hmm, time flies so fast.:D
now lets move on to the next day..the final of the hong kong open ss 2008;)
below are my prediction for the final round.

xd- xzb/zyw vs lyd/lhj
although the korean pair have the edge in this match, but i believe that this chinese pair will surely give the olympic champion some hard time there:cool:

ms- chen jin vs lin dan
hmm, will we see another ss win for lin dan or the other way round?:rolleyes::D
anyway, let the master Li decides for sure!:D

ws- xxf vs wang chen
xxf has been doing quite well in this tournament...
i think this final should be totally dominate by xxf...
but wang chen is also a very unpredictable player..
just as she eventually upsets the world number 1, zhou mi in the semi final.:cool:

wd- sc/zyl vs zyw/ztt
this should be a very tight game..both pairs must be knowing each other's game so well...but i believe that the pair of zyw/ztt have the edge..this match outcome also will also have to see zyw physical and mentally are still strong or not in this match and also in order to be next gao ling in making:cool::D:D

md-zakry/faruzizuan vs lyd/jjs
although the odds are highly against the malaysians in this match, i still thinks that the mas duo can still fight for the gold.:cool:
i would love to see this game to 3 sets ..
and also will be waiting to see this 2 malaysian smashing power..this match will be full of smashing sound if we watch the game imo..;)
:D
i would rate this match 40-60

btw, u guys can view the livescores, results and the order of play for tomorrow, here>>

http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=25607&d=20081130

Agree with All prdiction...
but I think Wang Chen will get home crowded supprt...
go wang chen....

here's my prediction

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen (CHN) vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo jung (KOR) : 50%-50%

Chen Jin (CHN) vs Lin Dan (CHN) : 40%-60%

Xie Xingfang (CHN) vs Wang Chen (HKG) : 55%-45%

Cheng Su/Zhao Yunlei (CHN) vs Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting (CHN) : 49%-51%

Mohd.Zakry/Mohd.Faruzizuan (MAS) vs Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung (KOR) : 45%-55%

just a little bit dissapointed that in MD that KKK/TBH lost..
it should be interesting to see them play againts JJS/LYD again

No indonesia representative in the final.. How KKK/TBH lose? They have already beat the olympic champion.. For the final, will LYD get 4 titles in 2 ss? It will be awesome..

hmm, time flies so fast.:D
now lets move on to the next day..the final of the hong kong open ss 2008;)
below are my prediction for the final round.
...
..mouth watering match, George??...:confused::(

Some very close matches on paper, harder to call than one thinks. Eventually winners should be:
MS - LD
WS - XXF
MD - LYD/JJS
WD - ZYW/ZTT
XD - LYD/LHJ

I won't be around for the final so everyone have a good time. :)

Chen and LD had very interesting and tough battle at the OG
I remember the second point of the match was about 1:45 min rally..

I think Chen knows how to play with LD
But.. I suspect LD is also ready for Chen)

No mean to offend but please see the match again carefully =)

No mean to offend but please see the match again carefully =)

what do you mean? wasn't this interesting match?

Now its the Fuzzy pair turn to have a crack against LYD/JJS. Will be interesting to see :)

XD - Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung over Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen - a tougher battle than the one against HHB/YY is expected, but the Olympic Gold pedigree will prevail.

WS - Xie Xingfang over Wang Chen - Even crowd support may not be enough for Wang Chen.

MS - Lin Dan over Chen Jin - No need for Lin Dan to cite "miraculous" injuries as the reason for him to lose All-England, ABC anymore.

WD - Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting over Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei - tactically adept seniors show their juniors a thing or two.

MD - Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae over Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abd Latif - Malaysian pair can only beat them if all their trickshots are working.

I'm gonna miss the finals again, now the wife wants to see our new house .....

Come to think of it, not a bad idea, since I was told the commentator for Astro will be THAT GUY.

Hope Gill Clark will be coming to KK for the finals, hate to see the live telecasts destroyed by terrible commentating. They might as well hire me for the job ...... wakakakaka.

what do you mean? wasn't this interesting match?

I think what he tries to point out is that lately matches have been fixed by China and even LYB admitted that himself. The semifinal match between LD-Chen Jin was played in a moderate pace and despite the duration of the rallies people got an impression of both players werent performing to their maximum. Lowering the pace normally makes you able to keep the shuttle going for longer without getting hit by fatigue.

Lin Dan clearly stood a better chance against LCW/LHI than CJ, why if it was a fixed match would be logical to let him through to the final.

Now its the Fuzzy pair turn to have a crack against LYD/JJS. Will be interesting to see :)
yeah, im hoping for the fuzzy pair to conquer the stadium with all the jump smahshes when smashing during the match:D:p

..mouth watering match, George??...:confused::(
perhaps the md match can be consider a mouth watering match imo:)
anyway, lets wait and enjoy the final:)

hmm, still 45 mins more for the final to begin...
:):D
and to those who are in malaysia, u can catch the final of this hong kong ss 2008 live on astro supersport starting from 1.30 pm:)

While waiting for the matches to start, I'm playing Geo Challenger and eating my brunch at the same time...

All the best to Fuzzy.

XD 1st set, china leading korea 13-9

now 16-9 for XZB/ZYW

xXZB/ZYW took first set

question: why didnt XZB/ZYW played in the 08 OG??

Haha... I saw Sally Yeh on tv just now :D

The OG champions are in deep trouble. Xie/Zhang are looking good for the title, 21-14 11-6.

question: why didnt XZB/ZYW played in the 08 OG??

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time

based on rules..
one country can only send 3 pairs maximum if only the third pair ,in this case (Xie/Zhang) ranking must be on the top 4 (like in MS and WS,CHN can send 3 representatives because there was Lin Dan,Bao,Chen in the top 4 MS,and also XXF,LL,ZN,and ZL in the top 4 WS)...

pity XZB/ZYW ranked 5th at that time before OG,so they did not qualified to play in OG

mean while...CHN pair lead 11-8 in the 2nd game

Xie/Zhang are in great form, 21-14 14-10.

Xie/Zhang are on fire, 21-14 16-11.

now CHN lead 15-11

Xie/Zhang continue their great form, 21-14 17-11.

Big smash by LYD into the body of ZYW 13-17.................

Xie/Zhang are rushing to the finishing line, 21-14 18-13.

everything is good for the chinese...

they lead 18-13
3 more points for the 2nd SS title this year

Great rally in favour of Koreans......14-18..................

Xie/Zhang are on the verge of winning the title, 21-14 19-14.

LYD....no luck....shot long...........14-19................

Oops, servive error by ZYW, 15-19.

Koreans not about to give up.....16-19..................

Wide by XZB, 16-19.

Nice touch by XZB, match for CHN 20-16.

and...XZB/ZYW win it...21-14,21-16 :)

Return into the net by LYD. XZB/ZYW won in straights 21-14 21-16.

gratz to XZB and ZYW :)

Chinese too good this afternoon................21-16............

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time

based on rules..
one country can only send 3 pairs maximum if only the third pair ,in this case (Xie/Zhang) ranking must be on the top 4 (like in MS and WS,CHN can send 3 representatives because there was Lin Dan,Bao,Chen in the top 4 MS,and also XXF,LL,ZN,and ZL in the top 4 WS)...

pity XZB/ZYW ranked 5th at that time before OG,so they did not qualified to play in OG

mean while...CHN pair lead 11-8 in the 2nd gamethx for the explanation. I don't follow XD rankings but i alway see XZB/ZYW as china's #1 or #2 XD pair.

ZYW gave her flowers to Sally Yeh... Haha...

since tony G, candra W were in HK, organizer should repeat the same celebrity short game with sally yeh and another HK star like they did in 2007

I saw Miss Hong Kong 1998 cum TVB actress Heong Hoi Lam.

Chen Jin and Lin Dan on the court right now...

thx for the explanation. I don't follow XD rankings but i alway see XZB/ZYW as china's #1 or #2 XD pair.

i agree..
compared to inconsistent HHB/YY
I prefer XZB/ZYW as the main CHN XD pair
now they already beat the olympic champions and also beat the current World champions & WR number 1 pair twice in a row

mean while

Chen Jin 5
Lin Dan 1

LD making lots of silly errors

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time...

They could have been ranked higher if they were not asked to make way to HHB/YY. In fact, HHB/YY were in the top 4 by, ahem, team order.

Meanwhile, it looks like an exhibition match between LD & CJ.

LD influenced the umpire to call it a "let". :eek:

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen could not make it to the top 4 as they lost in the Badminton Asia Championships to Nova/Butet. That's why they kissed their OG hope goodbye.

i never type this before, LD is getting owned :D

19-9 for CJ

CJ takes 1st set, 21-9

14 smash winner for CJ in the 1st set????

never happen before even to LD

It seemed to be difficult to control the shuttle from Lin's Side at first set......maybe the hall is windy..........And I think CJ knows Lin's Game very well, He's always been blocking him very well...

on what channel r u guys watching, GDTV???? is Shanghai or CCTV Showing too???Please let me know.....

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen could not make it to the top 4 as they lost in the Badminton Asia Championships to Nova/Butet. That's why they kissed their OG hope goodbye.
I was talking about the tourneys before that...

11-5 for LD in 2nd game

on what channel r u guys watching, GDTV???? is Shanghai or CCTV Showing too???Please let me know.....

I think most of us are watching on Astro Ch811, Malaysia's pay tv.

LD is playing much better in 2nd set....playing with much more aggression and urgency....leading 11-5...........

Smash and more smash from LD...14-6...............

LD will eventually prevail. I still remember that LD lost to LCW in the 1st game with the same scorelines last year.

Super Dan on show........15-6.....16-6...............

seems very good for LD in the 2nd game...

leading 18-7

LD....deceptive crosscourt.....17-7.........18-7..........now 19-7..............

LD toying with CJ..........moving him round the court....20-9.................

LD 21-9.....going for rubber set.............

on 2nd set, LD said, i can beat u with the same score,

9-21
21-9

on what channel r u guys watching, GDTV???? is Shanghai or CCTV Showing too???Please let me know.....

...................

seems to me like a match-fixing here.

Amazing pick up by LD......2-0...................

the score is tied at 6-6

seems to me like a match-fixing here.

Don't think so.......looks genuine match to me......the Chinese only fix matches if they have to play opponents from other countries the following day.......

Level 6-6.............

seems to me like a match-fixing here.

yes, it is.
it was fixed to play 3 sets for maximum entertainment for the audience

seems to me like a match-fixing here.

I dont think there was a match fixing here

just see the match,ok? so,u will know...

very tight

LD 11
CJ 10

LD goes into the interval with a scintillating crosscourt smash........11-10.........

Wow.....both players playing like fighting swordsmen......13-13...........

Yeah it looks real...

CJ has a 3 point lead......16-13...........

CJ...amazing from 11-13.......18-13................

Wow.....both players playing like fighting swordsmen......13-13...........

They learnt some kung fu from the Shoulin Masters :D:p

Super Dan with brilliant leaping smash from the baseline..........14-18..............

Time to go a searching the WRs again..... these people all, keep us busy, hehehe

Anyone knows how many WR points will LD and CJ gain from this HK SS?

LD 7800, CJ 9200. Both should go through the Super Series Finals.

LD now at the stands, looking at his GF's match against Wang Chen.

XXF vs WC are ready to begin

XXF starts the game with a serve to the net.

Quick WC errors gives XXF 3 straight pts.

LD 7800, CJ 9200. Both should go through the Super Series Finals.
can u pls briefly explain 2 me how the super series works and the points system and what tournament or open is super series :):):):confused::confused::confused::confused::coo l::cool::cool::cool::cool:

LD 7800, CJ 9200. Both should go through the Super Series Finals.

that is after adjustment !? LCW's points will also be adjusted right? heeh just curious :p.

First WC sideline kill to XXF's backhand.

XXF pressures WC to the backcourt.

WC try to move XXF left and right, ends with crosscourt smash.

But she can't stop making simple errors.

WC fails to do a backhand return, lights glaring, maybe.

XXF change of pace leaves WC standing.

Good sideline pressure from WC, still 1 pt behind.

Easy XXF net kill ala LCW and LD.

Lovely crosscourt smash again from WC. Then XXF sends the shuttle to leave them all square, 9-9

abedeng posts so fast.. like a bullet lol.

XXF 11-9 WC at interval

can u pls briefly explain 2 me how the super series works and the points system and what tournament or open is super series :):):):confused::confused::confused::confused::coo l::cool::cool::cool::cool:
have a good read

http://www.internationalbadminton.org/statues-pdf/WORLD%20RANKING%20SYSTEM_1.pdf

Perfect dropshot from XXF gives her a 2 pt lead at the break.

WC is noticably slow today, even her base position for returning serve is much further back than normal.

oh... i finally saw zhang ning... last week i couldnt see her as there were no coaching staff from semi finals onwards... haha

XXF does a drive from the net to WC's backhand, WC can't even respond.

WC does a crosscourt drop.

This time, WC's sideline smash misses.

TVB Pearl is actually showing the Finals live...not bad....:rolleyes:

WC grimaces as she makes another net error.

Wins the other rally though.

XXF's forehand defence is not holding well, a lot of WC's pts coming from sideline attacks.

have a good read

http://www.internationalbadminton.org/statues-pdf/WORLD%20RANKING%20SYSTEM_1.pdf
:):):):):):):):cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
thx

WC retakes the lead from another sideline attack as her compatrior ZM looks on.

Loose WC return punished by XXF's heavy guns.

Body attack from WC after XXF made the mistake of taking an outbound shuttle.

Zhou Mi watching from the stands!

XXF is not mastering the drift to her backcourt, WC 2 pts up.

Good netplay from XXF, but still 2 pts adrift.

Another service error and WC needs 2 more pts to win.

And 4 gamepts for WC as another sideline attack to XXF's backhand hits home.

Over! 21-16.

Wang Chen has found Xie Xingfang's weakness and kept on pushing her to make the same mistakes. Wang Chen takes the first set 21-16. Xie looks quite disappointed with herself.

LD ponders XXF's loss .....

Amazing that WC could still win although her movement is quite slow today.

XXF takes the shuttle early, 1-1

WC's defenses have improved, 2-1.

TV showing beautiful Zhou Mi one more time.

Wang Chen leads 2-1...........

And another one, 3-2

Perfect return of serve to XXF's backcourt, 3-3.

XXF moves forward quickly for a net kill, 4-3

Cmon Xin Fang.......jia you.....

Yet another shot into the backhand corner, ruled in to Wang Chen's favor. How many of those shots already..hmm...?

XXF not happy with the call.

WC slams the shuttle wide after a great rally.

Power smash to XXF's left......5-5.......................

WC might be slower but her artillery is of the same calibre as XXF's.

WC reacts as her net shot fails to clear the top of the tape.

Again, brilliant stuff from WC forcing XXF to bow very low ....

What a beauty....soft touch close to the net by WC.....7-8..........now level 8-8.......

Again, XXF has problem with measurement of the drift.

Xie Xingfang looked disgusted as another shot landed in at her backhand corner.

Back level again 9-9...............

XXF forcedto take the shuttle back, forcing her error.

The thing with WC that could derail her title chances, is that she makes quite a lot of errors at the net.

2 mistakes by WC............9-11................

XXF finds her crosscourt and baseline range, 13-9

WC's crosscourt smash just out.

XXF forcing WC to the front, flicks the shuttle to the back. 15-9.

Body attack, 16-9

WC hammers a sideline kill to check her slide.

This set should be over....on come the rubber-set.

WC getting confused as XXF turns the pace up a notch.

Great dropshot gives XXF 10 gamepts.

Rubber game beckons, 21-10 for XXF.

LD looks happier now.

wuihh..what a game...

21-16 for WC in the 1st set
and 21-10 for XXF in the 2nd

and we have a rubber game...

Yippy is shown on TV, behind her sits Zhu Lin.

WC kills off the 1st pt when XXF's net dribble hits the tape.

Good start for WC.....2-0..............

XXF had a chance there but failed to make an easy placement at the net, WC 3-0

One of the best rallies.......3-0 to WC................

TVB Pearl is actually showing the Finals live...not bad....:rolleyes:

XXF forced to move all around the court, and WC finishes with a crosscourt drop. 7-3

8-3 as XXF is again forced to the backcourt.

Great pick up by WC...........wooo and ahhhhs from the crowd.....8-3.........

XXF return of serve is loose and heavy cannons fire mercilessly.

Dont sleep Xinfang....wake up.....

Just look at the score 10-3 to WC..............

XXF has her work cut out with a 7 pt deficit at the break. 7 straight pts to WC.

Big lead at the interval....WC 11-3.................

Wang Chen is looking good for the title, 21-16 10-21 12-3...

XXF sending it wide......just wide though......6-13..............

Wang Chen is looking very good for the title, 21-16 10-21 14-6...

XXF is again exposed at her backcourt.

Wang Chen is extending her lead, 21-16 10-21 15-7...

WC.....sending deep into backhand corner again.....15-7........................

XXF doesn't seem to be able to change her backcourt game. Let in a lot of shuttles.

Even now, WC is taking control of the net as well.

XXF is under tremendous pressure.

WC is up 21-16 10-21 17-8...

16-7

seems..no hope for XXF

Is WC going to make history............first HK player to win......18-8................

Another artillery barrage to the sideline, 18-8.

xxf = LD = runnerups

WC will win..............good.....

When LD lost....XXF also must lost.....this is call ' 夫唱婦隨 '...hehehe

2 pts away for WC.....

12 match pts for WC...

Demolition job by WC.....20-8..............

12 matchpts as another clear goes wide.

2 matchpts saved. WC must be patient.

WC wins..........crowd celebrates...........21-10!

WC wins, but in truth, the match is not really of that high quality. A lot of errors from both sides.

Congrats to HK!!!!

Upsets continue..... Who's next?

LD consoles his GF ......

wahh, another upset, busy day this is.........
:p

if upset continue
Zhao / Cheng win and also msia will will in MD :D:D

ok WC finally won it...

i dont know if this is some kind a jinx or what...but if u see..
the runner ups for OG games...such as LCW , Nova/Lilyana , and now XXF has never won the title since OG even they were in the final....

LCW (3 times moved into final since OG---> failed)
Nova/Lili (2 times moved into final ----> failed)
XXF (2 times moved into Final -----> also failed)

if upset continue
Zhao / Cheng win and also msia will will in MD :D:D
:):):):):):):):);););););););)
hope so

Wang Chen had done it for HKG as she demolished Xie Xingfang in the rubber-set, taking it comfortably 21-10. Xie Xingfang appeared distraught and both she and Lin Dan did not win the titles today.

Can Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif make it a perfect day for the underdogs today?

XXF is again exposed at her backcourt.

I lost count of the number of pts Wang Chen won since the first set from Xie's backcourt weakness.

Errrr, according to WR, Zhang Y/Zhao TT are lower ranked than ZHao YL/Cheng Su cos ZY/ZTT are a rather new partnership.

Errrr, according to WR, Zhang Y/Zhao TT are lower ranked than ZHao YL/Cheng Su cos ZY/ZTT are a rather new partnership.

By next year Yawen and Tingting should pass through the youngsters and challeng Du Jing and Yu Yang for top honours.

Even now as the match is playing, it is very easy for Yawen and Tingting to pick up arrays of pts at a time against their compatriots.

By next year Yawen and Tingting should pass through the youngsters and challeng Du Jing and Yu Yang for top honours.

Yup, the seniors just won over the juniors.

Now is our Fuzzy pair's turn to show their mettle. Hope they give a good fight.

Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting overcome the rising pair Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei, 21-14 ; 21-13. Double joy for Yawen as she wins two titles here, Congratz!

By next year Yawen and Tingting should pass through the youngsters and challeng Du Jing and Yu Yang for top honours.
:):):):):) will rtm1 be showing the md final besides astro

Zakry smiles as he missed a net kill.

A little luck of the net cord, MAS get their 1st pt.

Koreans push up speed, and MAS keep making net errors.

now seems like they r the golden WD for china :D

Great wristwork from Zakry opens up the game for the winner.

KOR get the edge when playing steep drives.

Good flick serve from JJS.

Equally good drop shot from Zakry.

go msia ... go msia ~~

Fairuz smash floats out.

Fairuz not finding his range.

JJS tries a trickshot that fails.

Good Fairuz placement of the 3rd shot.

MAS whacks the shuttle to pieces.

JJS drives to Zakry's chest.

Shuttle destruction by Zakry, 14-15.

MAS misses the net exchange on the next rally, 16-14 KOR

He was there... just "lost" that's all :mad:

I have only now connected to internet.. so, as I see a pretty easy win for Chen concerning score..
So as I thought before Chen is accepting LD style in right way.. any way for me it's probably a first LD loss since.. all I have seen so far.. may be since 2005 loss to LCW in that famous match with 7 match points

Have to see this match, its pretty interesting HOW LD is losing, not every day we can see it)

Fuzzy boys still hanging in there down 15-17

Good dropshot from Fairuz, 16-17

LYD stretches but fail to make a clean hit.

14 smash winner for CJ in the 1st set????

never happen before even to LD

yes its looking very strange statistic

go msia go ...~~ upset them n impress us~~ woohoo~~

JJS retakes control, 18-17

KOR push just out.

KOR gets 2 gamepts as MAS hit wide.

KOR dropshot is short, 1st gamept saved.

Perfect drive to the back gets us into deuce.

Zakry misses that dropshot, 3rd gamept to KOR

Saved again by Fairuz singlehandedly.

MAS gain their 1st gamept when LYD loses a drive rally.

MAS had good defence but the last clear was pushed wide.
