Bitburger Open 2008

Any Indonesian participating?

 

Djarum players.........

 

any mas players will be participating??
hooray,, there will be livestreaming in this tournament!!

 

I hope they send Arif and Tan Chun Seang. Let's see how MAS' MS of the future perform versus INA's MS of the future... Hope Japan will also send Kenichi Tago for more additional competition... China might resend Lu Yi and add Chen Long too... Chen is their future star, said Coach Tang Xianhu...

 

Besides PB Djarum's players, I saw that Rio Willianto is also in the list of players, but, did not see his partner's name Also saw Endra Kurniawan's name.

 

i dont think so...they will not send i think

 

still only send some experienced players when the matches is outside mas?

this is a list of all participants.
the m/q report is coming soon.

 

Thanks!

I see there are no Chinese, Malaysian, Korean players this year... I see many Germans, Dutch players ....and some Danes, Indians, Belgians, and Russians. So then... there is more chance for INA to win some... Too bad Pelatnas [the INA National team] won't send any players to make the party more fun...

Note: there is a Zhang Yi from Sweden... She sure doesn't sound Swedish... She should be Zan Yinnassonn...

 

haha..maybe is china ppl..

 

Zhang Yi is in sweden for many years now...sparring and coach for Sweden players too...been told...same thing with Li Wen Yan....Cai Ni

 

are the draws out yet?

 

wait another 2 weeks at least........

 

Yup...it's unfortunate that those ppl at Pelatnas could not make a better planning of tourneys for the second-team to compete in. Most of them end up not winning titles, unlike Djarum players.

Imagine if they send Bona/Ahsan, Grace/Nitya, and Tantowi/Yulianti (IMHO the 3 most promising young doubles pairs) to the Bitburger and Dutch Open...at least they will come back with a higher chance of winning one or even both events. Now, they have to face tough fights against top pairs starting from R32 in the CT Open GP Gold and Japan Super Series.

 

I can never understand the frame of mind of prioritizing the sending half-baked players/pairs to tough tournaments... I think half-baked players/pairs should gain confidence and learn to enjoy winning in International Challenge and GP tournaments... These middle-tier tournaments should be the priority while tough tournaments like Super Series and GP Golds should be complementary options...

It is also confirmed that INA Pelatnas players won't go to Bulgaria Open either... Dutch Open is still possible and the deadline has not arrived yet...

 

The Dutch Open has been a tourney that Pelatnas 2nd-string players are usually sent to (like Edo/Lingga, Adi/Syahmie, etc). But sending them to Dutch Open and not sending them to the other tourney will seem to be a complete waste of money in terms of a useful European tour for these players.

 

Edo-Lingga etc. should just be sent to Malaysia, Brunei, & India International Series/Challenge... Let them win something first... Let them build confidence...

 

but Edo/Lingga has won some series, right?

 

Sending them to Macau Open is cheaper and visa is no needed.....
I think it is necessary to send more 2nd tier to lower GP...I agree
