Philippines Open 2009 Day 6 (Finals): 05/07

[robin7]

Order of play of July 05, 2009 (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=5276F690-53EE-41B9-9AD2-5E6B90DB0BEA)

1. Starting at 1:00 PM XD
Nan ZHANG / Lu LU [CHN] vs [CHN] Zhiben CHEN / Jinkang ZHANG

2. Followed by WS
Mi ZHOU [1] [HKG] vs [CHN] Xin WANG

3. Followed by WD
Shendy Puspa IRAWATI / Meiliana JAUHARI [1] [INA] vs [CHN] Ling GAO / Yili WEI

4. Followed by MS
Long CHEN [7] [CHN] vs [HKG] Yun HU [8]

5. Followed by MD
Mohammad AHSAN / Bona SEPTANO [1] [INA] vs [INA] Alvent Yulianto CHANDRA / Hendra Aprida GUNAWAN [5]

[badMania]

I don't think Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati can beat Gao Ling/Wei Yili. Well, if they really do, then it's really good for them and it does mark some real progress for the Pelatnas pair.

Meanwhile, it's high time Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra win a title. AG hasn't won any GP title yet, while Alvent has been starving for titles since 2004, despite some near misses in the past 2 years. If Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan do win this one, then, they have proven that they do have a future in the first-team and will probably be motivated to win more titles in the GP Gold & SS levels. A win-win situation for both pairs.

[badMania]

After this week, Bona/Ahsan is guaranteed to climb up to no 7 in WR, below the top 6 pairs (Kido/Hendra, Koo/Tan, Paaske/Rasmussen, Jung/Lee, Boe/Mogensen, Fu/Cai).

Rian/Yoke will return back to no 12, while AG/Alvent will go up to at least no 17 if they lost today. If they win, then, they will be no 15, with 2 tourneys to spare.

Congratulation WX....great job..!

[robin7]

anyone got the mixed result?
Abedeng should know it as I missed the XD match and majority of the 1st game of WS.

[robin7]

WD pairs are warming up on court now... Gao/Wei look relaxed...

[abedeng]

Should be a relatively simple match for GL/WYL.

[ctjcad]

Is there a live telecast for this match?
..they were showing the WS match on GDTV..but looks like they've decided to shut it down, once again, like y'day...oh well..:(

[robin7]

Gao/Wei take the 1st game 21-11.

[rwchen]

anyone got the mixed result?
Zhang Nan/Lu Lu def. Chen Zhiben/ Zhang Jinkang : 22-20, 21-19
Two quite surprising results so far.

It was Zhang/Lu to win????I think robin said that Chen/Zhang

[abedeng]

Mobility, this INA pair needs a lot of mobility. Otherwise they won't be in top 10 for long.

INA's GeNit pair are much better.

[robin7]

Zhang Nan/Lu Lu def. Chen Zhiben/ Zhang Jinkang : 22-20, 21-19

Wow, that's 19 PAW pts! No surprises as far as CHN-CHN is concerned.

[robin7]

Nope, I didn't say that. Do u mean abedeng?

[abedeng]

Yup, 19 PAW pts for madbad. I was just teasing madbad when I told him his paw was blown.

[tommy_bun]

Nope, I didn't say that. Do u mean abedeng?
Sorry Robin..I didnt read the post carefully..it should be Abedeng

[rwchen]

Wow, that's 19 PAW pts! No surprises as far as CHN-CHN is concerned.

I hope it is correct, I read it in Sina Sports.

suetyan, who is Wang Xin's coach again?(the tall one with long hair)?..

Just make a guess here, is she Han Jingna? She looks so young.Needs confirmation from Suetyan.

I missed out the WS and WD match :crying: Just now 2.30pm to 4pm I was in my university sitting for a test :crying: So, I don't know which coach are you referring to. But, Wang Xin's current coach of course is Zhang Ning. If you are talking about Han Jingna, she is the second team WS coach. I must download this WS to watch :crying:Missed out Wang Xin in action :crying:

[suetyan]

Wow, so far all the big points are not missed!! Zhang Nan/Lu Lu (19 pts), Wang Xin (50 pts), Gao Ling/Wei Yili (14 pts), Chen Long (10 pts).. haha.. maybe this MD will upset too :D

- A good match to watch. I missed the 1st & 2nd game, but enjoyed the last game til the very end.
- No, the coach wasn't Zhang Ning. I don't know her.

no, I mean her current coach is Zhang Ning. Because Philippines Open is not a very big tournament, so Zhang Ning is not there. The team only send second team coaches to there. As you can see, Xia Xuanze is not there to coach Chen Long also. The second team coach has to in charge of the first team players as well :)

wow..no more upset..:D:D:D:D

[badMania]

So, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan make sure Team Pelatnas goes home with a title at last, the first after the MAS SS XD title in January 2009. What a long wait! Will this be the start of another era of INA MD pair? Too early to say....

As for Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra, too bad....better luck next time :o Alvent's winless run at Finals continues...

AG made too many unforced errors throughout the whole match especially towards the end of the decider. Alvent has done his part.

[george@chongwei]

wang xin was so happy after she beat zhou mi just now:)
congrats to her and all the winners too:)
