CHN leading 19-13

[Tjun Tjun]

Score 14-19..............

[carine]

19-14..........

[robin7]

Confusion by CHN. Still up 19-14...

[carine]

19-15..........

[anindnatsir]

Who's the winner? chn?

[Tjun Tjun]

It was the other way around - the shuttle was out but was called in :)

Yes you are right......still got hope .....16-19..................

[carine]

19-15...19-16...

[carine]

match pt for CHN,20-16

[robin7]

Long by ZYW. INA 16-19 from 12-19.

Nova served into the net. Match pt for CHN 20-16.

1 saved...

[Tjun Tjun]

I point saved....17-20.................

[carine]

saved 1 pt,20-17

[anindnatsir]

Come on.. Make ruber set..

[Tjun Tjun]

Chinese win 21-17......................

[carine]

n CHN won it.....

[samuel882]

XZM is a nice chap.. Met him in JKT.. Glad that he has won it.

[limsy]

hmm...again...unfair line judge eh???

[robin7]

XZB/ZYW won in straight sets 21-17 21-17.

Interestingly, Nova was service-faulted twice (1 game each) when INA was leading and CHN overtook the lead since then in both occasions. The unfortunate world champions never recovered after the disputed line call. The top seeds should have won the match if it was held in a neutral place.

[badMania]

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen have then the Mixed Doubles title after beating Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir 21-17, 21-17.

Once again, I have said this several times: Liliyana Natsir needs a younger partner.

[anindnatsir]

Hm.. The line judge unfair?

[Seasider]

Nova made too many mistakes. He couldn't focus or something; I don't know. O well, three times runner-up are not bad at all. Better luck next time!

[carine]

1 all btw CJ n sony

[robin7]

It looks good but called out. Point to CJ 3-4.

[carine]

sony leading 6-4

[anindnatsir]

[abesadi]

Hiks, nova butet lose..

Maybe butet need a younger partner.. But who? Frans kurniawan? Or muhammad rizal? Or hendra setiawan (if the md coach let the no 1 md in the world play xd too..)

[Seasider]

This game is kinda boring, LOL. But who cares? as long as Sony wins...LOL :) hope I dont jinx him.

[carine]

sony leading 13-10

[pociteh]

Sony looks determined, silently clenching his fists every time he wins a point. Hopefully he really can beat CJ and get another title here.

[Felix.]

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen have then the Mixed Doubles title after beating Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir 21-17, 21-17.

Once again, I have said this several times: Liliyana Natsir needs a younger partner.
I don't know why people keep on blaming Nova on this partnership whenever they lose. Yes Nova made mistakes but Natsir was not as fast as she used to be either. Even today her netting was clearly outclassed by the Chinese pair.

[anindnatsir]

How's the score?

[pociteh]

How's the score?

14-12, Sony's leading by a narrow margin.

[nunu27]

[pociteh]

Hope Sony doesn't lose his focus after the incident earlier (at 17-17).. come on Sony!

[carine]

sony at game pt,20-19

[anindnatsir]

Now? How's the sc0re?

[carine]

sony took 1st set,21-19

[robin7]

Sony was not affected by the line judge by taking 4 straight pts from 17-19 down to secure the 1st game 21-19.

[jen53669]

good, I hope Sony could win the 2nd set as well!

[copadh]

is it Gillian Clark commenting?

[abesadi]

Ayo sony.. Take the 2nd game.. Just focus!

Ayo, kamu bisa!

[badMania]

Leading 17-15, Sony Dwi Kuncoro had a lapse of concentration to let Chen Jin win 4 in a row to make it 19-17. Then, it was Chen's turn to lose 4 in a row and let Sony take the first set 21-19.

[jen53669]

4-0 for Sony, i hope he will keep the lead

[jen53669]

oh 5-0 now! please win this set..

[carine]

sony leading 5-0 in 2nd set

[copadh]

[jen53669]

Sony still leads, 5-2

[CLELY]

What a superb performance by Sony Dwi Kuncoro, he eliminates Chen Jin with 21-19 ; 21-18. Back-to-back SS title in two weeks, well done!

[copadh]

US $ 18,750 + cute dinosaur mascot....

[Tjun Tjun]

CJ....always a gracious loser.......Sony gets his winning purse of US$18,750...........

[badMania]

It was an impressive performance from Sony Dwi Kuncoro as he won his 3rd Super Series titles in a row (INA, Japan, and now China Masters), after beating Chen Jin in straight sets 21-19, 21-18. Chen Jin made too much unforced errors and was once trailing 9 pts in the second-set.

[etudiant]

Dont worry..Lin Dan will comeback soon...
there's not a single player in the world that LD has not beat yet

He isnt afraid...

He has just won the OG
He has won a lot of of SS a countless times before
he just got billions yuan plus bonus from CHN gvrnment
...so,if I'm Lin Dan : "the hell with just skipping 2 or 3 Super Series tournaments!!":)

[jen53669]

2 TITLES (AGAIN) FOR INDONESIA..
CONGRATZ...

[lim'zzz]

my PAW only true 3 and false 2.T.T

[lim'zzz]

because of nolyn n butet,wang lin lose.huh!

[jen53669]

SJJ/XC got 4 game points in the second game, not enough luck probably?

[badMania]

Phew...it was a close shave as the CHN pair Sun Junjie/Xu Chen pushed the World and Olympics Champions all the way....but at the end, experience proves to the be the key as Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan saved 4 game pts at 18-20, 20-21, and 21-22, before taking the second set 24-22.

So, another title in Greater China won for the World No 1 pair as their record of victories continues with 1 Chinese-Taipei Open, 2 China Opens, 2 Hong Kong Opens, 1 China Masters and the Beijing Olympics Gold Medal alll won in the space of 2 years. Now, if only they are sent to the Macau Open.......

The remaining titles to be won in Asia: Singapore, Korea, and the elusive Japan Opens.

Kido/Hendra also need to start winning titles in Europe, starting from either the Denmark or French Super Series next month.

[leonardklh]

kido and setiawan.. they still the world top men double player!!!

[leonardklh]

next tournament:!!! MACAU OPEN 2008!!! focus on that!!!

[lin_xingfang]

SJJ/XC got 4 game points in the second game, not enough luck probably?

maybe more about a lack of experience...

being the 76th world ranking but they can forced the number one world ranking pairs to a deuce game is a good prospect for the young chinese...

[badMania]

next tournament:!!! MACAU OPEN 2008!!! focus on that!!!

I would be happy if Tantowi Akhmad/Yulianti can spring a surprise next week.

[jen53669]

maybe more about a lack of experience...

being the 76th world ranking but they can forced the number one world ranking pairs to a deuce game is a good prospect for the young chinese...

i agree, i agree, i hope indonesia can also maintain their young player..

KOR wins 1 (Lee Hyun Il in the Korea Open).

What a come-back by the INA team....
Good timing.....

[limsy]

then...LYB should be more focused on SDK than TH now..
no doubt that SDK now is the most powerful conderter for the big 4 (LCW,LD,BCL,and CJ)

what a performance by INA player
he smacked two out of three of the best CHN MS in their homefans

HMM...actually...there are no big four lah...bcl is now downhilling,cj never beat ld or bcl in international tournament by his own strengh...even cwf from mas slayed him in india grand prix gold...:rolleyes:...sdk is the one nearest to ld and lcw now...:D....gambateh...sdk...


he said that?really a low class comentator:D

sure he does...i think he tot that people outside of china will not heard that...:mad:...


he mentioned at least twice~~~

welcome here...my friend...:D

[smashmouth]

I think our Malaysian friends can learn a lesson from SDK's victory.

Notice that despite winning the silver in the olympics, LCW's confidence is at an all time low. On the other hand, despite not winning any medal in Beijing, Sonny bounces back and wins back-to-back super series titles. Why is this so? Let us see .... Who between the two has got fans who support him - win or lose? On the other hand, who's unappreciated?

Go figure ....

[ctjcad]

ah well, was getting ready to follow the Finals until eyes and body wouldn't allow so...:(

...
The remaining titles to be won in Asia: Singapore, Korea, and the elusive Japan Opens.
...
..how about the M'sian Open SS title for your fave MD pair??..;)

INA wins 3 out of 8 Super Series titles this year, after a big fat 0 last year (all won by Sony Dwi Kuncoro).

..uh-oh, coach Hendrawan's job is in jeopardy.;) Looks like Reony Mainaky?? has been doing a fine job as Sony's temporary coach..:cool:
But what a performance by SDK, as he really took advantage in these last 2 SS with the lack of top MS players playing (he sure made me eat a few crows for doubting, earlier in the week, that SDK won't win this China Masters title).:p. I can imagine his confidence must be pretty high right now.
Seems like he has shrugged off that "Mr. Quarter Finalist" mantle off of him, too, eh??..;)
Anyway, congrats to all winners and participants (back-to-back SS wins for INA's Sony and CHN's Cheng & Zhao). :cool:

*..does anyone know how many back-to-back MS SS winners have there been??:confused:..is this the first time a MS player has won three straight SS titles??..:confused:
**CHN's WD pair of Cheng & Zhao's performance in the Final!! wow, a mere 29 minutes!!

Well done to Indonesia doubles and singles! It's a Sony... ;)

[badMania]

..how about the M'sian Open SS title for your fave MD pair??..;)


They have won it this year, beating Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen, remember?

[ctjcad]

..that one, okay (you know better). Sorry, memory lapsed. Too much sleep time for me....:o
*Besides those missing Asian SS titles, they still have their work cut-out for them as European SS titles (i believe all of them, along with the European GPs and GP Golds:p) are still missing in their trophy case..;)

Thank you to all who have posted in this thread, updating the results as they happened. :):):)

It's great for people like me who could not be at the computer following the matches as they happened. Our carine 's posts of running scores between ZM and WL were great.

Congratulations to all winners of the 5 events. :):):)

I am glad that 3 out of the 5 event winners were whom I predicted could be the champions, right from the start of the tournament, namely;
MS: SDK
WS: ZM
MD: MK/HS

Thank you to our BCers again.

SDK is great be first player this year who have hattrict witrh winning 3 SS consecutively
He won Indonesia SS, Japan SS, and China Master SS.
Actually also there is Tine R who won 3 SS this year, but not consecutively.

I also noted that INA XD pair Nova/Butet be Mr/Mrs Runner Up recently
they be runner up at OG, JO, and CMO......
I think something wrong with this pair, may be they mental and stamina should be improve......

Yong_Hui ... Yes, I predicted that INA XD pair Nova/Butet would be the champions at this tournament too. :o:o:o But we should give credit to XZB/ZYW for playing well against them.

Let's hope that Nova/Butet could do better in their next tournament.

He is a very patriotic umpire/service judges...:rolleyes::rolleyes:
I wonder why there was no netral service judges being used...all are from China.

I guess OG Bronze 04 is better than OG Bronze 08....

..yes, those 2 players, SO FAR, are the only players/pairs who have won 3 titles this yr; and either or both could win more. But the yr is not over, yet (still 4 more Super Series left).
And yes, since the yr is not over yet, we do have some other players/pairs who have won 2 SS titles, this yr, already.
And, pulling out the infos from my socks, they are:

MS - Lee Chong Wei (M'sia Open SS, S'pore Open SS)
WS - Zhou Mi (Korea Open SS, CHN Masters SS)
WD - Yang Wei & Zhang Jiewen (M'sia Open SS, Swiss Open SS); Du Jing & Yu Yang (Korea Open SS, S'pore Open SS)
MD - Markis Kido & Hendra Setiawan (INA Open SS, CHN Master SS); Mohd Z. Abdul Latif & Mohd. F. Mohd Tazari (Singapore Open SS, INA Open SS)
XD - He Hanbin & Yu Yang (M'sia Open SS, Swiss Open SS)

I am excluding these pairs, below, because they'll probably not play any longer this yr (different reasons):
Jung Jae Sung & Lee Yong Dae (winners of Korea Open SS, Swiss Open SS)
Zheng Bo & Gao Ling (winners of Korea Open SS, INA Open SS)

That was a surprise, wasn't it? :):):)

We all thought that MK/HS should have won the 2008 INA Open Mens Doubles.

hmm..very interesting to see yesterday all 5 final matches although none malaysian players involve.:)

The reporter was a malaysian too, so no biased reporting either.
I said only what the MAL reporter had said, nothing more, nothing less.

[sihker]

Damn, watched Sony DK vs. Chen Jin. IMHO, Sony was testing the umpire and stretching the limits a bit too much. Shuttlecock change, racquet change, towel downs. Didn't see much sportmanship :(
Game itself was interesting, but the sidestory doesn't make this a classic.
Dang, I need a new hero. Don't like chinese squad, grand old men are getting old (Taufik, Gade, Jonassen), Sony plays mind games, LCW has failed in finals :D Lee Hyun Il had interesting style, but he quit also :D
Anyway, my 0.02$ :p
