From INA: ( not complete one yet)
Simon santoso
Firdasari
Rian/Yoke
Nitya/Grace

These few players might be benched for failing to reach QF in the AE and Swiss SS.

i hope not.... coz this is not a superseries or GPG tourney..... they should represent Ina, not playing as individuals..... (if PBSI officers are smart enough to understand)

there are 22 countries will participate.
No LD, LCW or Taufik (he just withdrew)...
From INA, may be only Tommy Sugiarto.
From China, Bao Chun Lai, Chen Jin, XXF, Wang Yi Han and Jiang yan qiao.

The entry list will be posted by next week.

What? Only Tommy? What happens with the others?:(:mad:

BTW, glad to have you back, Mr. Hau-ge!:)

No LCW? No Taufik? Oh ok... then I predict Chen Jin will bag the title... ;)
Not that easy...they have PSH to prevent CJ or BCL...I think one of these 3 will win...

..i do think, without the presence of LD, LCW and Taufik, and should he recover from whatever injury he recently had at the AE, he has as good a chance as any of the top seeded players to win. Afterall, he has won it before...:cool:

If the rest isn't going, what result Tommy has which is good enough for him to go anyway :confused: He got bundled out in the first qualifying round of the AE :mad:

If Pelatnas players aren't being sent, then, I hope Djarum will send Andre Kurniawan Tedjono and Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan for the BAC in Suwon next mth.

Unfortunately they are not going either..........

I like to see the two tall player (Bao and Park) duke it out. I don't think they ever play each other before.

..just a minor thingy, but could kwun or the mods change the title of the tournament's sub-forum/thread.
Officially, it's no longer called the Asian Badminton Championships (ABC), but the Badminton Asia Championships (BAC).
Mucho gracias!:cool:

I think PSH will a bigger chance to win ABC...we all know why...haha....after all it is played in Korea,,,,

How about Maria Kristin? Will she participate in this continental championships?

According to Kompas, PBSI will only send Kido/Hendra to BAC? :confused:
They want to focus more into Sudirman Cup.

More likely confirmed that INA will have Vita/Flandy and Hendra/Kido

agreed.... :cool::cool::cool:

Officially, it's no longer called the Asian Badminton Championships (ABC), but the Badminton Asia Championships (BAC).Well, you're right in a way. That's what the BWF schedule and tournamentsoftware and everything else said last year (http://www.internationalbadminton.org/calen_1.asp?Li_evt_no=1778). This year, it's harder to tell. The BWF site (http://www.internationalbadminton.org/calen_1.asp?Li_evt_no=8873) says ABC this year, Badminton Asia says BAC (http://www.badmintonasia.org/event_details.aspx?eventID=195), and the BKA says BAC in English on the official site in Korean (http://www.koreabadminton.org/bac/) while the link to that site on the BKA homepage (http://www.koreabadminton.org/default.asp) says the equivalent of ABC in Korean. Go figure. :rolleyes:

i have some strange feeling that korea might 'clean sweep' this tournament:D:cool:

Kido/Setiawan get chance to compete in one tournament before Sudirman Cup since this pair had skipped two SS, AE and Swiss Open.

i have some strange feeling that korea might 'clean sweep' this tournament:D:cool:

You are quite right about it being a 'strange feeling' :o

Will INA's Nova/Natsir participate?

For the chinese, so far I know Guo Zhendong will be there :D

Will INA's Nova/Natsir participate?

Nope, according to KOMPAS news only Kido/Setiawan from Pelatnas camp will take part to this tourney.

I think PSH will a bigger chance to win ABC...we all know why...haha....after all it is played in Korea,,,,

PSH has become 2008 ABC Champion beating Sony & Chen Jin in MALAYSIA. :)

..i typed in "Asian Badminton Championships" at yahoo! search and it gave me a (Wiki)link to the Badminton Asia Championships; nothing of ABC.
I think the Badminton Asia Confederation (main tournament organizer) want to keep the "Badminton Asia" part of their name..;)

we can see the true image of ms future when ld,lcw,th and pg is not here...

Indonesia just send its reliable players..

I think PSH will a bigger chance to win ABC...we all know why...haha....after all it is played in Korea,,,,

:D:D:D Ha ha ha! Korea... yes... a place where a 90 cm out-of bounds shuttlecock can still be called "IN"! The only country who could make the legendary Yang Yang cry [he never felt so much injustice in his life]... :rolleyes:

Wang Yihan will be in ABC :D Let wait her in action again :D

Even the normally unflappable Flandy was shaken by Korean line-judging :p
To be fair, it seems they are just trying to beat the Chinese at their 'game'!

New information that Pia Zebadiah will move to mix double. She will start as Mix double player at Vietnam International Challenge pairing with Frans Kurniawan.

u should say also tat jung jae sung is still absent...and lyd/sbc will be unseeded....dangerous

I think pia was quite good playing MX when she was still junior,She won indonesia junior 2205 with her brother,bona septano rite???

The experimentation of KOR MD continues in the BAC.
Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong, Cho Gun Woo/Kim Ki Jung and Kwon Yi Goo/Chung Eui Seok.

By then,...:eek: 2205...she will be at least 224 years old.....:D:D:D

After 2 titles in the India Open GP Gold 2009 (but both from the non-Pelatnas players), INA will rely on Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan to deliver a title in Suwon. The INA pair will be the top-seed and they are using this opportunity as a warm-up tourney for the Sudirman Cup considering they have been absent for almost 3 mths with Kido's injury. The main threat will come from Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol, Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu and the two pairs from Japan: Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda and Kenichi Hayakawa/Kenta Kazuno. The mix-n-match KOR pairs and young MAS pairs could also pose some challenge.

As for Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa, I hope they will be seeded 4th. The likely challenge for them will come from the Olympics Champions Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung, Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam, Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul, and Ko Sung Hun/Ha Jung Eun. I hope Flandy/Vita avoid the top-seed (Lee/Lee) until the Final.

Great!

I also really hope INA sweep the titles in Korea so that Korea can be awaken one more time for world badminton. :)

In MD, I expect MAS will add another one from one of the top teams; the uncles looked quite good in India.

Why the draw still not yet out? Next week would be the tournament already

In MD, I expect MAS will add another one from one of the top teams; the uncles looked quite good in India.

From the Star today's edition:
“This is the last tournament for us to impress the selectors because we are not going for the ABC (Asian Badminton Championships in Suwon from April 7-12). We have done our part (by winning the India Open) and now it is up to the selectors to decide whether to select us for the world meet."

Why the draw still not yet out? Next week would be the tournament already
i think the draw just will be made tomorrow;)

Yup, according to BAC prospectus, the draw will be held on 31st March 2009.

Zhu Jing Jing may take part but few of chinese players will withdraw...it does not make sense for CHN to send full WS....with 2 or 3 WS, they can take title...Zhu Jing Jing is the qualification list now...

I think Jiang2 will not withdraw as well cos she needs to keep her points

haha, who do you think I am? how come I can contact her? :D

I do not know which one though...I heard that BCL may not play...we all know he is still having his knees injured so I do not see why he should go there...I do not know when he is going to have surgery..if he does...he may be out of badminton at least for 3 to 6 months...

really hauge?????it means he will not be part of China Team in SC

I think Jiang2 will not withdraw as well cos she needs to keep her points
I think China needs to send Jiang, Zhu Jing jing and Wang Yi Han...they need more points....honestly I do not see any motivation from XXF as she is trying to quit Badminton so she could focus her study....I heard ( you may say it is rumour)..Zhu Lin could be out from National team ...heard she did not get along with other teammates,etc..anyway..not sure...

really hauge?????it means he will not be part of China Team in SC
YEP.....I think I read an article that BCL may go to Germany for operation...same doctor that operated on Na Li's knees....INA girls will be dissapointed as I do not think BCL will go to INA Open this year..

If Zhu Lin is out of the team it will be good for Zhu Jing2 so she will be send in SS events,but I still hope ZL in the team

yaya, I also heard that Bao is not going. According to LYB, he registered BCL's name in ABC because in case he can participate. If not he just withdraws

yaya, LD also wants XXF to retire because everyday training, he saw XXF always being 'bullied' by the youngsters, his heart is so pain. He rather wants XXF to retire instead of stay on the court :D

If Zhu Lin is out of the team it will be good for Zhu Jing2 so she will be send in SS events,but I still hope ZL in the team
if ZL is out, WYH gains it :D Because ZL's current WR is higher than WYH and each country only can send 4 individuals/pairs to participate in WC :D

wow, you called to CBA and asked for ZJJ's phone number?? are you sure? I think most players won't give their number to strangers :D Why by that time ZJJ was with the officer?? :confused: And of course, you can create a thread for ZJJ but make sure you do searching first before you create a thread for her ;)

back to topic now,,, it's 31st march now and the draw hasn't been released yet....
they said the draw will be released later. I think should be around 3-4pm

I think China needs to send Jiang, Zhu Jing jing and Wang Yi Han...they need more points....honestly I do not see any motivation from XXF as she is trying to quit Badminton so she could focus her study...

Looks like XXF era has gone and she should resign...CHN has promising talents to replace her position soon.

Looks like XXF era has gone and she should resign...CHN has promising talents to replace her position soon.
i hope not... coz China still need experienced players for team competition,, maybe after Guangzhou asian games 2010...at that times,, Zhu JJ, Jiang YJ, Wang YH, Wang Lin, and LU Lan are fully matures

they said the draw will be released later. I think should be around 3-4pm
3-4 pm Malaysia time??? ok then...
hope good draw for Zhu Jingjing
and here is my prediction
MS : Chen Jin
WS : Wang YH or Jiang YJ,, i want Zhu JJ to win ,,but,,, a little bit hard,,,
she must extra motivated to win it
MD : Markis Kido / Hendra Setiawan or Lee YD / Shin BC
WD : Zhang YAWEN / ZHAO tingting
XD : LEE YD/ LEE HJ or Flandy/Vita,,, dark horses CHAI BIAO / Zhang YAWEN

i hope not... coz China still need experienced players for team competition,, maybe after Guangzhou asian games 2010...at that times,, Zhu JJ, Jiang YJ, Wang YH, Wang Lin, and LU Lan are fully matures
yaya, agree with you. Even though XXF already does not have the motivation, but she must be in the team to participate in some big tournaments. I hope she can help the youngsters as well.

Well, I don't know why LCW, LD, TH doesn't participate ABC 2009?

Well, I don't know why LCW, LD, TH doesn't participate ABC 2009?

Maybe they are tired after participating at AE & SO.
TH & LCW also participated at India open last week..

PBSI is the national body in charge of badminton in Indonesia and Pelatnas (Pemusatan Latihan Nasional) is just the training centre for the national team players. There are Pelatnas for all sports in INA, not only badminton.

Technically speaking, all club players also belong to PBSI and some get called up to the Pelatnas. Which is why we have the Seleknas (Seleksi Nasional) to select which players are eligible to represent the national team.

Owh..thanks for the clarification.

i thought Pelatnas is for all- badminton stars. So, can Taufik practice there even he's an independent pro-player and no longer subscribed to PBSI's management?

Pelatnas is only for players who are called up by the different sports' national bodies. So, we have Pelatnas for Badminton, Tennis, Taekwondo, etc.

Even though Taufik is out of Pelatnas, he's still a member of PBSI, unless he decides to immigrate to other countries or retire for good. However, once he decided not to be in the national team, he cannot enjoy the facilities and coaching support from Pelatnas though. He has to train back at his own club or at some other clubs if they do permit him to do so.

Lmao

Its April Fool!you Fool!i Mean U:d

what is about this Asia CH? Is it not so privileged tournament to attract great players?

what is about this Asia CH? Is it not so privileged tournament to attract great players?
ask all the top players then;)

what is about this Asia CH? Is it not so privileged tournament to attract great players?It's not unusual for the Asian Championships nor for a Grand Prix Gold event.

One might expect all the best Europeans or North Americans at their continental championships because of the good chance at GP Gold-level ranking points without so many of the world's best (read: Asian) players. If a top men's doubles pair wants the European title, they need only be better than five other pairs from the world's top-20. It's a golden opportunity. Not so for the best Asian players so they have to weigh the benefit against the costs of the travel and the busy tournament schedule, just like any other GP Gold event.

Apart from Malaysia and Indonesia, most other Asian powers are coming in strength. Indonesia is never at full-strength for GP Gold and neither is China. Korea skipped the last three in a row. I think the last time I saw a full-strength team at this level was last year's BAC.

Last year was an exception because it's a tournament that's eligible for Olympic qualification points. Chen Jin got his ticket to Beijing through that tourney. Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen got eliminated, while He Hanbin/Yu Yang were through, also through that tourney.

Yup, last year was Olympic qualification and Chen Jin got a big break from Lin Dan ...... forced me to take a tea break during the match too. :p

But in this year's event the WS field is overwhelming and top CHN players are all entered to fight for the slots for World Championships. Some of them might have to go thru pretty difficult opposition from Rd 1 and 2.

Interesting clashes in the WS indeed, with 6 players scrambling for 4 spots in the WC 2009 (provided 4 players finish in the top 8):
Q1
Zhu Lin [6] vs Bae Youn Joo
-- Zhu will probably face Zhou Mi [1] in the QF

Q2
Wang Lin [3] vs Yip Pui Yin
Saina Nehwal [7] vs Jiang Yanjiao
-- one of the two CHN players will be eliminated in the QF

Q3
Hwang Hye Youn vs Wang Yihan [8]
-- IMHO, Wang Yihan has the smoothest route to the SF

Q4
Xie Xingfang [5] and Lu Lan [2] will surely advance to the QF and 1 will be eliminated.

From the rankings, it appears that Lu Lan should be pretty assured of 1 spot in the WC. Xie Xingfang should be the next one with the highest points. I am also pretty sure Zhu Lin and Jiang Yanjio will be out of contention given Zhu's poor form and Jiang's low ranking.

The last 2 spots should go to Wang Lin and Wang Yihan.
