All the Best to INDONESIA players..

[badMania]

XD R32
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Chen Hung-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi -- Nova/Butet should be able to defat the TWN pair, but from tomorrow onwards, it will be tough matches.

Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita vs Chris Adcocok/Gabrielle White -- ditto for Devin/Lita, whom I heard have improved a lot :rolleyes:

WS R32
Adriyanti Firdasari vs Kim Moon Hi -- a tough opener for Firda. She should have a slight edge.

MS R32
Arvind Bhat vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [4] -- Sony should progress.

Gong Weijie vs Simon Santoso [8] -- Simon has drawn the most difficult match in terms of facing a qualifier. He has a slight edge, given his ranking and experience, but, Gong can beat him.

WD R32
Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii vs Kim Mi Young/Jang Ye Na -- hopefully, with Grace's experience, INA's sole WD pair can at least progress to R16.

MD R16
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Michael Fuchs/Ingo Kindervater -- Kido/Hendra draw the GER pair for two times in a row. They should progress to at least QF.

Jurrit de Ruitter/Jurgen Wouters vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- I am pretty sure Rian/Yoke can record their first victory this year.

[badMania]

Although I expect all INA players to progress to R16, however, there's a high possibility that Simon Santoso and Adriyanti Firdasari could lose today.

[badMania]

As expected, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir completed their R32 match comfortably: 21-8, 21-18 in just 17 mins. Up next should be their bogey pair Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg.

[badMania]

The first upset of the day goes to the Polish XD pair of Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk as they beat the 7th-seed Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei in straight-sets: 21-14, 21-18. Nova/Butet might face this pair in the QF.

[mcdreamy]

Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita vs Chris Adcocok/Gabrielle White -- ditto for Devin/Lita, whom I heard have improved a lot :rolleyes:


looking at the stats, it doesnt look very convincing for me.

[mcdreamy]

22-20 for DevLin. finally they have quite good finishing after trailling behind most of the 1st game.

[Oldhand]

[mcdreamy]

an even shakier performance by DevLin in the 2nd game lead to british pair's victory and force them to rubber set...

[badMania]

Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita have finally beaten Chris Adcock/Gabrielle White in 3-sets: 22-20, 19-21 (despite leading most of the times), 21-14. An unconvincing performance and I think they will be beaten by Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen tomorrow.

INA better rely on the upcoming XD pairs of Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Puspita Dili, Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah and Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto.

[mcdreamy]

i agree with you badmania....
i give my full support towards Towi/Richi. i think they're the next Indonesian star pair......

[mcdreamy]

wang lin 9 vs 11 zhang beiwen at the 1st break????
is zhang beiwen really that good??

[mcdreamy]

10 18 now??????

[mcdreamy]

1st game to zhang beiwen, 21 10......
meanwhile, fu mingtian gives a quite hard fight towards lu lan in the 2nd game.
hwang hye youn wont give up easily from wmc.....

[Oldhand]

wang lin 9 vs 11 zhang beiwen at the 1st break????
is zhang beiwen really that good??
They are both from the same badminton lineage.
Singapore's Zhang Beiwen is an import from China.

[fd16n]

is there something wrong in LL vs Fu MT match? the score looks weird

[mcdreamy]

ai siiii........
no wonder......
perhaps 2 upsets in the making here..... two local favorites vs 2 chinese. both local gives hard times for chinese girls....

[Jo-ann]

omg..mew choo !!!

[Jo-ann]

nvm ! mew choo , win the 2nd set !!

[mcdreamy]

lu lan is taking the control now.......
while wang lin is really in deep trouble........

[mcdreamy]

wang linn forces rubber after trailling in most of the 2nd game......
fu ming tian is fighting back!!

[mcdreamy]

judith vs aditi 21 14, 21 19

[badMania]

Heavy casualties for KOR in XD.....and as usual, only Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung managed to progress to R16. The All-England runner-up Ko Sung Hyun/Ha Jung Eun lost to Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl. Yoo Yeon Seong/Kim Min Jung also lost surprisingly to Ruud Bosch/Paulien Van Dooremalen, while Han Sang Hoon/Jang Ye Na lost to Danny Bawa Chrisnanta/Yao Lei.

[mcdreamy]

those local favorites are really making upsets here......
wmc is most likely to force rubber set

[mcdreamy]

1st Big Upset For Today!!! Qualifier Fu Ming Tian Beat 7th Seed......

[CLELY]

Local hope Fu Mingtian stuns Lu Lan, 8-21 ; 21-9 ; 21-19!

[badMania]

Bye2 Lu Lan as Fu Ming Tian beat her in 3-sets: 8-21, 21-9, 21-19.

Meanwhile, Zhang Beiwen is also in a good-shape to create the second upset in WS as she leads 16-12 in the rubber-set.

With Lu Lan (and probably Wang Lin) gone from the first half of the draw, Zhou Mi should reach the Final.

[conan93]

wang lin won 10-21 21-18 21-19

[fd16n]

Zhang Beiwen fell short to overcome Wang Lin. but credit for the local duo fighting spirit n determination

[mcdreamy]

Seems Like Most Of The Seeded Players In Ws Having Hard Time Here.....
After Wang Lin N Lulan, Here's Saina's Turn........ As Well As Wmc

[jasonmarc]

LL Lost...! What happened ? Injury ? Food poisoning..?

LL is done, she will be left out by LYB just like ZL..........from WC 09

[jasonmarc]

WMC is so unstable......hope she managed to enter 2nd round....

[Oldhand]

Lu Lan has had an incredibly bad outing in Singapore :eek:
Hats off to Fu Ming Tian for a great, fighting display!

[mcdreamy]

seems like wmc vs hhy is very tiring game........

[mcdreamy]

both shares equal points from the 1st and 2nd game, as well as the 3rd one.....

[abedeng]

madbad's reverse PAW psychology works, really motivated HHY.

First win over WMC in more than a year, since last year's All-England.

[CLELY]

Firdasari advances to R/16, beat Kim Moon Hi 23-21 ; 21-15.

[mcdreamy]

Yaaaayyyyyy!!! Firda Won.........
Tomorrow Vs Saina Will Be A Hard Fight.............

[mcdreamy]

Yao Jie Is In Deep Trouble Here...... Dont You Think She's A Lot Bigger Compare To The Same Phase Last Year??? May Be That What Makes Her Slower. Not Tipycal Average Chinese Players Anymore, As Well As Xu Huaiwen......

[george@chongwei]

Lu Lan has had an incredibly bad outing in Singapore :eek:
Hats off to Fu Ming Tian for a great, fighting display!
oldhand, are u there in the staidum now? anymore latest report?:)

[george@chongwei]

[CLELY]

Another upset today, Wang Chen lost to Thai player Salakjit Ponsana 15-21 ; 21-15 ; 18-21.

[jasonmarc]

HHY seems at her top form now,....after she won over MKY in Sudirman cup.....

WMC still on her recovery in both her knee injury and her form......so work harder next time.......

[fd16n]

Lady Pi in trouble now trailing 5-14 in second set. Will she become the third seeded WS player that tumble on the first round?

[madbad]

Lady Pi in trouble now trailing 5-14 in rubber. Will she become the third seeded WS player that tumble on the first round?

Petya 17-6 Pi

[george@chongwei]

[ctjcad]

madbad's reverse PAW psychology works, really motivated HHY.

[george@chongwei]

it looks like a one sided match between rajiv and marc;)

[george@chongwei]

nguyen tien minh of vietnam won his match in 3 sets!:)

[mcdreamy]

too bad.....
i think he's going to have a major psychological problem after this......... unless he's a good and strong mentallty. but whoever defeated with those scores must've been very down after the game. it kinda makes you questioning yourself as an athlete.....

[george@chongwei]

wow, rajiv leading 18-15 now..

[george@chongwei]

[jasonmarc]

[george@chongwei]

livescore stucks?:mad:

[abedeng]

This is what you call a win-win situation. :D

That's what I said in the PAW thread, when Sandy questioned your rationale for, ahem, "dumping" your sweetheart ...... :p

[jasonmarc]

livescore stucks?:mad:

nope,...working fine for me....:p

[jasonmarc]

PSH is also in danger.........LTS still with old problem...fitness.....

[george@chongwei]

nope,...working fine for me....:p
i gotta check out what's happening.

[eaglehelang]

Wah, this tourney 1st round already so many retired , walkover. Not in form or not recovered from Sudirman Cup (that also for those who went).

[jasonmarc]

I wonder why LTS wanted to compete in SS event with this low fitness level.....

[mcdreamy]

OH DEAR..... what happen with SDK in the 2nd set??? trailing......

[eaglehelang]

I wonder why LTS wanted to compete in SS event with this low fitness level.....

Hiyaaa, KLRC sponsor him mah. + he's going for this year's WC, his last WC, need to play tourney to prepare.

[george@chongwei]

Wah, this tourney 1st round already so many retired , walkover. Not in form or not recovered from Sudirman Cup (that also for those who went).
these will make your life tougher huh?:D

[jasonmarc]

Hiyaaa, KLRC sponsor him mah. + he's going for this year's WC, his last WC, need to play tourney to prepare.

What..? He is going to play in WC......? He has to improve his fitness badly....

If he could iimprove his fitness,...he could go far........only he is a lazy type of player..............i think....:D:D

[george@chongwei]

What..? He is going to play in WC......? He has to improve his fitness badly....

yes, he's going to the WC. if not, want to send who?? tcs? arif? or yoyo?:rolleyes: or send you?:p
actually not his fitness problem. u should watch his matches more.;)

[mcdreamy]

SDK, c'mon!!!! you've to catch up!!!

[danielwong]

yes, he's going to the WC. if not, want to send who?? tcs? arif? or yoyo?:rolleyes: or send you?:p

[george@chongwei]

[danielwong]

or daniel ol boy also can win over our junior:D:D


definitely....Arif, TCS, CKB...:D:D

[george@chongwei]

definitely....Arif, TCS, CKB...:D:D
what about yoyo??;)

[george@chongwei]

it looks like arvind bhat have improve termendously after his rubber set match agaisnt lin dan in swiss open.. there should be something special in his match it looks like.

[danielwong]

what about yoyo??;)


yo yo is senior....must give him some face
:D:D

[badMania]

So far so good for INA as Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Simon Santoso (he received a WO) and Adriyanti Firdasari all progress to the next round.

It will be:
Hsieh Yu-Hsing vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [4]
Boonsak Ponsana vs Simon Santoso

and
Saina Nehwal [6] vs Adriyanti Firdasari

[mcdreamy]

it looks like arvind bhat have improve termendously after his rubber set match agaisnt lin dan in swiss open.. there should be something special in his match it looks like.

Dunno, coz im not watching the game live..... but looking at the 3rd game's result, it seems that SDK was just toying around with bhat......... or may be bhat just ran out of fuel/injured......

[eaglehelang]

What..? He is going to play in WC......? He has to improve his fitness badly....

If he could iimprove his fitness,...he could go far........only he is a lazy type of player..............i think....:D:D

Nope, he is not lazy type of player. And he has beaten Hsieh before, without problems. DUnno what's wrong with him & the other players in Spore SS, retire lah, walkover lah, normal strong one lose lah (Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei :eek:), got some bug maybe :p.

If not, LTS would not have qualified for WC (top 24 WR)- Hafiz also could not qualify ;). Club players normally dont get to go WC, this year we got the most club players & independents - MD uncles, LTS, KLRC WD.

Remember I mentioned it's LTS last WC? He's not some youngie, and at least better than our yoyo Hafiz lah :D

[jasonmarc]

yes, he's going to the WC. if not, want to send who?? tcs? arif? or yoyo?:rolleyes: or send you?:p
actually not his fitness problem. u should watch his matches more.;)

I remember LTS once played in TC, he managed to beat TH......with good skills, good fitness and his smashes were deadly........;)

but still eventually he wont leave any impact in WC...;);)

[jasonmarc]

............
Remember I mentioned it's LTS last WC? He's not some youngie, and at least better than our yoyo Hafiz lah :D

Yes, i agreed with u on this one...:D

[badMania]

Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii won easily in straight-sets. Up next should be Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda, although the fastly improving home pair of Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari could surprise the Japanese pair.

[mcdreamy]

eerrrrrr........ i dont think miyuki/satoko could be beaten by the sing pair easily..............

[george@chongwei]

this thai wd pair amazes me..:eek:

[eaglehelang]

but still eventually he wont leave any impact in WC...;);)

To get to go also difficult, normally BAM choose BAM players to go WC although may be ranked lower than KLRC players. That's what happened last time.;) LTS not expected to 'leave impact', can go already minor miracle :D

[jasonmarc]

Uncles is in danger now...lost 1st game...trailing in the 2nd game.................

Uncles beaten this Sg pair in recent India Open Final.....and now its the reveng time for the Sg pair..........

[badboypedi]

it looks quite good for german md hopp/schöttler :) hope they can beat the english men..

[eaglehelang]

Uncles is in danger now...lost 1st game...trailing in the 2nd game.................

Uncles beaten this Sg pair in recent India Open Final.....and now its the reveng time for the Sg pair..........

Haiseh, our uncles out already, lost in rubber. Was hoping to watch them on tv in later matches. :( But the younger uncle pair(since some ppl dont like semi-uncle nick) got thru :D

[jasonmarc]

Our uncles seems played well in Pahang Open to be champion...but now ......sigh....

and they going to try their fortune in WC 09 also...right...?

[eaglehelang]

Yup, both uncle pairs are going WC, supposed their last WC

[mcdreamy]

Up next should be Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda, although the fastly improving home pair of Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari could surprise the Japanese pair.

yepp, the singapore pair is indeed made a surprise by beating the more experienced OG 2008 semifinalist...... another upset in the 1st round..........

[mcdreamy]

loking at the stats between lars/jonas vs hwang/shin, seems that korean MD's playing style always finds difficulties when it comes to facing danish playing style.

[jasonmarc]

Good to know...TBS/GTC and LCW advanced to 2nd round......well done..!

[badMania]

Look's like KOR's experimentation in MD fails yet again after Hwang Ji Man/Shin Baek Cheol and Cho Gun Woo/Han Sang Hoon lost to Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen and Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen respectively. They still have yet to find a solid enough 2nd pair to cover Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae.

well, KOR is not the only one that cant get a good second pair. MD is so open and competitive!

[Taydzuii]

nguyen tien minh of vietnam won his match in 3 sets!:)

Tomorrow, Tien Minh will have a tough match against Chong Wei.

Chong Wei is very talented and Singapore is not so far from Malaysia but we hope that Tien Minh will get at least one set.
Anyway, Tien Minh is a black horse since his style is not academic but very efficient.

:):):)

agree..other pairs are not so 'DOMINANT' besides jjs/lyd

Normally, new pair are more dangerous......they ususally show good reasult in their first few tournaments.......before their opponents study their style of play......it depends on how consistant they can be ............:cool:

[jasonmarc]

that was when they are younger..what about now?;):p

And...they are still sharp after 10 years..............PG still winning SS tournaments and TH also just won himselves a GP in India.......;)

[jasonmarc]

Biggest upset of the day......................:crying::crying::crying:

[badMania]

Ooopss....the dominating KOR pair has lost yet again in the first round to another CHN pair Guo Zhendong/Xu Chen (unexpectedly) in straight-sets. Seems like CHN pairs start to re-establish their superiority over KOR pairs ;)

[jasonmarc]

great result!! i am pround of this chinese md. but please: tomorrow, you have to lose against koo kien keat and tan boon heong

Isegrim,.....u r so funny.......:D:D:D

[jasonmarc]

Helang will be very busy prepairing the up sets list for today.......so many of them.....and so shocking......hehhee

[badMania]

Well, KOR has a bad day in XD, WD and now MD.

They only have Park Sung Hwan, Hwang Hye Youn, Lee Kwung Won/Lee Hyo Jung, Ha Jun Eun/Kim Min Jung (these 2 WD pairs have byes today) and Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung left for tomorrow. They still have 2 other MD pairs, one of whom is currently playing Sakamoto/Ikeda and the other one will entertain Boe/Mogensen shortly.

[eaglehelang]

Helang will be very busy prepairing the up sets list for today.......so many of them.....and so shocking......hehhee

Nope, i retire from posting the "Upset list". If do also, just a rough draft, for my own viewing pleasure. Let the others do if they want.;)

Singapore hot mah, like Msia, this year much hotter than last year, Koreans cannot stand, their weather cold one. :p:D

[huangkwokhau]

There ıs a chance that no Korea MD left at all.....

Hiyaa, Hauge, teasing only ;). Oops, Kwon/Kim won in duece. At least one Korea MD left.

[badMania]

Kim Ki Jung/Kwon Yi Goo survived 23-21 in the rubber-set. Relief for Coach Ha. Meanwhile, the All-England 2009 Runners-Up Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong are also staring at a defeat, trailing 7-11 at the interval of the rubber-set.

[RedShuttle]

What a daring move! Xu Chen gave XD away to keep CHN alive in MD.

[AlanY]

What a daring move! Xu Chen gave XD away to keep CHN alive in MD.
not to mention that Gong WeiJie's fake injury with an easy path for Simon, and Lu Lan's gift to the host as the honourable guest. the list go on!

[badMania]

Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen make sure that Korea only has 1 MD pair left in the draw as they triumphed in rubber-set.

[Jagdpanther]

Off topic: Indeed, both were very young at that time. Gade was starting to reach his peak whilst on the other hand Taufik was just starting to put his footprints in the professional badminton circuit. Their level of play & tactics were also quite obvious.
However, despite winning a few SS titles recently, Gade has never really been the same after his knee injury and surgery, back in 2001-2002.

[suetyan]

Gong Wei Jie is not injured, but he is sicked. He is not accustomed to the weather in Singapore

Hats off to you george... I was seriously having goosebumps when I was watching this game. Very old and omg, i didnt know both of these players were THIS SKILLED. Im sorry LD fans, but he is nothing compared to PG in his prime (IMO). OMG thanks man ! And taufik, what can I say, was, still is and will always be my idol <3

[badMania]

LOL...and I thought only INA players cannot play during the cold winter months when the Korea, AE, and Swiss SS are usually held.

It's not AlanY who's making these up.
He's being sarcastic, if anything ;)

This is the most lame excuse I've heard. I never heard of players from countries like Denmark and Finland complaining about the tropical weather.

Petya beating the **** out of Hongyan Pi:

Wed 6/10/2009 2:20 PM WS
Petya NEDELCHEVA-Hongyan PI [5]
21-18 21-11

YES! YES! YES!

[Loh]

I was happy that our Singapore team put up a relatively good showing, the best of which was when small build Fu Mingtian defeated her much taller and higher-ranked China opponent Lu Lan (7) , 8-21, 21-9, 21-19 in the WS.

In the adjacent court, Fu's teammate Zhang Beiwen almost beat another better-known China player, Wang Lin (3), just losing out in the end despite leading for most part of the rubber, 21-10, 18-21, 19-21. It must have given WL's coach, Zhang Ning, much anxiety throughout.

Other notable wins from Singapore include brothers Hendri and Hendra's MD defeat of perennial Malaysian veteran opponents Choong TF and Lee WW (8) 21-9, 17-21, 21-10; Shinta Mulia Sari and Yao Lei's convincing WD victory over Japan's pair of Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna (6) 21-15, 21-15; Xing Aiying's WS win over Denmark's Nana Brosolat Jensen 2-7, 21-18 and Danny Bawa Chrisnanta and Yao Lei's XD conquer of Korea's Han Sang Hoon and Jang Ye Na 23-21, 21-18.

[badMania]

I think Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari will rise up to the top 10 (now WR14) pretty soon. They have the age advantage and of course Yao Lei being a World Junior Champions last year.

[AlanY]

What do you mean by these? :confused:


come on Alan....!! why ıs always excuses when Chına players lost to other players...very typıcal chınese fans...just accept ıt...
that was meant to be a joke, alright?

[robin7]

(...) In the adjacent court, Fu's teammate Zhang Beiwen almost beat another better-known China player, Wang Lin (3), just losing out in the end despite leading for most part of the rubber, 21-10, 18-21, 19-21. It must have given WL's coach, Zhang Ning, much anxiety throughout. (...)
ZBW shoud have beaten WL.
