No. Yoo Yeon Seong's former partner was Jeon Jun Beom. They were together since middle school, at least. I don't remember him ever playing with Hwang, who was at the same high school as Lee Jae Jin, but 2 years behind. He and Lee Jae Jin actually won the AJC together in 2001. Lee had played in the AJC in 2000 with Jung. Lee and Jung went to uni together from 2002 to 2004 but had no int'l results during that time, only domestic (Korea had three solid veteran pairs at the time in Kim/Ha, Lee/Yoo and Kim/Yim) so their only complete international season together was 2005, when they went to world #6. Meanwhile, Hwang bopped around with different partners, including Kim Dae Sung, Lee Eun Woo, Han Sang Hoon, Lee Jae Jin, Jung Tae Keuk and even Jung Jae Sung, with whom he was runner-up in 2004 at the Vietnam Satellite.

Oops. I stand corrected. Hwang and Yoo did play together at the 2005 Korea Open. I don't know that it was more than a scratch pairing.

2009 INA MD Final

Both teams showed a perfect MD match and most advanced plays of MD.

JJS/LYD just dominated the SPEED.

..Thus i mentioned, Yoo Yeon-Sung was "one of Hwang Ji-Man's early
partners"..(thanks for providing those additional names of Hwang Ji-Man's previous partners)..

So, out of the lot, who was the longest playing partner for Hwang Ji-Man, since it seemed like he never had a steady or long enough MD partner??..

M'sian players should learn from this......

perfect job LYD in MD..
i think he don't know about tired..he has perfect stamina..

**ctjcad** · 06-21-2009, 06:24 PM

..in the INA Open MD Final vs. CY & FHF. Good defence and esp. sharp at the net. Aggressive and definitely got their rhythm back. Definite favorites to win the MD title in the upcoming World Championships. Best of luck!

Congratulations to Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae for winning the Djarum Indonesia SS 2009. In the earlier post, I had predicted that unless there's a major upset, they should win the title.

Whether or not they will win the World Championships 2009 will depend on their draw. Remember, they were in supreme form prior to the Beijing Olympics 2008 and almost everyone thought they will walk away with the title, having beaten Kido/Hendra, Koo/Tan, and Fu/Cai in the previous tourneys. God forbid that they lose this one again due to unfavorable draw

Jung/Lee should advance all the way to the title barring some incredible upset again

This is what I wrote earlier

..i'll grant them a pass in that it was their first time playing in such a big stage like the Olympics. I, for one, didn't expect them to win or go far in last yr's OG.
However, this should be their 2nd time playing in the WC, while making it all the way into the Final Rd the first time they played 2 yrs ago and i'd expect nothing short of another Final Rd appearance.

Oh...in fact, Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae competed in the World Championships 2006. Guess what....they were eliminated in the R16 by a familiar foe

No prize for the correct guess though

So, this year, they will be playing in their 3rd World Championships.

**Zabee** · 06-22-2009, 08:21 AM

ranking just on papers....the ost important thing is that the peformance on court.....

- Yup, thanks for rectifying that; i didn't double check their past results. He was also only 17 yrs young and they were ranked #3 in the world.
- Yes, as expected they did better in the following 2007 WC, going all the way to the Final Rd.
- So, yes, i'd expect nothing short of another Final Rd appearance for LYD & JJS in this upcoming WC.

Yes, in 2007 WC Final, JJS/LYD lost to Kido/Setiawan after speedy games.

The problem with JJS/LYD is that they are too pressured by themselves when they fight for Bigger titles, which had forced them to make many unusual errors, which should be overcome by improving mental strength.

**ctjcad** · 08-15-2009, 02:09 PM

..yes, i can sense narnia must be praying real hard as LYD & JJS are preparing to face their Finals Rd. opponents...They did what i expected them to do by reaching the Final Rd. Now, I'm sure a repeat of the 2007 WC MD Final is definitely not on the table..

Waiting for this thread to be lit up again, win or lose for LYD & JJS..
