. 2011 Chinese Taipei Open GP Gold - Day 2 Wednesday 07-September The schedule/matches for Round 1 (Day 2) for this tournament can be found located at; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...503535-E5EE-4868-9565-813F9F1EE73D&d=20110907 From what I've found; there are many MAS and HKG players participating in this tournament. Why are others (like INA, KOR, SIN, THA, etc...), are participating less here? .
this sure the first time to see MAS team sending a whole squad (except LCW & Koo/Tan) for this tournament... in order to upgrade ranking an gain more experience...
16 MAS MS players . Let's list the MAS MS players sent to this tournament; 1. Kong Keat Zhen 2. Goh Soon Huat 3. Victor Ong Jing Khai 4. Kuan Beng Hong 5. Chiang Jiann Shiarng 6. Chan Kwong Beng 7. Daren Liew 8. Lok Chong Chieh 9. Arif Abdul Latif 10. Yogendran Khrishnan 11. Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin 12. Hafiz Hashim 13. Misbun Ramdan 14. Beryno Wong Jiann Tze 15. Woon Kok Hong 16. Chong Wei Feng 1 in every 4 MS players are MAS players. .
2011 Chinese Taipei Open GP Gold: 1 in every 4 MS players are MAS players . From the list above, I only expect half of the MAS players to be able to make it into Round 2, namely; 1. Kuan Beng Hong 2. Chan Kwong Beng 3. Daren Liew 4. Arif Abdul Latif 5. Yogendran Khrishnan 6. Hafiz Hashim 7. Woon Kok Hong 8. Chong Wei Feng .
I think so too . I think so too. This GP Gold tournament (and other GP tournaments) should be reserved for our 2nd-tier tournament players. IMHO, players who are positioned in our BWF's Top Ranking Lists should allow our 2nd-tier tournament players to fight out in our GP tournaments (to get themselves ready to be promoted to SS and/or equivalent or higher-level tournaments). .
INA's best bet for OG gold is having hard time against their unseeded KOR opponent. The opponent is not 'cap ayam' pair though...
Tontowi/Liliyana finally won the match against Yoo/Jang with a rubber game. 15-21 21-13 21-16 I think this is a very sufficient warming-up against upcoming matches!
I think, this should be a good time for Rendy/Afiat to show improvement. but, i dont think they have some improvement....
Rendy/Afiat lost to KOR Cho Gun-woo/Kwon Yi-goo, rubber games with narrow margin at decider, 17-21 / 21-10 / 19-21.
