[kidforever]

Taufik 14 LCW 10.. i think very hard for LCW to win dy

[kidforever]

Taufik 15 LCW 10... sigh!!!!

[robin7]

Indecision by LCW 10-15.

[kidforever]

TH 16 LCW 11..... any chance?

[carine]

extends to 16-10...haiz

[robin7]

Oh dear, LCW is gonna lose. The curse of World #1 contines to LCW...

[badMania]

I think Taufik is gonna take this one....as he leads 17-11. 4 more pts to end a title draught and an unexpected title yet again for Team INA in Macau perhaps?? Let's see...

[robin7]

Long again. TH 18-11...

[kidforever]

18 - 11... no more chance.. so sad

[netHa]

wish no rubber set..

hehehe...

TH...TH...

TH winner lah...

[badMania]

Oh dear, LCW is gonna lose. The curse of World #1 contines to LCW...

The more burden he carries (as World No 1), the more he can't play to his form.

[cooler]

lcw is toast.... can he pull a MAL open miracle?

pjswift, any comments?

[nunu27]

come on TH u can beat LCW, i'm sure abt it...:)
18-12 for TH

[kwun]

18-12. the magic point has been reached.

[kidforever]

but dun give up yet.. LCW beat Lindan when he was 13-20 down last time in malaysia open?

[netHa]

an upset here???

not 4 me..
hahay..

[Smichz]

But why LD can play in his top form when he's at the world no 1?..

[badMania]

Lee Chong Wei should have wrapped up the first game, leading comfortably in the middle stage at 14-9, only to be overtaken by Taufik.

[robin7]

A bit too late for LCW to come back, still 14-18 down...

[volcom]

It's all becauss OF the DATUKKK

[kidforever]

YES.. 3 pts in a row.. common LCW

[cooler]

But why LD can play in his top form when he's at the world no 1?..BECAUSE LIN DAN CAN WALK THE TALK:p

[kidforever]

common.. dun put the blame on LCW/.. some credits to TH too.. he plays really well

[kidforever]

YES 4 pts in a row... common LCW

[Smichz]

and LCW can't??Hehe..

[robin7]

In. LCW 15-18. Can he come back?

[cooler]

HMMM, look like lcw is attempting another MAL open miracle

[badMania]

Come back by LCW as he wins 4 pts in a row to make it 15-18. But, Taufik wins one more back, 19-15. 2 more pts now....

[badminto_expert]

Hi boys,. Here is macau. is not malaysia. LCW home player.. he beat lin dan at home. LCW never beat Lin Dan outsite malaysia.


but dun give up yet.. LCW beat Lindan when he was 13-20 down last time in malaysia open?

[netHa]

Come back by LCW as he wins 4 pts in a row to make it 15-18. But, Taufik wins one more back, 19-15. 2 more pts now....

[kidforever]

Good game for both the players.. TH is the better player today with a lot of attacks and good defense and less mistake from him,...gratz TH ...

[b4Ron]

[volcom]

Great performance by Taufik. Congratulations.

[cooler]

TH want to show that soni can't take INA top MS status:p

[Smichz]

Finally,a title for this year..

[badMania]

Amazing...Taufik Hidayat ends his 1.5 year title draughts as he beat the World No 1 Lee Chong Wei in straight sets 21-19, 21-15. What an unexpected victory for Taufik, as Team INA wins yet another one title in Macau this week as our streak in Men's Singles continues ;)

Chinese Taipei Open GP Gold -- Simon Santoso
Japan and China Masters Super Series -- Sony Dwi Kuncoro
Macau Open GP Gold -- Taufik Hidayat

[samuel882]

It's all becauss OF the DATUKKK
Thats right.. Dato cant afford to lose in early rounds.
In the final, he just lack of the initiative to win.. twice in a row.
Dato can get alots $$$$ from the "backdoor" , why shld he care about the winner's cheque ;)

[kidforever]

Haha.... Your malaysia player still have title: Play at home better... home player.... INA said: Jago Kandang...hhaaa...


LCW Lost again... and lost again....

If you have forgotten, LCW won indonesian super series in ur kandang before... :rolleyes:

[badminto_expert]

INA, China, and Korea always play better both at home and other country..

not like malaysia.... That's true..and real...


horeee. TH won the game 21-19.21-15

[bao_ambar]

yes...

[Krisna]

Taufik is back?!? I wonder if this is his last swan-song... I hope not...

[samuel882]

TH want to show that soni can't take INA top MS status:p
TH to Sony : " U don't deserve to overtake my position! not yet!" :p

[cooler]

Finally,a title for this year..it was a lonnnnnnnng dry spell. Hmm, no top china and korea MS dog playing tho:p Soni wasnt there either.

[agakarebatu]

So glad Taufik won. It proves he still has 'THE CHAMPION' in him.

Ayo, Taufik. Kamu MASIH bisa!!!

:D:D:D

[Xinguy]

wow congrat to taufik it been awhile sincew he entered final...

[CLELY]

What a surprise, former world champion Taufik Hidayat shocks world number one Lee Chong Wei with straight sets victory, 21-19 ; 21-15. So final result of this tournament -- CHN wins 2 titles (WD and XD), INA-HKG-MAS grab one title each (MS, WS, MD).

[badminto_expert]

LCW won because Lin dan and Taufik not join at the time.....OK...take note that..

Taufik not interested play with u jago kandang... He interested play with Lin Dan..


LCW won Sing Open because: Lin Dan, Taufik, Chen Jin, BCL not join also...Take note that


If you have forgotten, LCW won indonesian super series in ur kandang before... :rolleyes:

[Xinguy]

wow congrat to taufik it been awhile since he last entered final...

[b4Ron]

Amazing...Taufik Hidayat ends his 1.5 year title draughts as he beat the World No 1 Lee Chong Wei in straight sets 21-19, 21-15. What an unexpected victory for Taufik, as Team INA wins yet another one title in Macau this week as our streak in Men's Singles continues ;)

Chinese Taipei Open GP Gold -- Simon Santoso
Japan and China Masters Super Series -- Sony Dwi Kuncoro
Macau Open GP Gold -- Taufik Hidayat

Wow.. back to back to back to back MS titles.. Nice..:eek:

[Smichz]

Good game for both the players.. TH is the better player today with a lot of attacks and good defense and less mistake from him,...gratz TH ...

ALot of mistakes,more than LCW did..He presented some free points for LCW..more than LCW give to TH.

[badMania]

Taufik is back?!? I wonder if this is his last swan-song... I hope not...

Well, it will be good to end his career with a title....go out with a bang!

Now, let's see if Mel/Shendy and Maria Febe can win the titles in Bitburger later on to make this a perfect weekend!

[kidforever]

LCW won because Lin dan and Taufik not join at the time.....OK...

Taufik not interested play with u jago kandang... He interested play with Lin Dan..

Lol can i just know how old are you??? still a small kid??? when Taufik Hidayat wins, i congratulate him... when taufik was beaten, u cried?? dumbo

[cooler]

wow congrat to taufik it been awhile since he last entered final...
lin dan is very busy, give lyb a call to arrange one;):p

[badMania]

7 titles in 4 weeks for Team INA with a chance to win 2 more later on today. Plus, our juniors are showing some good performances too. Wow.....

I always say that Team INA performs better in the second half of the year and we usually do!

[Smichz]

Yes..congrats to TH for the macau 2008 title.Congrats to INDO MS..they have done a great job in this 2008.

[phaarix]

Yessss!! I wonder how many shuttles they went through in that match :S...

[eaglehelang]

Hi boys,. Here is macau. is not malaysia. LCW home player.. he beat lin dan at home. LCW never beat Lin Dan outsite malaysia.

Japan Open 2007 semi finals was in Japan. 2008 TC in Indonesia ;)
And oh yeah, both Taufik & LD were there in Japan 2007, LCW won the title.

Anyway, congrats to Taufik for winning his 1st title this year. Hope to see more good baddy from him.

[Vodude]

Taufik Hidayat WONNNNNNNNNN
man I am soo happy..
Did you see the net cross.. even LCW surprise himself LOL
The commentator said LCW didnt do much training after the OG this is might why LCW do many mistakes.. anyway.. this is worth watching my best two heroes fight against each others..

[kidforever]

LCW won because Lin dan and Taufik not join at the time.....OK...take note that..

Taufik not interested play with u jago kandang... He interested play with Lin Dan..


LCW won Sing Open because: Lin Dan, Taufik, Chen Jin, BCL not join also...Take note that

And u made urself sound so stupid... Taufik Hidayat was beaten by Sony Dwi Kuncoro then in that 2007 Indonesian super series.. and are u saying Bao Chun Lai and Sony Dwi Kuncoro are craps also? stupid!

[kidforever]

badminto_expert, i really hope u can grow up and get ur facts right before u start to bla bla bla with ur mouth which is full of **** and nonsense

[robin7]

Good to see WMC still be able to smile on TV... Mr Runner-up has been passed to Lee Chong Wei now... Taufik deserved the win today as he played more aggressively. The curse of World #1 continues to Chong Wei...

[badminto_expert]

Oh... You are a bit angry...haaa.. Sorry that... but that's true...

if don't want to said that your player titile is jago kandang.... your coach have to teach the mentality players...

That's million people say same things. have to take a look your team self and try to improve it..haaa..


Lol can i just know how old are you??? still a small kid??? when Taufik Hidayat wins, i congratulate him... when taufik was beaten, u cried?? dumbo

[copadh]

Hi boys,. Here is macau. is not malaysia. LCW home player.. he beat lin dan at home. LCW never beat Lin Dan outsite malaysia.

LCW beat Lin Dan on Thomas Cup semifinal in Jakarta on Mei. Come on, be objective, LCW, like Lin Dan and Taufik, is also a good player. That's why he become world #1 now. But, today Taufik is better than him. That's life, guys. Sometimes up, sometimes down. Become a champion, or world #1, doesn't mean he's unbeatable...

peace...

[badminto_expert]

That's true... Singapore, INA, China, korea and also Denmark said Malaysia very strong play in their home....OK....

Bye bye...Good luck Taufik...and sad to LCW...

haha all the ladies have got great personalities.. they're so nice

[fareast]

By the way.. Just checking the all 5 match duration in this final, all are in straight set, the average is only around 35 minutes per game, which result in less than 3 hour game in total..

Looks like this is the fastest final game i've ever seen..

[robin7]

wah...any old member familiar with him???...
looks like he didnt do any homework to blast people...:rolleyes:...
Just ignore him. This guy should have been banned long time ago. I think he has been for a while. Anyway, I have reported it to the mods already and let them take immediate actions.

I sincerely hope to see more action from TH.

KBH is absent from the prize presentation.

[limsy]

hmm,taufik is back....played just like lin dan...hmm...uncle robin...i suppose all player that lost in semis fly back mas already...

[Jagdpanther]

Wow, this is very unexpected!:D
Who would have guessed that Mr. Taufik would be the champ?

More, in term of percentage of champ per shuttlers sent (4 MS, 3 WS, 1 MD, 1 WD, 1 XD), we won big time too! 1/10. That makes 10%.:p



see...u are downgraded urself...and athens OG ms gold medalist...Taufik sure felt shame to have this kind of fans in ina...

Erm... badminto_expert's stat board states that s/he's in Sembawang...

I agre, INA players did well in Macau. And I mean those juniors. Taufik is much older than the rests.
If only we could sent more juniors, that would be even better.

I'm not an expert in this, however, Alam is quite experienced, I think.
He's already 23, if I'm not mistaken. About the same age as Simon.
But, the latter is MS Top 15 (again, I might be wrong), while Alam is still in 40-50.

[baihaki_as]

Well if you're trying to be sacarstic, then it's up to you...

poor u is the defeat lee chong wei effect u so much....

Oh really?? but then i see simon santoso more often in tournaments compared to alamsyah... anyway though Taufik is 27 now, i'm really glad he is back in form.. this will certainly make the men's single more interesting..

Thank u..thank u but i think u should take some rest now
u just wrong to translate my opinion
i'm not interesting to comment about lcw lost
but my comment is for taufik

But, the latter is MS Top 15 (again, I might be wrong), while Alam is still in 40-50.

Simon is WR#7 now, Alamsyah = WR# 45, Tommy Sugiarto = WR#39.;);)
I was surprised that Alamsyah's already 23. Thought he's a kid like our Msia juniors at 18 / 19.
Oh.... SOny's WR #5, good ol Taufik at WR#10 wants to catch with his juniors, hehehe

[Silencer]

ERM...OPPONENT PLAYED BETTER....so...u cant discredit what opponent done...TH work hard to win this...lcw didnt give him easy won...;)

agree! TH is in smashing form today...

[Jagdpanther]

Oh really?? but then i see simon santoso more often in tournaments compared to alamsyah... anyway though Taufik is 27 now, i'm really glad he is back in form.. this will certainly make the men's single more interesting..
IMO, he got challenges only from Wen Kai, Tommy, and LCW. Too early to say he's back in form.
He still haven't beaten 'The Special One.':p

Anyway, I think Koo/Tan are back in action. And more MAS MD juniors to come. Pretty dangerous one. INA should be careful... Can't rely on MK/HS forever.

[kidforever]

Thank u..thank u but i think u should take some rest now

Ok my bad then... if this is just a misunderstanding between me and u, my apologies... but then taufik did well,... he deserved to be the champion today

[Silencer]

But I guess MAS fans can cheer themselves by the title by koo-tan
and also seeing Julia Wong improved so much...

so far this tournament.. WMC dissapoints me the most

Yeh, everyone wants to beat lin dan in a final.. but i think Taufik was the one who beat him in the final most..
lets hope that all players will be on their best when they get down to play again... i cant wait for the next super series to come..

[kidforever]

But I guess MAS fans can cheer themselves by the title by koo-tan
and also seeing Julia Wong improved so much...

yeh Julia Wong has been fantastic... hopefully she'll get more tournaments and improve herself more...

[Jagdpanther]

We have many MSs: Indra Bagus, Alam, Tommy, and more. But I'm still confused who deserves for INA MS #3.
Oh, for me, Sony is #1, Simon is #2. Taufik? Let's say he's our...#1.5.:p

[badMania]

Alaysyah Might Be Just Greater Than Simon Santoso....yunus Is A Great Player In Future...well Talented...

Errr...he's about 23 or 24..and still hasn't really made any breakthrough yet :cool:

Hahaha taufik seems to be very moody last time when he played... but this time he smiles and relax a lot... heauheauheau i still think that taufik is the no.1 for Ina... i still remember he gave some advice to LCW when LCW was having a slump... so i do believe Taufik can be a great player again.

[badMania]

Macau Open is the only tourney giving away medal and check to all semi-finalists.

ZM is smelling the flower presented to her... So funny...

Not really. I remember the World Championships also give out medals to the Semi-Finalists. I thinkk all players who qualify for QF of GP events will receive prize money.

[copadh]

Errr...he's about 23 or 24..and still hasn't really made any breakthrough yet :cool:

Alamsyah is 22, to be precisely. A year younger than Simon, but older than other back up MS in pelatnas: Tommy (20), Aditya (21), Indra Bagus (21), and Bandar Sigit (18 by the end of this year). They should do something good soon...

[baihaki_as]

yesss taufik play well

None of them has really achieved anything yet...With the exception of Andre that won several GP titles last year, and he's still in Djarum IIRC.

Yes, Andre is still in Djarum. Andre won the KLRC New Zealand Open GP last year and several International Challenge titles (Toulouse and Indonesia) this year. He was also runner-ups in the Russian Open GP Gold and Yonex-Sunrise Vietnam Open GP last year.

[jutawin]

Indonesia MS regeneration is too late. Taufik become WR#1 when he was just 18, n become olympic champion at 23.. The juniors doesn't win anything at these ages. Taufik still THE BEST..

[samuel882]

hmm,taufik is back....played just like lin dan...hmm...uncle robin...i suppose all player that lost in semis fly back mas already...
TH played like LD? ROFL!
This is the funniest jokes:rolleyes:
And why Khe Wei / Hui Lin din't fly back but appear in the prizing cermony?
Where is the fact before spoken;)

[extremenanopowe]

Wow... well done to Taufik and KKK/TBH. It has been a long long time...;)

[nauyuchi]

koo kien keat and tan boon heong... well done!!!

Anyway, I think Koo/Tan are back in action. And more MAS MD juniors to come. Pretty dangerous one. INA should be careful... Can't rely on MK/HS forever.

hmm...just relax...we arent that great...hehe...;)...


Errr...he's about 23 or 24..and still hasn't really made any breakthrough yet :cool:

Wow... well done to Taufik and KKK/TBH. It has been a long long time...;)

Yeah,it has been a long long long time...
Taufik played very very well over the a bit off form LCW.Credit to Taufik.
I'm satisfied with the performance of KKK-TBH but still got room of improvement.It is still early to say they are back at their top form,one thing for sure they have gain back some confidence after retaining the title in Macau.

[koo_fan]

Thanks for the won ,kkk/tbh.
Way to go.Do not lose hope.

[zazaza]

Chong Wei still having mental distress from the Beijing failure to capture the gold medal.

Congrats to KKK/TBH.

[abedeng]

Congrats to all winners.

Special mention to Zhou Mi's superhuman efforts for the past 3 weeks, 2 wins and 1 runnerup finish at age 29 is no mean feat, uncomparable even against men's singles players. Dare I say it, she's a better player outside the CHN WS squad. Notable fight from Julia Wong, good for the development of Malaysia's WS team beyond WMC's era.

Congrats to Koo/Tan for rediscovering the winning touch. But they have to start winning against top opposition to showcase their revival.

Kudos to Taufik for beating the odds and toppling LCW. Fine display and no doubting his genius pedigree. One wonders if he just started peaking, his Beijing Olympic form was nowhere close.

Zhao Yunlei/Cheng Shu have arrived, 3 tournament wins in 3 weeks shows that at least the CHN WD (and XD) coaches were prepared for future contigencies. Bad news for other countries' squads.

[volcom]

Taufik's actual age was 20 when he became WR1, ;) So it's not too late for anyone.

[Zealous]

Still sad for Chong Wei. :crying: I hope he'll take a break for a while and come back winning or maybe he doesn't have to take a break, just go win. lolx. :p

[Heong]

I think the problem lies in LCW. Certainly he as worked his way well through to the finals but by looking the score in Japan Open in the final match.. I was shocked. Thought he would win or at least take it into a deciding game.. but lost out badly in the second set.. );
Even if no win, at least get a convincing score..
He has not been playing as good after OG. He is definately fit enough, maybe it was the loss in OG that still mentally distracts him.

Whatever it is, hope he can overcome the problem & get back in shape. Poor guy.

[FuWang]

Yeh, everyone wants to beat lin dan in a final.. but i think Taufik was the one who beat him in the final most..
lets hope that all players will be on their best when they get down to play again... i cant wait for the next super series to come..

why everyone want to beat LD in final?! any special achievement when have beaten LD? however, the world no. 1 now is LCW... I see beat LD is just like a MS's ambition.. so, who should LD beat if He want his winning to feel more special?:confused:

PBSI will send Tommy, Andi Nugroho, Indra Bagus,Aditya to NZ Open.
Alamsyah is 22 .....I think PBSI will tart sending him more to Super Series....
Alam is very nice guy and good attitude.....
Indra Bagus is a bit spolied and play too much PSP...sigh!

Agree, I think is good that Tuafik came up as winner, that makes the MS more interesting in coming tournaments. Chong Wei lost is not a loss if he learn from his mistakes and continues to work hard which he usually does.
Players' form fluctuate from time to time but is important that they don't dip too low like Tuafik once was, welcome back Tauifk and hope the upward trend continues!

[robin7]

..over Taufik winning this Macau Open tourney..:confused:

Btw, the main reason why Taufik won this Macau Open GP Gold is because........................................... ....................Sony was not playing.;)

The more burden he carries (as World No 1), the more he can't play to his form.
..that certainly is a possibility...and i hope LCW can deal with it..Let's see what he does in the upcoming European circuit, considering there will be a very short break/rest period in between..

[rhasan]

Taufik did play very well. You might of noticed he was not afraid of using his fitness. What i mean he was not lazy. This time he played with much more stamina. Where he played the backhand he played the forhand more often. In the second match however i think Taufik got a little more sluggish and lee chong wei upped it with his defense and crosscourt smashes. His two crosscourt smashes and defense were AMAZING which means i think he was holding back the entire time. But honestly Taufik played MUCH better overall especially in the first game. His netplay was excellent and so was his attacking from backcourt. I especially like the last point where LCW did a tumbling netshot and TH took it crosscourt. That was funny:D.

dont u know? it depend which way the wind blow:p Few weeks ago, it was king Soni DK, a new era of INA MS badminton. This week, TH is the man.:D

..that certainly is a possibility...and i hope LCW can deal with it..Let's see what he does in the upcoming European circuit, considering there will be a very short break/rest period in between..

No doubt lcw has issue with focus and mental strength. He beat (barely) TH in 07 JO. With TH being less fit now and lcw still in OG form (OG was only 1.5 months ago and lcw maintained form for JO), he should able to beat TH in macau open.

Especially the world is also full to crisis from financial to energy. Really no need to have additional one :D May be Chong Wei did it intentionally so to bring out the "semagat" of Taufik :D
Congratulation to Taufik, we are happy to see him back to the top!

ok, cooler, I sense you miss my opinions to get you thinking.
But pls do me a favour.Find my big piece expounding LCW's great mental strength and post it here. It still applies even when he lost to Sony and TH.
There's no reason why Sony and TH shouldn't win.They have skills to match and both were very, very , very HUNGRY.Remember both won medals in OG04 but none in OG08 so they have to make up for that.The fact that both did, defeating the toughest opponent LCW,is a sign that they are true champions.I haven't seen the TH match but I believe they must have played their best to win. There is no way any player can take out LCW without giving their best(LD included).
Of course I'm delighted LCW lost to INA MS because he has boosted their confidence and self belief. We saw how Sony beat BCL and CJ, even though Sony was half as fresh as CHN MS.That's just so great of Sony and I'm so happy for him.TH's win is crucial because it will motivate him further to work on his fitness, if that's one factor accounting for his win.And keeping him interested in playing his best.
When LCW meets Sony or TH, it's a win/win situation for him.If LCW wins, that's wonderful.If Sony or TH wins, that's also wonderful. Sony would move up the rankings with WR2 in sight and TH would give CHN MS extra to worry about.
CJ, who needs at least 10 days intensive preparations, after a draw, would now have 3 manuals to study;LCW, Sony and TH.So too for BCL and LD.CHN MS is gonna need a lot of luck which probably can be found in CHN.

Just because you are anti-CHN yourself, does not mean that LCW, Sony, Taufik are a group of anti-CHN badminton group working together to prevent CHN domination.:eek::confused::confused::confused::rol leyes:

So beside LCW being a Datuk, he should be awarded as a "Saint" as well according to you, since he will sacrafice himself so others like Sony and Taufik can gain some self-confidence and together fight against the evil LYB and CHN badminton team.:eek:

Luck found in CHN? I bet Lin Dan can absorb the "Chi" from the crowd and make every smash as powerful as a "spirit bomb", that's why LCW got owned in the OG final... it was 20,000+ people against LCW in the final, that's why he lost so tamely.:rolleyes:

I think LCW should be worrying really. LCW exposed his weakness during the match against LD in OG and TH has employed the EXACT strategy from LD and executed prefectly in the Macau Open final.

It is almost unusal to see TH hamming down every shot like FHF, then following by a quick net kill. It is unlucky for LCW that he couldn't drag it to rubber.

[Athelete1234]

Wow....you're right. LCW is gonna get owned by every top player if they all play LD style and smash to his forehand, then hammer down the reply. And IMO, Taufik smashes harder in the sense that when he does do a big jump smash, he almost always gets the point, from ANYBODY (LCW, LD, etc).

Congrats to Taufik though.
