It's great to see that the JPN team has been doing so well.

Haven't found one yet in Australia. Perhaps BCers from different countries can post their links that are working for their regions. Different countries sometimes can use the same links.

From the Semi-Finals, I believe these players could make it into the Finals;

Womens Singles...Ai Goto (JPN)

Mens Singles.......Nguyen Tien Minh [4] (VIE)

Womens Doubles..Luo Ying/Luo Yun (CHN)

Mens Doubles.......Fang C.M./Lee S.M. [3] (TPE)

Mixed Doubles......Hayakawa/Matsutomo (JPN)

And I have PAWed accordingly.

All disciplines have more that one representative from the same country except MS which have all 4 top seeds from different countries.

MS SF
Chen Jin [1] vs Simon Santoso [3] - the expected SF clash. I will be surprised to see Simon taking this one.

MD SF
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [6] vs Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputro [8] - I would want the junior pair to take this one but I think the veteran pair will take it.

Phew... Finally, INA had confirmed one representative at Final.

IMHO, INA players are playing OK at this tournament.

I think Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [6] can win the Mens Doubles title.

Astro 811 is showing live from 12.00pm to 5pm. I wonder which court.

Court 1 for sure ! Astro will definitely shows match involved Malaysia players and will never shows match that involved INA Vs INA (MD) !

Court 1 for sure ! Astro will definitely shows match involved Malaysia players and will never shows match that involved INA Vs INA (MD) !

It's not for Astro to decide. Astro just broadcast the matches supplied by the organizers and usually for GP Gold tournaments only one court is broadcast, unlike maybe the WC or SSP.

i couldn't find it on hahasport.. is it on the internet anywhere?

[Aikachan]

They should broadcast Court 1. Court 2, all doubles' matches. Court 1 much more interesting, battles of the singles! Of course, not forgetting the last survivors of MAS team, Chan/Goh (hope they'll do well) AND cutie Reiko.

Indeed it is Japan which is represented in all events and therefore has a better chance to advance to tomorrow's finals.

Last week INA dominated at the Vietnam IC but at this
GP Gold, Japan became the favorites.

Another higher level up at the SS will find the much higher ranked players from CHN, KOR, DEN, etc, apart from JPN and INA vying for honors.

But for the sake of gaining more Olympic qualifying points and a better seeding, even Chen Jin is going all out to displace Peter Gade to ensure that CHN remains the only badminton powerhouse to be represented by the maximum three players in the MS event. And CJ seems to be succeeding, much to the silent delight of LYB.
