World Championships 2009 day Seven(Aug 16, 09) FINAL!

[tommy_bun]

seems that KR will be the winner.... heehhehe......

go FuCai

DOnt be so pesimistic...I know U like FHF/CY :D:p:D:p

[LI De Quan]

come on , guys !!!I must go to sleep after your win,it's already late!!!If you guys lose,I can't have a nice sleep tonight!!jia you!!

[abedeng]

JJS dives in vain.

[vanxiaoyi]

gosh!! GO KOREANS!!!!!!

[samuel882]

Chinese should channel their attacks towards JJS. He is in poor form now

[tommy_bun]

C;mon Lee Yong Dae...
No....It should be FHF/CY :D:D

[Heong]

ZOMGGG Nuuuuu China is leading by two points!!

C'mon Korea!!! Catch up!

10-8

[panasonic_chai]

CHN wins again ...zzz

[abedeng]

Korean game in shambles.

[vanxiaoyi]

oh, GO Lee Yong Dae, GO Jung Jae Sung!!

[badMania]

The revitalized Fu/Cai lead 11-8 at the interval of the decider. 10 more pts for their 2nd World Championships.....

[panasonic_chai]

LYD looks tired now..

[samuel882]

The service fault call on FHY temp halt the chinese momentum

[panasonic_chai]

watsup with the service judge today?!?!

[FuWang]

DOnt be so pesimistic...I know U like FHF/CY :D:p:D:p


hahahha..... yup.... but have just their match.... or i'm scare they will lost.... hahahaha

[abedeng]

JJS rushes the net.

[samuel882]

The presence of LYB on coach bench certainly gives more pressure to Feng Yun

[simonlovers]

Lee Yong Dae...
Jung Jae Sung..
C'mon Lee Yong Dae..

[Heong]

YES! Korea is making a comeback after the mid-game interval!!

GO KOREA!

but China still leads 12-11.

[panasonic_chai]

come on LYD in the front , pls do some damage!

[Heong]

Koreans need to attack more!! C'mon! Don't let them smash you! ):

[panasonic_chai]

korean with their zigzag smashes!! awesome

[abedeng]

Koreans do a zig-zag attack.

[whack_d_net]

Omg, what a match :)
Had MK/HS didn't withdraw from this WC, i still doubt if they're able to defeat both in-form CY/FHF and LYD/JJS
A real finale :p :p

[panasonic_chai]

JJS !!! come on don give up.....

[aresya]

jae sung ...oh ...jae sung

[badMania]

I think it might be the same story as yesterday. Fu/Cai were leading at the interval but Jung/Lee to win it eventually!

[Heong]

C'mon LYD/JJS, win this next point!!!

it's all level at 14-14!!

SUCH A CLOSE MATCH!
Anyone could win this one.

[panasonic_chai]

JJS looks pressurised now..
omg

[badMania]

Omg, what a match :)
Had MK/HS didn't withdraw from this WC, i still doubt if they're able to defeat both in-form CY/FHF and LYD/JJS
A real finale :p :p

With Kido's present condition, the revitalized Fu/Cai will destroy them.

[panasonic_chai]

16-14
aiyoh.... looks like over soon

[meetjinx]

Looks like they are loosing it now.. go CY-FHF

[Heong]

NUUUUUUUU!!! China is winning by two points! ):

C'mon Korea, chase up chase up!

[badMania]

16-14
aiyoh.... looks like over soon

Don't be too pessimistic....

[abedeng]

CY complains that the shuttle hit LYD. Umpire doesn't agree

[panasonic_chai]

oh... did the shuttle touch LYD?

[samuel882]

The birdie seems touch LYD shirts but still call out by line judges. 16-all. no overrule

[badMania]

Every time the CHN pair has a lead, the KOR pair will level it. KOR has the edge in the deciding few pts....

[whack_d_net]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[panasonic_chai]

18-16 pulling away now.... sad

[badMania]

The CHN pair is leading by 2 yet again...18-16. Crucial moments for both pairs!

[Heong]

It's coming towards the end!!

And China's leading by two points!
This is trouble.

C'mon Korea!!!

[tommy_bun]

AYo.....FU/CAI...........

[panasonic_chai]

LYD gave his all in that smash.. haha

[abedeng]

Tit for tat battle ends in a CY error, pummelled down by LYD

[samuel882]

CY dropped his rackets on the floor during the rally. KR chase back 17-18

[panasonic_chai]

can see all the stressed he is in..

[simonlovers]

AYo.....FU/CAI...........
C'mon Lee/Jung...

[samuel882]

Now its the time for master tactician LYD to showcase his magic.

[abedeng]

Crosscourt deception by LYD forces FHF to lie down.

[badMania]

As expected, level yet again 18-18. KOR should take this one....

[panasonic_chai]

we not only have jumping smash,, we have diving saves too

[tommy_bun]

FU/CAI....Maintain the lead.......

[abedeng]

Good desperate block from FHF

[samuel882]

What a return from FHY ! Wow !

[feather_guy]

Go FHF/CY!! Win it!!

[tommy_bun]

2 More FU/CAI...........

[panasonic_chai]

[simonlovers]

FU/CAI....Maintain the lead.......
Lee/Jung...level it and win it...!!!

[Heong]

I love it how the Koreans always manages to chase up. ;)

Great mentality.

It's 19-19!!!

This next point maybe the decider!

[abedeng]

Almost immediately, it's back to 24-24.

Incredible match indeed......

[tommy_bun]

FU/CAI.........PLs.........Save the last title......

[abedeng]

LYD's service fault could be Korean downfall

[aresya]

oh no service fault ...poor yong dae

[feather_guy]

Finish it FHF/CY!! One more point!!

[Heong]

C'mon guys!!! Hit 30 and create history in the book of records!

[tommy_bun]

The most exciting match so FAr......

[badMania]

26-26........this must be the best WC match ever!

And now 27-26....6th match pts to Fu/Cai!

[Heong]

[badMania]

Finally, Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun win their 2nd World Championships titles on their 6th match pts! What a match....full marks to both pairs for providing us with such an entertaining and nail-biting match!

As for Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae, a crushing 2nd defeat in the Final. Come back next year okay? ;)

[panasonic_chai]

congrats to winner..

[Heong]

hey loser, get mentality my ass.
thanks for your compliment

[LI De Quan]

I love you guys !!!!!!!!:crying:

[samuel882]

So Its human's victory over the machine ! :p

[syrence5261]

congratz china!! but korea you still the best!!

[badMania]

I have to say that Fu/Cai look really revitalized under Zhang Jun. Just when we thought that Cai Yun was going to retire after a tough 2008; they really come back in style in 2009! Bad news for INA, MAS, and DEN pairs though :o

[vanxiaoyi]

AH, korea lost, so so so sad :(

[ericmeiguo]

what a game! CY FHF!

[k_sakic]

Fu/Cai IS AWESOME

[badMania]

stop dreaming bitch.

That's the 2nd time you have insulted BC members. I am reporting to the mods and you might just get yourself banned :cool:

[yen_saw]

feel sorry fr the KOR pair they fought like mad.... coming back to final in WC again isn't easy with so many pairs in close standard.

[vanxiaoyi]

i wanna see the photo of LYD and CY tapping each others' heads after the game, haha

[Heong]

stop dreaming bitch.
Watch your language.

It's already hard enough to see my team lose and your insults are not making it any better.

Keep your cool.

[LI De Quan]

everyone,WC is over.Good night!!!!

[vanxiaoyi]

lost in final for the 2nd time, dissapointing

[jasonmarc]

What a great match.................i nearly cant breath..........Congratulation to the winner
FHF/CY....................also congratulate LYD/JJS for such a wonderful fighting sipirit........

[yen_saw]

Both MAS pairs on podium now

[yen_saw]

i was really thinking the match will be decide by sudden death at 29:29 :P

[suetyan]

my heart beat so fast during the game, finally Feng/Yun won!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing match!!!!! I nearly fainted just now!!!

[ctjcad]

so, anyone still alive after that last match??...just saw the score and live broadcast..
too bad for the KORs and congrats to FHF & CY..
congrats to all 4 pairs...i think all 4 of them are pretty much even, esp. with the scoreboard for each of their match...

As for the rest of you guys in this thread, please don't be too emotional...

[whack_d_net]

I feel bad for LYD/JJS :crying:
They must be really upset r8 now, after such gruelling efforts,
but yet turns out to be another runner-up podium finish :mad:
Congratz Fu/Cai for your 2nd WC :)
Wheew, what a match :cool:
I thought it was going to ended up till 30-29 :p :p

[feather_guy]

China wins 4 Titles, one more than the last WC.

[samuel882]

my heart beat so fast during the game, finally Feng/Yun won!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing match!!!!! I nearly fainted just now!!!
Haha , Remember what I've told you? ;)

[Heong]

That's the 2nd time you have insulted BC members. I am reporting to the mods and you might just get yourself banned :cool:
Thanks badMania, I appreciate it. :)

Anyhows, great match overall!
Although they didn't hit the 30 mark, it was quite a show to see both pairs fighting so hard, it could have gone either way and i could imagine how delighted the Chinese are in winning this title. Well deserved.

[qczhao]

i nearly broke the laptop in excitement / tension / nervousness, whatever...

what an unbelievable match.

so happy for CHN

[k22eva]

T_T ,yong dae...

[fengyunfan]

I'm crying. Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng, we love you!!!!!!

[SibugiChai]

very tension... worthy of a world championship match!

[alexyong]

Oh god My HEART!

Congratulation to BOTH pairs.

[whack_d_net]

CHN big winners today with 4 gold :cool:
Special credits for DEn XD pairs though,
Otherwise, CHN might be sweep away all the golds :eek: :eek:
Better luck for INA, MAS, KOR @ forthcoming WC, next year in Paris ;)

[ctjcad]

my heart beat so fast during the game, finally Feng/Yun won!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing match!!!!! I nearly fainted just now!!!
heart attacks anyone??..;)

wow, it is so difficult to reach the Finals Rd. 2 yrs in a row, yet the KORs have done so and were just inches away from winning it all..Personally, and not to take away anything from the Chinese, but i thought Cai Yun & FHF got just a bit lucky this yr by not having to possibly face the INA top MD pair..They took the advantage & here they are..

So, only 2 teams managed to take home the hardware...wow..

My hope next yr is all the top MD pairs will be back, even with the newly formed partnership of Kido or Setiawan..

[jasonmarc]

very tension... worthy of a world championship match!

Yes, a truly world championship final match.....WD, WS also good.:D

[yen_saw]

just like that, the WC is over..... again, except for LD, the rest of BC's predicted champ failed to win.

[suetyan]

I'm crying. Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng, we love you!!!!!!
YEAH!! Feng/Yun, I love you too!! You show us everything is possible. You touch my heart. I did follow them to sing the national anthem just now, did you? :D

[vanxiaoyi]

i had heart attack
almost cried, just a little more, this is already the 2nd time
cant express my dissapoinment :(

[badders2006]

2 x WC, 2 X AE. I think CY and FHY must feel so satisfied with their careers right now. They know they have fully realised their potential and although they have suffered some hard defeats in finals in the past, they will be more than happy with their CV to date. Sure, they lost in the OG final, but they both knew in their heart of hearts that they lost to the better pair, which is why they both looked so happy and content to have won the Olympic silver medal.

[suetyan]

Haha , Remember what I've told you? ;)
yes yes, I still remember. ;)

[k_sakic]

Cai/Fu are the best team in the world

[DivingBirdie]

i was jumping up from my seat since the score was like 18 or so....and when i got exhausted from jumping the match haven't ended!! So many desperate dives...and both pairs displayed just how much they wanted to win...

i wonder if jung can fall asleep tonight....

[badders2006]

heart attacks anyone??..;)

My hope next yr is all the top MD pairs will be back, even with the newly partnership of Kido or Setiawan..

Well, although I am a big CHN fan, in my opinion the best MD pair in the world today didn't participate at these World Championships.

I think FHF and CY know deep down that they are second to MK/HS, which is why the Chinese do not regret coming away with OE silver medal.

[eaglehelang]

I hope China & Korea fans didnt have heart attack or fainted during the last part of the rubber. Great match! COngrats to FU/cai for their 2nd WC

[extremenanopowe]

Awesome display in mens doubles. Well done. Speed and Power and some wits of course. ;)

[yen_saw]

Well, although I am a big CHN fan, in my opinion the best MD pair in the world today didn't participate at these World Championships.

I think FHF and CY know deep down that they are second to MK/HS, which is why the Chinese do not regret coming away with OE silver medal.

But now THAT pair's ability is in question now...... unless MK/HS can comeback in the next few SS it will be tough in this competitive MD department

[SHLAU]

CHN big winners today with 4 gold :cool:
Special credits for DEn XD pairs though,
Otherwise, CHN might be sweep away all the golds :eek: :eek:
Better luck for INA, MAS, KOR @ forthcoming WC, next year in Paris ;)


Yeah. Total embarassment to other nations if that happens and it almosts happens looking in the hindsight. :rolleyes: We are indebted to Denmark in this sense.

[aresya]

congratulations to fu haifeng & cai yun ...

congratulations to lee yong dae & jung jae sung

thankyou for the most entertaining match of the year

[eaglehelang]

What a great match.................i nearly cant breath..........Congratulation to the winner
FHF/CY....................also congratulate LYD/JJS for such a wonderful fighting sipirit........

So, any China/Korea fans needed madbad ambulance just now? Syok watching them, both pairs sooo determined to nail it.:D


That's the 2nd time you have insulted BC members. I am reporting to the mods and you might just get yourself banned :cool:
Wah, what's with that fellow? Good thing I was watching the gaem on my telly.

[DivingBirdie]

cai yun was bold at the net today. he needs someone like setiawan to challenge his dominance up front

and fortunately today fu didn't crack even when he was aimed

[badders2006]

But now THAT pair's ability is in question now...... unless MK/HS can comeback in the next few SS it will be tough in this competitive MD department

yeh, i know MK/HS had their problems of late, so actually I shouldn't have said "best team right now" because that's ignoring FORM.

I suppose I meant to say, if every pair played at their very best and maxed out, MK/HS are the best MD pair in the world. So I was just speaking in the purest sense of "best pair in the world today" :o Anyway, the 08 Olympics really did confirm who are the best and 2nd best MD pairs in the world in my opinion :)

[eaglehelang]

In future, there may or may not be MK/Hendra pairing anymore. The INA fans have been saying, with Kido's knees & noq high blood pressure, maybe Hendra S need new partner. By then, the equation changes again.

[ctjcad]

Yes, a truly world championship final match.....WD, WS also good.:D
..wow, i totally missed the exciting WD match...totally crashed out while watching the 2nd game when the Juniors were leading....congrats to ZTT & ZYW..

just like that, the WC is over..... again, except for LD, the rest of BC's predicted champ failed to win.
..not everyone lah:p..Some of us predicted some of the winners also..I, myself, predicted 3 out of 5 correct..I didn't expect the INA XD pair to have such a melt down and lost in 2 games..

So, any China/Korea fans needed madbad ambulance just now? Syok watching them, both pairs sooo determined to nail it.:D
...
..after seeing the scoreboard, i thought both pairs are equal, it really could've gone either way..

[ctjcad]

..this MD match generated the most pages in this thread, 16 pages out of 40 pages, about 1/3 of this thread!!..:p

[k22eva]

i had heart attack
almost cried, just a little more, this is already the 2nd time
cant express my dissapoinment :(

i understand your feeling, it's the same feeling that i had when ac milan lost to liverpool:crying:

[ctjcad]

Black shirt rule seems to apply here.
..truly. At least for the Finals Rd. ;)

As we can see from the court, Lu Lan is no longer the previous Lu Lan. She has become fiercer. She will shout for every point she wins. She is not soft anymore. I think she learnt something from Wang Yihan and Wang Lin. :D
..i think she learned a lot from her lost in the Olympics last yr..She cried tears of sadness & disappointment last yr, but i bet she is now crying tears of happiness and joy, although she played her compatriots..Congrats to Lu Lan also!:cool:

[suetyan]

Hmm... do you think LL can bt ZM next time when they meet again? :D

[CLELY]

Really superb 75 minutes MD match! CHN team repeats their 2006 success in Madrid, 4 WC titles except XD.

Amazing performance by Laybourn/Rytter-Juhl who knock out world #3, #1 and #2 in quarter, semi and finale. Congratz! In other way, sad ending for INA camp, only 1 silver and 2 bronze this time...

[ctjcad]

Hmm... do you think LL can bt ZM next time when they meet again? :D
..Lu Lan with the same form can beat ZM when they meet again. One player is on the up and up and the other is on the down..
Btw, why mentioned whether LL can beat ZM? Did ZM beat LL before? If so, mind refreshing our mind in which tourney??:confused:

[suetyan]

:eek: Don't you remember? If I'm not mistaken ZM bt LL 5 or 6 consecutive times!! :eek: LL never beaten ZM before. :(

[ctjcad]

:p..i don't remember lah:crying:...My mind is not a Dual Core P4 processor, with 2 GB of memory, 1 GB of hard drive...:(

Btw, when was the last time LL and ZM met each other??..Hopefully LL's career will continue to improve after this big win. CHN WS squad needs a talent like her to keep their dominance rolling, esp. with Xingfang jie jie retiring soon..

[hcpoirot]

Congrats for the winners.

This had to be LD and CY/FHF year. The three of them had won All England and WCH also help their country winning Sudirman Cup this year. They had win all the big titles in 2009.

And ZTT and Juhl/Laybourn had to be very very happy. This is their first prestigious title they won after so many years in badminton circuit.

Specially ZTT who had never had a long term partner in WD . She is more like a subtitute player in CHina team. If one of her teammates injured or retired from national squad , usually she will replace that player. The same can be said for her XD partner. (Only CQQ who she had a long partnership but they never win a big title) You name it, she had patner WYL, GL, YW, ZD etc etc in WD. CQQ, ZB, HHB, SY etc etc in XD.

She must be very happy when she got ZYW (after WYL and GL retired) cause they make a powerful pair.

[suetyan]

:p..i don't remember lah:crying:...My mind is not a Dual Core P4 processor, with 2 GB of memory, 1 GB of hard drive...:(

Btw, when was the last time LL and ZM met each other??..Hopefully LL's career will continue to improve after this big win. CHN WS needs a talent like her to keep their dominance going, esp. with Xingfang jie jie will soon retire..
If I'm not mistaken, it was Denmark Open 2008.

[hcpoirot]

Markis/Hendra was the best MD in 2008 but not 2009 cause of Markis injury. When they come back, they had to prove themselves to be the best again later this year or next year. Even when Markis/Hendra play this year, the results are not that stellar like 2008.

This year the best had to be CY/FHF by winning AE,WC and Sudirman Cup.

Next year, who knows? Maybe CY/FHF again or Markis/Hendra or JJS/LYD or Malaysian pairs or even Denmark pairs.

[badMania]

Well, according to our resident KOR fan's head-to-head stats, the DOMINATING Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae should still remain as the STRONGEST MD in the World from 2008 onwards, despite another heart-breaking loss in the WC Final (yet again) today ;)

JUNG/LEE -- 15/20 (75%)
FU/CAI -- 8/13 (62%)

[ctjcad]

..this yr wasn't "another" heartbreaking loss in the WC for LYD & JJS..:p
In 2007, as expected, they lost to a more seasoned pair in 2 games. So, it wasn't heartbreaking as they weren't expected to even reach the Finals Rd. or even win it.
This yr, yes, it's heartbreaking as the expectation is there. Now, if next yr they end up in the same exact spot, in the Finals and then lose again in the rubber game, then it'll be "another" heartbreaking loss.:p

[badssp07]

According to the above information, which winner or pair would you pick as MVP of 2009 World Champs ?

My pick is Thomas Laybourn & Camilla Rytter-Juhl because they were seeded the lowest among the 5 winners and they have beaten the top 3 seeds, with Lu Lan coming a close 2nd J

I am must point out that China’s dominance is hurting the worldwide development of badminton, hope BWF could figure out something to help …….

..once again and as mentioned many a times by others, that the BWF world rankings don't mean much.
Btw, i concur with Laybourn & Juhl being the MVPs. They had, arguably, the toughest road to the title amongst all of the winners.:cool:

is china try to do a badminton super league (similar as NBA)..... will that help develop worldwide badminton level?

[nitelamp]

Congratz to CHN and Dan and Korea team! You've done your best!

[Chibot]

Congratulations to CY/FHF for becoming the WC 2009.

It's China domination, 4 title bring to home

[ctjcad]

i heard LD is not with XXF anymore. is it just a rumor or what?

Yes,you are right.His girlfriend is Jennifer Li now.
..this is one of the biggest news so far in the whole WC..Is it true??..wait til this news gets passed in the "LD & XXF pics" thread..

Very Explosive 1st set, The chinese success in moving LYD into back court, which is not his preferred position makes the Korean conceded more errors.

korean shld be keeping the birdie low!!
why they keep sending it high up
..i haven't seen the entire match, but i wouldn't be surprised if CY & FHF actually had a better net game than the KORs by forcing LYD away from the net than usual.

Hmm.. I have no idea whether he/she is a boy/girl. :rolleyes: Hope she/he will reply here. :D

[kenny7_2006]

congrats to all winners and finalists, especially MD, for a wonderful week of badminton, and the winners...

maybe if i have the time i shall write a short wrapup of this WC, having watched almost all the matches... where should I put it?

[HiddenPower]

Oh yeah, here is a picture showing their happiness after OG final.


2 x WC, 2 X AE. I think CY and FHY must feel so satisfied with their careers right now. They know they have fully realised their potential and although they have suffered some hard defeats in finals in the past, they will be more than happy with their CV to date. Sure, they lost in the OG final, but they both knew in their heart of hearts that they lost to the better pair, which is why they both looked so happy and content to have won the Olympic silver medal.

I think NBA is an interesting example..we don't think Basketball get uninteresting because US teams are so dominant...do we??

..LI De Quan is a he. You guys can see his pics in the 2008 Beijing Olympics sub-forum. Look for the "OG Who's Going?" thread. Plenty of his pics there..;)

[vpsingh]

Congrats to all the winners (and the losers too) for playing well and letting the fans enjoy best quality badminton.
Thanks to all the overseas players/staff for bidding time with so much security and not running away scared. Sports is still a medium that can defeat fear! :)
Hope to see some of you again in 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi (Malaysia, Singapore, HongKong, Scotland and yes even England, if they dare :D).

At personal level, tournament just showed Chinese are way ahead of others. I was disappointed with Indonesian team especially from Sir Taufik :crying:

[k22eva]
