You'll still need to stay later than I need to. :p:p:p

For me, I am interested in this one:
11:10 am - Joachim PERSSON [6] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=5348CDAD-55A6-4A65-B291-F28D50B709CE&player=5)http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/DEN.gif[DEN] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=5348CDAD-55A6-4A65-B291-F28D50B709CE&c=DEN) vs http://static.tournamentsoftware.com/images/flags/INA.gif[INA] (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=5348CDAD-55A6-4A65-B291-F28D50B709CE&c=INA)Simon SANTOSO (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=5348CDAD-55A6-4A65-B291-F28D50B709CE&player=13)
.

MS R16
Joachim Persson [6] vs Simon Santoso -- as a newly-crowned SS title winner, I will expect Simon to at least challenge Lin Dan in the QF.

Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Taufik Hidayat [4] -- Taufik should beat Yoyo Hashim.

Bao Chunlai vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] -- I don't think Sony can beat Bao today.

MD R16
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Hirokatsu Hashimoto/Noriyasu Hirata -- another Japanese opposition today and hopefully similar results like yesterday.

Chris Langridge/Robin Middleton vs Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan -- I think Bona/Ahsan can progress to the QF and face Boe/Mogensen.

WS R16
Tine Rasmussen [4] vs Adriyanti Firdasari -- a victory for Tine.

WD R16
Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii [8] vs Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda -- it will be a huge upset if Nitya/Grace can beat Suetsuna/Maeda.

Jenny Wallwork/Gabrielle White vs Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati [6] -- it will be unacceptable if Mel/Shendy are to lose.

XD R16
Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa [7] vs Fran Kurniawan/Pia Zebadiah Bernadet -- two all INA matches today and the senior pairs should prevail.

Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita vs Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [2] --see above.

some other matches we need to watch too:
Olga needs to work hard to create a big surprise, hopefully she can beat that new CN-Wang star:eek: guess her chance to get to tomorrow's battles is much better in XD:confused: anyway, would be nice if she can send 3 Chinese back home today:D:D
Nath seems to have an easy task for today, not wasting energy in XD creates the chance for another surprise next days:eek: we gotta watch it:D

no news, today I'm not supporting Mr. Yoyo, Taufik needs to get full support, I wanna see him on top at the end of the week:rolleyes:

You missed Jin Chen vs Dicky Palyama !!

You missed Jin Chen vs Dicky Palyama !!

Badmania was just feature on those matches related to INA players :p....;)

Wow, sorry for INA fans !

I was in Paris yesterday and i noticed that the crowd LOVES Taufik, but others Indonesians aren't known here :(

For Badmania, i'm not really sure that Simon Santoso will beat JP. His match yesterday against Sho Sasaki was really hard !

Saina, Peter and Lady Pi should have easy tasks today :cool:, they don't need our full attention:confused: keep the power for upcoming matches, some Chinese on their way next:D

Since Mark Zwibler is out and Misha Zilbermann is not playing I find lesser intersting matches left:D:D
Joachim vs Simon (Simon Simon Simon:), Joachim is lucky not to lose in first round itself)
Hashim vs Sir Taufik (who dares play against you Sir???)
Bao vs Soni (could be any of them)
Tine vs Adrianti (Go Tine!! Adrianti becoming all too inconsistent)
Saina vs Yip (Saina following on Adrianti's footsteps, but should still win this)

Super Dan, Lu Lan, Jin Chen and Lin Wang will as usual make mince meat of their opponents :D:D

BTW does Olga have a chance???;)

BTW does Olga have a chance???;)

For singles Olga has the chance of the underdog, this time it's very small:eek:
The mixed match today seems to be easier, but what is easy for an underdog:confused:
the other topic, who ever plays vs CN team member deserves our full support:cool: (as long as Gao Ling doesn't return :eek:, she would be the exception of that general rule:cool:)
So let's cheer the underdogs together, that's our task here :D:D:D

ups, last german on live stream:eek:

Saina starts better today than yesterday, what's wrong with KKK - he wanna focus on MD only:confused::confused:

Persson 21-15
slow start from Simon. QF vs LD in danger...

ugly socks pay off again :D Hopp can stay for at least one more game LOL:cool:, may be get to next round also (if Hashimoto does not change the black one in the interval now:eek:

was it too early for KKK, now it looks good!
Saina doing well also.

Persson took 8 straight pts from 2-4 to 10-4 in game 2! Now 11-5, interval.

Go Simon, SEMANGAT :):):)

Simon not looking good at the moment........

15-13 / rubber game looks good. But never trust kkk/tbh. I have learned a lot. :p

Extremely tough for Simon to turn this around. Persson must be pummeling him silly with his heavy smashes.

congrats to Saina, well done:cool:
Simon - looks like he got already fed up with the money from last week, or does he apply for next Yoyo name:confused::confused:
Jo - good luck, hope he can send back Lin Dan tomorrow (if he makes it to next round:eek:)

ok folks, it's Olga time now! Olga Olga Olga:cool:

wow both simon and yip lost.my paws:D

C'mon Olga! Make a date with KKK/WPT tomorrow.

ok simon lost in the end...
time for me to cheering on INA at WJC, i think its more interesting to me looking for futures INA's star.... especially Angga/Rendy

white socks gonna beat the opposite ugly mixed pair , we got one German to next round :-) not only girls gotta check out their outfit LOL

Why, simon why? :(:(
Is he exhausted or already afraid to face LD, eh? LOL :):)
Umm, btw this Jojo Persson guy kinda like Yoyo, rite?
Sometimes he plays brilliantly,
Whilst some other times he lost tamely to relatively unknown players :eek::eek:
Well, first casualty in INA camp for today
Hope it won't be trend :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Olga looks quite good, nice net play, hope she can do 2/3 of her task today now:D

Olgaa!!!!! don't let them come back!

Why, simon why? :(:(
Is he exhausted or already afraid to face LD, eh? LOL :):)
Umm, btw this Jojo Persson guy kinda like Yoyo, rite?
Sometimes he plays brilliantly,
Whilst some other times he lost tamely to relatively unknown players :eek::eek:


Persson is brilliant when he is allowed to use his power game. Not so brilliant (in fact, can be made to look silly) if he is forced to move about (like in S'pore Open last year against LCW). Not a very fluent mover when changing direction.

Simon needs to unfreeze his mind, sometimes when things go wrong he is unable to react and recompose himself.

huftt....what a waste of 10 points in a row for Olga's opponent....

no chances for Rajiy, all INA affairs not interested, so what is left:confused:
Olga Olga Olga:eek::eek: she's in trouble now, no rubber pls!:confused:

Olga Olga Olga, mymy, go go go

Pray for fran/pia....instantly fallin in love with their performanced in NZ....go olga

Saina won :)
Will play Lin Wang next :eek:

Simon lost so easily, although Jo is good player, I didn't expect him to win:confused:

Tine and Taufik coming soon.....

Chen long way too fast for Ouseph

auf geht ingo/michael....

nice chop from chen long.....kinda boring game

Whoa, what happen, Simon?
As badMania expected, Hendra/Vita edged their 'juniors' ya

4 points in a row error from opponent.....c'mon olga be cool

firda looks good

chen long really dominate the match

What happened to Tine?? :eek:
Adrianti really playing that well!?!?

What happened to Tine?? :eek:

just as usual..
Firda lead first and than Tine chase...

Haha yeah, JP's footworks not so fluent and a bit awkward, just like Firda :(:(
As for Simon, hope he can show some progress and consistency in the near future
Not just one hit wonder after Den SS
Too bad Hendrawan no longer coaching him as his style suit SS well

finally chen long through next round.....want it to see another match.

Ingo/michael put up a good fight

just as usual..
Firda lead first and than Tine chase...
Ya.. most of INA's style :crying::crying:
Hopefully Firda prove it wrong

firda look really good, dominate the court and quite consistent with attack play

Ya.. most of INA's style :crying::crying:
Hopefully Firda prove it wrong
see..
she win in 1st set and than tine will win

just as usual..
Firda lead first and than Tine chase...
Atleast she took the first game so comfortably.

And everybody's favourite Olga lost one match:p

TH on the court .....go firda

Ups Tineeee???? :confused:
Olga needs to focus on her single match now :eek:

Yoyo on live stream - but need to cheer Taufik now! 5- 0 already:D:D

see..
she win in 1st set and than tine will win

yap....based on previous encounter, their match seemed so, but hope Firda can seal the match this time as Tine a bit tired after last week winning...14 points from Firda is tempting actually...

6 points in a row for Tine. Firda has missed the train there...

wth happened to simon and yippie?:rolleyes:

Th looks quite comfortable for the opening match, many net cross

Tine and Sir Taufik both on a roll now!!!!
An all Indonesian affair in doubles. So who goes the younger pair or the elder one??:p

Fuzzies wanna go shopping early?:confused:
Devil go!
Tine's back :cool:
Taufik - great drop 15-8, don't fool around later on!:D

Bye2 Firda. It's dejavu. She won the first-set easily, followed by total collapse in the second-set. Will she ever learn???

Go Firda!! This is your chance to win..

don't understand why yoyo always challange th for net play

Well, Firda leads 8-3 now.....lets see if she can keep it up or collapse completely :p

Simon..... :(

Go Firda.. You can Win...!!

Firda is learning to lead now..... 10-4

11-4 at last game interval, hope Tine could get 10 points in a row n Firda could straight back do it...LOL

great smash - taufik is back by 7-6 now

come on FIRDA and TH!!!!..........

Ayo Firda...Kamu Bisa...!!

TH showing his skill, brilliant.

i want it badly tha you are wrong:) didnt give any comment cos i don't want to jinx it.

Congrats Firda...........:D

sorry, just forgot, we still have Olga!!!! LOL

I am impressed. Adriyanti Firdasari beat Tine Rasmussen in rubber-set. She will face either Yao Jie or Ella Diehl for a place in the last 4.

While there is still a great battle between INA XD pairs... finally 1st game to NOLIN 25-23

Oh, its surprise! 14-14 for all!

i want it badly tha you are wrong:) didnt give any comment cos i don't want to jinx it.

Congrats Firda...........:D

:crying:

Come one TH, only 2 more points....

Well done TH with his backhand smash ended the match

Yeah, match over! Well done, TF

yep , that's it, backhand smash sends Yoyo back home, congrats Taufik, looks good

And I see TH has bright smile after the match ....

Great job by Firda, but she must justify her win by getting past the q-final stage tomorrow.

WoW it's nice....DEN's MS player, Joachim Persson beaten the Denmark SS champion, INA's MS player, Simon Santoso, as well as INA's WS player, Adrianti Firdasari beaten the Denmark SS champion, DEN's WS player, Tine Rasmussen....

WoW it's nice....DEN's MS player, Joachim Persson beaten the Denmark SS champion, INA's MS player, Simon Santoso, as well as INA's WS player, Adrianti Firdasari beaten the Denmark SS champion, DEN's WS player, Tine Rasmussen....

was it a low budget tournament last week or simply to cold only???:confused:
don't tell me CN stories again LOL:mad:
now most of big guns're back and no chance at all for last week's single winners:eek:

Wow..
Firda..... Once again I'm wrong, but this one is a good one :D:D

I am impressed. Adriyanti Firdasari beat Tine Rasmussen in rubber-set. She will face either Yao Jie or Ella Diehl for a place in the last 4.

Yup, what a breakthrough by Firda...Hope she can progress into semifinal:)

Yup, what a breakthrough by Firda...Hope she can progress into semifinal:)
I hope now she knows that she could not rush when she leads..most of the time,,,,she was too excited and made many errors in 3rd set....same thing that she almost beat Tine last year too...

Bao Chunlai v Sony 7-5 now
Lin Dan v Vittinghus 15-11 now

Go Sony
Go MK/HS
Semangat :):):)

Lin dan 加油 all the way！

MK/HS should proceed....but will be better for Sony to rest and recuperate.

We can almost say bye to Sony now...:(:(

Simon and Sony are already lost........now its up to Mr Flamboyant.....

Come on Kido/Setiawan! Hmm, looks like au revoir for SDK...

Narnia will be sad as Kido/Hendraw cruised to QTR final..........

Cheer louder Aulia, they're leading in rubber :D:D

Hehe. Ya, 20-14 now

Win already. :D:D
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_006.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)
Sony lost...
http://mega.xtremenitro.org/bigonion/smiley/A_007.gif (http://xtremenitro.org)

MK/HS should proceed....but will be better for Sony to rest and recuperate.
Sony did not play well at all...he beat Bao few times but not today at all...lost tamely to Bao....:mad:

congrats to Kidawan, finally they got it working:cool:

and now! Olga Olga Olga!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

folks all together now! Olga!:eek:

As predicted, Sony Dwi Kuncoro lost to Bao Chunlai 14-21 ; 12-21. And Kido/Setiawan win over Japanese MD, Hashimoto/Hirata with rubber game, 16-21 ; 21-13 ; 21-14.

Well, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan struggled in the first set, but recovered well to beat yet another Japanese pair. They will face Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif tomorrow.

MK/HS should proceed....but will be better for Sony to rest and recuperate.

Why? Sony injured again??

Sony Dwi Kuncoro might as well withdraw from the Hong Kong SS as he will face Lin Dan in the first-round. Better save the air-ticket and fiscal.

congrats to Kidawan, finally they got it working:cool:

and now! Olga Olga Olga!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

folks all together now! Olga!:eek:

Looks like someone needs to lower their dosage! :D

it seems that this French open is at much, much higher level than the Denmark open.

All the Denmark open semi-finalists, including finalists, runerup, champion... have all gone in early rounds of the French open.

Taufik should have played the Denmark, which was his best chance to grab the first SS title.

( deleted . ) .

4 matches involving CHN at the moment.

Lin Dan quit first. :D:D:D 21-14 21-10

If Chen Jin win his match, i'm fear that we may have all China's affair in MS SF..:(

Sony Dwi Kuncoro might as well withdraw from the Hong Kong SS as he will face Lin Dan in the first-round. Better save the air-ticket and fiscal.
don't tell him to do so, it's bad enough that CN team is upsetting badminton fans continously by skipping events without any reason!:mad: If others start this bad game also , it's gonna be a mess for us!:confused:

they might have exhausted from denmark ss......as for taufik, maybe he save his energy for french ss...

Lu Lan and Wang Shixian still 0, LL in her 1st game, WSX in 2nd. Who will finish first at their game? :D:D

.................................

he won already by 14 and 10

Hi bros : what is the latest Lin dan result ?

If Chen Jin win his match, i'm fear that we may have all China's affair in MS SF..:(

I don't think Chen Long can pass Taufik. I would say the most probable semifinalists are:

Lin Dan vs Chen Jin
Taufik Hidayat vs Bao CL

During INA Open, Dicky played well against Chen Jin...leading both sets but lost both in deuces....seems they are quite tied as well....Olga seems plays better than 1st set...

I don't think Chen Long can pass Taufik. I would say the most probable semifinalists are:

Lin Dan vs Chen Jin
Taufik Hidayat vs Bao CL
Then LD vs Bao in Final....;)

I don't think Chen Long can pass Taufik. I would say the most probable semifinalists are:

Lin Dan vs Chen Jin
Taufik Hidayat vs Bao CL

the final result could be the same as in the China national games, the only difference is that Taufik replaces Hu Yun.

Olga seems get used to play against Chinese style...she benefits from China girl who plays for Poland now..Wang Lin Ling....

it seems that this French open is at much, much higher level than the Denmark open.

All the Denmark open semi-finalists, including finalists, runerup, champion... have all gone in early rounds of the French open.

Taufik should have played the Denmark, which was his best chance to grab the first SS title.

You mean the MS? Denmark XD, last week's champions, have won their match. And WS runner-up, WYi Han is also still around.

Hi bros : what is the latest Lin dan result ?
LD won 21-17, 21-10

I don't think BCL can discount PG that easily....providing Peter can get past the Tago one.

Hi sis suetyan (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/member.php?u=7459): So nice of u , post the result for me, what about the doubles , did Fu Haifeng and his partner win ?>

You mean the MS? Denmark XD, last week's champions, have won their match. And WS runner-up, WYi Han is also still around.

you are right, I should say I menat MS only. :o

I don't think Chen Long can pass Taufik. I would say the most probable semifinalists are:

Lin Dan vs Chen Jin
Taufik Hidayat vs Bao CL

Not good for Nitya/Grace, as feared.

Somehow, Grace's performance has dipped since she focuses only on WD :cool:

Not good for Nitya/Grace, as feared.

Somehow, Grace's performance has dipped since she focuses only on WD :cool:

Time to bring Jenna up.....

Peter about to seal the deal and face BCL tomorrow.

Excellent work from Olga, but Lady Pi tomorrow isn't going to be charitable.

Not good for Nitya/Grace, as feared.

Somehow, Grace's performance has dipped since she focuses only on WD :cool:

But I watched them live in S'pore, they were so good ...... What has happened? :eek:

Those Japanese girls don't have any special armoury, they just defend and extend rallies.

C'mon Yao Jie!!! Make it a perfect PAW for me .....

huft....it almost ended, after trailing 12-17 & getting 8 points in a row to game point at 20-17, GreysiaNitya lost 2GP, before eventually closing it 21-19....hope they r being motivated for the rubber game...

Excellent!!! Great PAWing day today. Yao Jie wins by her last matchpoint.

Pfff, I think I was the only one pawing on Diehl. And she has done a great match. But it's a loss at the end.
I don't understand why you did think Jie Yao would easily win this one, honestly.

Go Greysia?Nitya...!

And now, Nitya/Grace are back trailing 1-6. I still don't think they can beat the Japanese pair.

You can just sense the icy stare from hau-ge after that comment. :D

Send Vita/Lilyana back...
:(:(:crying:

LOL.....He knows what I mean :p

Of course, I will be delighted if the INA pair can overturn the situation and win eventually. But, at the moment, unless there's a miracle, Suetsuna/Maeda are going to notch another win over INA WD pair.

Well, it still looking good for BoSan :):)
Meanwhile GeNit still trailing in the decider :(:(
Semangat!!!

Meanwhile, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan progress to the QF as expected, with an easy win today. Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen should await them for a place in the last 4.

Come On Greysia/Nitya...Kalian Bisa...!!

cmon Genit, I still believe that u can win !!!!

LOL.....He knows what I mean :p
