No INA player...

looks interesting, i wonder if WCH can beat BCL given he's just beaten CJ.
expect LD to dominate the bottom half as usual.

hope so... but suspect China would have come up with a game plan for WCH!

possibly, i have a feeling that might be a one-off, but one can always hope.

will LYD really play in china masters after his injury??

in the XD, ZB/MJ broke up? or are they doing something similar to the MD of CY/FHF?

WCH will probably be beaten by BCL imo, cuz i think the chinese coaches will not take him lightly this time around. Nonetheless, i hope he passes through ! MAS BOLEH !

Could we be seing a LCW-LD finals this time around ?

LCW may have a hard time against Gong Weijie. Gong may have the upper hand at home against LCW.

Bah dont think so la, unless LCW REALLY plays a bad game. The last time they met, if I recall nicely, LCW has no trouble at all. Now you may be right if the crowd becomes as scary as in the Olympic finals (omg that was really gr8 support)

Almost all bdm top-names will participate this SS except INA shuttlers who decide to withdraw as reported earlier by Hauge.

Most baddy fans will wait another LCW-LD showdown in finale after last time at Sudirman Cup semifinal last May.

Few entries in MD department where there're 5 pairs get free ticket to progress automatically into second round.

Some very intersting matches in early rounds,...WCH vs Tanongsak, PG vs CL, LCW vs GWJ.......maybe WCH vs BCL...

Any idea why INA team skip this tournament..........?

MD,WD,XD are almost chinese team....CHN versus CHN...less attractive...
this tournament seems like regularly excercise for them....
what make the other player miss this tournament?

Probably due to the China's infamous setting of umpires/service judegs/line judges all from China... Remember last year JJS/LYD withdrew the game for their unfair judges.

The doubles event are no events now. Only Chinese names visible, hardly any challenge to them.
I got very few players to cheer now - Indonesia/India not appearing :crying::crying:

i tink lyd/jjs needs support badly since it is at d chinese homeground where many "surprises" comes in lets cheer them on!!!:p

Unfortunately it's not as famous as Korea's

Yup, overall home players totally dominate this SS, it's challenge for others to win title here...
Also good luck to you at PAW game!

Can't see the draws cos i dun have Excel. D:

Hope it gets uploaded to tournamentsoftware soon.

This is very unusual for Super Series... It's a great shame for CHN.

How can they set CHN umpires and service judges for the games of CHN players?

korean line judges are unfair too you know
remember last year korean open Lin Dan vs Lee Hyun Ill? :rolleyes:
not that i'm a fan of LD or what but it's still unfair

Probably due to the China's infamous setting of umpires/service judegs/line judges all from China... Remember last year JJS/LYD withdrew the game for their unfair judges.

any video proof for us to view on poor chinese line judging skill?

i can find one that summarizes KOR line judging talent.

#3 zhu lin is playing WD??? =O :eek: this is new rite???

..since this China Masters SS is basically turning out to be a semi-national tourney, a mix and match pairing like that is not surprising..

Btw, that pairing along with a few others were also brought up earlier in this thread below:

.and wait for our suetyan, one of BC's in-house CHN team "experts", to chime in..;)

Any idea why INA team skip this tournament..........?

Indonesia Passes on China Badminton Masters

After coming home empty-handed from the world championships last month, the Indonesian national team is taking a little more time to lick its wounds.

No national shuttlers will compete in the China Masters Super Series, which is scheduled for Sept. 15-20. The decision was made after meetings between coaches and Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) officials.

PBSI head of athletes’ development Lius Pongoh said the association wanted to give shuttlers more time before the Japan Open Super Series on Sept. 22-27.

Few Indonesian shuttlers, whether on the national team or professionals, have been consistently successful this year. Nova Widianto and Liliyana Natsir won the country’s only Super Series title, the Malaysia Open mixed doubles crown in January.

Taufik Hidayat is the last Indonesian to win a title, taking top spot in men’s singles at the third-tier US Grand Prix in July.

“It's been seven months since the last title Indonesia won. The PBSI thinks it's better to give a longer preparation time to the athletes before they play in Japan,” Lius said on Wednesday.

The PBSI, Lius said, will send 18 players to Japan, all of whom represented Indonesia at the world championship.

Even with more preparation time, though, the association will not heap too much expectation on the shuttlers, placing most of its hopes for a title in mixed and men’s doubles.

“We won’t be hoping much from mixed double as we used to. Nova is getting older,” Lius said.

The PBSI moved to partner Liliyana with a younger shuttler. She teamed up with Muhammad Rijal at the Taiwan Grand Prix Gold last month and reached the quarterfinals.

Men’s doubles world No. 1 pair Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan return after missing the world championship when Markis came down with an illness.

The China Masters has been good to Indonesia in recent years. Vita Marissa and Liliyana won the women’s doubles title in 2007, and the country came away with two victories in 2008 through Sony Dwi Kuncoro (men’s singles) and Markis and Hendra (men’s doubles).

looking at the WD and XD draws....all i can say is WTF?
sooner or later badminton will be a domestic sport in china :D

seen that before, typical of the Korean home advantages. Also typical is the impeccable behaviour of the Indonesian players(*), with great professionalism and attitude against Korean’s criminal act for the world to see.

*- with the exception of you know who.

Alan, dont need the (*).....actually the empire over ruled that line call immediately, thats why you see Limpele was still cool with it..........its not because of his 'impeccable behaviour' ;)..............i am sure every player will burst out if the call like that happens against him/her.......:D:D

Can't wait til' this event starts!

WCH will have a hard time beating the Thai Player. He might not even have the chance to meet BCL.

WCH might even lose in the first round .

Man, Look throught recently tournements, I find that Supper "Dan" and Giant "Chen" often meet each other before one of them go to the final match! at WC, lindan was champion but what will happen in China master? Is it true that, Mr Lin will prove his generous once again? (the same as he did in Indonesia open 2009). Pls write more comments on this:D

According to press reports, LCW will play in China Masters & Japan Open after all. After that, he will come back to undergone surgery on his right thigh to remove a small growth. Rashid Sidek says it's just a minor injury.

sting: the simple answer is: this is China :D

what happend to the England team? Can't find my favorite player Nathan neither in MD nor in XD, not in China and also not in the Japan draw. Did they finish the season while skipping the WC in India? Does anybody know anything? Do they take a long break until the All England?

Yikes, it seems that this year's China Masters SS kinda turns out to be like national competition for CHN team :p :p
Too many red army, IMO :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Well, since INA camp skip this tourney, maybe i should start to support another non-CHN players
Not that i dislike CHN players,
but i guess it'll be super duper boring event, if -lets say- all SF spots dominated by CHN
Hahaha :D :D

sting: the simple answer is: this is China :D
couldn't be more agreed to your answer ;)

I read it somewhere on a chinese website, most nations are either skipping because of in-depth training or preparation for Japan Open. Most countries pulled out so China decided to test out their team 2 players.

They need to train for their national games which will be held at the end of the year.

Re-draw at the MS competition. LCW and LD same half.
