It was unfortunate that Mens Singles No.1 Seed, Chong Wei LEE (MAS) (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=72F1F101-544B-4C1F-B8BE-11BB3296ADE8&player=1), was eliminated. But congratulations to Long CHEN (CHN) (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=72F1F101-544B-4C1F-B8BE-11BB3296ADE8&player=36) who defeated him. Many think that Chen Long could continue on to the Finals to face Taufik Hidayat.

.

LCW finally cracked against those Chinese newcomers... his games with new chinese players seemed to always drag into decisive set... it was bound to happen sooner or later but first round...

hope to see many close battle and many upset....:)...all the best to player....:D

The most ironic seeds had to be in XD. Hkg pair seeded one just cause they play lots of events. When Vita/Flandy only seeded third. They had great chance to win here. Their tough oppponent had to be from China today, Shenye/Majin. Who won this round will probably win the title.

From Women D, the title will be a fight between Indonesia pair and China youngsters.

MS and WS are hard to predict.

MD title will be between Malaysian pairs and Indonesian pairs.

Mixed Doubles R16
Mohita Sachdev/Tanveer Gill vs Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Dili Puspita -- QF placing for Towi/Richi in their first tourney is a good enough result.

Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto vs Baptiste Careme/Laura Choinet [4] -- likewise for Rijal/Debby. Rijal's experience should help the INA pair in beating the 4th-seed.

Men's Singles R16
Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] vs Chan Kwong Beng -- I think Andre will be able to win this one. I predicted that he will meet Chong Wei Feng, but, Chong lost to his team-mate.

Tommy Sugiarto vs Sairul Amar Ayob [7] -- it will be a bonus if Tommy can progress to the QF.

Arvind Bhat [9] vs Taufik Hidayat [2] -- Taufik for the title! For INA sake...hehehehe...

Women's Doubles R16
Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari [1] vs Komala Dewi/Debby Susanto -- Yao/Shinta should be too much for our young WD pair to handle.

Vita Marissa/Nadya Melati vs Marylen Ng Poau Leng/Woon Khe Wei -- Vita/Nadya will be a dark horse for the title after beating Wang Siyun/Zhang Jinkang yesterday.

??? vs Jo Novita/Endang Nursugianti -- Jo/Endang should take this one.

Annisa Wahyuni/Anneke Feinya Agustine vs Tang Jinhua/Xia Huan -- a tough match for Annisa/Anneke. Just treat it as a learning experience in their first senior tourney.

Men's Doubles R16
Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi [5] vs Sai Praneeth B./Pranav Chopra -- no problem for Candra/Joko in terms of fulfilling their seeding.

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra vs Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie [3] -- unlucky tie for Edo/Lingga as I don't think AG/Alvent will lose to their juniors. Another QF placing for the independent pair to pave their way up to the top 50 in 5 tourneys. With a few more QF finishes in GP Gold tourneys (we still have the Malaysia, Thailand, Chinese-Taipei, and Macau Opens) and a first round in the Indonesia SS, we shall see AG/Alvent in the top 15 by end of August. Not bad a new pairing.

Baby steps are the name of the game for Indonesian shuttlers in the India Gold Grand Prix.

The Hyderabad tournament, which runs through Sunday, sees a pair of mixed doubles teams making their debut and Maria Kristin Yulianti returning to the court after being laid-up for four months with an injury.

Tantowi Ahmad and Richi Puspita Dili, as well as Muhammad Rijal and Debby Susanto, will use the grand prix to hone their skills as first-time teams.

National team head coach Christian Hadinata said the mixed doubles pairs were sent to India last week in preparation for the Hyderabad and the Sudirman Cup, May 10-17, in Guangzhou, China.

Tantowi and Richi will meet Mohita Sachdev and Tanveer Gill of India in Wednesday’s first round, while Rijal and Debby will meet the Indian duo Alwin Francis and Jyotshna Polavarapu.

The Indonesian Badminton Association, or PBSI, lost one senior mixed doubles shuttler when Vita Marissa withdrew from the national training camp. She still plays as a professional and will compete in Hyderabad with longtime partner Flandy Limpele.

Maria returns to the court for the first time since a right knee injury sidelined her for four months. The women’s singles No. 4 seed begins her comeback with a first-round match against Singapore’s Zhang Beiwen.

The Beijing Olympics bronze medalist suffered her injury after her quarterfinal match in the 2008 French Open Super Series tournament and has not played competitively since.

Indonesia’s national team also sent Tommy Sugiarto (men’s singles), Fernando Kurniawan and Lingga Lie (men’s doubles) and two women’s doubles teams — Komala Dewi and Debby, and Anneke Feinya Agustin and Annisa Wahyuni — to Hyderabad. Several professional shuttlers from Indonesia, such as Taufik Hidayat and mixed doubles duo Alvent Yulianto Chandra and Jo Novita, will also take part in the tournament.

Singapore players who survived and will battle on.
All the best to our players! :)

M Rijal/Debby took the 1st game 21 15 in 9 minutes

Wow, India's Diju/Gutta leading wide margin over China XD. Seldom I see China pairs so far behind, 5 to 6 points, in the 1st set also.

Oho, MAS XD beat their SIN opponent. An upset?

Meanwhile, so far so good for INA camp, winning 3 matches out of 3.:D
Hopefully this is a good sign.

Well, it's all even, win one lose one. :)

Expected results in the XD.

Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Puspita Dili totally outplayed their IND opponents and won without breaking a sweat. A harder test emerges tomorrow in the shape of the top-seed Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah. I think Towi/Richi has a chance against the top-seed :cool: We'll see....

Meanwhile, Flandy Limple/Vita Marissa beat one of their main obstacle in winning a title this week, Shen Ye/Ma Jin 21-19, 21-16. They should also beat Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan for a place in the last 4. At this moment, it looks like V. Diju/Jwalla Gutta will be their main opponent.

As for Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto, good work too in beating the 4th-seed Baptiste Careme/Laura Choinet very comfortably too. Rijal's experience will be vital once again when the face Ong Jien Guo/Chong Sook Chin. A SF match against V. Diju/Jwalla Gutta looks likely for them.

is WMC playing NOw ? if she is , please....the scores , keep it update.....

wmc on court now!

Singapore players who survived and will battle on.
All the best to our players! :)

WMC win,21-11,14-21,21-18

Lydia trails 9-11

Decent job by WMC, not at her best but still managed to go to the q-finals.

Unfortunately, by the time I get to see her in action tomorrow, I think she would go down to Yu Hirayama.

welcome to Qf for Wong Mew Choo...

Decent fight from this girl Sampada, matching ZBW.

I'll Cheer Shizuka.....
;););)..C'mon Shizuka....

is time to say bye bye to shizuka...:)...when lydia is didnt commit unforce error...she is hard to beat...:)

While WMC is not her best,I think she still able to beat Hirayama tomorrow!And don't forget,she just recovery from the injury n she also food poisoning just like LCW.

if hafiz beat zhou wen long:rolleyes:

Which is why I don't think WMC is going to upstage Yu Hirayama this time.

In fact, it is likely that all 3 MAS girls will bite the dust tomorrow. The best chance is from Julia, but she has to play the toughest opponent, Saina Nehwal on home ground.

Andre vs. Kwong tied up at 4-4... game 1.

Andre leads 11-7 at the interval of the first set.

Andre leading a bit now...

Typical Hafiz, won first game, then switched off and now trailing so far off. My gut feeling tells me he'll lose eventually...

5 straight points from Chan Kwong Beng from 12-18 to 17-18 before Andre wins one pt to make it 19-17.

phew Andre took 1st set

now TH and Tommy on courts too

A close shave for Andre as he wraps up the first set 21-18. He was leading as many as 6 pts.

smash winners showdown btwn HH and ZWL

so far no casualties on ina camp yet....good...

3 Ina MS are leading now....keep it up

Hafiz come on.... rebound... !

Tommy makes fast start

TH leads 11-9 in towel break

cmon ZWL........save my paw

Surprisingly, Tommy leads Sairul 11-4. Taufik also leads 11-9 at the interval.

14all......arrrghh......................

ooops.....Andre on the trail now.............

Andre now trails 9-11 at the interval of the second set.

bye2 big paw pts.......................

HH breaks pawers hearts...............

Taufik takes the first set 21-14.

cmon Andre wakes up......................

glad that mew choo won just now:D

wow, this hafiz yoyo won the match!..unbelievable huh?:rolleyes:

neck to neck battle in Andre match

Tommy also takes the first set 21-14. It's still pretty tight between Andre and Chan Kwong Beng at 16-16.

wow, this hafiz yoyo won the match!..unbelievable huh?:rolleyes:
is this the sign of his resurrection again......:confused:

finish it fast....Andre....dont go rubber....

19-17 for Andre now...........................

Yes....Andre has a 2 pts lead at 19-17.

meanwhile TSC leading Anup now.....last India MS standing

yes Andre won....................

hmmm . . . hafiz proves me wrong this time :)

much closer fight in 2nd for Tommy now...............

So its gonna be Andre vs MAS Yoyo master.....hopefully Andre can take out the Yoyo :)

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono beat Chan Kwong Beng 21-18, 21-18. He will meet Mohd Hafiz Hashim for a place in the last 4. Let's hope the Yoyo Power works on Hafiz again :D

Taufik also leads 11-5; while Tommy trails 7-11 at the interval of the second set.

is this the sign of his resurrection again......:confused:
not sure though.
but since we had already labeled him as yoyo, then u can know what to expect next from him:p

go go go tan chun seang!:p

Hish, this Hafiz is full of disappointment. Either he disappoints me, or he disappoints my PAW.

camon botak ayob!
smash it:D!!!

Hish, this Hafiz is full of disappointment. Either he disappoints me, or he disappoints my PAW.
that's why we called him yoyo:p

Hope Kuan beng hong can beat this chinese youngster:)
leading 5-2 now

Taufik Hidayat enters quarterfinal, beat Arvind Bhat 21-14 ; 21-11.

yaayy!!
TH won!!!

wow, ayob 19-18 now!
20-19 now..so kan chiong!:p

phew, luckily ayob won the 2nd set 21-19 to force it to the rubber game:)
hehe, hope he can win the 3rd set as well:D

Taufik Hidayat wins easily 21-14, 21-11 over Arvind Bhat. Up next is either Kuan Beng Hong or Qiu Yanbo.

Meanwhile, Tommy Sugiarto lost the second set 19-21. I think he will lose the rubber-set because he's known to have stamina problem.

meanwhile monkey TCS lost the 1st set9-21:mad:

2 smash winner from tommy in the 3rd set.
leading 4-1 now

wow, kuan beng hong teaching the chinese shuttlers a lesson now:eek:
leading 20-7 now..maybe revenge for chong wei?:D
or qiu yan bo have food poisoning?:p

Just when you thought Tommy is going to maintain the healthy lead, he let Sairul win 4 pts in a row and now level the score at 8-8.

It's now 11-9 to Tommy at the interval of the rubber-set. Can he win it?

It seems like KBH is going to have food poisoning effect. And maybe sore knee too. :)

yaaayy!!
Tommy also won!!!!

Tommy Sugiarto defeats Sairul Amar Ayob, 21-14 ; 19-21 ; 21-17.

so far 3 INA, 3 MAS and 1 CHN...can Mas make it 4?

It seems like KBH is going to have food poisoning effect. And maybe sore knee too. :)

spoke too soon...as he take 10 consecutive points from 9 to 19 and win the game...

Disaster for my PAW today......sigh!!

it's time for Dewi/Debby (double D) vs shinta/yao lei now . . . . . .
can the double D make an upset here???
i hope so . . . . . . . .

Amazing. No casualties in INA camp so far...

Gals, keep this momentum!

also for Vita/Nadya . . . . . .

so far 3 INA, 3 MAS and 1 CHN...can Mas make it 4?

very posible...hope tan chun seang score another upset win...:)

Looks like KBH and Hafiz passed the test this time....can Monkey upset Anup?14-12

Tommy Sugiarto advances to the QF after beating Sairul Amar Ayob in 3-sets. He will now face either Tan Chun Seang or Anup Sridhar.

anup is india only hope! ! ! BUT I hope he lose... go go go TCS~!

tomorow....will have 40 matches...and 18.5 them invovle mas player...2 of the 18.5 is mas vs mas....but...mas unlikely to have more than 10 pairs/players to advance to quater final....if have more than 10....i will :eek:

yeah 4 ms n 3 ws....

haw looks good to advance....go haw...

the 2nd seed are being sent home by the unseeded chinese pair..........

new combo, Vita/Nadya looking very sharp in their partnership...hope they'll last long...

Update the score Plizz...
Stuck!!!

5 straight points for Jo/Endang to find them leading for the 1st time in 2nd game....
meanwhile, Anneke/Annisa (double A) are having a very thight game against the chinese.........

Jo/Endang seal the ticket to quarter after beating the HK pair 22 20, 21 14 . . . . . .

oops, guess i was mistaken....... Jo/Endang goes for rubber here........
gomen nasai . . . . . . . . . . . . .

:cool:Jo/Endang seal the ticket to quarter after beating the HK pair 22 20, 21 14 . . . . . .

:cool:

:cool:

:cool:
you don't read it well


today i spent too much time in front of my pc...... my eyes are blur......

double A are having more trouble in the 2nd game, while HK pair are catching up Jo/Endang........

Jo/Endang, Laura/WEny and the chinese pair seal the tickets to quarterfinal almost at the same time......
waw!!

too bad for double A...... today's not a good day for Ina's junior WD........

double A are having more trouble in the 2nd game, while HK pair are catching up Jo/Endang........

:D now it's official jo/endang through QF againts french pair

Jo/Endang, Laura/WEny and the chinese pair seal the tickets to quarterfinal almost at the same time......
waw!!

too bad for double A...... today's not a good day for Ina's junior WD........
thanx for the update,...
my livescore still stuck until now....
sigh!!!!

Wow amazing, MS QF will have 1 Chn, 3 INA and 4 MAS players, but I think the final 4 will be only 1 or 2 left, and Final will between CL and TH....

9.5 mas pairs/players in quater...hope to see more....:)



yes...but tomorow match will be tough...:(

It looks like Msia MS will be totally wiped out tomorrow :D

It looks like Msia MS will be totally wiped out tomorrow :D

if they all advance to semis...:eek:...then someone will say...dont over celebrate it...;)...hehe...anyway....its ok for me....as my fave is not here...:p...not my matter...(i mean ms:p)

thanx for the update,...

sigh!!!!

why dont you refresh your connection???
i think there's some problem with it.

meanwhile, Joko/Candra leading 17 10 in the 1st set against the indian pair

if they all advance to semis...:eek:...then someone will say...dont over celebrate it...;)...hehe...anyway....its ok for me....as my fave is not here...:p...not my matter...(i mean ms:p)

Well, they might surprise you when there is no high expectation :)

21 12. Joko/Candra took the 1st set in just 9 minutes.......

looks like there will be another 4th seed being wiped out from the tourney..... this time is the MD home pair......

another quarterfinal ticket for Ina. this time is from Joko/Candra. they won in straight game 21 12, 21 6 in 18 minutes.

minna san, im signing off for now, been so sleepy, gotta go to work tomorrow......
see you all . . . . . . . . .

Alvent/Hendra had no problem dealing with Edo/Lingga.
21-17 21-8 in just 18 mins?!

And Edo/Lingga's defeat concludes INA team's saga today.
3 pairs down (2 WD, 1 MD). Not bad, really.
Best of luck to all survivors tomorrow!

Pretty expected results in WD and MD. The non-Pelatnas pairs continue their good form. Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi have an easy task today and they took care of it without fuss in straight-sets. They will have a tougher task against Chen Zhiben/Tao Jiaming tomorrow. Meanwhile, Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra beat their junior Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie 21-17, 21-8. They will await the winner between Goh Wei Shern/Ong Jien Guo and Hoon Thien How/Lin Woon Fui.

In the WD, the two young Pelatnas pairs lost to the top-seed and a CHN pair. The two non-Pelatnas pairs advance to the QF. Vita Marissa/Nadya Melati will now challenge Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari in an interesting clash tomorrow. They should have a chance. Meanwhile, Jo Novita/Endang Nursugianti were forced to rubber-set before they beat the Hong Kong pair. They will face the fourth-seed Weny Rahmawati/Laura Choinet for a place in the last 4.

i sense many disappointments for malaysian fans tommorrow.. : /
