Sudirman Cup 2009 Semi Final : May 16th

[extremenanopowe]

how come no one pick up hhy? ;)

[extremenanopowe]

lets see if lcw can make a double on ld. ;)

[eaglehelang]

badmania already stated that if Nova/Butet fails to deliver, INA chances are pretty slim. Didn't expect Maria to lost to HHY though...the knee is definitely hindering her.

Yeah, Maria was leading in the 1st set. I thought she would have no problems to wrap it up in straight sets.

[limsy]

the match between mas and china should be finish in 3-1
and i hope mas will be the winner:p

fairuz,hope u 100%awake and dont made silly mistake,if not i will make sure i shoot u here:p,so as wpt:D(relax:))

fairuz/wpt will have a 45-55 chance against he/yu
if they play like when they vs lee/lee and with less mistake,they will be able to take this one,hope that they wont kill themself with error:cool:

lcw vs lindan 45-55
lindan have a bad record against lcw in team competition,but now he is on homegroud,lcw need to use his best shot and ability+stratergy against lindan.
i am sure this lindan is not the swiss open lindan anymore,so,lcw cant afford to apply same(like in swiss open) mindset/stratergy here

koo/tan vs cai/fu 50-50
provided koo/tan perform like when they face danes,then the chance is 60-40,but if they keep defending and keep let opponent to attack them,the chance will be 40-60.koo need to play brilliant badminton(with no mistake) and tan need to give his 100% if they want to win this. and PLEASE,dont kill urself with MISTAKE

wmc vs wyh 45-55
provided wmc is injury free and perform like when she face hhy,then she will have a 45-55 chance. if compare by style,wmc will have advantage if her footwork and defence is on form,anyway,please dont kill urself with mistake

wd?
i dont think the tie will down to 2-2,if yes,china will win

[abedeng]

Hmm, Park Joo Bong is still here although his charges have gone home. Maybe to support Korean contingent.

Now, the long walk from one end of the GBICC to the other, in search of dinner.

[limsy]

Military training has again proven to be good for badminton players..........Chn did it early this year, and now JJS.....just look at those big smashes................

Congratulation KOR and well done INA.............

Tonight will be China's night...........

so,will u suggest to bam?with ur brilliant thinking?:rolleyes:

ya,i agree with u that tonight will be china night just like when i agree with u mas will not enter semis;)

[kwun]

going for a quick nap. see u guys in 2 hours.

[limsy]

going for a quick nap. see u guys in 2 hours.

make sure u can wake up:p

[abedeng]

With Chin partnering Ng Hui Lin in WD, I wonder if Chin will hold her temper against Ng. She was upset the last time they played together against Korea in the Uber Cup Finals.

I bet it won't get that far anyway.

[badMania]

Okay, I only watched the first and last match (XD and MD), skipping the 2 most closely-contested match to attend a friend's church wedding. Thanks to the updates by Krisna and Hau-Ge.

Overall, KOR deserves the 3-1 victory over INA and as I said earlier, if INA lost the XD match, it's as good as all over.

For the mixed doubles, I think Nova should retire and Butet should find a new partner. No question abt that.

For the men's doubles scratch pairing, it's Hendra Setiawan who was making more errors today. The first set was horrible to watch as the INA pair succumbed to the pace and power of the KOR pair. Hendra/Ahsan played well briefly, when they managed to take a 4 pts lead at 13-9. Since then, a combination of unforced errors and switch of tactics by KOR pair led to a turnaround and the INA pair lost narrowly 19-21.

I still think it's better for Kido/Hendra to split up, given the uncertainly lingering over Kido's knees (which is taking a long long time to heal) :cool: Hendra/Rendra (or if they want to stick to using Hendra/Ahsan) will be one option.

[limsy]

I bet it won't get that far anyway.

haha,but ng improve alot after that,if now mas vs danes in uber,i doubt mas will lose:p
anyway,i also bet it wont get so far;)

[CLELY]

INA team once again failed to book final ticket, lost to KOR like last year Thomas Cup. Hmm, seems champion target is too heavy for INA squad...KOR team showed brilliant performance and high confidence to advance into finale, congratz!

Hendra/Ahsan played better than expected..Ahsan showed good temperament in big match pressure cooker environment.
At present, I doubt Malaysia can find a back up player like him

[limsy]

wow,u doubt mas can find a back up like him?:rolleyes:(just list smasher:p)
u know who is mak hee chun?hoon tien how?chan peng soon? razif?lutfi?ong jian guo?and so on:p
anyway,ya,they cant handle pressure;)

[Zabee]

like Limsy says there many double's player , the question is will they crack under pressure......

[copadh]

70 minutes to go, tribunes still empty, wondering how much spectator will come tonight...

[Zabee]

i have a question , does badminton fans in the arena do " Mexican Wave " like football fans in the arena ??

[abedeng]

The Chinese squad is already here, practising their support routine with use of flags.

Gade was with us on the bus, says that his migraine is better but he will return home tonight. More training for next 2 super series.

[Zabee]

to Gade, hope him recover as soon as possible..

[abedeng]

The Rasa Sayang song is playing at the arena.

[Zabee]

bagus....Malaysia Boleh..........

[abedeng]

I can hardly see the court, now everyone is standing to see the players march in.

[jasonmarc]

so,will u suggest to bam?with ur brilliant thinking?:rolleyes:

ya,i agree with u that tonight will be china night just like when i agree with u mas will not enter semis;)

Yes, I m happy with MAS achievement here,......but will U think MAS managed to enter SF if PG and Tine were in Danes Team....? :cool:

Again, I doubt....!

Anyway, well done MAS.....but u are right,....TCS dont have a chance to play at all............:D

[Jessica]

Oh no...The RTM 1 is not showing the match...Any other live stream out there???

[vching]

Malaysia Boleh!

Cream The Chinese!

[abedeng]

Both pairs are trading loose returns so far, Not of the best quality.

[volcom]

Thrash them China!!!!!!!

[jnce00]

I hereby calls RTM1 the worst channel ever for not showing the match.

[copadh]

superb defense display by MAS...

[abedeng]

Dogged MAS defence finally breaks down, and Fairuz error leaves them 2 pts down at the break.

[Erwin Kyoto]

For the mixed doubles, I think Nova should retire and Butet should find a new partner. No question abt that.
Totally agree..M.RIZAL is good partner for BUTET
Btw..I am INA fan but support MAS n Rexy.. camon MAS win it

[abedeng]

Now it's all between YY's winners and Fairuz's mistakes.

[Jyaki]

Great netplay from Yu twice in a row.

[Jessica]

All over for MAS in the first set as china gain 7 straight points after the interval.

[abedeng]

Fairuz is not in the game. CHN takes it easily.

[copadh]

too easy for HHB/YY.

[volcom]

21-11.... MOW THEM HARD!!!!!! hahahaha

[jasonmarc]

Fuzzy's respond are slow........not enough sleep ?..he does looks sleepy...!

HHB/YY easily several levels higher..............

[robin7]

Channel 711 is more interesting!

[nwy5633]

[abedeng]

Fairuz is too slow for XD, I think.

[volcom]

11-7 GOGOGO CHina :D:D:D

[Hazeef]

Fairuz is too slow for XD, I think.

I cant agree more !!

[abedeng]

The Olympic bronze medallists are clearly superior, another of Fairuz's smashes float out.

[mcchooi]

the malaysian XD pair is classes apart :crying:

[Jyaki]

Did I just see HHB touch Yu on the butt? xD

[abedeng]

CHN about to take the first tie of the night.

[limsy]

Yes, I m happy with MAS achievement here,......but will U think MAS managed to enter SF if PG and Tine were in Danes Team....? :cool:

Again, I doubt....!


then why u happy with?
u mean they are just lucky as pg and tr is not there,not mas true strenght:rolleyes:

[abedeng]

Chen Xingdong probably not to happy with HHB's performance, but they got the job done.

[koo_fan]

Chong wei, play your best

[volcom]

:D:D:D easy victory.
No communication between the Malaysian pair

[jasonmarc]

And WPT can retrieves HHB smashes.........MAS lost xd..........

[vching]

Lin Dan, prepare to meet your doom!

[vching]

Lin Dan ain't gonna win against the Datuk :D

[koo_fan]

:D:D:D easy victory.
No communication between the Malaysian pair
Miscommunication, i'd say. Few last points, quite disappointing yea.

[volcom]

Lin Dan will show LCW who's the Da Ge!!!

[vching]

Oh hello Gao Ling - long time no see that smile :D

[abedeng]

The last time these two guys wore these colour in battle against each other, sleeveless LD trooped out the winner.

[jasonmarc]

[volcom]

Curse of athletes is obessity after their careers for many

[vching]

Datuk boleh! Show your younger opponent who's really DA GE :D

[Jyaki]

Lin Dan will show LCW who's the Da Ge!!!

Hehe I cannot agree more :cool:

[Hazeef]

[limsy]

[volcom]

Huge Smash Ld!!!!! 2-0!!!!

[abedeng]

Lin Dan complains of distractions. Doesn't stop his good start.

[Jyaki]

LD off to a 4-0 lead.

[volcom]

4-0 Super Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[limsy]

abedeng,please describe more,i cant watch

[abedeng]

LCW moves back close and LD breaks the momentum with a request for court mop up.

[vching]

ohmygod - isn't there gun control laws in China?

Does Lin Dan have the right to bear arms? :D

[Jyaki]

Long long rally. I believe LCW won that rally.

[abedeng]

LCW levels and move to the lead with LD's smash unstuck.

[abedeng]

LD good buildup of the attack.

[hashdam]

where can i watch the match cctv 5 is offline? =[

[waile]

this is getting shitty

[Jessica]

Oh no..stupid rtm 1 stop broadcasting...OMG...so angry...

[waile]

sigh, midway lead to china...

[abedeng]

LCW's drop lands wide and gives his opponent a 4 pt margin.

[waile]

Oh no..stupid rtm 1 stop broadcasting...OMG...so angry...

[|to7o|]

[jnce00]

Damn, news time, RTM1 is not gonna show it again.

[waile]

haha... its gonna be one of those days where malaysia will lose in str8 sets for all matches...

[Jessica]

Btw,Lin Dan is so so muscular...Just look at his arm...hehe..

[abedeng]

Lin Dan's netplay is exemplary today.

[waile]

whats with the cross court net play which he plays so often and he knows lin dan always get them... gawd... malaysia malaysia, 8 str8 points to china

[jnce00]

LCW gambatehh!!!

[waile]

Lin Dan's netplay is exemplary today.

so is LCW, just dont take example from him whereby play the net thingy too often:p

[limsy]

[Emmanuel-Phua]

[Emmanuel-Phua]

oh and 1 more question...
didi china change sponsor..
i only realised when lindan was not using a yonex racket
**wait**
is lindan using a yonex racket but has string with a different logo on it?

[abedeng]

This is a hard game, even if the score doesn't reflect it.

[waile]

its too late now... grrr

[waile]

This is a hard game, even if the score doesn't reflect it.

agreed but it'll be better if the score sided with us:0

[extremenanopowe]

a potential 3-0 game. ;)

[Emmanuel-Phua]

.... is LD using a yonex racket?
and why is LCW wearing a watch?

[waile]

hmm... think lin dan is tiring him out...argh

[Jyaki]

.... is LD using a yonex racket?
and why is LCW wearing a watch?

LCW had always worn a watch didn't he?

[Dolphin]

its too late now... grrr

relax, don't panic... enjoy the game.

at least you can watch it from where you are :rolleyes:

[extremenanopowe]

malaysia already kiss goodbye lah. just having fun la... ;) Singapore open shd be good. ;)

[waile]

.... is LD using a yonex racket?
and why is LCW wearing a watch?

[limsy]

haha... does the malaysian player ever change

haha,yes.after match:p

[waile]

relax, don't panic... enjoy the game.

at least you can watch it from where you are :rolleyes:

its hard to be angry... haha
we r all die hard fans, if not we wont be here... btw now its 19-12

[extremenanopowe]

they shd make a rule not to allow coaches to instruct. put a glass frame and block their body.
;)

[Emmanuel-Phua]

oh really?
any reason why is he wearing one?
maybe i might go wear one and play...lol JK
and is LD using a yonex racket?

[extremenanopowe]

too much instructions from the sideline kills creativity from players. ;)

[Emmanuel-Phua]

lol i did not know yonex made watches XD.

[limsy]

haha,uncle,u are funny

[Emmanuel-Phua]

ZZZZ
is the news going to end soon?

[|to7o|]

where can i watche the game ?

[jnce00]

I wonder if DLCW is thinking that he can "fan bai wei sheng" now.

[waile]

too much instructions from the sideline kills creativity from players. ;)

they shld put gag order on LYB:D

[Dolphin]

its hard to be angry... haha
we r all die hard fans, if not we wont be here... btw now its 19-12

thanks for the score update. actually, in a way it's a good thing to be deprived of the chance to watch it live. no risk of getting high blood pressure LOL

[extremenanopowe]

very obvious when ld smash to lcw backhand, he will come to the net. ;)

[abedeng]

LCW extending the game as long as possible.

[limsy]

4 more points,imposible

[waile]

I wonder if DLCW is thinking that he can "fan bai wei sheng" now.

what does that mean?:cool:

[jnce00]

GG, first set goes to Super Dan again.

[limsy]

and yet,game.
lcw need to change now,change.
we need change,lcw need change,haha
hope to see 3 set

[waile]

thanks for the score update. actually, in a way it's a good thing to be deprived of the chance to watch it live. no risk of getting high blood pressure LOL

haha... its equally as exciting... following the livescore...:D

[robin7]

Wondering why LD didn't change his shirt after the 1st game?

[abedeng]

LCW changes shirt, that 1st game took 26 minutes, pretty long.

[limsy]

what does that mean?:cool:

turn defeat into victory;)

[extremenanopowe]

ld looked tired, if lcw got spares, he shd be able to make it. depends on how hard lcw wants to play. ;) maybe just an exhibition game since not much money involved. ;)

[limsy]

Wondering why LD didn't change his shirt after the 1st game?

make him look more attractive:p

[waile]

Wondering why LD didn't change his shirt after the 1st game?

u wanna see him change?:D

[waile]

he is turning on the power again... hate that

[limsy]

hmm,looks like lindan will made his head to head against lcw to a 2:1 ratio

[waile]

wow, amazing smash for once...

[extremenanopowe]

ld smart. doesn't commit to smashing to much. ;)

[eaglehelang]

we can kiss sudirman cup finals goodbye
Haha, no finals were expected in the 1st place, just trying to steal a point (or 2) to avoid 3-0 whitewash. ;)

[waile]

hmm,looks like lindan will made his head to head against lcw to a 2:1 ratio

u mean for this year's H2H right... haha:D

[abedeng]

Lin Dan should have changed his shirt, now he had to call the mop brigade.

[waile]

Haha, no finals were expected in the 1st place, just trying to steal a point (or 2) to avoid 3-0 whitewash. ;)

dunno how to steal like this... keke:o

[extremenanopowe]

lcw shd continue to whip it. wasted. ;)

[extremenanopowe]

expect 3-0 la..... ;)

[limsy]

u mean for this year's H2H right... haha:D

i mean the overall h2h
now is lindan 11 lcw 6
if lindan win this
then 12:6 mah
the ratio is 2:1 lor;)

[waile]

arguably whenever they play, it brings out the best in them. LCW actually playing exceptionally well today but LD is just a tad faster...

[abedeng]

LCW's sideline range is missing.

[extremenanopowe]

lcw must be saying. nope. today tak jadi la... ;)

[waile]

i mean the overall h2h
now is lindan 11 lcw 6
if lindan win this
then 12:6 mah
the ratio is 2:1 lor;)

haha... u cant do that. its not maths literally. if its 12-6, its 12-6:P

[limsy]

Haha, no finals were expected in the 1st place, just trying to steal a point (or 2) to avoid 3-0 whitewash. ;)

haha,ya,as 20 percent of mas squad had injured,they should line

[jensen9173]

oh no look like LD is going to win MS, MAS lost 2-0:crying:

[waile]

haha... no way edi la... sei ler

[extremenanopowe]

ld concentration better today. whats their age anyway? wonder who will last longer in 3 years time. ;)

[Jessica]

Its almost all over for LCW..4-10 now...

[limsy]

haha... u cant do that. its not maths literally. if its 12-6, its 12-6:P

[kwun]

[Jessica]

Haiya..no need sei la...we not expect to win also..:D:D

[waile]

ok point taken, we leave it as that:)

[limsy]

good morning...

u say u will wake in 2 hours,but eventually u wake after 3 and half hours:p

[waile]

i want LCW to smash the shuttle... smash....smash

[abedeng]

arguably whenever they play, it brings out the best in them. LCW actually playing exceptionally well today but LD is just a tad faster...

Actually, no. LCW is playing quite well but not as accurate. And this isn't enough to beat the best opposition.

And LD is not really playing at his fastest yet.

[drifit]

these two great players showing me the beauty of badminton.
great placements, great strokes....

[waile]

its so energy sapping... just by watching also feels so tiring... hehe

[kwun]

the chessmatch continues.

[extremenanopowe]

oh.. ld looks heavier. ;) see if lcw can last. ;)

[drifit]

the crowds seem quiet today.
are they enjoying this show?
great performance

[jensen9173]

good morning...

We are almost sleep liao, anyway good morning, LCW gonna to lost:eek:

[waile]

these two great players showing me the beauty of badminton.
great placements, great strokes....

i agree 100%, its just beauty:D

[abedeng]

Now it is Lin Dan who is more in a hurry, brings LCW to within 1 pt.

[kwun]

i cannot believe it. i wake up, and then watches 4 simple errors by LD.

[waile]

i think LD is a bit frustrated coz LCW is returning more of his shots now... hmm

[jnce00]

Super Dan is starting to look tired, I wonder how long more can he stand DLCW's long rallies.

[limsy]

kwun jinx lindan,haha

[jensen9173]

the crowds seem quiet today.
are they enjoying this show?
great performance

No fight how to enjoy as they are expected LD will win

[waile]

i cannot believe it. i wake up, and then watches 4 simple errors by LD.

u shld have woken up much much earlier...:rolleyes:

[Emmanuel-Phua]

its back!!
its back!!!!

[limsy]

more closer now,the match should last longer than 50 minutes:)

[extremenanopowe]

good work from lcw moving him around. this shd be the way. not sure if he's tiring. or both? ;)

[waile]

hmmm come on LCW...work ure magic...

[Jyaki]

Very nice net kill from Lin, takes it to the interval 11-10.

[drifit]

good morning...
didnt notice that you are here.......:D

good very morning. enough sleep?

[extremenanopowe]

lcw seems to take easy when getting lucky break. he shd be aware to kill of those shots. wasted a few points on this. ;) too casual la... ;)

[jensen9173]

Seem LCW drink Tongkat Ali liao:D 11 - 12 now

[waile]

oh no... LCW starting to make his own mistakes edi...

[waile]

superb tactic.... just superb

[jnce00]

RTM1 back again.

[waile]

its back!!
its back!!!!

whats back?;) the telecast?

[kwun]

LCW has more patience than a stone statue!!

[extremenanopowe]

lcw have to put 2 gears up if he wants rubber. ;)

[abedeng]

LD not happy with the sideline call.

[waile]

LCW has more patience than a stone statue!!

haha, thats funny... stone statue:D

[extremenanopowe]

itd in la..... lindan tipu.. ;)

[kwun]

no linejudge issues for sure this time.

that does look a little bit out. can be call either side.

[waile]

LD not happy with the sideline call.

but the linesman damn sharp leh... first time seeing, looks like out lor

[jensen9173]

LCW must not lead LD by now and shld follow behind and take a win in game point:D

[kwun]

LD however, has the patience of a 3 yrs old.

[Jyaki]

Interesting, 14 all.

[waile]

its touch and go now... come on LCW, u can do it

[kwun]

this game is going to go up to 30 my friends.

[extremenanopowe]

mental game now. close one. ;)

[abedeng]

LCW forced to return short during that rally.

[extremenanopowe]

lcw has to be like a rock in every shot to return it. ;)

[kwun]

has it been a chessmatch the whole match?

[waile]

aaaaaaaaa...............

[kwun]

now that's LD!! what happened to *that* LD???

[waile]

this game is going to go up to 30 my friends.

30 minutes?.... looks like not realli lor...

[abedeng]

Critical 4 pt break for LD

[kwun]

so LD decides that he has enough, step on the gas, and wins two beautiful points.

even LYB give him the thumb.

[jensen9173]

oh no seem LCW cannot catch LD 19 - 14:crying:

[extremenanopowe]

difficult for lcw lah... but can enjoy lah... ;)

[waile]

LD is just too good... too good for LCW... today at least, u dont see LCW playing with fear of LD... cant blame him for not trying... wonder it'll become valid someday, lindanophobia

[extremenanopowe]

ld is dancing now. ;)

[Jyaki]

What an angle on the cross court smash from LD!

[kwun]

it is incredible the coverage these two manage to achieve. a lift by LD is a simple block return from LCW. that's just boggles the mind.

[abedeng]

LCW too confident that the shuttle will land out.

[extremenanopowe]

ld biggest enemy is eliminated. ;)

[jensen9173]

LD can fly now!!!!!

[kwun]

i don't believe LCW left that one!!! it is like 1 foot in. he seems to have given up??

[extremenanopowe]

lcw must have gone crazy. over confident that the shot was wide. how can this happen man ? gila. ;)

[waile]

haha... its **** la... again LCW lost.... haha LD restoring order again

[kwun]

come on LCW. fight!!!!

[Jessica]

wow did you see how lin dan was so happy that he won!?

[waile]

lcw must have gone crazy. over confident that the shot was wide. how can this happen man ? gila. ;)

hehe... gila... that quite sums it up:D

[extremenanopowe]

lcw miscalculated the game. taken too easy on some shot where he shd have kill it off. no wonder people call him super dan. ;)

4 Match points for Lin Dan

[vching]

Looks like Lin Dan was Da Ge after all....

It's the Swiss Open result in reverse, Lin Dan wins in 54 minutes, about 2 minutes longer than their last meeting.

LCW did reasonably well but let down by inaccurate shots.

CHN assured to the final even if Malaysia can somehow win th next 2 matches.

[kwun]

so Lin Dan beats Lee Chong Wei 21-16 / 21-16. the crowd erupts!

[Emmanuel-Phua]

there was one i think like the 19 or 20 point when ld lobbed the shot but lcw did not hit back?!

[vching]

The path to victory has narrowed down significantly for Malaysia. We have to bank on WMC and KKK/TBH delivering while Ng Hui Lin manages to pull it off due to a surprise pairing.

[LingLing]

Won!!!!!

Men's doubles next

[extremenanopowe]

I hope they come to a neutral ground to whip each other again. Are they coming? ;)

[kwun]

pretty grim for MAS now. they really are banking on MS/WS/MD to win. now that MS is gone, it is pretty much a goner.

lcw must have gone crazy. over confident that the shot was wide. how can this happen man ? gila. ;)
Yup...LCW had few misjudgement in the match which shouldn't be made..

LD said...he has home ground advantages, and both of them have played their best game. He also said LCW given him a lot of hardship to gain point.

Congrat LD, Well done LCW....
