French Open SS 2008 - Finals (Sunday November 2)

[Morten]

This match has to be on youtube in a few days!! :)

[abedeng]

Again, Gade's long clear is accurate, 7-4

[abedeng]

Gade uses his backhand to escape TH, 8-4.

[abedeng]

TH snatching at the net, Gade 9-4

[robin7]

TH is slowing down and looks tired. PG 9-4.

[abedeng]

If this goes on, it's not good for my PAW and I may have to concede the title to Leonardklh ...... unless I change to a very risky PAW now.

11-4 Gade.

[sari_nov]

c'mon taufik..FIGHT..!!

[Morten]

Go peter!!! Very impressive for a 31 year old to show such good form lately and taking in account that he has astma too and was injured/out due to that for some months this year

[chemile]

I think TH run out of the gas...... PG will grab the crowne....

[robin7]

TH is in trouble, tailing 4-11 in the decider...

[skyblue]

a statitics stated that Yu Yang haven't a experience that win WD and XD title in a tournament.Maybe a good thing for MAS gal.

[Jagdpanther]

Can Taufik repeat what he did in 1st set?
We'll see. Although with his depleting stamina, I doubt so...

[kimir]

both players are tired....

come on taufik!!!!!

[LI De Quan]

seems like singles results will be same as denmark open!!

[victory]

I can't speak for the other moderators but here's my take on this:

I oppose banning anyone for holding a view another doesn't like or agree with. If not, there would be only Republicans or Democrats, but not both.

For instance, we encounter a great many people who carelessly declare that badminton is for sissies. Well, I couldn't disagree more... but, even so, I would agree that he is entitled to his view.

I'm merely echoing what someone said a long time ago (and, no, it wasn't Voltaire): “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.”

d65up2 is treading a fine line here... but I don't see his posts as obscene, derogatory, insulting or personal. At least, not yet ;)

The best response to views we can't endorse or tolerate is to ignore them.
Responding or even attending to it only feeds the mouth it came from :)

I totally do not agree what you say.

You do not feel a thing because it is not your country that is targeted at. In fact I think his post is insensitive, provocating and absolutely insulting. Even his/her own Indonesian comrade repremand this fella can't you see?

A few months ago Vching has pm me about suggesting banning d65up2 for exactly the same reason at that time. That is d65up2 brought up nothing in a thread and talk about hatre that's targeting Malaysia and Malaysian players. But I have suggested to him to ignore him at that time. you see we have tried to be a big person but there is a limit to being a big person.

In this case it is clearly not a issue of banning anyone disagree with another person. This is clearly a issue of hatre and insult. Many forumers can clearly see it. Look at some thread that's repremanding d65up2. tTey can clearly see there are strong hatre. Even indonesian supporters agree with it. Why can't you?

Arguing an objective arguement like badminton is for sissies is totally different from saying" Singaporeon play badminton like sissies particularly oldhand". You see the different? IF I were to constantly provake and insult Singaporean that way would you stay mum? Would you feel hurt? And you won't fight back? In this issue there is nation pride involve. Do not take it like lightly. In fact Malaysian forumers should be highly regarded for responding so maturely and do not fire salvo at all Indonesian. We all know it is this insensitive moron that's creating all the trouble for all of us.

We want d65up2 out and we think it is a very just request. I urge kwun and all forumers to act immediately. For you oldhand, I especially urge you to be sensitive to other people's pride. You fail to see this is not an issue of agreeing or disagreeing a debate. You guys have been great in creating a great place with a good objective, that is to bring the best out of badminton. A sport we all love. Be carefull not to let a few insensitive fellas and your own slopyness ruin the place. High quality people with good self esteem will not come in if they see this is a place where low characters are free to throw mud around.

I urge you to ban d65up2 immediately for the good of this forum.

[robin7]

It's over for TH... PG 16-4 up...

[Jagdpanther]

Alright, I think no more gas for Taufik...

[rhinovinda]

Game over for TH:o

[Morten]

16-4 seems like its over for Taufik. Something unique has to be done for a comeback when you are this far behind

[robin7]

PG can sense the victory as he leads 17-6...

[Jagdpanther]

Taufik, at least get 10 pts...

[ctjcad]

..just starting to watch this...the 3rd game seems like a resemblance of Taufik's 2006 Japan Open Final vs. LinDan...:p

[stork]

taufik catching up again, winning 3 of last 4 points 7-17

[abedeng]

I just changed my last PAW, no choice.

Gade leads 19-7 as Taufik misses a net cross court.

[robin7]

PG has 13 match pts...

[xlasher]

Hey What I think Can it be taufik suddenly have something annoy him... because if he knows his stamina is almost out,,, he wouldn't let PG take the second set/....

[extremenanopowe]

wow... well done to Gade. Taufik seems to be doing a lot of mistakes today. No form. ;)

[Jagdpanther]

White flag waved, most probably...
Yes, 21-7. Congrats for Peter Gade, 2 consecutive titles.

And here comes my dinner...

[robin7]

Yes, PG won back-to-back Denmark and French titles in 2 weeks.

[abedeng]

Gade wins 21-7, costing me 10 PAW pts and forcing me into desperate PAW measures.

Most likely the French Open PAW will be leonardklh's title .....

[badMania]

Congratulations to Peter Gade as he wins yet another Super Series title, which makes it 2 in a row now. Taufik has a chance to nail it down in the second set, with 4 more pts to go at 17-17, but, Gade proves to be the stronger.

Suddenly, Peter probably will now think it over whether he should retire now :cool:

[eaglehelang]

WOW, PG is going to win, oops won already! Off to check the WR# again...........hehe

[stork]

red wine beats cigarette 2-1

[Morten]

Hey What I think Can it be taufik suddenly have something annoy him... because if he knows his stamina is almost out,,, he wouldn't let PG take the second set/....

When you are a top player like these two I dont think you let someone "take" a game because that could result in a defeat. These two players are just very close in both level of play and plays close to a similar game with very fine footwork, deception and maybe the best technique seen around.

[LI De Quan]

the great gade!!!!!!!congrats!!!

[robin7]

PG cupped his ear before throwing his winning racket to the crowd again... Haha...

He is delighted... Well done and congratz to Peter Gade!

Taufik, u too r great!

[acmilan]

Hey What I think Can it be taufik suddenly have something annoy him... because if he knows his stamina is almost out,,, he wouldn't let PG take the second set/....

that something is his stamina, his stamina out first before he knows it's almost out :) No lah, Peter Gade was awesome, run all over the court.

[rhinovinda]

Congrats Peter Gale!

[ctjcad]

..Taufik could barely move, let alone chase the shuttle, in the 3rd game, with him trying hard to reach those dropshots; which essentially led to him making tons of mistakes.
Congrats to Peter Gade as the crowd is really giving both of them a longer than usual standing ovation.:cool:

[sari_nov]

congratulation for PG..

[tehsham]

Congrats PG...honestly did not imagine he can beat TH

[abedeng]

The crowd chants "Taufik! Taufik!" has he claims his 2nd place prize. That's good.

Gade goes on top of the rostrum accompanied by shouts from the crowd.

[badMania]

Both players deserve a standing ovation for providing a great match....(at least until set 2). The rubber-set was basically a walkover as Taufik was totally spent.

But, really, both players put their heart out for a classic match! Taufik Hidayat should be proud for proving to us that he still is to be counted as a great player!

As for Peter Gade, who can ever think that he can win back-to-back Super Series titles after the Beijing Olympics :eek: I believe these victories have solidified his intention of winning the All-England or World Championships title next year!

With Lin Dan probably no longer in the mood to compete in as many tourneys, and Chen Jin + Bao Chunlai still not in solid form, Peter Gade could just be one of the few players who will be in contention for those big titles.

[grunfeld]

How is Gade pronounced?

[leonardklh]

yeh... gade won dy...

[ctjcad]

WOW, PG is going to win, oops won already! Off to check the WR# again...........hehe
..Taufik must be saying to himself, "I can't believe i made it to 5 straight 3-games matches!"..;)

Prize ceremony, the crowd is chanting "Tau-fik, Tau-fik" when he received his flower bouquet...and "Pe-ter, Pe-ter.." when it was time for Gade to receive his; i didn't see any cheques being handed to both players. Really neat, as this could be the last time both of them played against each other competitively.:cool:

[badMania]

The ones who will be in contention for the AE and World Championships:
(1) Lin Dan -- obviously
(2) Chen Jin -- lost twice to Peter Gade in the past 2 weeks.
(3) Bao Chunlai -- I don't think he can win these 2 biggies.
(4) Sony Dwi Kuncoro -- injury prone, so, we shall see
(5) Lee Chong Wei -- the burden of being World No 1 is too much for him.
(6) Taufik Hidayat -- small chance, but, who knows....
(7) Park Sung Hwan -- yet to see him since the Beijing Olympics....
(8) Simon Santoso -- slim chance, but, he still has a few good years of badminton in him.
(9) Joachim Persson -- starts to impress, but need more victories over the above players.

[leonardklh]

gade is pronounced as ga-deh..

[phaarix]

Brilliant match!! But it looks like FIVE three setters in a row finally caught up to Taufik. He was gracious in defeat, great to see :). And Peter was really amazing! Once he'd found his game he got back just about everything Taufik threw at him. Unlike LCW yesterday, when Taufik's smashes were a big weapon for him. He definitely ran out of steam though. He needs a good rest :).

[TH_4_President]

congrats for PG, hope Kido/Hendra would fix it and bring home one title for INA

[abedeng]

A special ceremony is being held for Kenneth Jonassen. He gets an award for fair play and sportsmanship.

[phaarix]

..Taufik must be saying to himself, "I can't believe i made it to 4 straight 3-games matches!"..;)

Prize ceremony, the crowd is chanting "Tau-fik, Tau-fik" when he received his flower bouquet...and "Pe-ter, Pe-ter.." when it was time for Gade to receive his; i didn't see any cheques being handed to both players. Really neat, as this could be the last time both of them played against each other competitively.:cool:

Yeah the crowd was really enthusiastic, which made the match even better! I think both players really had a good time.

[leonardklh]

why they take so long for women double match... beside prize presentation..

[ctjcad]

..that is if he intends to compete in the yr end Super Series Finale (he has played in 6 SS tourneys, so far).;) He's got to prepare (and maybe train much2 harder) himself for next month's China Open and HK Open. Now, those tourneys will be better tests for him.:cool:

[abedeng]

Women's doubles finalists coming out. CHN in black, MAS in white attire similar to Danish Open Final.

[Noridayu]

This is the match that I waited most.

[Noridayu]

All the best of luck to you,ladies.

[**KZ**]

saw taufik was joking with kenneth b4 he went to the podium...

Hopefully it's enough time for him to recover then :o. And Peter on the other hand played like he was in his early 20s!!

[jutawin]

Wang lin n peter gade win today. If MK/HS & wong/chin win it too, it will be the repeat of denmark open champions. Except for MX. come on MK/HS, bring a title for INA..

Mas closes gap 2-3.

[pjswift]

a statitics stated that Yu Yang haven't a experience that win WD and XD title in a tournament.Maybe a good thing for MAS gal.
Depends on whether the umpire can pass Yu Yang's umpire test:delay tactics.She would ask for a break during opponents serve(against the rule) and if not granted, she will point to the floor to be wiped.She's the umpire's boss but very few umpires are aware they have been twirled by her.Only Jane Hancock of the AE fame saw through her guile;that's why she lost in AE08.When Lady Jane said no to her too many times,YY lost her direction and the match.

I urge you to ban d65up2 immediately for the good of this forum.
..personally, i would leave it up to the mods & kwun to decide the right course of action (banning him now doesn't mean he would not come back again, under a different user/screen-name & post the same stuff). The one thing that bothers me most is his constant annoying and repeated negative vibe/posts (it's almost like asking "Don't you have enough negative posts already?":().
Anyway, i think the majority of us are ignoring (or at least trying to ignore) those posts.

..now, back to the matches..:p

[badMania]

I don't think INA player will compete in these last 2 SS..

Taufik Hidayat WILL COMPETE in the Li-Ning China Super Series 2008 and also the Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Super Series 2008. The other MD pair competing in the China Super Series will be Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya.

Meanwhile, almost all the INA top players (except for Simon Santoso, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, and Nitya Krishinda/Greysia Polii) should be turning up for the last SS event of the year, the Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Super Series 2008.

[abedeng]

CHN 13-12, MAS push is wide.

[Noridayu]

Mas trails 12-13.

[pjswift]

Go peter!!! Very impressive for a 31 year old to show such good form lately and taking in account that he has astma too and was injured/out due to that for some months this year
That's just Nature's way of guiding him to compete less to win more...

Will INA players skip the SS finals in KK to ?

This one, I am not sure. However, with the big prize money of US$500,000, I don't think those qualified players will pass the chance to earn these huge amounts. The appearance fee should at least cover the ticket and accomodation to KK.

[Noridayu]

Closes gap 18-19.

[ctjcad]

the MAS pair is hanging in there...very good defense also and reading the CHN's pair shots well..some chants of "Malaysia, Boleh!" with a couple of "Zhong Guo ren, Jia yous"...

YES!!! My PAW is still on....come on Du/Yu!!!
A very topsy turvy match for sure. I thought the MAS pair would have nailed it at 19-17...with 2 more pts to go and Du Jing in not a good form.

Let's see what happens next....

I want Wong/Chin to win... but I also don't want to lose my last PAW :(!
