China Open 2005 Semi-Final

[event]

Anyone know what time the first semi-final match starts on GDTV?
Please post the match times, please.

I posted this already on this page. Post #23.

19 pm for the cctv5 and 18 pm for GDTV.

GDTV's schedule says 18:55, not 18:00.

I will try to stay awake, lets hope CCTV5 is showing the MS and MD :-)

As of now, neither the "live-scoring" site nor the tournament site, nor BAM have the results from last night's INA:KOR women's doubles match, let alone a lineup of tonight's matches.

I finally found an online source with the complete results of yesterday's matches, including the women's doubles INA vs. KOR. In fact, the link is for results updates IN ENGLISH on the tournament website, over on the right-hand side of the page. I still can't find the order and times of today's matches, though, anywhere.

yup, chen hong or chen jin deserves this title.. not *.. hahaha they worked hard for this..

[Kenji]

yeah when chen hong is on form, he can beat anyone including gade and bao. it is shown that he has the spirit and form to win this title after beating Lin Dan yesterday. so he definitely deserves this title more than anyone else!

Lin Dan did well to win HK open after winning the China Games 10 dats earlier. Winning back to back tourney are not easy nowadays. I did not think he would go beyond the Semi in China open, 3 tournaments in a row ? I like to see that !!

I think its Peter's or Bao's term, Chen Jin will be there in two years, not 2005.

[Kenji]

yupz....chen jin is jez playing most probably for the experience now...choong hann lost to him most probably b'coz of the stamina difference...

4 tournaments in a row you mean.. coz lin dan won 3 tournaments in a row! china masters, china 10th national games, hong kong open

Well, this is never ending link chain, so that's why we have a ranking system. Overall, you are absolutely right, at least according to IBF, who are not supposed smart enough anyway. Lee Chong Wei is the 2nd, just after Lin Dan, and Bao is not that bad, currently, Bao is just the 3rd. Taufic and Gade are following by several positions, even this year, could be count as the best year for Taufic now.

if you checked again on rank history you will find that taufik was world number 1, even for short period.
he was number one on August 2000

chen jin has still a long way more to go... i think it will be nice for bao to finally clinch a major tournament title... he hasnt won any major comps. since the World Jr as far as i can remember. abt time he gets champ. for sumthing.

peter gade and chen hong had already had their share anyway. like i said, chen jin still has plenty of time... man man lai..

we shall see la.

hahaha bao hasnt won anything for a very very long time.. that proves he doesnt really deserve to be #3.. chong wei who's at the #2 spot has won 3 or 4 titles.. lin dan has won uncountable amount of titles and definitely deserves to be #1
