The last Super Series Premier tournament kicks off today, started from Qualifying Round (10.00 am local time). China time : http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_CN.aspx ts link : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...138392-924A-48E4-A003-769050C423AB&d=20121113 2011 WINNERS http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...BC911B-E50D-4FFA-9211-33938FCD4A19&d=20111127 MS : Lin Dan (CHN) WS : Wang Yihan (CHN) MD : Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen (DEN) WD : Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang (CHN) XD : Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (CHN) Last year edition, home players dominated this event to bag 4 titles, how about this time?
Many players/pairs have been promoted into main draw due to big numbers of withdrawal : Viktor Axelsen (DEN), Sourabh Varma (IND), Simon Santoso (INA), Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka (INA), Saina Nehwal (IND), Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan (INA), Angga/Ryan (INA),Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei, Anneke/Nitya (INA), Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei, Bao Yixin/Zhong Qianxin (CHN), Shoji Sato/Shizuka Matsuo (JPN), etc.
I love badminton and follow all the SS, GP etc. Honestly even I am not so enthusiastic about this, don't know why . Let's just hope for some exciting matches and not end up with all China vs China finals.
i believe we wont found any tournament worst than the previous one so it is not comparable hehe i hope a lots of upset
How many posts? Maybe depends on how many upsets will be created in this SSP Yeah, hopefully it will be realized, no boring finals
Yeah I vote for upsets and exciting entertaining finals. Most of the time China vs China matches look like training sessions to me. I am ok with Yihan vs LXR though
All tournaments up to 6 months after the Olympics are less attractive. After 6 months, players and BCers start gearing up for the world championships.
Bellatrix lost to former WChamp Wang Lin in two close games, 18-21 / 19-21. INA WS only represented by Aprilia and Hera Desi who will meet Wang Yihan and Jiang Yanjiao respectively tomorrow.
The qualification round is over, 6 home shuttlers plus 1 THA WS and 1 JPN MS through to main draw. MS : Gao Huan (Q1), Kento Momota (Q2), Tian Houwei (Q3), Qiao Bin (Q4) WS : Suo Di (Q1), Deng Xuan (Q2), Wang Lin (Q3), Nichaon Jindapon (Q4)
Round - 32 MS: Jan O Jorgensen [8] vs Gao Huan (Q1) Hu Yun vs Kento Momota (Q2) Sattawat Pongnairat [PFQ] vs Tian Hou Wei (Q3) Chen Long [1] vs Qiao Bin (Q4) WS: Li Xue Rui [2] vs Suo Di (Q1) Yao Jie vs Deng Xuan (Q2) Porntip Burnaprasertsuk vs Wang Lin (Q3) Chen Xiao Jia vs Nichaon Jindapon (Q4) After Day 1, MS qualifier most like to progress is Q3, and WS qualifier to progress is Q2 (and maybe Q3 & Q4).
well, im still suffering from the Olympics blue. still not quite get back to play or watch after the excitement in London. im sure the players need time to adjust, especially the gold medalists.
Sun Yu failed to qualify, Thai players are getting better and better. Cheung is right,once the Olympic effects are completely over as time goes by, order will be restored. Still,this is going to be a very good tournament, even if it turns out to be CHN vs CHN affairs. LXR,WSX,Wang Lin and a not-100% fit WYH(according to a report) plus some of our own fave non-CHN players will make the WS contest a thriller. Too bad Saina isn't here, and Zhong/Bao withdrawn due to Zhong's injury and Zhao/Tian withdrawn as Zhao has to attend a very important 'political meeting'. Interested to follow the progress of Mitani M, PV Sindhu, Inthanon R, and Nozomi Okuhara,the newly-crowned WJC. Glad to see Cai/Fu playing and looking forward to see how they'll fare against the KOR MD, esp LYD/SHK. Let's see how far Darren Liew can go in the lower half of the draw. And watching Chen Jin's form.
Sun Yu again failed. Today is one of the great festivals in india. But i allocated some time in watching sunyu's game. But she disappointed me. .
Wish the Singapore Team can do well, but it will be like climbing Mount Everest (or striking lottery). Well, still, wish them all the luck they can get. Gu Juan vs Busanan Ongbumrungpan Fu Ming Tian vs Wang Shi Xian Shinta/Yao Lei vs Cheng Shu/Luo Yu Danny/Vanessa vs Joachim/Christianna
