[george@chongwei]

wow, tough draw for MAS in the qualifying round.
in ms- looks tough for KBH though as he is to play anup sridhar of india in the 1st round, if he wins that match, he will be most probably fight for his main draw place with his teamate, CWF or tommy sugiarto of ina;)
all the best to him:)

in ws- lydia should be able to overcome linda zechiri of bulgaria.
then, i think she will most probably facing thailand's porntip:D to advance to the main draw:) its quite tough though.

in md- razif/chan face a tough 1st round clash with thai pair of sudket and songphon.
anyway, anything can happen and all the best to them.

wd dont have any malaysians in the qualifying round.

meanwhile in xd- wpt/faruzizuan will be up agaisnt the top seed in the Qualifying round from denmark they should be able to beat this pair..then they should be able to overcome most probably the korea pair to advance to the main draw.
mas chances to advance to the main draw seems bright as they will be up agaisnt unknown opponent.

[george@chongwei]

lee chong wei opens his campaign in this AE with a shwodown with lu yi of china..1st great wall of china to break;)lcw wil 1st testing their power of the 3 months military camp:D then, he might face a tougher 2nd round opponent, most probably BP of thailand.

anyway, all the best to him.

wow, SS of INA will be playing agaisnt PG in the 1st round..this should be an exciting match.

meanwhile, TH wil be playing agaisnt the taiwananese giant killer, HHY;) in the 1st round.

It will be an exciting pair to watch

[george@chongwei]

[jljy91]

[jljy91]

another match of pi hong yan vs saina in the first round...

[jljy91]

a clearer draw is here...
http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draws.aspx?id=27417

[jljy91]

not very bad draw for mas player in md....

[jljy91]

very tough draw for wong/chin in wd...
Q4,PP/TQ,ZHANG/ZHAO,DU/YU...to enter final...

[jljy91]

Zheng Bo/Ma Jin vs Xu Chen/Zhao Yun Lei in the first round...xd

[jljy91]

lcw,sony,peter gade and taufik are on the same half...

[jljy91]

wow...lin dan will face bcl in 2nd round...
probably wch in quaterfinal...and chen jin in semifinal...

[phaarix]

I'm a little upset that Taufik and Peter could meet in the QF... But at the same time kind of happy, because the earlier it is, the more chance they will play each other :). And I always enjoy their matches. BCL and Lin Dan second round?? Seems like madness. But then I haven't seen Bao for quite some time...

Looks like it's set up to be a very interesting All England this year. And with no Olympics to qualify for, the finals should be a lot more interesting whichever way it goes :D.

[Noridayu]

All the best to Malaysian players. I will always there for you.

[jljy91]

lcw will face sony in quaterfinal...peter or taufik in semifinal...

[jljy91]

tough for julia...ella in first round...
hwang hye youn or xu huaiwen in 2nd round...
saina or pi hong yan in quaterfinal...

***************

[CLELY]

First round hard test for Maria Kristin as she will challenge Wang Yihan. Meanwhile Firda and Pia will face big obstacle at second round, Xie Xingfang and Lu Lan respectively.

[etudiant]

really...really bad draw for ina in all five disciplines....couldnt hope for any worse than this....

[otaclub]

i dont think the draw for INA player is bad..i think whatever the draw is, the have to be ready to face big obstacle as early as round 1 so if they can overcome it, the do will have big confidence to face next round...let cheer them...just can't wait to watch AE...so exciting seeing the draw

[jutawin]

All the best to INDONESIA players..

[koo_fan]

Read comments about - "Tough draw for Malaysia".
Wish them luck.All they got to do is to play their best.I asked nothing more.
So, chaiyo!Chaiyo!Malaysia Always Boleh!

[Destricto_Ense]

Whew, that lineup means that I'll hopefully get to see Taufik vs Peter Gade!

[huangkwokhau]

Rian/Yoke has a chance to beat Fuzzy pair as well as Joko/Candra against KKK/TBH...I have a feeling that Candra/Joko is stronger pair than Candra/Luluk....go INA!!

[huangkwokhau]

Whew, that lineup means that I'll hopefully get to see Taufik vs Peter Gade!
Simon beat Gade before..so I hope Simon can repeat it...go INA!!:D

[Jagdpanther]

really...really bad draw for ina in all five disciplines....couldnt hope for any worse than this....
The tougher it is, the bigger the joy if we win! ;)

Come on, INA! Show the world that the 'storm' that hit PBSI doesn't affect our performance...much.:o

[huangkwokhau]

Another repeat encounter like AE 2008:

Chen Jin vs Tago...

[madbad]

No GOA LING then ???!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fav player ...!

Shouldn't you be able to spell her name then? ;):p

[madbad]

MS Qualification - Q2 and Q4 are loaded. I think:
Q1 - Pawar
Q2 - Sridhar (just)
Q3 - Vittinghus
Q4 - Gong

MS
LD will be laughing all the way to the final. He can sit back and watch the carnage in the top half where all his main challengers are. Plus he gets a free pass from BCL (Rd 2) and CJ (SF).

WS
The most exciting event of the AE. Almost every match looks competitive and an upset could occur. PHY v Saina, ZM v Petya, WYH v MK, HHY v XHW, ZL v JYJ are setting up to be crackers. The bottom half is loaded.

MD
Hardest event to call. Even LYD with new partner SBC will cause a few heart attacks. I expect the winner to come from the bottom half (marginally stronger).

WD
The bottom half sure looks strong. WPT & CEH will have to meet their nemesis, ZYW & ZTT yet again, with the inevitable result to follow. I expect LHJ & LKW to steamroll through the top half.

XD
LYD will be able to focus more on the XD with his regular partner out of the MD. It'll be hard for others to overcome him and LHJ.

[Wong8Egg]

Not a very good draw for China in MS. CJ, BCL and LD all on the same side.

But TH is probably the one that get the worst of luck , and it would be something if he is going to reach the final this year, let alone winning the title.
Route to the final for TH... YHH>>PG>>LCW>>LD :eek:

[mcdreamy]

This is what a Super Series Tournament should look like . . . . . most of badminton stars are here. it really shows that AE is the most prestigious SS event (which is also the oldest baddy tourney)

Although Ina has a quite bad Draws, but c'mon, you're not a champion if you're always complaining when you get a draw like this....... if you can pass through a draw like this and become the champion, it means that you're really a champion!!! though i think 'luck' is also needed here..... hahahahaha...........


GUD LUCK FOR ALL INDONESIA REPRESENTATIVES IN ALL ENGLAND 2009!!!!!!

HAJA!! HAJA!! FIGHTING!!!!!!!

[aulia]

Fiuu....

All the best for INA players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

[huangkwokhau]

I just read The Star on line,...I am glad that MAS underestimates Joko/Candra and Rian/Yoke....I hope both can spring some surprises....Go INA!!

Having read the article, it's only the idiot reporter who's flapping his gums, not the MAS team. So hauge, don't get too excited about it.

I'm sure no one in MAS management is stupid enough to give the opposition some ammo. But then again we are talking BAM...:rolleyes:

[koo_fan]

I don't think they are underestimating anyone.
In fact, would not ever think our side would put unneccesary pressure to the players and give unneccesary advantages to others.Right?

Simon beat Gade before..so I hope Simon can repeat it...go INA!!:D

Yup, hope Simon can realize it like he did in Denmark SS 2007, defeated PG in early round. Go INDONESIA!

Not MAS team, I think. It's the reporter.
Still...

Doubles pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, the third seeds, should not have much problem booking a place in the semi-finals ......................

Wow. Pretty confident. ;):rolleyes::p:cool:

Oh, but they'll be there. I see their names in MD-Qualif. stage.

[badMania]

Oh, but they'll be there. I see their names in MD-Qualif. stage.

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra will have to win 2 matches before they earn the right to play in the Main Draw, where Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan will be waiting.

The bolded one-I can ensure you their fans do not feel so.

Let the result speak up.

[jutawin]

KKK/TBH have a good chance to win AE title. as Markis kido still has knee problem (possible withdraw) n LYD doesn't pair with JJS. the challege may come from CY/FHF & dane pairs..
Everything is possible..

[limsy]

Everything is possible..

ya...everything is possible...lu yi might beat lcw....kbh/cwf might beat lindan...:p

[Dreamzz]

ya...everything is possible...lu yi might beat lcw....kbh/cwf might beat lindan...:p

the first one is possible, though improbable.
the second one is impossible!
;)

[etudiant]

it'll be so sad if kido is actually withdraw...sigh...at least come there and play one or two rounds....

[jutawin]

it'll be so sad if kido is actually withdraw...sigh...at least come there and play one or two rounds....

why does he come from far away just to play one/two rounds? It may make his injury get worse.. It's better for kido to stay in indonesia to recover his injury. But AE may his last tourney to pair HS, so i think he must participate..

[chris-ccc]

well...depend on how lyb think...wr for ld more important now...or wr for bcl???
how u guys think??? i will say bcl...



.
As at Thursday 12-Feb-2009, BCL's World Ranking has fallen to 12th position.

Therefore, we shouldn't be surprised if LYB should tell LD to allow BCL to gain more ranking points.

We shall now wait and see.

:p:p:p

i doubt LYB would ask LD to lose to BCL at such an early round.
if they were both in the final, or both in the semis with CJ already in the final, perhaps, otherwise highly unlikely.

[koo_fan]

i doubt LYB would ask LD to lose to BCL at such an early round.


I hope LYB would never ask LD to lose to BCL.

[Destricto_Ense]

Err, yeah, that'd be highly illegal.

Well, for the second and third round anyway. Hope to get some good photos and maybe videos.

[mcdreamy]

already Confirmed!!! Kido/Hendra wont participate in AE 2009 due to Kido's knee injury.....

sigh.........

[badMania]

With Kido/Hendra practically out of the European tour, I expect Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan and Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki to rise to the occassion and hopefully show good results.

[hiltonmoreira9]

yeah but now will be so hard for Indonesia to secure at least a title in AE2009..
nova/lilyana still good but not unbeatable.
O god, please help Indonesia.

[etudiant]

yeah....looks like big storm keep coming to ina camp....with all those big guns leaving pbsi...now top plyrs still injured....sigh....

Not a very good draw for China in MS. CJ, BCL and LD all on the same side.

But TH is probably the one that get the worst of luck , and it would be something if he is going to reach the final this year, let alone winning the title.
Route to the final for TH... YHH>>PG>>LCW>>LD :eek:
Ya, rather boring to see all the top chinses MS on one side of the draw. They all know each other moves and their matches would look like fixed.

With Kido/Hendra's confirmed withdrawal, now, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan have a chance to qualify for the QF. They just need to beat either Sun Junjie/He Hanbin or their ex team-mates Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra in R32. Winning that match, they will play either Kristoff Hopp/Johannes Schoettler or Kasper Faust Henriksen/Christian John Skovgaard (who will be promoted to replace Kido/Hendra). Surely, these 4 pairs should be manageable given Bona/Ahsan's ranking at no 11 right now??? If they do qualify for the QF, then, the sixth-seed Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol will most likely await them there.

As for Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki, the first round is a tough match against the fourth-seed Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif. If they can progress, they will face either Chris Adcock/Robert Blair or DEN's no 3 pair Simon Mollyhus/Anders Kristiansen for a place in the QF. Another Korean pair or the eighth-seed Anthony Clark/Nathan Robertson will probably await them in the QF. IMHO, this quarter is definitely the toughest one in the MD draw.

I will think that Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi can beat Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen in R32, but, the mighty Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong will await them in R16.

One of the Chinese trio will secure final place and looks like LD is the choice.


And end up as a runner-up:D


We are waiting for China's 3 month meditation result..I'm more anxious to see TH's 7 new WMD in action. I hope his 7 WMD aren't vaporwares like those of SH (Saddam H.):D

[badMania]

INA can forget about WS or WD as all the players will have tough matches beginning from the first round. Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii will straight-away challenge the top-seed Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing; while Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati get the worst luck in drawing probably the toughest non-seeded opponent in Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei. If they win that match, they could fulfill their seeding as their next opponent is either a Swedish or Thai pair.

In the WS, Pia Bernadet Zebadiah has a realistic chance of reaching R16, as she faces Judith Meulendijks in R32. However, the third-seed Lu Lan will await her next. Likewise, Adriyanti Firdasari should face Lydia Cheah Li Ya in R32, while Xie Xingfang will be the next opponent in R16. Maria Kristin Yulianti has a tough match against Wang Yihan in R32 and the winner will play the second-seed Zhou Mi in R16.

As for MS, Simon Santoso will face a rematch against the fourth-seed Peter Gade as early as R32. If he can beat Peter, Ng Wei or Sairul Amar Ayob will be the next opponent for a place in the last 8, where the seventh-seed Taufik Hidayat should be waiting.

Taufik himself has a relatively tough (but manageable) draw up to QF. He will be facing the rising TPE pair Hsieh Yu-Hsin, followed by either Chetan Anand or Andrew Smith.

Sony Dwi Kuncoro has the easiest draw up to QF as he will face a qualifier in R32, followed by either Ville Lang or Dicky Palyama next. However, the top-seed Lee Chong Wei will be the tough opponent starting from QF. Also, the 3 INA players will be in the same half of the draw. So, if Sony can beat Lee Chong Wei and qualify for SF, either Simon Santoso, Peter Gade or Taufik Hidayat will be the opponent there.

Tommy Sugiarto has a tough draw in the MS Qualifying. He will face Chong Wei Feng in the first match, followed by either Kuan Beng Hong or Anup Sridhar for a place in the main draw where Arvind Bhat will be awaiting. The reward for beating 3 players will be the third-seed Chen Jin in R16.

[badMania]

INA's best chance of a title in Birmingham is arguably XD. The top-seed Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir has a kind draw till QF where they should beat Hsieh Yu-Hsin/Chien Yu-Chin and Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul for a place in the QF. However, the 2 main CHN opponents could await them in QF (Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen) and SF (He Hanbin/Yu Yang). Although Nova/Butet have superior head-to-head records against both pairs (esp He/Yu), they lost twice in a row to Xie/Zhang late last year.

Meanwhile, the opponent in the Final should be the second-seed Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung, although pairs like Zheng Bo/Ma Jin or Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei or the fifth-seed Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl , the eight-seed Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam or the fourth-seed Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg are also lurking in the second-half of the draw.

Meanwhile, the unseeded Xie/Zhang will have to beat Flandy Limpele/Anastasia Ruskikh and the seventh-seed Robert Blair/Imogen Bankier for the right to play Nova/Butet.

As for the third-seed He/Yu, they will have an easy draw up to QF, where the rising and dangerous DEN pair of Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen could probably await them. INA's other pair, Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita is also in this quarter. They have a tough match against Koo Kien Keat/Ng Hui Lin in R32 and winning that match should pit them against a Danish pair (either Fischer-Nielsen/Pedersen or Rasmus Bonde/Helle Nielsen).

correct me if im wrong, but i think i saw Jo Novita/Rani Mundiasti listed on the draw also. they're in the same pool with zang yawen/zhao ting-ting, pan-pan/qing tian and chin/wong. and should face qualifier in the 1st round.....

After a long time I haven't spent to write on this forum..I finally back..so much things have been changed..incl. Mr. President decision from INA National squad, I could barely say in this first SS series after several resigns from Pelatnas..INA team morale got downed ..they might have a mountain climb this time to send even a representative in the AE final, realistically They would have only a chance to contend until SF. With just XD pair Nova/ Lily sorrounded by dozens tough opponents, INA would just begin with non title tournament in AE. But we'll see what will happen..maybe INA non pelatnas will get their higher motivation to win a title and prove PBSI that they've been wrongdone.

[koo_fan]

Hey...and guess what.This is the time for TH to declare his presidential candidacy.
When he is an independent entity.
Go for it!

AE and Ina both!

[bcmmgr]

why nobody mention about Tony GUNAWAN / Howard BACH reunion, they may still strong to beat some top pair too.

[mcdreamy]

yepp!!! former world champion.......

[hiltonmoreira9]

IMO, anything about this draw is not good for Indonesia team..
OMG, everyone of them is facing hard opponents. I guess Indonesia have to wait for another year to at least winning a title from AE.
Soooo damnn sad..

[matthewteng]

Singapore got tough draw in WS as well - playing Tine Rasmussen in first round!

[matthewteng]

AE draw makes for exciting tournament. Good that Taufik is playing after injuries kept him out at start of 2009.

[touya]

Well, MKY has withdrawn from AE and Swiss Open. It's so sad
However, that's mean she doesn't have to join that hellish draw in AE..
Hope she can recover soon and make a comeback on her WR ranking..

here is the news :

Cedera, Maria Batal ke All England

JAKARTA - Kekuatan tim pelatnas PB PBSI ke dua turnamen super series di Eropa, All England dan Swiss Terbuka, bakal berkurang. Tunggal wanita Maria Kristin kemarin (25/2) menyatakan batal berangkat, menyusul beberapa andalan lainnya. Padahal, turnamen itu memiliki posisi yang sangat strategis.

Di dua turnamen tersebut, PB PBSI akan menilai para pemain yang dikirim. Jika gagal memenuhi target, mereka akan "dikandangkan" pada turnamen berikutnya. Di All England, turnamen bulu tangkis profesional tertua, Indonesia sudah lama tidak meraih juara. Kali terakhir, Indonesia merebutnya lewat ganda pria Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto pada 2003.

Kepastian pengunduran diri Maria disampaikan dalam upacara pelepasan di markas pelatnas di Cipayung kemarin. Peraih perunggu Olimpiade Beijing 2008 itu batal bernagkat karena cedera lutut kanannya tak kunjung pulih. All England akan dimulai pada 3 Maret nanti.

Cedera lutut Maria memang kambuhan. Setelah sempat pulih, Kamis lalu (19/2) dia merasakan sakit yang tak tertahankan. Tak hanya merasakan nyeri, kulitnya juga iritasi. Untuk mengetahui kondisi terakhir, kemarin dia diperiksa di RSPAD Gatot Subroto.

"Akhirnya kami, pengurus dan pelatih, mengambil keputusan mengistirahatkan Maria dulu. Kemungkinan dia juga tak bisa tampil di Swiss nanti," ucap Marlev Mainaky, pelatih tunggal wanita PB PBSI, di Jakarta kemarin.

Tanpa Maria, tunggal wanita menyisakan Pia Zebadiah dan Adrianti Firdasari. Dengan peringkat mereka saat ini, belum masuk jajaran sepuluh besar, Marlev tak berharap banyak kepada dua anak asuhnya tersebut. "Saya ingin Firda bisa ke delapan besar, sedangkan Pia sudah bagus jika bisa melewati 16 besar," beber Marlev.

Absennya Maria itu menambah daftar pemain pelatnas Cipayung yang harus diparkir. Sebelumnya, ganda pria juara Olimpiade Beijing 2008 Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan lebih dulu mengundurkan diri. Penyebabnya, cedera lutut kiri Kido belum sembuh. Selain itu, mundurnya Vita Marissa dari pelatnas juga membuat ganda campuran kehilangan satu pasangan, Vita/Muhammad Rijal. Tanpa pemain-pemain tersebut, PBSI hanya memberangkatkan 17 pemain besok (27/2), termasuk Tommy Sugiarto yang berangkat dengan biaya sendiri.

Terpisah, Ketua Umum PB PBSI Djoko Santoso berharap agar wakil pelatnas setidaknya bisa membawa pulang satu gelar juara. Maklum, dari sana potensi atlet di kepengurusannya saat ini bisa diketahui. Salah satu yang paling diandalkan meraih gelar adalah ganda campuran melalui pasangan Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir yang nangkring di peringkat pertama dunia.

"Tapi, saya berharap jangan sampai target itu dijadikan beban. Meski menjadi pembinaan profesional, semua akan ada ukurannya. Pemain akan mendapatkan reward dan punishment atas apa yang sudah didapatkan," jelas Djoko.

Terkait dengan adanya beberapa pemain bintang yang tidak lagi membela pelatnas, Djoko tidak melihat itu sebagai ancaman. Mereka adalah taufik Hidayat, pasangan ganda Joko Riyadi/Candra Wijaya, dan Alvent Yulianto/Hendra A. Gunawan.

"Taufik atau pemain lainnya di luar pelatnas bukan ancaman. Kita masih sama-sama Indonesia. Hanya, memang ada dua jalur untuk mengikuti turnamen, sebagai pemain profesional atau ada di pelatnas ini," ucap Djoko. (vem/ang)

It's gonna be tough for MAS WD to meet CHN PP-QT as early as second round. Those China girls are loud and they defend and attack really well, from what I saw in GO. :(

[jutawin]

What? MKY withdraw?
Knee injury is nightmare for athletes.. Especially for footballers..

[akrylik]

Wtf is wrong with PBSI?! Do they just have a natural talent to drive athletes away?

[phaarix]

Yeah, I don't usually enjoy WD, but they made it quite exciting!

[jutawin]

Yeah, I don't usually enjoy WD, but they made it quite exciting!
