Nguyen TM remind me of Anup Sridhar, not from the style of play. Both are a good players that some time when they are in the form, they can defeat top players. (both also had defeat Taufik H once) But lack consistency to remain playing that good in each tournaments they follow.

Tough matches awaiting survivors in INA camp...

Sony vs G.I. (hah!) PSH: last time Sony won in rubber. PSH surely wants revenge. 50:50.

Kido/Hendra vs Hendri/Hendra: AFAIK, Kido/Hendra always have hard time dealing with them. Plus, they are playing in their home. Fifty-fifty as well.

Nitya/Grace vs Wong/Chin: 40:60. Last year, they lost to the MAS gals...

Nova/Lilyana vs Robert/Nadiezda: 60:40.

All the best for our players! :)

Sony : PSH : Like you said too close to call. 50:50

Kido/Hendra VS Hendri/Hendra : It will be tough but Kido/Hendra will win.

Nova/Lilyana VS Robert/Nadiezda : Indonesia pair to win but cannot underestimate the Polish. They are the best Europe XD after English and denmark pairs.

Nitya/Grace VS Wong/Chin : Hope Nitya/Grace can suprise us. But they still had chance to win . Nice draw for them too.

Just stopped at the border gates for some shuteye. Will step into Singapore at daybreak.

Anyway, interesting to note the number of heavy favourites gone down by the wayside. Equally interesting to see Sudirman Cup non-performers (Boonsak, NTM, SG MD, to name a few) rising to the fore. Maybe we would see new names with maiden super series victories.

More upsets are expected as the crowd's likely to get behind the underdogs.
Of all the CHN WS, Jiang's the most steady and the most crowd likeable. WL, WYH and XXF continue to struggle to their wins. WYH's weakness has been exposed by JPN WS but not noted by XAY.
ZM's speed is getting to be a liability and I wouldn't be surprised she exits today.
NTM's gonna be seen as Spore 's adopted son but BCL won't be alone. He will also have the CHN crowd behind him.
CJ is not going to have it easy against JOJ who's superfit and hungry and more experienced than last year's TC.
The Doubles events are going to be very open. It's anybody's guess.

SDK vs PSH, hard to predict who'll win this time...Both SDK and PSH pushed hard effort to overcome Arvind Bhat and Chan Yan Kit respectively at opening round two days ago but their performance looked better yesterday with straight-sets win.

XD QF
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Kostiuczyk -- Nova/Butet should take this one, nevertheless, they should be be careful as the Polish pair is known for creating upsets. They had beaten He Hanbin/Yu Yang a number of times in the past 2 years and this tourney, they also beat Xu Chen/Zhao Yunlei. It will be a disaster if Nova/Butet were to lose this one....

MS QF
Park Sung Hwan vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [3] -- Sony is still struggling to find his best form and it will be difficult for him to beat Park.

WD QF
Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui [1] vs Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii -- Nitya/Grace have done well to achieve the QF target. Now, it will be a bonus if they can beat the top-seed. Nitya/Grace should also rise to the top 10 pretty soon.

MD QF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya -- it's so obvious that Kido/Hendra are not in form, as they struggled to beat 2 GER pairs. I don't think they can beat the fitter Hendri/Hendra.

Hmm, so no S'pore Open title for WYH. If WYH doesn't win the upcoming INA Open, does that mean she won't be included in the CHN's team WC Women's Singles squad (recall RedShuttle mentioned the remaining WS spots will be determined by the upcoming S'pore and INA Open results)??..:confused:

If Kido/Hendra are in their best form, this year will offer the best opportunity to take the Singapore SS title, given that they have superior H2H against the remaining pairs in the draw. Unfortunately, Kido's niggling injury means that they will have to fight for it one game at a time, starting with today's tight battle against Hendri/Hendra :mad:

I do hope that Kido/Hendra can still win this one and take the Singapore SS title off their "next-to-win" list, which also includes: Korea, Japan, Swiss, and All-England SS. They have already won: Malaysia, Indonesia (while it was not a SS 4 years ago), China Masters, China, Hong Kong, Denmark and French.

Nova/Butet take the first set 21-17. Meanwhile, Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen await the winner of the match between Kido/Hendra and Hendri/Hendra. At current form, I am skeptical of Kido/Hendra's chance against Paaske/Rasmussen (even if they do beat Hendri/Hendra today) :o

Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen become the latest seed to be eliminated after getting beaten by Chen Hung-Ling/Lin Yu-Lang in rubber-sets. They woke up too late at 14-20, only managing to score 5 more pts.

Again, if Kido/Hendra are in top-form, they will be salivating at the remaining draw....definitely a great chance of winning their first Singapore SS title.

Now it is WPT who is making more errors, even on return of serve.

Anup needs divine inspiration.

We are not surprised by this. I predict that Kido/Hendra will lose to the fitter SIN pair.

abedeng
06-12-2009, 08:17 AM
Kido does do jump smashes sometimes but the sting is missing.

If he moves to frontcourt, he tends to make errors.

But still, World and Olympic pedigree does show up and now they are back on top.

abedeng
06-12-2009, 08:19 AM
That last rally exposed Kido, he can't bend to take the dropshot.

Thais in good shape.

From leading 20-17 to losing the first set 20-22. The SIN pair has the advantage. 19 pts for PAWers....

Kido/Hendra lead 11-10 at the break. Every time they have a 3-4 pts lead, the SIN pair will close it down. Does not bode well.....

The title is almost gift-wrapped for Kido/Hendra if they can beat Paaske/Rasmussen tomorrow. But, I am still not convinced of Kido's condition.

Plus, the Danes were tough mentally, being able to beat Rian/Yoke yesterday, despite the heart-breaking 28-30 loss of the first set.

Hi everyone! I have a badminton blog Badminton Video Magazine that I'm looking for people to help me keep it up to date. Specifically I'm looking for someone to cover the women's events as I don't really know much about those events. We never cover the women's players and it's really a shame. If you're interested in writing on my site please visit here

http://www.badmintonvm.com/job-opportunities/

We're writing about the Singapore Super Series right now, and we will be writing about the Indonesian Super Series coming up soon too. We also write about other tournaments, but since this is a Singapore Super Series thread, that's the main priority right now : )

Well the English pair of Clark/Robertson annihilated Kido/Sentiawan in just two sets with the latter barely making it to the double figure in the last set! Men, the English pai was really sharp and tight making the Indonesians play a defensive rather than the usual attack game they have!

Uh, whatta a game.
