:):):)
.

Almost all (if not ALL) INA players will be facing tough opponents.
Worst case, more than half of the squad will be eliminated tomorrow. :o

But let's get rid of that from mind. Always have to be optimistic.
Best of luck for all INA players! :)

There is a possibility that all INA's WS can be wiped out on Wednesday :( ..... I hope not, but the possibility is there....

The XD match has started. Wondering why the forum is so quiet

Good Luck for All China Players...

Full schedule for today.

XD R32
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Wang Chia-Min/Wang Pei Rong -- no question, Nova/Butet should breeze through.

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Wong Pei Tty vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa -- very tight at the moment and evenly matched. It's good enough if AG/Vita can progress to the next round in their first time being paired together.

Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl [4] vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita -- first round exit for Devin/Lita.

Ruud Bosch/Paulien Van Dooremalen vs Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- I am quietly confident that Fran/Pia will progress.

Ko Sung Hyun/Ha Jung Eun vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto -- the KOR pair has the edge.

WS R32 -- I predict that most (if not all) INA players will be eliminated.

MS R32
Simon Santoso [8] vs Jan O Jorgensen -- on paper, Simon should have an edge, but, his performance in the Singapore SS last week was disastrous. It's likely another first-round exit beckons.

Lin Dan [3] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono -- learning experience for Andre from the maestro.

Anand Pawar vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [4] -- Sony should win.

Andrew Smith vs Taufik Hidayat [5] -- ditto for Taufik.

The XD match has started. Wondering why the forum is so quiet

may be bcoz it's stil morning (in Indonesia n neighborhood countries)....... people are still malay2an lah...... :D :D

YEAY FOR HENDRA & VITA! woohoo

anyone watching it live?

WD R32
Anneke Feinya Agustine/Annisa Wahyuni vs Ng Hui Lin/Woon Khe Wei -- MAS to take this one. Learning experience for Anneke/Annisa in their first SS tourney.

Jenny Wallwork/Gabrielle White vs Nadya Melati/Nathalia Poluakan -- Nadya/Nathalia to win.

Petya Nedeltcheva/Anastasia Russkih vs Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati [8] -- a tricky match for Mel/Shendy and I hope they take it and progress to at least QF.

Komala Dewi/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia vs Ha Jung Eun/Kim Min Jung [4] -- the KOR pair to win for sure.

Imogen Bankier/Donna Kellogg vs Rani Mundiasti/Jo Novita -- a tight match expected and I hope the ex-Pelatnas pair wins this one.

Pia Bernadet Zebadiah/Debby Susanto vs Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii -- Kristin (the nickname for Nitya)/Grace to extend their good form!

rubber set for flandi/anastasia vs. the koreans

Zhou Mi trailing 12-4. upset in the making??

what happened to our Singapore Open queen? Sato Sayaka is leading at 14-6

MD R32
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Michael Fuchs/Ingo Kindervater -- yet another encounter with the GER pair and I hope this time it will be won in straight-sets :rolleyes:

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya vs Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan -- this is the 3rd time these 2 pairs meet. The current-score is split at 1-1. Expect a tight battle and the SIN pair holds a slight edge.

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah [8] vs Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra -- a tough draw for AG/Alvent.

Luluk Hadiyanto/Joko Riyadi vs Chen Hung-Ling/Lin Yu-Lang -- the TPE pair has improved significantly and I am sure they will perform again today.

Nathan Robertson/Anthony Clark vs Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan [7] -- despite being seeded, I don't think Bona/Ahsan can beat the in-form Robertson/Clark, fresh from their SIN SS triumph last week.

Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Kristof Hopp/Johannes Schoettler -- a manageable tie for Rian/Yoke and I hope they fully make use of the opportunity to reach R16 again.

Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun [5] -- no question, Fu/Cai to take this one and they have an easy draw all the way till SF.

Ruud Bosch/Koen Ridder vs Anggun Nugroho/Rendra Wijaya -- Anggun/Rendra have a good chance to progress to R16.

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Wong Pei Tty vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa -- very tight at the moment and evenly matched. It's good enough if AG/Vita can progress to the next round in their first time being paired together.

Vita always has good records when she is pairing up with a new partner. hope they can maximize their chances here...... ;) :cool:

Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl [4] vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita -- first round exit for Devin/Lita.

i hope DevLit prove us wrong...... ;)


MS R32WS R32 -- I predict that most (if not all) INA players will be eliminated.

i expect some upset from our experienced WS players here........ :cool: :D

MS R32
Simon Santoso [8] vs Jan O Jorgensen -- on paper, Simon should have an edge, but, his performance in the Singapore SS last week was disastrous. It's likely another first-round exit beckons.

another points deduction for Simon???? :crying:

waw.... zhou mi is having trouble facing a qualifier???
guess xxf has emptied her stamina back at ASOSS final.......

Hendra Aprida GUNAWAN/Vita MARISSA vs Mohd Fairuzizuan MOHD TAZARI/Pei Tty WONG 21-19 21-16

Flandi/Anastasia come on

Okay, I will try to be very objective for my prediction of INA's WS.

WS R32
Xie Xingfang [8] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- I don't think Maria has ever beaten Xie before? Plus, she has not really fully recovered, so, it's hard to expect her to beat Xie.

Rachel Van Cutsen vs Rizky Amelia Pradipta -- if any INA player is to win, then, the new Pelatnas player probably has the best luck in terms of drawing the NED player. However, she might be inexperienced enough to beat Rachel.

Adriyanti Firdasari vs Yao Jie -- expect a long 3-sets match with Firda losing at the end.

Pi Hongyan [5] vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti -- luckily for Febe, Pi hasn't been in good form lately. With the help of the crowd, the Djarum player could upset Pi. However, I will still go for Pi to win the match.

Maria Elfira Christina vs Wang Chen [4] -- another seeded player to face and I think Fira will also succumb after a good fight.

WD R32
Anneke Feinya Agustine/Annisa Wahyuni vs Ng Hui Lin/Woon Khe Wei -- MAS to take this one. Learning experience for Anneke/Annisa in their first SS tourney.

why i smell upset here??? :D:cool:


Petya Nedeltcheva/Anastasia Russkih vs Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati [8] -- a tricky match for Mel/Shendy and I hope they take it and progress to at least QF.

dont you know that Mel/Shendy were withdrawn??? Shendy just came out from hospital on saturday. she cant compete while recovering from her desease.

problem with my livescore. quick updates please.. :) :) :)

Flandi lost to Korean pair, hope its not the trend for Indonesian camp. whiile ZM forcing a rubber set

Maria Kristin is on Court!!!!!!
im nervous here..........

Yeon Seong YOO/Min Jung KIM vs Flandi LIMPELE/Anastasia RUSSKIKH 18-21 21-18 21-16

dont you know that Mel/Shendy were withdrawn??? Shendy just came out from hospital on saturday. she cant compete while recovering from her desease.

They are still in the draw at the moment. So, we shall see....

Maria collect her first point 1-3, 4-6 now lets see how she perform here. While all XD is over time to focus to WS.

MKY is trailing...... not good. better catch up Mar!!!!
GO MARIA GO!!!!

18-11 Fir Xie????
Definitely Not A Good Sign..........
Sigh..........................

match point for Sato Sayaka, ZM is in trouble!!

Wow...KOR has really come back strong after a dismal outing in Singapore..

And ZM is going to lose..........ist big up set....

biggest upset!!! Sato Sayaka bt ZM!!!

Biggest Upset For The Day!!!!
Last Week's Queen Is Beaten By A Qualifier..........

Sayaka SATO knocks out the #1 seed Zhou Mi 21-11 16-21 21-19!!!
A Juicy 22pts in the PAW

Common...Pradipta.....

ZM lost to Sayaka Sato, anybody pick her in PAW? while ZL beat Fu in 2 sets

SIGH........
MKY lost 1st set.........

Zhou Mi - Sato: 1-2 The result show that Zhou shouldn't joined this tournament once again. Well, she seem to be exhausted after AVIVA 2009!!!!!

i better prepare myself for MKY's lost over xxf here...........
:(

Seems like Maria is giving XXF hard time in 2nd game 16-16

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........... .................

MKY and Rizki Pradipta lost

MKY lost to xxf 21 17, 23 21.
hate this!!!

blame her injury again..

simon will follow maria;s step too..lets see..bad performance

No he is not. Simon is getting upset now; trailling Jan 15-5. He will take this set and play smarter on the 3rd set.

18-5 for Simon....
He's really on fire....
not giving Jan a chance to fight back....
hope he can still play like this on the decider...

Simon took the 2nd set 21-8.
It's now 3rd set on 4-2 for Simon ...

7000 poits deduction for MKY which going to make her rank drop.
i dunno if she will be qualified for WC after her rank dropped.

7000 poits deduction for MKY which going to make her rank drop.
i dunno if she will be qualified for WC after her rank dropped.

:eek:....Was she a runner up last year...?

15-14 for Simon..the game is really tight now...

:eek:....Was she a runner up last year...?

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
dont you know that MKY was last years's DIOSS runner up??
beating zhang ning in semifinal but went down to zhu lin in final.

:cool::cool:

::eek:: ::eek::
wow!!! Ina GD pair is KESETANAN!!!!!
LEADING 17-2?????

Simon won the match. while in court 1 Anneke/Annisa seems in annihilation mode going 17-2 over WKW/NHL. Wifqi/Afiat forcing a rubber game

Just like what I predicted; Simon will win over Jan.... :)

Simon SANTOSO [8] - Jan O JORGENSEN 16-21 21-8 21-19

::eek:: ::eek::
wow!!! Ina GD pair is KESETANAN!!!!!
LEADING 17-2?????

After kesetanan, then they are foya-foya points..
merasa di atas angin...
from 17-2 to 20-14....
not good at all.......]
i dont like this kinda mentality...
you have to focus..focus..focus....

Just like what I predicted; Simon will win over Jan.... :)
yeah, barely pull through

MK/HS looks comfortable with their game right now; leading 14-6 over German pairs.

yeah, barely pull through

Simon vs Park Sung Hwan will be an even harder game for him.

After kesetanan, then they are foya-foya points..
merasa di atas angin...
from 17-2 to 20-14....
not good at all.......]
i dont like this kinda mentality...
you have to focus..focus..focus....

yepp!! not good at all..... they shd remain focus and not just giving away points like that........ :rolleyes::rolleyes:
they must strengthen their mentallity........ :mad::mad:

Anneke/Annisa win and bit exceed expectation of badmania and wil face SIN or TPE pair

Anneke Feinya AGUSTINE/Annisa WAHYUNI vs Hui Lin NG/Khe Wei WOON 21-14 21-15

Anneke/Annisa win and bit exceed expectation of badmania and wil face SIN or TPE pair


:eek::eek::eek:
just looked at the draw n realized that their next opponent should be the 3rd seed from taipei......
:crying::crying::crying:

hope they can give a hard fight over the taipei pair.

both Ina XD pairs are also KESETANAN!!!
DevLit managed to catch up and take 7 poits in a row to take the 1st set 21-14.
while FranPi is still leading 16-14 in the 1st set.

Markis KIDO [1]/Hendra SETIAWAN - Michael FUCHS/Ingo KINDERVATER 21-10 21-14

Fran Kurniawan TENG/Pia Zebadiah BERNADET - Ruud BOSCH/Paulien VAN DOOREMALEN
21-8 21-15

Devin/Lita is losing, trailing 7-17 from DEN's pair. Seeing from both tournament (Indonesia Super Series and Aviva Singapore Super Series), I don't think this pair is good enough to compare with other world XD (Nova/Lily, Lee/Lee, Zheng Bo/Ma Jin, etc). Is there any probability that PBSI will split this pair?

what happen on court 1?? the live score stuck only on court 1.......

what happened to the match between Zhang Yawen/Xie Zhongbo and Kellog/Clark? livescore stucked at 22-21 in 3rd set :confused:

Want to know too. gonna be one who is watching on court to know as there is no live on tv / internet??

already over. xie/zhang won over clark/kellog 21-16, 24-22. guess one of them might be injured or protest during the 'stuck' time.....

AG/Alvent stretch the 8 seed to 3rd set

Wang Lin v Salakkjit Ponsana 21-15 21-17

tommy_bun told me that there was some controversial call. both pair insist n protested but the umpire gave the score to the chinese pair.....

The only upset so far:

Sayaka SATO http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/JPN.gif - http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/HKG.gif Mi ZHOU [1] : 21-11 16-21 21-19 :eek:

2nd upset of the day

Hendra AG/Alvent YC beat CTF/LWW[8] 16-21 21-18 21-17

Hendra Aprida GUNAWAN/Alvent YULIANTO vs Tan Fook CHOONG [8]/Wan Wah LEE 16-21 21-18 21-17

may be bcoz it's stil morning (in Indonesia n neighborhood countries)....... people are still malay2an lah...... :D :D

2nd upset of the day

Hendra AG/Alvent YC beat CTF/LWW[8] 16-21 21-18 21-17

Andre Tedjono......fight till the end.....dont give up...!

The uncles lost....like this how to play in WC 09......!

2nd upset of the day

Hendra AG/Alvent YC beat CTF/LWW[8] 16-21 21-18 21-17

The uncles lost....like this how to play in WC 09......!
the ina pairs is the hard smasher, plus they are much younger than our uncles(already called uncles some more) and what do you expect from the 'friendly' ina crowd in the stadium?

For the 1st time since 2nd game, Maria FK ahead 8-7.

Firda needs another 4 points to take 1st set. 17-12. Come on!

Firda took 1st set 21-14. Finish it straight set please...:D

Maria FK leading by 3 points at the break. 11-8

Interesting match between Pi/MFK and YJ/AF, huh?

Adriyanti Firdasari following Febe as she beat Yao Jie straight set 21-14 21-16. Very good. :D

Yup, very good for my PAW ..... :)

Wang Chen took 1st set 21-12. She can choose following XXF who beat MKY or Lady Pi who was beaten by MKF. She is facing MEC now. :p

Ng Wei so far behind Chan YK, hmmmm........

A good start for Rijal/Debby as they take the first set 21-18. Hopefully the good performance continues in the second half.

I wonder what must be going through Hafiz Hashim's mind now that he is slated to meet Chong Wei again.

"Why does it always have to be me?" :o

Rijal/Debby wasted 4 match pts as the KOR pair forces a rubber-set :mad:

Try reading (and posting!) in the relevant forum :)

yeah, too bad they can't win it in straight games.

that's life and that's the life that all badminton shuttler have to go through;)

lol, i'm not in the stadium now, bro:D;)

by the way, i just know that rtm 1 will have the highlights of today's 1st round ina open at 11.30pm:D stay tuned;)

Too bad no up set from INA xd,....but maybe from Ahsan/Bona....they are playing Singapore Open Champion now.....

Rijal/Debby couldn't capitalize their lead...
And now they're paying for it. :(

lol lol:D maybe next time

Bona/Ahsan took the 1st set.
C'mon, don't play-play.
5th gear from the beginning of 2nd!

19-13. Look good (from the statistic :p). C'mon Taufik.

U just can't let Robertson/Clark go on the offensive and win 5-6 pts in a row. Now, Bona/Ahsan are paying the price for it.

Unless the INA pair can turn thing around, it's not looking good.

Still perform below par from WMC......

No hope for Bona/Ahsan I fear as Robertson/Clark already establish a quick 6-1 lead at the start of the third-set. It's the beginning stage of each set that they need to be careful and they failed to do that in the second and third sets.

yes, i think NR/AC have got their attacking play started right from the beginning of the 2nd and 3rd game.....they are leading 9 - 2 now....:eek:

England MD will be a bane for INA and MAS MD for the foreseeable future, I guess.

Well, as long as Tan Kim Her is still in the BAE employment at least.

The thing with Clark/Robertson is that their service returns really put a lot of pressure into you.

oh man, what happen to mew choo???
camon mew choo

Mohd Ahsan is injured right now. I am not sure if he can continue the match.....but apparently they do :rolleyes:

WMC is yoyo~ing~~

Yes, they do have good services and service returns.......;)

England MD will be a bane for INA and MAS MD for the foreseeable future, I guess.

Well, as long as Tan Kim Her is still in the BAE employment at least.

I believe its the same style as Koo/Tan?? That's why most INA pairs cannot adapt to this kinda of attacking play.

ouch...mew choo...trailing 17-19 now.

ah choo had nasi gila yesterday lah.. ;)

another upset at the WS 1st round again?

any update???
my live score hang!!:mad:

WMC is yoyo~ing~~

Yes, she is going to lose this one........:( ...

KOR match point!

England MD will be a bane for INA and MAS MD for the foreseeable future, I guess.

Well, as long as Tan Kim Her is still in the BAE employment at least.
England MD... You mean Robertson/Clark only, or Blair/Adcock & other pairs as well?

WMC is disappointing~~~

maybe she had a quarrel with someone is it? so no mood to play?? betul?? ;)

Bye bye WMC!21-18,21-17 .............

abedeng, how would Clark/Robertson fare against CHN or KOR pairs?

any update???
my live score hang!!:mad:
wong mew choo lost in straight games:mad:

Game over. 21-10 in the Rubber-set to Robertson/Clark. Mohd Ahsan is injured right at 9-3.
