World Championships 2009 day Five(Aug 14, 09) QUARTER FINAL!

[lawcc]

Chong wei please dont give up at this point.It all about how he handle the pressure and mentally need to stronger.
ya..and his age also getting old liao..so this year is the best chance..

[F-38-I]

OMG, I & my mom are too afraid to watch sony play

[abedeng]

Sony has renewed confidence and pulls away.

[bakarijankone]

yeah....another point...go..go...SDK

[jasonmarc]

SDK is trying to pull away now,...dont let him, LCW....fight....fight....fight...

[badMania]

Look's like Sony has the edge right now...13-10. Can LCW comeback again?

[malaysiangirl]

Sad to see if chong wei loose this game.I wish to see him in semi finals.He making a lot of unforced errors.He is not at his usual form.

[extremenanopowe]

Anyone recording this match? I want to see this one. Tight game. ;)

[Redman]

Interesting stuff at the moment but as others have said, major badminton events like this should really have better tv coverage. Its a great shame the majority of us cant watch this stuff live.

[bakarijankone]

No...LCW is chasing closely...

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Sony finish it soon....Cant wait for LD vs PG

[badMania]

It will take an unbelievable effort from LCW if he's to win this match and progress to the SF. Mentally, he's just too pressurized and that takes the edge off him in crucial championships like the WC.

[bakarijankone]

Another wide gap by Sony....

[extremenanopowe]

oh oh.. now of never for lcw..... ;)

[jasonmarc]

LCW dont give up.........yet...............fight...fight....figh t....

[lawcc]

sony wont let it happen again..

[abedeng]

The body language shows who's likely to win here.

[aulia]

Ahemm....heart beating fast... come on Sony... win it pls..............:)

[extremenanopowe]

LCW is sure having a huge pressure. Sony should be cruising now... ;)

[budibadibu]

come on SONY!! 5 more points...arghh..

[Chibot]

Sony is getting close to reach semifinal...yay

[badMania]

At 11-17, it's virtually impossible for LCW to win already.
Goodbye LCW and come back next year!

[jasonmarc]

Looks like LCW has drifting away now.........SDK going to take this..........argh...sigh..

[LD rules!]

come on SDK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlanY]

the end is near ................

[whack_d_net]

Wow what a tight game, whoever win must be exhausted tomorrow :eek:

[F-38-I]

Sony, plz, 4 more points

[Gatchan007]

arh lcw :( its finished

[aulia]

3 more points.............................. SONY SONY SONY....

[jasonmarc]

LCW is the third WR 1 to lost after.....CEH/WPT and ZM.............sigh..

[Chibot]

3 more points !! Go Sony !!

[bakarijankone]

3 points to finish....go SDK...

[lawcc]

not a closed match..but realy a tough match...hope SDK can beat LD/ PG

[phaarix]

Hmm Sony is becoming a nightmare for LCW at WC...

[badadum]

2 more pts...cmon Sony!!!

[Chibot]

2 more !!...............

[bakarijankone]

I amready to jump and shout now.....

[LD rules!]

At 11-17, it's virtually impossible for LCW to win already.
Goodbye LCW and come back next year!

wow mine is slow it's only 15-11 on Internet

[Jessica]

Gone case for LCW...Its seem the number one seed is a spell in this WC.All the number one seed have been eliminated earlier.

[malaysiangirl]

ya..and his age also getting old liao..so this year is the best chance..

I want him to give his best.He is not at his best form.I am worried seeing the way he playing today.

[extremenanopowe]

looks like lcw hitting the sony wall... ;)

[abedeng]

Perfect shots from Sony, applauded by Avataar and I.

[Chibot]

Match point for sony !!

[aulia]

Match Points...........................

[lawcc]

n hope LD lose too la!!!huhu

[jasonmarc]

So he still cant play good badminton in WC.........

Try harder next WC 2010 in France..........

[etudiant]

[Chibot]

I amready to jump and shout now.....

Me too ......!!

[nunu27]

YEAH...YEAH... SDK WON!!! good job SONY!!

[kimchi123]

come on.... LCW

[jasonmarc]

Wow what a tight game, whoever win must be exhausted tomorrow :eek:

Makes it easier for LD.........:D:D

[bakarijankone]

Waw...Waw....WAW...(I am shouting while jumping......)

[huangkwokhau]

WOW...SONY won....fantastic....not bad INA has 3 representatives.....in SF

[badadum]

Congrats to Sony, a deserving winner.

Meanwhile WD is expected to be China's redeeming title.

[kimchi123]

cry...cry.. world no 1 OUT!!!.. sad sad

[phaarix]

Sony seems to often peak at the right times :P.

[limsy]

congrates sdk,beat lcw once again in wc

[jasonmarc]

Congratulation SDK......good tactical match...

[Jessica]

Its useless that how good a player be if he always lost in the crucial stage.Is LCW never meant to win something big????Haiz..

[badMania]

A repeat victory for Sony Dwi Kuncoro at the World Championships arena...after beating Lee Chong Wei TWO TIMES now....this time: 21-16, 14-21, 21-12.

Whoever will play Sony in the SF, I hope Sony keeps his momentum and hopefully create an all-INA Final, with Taufik Hidayat.

For Lee Chong Wei, the burden has really become too big for him. I am pretty sure it will be VERY HARD for him to win ANY MAJOR TITLE!

[chemile]

Yes.....SDK beat LCW. Congrat to Sony, prove that he is deserve to be top world player. I think his marriage increase his motivation.... Now, prepare to beat LD or PG

[pauline]

Congrats Sony!! Try harder next year,LCW.

[bakarijankone]

Makes it easier for LD.........:D:D

Yap...in our speculation...but we shall see on the ground!!!

[grhm2356]

ahahahah! And he's gone! Now if Peter Gade beats Lin Dan, it will make my day!

[malaysiangirl]

Well guys,sony won and reach semis.Credit goes to sony who able to handle the pressure.I am sad to see chong wei loosing at this stage whereby he can reach semi finals.

[LD rules!]

well done SDK I knew u could do it !!!!

[huangkwokhau]

A repeat victory for Sony Dwi Kuncoro at the World Championships arena...after beating Lee Chong Wei TWO TIMES now....this time: 21-16, 14-21, 21-12.

Whoever will play Sony in the SF, I hope Sony keeps his momentum and hopefully create an all-INA Final, with Taufik Hidayat.

For Lee Chong Wei, the burden has really become too big for him. I am pretty sure it will be VERY HARD for him to win ANY MAJOR TITLE!
Dont forget Japan final...it is 3 times now......

[spoileddelights]

AHHH so happy for sony!
but sad for lcw..
i think both are awesome haha

[phaarix]

Finally I get a chance for a toilet break!

[suetyan]

Yes!!!! Congrats to Wang Yihan's brother. He deserves the win!!! :)

[yen_saw]

The history repeat itself once more!! for all the fans waiting for LD vs LCW, maybe next year!

[F-38-I]

Congratz Sony, we love u!

[UrashimaKun]

CHONG WEI!!!!!

[extremenanopowe]

Looks like its the MD that will get a chance to win the WC. ;)

LCW can try again next year. Too bad lah. Should not be any excuse to loose this. Sony is a better player. After all these long breaks and training. Going down the drain. Did someone said LM also trained him? ;)

His brain is thinking too far ahead... ;)

[lawcc]

luckly MAS.still have representative in tomorrow's game.

[Darien]

For Lee Chong Wei, the burden has really become too big for him. I am pretty sure it will be VERY HARD for him to win ANY MAJOR TITLE!

you are absolutely right...:D

[jasonmarc]

IF...LD lose to PG.SDK has the chance to become World Champion 09.....

[lung5488]

sigh....anyway congrats to Sony

[krisss]

ahahahah! And he's gone! Now if Peter Gade beats Lin Dan, it will make my day!

Haha , that would be good.

Although I did want to see LCW vs LD.

Any ideas , on how I can actually watch the matches live in the UK?

[kimchi123]

how can LCW give away 7 point in a row so easy?? last min no more gas?? haiz........

[jasonmarc]

I think its time for Cooler, bana kid, Uncle Loh, Dato Asbullah and Pemuda...........to come out to do their job now.........after LCW lost....!

[hhs1000]

Congratulations to Sony. As for LCW, you may have lost the battle but don't lose the lesson. Get married!.

[huangkwokhau]

I guess INA is a badminton powerhouse....

[rebsinfx]

Congrats to Sony! Hope he reaches the finals!

[extremenanopowe]

My guess is a all china finals? ;)

[samuel882]

Will the Datukship be taken away when he back to MAS? :p

[lawcc]

Looks like its the MD that will get a chance to win the WC. ;)

LCW can try again next year. Too bad lah. Should not be any excuse to loose this. Sony is a better player. After all these long breaks and training. Going down the drain. Did someone said LM also trained him? ;)

His brain is thinking too far ahead... ;)
the training:crying: was too concentrated to LD liao..and SONY done his promises to his wife..

[abedeng]

Good tactics by Sony to win game 1, allowed him to recoup energy and blast away on game 3.

[Peter5124]

how can LCW give away 7 point in a row so easy?? last min no more gas?? haiz........

Yeah. I'm curious too:crying:

[nunu27]

SDK won it for his wife and his sister (WYH)..;)..

[suetyan]

For the Korea trip, I think LM only taught LCW the way to defeat LD, but not to defeat Sony ;)

[samuel882]

Where is George? Dropping his pants now ?

[**KZ**]

well...LCW lost...disappointed....MS competition will be boring unless gade wins...he is looking so fast....

[etudiant]

Ina vs Chn MS SF....

[aulia]

CHN look for revenge as their XD has gone. They ARE MAD with WD. 2 SF already. And 2 more likely.

[atmavidy]

Yes!!!! Congrats to Wang Yihan's brother. He deserves the win!!! :)
Wkwkwk.. But sad Yihan couldn't reach semifinal like her brother... :crying:

[grhm2356]

Stop crying cause now is.... GO GO GADE!!!!

[Jessica]

I think its time for Cooler, bana kid, Uncle Loh, Dato Asbullah and Pemuda...........to come out to do their job now.........after LCW lost....!
LOL:D:D:D.They should do their job in the "LCW is out thread"

[suetyan]

SDK won it for his wife and his sister (WYH)..;)..
yes, he promises his wife to win the WC for her :D If Sony were to meet LD or PG tomorrow, there is a 50-50 chance :D

[huangkwokhau]

LYB is smiling now...." see you what you did LM?"....

[samuel882]

It is very rare to See Sony play an almost perfect game in the decider !

[etudiant]

congrates sdk,beat lcw once again in wc

what are the odds right??? how come Sony beat LCW twice in WC:cool: but not in the other tourneys

[budibadibu]

[huangkwokhau]

YEP...all CHN WD in Semi...tough for Pawers....

[Jessica]

the training:crying: was too concentrated to LD liao..and SONY done his promises to his wife..
Exactly..Rashid still said that only LD that can challenge LCW and LCW is a class higher than other players in a news report.The coaching team should analyse all the potential opponents and not only LD.Sigh..:(

[suetyan]

Nice job done by chinese WD. It will be all chinese semi-finalist :)

[rebsinfx]

LCW had bad net shots for the finals points of the last game

[hcpoirot]

Lots of suprises today.

[TH_4_President]

Many have doubt Sony can repeat his victory over Choong Wei in WC, including me, but he has given a lesson to all of us..GET MARRIED..!! :D :D :D hohohoho

[aulia]

[huangkwokhau]

I am glad that INA badminton is still exist despite all failures...Joko did right things now to groom all young ones..mentally..even in this week's circuit..7 out of 8 are from pratama in MS

[spoileddelights]

OMG..

[simonlovers]

2 spot in SF for INA..fair enough,,

it's a bonus if Sony can win...
OMG...

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

[jasonmarc]

Chn lost 1 title and secured 1 title as well...........

[limsy]

I guess INA is a badminton powerhouse....

ina always been a badminton powerhouse;)


what are the odds right??? how come Sony beat LCW twice in WC:cool: but not in the other tourneys

he did beat lcw in japan open and also sea games i think;)

[krisss]

It doesn't work... for me.

Its not available in some areas, including the UK :crying:.

Any other places for watching the matches live?

I'm missing PG VS LD :o

[SHLAU]

After looking at the result, the only way to explain this is that Sony is not in any way inferior to LCW in term of standard of play.

That explains the phenomeno of why sometimes he beat LCW but the next day he might lose to him again which was exactly what happened in the last few years. The number of times they beat each other is also quite even.:rolleyes:

As a result, it is very hard to predict the outcome of the match when they play each other. History has proved this.;)

[yen_saw]

LYB is smiling now...." see you what you did LM?"....

Ha! Maybe LYB should thank LM instead;)

[PIGGYGANONE]

CONGRATULATIONS to SONY DEWI KUNCORO. :D

You not only win this game, but whole of INDONESIA is having a man-made

EARTHQUAKE !!!:D

To-night there are many Champions eliminated.

I believe the feng shui of their LUCKY STARS are stucked at inauspicious

sector of the PA-KUA known as WU-KWEI or five devils.

However credit must rendered to you for taking your initiative at the right

moment.

It looks like LIN DAN but suffer the same fate of being demolished.

Hope his lucky star travel to another sector so he can at least survive.

He need his Lucky star to be at the SHEN YI, in order to turn defeat to

victory.

The FENG SHUI traveling star moves around most of the time and have great

influence on shuttle direction.

Though cannot ascertain the position of lucky stars it can be predicted.

This has a great influence on the CURRENT form of a player.:D

[aulia]

For tomorrow matches....SEMANGAT!!!
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_019.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

[etudiant]

yes..happy tears..
i went home earlier because i can't to see INA lost again...
:crying:

that's always pleasant surprise.......when underdog had beaten the favourite;)

[**KZ**]

PG is playing really well...much much better than LCW....but again....not enough to beat LD really....MS and WD getting boring...

[krisss]

honestly, I don't know....:D
but I hope, it works in UK :)

:D Thanks for the honesty , but it doesn't work.

Thankyou for trying :)

[etudiant]

For tomorrow matches....SEMANGAT!!!

[jasonmarc]

[bakarijankone]

OH...NO....Gade has to work a bit harder in the second game.....

[Jessica]

Haiya...Narrow lost for Peter..Lin Dan preveil...

[tommy_bun]

Finally LD took 1st game.......

[aulia]

LD took it 22-20
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_044.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

[yen_saw]

A good chase by the good-old Gade.... but it wasn't enough.

[grhm2356]

Filho da puta do chines.

Does somebody know what a "Clear winner" means? It's a statistic from tournament software... A player clears and the others lets it drop expecting it to go in but it lands out?

[phaarix]

Ahhhh hard luck Peter... keep it up though! I really don't think anyone else will have a better chance than Peter....

[jasonmarc]

Sigh...too bad LD took 1st game..........PG go for it....take the 2nd game....

[krisss]

OH...NO....Gade has to work a bit harder in the second game.....

Yeah , He is going to have to work very hard!

I would love it , to go to 3 games!

[abedeng]

Missed opportunity from Gade, smashing wide.

Indian announcer lists a variety of food we could sample at the food court.

[aulia]

so aulia,u replace jutawin place for providing us cute icon?:D

Ah, I can't replace him. :D:D. But yes, I love those cute icon.:D:D
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_039.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

[Redman]

come on LD! Just one more game...

[bakarijankone]

Auch....LD takes the lead again.....
Bangkit dong Gade.....

[bakarijankone]

Gade 加油...!!!
Gade 加油...!!!

[etudiant]

valiant effort from Gade...................

[bakarijankone]

Good chase by Gade...

[limsy]

Where is jutawin.............? hehee


Ah, I can't replace him. :D:D. But yes, I love those cute icon.:D:D
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_039.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

so,where is jutawin?:confused::(:crying:

[grhm2356]

I'll ask again:

Does somebody know what a "Clear winner" means? It's a statistic from tournament software... A player clears and the others lets it drop expecting it to go in but it lands out?

[krisss]

Gade 加油...!!!
Gade 加油...!!!

Wow , this is a very tight game , level pegging throughout!

2 Greats battling it out.

[phaarix]

Just hope it's a great match all the way through so I can hopefully watch the video later :D. Come on PG!! Keep it close!

[etudiant]

talking about jutawin,where is him?:confused::(
missing him and his icon^^

peter,u can do it

I think he's off the radar for a while.....:rolleyes:

[**KZ**]

damn how much i would love for gade to win....he has been around so long and had nvr won the WC...coming close a few times...he really deserves it....plus if the semis only consist of indonesian and chinese players it's gonna be boring...

[whack_d_net]

Go Peter :cool:

[huangkwokhau]

I'll ask again:

Does somebody know what a "Clear winner" means? It's a statistic from tournament software... A player clears and the others lets it drop expecting it to go in but it lands out?
I believe the "clear winner" means that the shuttle lands it on empty spot...

[phaarix]

I'll ask again:

Does somebody know what a "Clear winner" means? It's a statistic from tournament software... A player clears and the others lets it drop expecting it to go in but it lands out?

Yeah, that's always confused me as well... Seems like a lot of bad judgement if that's really what it means.

[venkatesh]

I want Peter to win. For a change. C'mon Peter. Work it. Work it.

[krisss]

LD leads through to the half , Gade is going to have to gear up , to get the second game

[Heong]

Lin Dan is leading by two points!

C'mon Peter! Close the gap!

Yea i think Clear winner means a win from an open space. Including drops, clears, nets and others apart from the smash.

[sting1988]

yes yes yes!!!! Best semi ever!!!! I knew Sony could do it!!!! Taufik vs chen jin. hopefully it's lin dan vs taufik at the final. The DREAM FINAL!!! 4 WD all china!!!

[phaarix]

Peter Gade always goes into tournaments with a good attitude. Hope he does well... It's frustrating that the draws are often unfavourable to him. ie. Lin Dan in OG and WC before SF :(.

[bakarijankone]

As usual....
LD pulls the gap now....
Gade needs more power...

[limsy]

I'll ask again:

Does somebody know what a "Clear winner" means? It's a statistic from tournament software... A player clears and the others lets it drop expecting it to go in but it lands out?


Yeah, that's always confused me as well... Seems like a lot of bad judgement if that's really what it means.

not a must for misjudgement,might mean opponent been outmoved and he hit the birdie to another side:)


I think he's off the radar for a while.....:rolleyes:

why?:(

[grhm2356]

I believe the "clear winner" means that the shuttle lands it on empty spot...

LCW made something like 15 Clear Winners in one set. Does it mean his opponent, who just beat him, was too slow to get his clears (or something it was neither a smash or net play)?!?

[Han]

PG is playing really well...much much better than LCW....but again....not enough to beat LD really....MS and WD getting boring...
Give Soni credit, can't be coincidence beating Chong Wei more than once. Imagine the uproar from the Malaysian press for Chong Wei loss, not to Lin Dan but to Soni. ... All these special training, special chefs, ...
Not sure what else to say except one thing for sure about our Malaysian players, nothing is for sure :D
Never thought we have to rely on KKK/TBH now for this prestigious title or even Zakry/Fairuzizuan, I shall take back all the bad things I said about Rexy(just click <undo>,<undo>, ...):D
Rexy Boleh!

[etudiant]

Yeah, that's always confused me as well... Seems like a lot of bad judgement if that's really what it means.

i think its more like drop shots and half-half smash shots (you know if the shuttle is very easy to smash : I dont know what its called:p)

[venkatesh]

Yeah, that's always confused me as well... Seems like a lot of bad judgement if that's really what it means.
Oh. I thought it's a clear shot that made a "clear" win ... as opposed to a "smash" shot. Am I on the same level? I didn't read the previous posts.

[etudiant]

why?:(

busy...busy life.........

[whack_d_net]

damn how much i would love for gade to win....he has been around so long and had nvr won the WC...coming close a few times...he really deserves it....plus if the semis only consist of indonesian and chinese players it's gonna be boring...

Same here, i wish PG do well, unfortunately he must face LD at this very stage :rolleyes:
Umm, bdw WD even boring with all CHn SF :eek:

[phaarix]

Maybe I should ask the people at tournamentsoftware to know for sure ;).

[yen_saw]

LD should gear up now and finish Gade in straight set.....

so,what u say about him?
tell me:mad::p

well, there is a remote chance that an all MAS MD final come Sunday. can't be that bad!

Clear- A shot hit deep to the opponents back boundary line. The high clear is a defensive shot, while the flatter attacking clear is used offensively.

If the opponent wasn't able to retrieve this shot, it means a clear win, I think.

[etudiant]

Maybe I should ask the people at tournamentsoftware to know for sure ;).

so...tonight's topic is....what is 'clear winners' means...:confused:

[venkatesh]

so...tonight's topic is....what is 'clear winners' means...:confused:

Exactly why did this topic come about? I'm assuming it happened during the game.

Oh no! PG is already tired.

[phaarix]

Or maybe it's the definition of clear as in "obvious", like they clearly won the point or something :P.

[etudiant]

Lin Dan in course to meet Sony

LCW couldn't have done 15 clears which beat his opponent?

I think it has a different meaning , I don't think it is winning the shot , by using a clear.

[aulia]

Oh....PG....13-19

It seems LD will get a straight win....10-13 for LD

[bakarijankone]

Sorry....19-13 for LD

[phaarix]

Come on PG! Big comeback now :D. You did it in the first!

[krisss]

Or maybe it's the definition of clear as in "obvious", like they clearly won the point or something :P.

Yes I would have thought that , but then it is inidividual to each person , as what a clearly won point is.

Perhaps asking tournamentsoftware would be the best option?

well....i didn't say sony played badly....but I really love a multinational semifinal....even if M'sia is not in it....it's certainly more interesting...as for the special chefs and everything....sumtimes M'sian players are spoiled by these priviledges....as one of my teachers said....M'sia always sends the biggest team but comes back empty handed....:rolleyes:

[jasonmarc]

I only can say that those statistic were not even close to what actually happened.....

It stated NTM won all his points thru 'net winner'......when i watch that match...i dont think so.....and i dont get it at all...........

[grhm2356]

Clear- A shot hit deep to the opponents back boundary line. The high clear is a defensive shot, while the flatter attacking clear is used offensively.

So, what do you think of this? I didn't see the game, but I can't imagine Sony being that slow and still winning the set.

Chong Wei Lee Sony Dwi Kuncoro
16 Score 21
1 Smash winner 11
0 Net winner 7
15 Clear winner 3
0 Other 0

[abedeng]

Good to see Gade fighting so hard even in a difficult position.

[Han]

so,what u say about him?
tell me:mad::p

Over-rated, too much hype and over optimistic about our players. Besides TBH/KKK won the AE, what else have we won under his guidance in big event?
Chong Wei achieved much more under different coaches(except huge title, came close in Olympic). Just my opinion.

[bakarijankone]

Oh...no....Match poit for LD...

[venkatesh]

Or maybe it's the definition of clear as in "obvious", like they clearly won the point or something :P.

So what are examples of points not clearly won?

points won as decided by line judges?

I don't think so. This would destroy the credibility of the officials
Every points won should be "clear" or, in other words, sure points.

[etudiant]

[aulia]

Should we take this 'winner' as 'winner' in Tennis???

But, yeah... if there is 'clear winner', they must have 'blur winner' too.:p:p:D:D

[whack_d_net]

Bye bye peter :crying:

[bakarijankone]

This is from chinese discussion forum:
clear 是高远球或平高球的意思. 所以CLEAR WINNER 应该是指通过这两种球的得分.

[extremenanopowe]

I like the undo undo thingy.. lol.. if LYB pulls out china, I also undo undo... lol. ;)

[jasonmarc]

Sorry....19-13 for LD


Common, give SDK a chance to beat LD tomorrow...........:cool:

[**KZ**]

ahh....if only gade have won the 1st game....
