need to hammer down anything higher than the net. Young and powerful with an experience playmaker in front. Keep hammering on!
Thats what I thought too.....both girls are the bosses ( GaoLing and Vita)

come on rijal/vita

Vita lead 11-9 in interval.

Terrific rally, Rijal almost lost it before recovering. 11-9 Vita/Rijal.

Rijal/Vita leading 11-9

...it's a close game V & R lead 9-8..10-9

they can do it...come on...

the game is still tight.....come on ViJal

Vita lead 12-9 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 12-10

Nova looks tired .....

Great Lilyana defence wins her the rally.

Terrific rally, Rijal almost lost it before recovering. 11-9 Vita/Rijal.
Rijal needsmore hard matches....with Vita's guidance...he will bemore consistent...knows which shots to use/hammers.....sometimes..you needto know how to do placing instead of just smashing...smashing....similar to He Han Bin...Zheng Bo, at least.improves his placement with GaoLing...

Vita lead 12-11 now.

still 12-11 for ViJal..come on..come on....

Excellent net kill by Vita!!! Flying like a fox.

Rijal/Vita leading 13-11

Vita lead 13-11 now.

good....good...13-11...come on...needmore points to break away from Nolyn

Perfect Vita defence, wrong choice of attack by Nova.

Vita lead 14-11 now.

...Rijal slipped after trying to chase a smash return...I think he jumpsmashes a bit much, unnecessary, IMO....V & R lead 12-10...12-11...Rijal needs more work on his footwork & court movement/coverage...13-11 now..

14-11...okay...looks good...keep focusing....

Wild crosscourt from Vita, flew out.

Nova close gap 12-14 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 15-12

...Rijal slipped after trying to chase a smash return...I think he jumpsmashed a bit much, unnecessary, IMO....V & R lead 12-10...12-11...Rijal needs more work on his footwork & court movement/coverage...13-11 now..
Thats what I mean....Rijal needs to learn what shots to make...is that efficient or not....smashing helps but you can get tired and tend to makemore errors...

Nova service error, followed by Lilyana good return.

Vita lead 15-12 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 16-13

Yes!! 16-13......pls getmore pints ViJal

...both pairs slugging it out....V & R lead 15-12...

Vita lead 16-13 now.

Sustained pressure from World Champs, 14-16.

16-14...still too close......

Vita lead 17-14 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 17-15

Haiya....17-15...come on Vijal....

Vita is attacking Nova's serves more, his is a little loose.

Rijal/Vita leading 18-15

good.....18-15 for ViJal

Vita lead 18-15 now.

Vita lead 18-16 now.

Rijal/Vita leading 18-16

...a bit crucial stage in the game...V & R lead 17-15...18-15...

haiya...haiya...18-16for ViJal

All I can say is, the longer the game went, Vita got better, Nova got worse.

Vita misses an easy net kill, 16-18.

Now 17-18 for world champs.

Rijal/Vita leading 18-17

Oh No....18-17 now..come on..Come on ViJal

Rijal/Vita leading 19-17

Vita lead 19-17 now.

Yes!! 19-17 now...2 more points

YES!! YES!!! one more..one more....

First upset of the day?

...V & R lead 18-16...IMO, Rijal needs to learn from the style of Lee Yong Dae...use quickness, anticipation and placements more...19-17....Hau-ge is ready to jump out of his seat to celebrate...;)

match pt for Rijal/Vita,20-17...n nw 20-18

20-18...still for ViJal

World champs come back, 19-20.

Serve is short, Rijal and Vita wins!!!

Rijal/Vita won it...

Vita win 21-19 in 3rd game.

Rijal/Vita won...

Vita Marissa has won her 3rd titles with 3 different partners.

3rd consecutive runners-up for Nova/Liliyana?

congrats Vijal. Congrats hauge. :)

...shuttle went OUT........OUT of reach of Nova....V & R lead 20-19...close, close..and the new pair finally wins...big smiles on both Vita's & Rijal's faces..

Vita Marissa does it again. Winning 3 Japan Open with 3 different partners (Nova, Flandy and now Rijal) and two of those were first time pairings. Very very impressive! :D:D

...V & R lead 18-16...IMO, Rijal needs to learn from the style of Lee Yong Dae...use quickness, anticipation and placements more...19-17....Hau-ge is ready to jump out of his seat to celebrate...;)
YES!!! YES!!! 17 points plus 4 points = 21 points....if LCW (8 points) and WYH ( 14 points) wins today...then Thesham will win over 1 point...haiya!!! why my PAW Knock Out are so challenging...from Lu Yi, Madbad....:mad:;)

Rijal get his first SS title, Vita continues her biennial tradition and big PAW points for who picked them

I do not understand how this new partnership will works. Vita is already 27 while Rizal is still 22.

congrats Vijal. Congrats hauge. :)
Well....not done yet..I need Zhou Mi to win this time.....I am so intense..just looking at LIVESCORE.....:D

I'm off to clubbing. Have fun guys. :)

Is it prize presentation now? I cannot watch live. I watch it through live score.

it's good for V/R.. first time be paired
like ViLyn last year won CMSS for the first time they were paired

I do not understand how this new partnership will works. Vita is already 27 while Rizal is still 22.
OG champ, LHY is 27 and LYD is 20. ;)

I'm off to clubbing. Have fun guys. :)
Enjoy u saturday night fever
:D

Rijal get his first SS title, Vita continues her biennial tradition and big PAW points for who picked them
I think only 2 picked them...I just gambled big point in last minutes...to weightmy option...topick Vita/Rijal or Zhou Mi..( against Tehsham)

...why my PAW Knock Out are so challenging...from Lu Yi, Madbad....:mad:;)
...wait til one reaches the Final Round of PAW (if you or tehsham makes it) against the great Sandy (one might be wishing if they didn't make it to the Final round).........:p
I hope Sandy won't be playing any hanky-panky with the picks and pts....http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/23.gif

Has the WS game started?

Hopes the upsets trend continues in the PAW knock -out round with our tehsham beat the heavyweight favourites hauge :)

It is victory ceremony now. A usual lovely smiles shows on Vita's face

It is victory ceremony now. A usual lovely smiles shows on Vita's face

Thank You, Samuel.

I do not understand how this new partnership will works. Vita is already 27 while Rizal is still 22.
...neither do we, looking at the partnership of Nova and Lilyana...One is nearing his retirement time and the other nearing her peak age...yet both won 2 WC titles and nearly won a Gold medal @ this yr's Olympics..;)
Well....not done yet..I need Zhou Mi to win this time.....I am so intense..just looking at LIVESCORE.....:D
...Hau-ge, you should enjoy lah...but i can imagine tehsham now, is he relaxed or as intense and nervous as Hau-ge??..:confused: ;)

Award presentation...Rijal looking so serious, while Vita looking so relaxed, all smiles across her face.....

the award presentation finish le ma?look like so long de

Yup, the WS finalists are just coming into court.

Go, go, Zhou Mi!!!

Save my PAW, Wang Yihan!!!

the award presentation finish le ma?look like so long de

Why so long? I waiting anxiously for the third match. Do not delay our time.

Hopes the upsets trend continues in the PAW knock -out round with our tehsham beat the heavyweight favourites hauge :)
Actually Tehsham is a favorite one.....just look at the betting odd from the beginning (1.85 (TSH)vs 2.15 (HKH)....If he beats me...wont be upset....haha...it will be other way around....

come on Zhou Mi..........

...the GDTV in-studio broadcasters are still talking...............in the language of the gods (bahasa dewa)...while we await the WS match...

Yup, the WS finalists are just coming into court.

Go, go, Zhou Mi!!!

Save my PAW, Wang Yihan!!!

Thank you,Abedeng.

The match is going to start soon.

Zhou leads 1-0 now.

Level at 1 all now.

..this should be a very entertaining match (well, i hope so)...good to see the up&coming CHN WS star playing against the former CHN star....JIA YOU!!...
ZM sporting a large KLRC logo on her white/black polo shirt...WYH all set in her yellow top...

ZM shows off her repertoire of strokes, 2-1.

Zhou leads 2-1 now.

Terrific wristwork with crosscourt shot by ZM.......2-1............

Level at 2 all now.

...so far ZM has the edge and controlling the tempo...all tied up @ 2 a piece..

Level at 3 all now.

WYH slipped once in that rally, I hope she's not injured.

Yihan leads 4-3 now.

Yihan leads 5-3 now.

Zhou closes gap 4-5 now.
