:):):)

[jutawin]

Hope Indonesia can take MD title here. as Alvent ever beat JJS/LYD, when he partnered Luluk..
It's time for NW/LN to throw away their mr/mrs RUNNER UP title..
Ayo, KALIAN BISA..

[hansonlouphers]

Korean could take 4 titles here.. ehehehe... if it's real.. what a big :D

[hansonlouphers]

It's time for NW/LN to throw away their mr/mrs RUNNER UP title..
Ayo, KALIAN BISA..

aaaahhh... that's DEEP....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

hope the INA XD pair could revenging NOT rehashing of their OG lost ;);)

[etudiant]

i think Alven/Hendra have slight edge since they're new scratch pair.....and their play style maybe not quite recognizable yet by the koreans.....as for nova/butet, the tittle here will be bright start for this year......

[badadum]

A bit disappointing with how Mel/Shendy getting demolished by the Chinese old guards....
Nova/Butet survives pretty tough match...while MK/HS inability to put the game away finally cost them, as predicted...
Will be interesting to see how Hendra/Alvent goes against the KOR pair. I was against retreading players, but as expected, Sigit Pamungkas knows something more than plain amateurs. :)

[PoLLuX]

Newbie here...

Hope Alvent/Hendra perform well to defeat one of my favorite Badminton Player, Lee Yong Dae

Jia You ^^

[abedeng]

Mixed Doubles Final:
Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung over Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir - the Koreans have shown great spirit by coming from behind to snatch the 2nd game in their semifinal. The World Champs showed better performance in the semifinals but will require herculean effort to upstage the Olympic Champs.

Women's Singles Final:
Zhou Mi over Tine Rasmussen - The World No 1 showed her class when she was continually able to come back from huge deficits to outwit her opponents. Defending champion Tine has not been as confident and consistent, but if she can maintain composure, Tine can gain some leverage.

Men's Singles Final:
Lee Chong Wei over Park Sung Hwan - The defending champ had to survive a difficult battle against a Morten Frost-powered Gade, the fact that he did survive will make LCW stronger. However, Li Mao's new charge was effortless against Hsieh, and has boundless energy levels to sustain the fight.

Women's Doubles Final:
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen over Lee Hyo Jung/Lee Kyung Won - Another battle between World Champs and All-England Champs, replacing the fight that did not happen in the last Olympics. The Koreans have won their last couple of fights before, but the Chinese have better form with possibly more crowd support and some coaching assistance from CTF.

Men's Doubles Final:
Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung over Alvent Yulianto/Hendra Gunawan - Having survived 2 desperate battles back to back, the All-England champs will have had the belief that they could go all the way and win the first title of the new season. Despite them not being in the best form, they are still heads above the new INA combination.

[george@chongwei]

all the best to chong wei tomorrow!!!:):)
iah!:D

[robin7]

Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung over Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir
Zhou Mi over Tine Rasmussen
Lee Chong Wei over Park Sung Hwan
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen over Lee Hyo Jung/Lee Kyung Won
Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung over Alvent Yulianto/Hendra Gunawan
100% agreed with your prediction!

[jutawin]

All the best to INDONESIA players.

[ctjcad]

..abedeng, if you get all 5 of your predictions correct, you'll join the ranks with badMania as the only other member who has correctly predicted all 5 matches in the Finals round..:cool:

[koo_fan]

All the best to Lee Chong Wei.Malaysia Boleh!
JJs/LYd is in my book.they beat kkk/tbh previously and i hope they lost to the greatest pair.

[chris-ccc]

..abedeng, if you get all 5 of your predictions correct, you'll join the ranks with badMania as the only other member who has correctly predicted all 5 matches in the Finals round..:cool:



.
:eek: INA getting no title at the 2009 Malaysia Open SS? :eek:
I should not believe this. :):):)

Let's hope that Alven/Hendra (a non-seeded entry) will win the MD title.
.

[Koi^^]

I hope Yang Wei and Zhang Jie Wen could get this title though i also like the Korean girls

I hope this stretches to 3 sets.

Do the CHN girls get more crowd support just for the fact that ZJW is engaged to CTF??

[abedeng]

Could be because LYB is no longer taking charge and the girls are now freer to mingle, and of course, ZJW's relationship with CTF.

Nova/Lily do have a decent chance to win XD, but they cannot go off the boil suddenly as in previous finals to the detriment of Hauge's health and well-being. Sometimes we felt that their shot-making decisions are flawed.

LHJ is not moving as fast as before since recovering from injury. Definitely not at Olympic Gold form yet. On the other hand, Lily should not get herself trapped to backcourt too often, INA pair often find difficulty rotating back when that happens.

[CLELY]

.
:eek: INA getting no title at the 2009 Malaysia Open SS? :eek:
I should not believe this. :):):)


It's the worst scenario that may happen. I guess XD has bigger chance to win title than MD, we'll see...

[badMania]

Mixed Doubles
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung [2] -- a repeat of the Beijing Oympics Gold Medal match. I think Lee/Lee have an edge, but, Nova/Butet can also spring some surprise if they believe in themselves and play well.

Women' Singles
Zhou Mi [1] vs Tine Rasmussen [2] -- my pick will be on Zhou to win yet another SS title.

Men's Singles
Lee Chong Wei [1] vs Park Sung Hwan [5] -- no doubt about it, LCW to win back-to-back MAS SS title.

Women's Doubles
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen [5] vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung [4] -- the now independent CHN girls to win back-to-back MAS SS title after last year's thriller.

Men's Doubles
Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [2] -- a marvellous effort from the newly formed INA pair to get into the Final in their first attempt, which include the spectacular comeback from the brink of defeat yesterday. This also represents AG's first Final in a SS event. Alvent's experience in beating the KOR pair last year will hopefully help them, but, the KOR still has the edge.

[jutawin]

Hope INDONESIA can get title here..
Prove to us..

[leonardklh]

all the best to lee chong wei and tine rasmussen!!

[abedeng]

Almost 50 minutes before the final battles and the crowd is starting to converge.

Had to park my car quite a bit away despite being early.

A quick bite, and a visit to the loo, and we are good to go.

[abedeng]

Now there's a Mlay dance presentation.

[abedeng]

Nova and Lily just completed their "court inspection" aka warmup.

I am seated alone yet again, anti-establishment that I am. Directly on top of the main TV cameras and THAT GUY. He's doing his own last minute preps..

[abedeng]

A young TPE MD player just won fairplay award.

How do they determine that, I wonder ....

[etudiant]

Now there's a Mlay dance presentation.

keep the live coverage, abedeng, thx

[abedeng]

Hauge moves into position to give better support to INA XD.

[madbad]

Hauge moves into position to give better support to INA XD.

Hopefully it will be in vain :D:D

[Oldhand]

Nova and Lily just completed their "court inspection" aka warmup.

I am seated alone yet again, anti-establishment that I am. Directly on top of the main TV cameras and THAT GUY. He's doing his own last minute preps..
Could you find something especially heavy and drop it on, er, you know.... ? :(

[abedeng]

Both Hauge and THAT GUY arm themselves with 100+ energy drink for the big battle ahead.

[ctjcad]

:eek: INA getting no title at the 2009 Malaysia Open SS? :eek:

...if even badMania has no confidence in any INA pair, then i've got nothing more to add...;)

On we go with the 1st match of the day...

[abedeng]

Unfortunately I am armed lightly with two smartphones, otherwise Oldhand's suggestion is worth exploring.

But I need a team of BC lawyers first.

[abedeng]

Lily missed a sitter.

Loose clears are the order of the day so far.

[abedeng]

LHJ exposed against dropshots.

Still errors dominate the play, scores are close.

[abedeng]

INA hold steady and a 3 pt advantage reward.

[abedeng]

What the doctor ordered, attack LHJ

[abedeng]

Lily forced to the back as I feared.

[Oldhand]

Unfortunately I am armed lightly with two smartphones, otherwise Oldhand's suggestion is worth exploring.

But I need a team of BC lawyers first.
Um, desperate situations call for desperate measures.
Maybe you could simply use yourself as the heavy object :p

[ctjcad]

the crowd seems to be 50-50...good news for phaarix..;)

LHJ seems to be under duress a lot...LYD doing his usual court coverage..

[abedeng]

LHJ confused even though it's her shot.

[abedeng]

LHJ not having a good day.

But Koreans are masters of coming back.

INA force LHJ error for gamept.

[fd16n]

INA wins the first set 21-14 by 15 smash winners:eek: thats sure a lot

[ctjcad]

seems like the INAs are intent on exposing and attacking LHJ..not giving much chance for LYD to make plays..i have a feeling LYD will do more covering for LHJ (as is in most cases) in the 2nd game if things don't change...

[abedeng]

Um, desperate situations call for desperate measures.
Maybe you could simply use yourself as the heavy object :p

Attempting suicide is out of the question.

Great rally with LYD putting Lily and then Nova out of position.

[abedeng]

INA cheerleading captain just arrived, he's late.

[ctjcad]

wonderful cross court drop by LYD from the back, right to left...LYD, giving LHJ a couple of pep talk and a wink..

[Oldhand]

Attempting suicide is out of the question.
Come on, abedeng... after all, it's for a worthy cause :p

[abedeng]

Excellent crosscourt net from LHJ

[abedeng]

Koreans have one pt lead at the break but LHJ's backhand defence is wanting.

[extremenanopowe]

Koreans seems to be playing second fiddle. Hope they can win half of it. Mens doubles is a good candidate. ;) All the best guys. Go Go Go. A good Chinese New Year Ang Pow for LCW.

[abedeng]

Come on, abedeng... after all, it's for a worthy cause :p

That's the same excuse given by suicide bombers, others brand them terrorists.

Lily delicate drop, nice.

[extremenanopowe]

Next week if LD goes china, he'll have nightmare in line calls again. hehe ;)

[ctjcad]

sweet backhand cross court net drop from LHJ, from left to right sends Lilyana sprawling..KORs still making errors...let's see what LYD can do to turn the tide..

[abedeng]

Lily muffs easy reply.

Nova good placement, LHJ failed to reach it.

[abedeng]

INA break away as KOR get confused.

[abedeng]

INA sideline attack gives matchpt.

[ctjcad]

Nova made a nice crosscourt return sending LHJ diving to no avail...INAs in control and KORs making more errors...KORs definitely not sharp today...Hau-ge must be jumping up & down..;)

[bennydut]

Yeah... INA Winnnn.....

[abedeng]

Hauge jumps from his seat, relieved that LHJ missed that net kill.

Congrats to Lily and Nova.

[ctjcad]

so lihaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiii, what a trick shot performed by Sundae Lee.....:cool:
LHJ doomed the pair......into the net...definitely not sharp today....

[fd16n]

First title of Super series 2009 goes to Indonesia. Hope it will be first of many in this year

[eaglehelang]

Well, Well, Nova/Lilyana finally shake off the runner up tag to win a SS title, what better than beating the OG gold medalist. Congrats!

Too bad, I lost my PAW.:cool:

[abedeng]

Yup, Nova/Lily did win, but both they and Hauge need to calm down at critical pts.

[etudiant]

Good job, Nova-Lily, ur definitely still the best......

[ctjcad]

LYD doesn't look too happy during the prize presentation...abedeng, can you tell Hau-ge to say "Cheeeeze" to Nova & Lilyana....:p

[Oldhand]

Lee Yong Dae was probably conserving energy for the bigger fight ahead :p

[abedeng]

Now a few gentlemen have joined me, bringing with them those noisy implements. So much for peace and tranquility.

[abedeng]

LYD doesn't look too happy during the prize presentation...abedeng, can you tell Hau-ge to say "Cheeeeze" to Nova & Lilyana....:p

No, I told Hauge not to jump from the seat, the seat is fragile ..... Wakakakaka.

[extremenanopowe]

The battle of the tall ladies. ;)

[narnia]

Lee Yong Dae was probably conserving energy for the bigger fight ahead :p

Agreed. But today and yesterday, Widianto looked in very good shape and KOR failed to take leadership on the net.

[abedeng]

Frontcourt play will favour Tine, she's so tall.

Hauge just replied that he can't help displacing stadium seats, too intense.

[abedeng]

Tine looks sharper today, but ZM is accurate on the sidelines.

[ctjcad]

Tine moving well & reading the shots, so far...has Hau-ge moved back to the reg. stand??..

[abedeng]

Tine's power is too much for even ZM.

Players complaining about flash photography.

[nunu27]

YESSS!!!
Noly still the best!!!
they prove wrong most of BCers... hahahaha....:):):):):):)

[abedeng]

2 ZM errors give Tine 4 pt lead at the interval.

[nellute]

Tine is fast today. How to break her ryhthem ?

[abedeng]

Good buildup but Tine's sideline attack is just out.

[nellute]

Forehand smash from Tine to Mi's back hand is lethal.

[abedeng]

Wicked wrist from Tine, shuttle gliding croscourt nicely out of reach.

ZM should stop giving high shuttles to Tine.

[ctjcad]

is Zhou Mi conserving energy?? she seems to execute more clear, net and drop shots..Tine, on the other hand, is blasting the shuttles away at every opportunity...

[etudiant]

Lee Yong Dae was probably conserving energy for the bigger fight ahead :p

and so does Lee Hyo Jung

[abedeng]

ZM's not dictating as usual, maybe today is the day of the underdogs.

[abedeng]

The only thing that's keeping this close is Tine's errors during attack. But she gets 3 gamepts.

[abedeng]

Hauge off to talk to Alvent and Hendra AG, who just came in.

[nellute]

Do you people think Tine is a girl ?

The way she plays / moves ...

[ctjcad]

wow, what a crosscourt & deep over-the-head clear by Tine to end the 1st game, which landed in, after ZM guessed it was going out....i hope Tine has enough energy in the 2nd game...ZM was slow out of the gate...

[abedeng]

ZM has a good start this time, 3 Tine errors.

[abedeng]

Tine forced back and forth that time.

[hiltonmoreira9]

Agreed. But today and yesterday, Widianto looked in very good shape and KOR failed to take leadership on the net.

I guess both Widianto and Natsir were very determined to win. they always lose on almost all of their final appereances in 2008 (Asian Championship, All England, Olympic 2008, China Masters, and Super Series Finals) so I guess this time they said: IT IS NOW OR NEVER. and they win! thank God..

about LYD saving his energy, well I heard one comment from Vision1 Sports (Indonesia broadcaster)when she reviewed the match and her co-commentator asked why it was a very short match.
she said that maybe Lee Yong Dae was saving his energy because Yong Dae's MD opponent is an unseeded pair and might be easy for yong dae and jae sung to win, but the commentator then said, "Oh gak bisa enak aja masa kayak begitu!"

it was a funny comment I think :D

[narnia]

Do you people think Tine is a girl ?

The way she plays / moves ...

Yea... look what she's wearing.... :D

[ctjcad]

is there a draft over the court, abedeng??...if so, in which direction is the draft going??..

[narnia]

ZM looks very tired in this final making many errors.

[abedeng]

Tine's not happy with the sideline drift to her right.

[Oldhand]

The first game loss could work on Zhou Mi.
Zhou now looks like she is on a Mi(ssion).

[Oldhand]

Tine's not happy with the sideline drift to her right.
She shouldn't be complaining at all.
She had the benefit of it in the first game.

[Oldhand]

[...]but the commentator then said, "Oh gak bisa enak aja masa kayak begitu!"

it was a funny comment I think :D
Many of us wouldn't know if it's funny because you didn't translate it ;)

[abedeng]

is there a draft over the court, abedeng??...if so, in which direction is the draft going??..

Drift is to the right side and towards the far end of the court where ZM is.

[nellute]

Yea... look what she's wearing.... :D

What ?

I am watching video streaming, not very clear.

[abedeng]

Tine had to take her backhand shots at an awkward angle, due to the drift perhaps. By the time she hits it, the shuttle got closer to her body.

[nellute]

ZM has caught Tine's back many times. But no clear advantage from that.

[ctjcad]

Drift is to the right side and towards the far end of the court where ZM is.
..okay...

The INA commentator basically said "Oh, no way, that can't be the reason"...

[abedeng]

Morten Frost asking Tine to concentrate.

[abedeng]

With that many errors, the game is out of Tine's reach.

[ctjcad]

Tine is unraveling now, shots not as tight and sharp and definitely less pounding of the shuttles...ZM about to close 2nd game and force a rubber game..

[abedeng]

Tine missed the shuttle totally to hand over the 2nd game to ZM.

[yd0911]

Go Zhou Mi! What makes Zhou Mi so great after she doesn't defend China?

[abedeng]

That line call was suspiciously in.

[Emma Watson]

Oh..Y yeong dae lose in final????:eek::eek::eek:
I thought he can win two champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha...:p:p:p

[SibugiChai]

Oh..Y yeong dae lose in final????:eek::eek::eek:
I thought he can win two champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha...:p:p:p

his time is over, he should retire soon

[nellute]

Tine hits out a number of shots. She does not need to be so demanding on the sidelines.

[abedeng]

Tine is slowing down, maybe used too much gas in the 1st game.

Needs better concentration.

ZM forgot the drift is on the other side, not her side.

[Emma Watson]

u all knw each other de??

[yd0911]

It's really sad that Yong-dae and Hyo-jung cannot win MAS Open 2009. :crying::crying::crying: NW and LN must want revenge today. :mad:

[abedeng]

ZM hits towards the drift and TR regain lead.

[yd0911]

his time is over, he should retire soon
Hey, Yong-dae is still young. I'm optimistic he can win with Jung Jae-sung today. :)

[Emma Watson]

can i ask a question...
any one here have kkk msn website????

[nellute]

Go Zhou Mi! What makes Zhou Mi so great after she doesn't defend China?

Humiliation when kicked out by LYB

[abedeng]

Good mental discipline from Tine, helped by ZM's misjudgement of the drift, no doubt.

[SibugiChai]

Hey, Yong-dae is still young. I'm optimistic he can win with Jung Jae-sung today. :)

no point playing with Jung Jae Sung... Yong dae should change partner. :cool:

[yd0911]

It's Zhou Mi 8-11 Tine Rasmussen

[yd0911]

can i ask a question...
any one here have kkk msn website????

I only know his blog, but so out-of-date. :cool: It's www.myfeatherlite.blogspot.com (http://www.myfeatherlite.blogspot.com).

[SibugiChai]

Kookienkiat@msn.com

[Emma Watson]

Hey, Yong-dae is still young. I'm optimistic he can win with Jung Jae-sung today. :)


ya..i strongly agree..LYD sure win ..in mandouble..with uncle Jung..:D:D:D:D

[abedeng]

Spoke too soon, Tine catches the drift disease.

That last rally was nice, no clear attacking opportunity.

[abedeng]

Morten Frost clenches both his fists after that rally.

[yd0911]

no point playing with Jung Jae Sung... Yong dae should change partner. :cool:
Well, I like Yong-dae better to play with Lee Jae-jin or Hwang Ji-man. Jung Jae-sung is too short :o

[Emma Watson]

I only know his blog, but so out-of-date. :cool: It's www.myfeatherlite.blogspot.com. (http://www.myfeatherlite.blogspot.com.)


thank you very much!!:cool::cool:

Kookienkiat@msn.com
If I send to that msn, will Kien KK reply me? :D

[yd0911]

Zhou Mi 13-15 Tine Rasmussen. Come on, Zhou Mi!

[abedeng]

Exquisite dropshot from Tine to maintain 2 pt gap.

Wasted by that wild clear .....

[yd0911]

thank you very much!!:cool::cool:
I have opened it, but there's only one post. It has many comments though.

[abedeng]

Tine opens 3 pts gap and reach critical pt range.

[SibugiChai]

If I send to that msn, will Kien KK reply me? :D

depends if you send your own pictures or some models pics? :cool:

[yd0911]

Oh, maybe Tine can win. It's 18-15! :(

[abedeng]

As long as she holds frontcourt advantage, Tine can take this.

[nellute]

ZM is tired... She is leaving some shots.

[yd0911]

depends if you send your own pictures or some models pics? :cool:
Does he have any time to respond to fans? Have you ever sent him a message and he answered you? :confused:

[SibugiChai]

I have opened it, but there's only one post. It has many comments though.

KKK hasnt read it since 2007...

to many bashing of him.. in 2007

maybe he will continue after 2009, good start! :p

[ctjcad]

caught a glimpse of a surprised Ah Tan and another young fellow as they saw their faces on the big screen...saw Fairuz?? (w/red t-shirt) with his gf (wearing specs) chatting...okay, Tine about to close this one out....ZM just looks a bit defensive in today's match....

[yd0911]

Tine wins 21-17,15-21, and 21-16. what's next?

[SibugiChai]

Does he have any time to respond to fans? Have you ever sent him a message and he answered you? :confused:

I dont send him msg, i call him up... :D

[abedeng]

Frost jumps ala Hauge as Tine wins it. She embraces him and her BF.

[SibugiChai]

[SibugiChai]

aiya..she only tall..and have strenght like a cow?!!

I have seen her in Bikini, since then I support her 100% :D

[yd0911]

Now it's Lee Chong Wei versus Park Sung-hwan. I want Park win, so Lee's rank will go down.

[Emma Watson]

come come come..LCW vs PSH..who will win ni???
is it LCW only can be runner up???like the game before??
haha..

[SibugiChai]

Now it's Lee Chong Wei versus Park Sung-hwan. I want Park win, so Lee's rank will go down.

that's quite impossible, unless Lee Chong Wei has bet himself to lose! :D

[ctjcad]

Datuk Lee is on court now, all beaming in an all yellow attire....PSH struts in & looks like either he just woke up or is upset as if someone just stole his new Gucci bag....btw, he's beaming in a white top w/blue chevrons and blue short....

[Emma Watson]

I have seen her in Bikini, since then I support her 100% :D

yer..so coulor!!!!!!!!:cool::cool:

[abedeng]

Intense cheerleading choreography has started.

[SibugiChai]

Datuk Lee is on court now, all beaming in an all yellow attire....PSH struts in & looks like either he just woke up or is upset as if someone just stole his new Gucci bag....btw, he's beaming in a white top w/blue chevrons and blue short....

It seems like PSH is ready to go home blue! :p

[ctjcad]

M'sian flags, big and small, adorn the upper seating stand....Chong Wei signboard flashes along with the happy M'sian supporters....all balloon clappers clapping in unison.....here we go..

[abedeng]

Park took a shuttle going out, only to gift a short clear.

[SibugiChai]

PSH is korea no1, if he beat msia no1...

msia open next year, we dont invite korean anymore!

[Emma Watson]

PSH is korea no1, if he beat msia no1...

msia open next year, we dont invite korean anymore!

wow..u invite thm de???:D:D:D

[abedeng]

Park put under pressure early.

A small band of Korean supporters below and to my left at VIP area.

[ctjcad]

am i seeing PSH fashioning an earring??...and it's no tiny one.....PSH displaying some flashes of deft defense, but Datuk Lee finishes it off...Datuk Lee is as focused as he was during the SS Masters Final...

[yd0911]

Without indulgent Misbun beside him, Lee might lose. :rolleyes: But it's 7-4 now! :mad:

[Emma Watson]

LCW always wear yellow coulor de...
wear black coulor shirt ma..like tbh..hhaahaha..

[abedeng]

Maybe Park should try more overheads instead of backhand. Once forced to backhand, he is in trouble. 11-6 LCW

[ctjcad]

saw Roslin on the big screen..Park seems to be conserving his attacks, defensive so far...Li Mao is seen barking and giving all kinds of gestures to PSH, all in Korean, of course...;)

[Emma Watson]

misbun there!!!!

[SibugiChai]

Maybe Park should try more overheads instead of backhand. Once forced to backhand, he is in trouble. 11-6 LCW

PSH isnt fast enough to do an overhead...

He is crazy!

[yd0911]

I want to ask a question. Can you tell me what Lee Yong-dae's msn?

[Emma Watson]

li mao look so serious..
i scare him>>>>>>>

[SibugiChai]

saw Roslin on the big screen..Park seems to be conserving his attacks, defensive so far...Li Mao is seen barking and giving all kinds of gestures to PSH, all in Korean, of course...;)

maybe all these barking is making PSH losing focus! :eek:

[abedeng]

Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen on their way to warm up session.

LCW sideline smash is very accurate, but he's a bit fanciful at the net.

[samuel882]

caught a glimpse of a surprised Ah Tan and another young fellow as they saw their faces on the big screen...saw Fairuz?? (w/red t-shirt) with his gf (wearing specs) chatting...okay, Tine about to close this one out....ZM just looks a bit defensive in today's match....
the Young fellow is Lim Khim Wah, ah wah's best buddy ;)

[SibugiChai]

I want to ask a question. Can you tell me what Lee Yong-dae's msn?

[Emma Watson]

PSH still need time to practise la..

[abedeng]

Misbun gets a point across to LCW as Park creeps close.

[yd0911]

misbun there!!!!
IS IT TRUE? :eek: Isn't misbun in the hospital?

[SibugiChai]

PSH still need time to practise la..

He should ask for timeout to pratice... not challenging the impossible Datuk Lee!

[yd0911]

lee young dae dont have MSN, he hardly can speak english! :cool:
What about Wong Choong Hann? Does he have msn?

[SibugiChai]

[abedeng]

Well constructed but not well finished by LCW.

[SibugiChai]

[abedeng]

LCW leaves the shuttle at the last second to take game 1.

Park needs to match his speed or slow LCW down.

[SibugiChai]

Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen on their way to warm up session.

LCW sideline smash is very accurate, but he's a bit fanciful at the net.

Do they need to? I think they will spend more time warming up than playing the korean!

[Emma Watson]

[SibugiChai]

LCW leaves the shuttle at the last second to take game 1.

Park needs to match his speed or slow LCW down.

a better way would be hitting Datuk Lee's eye and Walk over!

[ctjcad]

Park's "touch" game is not there...he needs to focus on LCW's backhand side...and make quick pushes to LCW's rear forehand corner...

[Emma Watson]

[SibugiChai]

What if his lungs get worse? :D

[Emma Watson]

[SibugiChai]

Park's "soft" game is not there...he needs to focus on LCW's backhand side...and make quick pushes to LCW's rear forehand corner...

Park is losing badly on the net, that's why he can dedicated his pace

[abedeng]

Park lifted short and LCW pounced.

Thn LCW won on defensive clear that forced Park's loose return.

PSH can't seem to change the tempo and dictate his shots..

[abedeng]

LCW forced to duck under Park's fierce drive.

Lee always leads the match. :crying: Now it's 16-11:mad::(:mad: I think it will be hard for Park to beat Lee today. :(

[abedeng]

Park took the bait at the net pretty often.

LCW on matchpt.

[ctjcad]

...
but only KKK speak good english, other english 9-level
..are you sure about that??..Tan Chun Seang can speak pretty decent English mah (yes, i spoke to him before)...

Datuk Lee is stamping his feet now. PSH is not responding, throwing the white flag...But looking more and more upset...

The only shots, i saw, that were effective for PSH consisted of those steep cross court drop shots and a few smashes...Other than that, LCW was able to read all of his shots like braille...

[yd0911]

NOOOOOOOO! CHONG WEI LEE wins :mad:! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: I blame that lazy-for-competing Lin Dan if he cannot be the number one in the world again!

[abedeng]

As usual LCW hugs his coach and says hi to his old coach Li Mao.

[Emma Watson]

yes... why? they all usually hang out at mont kiara

[yd0911]

As usual LCW hugs his coach and says hi to his old coach Li Mao.
I know he'll do that! Chong Wei is so pampered by Misbun:mad:. I hate to see that hug. Why just don't he hug his girlfriend? :D

[Emma Watson]

Hahaha, SibugiChai, you're very hilarious today :D:D:D.
LCW vs Misbun, pity Misbun lah, wait until the other Datuk recover from lung infection 1st :p

[yd0911]

China's Zhang/Yang vs. Korean Lee HJ/Lee KW match will soon start.

[Emma Watson]

ei..i saw CTF c his girl friend!!haha..so sweet...

[eaglehelang]

Opps, GD Sports Commentator said that Yang Wei told them yesterday her leg injury is acting up.

[ctjcad]

(Soon to be) Makcik Zhang Jiewen and Yang Wei is up, dressed with red tops and dark/white stripes shorts.....LHJ and LKW roll in, in all dark w/a splash of white outfits....All four ignoring the new clothing rule & going the traditional rule wearing shorts..

[abedeng]

Hmm, two opening serves from KOR are both short.

[Emma Watson]

so easy 1st mark..

[abedeng]

ZJW undecided on that rally but still managed to win it.

[abedeng]

No memorable rallies yet, I will fall to sleep if this match doesn't transform to the same quality as the CHN pair's match against Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui.

[ctjcad]

have the supporters left the building??..seems like half the stadium has emptied out...
Sometimes i wonder how in the world does LKW execute those clears and smashes, without jumping & basically standing behind a much taller LHJ..

No memorable rallies yet, I will fall to sleep if this match doesn't transform to the same quality as the CHN pair's match against Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui.
..you should yell out "Can we have some rallies, please, cos i'm about to fall asleep here"...:cool:

[simonlovers]

Interesting Match...

Anyone know about Head-to-head record of this Pair??

[abedeng]

Ants just walked by, seated behind Choong Tan Fook..

[Emma Watson]

yor..china lose le..

[abedeng]

Too many cheap pts from CHN pair. Cost them the game.

Just returned home to Badminton Central to read our posts. Not many posts though; probably most Malaysians BCers are at the stadium cheering and doing their flash photography now. Thanks to those who have made reports, especially the many from abedeng.

Great to find Hauge jumping up & down when Lily/Nova won. :D:D:D
Tall and powerful underdog, Tine defeating ZM wass a pleasant surprise.
LCW, who just won, appeared to be not extended at all.
.

[ctjcad]

i think abedeng has fallen asleep........no more posts from him....http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif

[abedeng]

LKW's shouts are mimicked by the crowd.

Hauge is here with me now.

[chris-ccc]

Hauge is here with me now.

:D:D:D Just wait for Hauge to jump up & down when Alvent and Hendra play.

[ctjcad]

LKW's shouts are mimicked by the crowd.

Hauge is here with me now.
..that everyone, incl. our Hau-ge, is getting bored to near death....;)

Rackets clash!!! But still intact!!.....Seems like the CHN's pair's smashes have lost their sting...On the other hand, KORs are making unforced errors...

[abedeng]

Now the rallies get more interesting and CHN return to form.

[abedeng]

LHJ sweeps across the net to level the score.

[chris-ccc]

.
abedeng ... Please post some scores. Live score's stuck. :(

[dropshot]

Deceptive drop shot

Towel break
Lee 11 Park 6

[abedeng]

10 straight pts gave KOR matchpt.

[ctjcad]

it's basically over...ZJW & YW making more errors & can hardly move now...

[abedeng]

KOR girls won 21-12 in 2nd game. A change of tactics brought them 10 straight pts.
