Lee Yong Dae / Jung Jae Sung not defending their All-England title in 2009

South Korea served up a surprise for the 2009 All-England in Birmingham from March 3-8 by not listing their men’s doubles defending champions Lee Yong Dae / Jung Jae Sung as a pair for the tournament.

Only the young hotshot Yong Dae will be at Birmingham to play in two events.

He will forge a scratch partnership with Shin Baek Cheol in the men’s doubles and team up with his Beijing Olympic Games gold medalist partner Lee Hyo Jung in the mixed doubles.

Owh..then, i can still watch his face in xd team.Lucky me.:D
It'll be easier for me to give full support to kkk/tbh.

yep, this news had been expected earlier;)

It will be a total silly for some one who think this korean pair withdrawal would make way for MAS pair for the chance of AE title this year...

I would say that the pair of Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan would be most likely to win this 2009 All-England Mens Doubles title.

As much I like to believe you, I think you could be wrong. Also, when I think how KKK-TBH are improving, I think you might be wrong. As they say : two wrongs don't make one right.:D So you are wrong ! It is definitely KKK-TBH !

I hope the Malaysians will take full advantage of it. But they have to be careful with the Danes as well.

MK/HS have been very inconsistent lately.
i think the danes will be no pushovers, should be interesting.
won't CY/FHF be playing as well?

Yeah, we'll never know ... CY/FHF, now ranked 8th, would still have a chance to win.
.

i'm curious to see the results of their secret training.
i hope they don't disappoint.

Disappoint you???

Don't be surprised that their fastest shuttlecock smash could be increased by another 10 kph at AE 2009.

This could very well be the year of a new Danish dominance in MD :cool:
Watch this space!

At the last SS, 2009 Korea Open, Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen defeated Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung.

However, I believe that this Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol combination shouldn't be underrated.

..there goes narnia's favorite word, again : dominance.;)

But, yeah, barring any injuries to the pairing of Boe & Mogensen, we should see them continue their rise this yr, along with the other formidable MD pairings.

and they should back on top of the world rank again!! since jae sung/yong dae are going to lose at least 9100 points for their absence in AE 2009 to defend their title..... am i correct?

If we are talking about which pair could win the 2009 All-England Mens Doubles, and not their World Rankings, then yes, I believe that Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan would be most likely to win it.

KKK-TBH are improving? i think they're just returning to their top form after a stint of poor form, not really 'improving' as such. results can't really be based on one or two tourneys. although not ruling them out as a likely chance.

I would have to say kido and setiawan would have to be favored. FHF & CY have also had their stint at the top so will probably do well but not make it all the way.

In rally point system on any given day two evenly matched pairs, results can go either way.

Hope to see Lin Dan win the singles this time though if he's playing :)

That'll highly depends on Kido's condition. If his knee hasn't recovered, I'm afraid they'll have slim chances for AE title... :o

Kido/Setiawan has bright prospect to win it and on paper former All England winners like Cai/Fu (2005), KKK/TBH (2007) and Danish pairs will become their main obstacles to grab MD title this time.

LYD + anyone is more than a match for anyone. Better not underestimate him + new partner

Lee Yong Dae + Jung Jae Sung,of course would be better than Lee Yong Dae + anyone.

But since Mathias Boe & Carsten Mogensen are better than Lee Yong-Dae & Jung Jae-Sung, a new Korean combination simply wouldn't be good enough to prevail at the All England 2009 :cool:

So u are implying that the Danes are MORE DOMINANT than the Korean pair ;)?

his partner will be hwang ji man;)

and more surprise me was PSH also will not participate in the european tournaments..
going for a 4 weeks military camp;)

his partner will be hwang ji man;)
No....
LYD + Shin Baek Cheol
Hwang Ji Man + Han Sang Hoon

No....

Hwang Ji Man + Han Sang Hoon
oh, i see..thanks for the correction..
my bad:(

That's a strong statement that I fear our resident Korean fan here will probably disagree with since he's all along saying that the Korean pair is the MOST DOMINANT PAIR in the world right now, courtesy of their (soon to be slipping) no 1 ranking and the head-to-head stats thingy :D

Looks like badmania got infected with the dominating-yet-dominated via H-2-H virus too... :p

Crap! Now that I've thought of it, anyone visited that "Road to WR #1" thread got infected as well.:p

Lee Yong Dae + Jung Jae Sung,of course would be better than Lee Yong Dae + anyone.

Dont be too sure, CHo is rather good but is now partnering Yoo ;).

As for AE, we shall see what CHina's Fu/Cai has in store after all the month's training.

Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong are now experimented with Kwon Yi Goo/Ko Sung Hyun in the upcoming tourneys to find the best possible combination perhaps?

Hwang Ji Man + Han Sang Hoon

Hwang Ji Man will be partnering back his old partner Han Sang Hoon. If I recalled correctly, this pair lost to Luluk/Alvent in the Thomas Cup 2006. This pair was then split up for Hwang to be with Lee Jae Jin; and Han to focus in XD (with Lee Hyo Jung at one time).

LYD and Shin Baek Cheol will be seeded 6 ahead of Cai Yun/FHF in AE..just look at the entry list or M/Q

Hope it's chance for MK/HS to win AE title..

I support Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong ;)

Randomly based on my observation on their performance lately.
JJS,with his ex-partner,Lee jae Jin are not a trash either.
So,it's justified to call these players as flexible.
And LYD is also good for "Eye Candy":D:D

And LYD is also good for "Eye Candy":D:D
nice to look at but cant play well....?
:D:p:D:p

whether LYD+JJS are in or not, every pair has their chance to win the AE. ;)

I guess i even have Pemuda to agree with me on this.
He played very well la.Read the 'dominance' theory by narnia.

plus mine too....KKK/TBH JIAYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1111
Have visited any thread on kkk/tbh in ae,jon?

Look for a surprise guys, i think the danes will get the doubles title this year, although i do want KKK/TBH to win ! Its going to be exciting to watch !

yep, watch out for the danes too of course;)

Hope it's chance for MK/HS to win AE title..



.
We will inform in this thread for BCers who do not know...

The current World No.2 pair, MK/HS, will also join LYD/JJS to not play at the All-England 2009. This is because MK quits his National team (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65806MK) and HS is left without a partner. All this happened just 2 days ago.

DEN and MAS will now have a good chance to win the 2009 AE Mens Doubles title.

Hope I get to see LYD play. He is amazing for such a young player.

:D:D:D Hahaha ... OK, we shall inform in this post to correct post#49, for BCers who do not know...

That the mentioned thread of MK quits his National team (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65806MK) is now renamed as The Adventures of Markis Kido (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65806) (it is the same thread).

This is because MK and his siblings are back with Pelatnas. They have finally signed their contracts, just 1 day after their refusal to do so, and informing everyone that they will quit their National Team.

News are breaking fast here at BC. :):):)

Both Oldhand and badadum are not wrong.

On Saturday 21-Feb-2009, Kido said he won't be going to the All England as his left knee still hurts.
For more news: click here (http://old.thejakartapost.com/detailsports.asp?fileid=20090223.W01&irec=0)

So, as Oldhand said "Watch this space!" :):):)
.

I don't feel bad about their not defending their AE title because I don't like Jung Jae Sung. Yong Dae can win it with Hyo Jung or Baek Choel.

.
LYD/SBC made it to the Finals of the 2009 German Open.

Judging from how they've arrived at there, they could possibly take the German Open MD title.

Therefore, even without JJS, LYD should be able to perform well, partnering SBC, at the All-England next week.
.

hehe...all the best for them in ae...hope they reach final...

hehe...all the best for them in ae...hope they reach final...
Let the another finalist be Malaysians.
Good to see both kkk and lyd on court.

I was watching the AE 2009 Finals MD video, and listening to the commentary Clark (i forgot her name) but she noted that Jung Jae-sung has gone off to military service and that is why Lee Yong Dae has forced to play with another partner. Can someone confirm this?

Notice that they're still BWF WR #1.

Right as he failed to get medal in the last Olympics. But JJS will serve it by playing badminton at Sports Squad of KOR Army. He's now receiving 4-week training. After this training, for the national games he will play representing his affiliate while for the international games, he will continue to play with LYD at least until 2010 Asian Games.

JJS/LYD might show up again in April's ABC which is to be held in Suwon Korea. If CHN enjoyed the military-style camp training, JJS has been getting through REAL military training. LOL.

Hope this helps. :)

maybe not this thursday;)

Yeah, they're going to lose the points they acquired from the titles of 2008 AE and Swiss Open.

================================================== ========
KOREA - Park and Jung to miss European Tour
The Badminton Korea Association issued a news release today confirming that Jung Jae Sung's military service, which commenced today, would keep him from participating in the German, Swiss, and All England Opens. Jung will be reunited with partner Lee Yong Dae to defend their Badminton Asia Championship title in April at home in Suwon, Korea. Lee is expected to continue to play in Europe, however, with partner Lee Hyo Jung in the mixed doubles.

In a surprising addition to the statement, the release mentioned Park Sung Hwan was to begin four weeks of military training on the same day. Men in Korea are normally required to perform 26 months of military service but many athletes have received exemptions based on exceptional performances, including Olympic medals or Asian Games gold. Jung, who turned 26 last year, had achieved bronze and silver in the Asian Games and had missed out on the medals in Beijing and had to start within the year. For the next two years, he will play badminton domestically for the military team, known as Sangmu, and will be permitted to train and attend tournaments with the national team, thus continuing his partnership with Lee Yong Dae.

No details are given in the release about the nature of military service in the case of Park Sung Hwan, who was not facing a deadline like Jung. However, the only active players who have earned exemptions are Hwang Ji Man and Lee Yong Dae.
