KKK/TBH are afraid of Kido/Hendra
For sure that's not the reason why they withdraw from HKG open.

For sure that's not the reason why they withdraw from HKG open.

I agree or else they would be skipping every single tournament from the HK Open ;)

I guess, it's shopping time for Super Dan & XXF. Good chance for LCW and maybe even Taufik to win a title (1st for the latter)..too bad for all the fans who want to see LD in action..;)

Hong Kong Open suffers blow as Lin and Wang pull out

Chan Kin-wa
Nov 09, 2009

The Hong Kong Super Series Open has suffered a major setback following the withdrawals of some key players.

Lin Dan, China's Olympic singles champion in Beijing, said yesterday that he was too tired to play at the HK$2 million tournament, which starts at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai today. In the women's singles, Wang Chen, the defending champion and home favourite, also withdrew because of injury.

Lin, who is also the reigning world champion, arrived in Hong Kong on Friday for a series of promotional activities for the Chinese Athletes Education Foundation before playing his first match on Wednesday. But Lin said during one of these activities yesterday that he would withdraw from the tournament because of his recent hectic schedule.

He had just returned from the French Super Series before his arrival in Hong Kong last week. He defeated Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia 2-0 in the final to clinch the men's singles title.

Tournament organisers said last night that they had yet to receive Lin's withdrawal, while chairman of the Hong Kong Badminton Association Tong Wai-lun said it would be a big loss if Lin, seeded second in the Hong Kong event, had pulled out.

"We have not heard anything on this, but we all know Lin is very popular in Hong Kong," Tong said. "His withdrawal will definitely affect the quality of the draw."

Lin lost to compatriot Chen Jin in the final of last year's event.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong team coach Chan Chi-choi said that Wang had yet to recover from a nagging injury that had kept the player out of competition since September.

"We hope she can start in next week's China Super Series but it depends on her progress," said the coach.

LD better conserves his energy for the next three big ones....

Watch out !!!! Kido/ Hendra have "ressurected" from their slumber.

Malaysian pairs are getting nervous now when facing K/H. I have always regarded KKK/TBH as one of the most self-confident players. But, when they met K/H recently, their confidence seemed to diminish.

ANY Chinese pairs when playing K/H have never defeated K/H recently....[one of the toughest jobs for the Chinese MD coaching team]

JJS/LYD are , I guess, the toughest pairs for K/H to defeat,

Danish and ENglish pairs. Although they often defeat K/H, luckily, K/H seldom meet them as they often lose in early rounds.

The longer he conserves his energy, the better for all:D

I 10000% support LD's strategy and highly recommend him to often conserve his energy.

It will be tough for any player to attend all : HKG, China, SSM
and East Asia. For LD, if he can only attend three, then dropping HKG is his best option :mad:.

[CLELY]

Sorry to hear that....but this is a good opportunity for other players ....:D

LD withdrawal surely delivers good news for SDK:)

[jasonmarc]

LD is just for Majors................dont bother him with those non - majors....

Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng withdrew too because Fu injured during training.

[george@chongwei]

wah.. so many players withdrew??? whats the reason of all this..ng wei also withdraw:eek:

[george@chongwei]

why so sacarstic?:confused: i thought it should be a good news to koo/tan too:p:rolleyes:

Nope, george...Ng Wei is promoted to enter main draw (replaces Dicky Palyama) and will face the top-seed, your hero at first round;)

not sure. so now do you believe rudy or ts?:D

[jasonmarc]

not sure. so now do you believe rudy or ts?:D

Dont know who right who wrong.....but i personally think NW not withdraw as this is his home ground in HK............the locals like to cheer for him.....unless he is suffering with serious injury or sickness........;);)

[ctjcad]

i got the same confirmation from Hau-ge that FuHF is withdrawing.

Too tired...??
what the ...........................
..showing his age, possibly??..:confused:

i dont think this is the correct rate:rolleyes:
..i think that's just a rough number (HK$2Mil = $258,064.51) If i'm not mistaken the prize money of this HK Open is $250,000. So, close enough lah..

LD withdrawal surely delivers good news for SDK:)
..not only for SDK, but to Taufik and/or Simon. Any one of those 3 could finally reach the Final Rd..;)
Maybe LinDan saw 3 of the INA MS players in his half of the draw and noticed his first Rd. opponent is SDK, thus he thought otherwise..;)

The truth is LD is actually affraid of SDK....

[kuwichert]

so there is not the match Sony - Dan we gotta talk about, now it's Choong Hann vs Sony:eek:
WCH was struggling heavily on Saturday, it looked like he just won because of Kestutis Navickas' injury early in the rubber :confused: - he was doing well in the MD before, he said something went wrong in his head when going down in second single game, but for HK he hopes to be fit - and he should, not so cold there:cool:

Anyway, whoever gets to 3rd round has obvisiously to eliminate the still bold 'WTGTMS':D before Taufik takes over:cool::cool::cool:

if some of the girls withdraw, we should think about how to donate a ticket for Olga, she played pretty well beating Juliane Schenk and in the mixed match she was even much better:eek: unfortunately she's not going to China:mad:

[huangkwokhau]

not sure. so now do you believe rudy or ts?:D
TS is right...Ng Wei is playing..just talked to him today...

[huangkwokhau]

Zheng Bo/Majin as well as Xu Chen/Guo Chen dong withdrew...I guess LYD/JJS is so lucky...

[volcom]

wow... that is really a lot!....

[nokh88]

IBF should do something about all this late withdrawals. It's acceptable if it is genuine due to injuries. It's not doing the sport any good.

[volcom]

It is quite ridiculous .......... unbelievable

[robin7]

With LD's withdrawal, Sony has virtually been promoted to 2nd seed.

Last minute withdrawal from CHN is doing the sport no good.

[Sandy]

The problem is the draw was held too early

Look at ATP & WTA,
Qual draw held on Friday and the match started on Saturday
Main Draw held on Sat/Sun and the match started on Monday

[leonardklh]

how come china player? withdrew at the very last minute?

[kuwichert]

It is quite ridiculous .......... unbelievable

why? it's not first time they do so, and everybody knows that they do not care about the sports, the spectators or anything else outside the mainland at all:mad:
let the others take the money and that's it:eek: I just do believe that LD fans will come out with some ridiculous comments if Taufik appears on the SS winner list next:D

[kuwichert]

The problem is the draw was held too early

Look at ATP & WTA,
Qual draw held on Friday and the match started on Saturday
Main Draw held on Sat/Sun and the match started on Monday

it wouldn't change anything:eek: there is no chance to change their thinking:D

[volcom]

lemme join them :D:D

SIGH! I wish I could too :D:D... but it's a long way from Vancouver

[jyeung]

What's worse, withdrawal or staging a loss like LD did last year to CJ in the HKO?

[ytyang]

CHN has done poor planning on sending players to HKG open.
In my opinion, CHN's early withdrawal has something more to do with tight schedule than simply because of bad draws.
If we look at the withdrawal list, they are all eligible for SSM finals.
http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/ranking.aspx?rid=77
It seems that CHN won't boycott SSM this year. And CHN certainly wants all its top
players to participate CHN open and East Asian games for national honor.
I won't be too surprised to see non-CHN players/pairs to withdraw from CHN open if
they plan to attend both SSM and East Asian games.
Can LCW, CJ, WL or even WYH sustain all four tournaments? tough...

[nokh88]

What's worse, withdrawal or staging a loss like LD did last year to CJ in the HKO?

Both...................

[nokh88]

IBF should enforce some form of punishment for late withdrawals to all players, except sickness and injuries. This is not fair to the spectators who may spend a hefty amount of money coming from the other side of the globe, just to state the extreme.

[indra]

Be positive with the withdrawal of Chinese players.....

The absence of Chinese players in any SS tournament should be a blessing for other players.....Badminton without Chinese players is still OK....

I personally feel happy if the Chinese players don't participate and happier if they participate but the winners are non-Chinese players.

So if many Chinese top players will not play in Hongkong, it is good news for the other players. We will then see new champions.

[CLELY]

Zheng Bo/Majin as well as Xu Chen/Guo Chen dong withdrew...I guess LYD/JJS is so lucky...

Yup, Jae Sung/Young Dae get free ticket to enter R/16.

South east asia consists of Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Philliphines, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea. :) Both east asia games and south east asia games are held in December too, but they are different. :)

Not really. The match should be 50 : 50. I will support Tsuen Seng because he long time never won the match and lose to unknown seed easily. This is the good chance for him right now. So,, Tsuen Seng will play his personal to win SIMON.
