[phaarix]

*sigh* feel so sorry for PG now... but I'm sure he won't be too disappointed with his effort though.

[bakarijankone]

拜拜 Phg.......!!!

[simonlovers]

INA vs CHN in MS SF tomorrow....

[huangkwokhau]

INA vs China tomorrow in MS........I never thought INA will have 2 MS in SF....

[krisss]

Wow BC currently has approximatleey 1000 people on the forums , a third of the most ever people on the forums.

300 members and 700 guests and 500 people are on the tournament section :).

The 700 Guests should sign up :)

[UrashimaKun]

Oh god please don't gimme another LD vs CJ final

[eaglehelang]

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

Wah, you more confident than me on this, :p:D

[venkatesh]

Sigh. Bye uncle PG.

[PIGGYGANONE]

Are you serious... haha.

================================================== ==================

I will explain more in detail via private mail.

The teachings of Feng Shui is branch of PHILOSOPHY derived from BOOK of I CHING

which had been scrutunised and sactioned before translation to more than hundred

languages It is a BIBLE of PHILOSOPHY.

OFF track at this moment. keep in contact for further details. It will be annoying to

others who are not interested.

[extremenanopowe]

will saina prevail again?? ;)

[jasonmarc]

Wow, the final match tonight is India sweet heart Vs Chn sweet heart............

Also a revenge thingy here.........

[phaarix]

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.

Oh I kind of meant like they were no where close to retrieving the shuttle. A well placed shot or deceptive shot that had the opponent wrong footed. But I wasn't too serious, that would probably be under "other".

[krisss]

Next match will be a good one :)

[simonlovers]

Can Wang LIn take revenge ???
Or IND spectator can see their lovely Saina Nehwal play againts Lu Lan tomorrow ?

[grhm2356]

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.

And that means what? Not everybody here can read the language...

[extremenanopowe]

Hello Guest... how are you??? You know me?? Am waiving at you. here here... oh.. not there... here... lol...

[phaarix]

I think I can relax on this last match. I like both players, and they both have many more WC ahead of them, so it doesn't matter who wins :)!

[bakarijankone]

Of course....my heart goes to Nehwal....
Go Saina...Go...Go!!!!!

[jasonmarc]

INA vs China tomorrow in MS........I never thought INA will have 2 MS in SF....

I bet u also never thought INA will have 2 MS in the Final....right...? :D:D

[etudiant]

I think Saina has better chance to beat Wang Lin.go Saina...

[Chibot]

Goodbye uncle gade

[limsy]

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

hope he come back very soon:(:)


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.

haha,oh i see:p
say sorry to rexy if we really have an all mas final(very unlikely):)

[etudiant]

This is from chinese discussion forum:

Errr, KKK/TBH also won 2006 AG, after many years Msia didnt win. Now, hopefully those 2 MD dont panic tomm & both lose.

[venkatesh]

Oh I kind of meant like they were no where close to retrieving the shuttle. A well placed shot or deceptive shot that had the opponent wrong footed. But I wasn't too serious, that would probably be under "other".

Yes. I agree. That would probably be under "other". A clear winner is a point gained by hitting a clear, placing the shuttle near the baseline, without your opponent being able to retrieve it. :) Or maybe I'm wrong.

[simonlovers]

I think I can relax on this last match. I like both players, and they both have many more WC ahead of them, so it doesn't matter who wins :)!
Agree..
but it will be more spectator if Saina can win this..:p

[phaarix]

As long as it's not Lin Dan vs Chen Jin in the final I don't really care who wins tomorrow.

come on 'The Guess'....join up....see how fun is this forum:D:D:D

[aulia]

So. CHN vs KOR. 3-2. Ah, I didn't think that LHJ/LKW will lost. But yeah, MJ still want playing. :D

CHN vs DEN 2-2. CHN took single competition. DEN took double.

[venkatesh]

People here type so fast. So many posts. I always get lost in the pages. I'll see you guys again tomorrow. :-)

[etudiant]

I bet u also never thought INA will have 2 MS in the Final....right...? :D:D

Taufik vs Lin Dan will be much hyped...not to decrease the chance of Sony-CJ

[Han]

Oh god please don't gimme another LD vs CJ final

the scenario is very likely but not all for bad. I believe if Chen Jin in fact facing Lin Dan in the final, Li Yongbo will let them have the real fight as there's no upcoming tournament need to re-align their ranking points for strategic reason. I for one like to see them play to their true potential and I actually will pick Chen Jin to win.

[bakarijankone]

I bet u also never thought INA will have 2 MS in the Final....right...? :D:D

Oh jasonmarc....I would really love if that dream comes true!!!

[abedeng]

Saina has to cut down on those errors.

Every point won is applauded well, though.

[venkatesh]

John Burgess is one of those 700. He needs to sign up.

[etudiant]

People here type so fast. So many posts. I always get lost in the pages. I'll see you guys again tomorrow. :-)

get used to it....:p ok c u....

[whack_d_net]

That would be super cool if it turns out to be All MS finals :cool: :cool:
But worst case scenario is if we end up only w/ 2 bronzes :eek: :eek:
Oh Nooo, scrat that, click click, undo undo
I don't wanna jinx TH and SS :rolleyes:
Hehehe :rolleyes:
Umm btw same case with Mas MD :cool:

[Chibot]

[jasonmarc]

[aulia]

Errr.... Wang Lin out for revenge? Hmm...

I support her for this match. :D:D:D

http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_244.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

[simonlovers]

That would be super cool if it turns out to be All MS finals :cool: :cool:

Oh Nooo, scrat that, click click, undo undo
I don't wanna jinx TH and SS :rolleyes:
Hehehe :rolleyes:
Umm btw same case with Mas MD :cool:
it must be TH and SDK..
SS had lost..:(

[venkatesh]

Oh. coz he mentioned BC as one of his sources for baddy info.

[bakarijankone]

what the translation

Sorry guys....I am reading Chinese through online translation software....
Here what the translation machine says:

"Clear" is the lofty ball or the even lob. Therefore "CLEAR WINNER" should refer to these two seedball score.
Any Chinese can help???

[venkatesh]

Sssssshhh. Quiet everyone. My girlfriend is already playing.

[venkatesh]

Sorry guys....I am reading Chinese through online translation software....
Here what the translation machine says:

"Clear" is the lofty ball or the even lob. Therefore "CLEAR WINNER" should refer to these two seedball score.
Any Chinese can help???

so i'm right all along

lofty ball = high clear
even lob = flat attacking clear

[jasonmarc]

That would be super cool if it turns out to be All MS finals :cool: :cool:
But worst case scenario is if we end up only w/ 2 bronzes :eek: :eek:
Oh Nooo, scrat that, click click, undo undo
I don't wanna jinx TH and SS :rolleyes:
Hehehe :rolleyes:
Umm btw same case with Mas MD :cool:

Shd be SDK not SS....:D

Yes, both mas MD are underdogs for tomorrow MD SF ....hope they can surprise us with some upsets........

[etudiant]

gogogogo Saina.............

[whack_d_net]

Hmm, Saina better win this :cool:
Otherwise WS will be kinda like WD with all CHn SF,
despite the fact that Lady Pi playin under France flag :rolleyes:
But Wang Lin probably wants her revenge too? Hehe :eek:

[gadjyah]

Wang Lin is good....

Wang Lin is foxxeeeeh....

[etudiant]

Sssssshhh. Quiet everyone. My girlfriend is already playing.

ok then...lets give her hard and loud cheering....;)

[jasonmarc]

Sssssshhh. Quiet everyone. My girlfriend is already playing.

Who....WL or SN ? or u want both...? :D:D

[venkatesh]

go go go Wang Lin

[eaglehelang]

Who....WL or SN ? or u want both...? :D:D

I was just about to ask that, but should be Saina :D

[bakarijankone]

so i'm right all along

lofty ball = high clear
even lob = flat attacking clear

That is what exactly the best translation....and you are clearly right!!

[venkatesh]

go go go go Saina

[huangkwokhau]

Yes. I agree. That would probably be under "other". A clear winner is a point gained by hitting a clear, placing the shuttle near the baseline, without your opponent being able to retrieve it. :) Or maybe I'm wrong.
The problem is that many umpires do not know howtopress the "right buttons " on tournament software program...sometimes, they are lazy...or they are in hurry...they just press whatever for statistics...I did ask to Daniel ( tournament software ) about it and he agreed that umpires just pressed it as long as they add right points for player....sometimes.."smash" put into " clear winner"...etc...so basically " Dont look into too much int his statistic"...

[etudiant]

WL looks like closing in 1st set....

[venkatesh]

Ssssshhh. Both of them don't know that they're my girlfriends. 19-16. Wohooo.

[whack_d_net]

So. CHN vs KOR. 3-2. Ah, I didn't think that LHJ/LKW will lost. But yeah, MJ still want playing. :D


Not quite surprising though as LHJ/LKW also lost to this CHN young pair too @ BAC a few months back :eek: :eek:
IMO, actually its much bcoz LHJ allergy towards MJ :crying:
Up until now, LHJ can't dispose MJ both when she playing XD and WD :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[jasonmarc]

I was just about to ask that, but should be Saina :D

Helang, did u watched LCW's match just now..............?:)

Dissapointed again ?...poor LCW trying so hard and yet failed....:(

Hope for better results in tomorrow SF.............Good Night..:p

[bakarijankone]

I just wonder with Wang, Lin's name...
Which one is her surename?
Wang (王）?　OR...　Lin (林）？
Ｔhese two characters usually are used as surename. I have never seen two "surenames" come together ....

[etudiant]

hmm.......if with this software, the umpires are just lazy to press the right button, how if soon badminton will be equipped with "Hawk Eye" like tennis........:confused::rolleyes:

[joelabb]

come on 'The Guess'....join up....see how fun is this forum:D:D:D

Most of the guest already member ma...:D just like me having fun reading other BC member posts and if cannot "tahan" normally only joint the discussion during semi or final matches.:rolleyes:

[venkatesh]

First set by Wang Lin.

I wish there's a rubber set. I want them to have more air time. :D

[krisss]

That is what exactly the best translation....and you are clearly right!!


Whas the pun intended? :p

[etudiant]

Saina into 2nd gear now............6-1

[Chibot]

Yes Wan Lin win the first set 21-16

[bakarijankone]

Wow...good start for Saina in the second game....7-1 for Saina..

[venkatesh]

Oh yeah! 7-1. She's on a roll.

[extremenanopowe]

another marathon match? ;)

[suetyan]

wow, Wang Lin in trouble, go Saina :D

[huangkwokhau]

hmm.......if with this software, the umpires are just lazy to press the right button, how if soon badminton will be equipped with "Hawk Eye" like tennis........:confused::rolleyes:
Look ate Australia GP recently...I forgot which match...all pinstare clear winner..no smash, net, etc...well..it is just for statistics..the players still get the right points but not but right execution like " NET" becomes "clear winner"..

[huangkwokhau]

wow, Wang Lin in trouble, go Saina :D
:eek:...you are not supporting WL??

[venkatesh]

Huang knows so much. Careful. BWF migh have to kill you with so many revelations :D:p. Just kidding.

[bakarijankone]

Whas the pun intended? :p

Hahaha....he is clearly rightwith the "clear winner" hehehe...

[aulia]

Not quite surprising though as LHJ/LKW also lost to this CHN young pair too @ BAC a few months back :eek: :eek:

Up until now, LHJ can't dispose MJ both when she playing XD and WD :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wah... you're right... I didn't think this allergic things can happen!:D

Why LHJ can't show her best performance when facing MJ?? She is shy?:D:D Or because MJ keep shouting at her?:p:D

meanwhile, after took 1st set, WL is sleepy already:D trailing 2-9

[tommy_bun]

wow, Wang Lin in trouble, go Saina :D

[lawcc]

[etudiant]

Now I can see you dont 'tahan'......:D

[whack_d_net]

SS had lost..:(

Upz i made a typo :eek: :eek:
Hahaha, yeah it should be SDK instead
Or can i still use SS = Super Sony? Hehehe :cool: :cool:

[jasonmarc]

Look ate Australia GP recently...I forgot which match...all pinstare clear winner..no smash, net, etc...well..it is just for statistics..the players still get the right points but not but right execution like " NET" becomes "clear winner"..

Like i said,...dont ever look into it...its rubbish......unless somebody is assigned purposely to responsible for those datas collection.........cant depends on the umpire........;)

[etudiant]

Look ate Australia GP recently...I forgot which match...all pinstare clear winner..no smash, net, etc...well..it is just for statistics..the players still get the right points but not but right execution like " NET" becomes "clear winner"..

yeah...I saw that too....strange thing because some or all of the pts comes from other......that's just weird....now I know....:o

[bakarijankone]

Now I can see you dont 'tahan'......:D
"Don't tahan" apa nih??? hehehe....

[etudiant]

Upz i made a typo :eek: :eek:
Hahaha, yeah it should be SDK instead

[bakarijankone]

Wang Lin is coming closer....9-10..
Oh non..10-10

[etudiant]

[bakarijankone]

And takes the lead....UH....

[joelabb]

Now I can see you dont 'tahan'......:D
I tried my best to 'tahan' my 'tangan gatal':D

[etudiant]

cmon Saina.........fight....

[venkatesh]

Winners classification should be assigned to a different person (eg, the service judge). It could confuse the umpire.

[bakarijankone]

I tried my best to 'tahan' my 'tangan gatal':D
to play or to "tampar"?:D

[etudiant]

I tried my best to 'tahan' my 'tangan gatal':D

u better be, lad....:p:p

[whack_d_net]

Wah... you're right... I didn't think this allergic things can happen!:D

Why LHJ can't show her best performance when facing MJ?? She is shy?:D:D Or because MJ keep shouting at her?:p:D

meanwhile, after took 1st set, WL is sleepy already:D trailing 2-9

I guess you're right, probably LHJ afraid of MJ coz she always squeal at her :eek: :eek:
I'd probably feel terrified too had she squeal that loud right in front my face
Hahaha :cool:
Meanwhile, Go Saina! :cool:

[venkatesh]

I guess you're right, probably LHJ afraid of MJ coz she always squeal at her :eek: :eek:
I'd probably feel terrified too had she squeal that loud right in front my face
Hahaha :cool:
Meanwhile, Go Saina! :cool:
That's why LYD/LHJ always have a hard time winning agains ZB/MJ. It's because their eardrums always get affected with MJ's scream that the Koreans lose their sense of balance. :D

[etudiant]

OMG its 17all now.....now or never Saina

[huangkwokhau]

Winners classification should be assigned to a different person (eg, the service judge). It could confuse the umpire.
:D..then service judges will look weird with "keyboard" on thighs...

[huangkwokhau]

wow..Saina wasted her lead..WL gets even

[etudiant]

[krisss]

Sainas its now or never ( well next year )

[venkatesh]

:D..then service judges will look weird with "keyboard" on thighs...

Don't they look weird enough to always give the shuttle and point which part of the floor should be wiped? :D

[bakarijankone]

h My God....
Saina really wasted the lead on the second game.....
Uh....

[etudiant]

hey, glad that u still remember that.. anyway, we have to call back thomas laybourn to continue post in this forum again!;):)

[venkatesh]

lol, naughty venkatesh...that's what we called women power:cool::p

Oh! Don't you know? They jog together in the morning. What were you thinking?

[Wong8Egg]

I will pray for LD vs TH for final before I sleep tonight. Amen.

[george@chongwei]

Where is George? Dropping his pants now ?
WHY? missing me is it? ;) My pants is still ok..How's yours?
How long have you been waiting for this?:confused: i predict, quite long huh?:rolleyes:

That's a very HOLY of you..may your wish came true.. i wish sony would have beat lin dan tomorrow.:D:D:D

[george@chongwei]

Hah???he is BC's member?????really???
look at this>> http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=70

cool:)

[venkatesh]

hey, glad that u still remember that.. anyway, we have to call back thomas laybourn to continue post in this forum again!;):)

I love Thomas Laybourn. He's so active on court. Let's hope he gets to be active in BC again. We're gaining popularity, you know ... with JB mentioning us on air.

I guess it's gonna be up to the two tall girls to call the shots who's gonna win. And let's not make LYD's being also an MD semifinalist an excuse. He joined two disciplines, therefore, he's aware of what might happen.

[george@chongwei]

this time danish xd really amazes me though..
joachim/pedersen and juhl/laybourn absolutely silents all the chines fans for sure:D:D

[ctjcad]

...My hunch for the INA squad is 3 representatives will advance to the Semis. Taufik to win over JOJ, Nova & Lilyana to win...and last but not least Sony will replay his 2007 win vs. LCW...:)

disagree for both:p
sdk is not the sdk that won wc silver medal in 2007 anymore

Yup you're right, he's married now
Haha :D:D
;)..any doubt about that??? (although Sony's win this yr isn't in straight games)..;)

I've always felt LCW and SDK are 50-50 when they meet each other. But noticing SDK has been on a roll and he seems to be invigorated with his new marriage, i'm sure he still has that bit of motivation going for him. Add that with the fact that SDK scalped LCW in the 2007 WC, in M'sia if i may add, thus the hunch for a SDK win.

The QF Rd turned out to have some pretty good affairs. The only surprise for me, personally, was the loss of all 3 XD pairs. Too bad i couldn't get any livestream to watch it.

My next hunch is................................................ ..........i'll reveal it in the Semifinals thread..;)

[venkatesh]

this time danish xd really amazes me though..
joachim/pedersen and juhl/laybourn absolutely silents all the chines fans for sure:D:D
The question is ... would they be able to continue their winning streak until the finals? That remains to be seen

Let us all retire in preparation for tomorrow's matches.

Alas! It has been a heart-pounding day. But we need rest.

[huangkwokhau]

INA;s performance is not bad after all..

China has 10 reps
INA has 3
KOR/MAS/DEN has 2
France has 1

It seems that KOR deoends on LYD/LHJ as INA depends on NOVA?butet and TH,...come on Sony..

lol, marriage gives him motivation :D Imagine next time when LD gets married :D

[ctjcad]

lol, marriage gives him motivation :D Imagine next time when LD gets married :D
..for Sony, that feeling of "i'm the man in charge now" and perhaps to show that he's really been training despite all the opposite reports abt him being not training prior to his wedding. Maybe also to bring his new bride a present?? Maybe also his desire to meet up with LD for another shot at a rematch from the 2007 WC MS Final??..They're all part of his motivation.;)
The next time LD gets married (i don't know when), most likely he will no longer play professional baddy..

[george@chongwei]

that means lcw also must faster marry wong mew choo also..then both players will be having great confidence in their game:D

SDK is no slough being top 2 player from INA...I think SDK has more medals in majors (AE, OLY, WC and AG) than a lot of players including Datuk if you check them out.
On paper and skills, Datuk should excel but I think it comes down to nerve on game day and facing a player that has beaten him before. Now, Pemuda must be chuckling with his prediction on MAS MS...Pemuda must be waiting for the MD to play out before he makes his grand return to BC..:D:p

[george@chongwei]

and how tough and how long your tough birdie will last untill it 'explode' ??:D:p

[whack_d_net]

that means lcw also must faster marry wong mew choo also..then both players will be having great confidence in their game:D

Yeah and maybe in Oly 2012 they could be the next Susi and Alan :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Last year, LD and XXF failed to reach that golden pair status :eek: :eek:
Poor XXF, she anxiously waiting to make soup for LD
Unfortunately, LD seems doesn't care at all
LOL :cool: :cool:
....
Anyway, where's @Pemuda btw?

[ctjcad]

...
..i don't know if LCW & WMC should marry quickly or if they are gonna be the next Alan & Susy in 2012 OG, but i've mentioned in another recent thread, in the Professional Players forum, that if i'm LCW's manager or coach, i will tell him to focus on winning the major titles from now on. His focus now should be on winning the major titles. Since he lost again in this yr's WC, then he has 2 more chances to claim that WC title. As well as 2 more chances to claim the AE title. The sooner he gets them, of course, the better. Once he gets both of those titles, then i'd tell him to focus on the 2012 OG. If need be, take 1 yr to really prepare himself, by playing in less tourneys. His window of opportunity is still there, but it's gonna get smaller and smaller.

...Now, Pemuda must be chuckling with his prediction on MAS MS...Pemuda must be waiting for the MD to play out before he makes his grand return to BC..:D:p
..the part abt LCW having nerves issues in big stage>pressure is one part. He is after all one of 2 faves to win this whole thing (same in my book). But to play away from KL & in a non-Final match and he still has nerves issue?? More to do also with his opponent and their past meeting..
As for Pemuda, yeah, he's probably smiling. I'd love for him to show up again. Maybe we all can shower him with confettis and flowers when he returns..:cool:

[ctjcad]

gosh the video quality is really bad....I wish it was england who hosts this event again....
..ENG will get a chance to host the 2011 WC..Next yr, the WC will be in France. So, my guess is the quality of livestream should be better..:cool:

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
..really?? Sony really said that?? where did you get the news from??..

Anyway, to recap the QF day..

Badminton: Top-ranked Lee and Zhou bite the dust
Posted: 15 August 2009 0318 hrs

HYDERABAD, India : World number ones Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia and Zhou Mi of Hong Kong crashed out of the world badminton championships here on Friday, losing in the quarter-finals.

Fifth-seeded Chinese Xie Xingfang pulled off the day's first upset when she downed top-seeded Zhou 21-15, 21-18 in 47 minutes to enter the women's singles semi-finals.

Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro, seeded sixth, then shattered top-seeded Lee's dream of winning the maiden world title with a 21-16, 14-21, 21-12 victory in the men's singles quarter-finals.

"I have beaten him before and the strategy this time was to attack because if I had slowed down he would have attacked," said Kuncoro, who will clash with fifth-seeded Lin Dan.

"I was a little bit down in the second game but I picked myself up in the third. I always stay focused and relaxed. Tomorrow's game is going to be equally difficult."

Defending champion Lin was involved in an exciting 49-minute match with third-seeded Peter Gade of Denmark before winning 22-20, 21-16.

Xie, looking for a record third World title, conceded that she had to fight for each point against Zhou.

"It was not an easy match. It was very close and tough," said Xie, who will meet France's Pi Hongyan.

"Zhou Mi is a great player and I have played her before many times. I respect her game. The important thing was that I had to remain patient and I managed that towards the closing stages which helped me win the match."

The other semi-final will be contested between seventh-seeded Lu Lan and second-seeded Wang Lin of China.

Wang ended India's challenge with a 21-16, 21-19 victory over sixth-seeded Saina Nehwal.

Pi staged a remarkable rally to overcome 11th-seeded German Juliane Schenk 15-21, 21-15, 21-19, while Lu outplayed a rusty Tine Rasmussen of Denmark 21-15, 21-13.

"I didn't expect to win here and my performance was far below the top level," said the third-seeded Rasmussen, playing her first tournament in five months due to an ankle injury.

"In fact, I should not have been here because I haven't fully recovered. I started playing matches only a week ago. I have beaten her in the All-England Super Series final last year, but today I was nowhere near my best."

The Chinese said she was better prepared this time after having lost to Rasmussen in England.

"I was able to stop her from playing an attacking game," said Lu. "I lost to her last year, but I was not thinking about that. I was better prepared this time. I just went and played my shots."

Pi had to struggle for points against the German, but kept her cool under pressure to make her maiden semi-final appearance at this event.

"I am really happy to reach the semi-finals," said Pi.

"She played very good and I had to keep changing my tactics. It was one of those matches where you can lose in a short period. It was a close game.

"After losing the first game, I just kept telling myself 'don't give up, don't make mistakes. You have to believe in yourself'."

Schenk, who had upset fourth-seeded Chinese Wang Yihan in the previous round, matched the Frenchwoman for a major part of the 62-minute encounter before losing control in the final stages.

Fourth-seeded Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia was also involved in a tough match before qualifying for the semi-finals with a 21-19, 21-19 win over Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen.

"It was a hard match," said Taufik, who trailed 16-19 in the opening game.

"You have to keep your cool in such situations. That's the secret. I have been in such a situation before. I am lucky that I am in the bottom half of the draw which is not as tough as the top."

Hidayat will take on second-seeded Chinese Chen Jin, a 21-10, 21-13 winner against Indonesian Simon Santoso.
