[abedeng]

That was a great rally between defence and attack.

[badMania]

According to our Korean resident expert here, Jung/Lee like to toy the opponents for 2 sets before going for the home run in the rubber-set. Let's see if they can take the second set.

[Tjun Tjun]

hello asian people !

Big welcome to the world of badminton!

[Oldhand]

The Koreans are playing defensive badminton.
This is what lost them the first game against the young Danes at the China Open :rolleyes:

[extremenanopowe]

Lee Yong Dae seems to have a hard time

At the break, Malaysia has every reason to be happy :)

[Oldhand]

According to our Korean resident expert here, Jung/Lee like to toy the opponents for 2 sets before going for the home run in the rubber-set. Let's see if they can take the second set.

[carine]

[pauline]

LYD hits a lot of net today...
Congrats, KKK/TBH!!!

[badMania]

Congrats to Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong as they win the Super Series Masters title. They deserve it after beating Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan in the Group Stage and now Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in the Final.

Hmm....I thought someone said that Jung/Lee have dominance over the INA, MAS, and CHN opponents?

[phaarix]

21-18 21-14
Malaysia took the last 3 points in a row

I thought it was last 5 :).

Wow, return of Koo/Tan?

[SibugiChai]

Congrats to Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong as they win the Super Series Masters title. They deserve it after beating Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan in the Group Stage and now Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in the Final.

Hmm....I thought someone said that Jung/Lee have dominance over the INA, MAS, and CHN opponents?

I think most top pair standard isnt that far apart...

0nly form of that day determine their win:D

[jasonmarc]

Congratulation,...KKK/TBH.....good game strategy......well exercuted........this is the pair we know in 2006 and early 2007..........they are back,....I hope.....

[kungfukid]

please, do you have a streaming link for this turnment ?
dl sopcast:):):):)

[Tjun Tjun]

US$42,000.00 to KKK/TBH. Well done!

[Han]

Malaysia deployed a right strategy playing flat drive against the Koreans who are known for their power smashes. The switching between KKK/TBH from back to front also were very effective when attacking. On the other side, LYD made lots of errors, quite uncharacteristic.
Congratulation to KKK/TBH !

[robin7]

Congratulations to KKK/TBH. They finally manage to win a major title this year.
Yeah. It has been a tough year for them and this win will certainly boost the confidence. The best Christmas gift for them.

[cooler]

i see JJS is the weakest player on the court today
LYD did alot of covering for him.

kkk/tbh did play very well today. They kept the pressure on from start to end, unlike their old trait where they seem to poop out after then first set.

[ecce69]

dl sopcast:):):):)
thx a lot for your help

[narnia]

Koo/Tan showed great performance today. They have improved a lot with their concentration kept to the end. Congrat. to their Final Win.

[ctjcad]

It's simple. A lot of errors by the KOR pair, esp. by Sundae Lee, very uncharacteristic. Congratz to KKK & TBH for winning their first SS title after a really long drought...
Should be interesting to read what Pemuda & narnia have to say, abt KKK and the KOR pair, respectively...:p

[abedeng]

Nicole Grether takes pix of her WD partner interviewing Koo/Tan

[Tjun Tjun]

So funny to see TBH speak English for the 1st time.......better to get him to speak in hockkein!

[kungfukid]

thx a lot for your help
derien:):):):):)

[abedeng]

It's simple. A lot of errors by the KOR pair, esp. by Sundae Lee, very uncharacteristic. Congratz to KKK & TBH for winning their first SS title after a really long drought...
Should be interesting to read what Pemuda & narnia have to say, abt KKK and the KOR pair, respectively...:p

Agreed, Korean kungfu was much better last night against Kido/Setiawan

[jasonmarc]

Dont praise them tooooooo much.......ahem...

[Tjun Tjun]

WD players coming into the court now.....Malaysia in yellow, Indonesia in black.

[jasonmarc]

Agreed, Korean kungfu was much better last night against Kido/Setiawan

Maybe too much seafood last night.......:eek:

or too tired after beaten MK/HS..................;)

[kungfukid]

congrats to kkk/tbh!!!
hope this title marks you return to the best as all the fans expecting...

[ctjcad]

....btw, is Hau-ge back, ready to go for another possible cardiac arrest episode??:p :p

[jnce00]

next is WD. If WPT/CEH wins, MAS can have a triple rejoice.

[Jessica]

So funny to see TBH speak English for the 1st time.......better to get him to speak in hockkein!
Well..At least a good try by TBH..Anyway,KKK spoke English well..I am really happy for them..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[narnia]

It's simple. A lot of errors by the KOR pair, esp. by Sundae Lee, very uncharacteristic. Congratz to KKK & TBH for winning their first SS title after a really long drought...
Should be interesting to read what Pemuda & narnia have to say, abt KKK and the KOR pair, respectively...:p

Congrats again Koo/Tan. Today, they showed how they have improved especially in their mentality along with some strategical changes in their skills. They mixed weak and strong strokes quite properly like the KOR team has used it and they kept their concentrations very well and calm to the ending point. Quite different from the past performance. Great! On the contrary, KOR team was quite in a rush while LYD was stuck in the back in the 2nd game that's unusual with him. :)

[Tjun Tjun]

CEH/WPT complete the story today.......................CEH/WPT, jia you!

[Oldhand]

Has a tomboyish crop become the defining hairstyle in women's badminton? :eek:
For instance, all four now on court have the same look.
It was the same earlier with Zhou Mi and Wang Chen.

[Jessica]

Dont praise them tooooooo much.......ahem...
Haiya..Jason,Happy mar..They did played well..:p:p

[jasonmarc]

CEH/WPT complete the story today.......................CEH/WPT, jia you!

Its an up hill task.......but possible.......hopefully.......

So far,....no ambulance needed.......Jessica seems still fine.....Helang still going strong.........and Kak Ayu....no more shivering.........:D:D and every one is happy now......and ever.....:p

[Tjun Tjun]

Well..At least a good try by TBH..Anyway,KKK spoke English well..I am really happy for them..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

It is very easy for me to say here, if I appear on TV I will not know what to say.......:):):)

Meanwhile it is 2-2.............

[eaglehelang]

Tan Boon Heong appears to have gained a lot of confidence :)
WOW, a compliment from Oldhand for this pair, wahhh, seldom got, :p:p


I need more oxygen....please.....naiting biting close.....win to MAS in 1st set.......
Better prepare the ambulance , our WD is playing now.


According to our Korean resident expert here, Jung/Lee like to toy the opponents for 2 sets before going for the home run in the rubber-set. Let's see if they can take the second set.
LOL, LOL, LOL

[Tjun Tjun]

What a drop shot by CEH......5-5..............

[aulia]

Haizz.... last hope for Ina bring title....

Come on ViLy!!!!!! :):)

[Tjun Tjun]

No need ambulance for the time being, Eaglehelang. Mas in the lead 8-6.............

[eaglehelang]

It seems more like jazonmarc will need the ambulance :p:p

[Oldhand]

Is it just me... or doesn't Woing Pei Tty look a lot like Xia Xuanze? :p

[aulia]

Haizz.... last hope for Ina bring title....

Come on ViLy!!!!!! :):)

[sweetlover]

at last my lovely kkk n tbh win the match...:)
even sweeter 21-18 , 21-14 againts lyd n jjs...

WELL DONE KKK N TBH...:)

[Oldhand]

WOW, a compliment from Oldhand for this pair, wahhh, seldom got, :p:p

Not true, not true!
Play well... and I'll be a fan ;)

[Tjun Tjun]

Commentators counting money for Mas....US124,000 in total................

[ctjcad]

Congrats again Koo/Tan. Today, they showed how they have improved especially in their mentality along with some strategical changes in their skills. They mixed weak and strong strokes quite properly like the KOR team has used it and they kept their concentrations very well and calm to the ending point. Quite different from the past performance. Great! On the contrary, KOR team was quite in a rush while LYD was stuck in the back in the 2nd game that's unusual with him. :)
...(from what i saw) was to put or force LYD at the back and make JJS as the playmaker (at the front). Compound that with LYD's countless unforced errors and you've got them by the hook...

[Tjun Tjun]

Mas increases the lead....19-13................

[narnia]

...to put or force LYD at the back and make JJS as the playmaker (at the front). Compound that with LYD's countless unforced errors and you've got them by the hook...

Yes, that's the best strategy to beat JJS/LYD. And that's the way the Danes did in the Olympics against KOR. :)

[robin7]

6 game pts for MAS.....

[SibugiChai]

...(from what i see) was to put or force LYD at the back and make JJS as the playmaker (at the front). Compound that with LYD's countless unforced errors and you've got them by the hook...

The way I see it...

LYD was so keen to get infront thus making lotta mistake from the back. Instead of trying to play good from the back, he was trying to get infront.

[robin7]

Yes... CEH/WPT won the 1st game 21-15...

[jnce00]

WOOT!!!WPT/CEH won the 1st set!

[Tjun Tjun]

Great defence by Ina but brilliant return by CEH.......21-15...........

[abedeng]

Great final rally and defense from Chin, Malaysian girls win 21-15

[jasonmarc]

GD sport....stop.....where to watch...beside RTM1....pls..

[Tjun Tjun]

2nd set about to start............

[Tjun Tjun]

WPT rushing to the front to put it away....1-1..............

[narnia]

The way I see it...

LYD was so keen to get infront thus making lotta mistake from the back. Instead of trying to play good from the back, he was trying to get infront.

Now it's time that JJS/LYD have to enhance their strategies. Like this way, the badminton world keeps evolving dynamically. :)

[Tjun Tjun]

WPT driving the shuttle down the middle,,,,,3-2...........

[abedeng]

Vita is not match fit. Fasdrop is disappointed.

[Jessica]

Is it just me... or doesn't Woing Pei Tty look a lot like Xia Xuanze? :p
LOL...This comment make me faint...:D:D:DOMG..Xia Xuan Ze,lets me see observe carefully..:rolleyes:

[narnia]

Congrats again Koo/Tan. Today, they showed how they have improved especially in their mentality along with some strategical changes in their skills. They mixed weak and strong strokes quite properly like the KOR team has used it and they kept their concentrations very well and calm to the ending point. Quite different from the past performance. Great! On the contrary, KOR team was quite in a rush while LYD was stuck in the back in the 2nd game that's unusual with him.
Anyway, the result came true as I expected yesterday in another thread. :)

[Tjun Tjun]

Mas gifts 3 points away 6-6.................

[SibugiChai]

Now it's time that JJS/LYD have to enhance their strategies. Like this way, the badminton world keeps evolving dynamically. :)

I think all tops pair standard are not far apart... stragety, mental and condition on that day play a big role.

TBH/KKK use to look invincible when they won All England and slowly opponent start to crack them into pieces...

CHANGE... is inevitable...

Stay constant... you gonna left behind!

[abedeng]

Chin ia not so match fit either, but better than yesterday I think.

[Tjun Tjun]

WPT controlling the front court....10-7...............

[robin7]

MAS is 11-9 up..... 10 pts away..... :p

[narnia]

I think all tops pair standard are not far apart... stragety, mental and condition on that day play a big role.

TBH/KKK use to look invincible when they won All England and slowly opponent start to crack them into pieces...

CHANGE... is inevitable...

Stay constant... you gonna left behind!

Right, for a long time, TBH/KKK was stuck in their styles not corrected and improved a lot. Today, they showed something different. They looked they now know a little of the true joy of badminton. They looked enjoying playing even when they were losing... :)

[Tjun Tjun]

Chin ia not so match fit either, but better than yesterday I think.

CEH is playing so much better today.......:):):)

[ctjcad]

GD sport....stop.....where to watch...beside RTM1....pls..
..it died on me, too...now showing FUTBOL!!!..:mad: :crying::(

[SibugiChai]

Chin ia not so match fit either, but better than yesterday I think.

I heard wong also not match fit!:D

[badMania]

Vita Marissa has looked lack-lustre since the HKG Open. She badly need a rest period. Skip the MAS and KOR Open and concentrate on the All-England! She has nothing to lose anyway with Mohd Rijal as a new partner in XD.

[abedeng]

Excellent net play that leaves Wong sprawling

[Tjun Tjun]

Vita gives another poor service.......11-12.......

[jasonmarc]

I heard wong also not match fit!:D

CEH....knee also injured.........:p

[lin_xingfang]

Even I'm late..but Congratulations for KKK/TBH for winning the title here...

really..I'm happy for them,too ...despite i'm a CHN fan

as CHN team's absence in this SS Final...
I only support for Koo/Tan,one of my favourite MD pair...
the trophy they've just got here is just so sweet for them as they grabbed it by beating MK/HS in group stage and JJS/LYD in the final

Congratz too for LCW..
and most likely...MAS will get one more title here in WD as Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui took the 1st set and now they lead 13-11 in the 2nd game

today..all MAS representatives are on fire....

[Tjun Tjun]

Brilliant rally but CEH puts it wide in the end................13-12..........

[robin7]

Loooooooonnnnnnnnng rally won by INA... MAS 13-12...

[Nievk8701]

[Tjun Tjun]

WPT attacking the middle.....14-14............

[Nievk8701]

wow.... im amazed!!

[Tjun Tjun]

Amazing CEH/WPT........what an achievement.........22-20......US42,0000 reward!

[abedeng]

MAS girls did another escape act tonight, to win the title 21-15, 22-20.

[badMania]

Time and again, the INA pair wasted a 5-pts lead at 19-14 and one game pt at 20-19 to let the MAS pair take the title home. 3 titles for MAS today.

[bayanbaru]

Yes, Malaysia Boleh!!!!!!

[Tjun Tjun]

Year ending party for all Malaysians:

LCW, KKK/TBH, CEH/WPT......US$124,000.00

[jason_tiger]

[lin_xingfang]

i feel pity for INA especially Butet..
not such a good day for her and also Indonesia...

NOTE : hari yang jelek kaya nya hari ni buat Indonesia

[jasonmarc]

Butet still earned US40,000 despite lost all her matches......a rich girl...

[jasonmarc]

Mas never have it so good......3 champions in a tournament...........

Yes...plus the ASEAN University Games....swept all 7 golds.....what a way to end 2008.....for badminton.......well done..:D:D

[robin7]

A happy day for Malaysia camp, winning 3 titles, all in straight sets. Amazing....

[Tjun Tjun]

CEH/WPT not bad in the interview........WPT says she has money to spend for Chninese New year........."Kong Hee Fatt Choy" says John Burgess!

[lin_xingfang]

this year..

SS closed in Malaysia and will be open next year,also in Malaysia...

[lin_xingfang]

CEH/WPT not bad in the interview........WPT says she has money to spend for Chninese New year........."Kong Hee Fatt Choy" says John Burgess!

yeah..Chinese new year will be held at Januari 26th..
heheheh really...CHN new year is indeed a very happy moment for all chinese in the world...
no wonder she's happy to get that money cause she will get more money (BACA : Angpau) again in that day...:D

[Tjun Tjun]

Yes...plus the ASEAN University Games....swept all 7 golds.....what a way to end 2008.....for badminton.......well done..:D:D

I'm so happy for the MAS women players....they don't always get equal treatment as the men in terms of local media recognition, funding and overseas exposure.....they have to fight so hard to be recognised...........bravo to WPT/CEH........go, go, go..............:):):)

[sysoh]

Mas never have it so good......3 champions in a tournament...........
You are right as MAS was traditionally weak in women's event in the past before the rise of WMC and CEH/WPT. MAS is on the right path to have 5 strong representatives in all the 5 events. The immediate task is to close the 2-tier players' gap with LCW to prevent "musim kering" before it is too late.

[jon_91]

MAS have made history...winning 3 titles in SS....so happy especially kkk/tbh beat jjs/lyd

[SibugiChai]

Msia only got a certain future with MD not the other four events...

if LCW gone.... nobody is capable to take up

[limsy]

IF Butet Lost this games, we've got BCers to blame.
They used her rackets for the friendly BCers match this morning :p

now...who is the bcer tat use her racket???argh...


LD must be cursing.... damn... I want the prize money... ;)

he earn more than tat...


Few bad line calls. Close ones. ;)


Yup...There are few bad calls indeed..All close one..:rolleyes:.Now the game seem more interesting..

yes...i do agree...abit biased...


Lee Yong-Dae has been quite unlucky with his smashes.
He has caught the net four time now!


The Koreans made 9 errors in the first game
That doesn't help in any way!


LYD is making too many errors today...


Malaysia deployed a right strategy playing flat drive against the Koreans who are known for their power smashes. The switching between KKK/TBH from back to front also were very effective when attacking. On the other side, LYD made lots of errors, quite uncharacteristic.
Congratulation to KKK/TBH !


Koo/Tan showed great performance today. They have improved a lot with their concentration kept to the end. Congrat. to their Final Win.


Agreed, Korean kungfu was much better last night against Kido/Setiawan

well,lee yong dae is the reason why korea lost the match...still...credit to koo/tan...if lyd play koo/tan like he play mk/hs...i think mas will lost...;)...

[Tjun Tjun]

Coming to think of it, it is not easy for John Burgess to speak for 4.5 hours....wonder how many bottles of water he has consumed whole afternoon...........

[CLELY]

haiz..... sad... sad....:(:(

but ya.... congrats for all winner today...:)

Yeah, INA XD and WD failed to grab success here, hope they will do better at first SS next year... Malaysia shuttlers are so superb today, big win for the host in first ever SS Masters Final, Congratz!

[robin7]

Coming to think of it, it is not easy for John Burgess to speak for 4.5 hours....wonder how many bottles of water he has consumed whole afternoon...........
Luckily (for us), he has Charmaine Reid to accompany him.

Anyway, a big applause for both of them too.

[ctjcad]

Congrats to all the winners and participants. Thank you for coming to the SS Masters Finals. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year. See you guys, again, next year/next month.

[sysoh]

Msia only got a certain future with MD not the other four events...

if LCW gone.... nobody is capable to take up
Agree. It depends on how BAM plans it strategically or else tradition will still remain as tradition.

[limsy]

Mas never have it so good......3 champions in a tournament...........

[badMania]

Butet still earned US40,000 despite lost all her matches......a rich girl...

Errr..nope....its US$20k for Liliyana Natsir.

[hansonlouphers]

Errr..nope....its US$20k for Liliyana Natsir.

[eRa@에라]

earlier in XD...in the decider,they lead 20-17 ,but...They cannot take it and LOST!!!
now...in WD...they has a big chance to make it into rubber game as they lead 19-14 in the 2nd game,but They still....can not MAINTAIN IT !!!

i feel pity for INA especially Butet..
not such a good day for her and also Indonesia...

NOTE : hari yang jelek kaya nya hari ni buat Indonesia

I think it should be yesterday AND today... :D:D:D:D and yesterday was a total massacre for the IND MS...

Anyway, congrats to all the winners and the Bcers here and in KK... thanks cos making the four days tournament a hot spot even without the China team. Perhaps we dont really need China participation at all to enjoy a spectacular match ups... :D:D:p:D:D hope we can all gather together for next month game! :D:D

p/s: yes, I am fully satisfed... until next time:D:D

Errr..nope....its US$20k for Liliyana Natsir.

Yes...U R right....US 10k for each runners-up.....thats US 20K....:eek::p

[abedeng]

For both. This is the first time that I actually saw Nova play better than Lily.

Those were unfortunate 3 matchpts, she will be having sleepless nights, knowing that she could have been USD 11000 richer. Such is life.

Rexy will be happy as malaysia MD & WD win..

[nicole_tvxq]

But I'm disappointed for the results...
I hope Natsir Liliyana to win both Mixed Doubles and Womens Doubles but...
Mixed Doubles was really CLOSE...
But unluckily...
Womens Doubles was the last..
I'm sure she was extremely exhausted since she had played 10 rounds in only 4 days!!
but she is so cool!!
I love her when she smiles,
so cute!!

yeaa.. just SO CLOSE. although it was not my game. i just feeling errr.... omg!! :(:(:(:(:( she lost the game in DEUCE!!! :eek: :( and get no chance of WD to going rubber because DEUCE too. maybe INA players should making a review of their performance during SS this years.

on newspaper, WPT said, Butet is such a powerful player. she could make it into 2 finals. and playing in both. WPT also said, that MAS players win in stamina over the INA in Final. :)

which 'aunties' are u referring to??:D

[george@chongwei]

Koo/Tan showed great performance today. They have improved a lot with their concentration kept to the end. Congrat. to their Final Win.
yes, congratulations for their win!:)
really happy for them and im sure all the mas fans will be more happy with mas bags 3 titles here;)

Congrats to Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong as they win the Super Series Masters title. They deserve it after beating Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan in the Group Stage and now Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in the Final.

Hmm....I thought someone said that Jung/Lee have dominance over the INA, MAS, and CHN opponents?
hmm..yes..thats right:D
from what i sees from the match yesterday, tan boon heong reads so well lyd games today..its so unbelievable for me:pkorea looks like they are under pressure..but to be honest, lyd makes too much errors today..there could be 2 possibilities for it:D
1. must be eat too much seafood courtesy of extreme power treat:p
2. they must be too much under pressure as i stated earlier, if MAS pair smash, the crowd will IAH! so wildly and i think this makes lyd kan chiong and makes mistake:D:D

Congrats again Koo/Tan. Today, they showed how they have improved especially in their mentality along with some strategical changes in their skills. They mixed weak and strong strokes quite properly like the KOR team has used it and they kept their conceQuite different from the past perntrations very well and calm to the ending point. formance. Great! On the contrary, KOR team was quite in a rush while LYD was stuck in the back in the 2nd game that's unusual with him. :)
i wonder what happen to lyd yesterday??:confused:
but to be honest, i will be glad to see the replay again of KKK sitting on the floor retrieving the shuttle 3 times ..hehe..this is unbelievable move by KKK once again..we seldom see him did that again, since last year:o i think

Its an up hill task.......but possible.......hopefully.......

So far,....no ambulance needed.......Jessica seems still fine.....Helang still going strong.........and Kak Ayu....no more shivering.........:D:D and every one is happy now......and ever.....:p
what about me??:rolleyes::p:p

According to our Korean resident expert here, Jung/Lee like to toy the opponents for 2 sets before going for the home run in the rubber-set. Let's see if they can take the second set.
haha..mas pairs are full of confidence yesterday..they manage to play their games quite well and i can see by their body language they are not under pressure like the koreans after all..
anyway, congrats to kkk/tbh for winning this md title:cool:

Not true, not true!
Play well... and I'll be a fan ;)
act well as a fan, and they will be playing nicely;)

Yes, that's the best strategy to beat JJS/LYD. And that's the way the Danes did in the Olympics against KOR. :)
i guess yesterday koo/tan strategy works very well.even without rexy in KK :D.and i think they should apply this kind of strategy when vs the koreans once again..:)

Is it just me... or doesn't Woing Pei Tty look a lot like Xia Xuanze? :p
its just you i believe:rolleyes:

Congrats to all the winners and participants. Thank you for coming to the SS Masters Finals. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year. See you guys, again, next year/next month.
yes, see u guys next month, next year again..
and hope that mas badminton will be more improve by next year:)
Merry christmas and hapy new year to all!!:):)
hooray!
time to celebrate:D
