Korea Open 2009: Day 2 (Round 1) Wednesday January 14

In the Mens Singles, we find some big contingents of teammates, namely;
7 from MAS
6 from KOR
5 from IND

A interesting match to follow could be:
Kenichi Tago [JPN] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [INA].

Good Luck to all participants.
.

.
In the Womens Singles, a good match to follow could be:
Pia Zebadiah Bernadet [INA] vs Lydia Cheah [MAS]
.

Men's Singles
Kuan Beng Hong vs Simon Santoso [8] -- with Sony Dwi Kuncoro's withdrawal due to injury, Simon should make use of this chance to progress to at least SF round.

Kenichi Tago vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono -- likewise for Andre, he has a golden opportunity to reach the QF if he can beat Tago and the Indian player.

Men's Doubles
Chung Eui Seok/Kim Dae Yun vs Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra -- AG/Alvent should start their Korean SS campaign with another victory.

Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan vs Zolzaya Munkhbaatar/Enkhbat Olonbayar -- should be a breeze for Bona/Ahsan.

Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie vs Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak -- it's another learning experience for Edo/Lingga against one of the most experienced European pair. It will be a bonus if they can beat the Polish pair.

Women's Singles
Pia Bernadet Zebadiah vs Lydia Cheah Li Ya -- a 50-50 match, with the MAS having a slight edge.

Mixed Doubles
Han Sang Hoon/Ha Jung Eun vs Flandy Limpele/Anastasia Ruskikh -- a bad draw for Flandy and his new Russian partner. The Korean to take this one.;

All the best to INDONESIA players..

.
In the Womens Singles, a good match to follow could be:
Pia Zebadiah Bernadet [INA] vs Lydia Cheah [MAS]

if there are more than 3 survive...will be great acheivement...:rolleyes:

.
Agree. If more than 3 MAS Mens Singles can survive Round 1, MAS should be happy. Many MAS fans will be cheering for Kuan Beng Hong when he plays against Simon Santosa (8) . But as [I]badMania said, Simon is expected to make it to at least the SF round.

In the Womens Singles, many MAS fans will be cheering for Julia Wong (against Aditi Mutatkar [IND]) and Lydia Cheah (against Pia Zebadiah Bernadet [INA]). By the way, because of smaller entries and a few withdrawals, the following 7 WS have already made it to Round 2, namely;
Zhou Mi (1) [HKG]
Tine Rasmussen (2) [DEN]
Wang Chen (3) [HKG]
Pi Hongyan (4) [FRA]
Saina Nehwal (5) [IND]
Adrianti Firdasari [INA]
Bae Seung Hee [KOR]

.
Agree ... IMHO, SS's chance of winning is much greater than KBH's.

Let's face it. If KBH wins, Tsunami will hit Indonesia. Unfortunately, Tsunami hits only once in a hundred years.

Well, I like KBH much more after he left BAM and joined KLRC. It's fortunate that some Malaysian players have a second lease of life after the national team.

Let's face it. If KBH wins, Tsunami will hit Indonesia. Unfortunately, Tsunami hits only once in a hundred years.



.
Well, as we know, KBH will be advised by LCW on how to beat SS. So, it won't be the tsunami, but LCW.
.

Let's face it. If KBH wins, Tsunami will hit Indonesia. Unfortunately, Tsunami hits only once in a hundred years.

That's really uncalled for....:rolleyes:

In the Womens Singles, a good match to follow could be:
Pia Zebadiah Bernadet [INA] vs Lydia Cheah [MAS]
I'm quite sure Julia will win over Aditi but not confident about Lydia against Pia!!

For MS, I hope MAS can have 3 reps in the next round!

.
So sorry for KOR... In the first 6 matches today, 4 KOR XD pairs have been bundled out.
.

That's really uncalled for....:rolleyes:

Just saying it the way I see it even though it sounds harsh.;)

What happen to LCW? Hong pick up 5 points in a roll.

Pia Bernadet Zebadiah secures her ticket to another R16 appearance, after beating Lydia Cheah Li Ya 21-9, 21-16. She will face an uphill task against Tine Rasmussen tomorrow.

Pia Zebadiah advances to second round, beat Lydia Cheah 21-9 ; 21-16.

Arif latif won first set. 21-14

Andre wins second game, 21-18. Come on Andre!

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono manages to force rubber-set, after taking the second set 21-18.

Mohd Arif Abdul Latif defeats Anand Pawar, 21-14 ; 21-15.

3 Malaysian MS advance to the second round. Par for the course, although Tan CS is a disappointment so far. Good for the other two juniors. The other seniors crashed, some expected against tough opponents (KBH), some letdowns (Sairul) and some don't-really-care (HH).

Both Chong Wei's went through, Lee and Feng.

5 straight pts for Andre at 6-5 to make it 11-5 at the interval of the decider.

OMG, Anup wasted 4 match pts! Sad for PAW-ers!

Wan Ho SHON http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/KOR.gif - http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/CAN.gif Bobby MILROY : 21-12 19-21 21-17

Sairul should have won in straights! Sad for MAS fans but good for PAW-ers!

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono is through to the next round after a 3-set victory over Kenich Tago: 14-21, 21-18, 21-18. His next opponent will be Mohd Arif Abdul Latif.

Yes! Andre K.Tedjono cruises into second round, eliminates Japanese Kenichi Tago with 14-21 ; 21-18 and 21-18.

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto have taken the first set 21-15.

What the heck are CTF/LWW doing, leading 19-10 to 19-18? Phew luckily won 21-18!!

As expected, Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto took care of their Korean opponents with a straght-set victory: 21-15, 21-19. Their next opponent is a biggie...Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah. Expect lots of fireworks.

Meanwhile, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan take the first set 21-7.

hendra AG/Alvent Yulianto wins over KOR pair 21-15, 21-19

SOme msian youngsters is not used to the cold weather there. Legs very stiff from the freezing environment.

Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan record their first victory in a few months as they demolish the unknown pair 21-7, 21-3 in just 13 mins. Tomorrow's match will be tough...against Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda or Rasmus Bonde/Mikkel Delbo Larsen.

SOme msian youngsters is not used to the cold weather there. Legs very stiff from the freezing environment.

You should have up-to-the-minute massage as a sponsor to warm the legs!:D

and now,,edo/lingga vs mateusiak/logosz

c'mon guy's..give some fighting..

and peter gade wins his match!:)


And stares down at a possible interface with LCW ! :eek:

3 Malaysian MS advance to the second round. Par for the course, although Tan CS is a disappointment so far. Good for the other two juniors. The other seniors crashed, some expected against tough opponents (KBH), some letdowns (Sairul) and some don't-really-care (HH).

Both Chong Wei's went through, Lee and Feng.

TCS is still bothered by his ankle injury, it seems.
KBH had to retire in his match vs PSH last week, due ot thigh injury, so, didnt expect him to win against Simon today.

You should have up-to-the-minute massage as a sponsor to warm the legs!:D

Hahaha... too bad their legs froze once the massage treatment is over. :)

Hahaha... too bad their legs froze once the massage treatment is over. :)


Maybe we should invest in some light technology R&D to find something that they can wrap around their legs to keep warm when playing - make ourselves millions.:)

Hahaha... too bad their legs froze once the massage treatment is over. :)

Ants,...U r in Korea now........how cold is in Seoul now...?

Once again, Edo/Lingga let slip of a glorious chance to take the first set at 18-13.

....and a game pt at 21-20. The Polish pair ended up taking the first set 23-21.

No matter how many pts u are leading, the most important thing is to keep the lead. Now, for the nth times, Edo/Lingga lost the lead.

gan jiong means what??? seldom see malaysian fans use this word

gan jiong mean nervous in cantonese...;)

SOme msian youngsters is not used to the cold weather there. Legs very stiff from the freezing environment.

No chance for Edo/Lingga. They were leading 18-13 in the first set and then 10-3 in the second set, only to see those leads evaporate. Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak take the match in straight-sets: 23-21, 21-13.

He's a promising man who can be post-LYD. :)

ya...i saw his match...but...nid more experience...;)

Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen took care of the Korean no 2 pair Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong comfortably in straight-sets 21-10, 21-14. They should be meeting Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in a thrilling SF on Saturday.

So far so good for INDONESIA players..

No many upsets today lah, my bro, less work for you. :D

So,...Helang have found some one to take over now.......good....:D

It's limsy who started doing 1st, the rest of us are ehem..... assistants or fillers.:p

Let's face it. If KBH wins, Tsunami will hit Indonesia. Unfortunately, Tsunami hits only once in a hundred years.

That's really uncalled for....:rolleyes:

Luckily he didn't use the 9/11 Attack as an analogy. :rolleyes:

You have quite a bad taste of joke, Mr/s X Ball.

Looks like Park will have another chance for revenge against LCW. Another good ang pow for LCW. ;)

No many upsets today lah, my bro, less work for you. :D

cheh...i search every match one(if not comfirm)...hehe...not like some bird...:p
