Apart from the INA team, BCL, Cai yun/ Fu haifeng and Du jing/ Yu yang may also withdraw from HKSS. (according to sina.com) :crying:

cai/fu and Du/Yu also withdrew??? Too bad..... Indonesia team withdrew as well??? Whole team????

For those INA players that are in the draw already, most of them are almost certain to come (barring last minute injuries). However, Maria Kristin Yulianti will not come as I heard that she was injured :mad:

shocked me, I thought whole team withdrew except Taufik like China Open :D But it's too bad with the absence of Maria :o

For MS, Taufik Hidayat and PB Djarum's 3 MS players: Andre Kurniawan Tedjono, Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto, and Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka will be there.
For WS, 2 from PB Djarum: Maria Febe Kusumastuti and Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari. The other two are Adriyanti Firdasari and Pia Bernadet Zebadiah.
For MD, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki and Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan.
For WD, only Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir.
For XD, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir and Mohd Rijal/Vita Marissa.

A total of 14 players/pairs, out of which 3 will have to go through qualifying matches starting from tomorrow late afternoon.

MK and HS are going to HKO?? I thought they were skipping the last 2 SS?

..when their biggest fan in the world, or is it in BC, resides in HK...;)

Adrew Smith will play again against Park in the first round like he did in the china open

Yeah, three INA players will play qualifying round today and tomorrow -- Dionysius, Pia Zebadiah and Rosaria 'Pipin'. Hard chance for Dion to enter main drawing, there's Chen Hong in his path.

According to the latest news:
MS withdrawal -- Bao Chunlai, Mohd Hafiz Hashim, Kenichi Tago, Sho Sasaki
WS withdrawal -- Lu Lan, Maria Kristin Yulianti, Hirayama Yu

OMG, LL again.... sigh

Pia Bernadet Zebadiah should be in the main draw already, probably replacing Maria Kristin's place, while Hayom and Pipin will have easier routes to main draw after Chen Hong and Jung Soo Young qualify.

oh ya...that the true fact...THE...i mean...THE true fact why they play in hk...:D

Yup, thanks to several players withdrawal...

why they always didn't join the tourney if one of them withdraw???
like china SS n HKG SS now, they both withdraw..
on the other hand, if both of them join, they always fight each other...
it's look like they are really ' jodoh ' ( sorry, i dunno the english...:D:D )
what a shame maria withdraw from here.. i really hope she can lift up her ranking...

OMG, LL again.... sigh
you gotta give the girl some rest;)
she needs some rest..imo

Latest withdrawal:

Ayob and Lee Tsuen Tseng

How about Malaysia and Denmark?

I'm really disappointed that Maria Kristin withdrew, was looking forward to see her back in action....

I would like to see LCW withdrew, as he is already play too much... it's time for him to rest and get prepare for SS final in Kota Kinabalu.

I'm really disappointed that Maria Kristin withdrew, was looking forward to see her back in action....
It is better to take care of it now...she has knew 's problem for a while..it comes and goes...

hopefully Maria will recover fast from her knee injury....really miss her action....

poor maria,,she cant have a closing game of ss this year. get well soon for her =)

Latest withdrawal:

Ayob and Lee Tsuen Tseng
Injury?

I don't understand why BAM emphasizes so much on doubles. Look at the pathetic entries in singles compared to doubles (MD & XD especially).

But LTS and Ayob belong to KLRC, not BAM.

its just the same problem with wong mew choo..
she also have this kind of knee injury problem..
she often struggles with it though:(

But LTS and Ayob belong to KLRC, not BAM.
It does not matter. Whoever in charge is idiotic.....

It does not matter. Whoever in charge is idiotic.....
maybe LTS and Ayob have their personal reason to withdrew from this tournament?..
not necessary the person who is in charge are the one to be blamed..

latest withdrawal: DU Jing/Yu Yang from the womens double category.

George are u sure...what happened to them... is either one of them injured...coz Yu Yang is still playing in XD...

Maybe Du Jing is still not feeling too good. Her movement was not that fluid in French Open, but she still had that huge smash ......

Or it could be tactical LYB ploy, to allow Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei to move up in their rankings.

Should be a straight fight for the finals slot, between the CHN youngters and Vita/Lily.

On the other end, it should be a repeat of the CHN Open Final and French Open semis, Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting vs Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui.

George are u sure...what happened to them... is either one of them injured...coz Yu Yang is still playing in XD...
yes, it had been confirmed...
maybe du jing withdrew..

did LCW withdraw? coz i saw the name in the main draw, and his match was "No Match" against Marc Zwiebler of Germany....

Lee CHong Wei Of Mas Withdrew From This HKSS ..Anyone knwos What Happen?

I would like to see LCW withdrew, as he is already play too much... it's time for him to rest and get prepare for SS final in Kota Kinabalu.

It does not matter. Whoever in charge is idiotic.....

This is the answer. Two malay press also reported that the physio & tourney doc confirmed LCW had muscle cramps during training. Kosmo reported that LCW also had cramps on his leg shortly before the match with Marc Z started, hence had to withdraw.
Maybe Hauge/Badmania can confirm this.

Old knee injury haunts Chong Wei at HK Open
By RAJES PAUL


KUALA LUMPUR: A recurrent knee injury has forced Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei to withdraw from two tournaments.


The world number one conceded a walkover to Germany’s Marc Zwiebler in the first round of the Hong Kong Open yesterday and he would make a quick return home.


Chong Wei has also made up his mind to skip the premier local tournament, the National Grand Prix Finals, scheduled for Dec 9-13 in Alor Star. With the decision, he will skip the chance to go one better on the record of six national titles he shares with his coach and mentor, Misbun Sidek.


Chong Wei, who crashed to yet another tame defeat by Olympic gold medallist Lin Dan in the China Open final in Shanghai last Sunday, said that he did not want to risk aggravating the injury.


“I picked it up during the China Open. It is an old injury but it is not serious. My coach and I felt that it was best that I give this Hong Kong Open a miss,” said Chong Wei in a telephone interview.


Chong Wei’s priority now is the Super Series Masters Finals, which will be held in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.


Despite missing the Hong Kong Open, which is the 12th and final round of the Series this year, Chong Wei is assured of a place in the Finals, which feature the top eight ranked players in the Series standings with a condition that each country can only have two qualifiers. Chong Wei is currently the leader in the standings.


“Our GP Finals are too close to the Masters Finals. I need more time to prepare. I have decided not to play in the GP Finals unless the BAM (Badminton Association of Malaysia) change the championships to a later date,” he said.


Choong Wei said that he would be  wiser in facing Lin Dan after suffering two humiliating defeats to the Chinese superstar, the other being in the final of the Beijing Olympics last August.


“At the Olympics, the pressure got to me. This time, I did not play well. But I have learnt a lot from both defeats. My coach and I will work to come up with better strategy to get the better of Lin Dan,” he said.

wise decision... dont be like WMC that kept playing despite injury... hope datuk could recover before KK final. anyone going to KK next month?:D

lcw withdraw also..

there will be no LD vs LCW again... until Super Series Final on December.
