MEN'S SINGLES QF
Joachim Persson vs Taufik Hidayat [7] -- Joachim is in the form of his life right now and another rubber-set beckons. However,I just have the sneaky feeling Taufik might squeeze past Joachim. Perhaps perhaps he can win his first SS title in Paris?

MEN'S DOUBLES QF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif [5] -- another rematch and the INA pair has the edge.

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong [4] vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki [7] -- it's high time Rian/Yoke beat a supposedly superior pair. This one should be interesting, although the MAS pair has the edge.

WOMEN'S SINGLES QF
Lu Lan [1] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- for the 3rd time after the Olympics Bronze Medal match, these 2 players are meeting each other again. They must be sick of that by now.....but still Lu Lan has the edge, unless Maria can overcome her mental barrier, esp during critical times. She managed to lead MOST OF THE TIMES, only to end up losing the match.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES QF
Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting [6] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [2] -- likewise, Vita/Butet always have problems when facing CHN pair (scratch pair or not). I think they might lose this one.

MIXED DOUBLES QF
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita -- a good job for Devin/Lita in progressing to QF, but I think they will be stopped by Nova/Butet.

Joachim Persson vs Taufik Hidayat [7] - I was impressed with Joachim's performance in Denmark Open and also in the 2nd round in French Open where he beat Sony Dwi Kuncoro in two sets no problem. Taufik's form is still questionable, he shound have won the first round against Petr Koukal in two sets and also had trouble against Hafiz. With Taufik having played such long matches he may not have the stamina to play against Joachim. Hope he proves me wrong.

I just hope Kenneth Jonassen can reach the final as this may be his last tournament and he has not won any major titles for a while. I believe he deserves to win this title more than anyone else.

French Open SS 2008 - Day 4 - QF (Friday October 31)

Greetings & Have a Great Halloween Day !!! :):):)

For the French Open SS 2008 today, will there be "tricks or treats" for us?

Looking at the QF Matches to be played today, we find as many as 10 countries represented. By the end of today, perhaps 5 countries would be left standing, namely;
China,
Denmark,
Indonesia,
Malaysia, and
??? (One more, but don't know which)

Here are some interesting matches to follow today, namely
(1) MS: Taufik Hidayat vs Joachim Persson
(2) WS: Lu Lan vs Maria Kristin Yulianti
(3) MD: Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Yonatan Dasuki/Rian Sukmawan
(4) WD: Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir
(5) XD: Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg vs Xu Chen/Pan Pan

:):):)
.

for WS another interesting match - WYH v Tine
and MD - CY/XC v FHF/SY

CY is against his ex-partner, haha... too bad can't watch this game :P

.
Oops... Same thread/topic has been created. :o:o:o

Perhaps, BC could move this thread to combine it with badMania 's : click here (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62213)
.

wow.... another match between MKY and Lu Lan......
can Maria revenge her lost in last 2 SS????

is TH stop at QF again????
Though match for him...........

Taufik always has problem against lefty players..

Joachim is lefty player????

Joachim is lefty player????
Yup Joachim is lefty which can be troublesome for Taufik. Hope Joachim can meet Kenneth Jonassen in finals.

wow.... another match between MKY and Lu Lan......
can Maria revenge her lost in last 2 SS????



.
Fans of INA would say ... "It's time for MKY to defeat LL". :):):)
.

Yes, Maria should put herself on equal footing with Lu Lan. It is not that she could not claw back from defeat, but that she allows Lu Lan to claw back that is the problem :eek:.

Wang Lin should not have much problem against Ai Goto. Wang Yihan might have a slight advantage over a less inspired (compared to last week) Tine Rasmussen.

Neither Xie Xingfang nor Pi Hongyan was impressive so far, either one could win today.

We might end up with all CHN affair again ..... :eek::crying::eek:

.

China,
Denmark,
Indonesia,
Malaysia, and
??? (One more, but don't know which)

there is also some representative from some other country, namely:
england , japan, holland, france,denmark, germany, russia :):)

MEN'S SINGLES QF
Joachim Persson vs Taufik Hidayat [7] -- Joachim is in the form of his life right now and another rubber-set beckons. However,I just have the sneaky feeling Taufik might squeeze past Joachim. Perhaps perhaps he can win his first SS title in Paris?

if TH is to win his first SS title in Paris, he has to pass his tricky quarter final opponent 1st, Joachim Persson..the left hander:cool:
if he gets past this, he might gets 1 roller coaster ride with lee chong wei next:););)
lee chong wei for sure will be awaiting to revenge of his defeat to TH in Macau open final..
its gonna be very very tough match for TH starting from the quarter final..:cool:;)..anyway, all the best to him in 2day`s match vs joachim persson.

No offense to the opposition, but it should be quite smooth sailing for both Lee Chong Wei and Kenneth Jonassen to pass through to semifinals.

Gade vs Chen Jin is more difficult to predict. Gade's performance this week is not as fluid and Chen Jin is looking more match fit now. A repeat victory for Gade is possible, but probably after 3 hard games.

Taufik vs Joachim Persson is the worst to call. By definition, Taufik needs to snatch the 1st game to have the upperhand. But Persson, like Jonassen, keeps fighting as long as he can stay in the rallies. Taufik is not consistently fast enough to trouble Persson badly, like how LCW did in Japan.

MEN'S DOUBLES QF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif [5] -- another rematch and the INA pair has the edge.


for sure THE FUZZY pair will once again play their best and all out in this match..
im sure they had learned their lesson in their previous meetings which they lost to the world number 1 pair.;):)
they knew what it takes to beat the 1st seed.
hehe..
i will rate this match 55-45..:p

Mixed Doubles:

The 2 top seeds from INA and CHN should not have any problem passing through

But the 2 ENG pairs will encounter stronger opposition. They will still start as favourites over their respective opponents in the other quarterfinal ties. Despite huge PAW points against ENG pairs, I am not going to bite the bait .....:p Just cannot figure out how the opponents (both are new or off/on pairings) could create an upset against a seasoned former XD World Championship winner (Nathan Robertson) and losing finalists (Clark/Kellogg).

Women's Doubles:

It is likely to be an all-CHN affair for the top section of the draw, Du Jing/Yu Yang and Zhao Yunlei/Cheng Shu expected to blow their respective opposition today.

In the bottom half, I am hoping for MAS and INA girls to clear this round so that we can avoid an all-CHN affair in the final. But to benefit from a win-win situation, my PAW is on the CHN pair, Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting .....:D

Men's Doubles:

The World and Olympic Champs are not likely to be toppled, as Zakry/Fairuz will probably find out today. Though it would be nice if the MAS pair could produce a better performance with a hint of an upset ......

Koo/Tan would be wise to respect Rian/Yoke, otherwise it would be another defeat in the long list of defeats against a lower ranked pair.:eek::mad::eek:

The 2 CHN scratch pairs do battle, which I expect will be won by the more technical Cai Yun/Xu Chen (assuming Xu Chen still has energy after XD).

And finally, Paaske/Rasmussen will seek to justify their seeding this time, and hope for a revenge match against Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye tomorrow.

Happy halloween!

http://blog.codeunit.co.za/images/20080820_Fat_Badminton.jpg

BOO!

hehe...

Anyway, my predictions

Eei Hui and Pei Tty would probably pull through to the semis.

Kien Keat and Boon Heong on paper will, but you cannot predict too much with that pair lah...

Zakry and Fairuz have a slim chance against the reigning World Champions, reigning Olympic Champions, and reigning world number 1s (that was a mouthful)

Chong Wei SHOULD pull through, operative word being should. Lu Yi is not an easy player.

Finally, Pei Tty and Kien Keat should pull through. I don't know why Rexy doesn't want this pair. This pair is awesome. Kien Keat should focus on XD not MD.

I dont think anyone can stop kido/ setiawan today...if fuzzy win this...i will not login bc until i finish i exam...hehe...no lar...just joking...:p

ll vs maria and wang yi han vs tine!!!

Sigh, why the schedule is so late night? I couldnt have enough sleep the last 2 days watching live score.
Go INA gals, beat the CHNs!

Don't think Lu Yi can beat LCW, he lacks any killing attacks and power.

Interesting matches

Pi Hongyan [6] vs Xie Xingfang [2] - PHY has not beaten XXF since 2003. A rematch of the finals last year and I think XXF will prevail again.

Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting [6] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [2] - I think the CHN gals have the slight edge.

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong [3] vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonatan Suryatama Dasuki [8] - Koo/Tan should win.

Cai Yun/Xu Chen [6] vs Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye - In the sake of gaining ranking pts, it could be a walkover or the latter be given an easy win. Unless team order, the former pair will prevail.

Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg [4] vs Xu Chen/Pan Pan - I don't see the unseeded Chinese pair beating the more experienced British pair. But it would be too tempting not to pick the underdogs as far as huge PAWing points is concerned. :p

Nathan Robertson/Jenny Wallwork vs Koo Kien Keat/Wong Pei Tty -
I guess Koo/Wong won yesterday partly because Laybourn was injured since Denmark Open. But the Malaysian pair still has the experience over the young Wallwork.

50-50 Matches

Lu Lan [1] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti - Being tied @ 2 in H2H with LL winning the last 2 encounters, it would turn either way. Maria has lost her last 2 matches after having been leading most of the times. It is another opportunity for Maria to prove again.

Wang Yihan vs Tine Rasmussen [4] - WYH leads 2:1 in H2H with TR thrashing WYH last week. Has WYH rediscovered the way to beat TR again?

Joachim Persson vs Taufik Hidayat [7] - With H2H 1:1, JP is in good form having beaten TH in Japan Open last month in 3 games. Having been pushed to the rubber sets in 2 previous matches, I'm not sure how much left in TH for the fitter JP. Can TH finish it in straight sets? Or can he survive for another 3-setter?

Peter Gade [8] vs Chen Jin [3] - CJ leads 6:2 in H2H with PG winnng @ Denmark Open last week in straight sets. Can he do it again against the slight off-form CJ? Another tough call.

my prediction ..

lu lan vs maria kristin = 40 - 60

j. persson vs taufik hidayat = 55 - 45

zhang and zhao vs vita and lillyana = 40 - 60

k.k koo dan b.h. tan vs rian and yonathan = 35 - 65

hendra and markis vs zakry and fairuzzizuan = 90 - 10

nova and lillyana vs lita dan devin = 60 - 40

tonight matches will be starting at 11pm (malaysia time) 10pm (indonesia time)

my prediction ..

lu lan vs maria kristin = 40 - 60

j. persson vs taufik hidayat = 55 - 45

zhang and zhao vs vita and lillyana = 40 - 60

k.k koo dan b.h. tan vs rian and yonathan = 35 - 65

hendra and markis vs zakry and fairuzzizuan = 90 - 10

nova and lillyana vs lita dan devin = 60 - 40






another silly prediction!

my prediction for ina players:
1. MKY Vs LL - mky has the edge. she has not won the ss title for a long time. i think that france open would be the right ss title to grab because mky lack european title. mky should win this in order to take a revenge. 60-40 for maria.
2. jp vs th - i think jp will win the france ss title cause TH is not in his good form, its also good to meet lcw and jp. 60-40 for jp.
3. ZYW/ZTT Vs Vily - vily has to grap this european title because vita marissa has lost in xd. This will give them a chance to win because usually both of them played xd and wd. 65-35 for ina pair!
4. KKK/TBH Vs rian/yoke - mas pair to win!
5. kido/hendra vs fuzzy - OC to win!
6. nova/butet vs devin/lita - for sure nolyn will win!

i think jp will win the france ss title---
I don't agree!:D
jp can't beat lee cw.(similar to lin dan vs hafiz match)

Chin/Wong vs. Meulendjik/Yao 60-40
Koo/Tan vs. Dasuki/Sukmawan 52-48
Zakry/Fairuz vs. Kido/Setiawan 45-55
Chong Wei vs. Lu Yi 60-40
Koo/Wong vs. Robertson/Wallwork 52-48

I'll see the matchs today. I'll tell you the shape of your players.
I'll try to take some pictures but my camera is not very good.

Hongyan ! Hongyan ! Hongyan ! :D

But come on MKY and YW too !

hehe...

KKK/TBH leading 11-9

Rian/Yoke have awoken from their shaky start as they now trail by 2 pts at the interval: 9-11.

Koo/Tan has only 2 pt buffer at the break.

oh...ya kah???hehe...when will u back to kelantan eh???hehe...:D
Young man, u know what your problem is? Things u r not sure don't simply say. Abedeng is our live commentator from the stadium in many tourneys. :cool:

U r lucky that Adedeng is not offended by what u said. Be careful next time... ;)

Meanwhile, my livescores still stuck... :(:crying:

Don't know how much energy Wong Pei Tty has left after this match, maybe I should cancel my PAW on her XD match.

KKK/TBH leading 14-9

The INA pair still struggles at net-play, with Koo Kien Keat in control now.

Koo/Tan rebuild their lead after tongue lashing from the coach, 14-9

Young man, u know what your problem is? Things u r not sure don't simply say. Abedeng is our live commentator from the stadium in many tourneys. :cool:

U r lucky that Adedeng is not offended by what u said. Be careful next time... ;)

Meanwhile, my livescores still stuck... :(:crying:

It will be another close match for Rian/Yoke to finally prevail, just as the way they did against MK/HS in JO recently

Don't know how much energy Wong Pei Tty has left after this match, maybe I should cancel my PAW on her XD match.
It will definitely affect her XD match. Hmm, XD match will be 4 hrs later... Let's see, I will too if KKK/TBH match lasts in 3 games.

Wong/Chin 11-3 at the break, if they let the Dutch catch up again, I would be very surprised.

camon kkk/tbh!!!

Chin/Wong leading 11-3

argh,tied at 19-19 for KKK/TBH match

HEHE...abedeng...maybe the slang have change after u leave...:p...hmm...so far...i always heard kelante...:p

Devin/Lita doesn't let go, 16-17.

Chin/Wong leading 17-7

Wong/Chin almost reach safe ground, 17-7

I think the Dutch pair is tiring, 18-7 to MAS.

2 matchpoints for XD World Champs.

2nd gamepoint opportunity, finally nailed by Koo/Tan. 22-20
Hope they maintain their momentum in the 2nd game..

Koo/Tan take the first set 22-20. The MAS pair dominates the net, whle the INA pair is slightly ahead in smash winners.
yeah, recently i see kkk/tbh`s game changes much because they didnt smash much!:mad: thats 1 frustating thing for me..
but thanks GOD they won the 1st set.:)

MAS girls on 13 matchpts. Converted at 1st attempt.

INA World Champs reach semis, 21-18.

Koo/Tan 3-4 behind.

Hope WPT will still have energy to play XD...

MAS MD tend to relax too early if they pull a big lead, almost fatal in 1st game.

Now they can't pull away, 5-4.

wtf...cant watch my livescore...stupid internet connection...

limsy...gt any tips for spm??...desperately need it...

Hope WPT still have energy to play XD...
but imo, she will be very tired together with KKK when they will play against the fresh england pair:(

yeah, my livescore also keep loading and loading and loading..
dunno what the heck is going wrong..

TH on court now...

come on.... koo tan u can do it honey :)!!!!! huhuu jiwang gilez..

Hope WPT still have energy to play XD...

That match is more than 3 hours away, dunno if she could recover ....plus they played up to the final round last week, so this week their overall performance should dip slightly.

MAS MD try to move on, 8-5

Joachim Persson and Taufik on court.

C'mon Taufik, I wanna see a rematch with LCW.

yeah, my livescore also keep loading and loading and loading..
dunno what the heck is going wrong..
I also tried a few times and restarted my pc. Nothing works. Gave up...
