DRAW Philippines (GP Gold) 2009

You know, the Philippines better organize a Philippine International Series or International Challenge in addition to this BWF Gold GP event... Looking at this draw, their local players can be wiped out in day one... A country needs real badminton glory [however small] for it to be fanatical about the sport of badminton... Just look at this draw, no way the Philippines can get any glory here... With no glory, no money, and no fame, nobody want to take professional badminton seriously there... :(

IMHO, having a Philippine International Series, will give a chance for players at the level of the Asunctions win the XD title and maybe even the MS and WS... Because Philippine players will encounter mild competition from Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and maybe some young up-and-comers from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan...

So much talent but So So So much politics. :)

So many byes in WD and XD disciplines indicate few participant here...
Unfavourable draw for Nitya/Greysia, they will face Gao Ling/Wei Yili at second round.

hmm no LCW,KKK&TBH,Lin Dan,Fu & Cai,Kido & Setiawan and the rest of the Korean squad are not joining????!!!!! this is tooo sad....:crying:

I'm not surprise if the pair Gao & Wei will not gonna make it on the last minute......well I hope I am wrong.....:(

im waiting to watch this event

Well, there has to be some national events. If they have an International Series or Future Series where it is mostly local players, then how is it different from the national events?

IMHO, having a GP Gold Event will allow the spectators to watch high quality badminton and nice-looking players in their own country.

..Krisna meant to write, Philippines should have international series/challenge tourneys to provide "mild" competition to the local Philippines' talents. Meaning, just enough international flavor but at the same time just enough chances for the local talents to get titles in order to promote the sport locally.
A GP or GP Gold tourney's competition will probably be too much to handle for the local Philippines talents.
National events won't have international/foreign talents.

Winning against a foreigner feels different, you know... The crowd can pool their 'nationalistic' energy on their own player... Oh, and I did not advocate eliminating this Gold GP event, but in my opinion, the Philippines should prioritize an International Series or something in that range... :p

Yes. Exactly! ;)

Yes, Krisna, thank you for the constructive and objective observation! You are 100% right and we hope (and pray) that our badminton leaders :mad:wake up and inspire future Filipino badminton players. Well, as a Filipino badminton addict (otherwise known as a "BADDICT" hehehe :D) we will watch the Philippine Open from DAY 1! We hope to see you there!

I have to write an article about it, but I must admit there are a lot of names that do not ring a bell...

Although i hope that some local players can advance at least some rounds and surprise us all :)

I see. Good point. I suppose those sort of events would be regional in nature, and we could see a good mix of juniors from MAS, INA, SIN, THA or VIE and maybe national players from LAO, CAM or BRU, perhaps AUS, NZL along with the best from PHI.

This will pique the interest of quite many badminton fans.

I could foresee the following clashes in MD QF:
Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan [1] vs Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya [8]

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah [4] vs either Shen Ye/Chen Zhiben [6] or Luluk Hadiyanto/Joko Riyadi

Sun Junjie/Tao Jiaming [7] vs either Chan Chong Ming/Chew Choon Eng [3] or Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [5] vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki [2]

Still tough for the 2 Pelatnas pairs: Bona/Ahsan or Rian/Yoke to win a title next week, despite the absence of top pairs. We shall see.....

We shall also see some interesting clashes in XD R16:
Tontowi Ahmad/Richi Puspita Dili [4] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa

Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah vs Chen Zhiben/Zhang Jinkang

Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto has the "best" draw and I expect them to progress to at least SF.

There's a slim chance that the XD pairs can win a title in Manila. The main rivals will be the top 2 seeds from HKG and the young CHN pairs like Zhang Nan/Lu Lu, Qiu Zhihan/Deng Yuting, Chen Zhiben/Zhang Jinkang, and the Asuncion siblings.

In WD:
Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati should progress to the QF if they do turn up. However, they could face either Yoshimi Hataya/Sachiyo Imai or Pia Bernadet Zebadiah/Debby Susanto or Deng Yuting/Lu Lu. My money is on the CHN pair. If Mel/Shendy do win the QF match, then Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen await in the SF.

Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii probably have the worst luck in drawing Gao Ling/Wei Yili in R16. Sigh....INA can forget about winning a title in WD.

Unfortunate draws in WS Qualification as well, with Lindaweni Fanetri drawing Wang Xin, while Rizki Amelia Pradipta facing Li Xuerui. In the Main Draw, Aprilia Yuswandari should clear the first round, but will face the top-seed Zhou Mi in R16.

In MS, Tommy Sugiarto is also unlikely to beat Zhou Wenlong in R32, despite being seeded 5th. Nugroho Andi Saputro will also face Sairul Amar Ayob in R32, while Yoga Pratama has the "best" draw and should progress to R16 where he will face Hu Yun.

Hau-ge complained last week... he said if money is the issue, and the National Team players have to choose 1 tournament between MAS Gold GP and PHI Gold GP, it is better for INA National Team to send Lindaweni, Rizki, and Aprillia to MAS Gold GP... While on the XD part, for example, it makes a lot of sense to go to PHI Gold GP...

I would think that when they submit the names for tournaments, they would have no idea who else would be playing in each tournament.

The odd case for our PBSI is that they decide to pull out, only after the draws at both GP Gold events are out :eek: Looking at the draws, indeed, the ones for WS at the MAS GP Gold should be more favorable.

OOoops, I didn't explain correctly... PBSI National Team already saw the draws of MAS and PHI Gold GP and decided to pull out from just one (out of the 2)... Hau-ge just pointed out that for WS, they pulled out from the wrong tournament... :p

The odd case for our PBSI is that they decide to pull out, only after the draws at both GP Gold events are out :eek: Looking at the draws, indeed, the ones for WS at the MAS GP Gold should be more favorable.

There were some internal miscommunication inside the PBSI body that resulted in this atrocious decision-making... :o Anyway, at least, I applaud their decision to send our WD, MD, and XD to Manila... Even though they are not guaranteed to win any title, but they won't be obliterated too early, I believe...

It worse for the INA's upcoming WD, Anneke Feinya/Anissa Wahyuni & Komala Dewi/Keshya Hanadia.
They got good draw in MAS but won't play in PHI :mad::mad:

Then maybe our WS and those 2 WD should have just played in MAS, skip PHI... :p Anyway, it is now in the past... Too late to change... Anissa-Feinya and Komala-Kesha should just go to Laos and Indonesia Challenge... More compatible to their current skill and ranking status.

Been told that Trikus/Fauzi Adnan got invited as the Boss of the tournament's sponsor likes him a lot....since so many Philippines players go to Surya Naga for training...Surya Naga is obliged to send some of their players too to this tournament...basically to make them happy.....

Luluk/Joko withdrew from Manila....

Yes, they made the decision to withdraw last week due to the H1N1 Scare.
LWW/CTF is trying to prevent going out of the country due to the virus since they don't want to jeopardize their WC chances.

As for CCE/CCM worry about the H1N1. Can't blame them.

so sorry to hear that! :(

A colleague of mine was scheduled to go to Phillipines for about a week, but the trip was cancelled. The trouble is there are too many H1N1 imports from Phillipines. If the plane you are travelling in has an H1N1 carrier, then you get quarantined for a week. Worst case scenario is that you get H1N1.

Linda's 1st match is against last week's queen from wang dinasty, wang shixian.......
too bad.......

Yup, no LIVE-SCORE facility for this GP Gold, only updated result...
Hmm, today's qualifying round will only stage 2 matches, 1 WS and 1 MD. Few participants plus many withdrawals due to H1N1 concern.

Fine. Their choice! Then our INA MD pairs have a better chance... :cool: In general, the more they withdraw, CHN and INA have a better shot at taking away the titles...

I once read somewhere that the worst flu pandemic in human history killed 30 million people. I understand that countries like MAS and SIN's combined total population are not even 30 million. :p Larger countries like CHN [1200+ million] and INA [240+ million] won't be wiped out yet if 30 million die... :o maybe that's why they worry less...

The same flu that killed 30Million is the same flu virus we have now... the Same H1N1 aka as Spanish Flu then... now its Mexican Flu or Swine flu.

Its about how strong the immune system we have. Personally im not worried and scared about this virus.

uncle ah fook and uncle ah wah also pulled out from this tournament.

Yes, I agree with you. there is no guarantee that by not going out of their country, they won't get the virus! I'll watch the PHILIPPINE OPEN starting tomorrow!:cool:

Good thing I didn't any ticket for this years' tournament.

Dont think you need any tickets.. ehhehe;)

See you all at the games!

These are athletes. They have strong immune system. A(H1N1) is dangerous only to people who are weak.

why is the tournament called 'BINGO BONANZA'?????

..it's part of the cha-ching-cha-ching company..clue:Bingo..;)
