hope Devin/Lita win tomorrow..

for the indians its battle with chinese taipei 2mrw

Bhat faces off against Yu Hsing H and will need to be on top form to get through.
The wildcard MD combo of Vishnu/Kona are up against the 13th seeds

Even national champ Sayali G starts of as the underdog against Yao Jie

how one you didn't put up KKK/TBH or are did they get a bye to R2?

The most significant event today may be CHN's decision to stay or to go. That decision is due today.

yes, agree. Even yesterday night I try to get some news from the players, they said they don't know yet, have to wait for the announcement by tomorrow(this) morning. If they change their mind to leave, this WC will be meaningless. :(

Meaningless for CHN fans, but not for others for sure :)

Well, in that case it does represent a good chance for Lee Chong Wei or Sony Dwi Kuncoro or Peter Gade or Park Sung Hwan to win their first World Championships title though :)

Most importantly for INA WD, it will also be a "great blessing" if CHN indeed withdraws as it does mean that both Nitya/Grace and Mel/Shendy will be spared an early exit.

We shall see.....

but without chinese players like Lin Dan, sure there is less excitement for this WC. People always want to see other non-chinese players to break through China's wall, if they really decided to leave, then we could not watch a perfect WC for this year as China and England have pulled out. Another news is that Denmark and Netherland might pull out also depending on how serious the problem is in Hyderabad. But yesterday one of the chinese players told me, the terrorist attack is aiming against three countries (China, USA, and England). But I don't know how true it is.

But yesterday one of the chinese players told me, the terrorist attack is aiming against three countries (China, USA, and England). But I don't know how true it is.

if that is even 1% true, if i were china or usa then i'd be on the first plane back home.
it would be a total disaster for not only the sport of badminton but the indian sports association as well if china were to pull out.

I would assume if their was a terrorist attack, they would be aiming for USA, England, and Canada. I don't see China in their radar. France could as well be in there.

if i were the china official, i would decide not to continue this WC under the unsecure situation. it will also can effect the athlete's concentration...
better go home early than being killed by a bomb
just let the othar country grab the title, like malaysia, a big badminton country but very long time drought the WC title.

yaya. Even WYH's mother is worried about her daughter also, she rather want the team to leave Hyderabad. As WC is held once a year, come back next year in Paris.

several interesting matches

Howard Bach/Tony Gunawan [USA] Vs [MAS] Tan Fook Choong/Wan Wah Lee [12]
The MAS uncles versus form3r world champion, but hope Tony/Bach show their WC level again!!

Kenichi Tago [JPN] Vs [DEN] Joachim Persson [7]
expect another upset, but in his facebook, JP mention that he well prepared for this WC, but I bet Tago could win in tight rubber game

It will be most unfortunate if China pulls out:crying:, but it is their decision. It is rarely you see high level badminton tournaments in India.
I can't see what more can Indian security agencies do unless the players and their staff want to stay inside an army barrack now. You can't make anybody feel secure, if fear has already taken over somebody's mind.
Never mind, keeping this aside, apart from the Indian players, I have decided to cheer for the Israeli pair of Misha-Svetlana (go Misha!!!:)) and as usual any Indonesian player (provided they are not competing against Indians:D)

ASTRO is showing a repeat of day 1 mathces.(COURT 3) from 11.30PM-3.30pm.

DAY 2 mathes AUG11 from 3.30pm-11.30pm

CHINA TEAM may withdraw????

Instead of withdrawing the entire team why not leave behind those players who wanted to stay and compete or send some second team player to replace the current STARS.

Maybe allow one player/pair for each discipline.

With CHINA depth in talent, they can easily relace WORLD CLASS players if any unfortunate incident occur.

Further more the presence of a few CHINESE player can still induce excitement.

When will the official statement from Chn's official be ruled out.....before or after today's matches....??

This tournament seems jinxed for reason unknown.
Malaysian coach has fallen sick with symptoms of swine flu!!:eek:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/india/Swine-flu-scare-hits-World-Badminton-tournament-in-Hyderabad/articleshow/4880095.cms

To minimise and dispell more fear about the impending TERRORIST ATTACK,
the officials may have to organise free admission to students to build a scenario of trouble free with adequate security.

The officials than can cite this situation that even local parents have no fear to allow
their children to be presnt at the tournament.

Hope all the best for all Indonesian players today.

Its quite meaningless for a World Championship to be without its top players. If China does decide to pullout for safety reason, there will be a hollow winning feeling for the eventual winner, and gossips of "what if . . . " will always be tagged to this year's Champion.:confused:

ohh no ..poor misbun ...i hope it's not H1N1 .... :eek:

Oh god... this could really be a total disaster... Who to believe? Some say there is a threat, some say there's not. Someone must not be telling the truth :(. Hope China stays (else it's hardly World Champs), but then if something did happen I'd be eating my words... Everything seems to be going wrong here >_>.

If security were a concern, CHN should have packed up like ENG without even playing a match.
If they leave now, LYB knows it's because he can't see CHN doing well.
It would be conceding defeat in the most cowardly manner as only LYB knows how.

Go Belgium :D

By the way, i Think that Tan Yuhan and his sisters Lianne are indian native

Their dad was from Indonesia as confirmed by one of the Indonesian newspaper 2 weeks ago. Both can speak Bahasa Indonesia.

I have been told that Jeremy Gan got swine flu,..not Misbun...now BWF has manager meeting about it....not abt security:rolleyes:

Before the matches get started, the problems are not so serious. So, LYB told the media, they were to stay in Hyderabad, this of course please all the chinese supporters. However, LYB was informed by the CBA on yesterday that the problems are getting more serious and they might have to leave Hyderabad. Whether China can do well or not, let's wait and see. Anything can happen before the final day. :)

it's cowardly to leave a tournament one day in because you fear for the safety of your players? i can't even believe you said that.
you obviously hate lyb and it totally shows. at the end of the day, it's just a game. nobodies life is worth a world championship gold medal.
you really need to do some serious thinking man

Go Belgium :D

haha yea! WOOOO belgium!!!

but we have got to be honest, it's going to be a hard battle to beat indonesian players...

Indias top News outlet confirms the swine flu for misbek..
Now there are conflicting reports.. Swine flu was more towards Mumbai/Pune Area..
it was not much in Hyderabad..but now looks like Hyderabad its become common..

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/

Misbun Sidek, coach of the Malaysian team displayed symptoms of swine flu and his samples have been sent for testing, organisers of the event said.Misbun Sidek, coach of the Malaysian team displayed symptoms of swine flu and his samples have been sent for testing, organisers of the event said.

:eek::eek: I thought they are from Malaysia :( As their surname indicates to me that they are from Malaysia. "Tan" is same as "Chen" in chinese, but "Tan" is normally used by Hokkien people. Now I know that their dad is from Indonesia :o

According to TS, Sudket and Saralee concede a walkover

Yup2, I think even the number of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia outnumber those in Malaysia ;)

At least there are 3-4% of Indonesian people who are ethnic Chinese (let's say 3.5% of 240 mio Indonesians = around 8.5 mio, and most of them are Hokkien, Hakka, and Teochew I think), while 25% of ethnic Chinese in Malaysia (25% of 25 mio Malaysians = 6.25 mio).

I have so many friends whose surname is Tan :)

TAN can be a HAINANESE too,
besides HOKKIEN AND TEOCHEW.

Thats why the surname TAN or CHEN in CHINESE character has the largest population.

Actually Chinese Indonesians are about over 10 millions..( roughly 5%) more than MAS and Singapore....;)

Another popular surname is LIN(CHINA AND TAIWAN), LIM(HOKKIEN<TEOCHEW,HAINANESE,HENG HWAect) and LAM(CANTONESE)

CHINESE character is the same.

If i am mistaken there are also JAPANESE LIM.(HAYASHI) which is onr of the most poular JAPANES FAMILY NAME)

So LIN DAN must have lots of Family clan fans in MAL,INA, TPE and JAPAN

Yeah, I agree with you :)... But our BPS census never mention that ethnic Chinese is one of the largest ethnicities in Indonesia. 5% of 240 mio is about 12 million people, and that will make Chinese as the 3rd largest ethnic groups in Indonesia after Javanese (42%) and Sundanese (15%) ;)

OK OK, back to the world championship topic, hehe :D

..my gut feeling tells me CHN squad will stay and fight on!!..:cool:
If CHN squad leaves, after completing 1 day of action, then this yr's WC is definitely going to go down as one of, if not, the most dubious World Championships in BWF history...
yaya. Even WYH's mother is worried about her daughter also, she rather want the team to leave Hyderabad. As WC is held once a year, come back next year in Paris.
..the thing is, what if the same terrorist threat happens next yr in Paris?? or the following yr in London?? Will the same exact scenario, of team(s) leaving, happen again??..:confused:
...I can't see what more can Indian security agencies do unless the players and their staff want to stay inside an army barrack now. You can't make anybody feel secure, if fear has already taken over somebody's mind.
...
...concur. I even mentioned in one of the threads that perhaps those players (who feel insecure abt their safety) should just pack up their belongings from the hotel and move and stay in the stadium. With that many security personnel, the stadium is perhaps the safest venue in Hyderabad..:eek::(

oic, lol. I thought "Tan" is only used by MAS hokkien :o:D Now I know it :D

It's also used in Singapore, Philippines, and basically any place with Chinese population.

True, but sadly I think only the older Chinese and a relatively small percentage of the younger generation can speak their dialect or mother tongue (like Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese, etc) although I believe Mandarin should be more common among them now. Not sure whether the learning of Chinese or Mandarin is now allowed in the government schools, though.

What I read about the swine flu is that one can easily catch it. It is in the air that's why flu patients are told to wear a mask so that when they cough or sneeze, the germs will be contained hopefully and not fly about wild.

The flu can easily attack someone who is not strong or unwell especially in crowded places. So anyone. even Misbun, can be a victim.

Two Chens on court 4 now! I think the seeded one should win easily!

anyone watching on astro? what match now?

I want know result for wang chen.. :)

Thansa to AVATAAR N LOH for the XING AI YING result.

BTW may I know if both of U are there in the stadium.

The stadium is quite empty. less than 20% seat were taken. The loudest cheers come from players and line judge seat, except from Arvind Bhat supporters :)

go arv, pull it back, managed to return the smashes twice in the rally but the effort too much 13 - 15

Glad to see team CHN still playing, so the rumours ain't true after all
XZB/ZYW cruisin in 2nd and 3rd set, after some slow start
Finally they won 17-21 21-11 21-8

Extreme security arrangements taking its toll actually.
While players are being offered so much security, fans have to bear its pain.
Frisking, displaying each and every object in your pockets/bags etc. will mean queueing in sun for hours. Tickets are also quite costly (by Indian standards, I meant) and nobody in stadium tells you where do they sell them.:mad:

still tight in set 1....12-11 for W Chen

BP nails 1st set 21-14

Battles of uncles :cool:

Boonsak in trouble now...

go Bonsak..!!

Wang Chen wins 21-19 21-10

Yes..1st game point...for Bach/GUnawan
20-15

The Indian press are not trustworthy.

Why should they play up the flu issue.

Such news with wrong identity should never be published, at this highly sensitive moment.

INDIAN security should warn the INDIAN press to be more careful

MISBUN SIDEK's name is definitely more popular than JEREMY GAN.

Perhaps MISBUN should request INDIAN PRESS for compensation to his family

I suspect INDIAN PRESS is playing this issue with a plan to increase press circulation.

JP on court now.

shouldnt be too hard for him this round. but whenever i think of him now i can't help but remember the thrashing LD gave him at the All England.

Chances are it is being done for more circulation. Such things have happened before, when some media channels went on to telecast a story without confirming it.
Misbun should certainly demand comensation.

finally BP is now leading 19-14

Yay! BP finally won
Wheeew :rolleyes:

JP on court now.

shouldnt be too hard for him this round. but whenever i think of him now i can't help but remember the thrashing LD gave him at the All England.

On the contrary, I think JP will struggle against Tago. His recent form hasn't been anything to write home about

What's happening with Tony/Howard. Getting hammered in kind now. Perhaps the drift is a factor?

Wang Chen wins 21-19 21-10 YESS!! Wang Chen Win... Hahaha.. I'm So happy right now :)

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

BP won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness! :D

Boonsak struggles to the finish line 21-17. Much closer than he'd envisaged I reckon.

finally BP won... from losing become winning, nice power of chasing score !

cogratz

On the contrary, I think JP will struggle against Tago. His recent form hasn't been anything to write home about

maybe, we shall see, if his knee is better and he doesnt suffer from sickness...

i think tago still too young and inexperienced to win.

Well, it's a close one so far. Tago 10-9

The "old and fat" MAS uncles :p (according to jasonmarc, MAS superfan), manage to squeak out a 21-18 win in the 2nd game.

right throughout there has been more side news than news on court, though one must confess none of the action witnessed so far has warranted news to transfer to the action on court.

Rubber sets for the uncles
Wooow, it's getting intense :cool:

JP takes first game 21-16.

NEVER underestimate BP capability. Perhaps he knows his superiority.
So he can leisurely chase from behind. BP tried this trick to impress his home crowd supporters with this strtegy. But somehow it backfired.
BP will be paying a high price with the same strategy that he employ in Thailand, if he loses this time again and his plan backfired again.

Was tracking live score on BP match and it was a nail biter !

If he lose during his 1st major outing with the new brand he endorse, it will be a major disaster !

MAS uncle losing steam

Wow...
c'mon Bach/GUnawan..!!

A nail biter in the MD match. US 19-18 MAS

Come on Malaysian uncles...

19-19! so tight!

Oh no...Dangerous for Uncle Choong/Lee...Come on...

19-19...this is yr last chance Chong Tan fook Lee Wan Wah....

20-20!! who's watchign can update us?

Wow 20-20...Come on Chong and Lee....

game point to USA

I can t watch 21-20....

22-21... Dont give up.

mas uncles lose!

23-21 its over....gd by MAS uncle

ARRRGHHH malaysian uncles lost.

Officially over for uncle Choong/Lee...Haiz...

23-21 in the decider for USA uncles :cool:
Unfortunately MAS uncles lose in this match,
their last WC perhaps?

i guess you could call it the first upset of the day, since MAS were seeded and USA were not.

The Zilbermans are here against Japanese.
Go Misha!!!!! :)

CHN on court so Team CHN has not pulled out from the tournament yet

After taking first game 21-16, seems like JP is struggling in the 2nd against Japan's Kenichi TAGO, currently 18-14 down...

Tago takes the 2nd 21-14 against JP

The "old and fat" MAS uncles :p (according to jasonmarc, MAS superfan), manage to squeak out a 21-18 win in the 2nd game.

:D...They just 'fat' lah...not old yet.....:rolleyes:

But they still lost in the rubber...right...? ;)

Tago takes the 2nd 21-14 against JP

guess you were right.

i expected JP to win in straight sets, hehe. :o

Tago takes the 2nd 21-14 against JP
I still believe JP will manage to scrape through.

The Zilbermans are doing well for now. 9-9 Go Misha!!!!

:D...They just 'fat' lah...not old yet.....:rolleyes:

But they still lost in the rubber...right...? ;)

Old-ish :p

Yes, a loss is a loss. Looks like the end of their badminton careers

Today is the day for all MAS uncles and anties ......to win ? or to lose ?

So far two down( LTS and CTF/LWW),....have 3 more to go........wish them good luck...

BP is not in form i think,.....how to play PSH like this...?

This MD result of victory for USA, may change the badminton.

On the optimistic point of view, The US public may be more keen to watch badminton

tournament.

I understand the wealthiest man in the world BILL GATES is a also a ardent badmiston fan.

Unfortunately there isnt US badminton player or pair to cheer for.

Just imagine what will be the PRIZE money for badminton tournament if MICROSOFT start to sponsor.

The increase prize money will definitely garner more interest among the WESTERN
global player.

In short Badminton may gradually follow the footstep of Soccer, as US has slowly showed signs as a SOCCER power nation.

Patipat Chalardchaleam/Nuttaphon Narkthong from Thailand have withdrawn it seems.
TournamentSoftware shows the Indian pair proceed to next round.:(

For my 10,000th post, I dedicate it to may fave cutie Hwang Hye Youn, who will take the court after the KT/JP match. Best of luck to her in these championships and I can only hope she causes an upset or two. :)

Kenichi Tago 9-5 up against JP.

not looks great for the dane in teh rubber.

Kenichi Tago 9-5 up against JP.

Make that 11-5 at the interval. Perhaps the heat has sapped JP of his energy, which, on the other hand, I think the youthful KT has in abundance

She is so lucky :p.......how many of ur 10,000 posts are about HHY...? :D:D

Wish she never wear that awful Victor colourful pink out fit again.....! :D:D

i am hitting 1,000 soon?
so how?

lots of game points for kenichi.

She is so lucky :p.......how many of ur 10,000 posts are about HHY...? :D:D

Wish she never wear that awful Victor colourful pink out fit again.....! :D:D

Haha, you have a good memory. Yes that pink Victor outfit was awful. Hopefully they'll have something more attractive and tasteful this time round :D

I think at least 2,000 of my posts must have mentioned HHY, hehe :D:D... errr... maybe not. Just wishful thinking

Congrats madbad on reaching the landmark!:D:D
Way to go!!

Thank you. But you have to realize at least 7,000 of them were rubbish :p

Japanese victory all around as the Zilbermanns lose and so does Joachim Perrson!

JP lost and so did the Zilbermans.
Never mind, well played.

Kenichi Tago eliminated Joachim Persson 21-13 in the rubber. I think a matter of a younger Asian player outlasting an European player in the heat.

goh liu ying on court now

aha, madbad, HHY is on court now....:D:D

i am hitting 1,000 soon?
so how?

dedicate it to someone lah, maybe Lydia Cheah or Wang Lin...or Du Jing..:eek:

Go go Zhengbo and Ma Jin!

Kenichi Tago eliminated Joachim Persson 21-13 in the rubber. I think a matter of a younger Asian player outlasting an European player in the heat.

Personally I think Tago simply is a better player than JP :-(

John mentioned George & Limsy's names... I bet he noted that he don't have many fans here. LOL :D

wow.....PSH scrapped through only by just tiniest point........who is this Norway guy....he is so good.....

maybe PSH tried to give him as much points as possible to feel some kind of pressure...was arrogant... whatever

most euro players make quick work when they beat Klausen ... so, well done steinar!

what happened with TH match ???
