I smell revenge!! Let's see if Chong Wei's mental training with Fredricks is taking effect :P I think Chong Wei has the upper hand as Taufik has played his past 2 games in 3 sets... Go Taufik!!!

As for the men's doubles.. Markis Kido/Hendra looks solid as a rock and lets see how the Malaysian pair does againts them.. I think this will be the last few times the Malaysians will play as a pair.. Well I have a feeling Rexy wants them to split..

Woah! Peter impressed me, beat Chen Jin in two sets.

Peter will play Kenneth AGAIN! Feel sorry for the two guys especially Kenneth who always seem to be behind Peter. Hope he wins this one. All Danish play out, will be good to watch.

Joachim was so close.. but I guess Tafuik proved me wrong, he still has the old Taufik inside. He will have a tough game against LCW.

Peter was fantastic today. Very hard match for Kenneth...
Taufik has a chance vs LCW. Yi Lu was really excellent but LCW has had troubles of concentration, too much back hands in the net.
Hope LL-Lin Wang won't be fixed.
Very interesting MD ! I think MAS pairs can make someting vs Kido-Setiawan.

MEN'S SINGLES SF
Lee Chong Wei [1] vs Taufik Hidayat [7] -- under normal circumstances, LCW should take this one. However, Taufik has shown that he still has the appetite for the big matches. LCW has a slight edge.

MEN'S DOUBLES SF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong [3] -- this will be the first time these 2 pairs meet after the Olympics QF match....the key to winning will be who can control the net. Koo needs to show that as long as he performed his best, he can beat can pair. Therefore, I will not be surprised if Kido/Hendra were to lose to Koo/Tan yet again :o

MIXED DOUBLES SF
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg [4] -- a tricky test for the World Champions...I hope they pull through.

Women's Singles:
Tine Rasmussen over Xie Xingfang
Wang Lin over Lu Lan

Tine is keen to make a point after the Olympics failure. Similarly, to salvage the title, CHN coaches would probably use team orders to place Wang Lin in the final. Lu Lan doesn't have the ability to beat Tine.


Men's Singles:
Lee Chong Wei over Taufik Hidayat
Peter Hoeg Gade over Kenneth Jonassen

LCW needs a title to cement his status as world no 1. Taufik, after 2 hard matches, has the ability and mental capacity, but probably not the legs to deny his friend. Gade will spell the end for his good friend's international career with another semifinal victory today.


Mixed Doubles:
Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir over Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg
He Hanbin/Yu Yang over Koo Kien Kiat/Wong Pei Tty

INA's World Champions should have no trouble dismissing temperamental English. Similarly, the Olympic bronze medalllists are now CHN's new No 1 XD and will not be disgraced by MAS part-timers ....... no matter what the PAW pts say. :p


Women's Doubles:
Du Jing/Yu Yang over Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei
Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting over Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui

Olympic Champs will not be stressed out by their upcoming compatriots for a finals place, thus almost guaranteeing WD title. It would be a harder battle for Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting. MAS girls will be no pushovers, having beaten both Yawen and Tingting when both were partnering Wei Yili. A lot will depend on the MAS girls' conditioning, as by now I would expect fatigue to set in. Good match to me to PAW for a win-win situation ......


Men's Doubles:
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Koo Kien Kiat/Tan Boon Heong
Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen over Cai Yun/Xu Chen

No clear favourite for first semifinals. Koo/Tan has a 5-1 head to head record but Kido/Setiawan has won the last one where it mattered, and reinforced their top rank status with almost unbreakable cement. A lot will depend on Koo's mind games against Hendra Setiawan for control of frontcourt. Meanwhile, our resident BC forummers will hope for a better outing than last week's exit at the hands of Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye.

LCW vs TH will be tough match.
coz I see TH has a desire to win this ss. mybe after this, he plains to retire if Icuk become head of PBSI.
in other side LCW doesn't want easy defeated by TH like last he met him on final.

11-01-2008, 01:51 AM
LCW's TH's best opponent cos LCW's the greatest motivation for TH to play his best.TH has spent twice the court time of LCW;3 hours vs 1.5 and if LCW cannot take out TH, Fred the psychologist should not take up any MJ's tournament slot in future.

Ranking point strategy.DO,fu/shen got more points cos of final so FO,cai/xu's turn to catch up.Like the Chinese say, zijiren (it's all in the family.)
Well, if non-CHN coaches continue to be dumb about ranking point strategies,badminton's gonna see CHN MD relay team strategy taking root although it should not be a serious threat.It just makes badminton as a sport appears low class.Pity if badminton has to look so silly again.And if non-CHN coaches don't do anything it now when it's possible to now, then non-CHN coaches have themselves to blame.

i hope that Chinese player will perform good here...
WS
Xie XF vs Tine R
Hope that Xie will catch back her no.1 rank
Wang L vs Lu L
Wang is in good form and she need to boost her rank
WD
i want to see DU/YU back in action but also want Cheng/Zhao to lift their rank.... finally i hope CS/ZYL win.. also good performance by ZYW/Ztt against Lillyana / Vita... hope all CHINA final in WS and WD
MX
He/Yu is my fave...
MD
Cai/Xu will go to final but hard to beat Markis/ Hendra in final...

Koo is a frontcourt player, he plays well at the net. If he concentrate only to play MX. he will be rearcourt player.. It's not suitable for his role in MD.

Ah, but you see, in PAW we have these so-called mind games, that is much better than the ones on court (bar Donna Kellogg's antics in S'pore Open XD Final or Lin Dan vs Li Mao showdown in Korea). :eek::p:eek:

11-01-2008, 05:11 AM
Under normal circumstances (all-CHN semis affair), that would be the case. However, since the MAS vs CHN WD match is played later, CHN coaches would be aware of the threat posed by MAS and therefore would prepare their strongest team to face that possible threat.

If however MAS vs CHN were to be played first and MAS girls lose, then I am sure that the CHN coaches would do what you and chris predicted.

Agree. And on that logic, the new CHN WD should win at DJ/YY's expense.

Robin you don't have to understand why some people keep carrying hate. Its in their system and they decide to keep it for whatever reason. Hate and jeolousy is like drinking poison oneselve and wishing the other person die. Let them keep drinking poison if they wish. You can't change them anyway unless they decide to change.

We MAS supporters just need to stick together to support good badminton for not just Malaysia but also the world. Let's not go down to their level.

BWF SUPER SERIES MASTERS FINALS 2008
It's on!
31 October 2008

The Badminton World Federation announced today that the BWF Super Series Masters Finals 2008, with total prize money of US$500,000 will take place from 18-21 December in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.


The announcement follows the successful negotiations, spearheaded by BWF President Dr Kang Young Joong and BWF Events Committee Chair with host nation Malaysia.

http://www.badmintoninternational.net/NewsEditor/Data/844-taufik-ss-big.JPG“This is an extremely good outcome for our top players and it will be a chance for us to showcase again the world’s top elite players at the end of this Olympic Year,” BWF President Dr Kang said of the announcement.
The format of the competition remains unchanged with the top eight ranked players/pairs in the Super Series ranking qualifying for the Finals. This, however, is limited to a maximum of two entries per event per member association / nation.


Following the success of the Beijing Olympic Games, Dr Kang has made this his top priority for benefit of the players and the sport.
“We are pleased to have brought together some quality partners for this inaugural Super Series Finals,” Dr Kang added.


The BWF wishes to acknowledge and thank key sponsors - Yonex-Sunrise, Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) and IEC In Sports as exclusive international broadcaster, for supporting the hosting of the finals.


The Finals reaffirm BWF’s commitment to creating a career path for players in the sport. This is the highest prize money badminton tournament to date.
