1. Starting at 2:00 PM XD Yohan Hadikusumo WIRATAMA / Hoi Wah CHAU [1] [HKG] vs Chen XU / Yunlei ZHAO [CHN] - I'm rooting for the unseeded Chinese pair to upset the top seeds.

2. Followed by WS Mi ZHOU [3] [HKG] vs Julia Pei Xian WONG [8] [MAS] - Julia has been impressive this week, beating Wang Lin and Yip Pui Yin en-route to the finals but I think Zhou Mi is too strong for young Malaysian.

3. Followed by MD Kien Keat KOO / Boon Heong TAN [1] [MAS] vs Chieh Min FANG / Sheng Mu LEE [2] [TPE] - Interesting 51-49 game and expecting a fast and attacking match. Having never been beaten in the finals, the top seeds have the slight edge over the first-time finalists.

4. Followed by WD Jin MA / Xiaoli WANG [CHN] vs Shu CHENG / Yunlei ZHAO [CHN] - A battle between two pairs of CHN future WD with a 3rd back-to-back title for the latter.

5. Followed by MS Chong Wei LEE [1] [MAS] vs Taufik HIDAYAT [4] [INA] - Datuk should take this one. I forgot when was the last time they met. Was it All England 2008?

5. Followed by MS Chong Wei LEE [1] [MAS] vs Taufik HIDAYAT [4] [INA] - Datuk should take this one. I forgot when was the last time they met. Was it All England 2008?

Yup, quarterfinal of AE 2008 -- TH lost to LCW with straight sets, 21-23 ; 17-21.

just wondering about HKG mix double,Yohan Hadikusumo, his face looks like Allan Budikusuma, do they have family relationship?

Yes, i think they are related some how.

Go Julia, Lee Chong Wei and KKK/TBH. Hantam!:D

Should be a nice finals. Wonder if Taufik's is fit enough to sustain the rallies.;)

just wondering about HKG mix double,Yohan Hadikusumo, his face looks like Allan Budikusuma, do they have family relationship?
Yes. Alan is the older brother of Yohan.

Taufik to win hahaha

no TV live ??????????

I'm now really can't wait tmr match btw LCW VS Taufik:D

PREDICTION

Lee Chong Wei vs Taufik - the world number 1 will justify his position and win his 1st title as rank 1. A runner-up for him is consider as a failure. But, who knows how much energy Taufik has after blowing away KBH easily in the semi-final...

Zhou Mi vs Julia Wong - Julia is really stunning everyone here. She upsets Wang Lin and Yip. But, too bad Zhou Mi will prove to be too strong for Julia. Will Zhou Mi ran out of steam after an exhaustive match with Zhu Jingjing and 3 consecutive finals?

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu - Koo/Tan are not really performing well in the tournament though they are able to reach to the final as they struggle to win the 2nd set in the semi-finals. In the other hand, I am impressed with the taiwanese performance so far. They can be a big threat towards other top pairs.

Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli vs Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei - Zhao might be exhausting after a close 3 set fight with her teammates in the semi-final. In addition, she has to play in the mixed doubles event before coming into the court for women's doubles. So, the other chinese pair will grab this golden opportunity to secure their 1st title.

Yohan Hadikusuma/Chau Hoi Wah vs Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei - the chinese pair will get their 1st title. Hopefully, Zhao can recover fast after a tiring match in the semi-final. If not, the Hongkong pair will grab the chance and fulfill their seedings.

all the best to the malaysians!!! julia, chong wei and koo/tan... malaysia boleh....

PREDICTION



Zhou Mi vs Julia Wong - Julia is really stunning everyone here. She upsets Wang Lin and Yip. But, too bad Zhou Mi will prove to be too strong for Julia. Will Zhou Mi ran out of steam after an exhaustive match with Zhu Jingjing and 3 consecutive finals?

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu - Koo/Tan are not really performing well in the tournament though they are able to reach to the final as they struggle to win the 2nd set in the semi-finals. In the other hand, I am impressed with the taiwanese performance so far. They can be a big threat towards other top pairs.



Hopefully Julia Wong can give Zhou Mi a great fight... Julia Wong has made Malaysia so proud... give her a bit of time and more tournament, and i do believe she will do even better...
KKK and TBH are not that impressive today... but FCM and LSM also struggled against CCE and CCM... but i somehow do believe that KKK and TBH will win tomorrow... they have the ability... best to watch when they hit top form ;)

Yes. Alan is the older brother of Yohan.
If i'm not mistaken, Yohan played single last time before switching to mixed double? :confused:

MS : Lee Chong Wei vs Taufik - the world number 1 is still not at his regular level. Taufik on the other hand was very impressive against KBH. Slight advantage to LCW but I would not discount Taufik from winning this time.

WS : Zhou Mi vs Julia Wong - Julia has had an excellent tournament, but her run is expected to end tomorrow. It would be a good badminton lesson from Zhou Mi, unless Julia can capitalize on her experience opponent's fatigue. But I think Zhou Mi is too smart for that.

MD : Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu - None of the two pairs played really well. Koo/Tan made heavy weather of the 2nd game and Fang/Lee struggled against coach-less Chan/Chew. But on account of finals experience, I pick the Malaysians to succeed.

WD : Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli vs Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei - CHN's future WD no 1 will pick up their 3rd consecutive title and move towards the top ranks.

XD : Yohan Hadikusuma/Chau Hoi Wah vs Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei - The CHN pair will have the edge unless HKG pair can apply pressure early.

Aha i c..thanks a lot for the info..:). Gd luck for MAS players tomorrow and Taufik also..Yes. Alan is the older brother of Yohan.

XD : Yohan Hadikusuma/Chau Hoi Wah vs Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei - The CHN pair will have the edge unless HKG pair can apply pressure early.



.
XD : Yohan Hadikusuma/Chau Hoi Wah vs Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei - XC should be hungrier/determined to win this one with his new partner ZYL.

I am a bit astonished that in our PAW games, XC/ZYL were given 21 points while YHW/CHW were only given 5.

:):):)
.

Enjoy the big PAW pts while it lasts, once the young CHN pairs go up in the rankings, pts will be depleted like black gold ......

hehe, i have to admit that this time abedeng has already very addicted to the paw game:D

hope malaysia can get 3 titles here later..
iah!:p
malaysia boleh!:)

Hopefully TH can take the match n play it seriously ,unlike when he played with the underdogs.Come on,show ur passion,TH!!

TH used to beat SDK. SDK beat LCW last time. So TH will beat LCW today.
You see i believe in badminton mathematics :cool:.

All best of lucks to our players. Fly Jalur Gemilang up high. Malaysia Boleh!

hope malaysia can get 3 titles here later..
iah!:p
malaysia boleh!:)

George, hope that LCW can nail this title today and it will make u happy. I hope that Julia and KKK and TBH will make us happy too.

I hope Koo Kien Kiet and Tan Boon Heong can get their rhythm and confidence back by winning this Macau open! Lee Chong Wei also!

the match btw HK XD n CHN XD going to start soon~~

...lots of new faces, mixed in with a few well known veterans...

LCW vs. Taufik, i wonder who are bananakid and our cooler cheering for??..:confused: ;)..and they're saving that last mouth watering match til the end..:cool:

the 2 XD pairs are warming up but livestream (SDTV) is still showing a tennis match...:p

Hopes Chan HW can maintain her outstanding form as yesterday semis.. She is cuttier than yippy :p

CHN XD all knotted up @ 8...tennis has finished but livestream hasn't started, yet..and my eyes are getting heavier..:p

Relentless attack by Chau.....controlling the front court with her smashes.............

What an good match to be started. A battle of pure attacking play by the chinese vs the tactical play by the hongkies

10 all now~~~~~

Chen XinDong looks not so happy during the interval

...lots of new faces, mixed in with a few well known veterans...

LCW vs. Taufik, i wonder who are bananakid and our cooler cheering for??..:confused: ;)..and they're saving that last mouth watering match til the end..:cool:
Isn't it obvious? :rolleyes: . . .

FINALLY!!...livestream is on....again, a delayed broadcast..:p

5 straight pts by CHN after the interval... CHN 15-11...
Oops...15-12 now... make it 16-12...

Did Yohan lose some weight? He looks leaner and sharper to me...

HKG 15-17...

The drift inside this court clearly affected their games

Isn't it obvious? :rolleyes: . . .
..who??..both bananakid and cooler aren't too affectionate for both LCW and TH...:confused:

CHN pair ahead and on game pt...And 1st game to CHN...Zhao Yunlei could be the next Gao Ling for CHN..

i like the way how the floor moppers are sweeping the mat/court simultaneously and so coordinated..CHN pair ahead 5-3 in the 2nd game..

CHN took the 1st game 21-15.

Zhao Yunlei can be the next Gao Ling if she wins both titles in XD & WD today.

HKG pair leading 7-6 in 2nd set now

the 2 XD pairs are warming up but livestream (SDTV) is still showing a tennis match...:p
:D Which player are you using to watch SDTV? Yesterday BTV6 stopped just bf CCM/CCE vs Fang/Lee match :mad:

Xu Chen's racquet crossed the net and pt awarded to HKG, 11-10.

it's a close fight in the 2nd game..13 a piece..oh, Xu Chen fell to his knees...questionable call, i guess the umpire called off the point because the shuttle hasn't gotten over the net when Xu Chen tapped it down..

Yohan is making too much unforced errors in the 2nd game. CHN 16-13. 17-13 now.

Energy sapping rally eventually won by the Chinese after Chau lifted a weak reply.......17-13........

Double hit by HKG. CHN 18-13. 18-14 now.

:D Which player are you using to watch SDTV? Yesterday BTV6 stopped just bf CCM/CCE vs Fang/Lee match :mad:
..using TVAnts, watching through SDTV...it showed the entire scheduled broadcast yesterday without any stoppage...

The CHN's pair's defense is solid. They're running away now 18-13..Chau Hoi Wah is the weak link..sometimes it seems like it's 2 against 1 out there..
And CHN closed it out. Man, it must've been a very good workout for Yohan, considering he was the playmaker 80%, at least, of the time out there...:p

Clever cc drive by XC. CHN 19-14.

Wonderful placement by Xu into an empty HK court.....19-14............

match pt for CHN,20-14

CHN @ match pt 20-14.
Wide. CHN 20-15.
Landed in. CHN 20-16.
Netted. CHN won 21-16.

CHN won with,21-15,21-16

PAWers are 21 points richer...

:D Which player are you using to watch SDTV? Yesterday BTV6 stopped just bf CCM/CCE vs Fang/Lee match :mad:


PPMATE is working fine.

Zhou Mi and Julia Wong are done with their warm up...Zhou Mi to serve...
they're showing the tournament's mascots welcoming the players coming out of the tunnel...Julia in black top & bottom with white accents across her shirt..Zhou Mi all dressed in green top and light blue bottom...Julia off to a quick 3-0 start..make that 5-1 start..

Amazing 5-0 lead to Julia....................

PPMATE is working fine.

Thanks, I tried PPMate yesterday for SDTV & BTV6, didnt work. Never mind, now watching CSPN thru UUSee, the commentators are more interesting than BTV6 ;)

The drift seems to be coming from Zhou Mi's side of the court...On the 1st point, Zhou misjudged the shuttle as it landed in...Julia ahead 7-4..Julia playing with confidence, not holding anything back..now it's a 9-6 advantage as Zhou Mi is still struggling to find her game..

Slowly but surely ZM catching up.......9-10.....................

Indeed ZM has caught up with Julia....10-10......in fact leading now 11-10...........

Amazing comeback by ZM... Julia just too "raw" for the final

come on Julia...jia you

Wow, Julia just delivered a ferocious smash down the side...Zhou ahead now 13-11....what in the world!!! they've stopped the broadcast??..:confused:

ZM leading 16-11

ZM leading 17-12

Mistake after mistake by Julia.

This will be the fastest match to finish among 5 finals today

ZM leading 18-12 now...look like Julia going to lost in 1st set

ZM took 1st set,21-13

looks like FIBA (women's) basketball is more interesting than (women's singles) badminton....oh well, i guess we'll wait for the MD match??...:p

Mistake after mistake by Julia.

I would say long after long after long.....he, he, he......she could not control the shuttle.....

Wonderful rally ending with a superb crosscourt net by Julia......5-3............

anyone cn update the score pls??my live score can't work

Julia,fight fight fight.....

11-7 julia is leading

What aggressive play by Julia and she is rewarded.....11-7..............

13-12 for JULIA

ZM is exhausted and Julia should try to move her around...

Huge pt. ZM 18-16...

gogogo julia...don't make mistake ...

Great dropshot by Julia. 18-all.

All level 18-18..............

2 match points to ZM....can Julia fight back?.....yes 19-20..................

ZM looks exhausted after the last pt. If Julia managed to push it to the rubber, ZM could have been lost.

Anyway, congratz to ZM for winning 2nd straight title.

I'd love to watch MS & MD.

Its good to see KKK/TBH in the finals. Not sure if they have re-gained their confidence though. Hope to see them back in form.

Lee Chong Wei vs Taufik - Should be no problem for Lee Chong Wei, being trained to be more fit than Taufik but should be a good match. Lee should be able to win in two straight sets.

MD : Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu - Not too sure about this one but I believe the Malaysians should be able to win but not easily.

gogogo Koo/Tan.....

Yupe...Hopefully this title will bring back good luck to KKK/TBH and be the new beginning of this combination.:rolleyes:Hmm..LCW vs Taufik coming soon..I am in dilemma,don't know who to support.:D:D

At last, we bag one title in our hand and one runner-up until now.

Yupe...Hopefully this title will bring back good luck to KKK/TBH and be the new beginning of this combination.:rolleyes:Hmm..LCW vs Taufik coming soon..I am in dilemma,don't know who to support.:D:D

Cheng/Zhao leading 15-12 now

Usual boring domination stuff by the CHN squad.

Shows how much their WD squad is ahead of the rest, compared to the other disciplines.

Tian Bingyi does a lot of great work, LYB should reward his old partner more ......

match pt for Cheng/Zhao,20-17

Yupe...Hopefully this title will bring back good luck to KKK/TBH and be the new beginning of this combination.:rolleyes:Hmm..LCW vs Taufik coming soon..I am in dilemma,don't know who to support.:D:D
u r in a very advantageous position, even if your hero lost, your other hero still win:p

Cheng/Zhao won it...21-15,21-18

coming up next.....

LCW VS Taufik

Malaysian,get ready for the battle. Malaysia Boleh!

One thing that bothers me is how CHN can produce very fit WD players, but not in WS.

Different emphasis, perhaps.

Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei won their 3rd back-to-back title by defeating their younger compatriots Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli 21-15 21-18.

u r in a very advantageous position, even if your hero lost, your other hero still win:p

The only thing better than that would be a win-win situation in PAW.

hehe, i have to admit that this time abedeng has already very addicted to the paw game:D

AGREE...;)

...lots of new faces, mixed in with a few well known veterans...

LCW vs. Taufik, i wonder who are bananakid and our cooler cheering for??..:confused: ;)..and they're saving that last mouth watering match til the end..:cool:

haiya...cheer for both...

..who??..both bananakid and cooler aren't too affectionate for both LCW and TH...:confused:


ZM looks exhausted after the last pt. If Julia managed to push it to the rubber, ZM could have been lost.

Anyway, congratz to ZM for winning 2nd straight title.

ya...this is right...

u r in a very advantageous position, even if your hero lost, your other hero still win:p
