. 2011 German Open GPG: Day 5 Sat 05-Mar (Semi-Finals) The schedule of matches can be found located at; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...6DBDE6-1AB2-4389-9E76-775C9C06DCA5&d=20110305 It looks like those quite certain of making it to Finals Day are; WS: Liu Xin [5] MS: Lin Dan [1] WD: Kim Ha Na/Kim Min Seo [Not seeded] MD: Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong [1] XD: Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul [3] .
What makes them more certain than the other matchup? The Thai pair (they beat so easily) don't seem to have done anything to get this high up the ranking ... http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/profile/matches.aspx?id=81E13955-924F-4604-84D4-2C433BDF4C24 (except be invited to the Super Series Finals and lucky draws to get in the position to be invited)
I could be dead wrong . It's just my guess. As posted, I only picked ONE player/pair of the 4 Semi-Finalists in each event/category to make it to the Finals. And I could be dead wrong. .
I wouldn't be so sure in xd. Seeing Reiko and Ikeda are in good form, it'll take valiant effort for Tha #3 seed to eliminate them.
Reiko and Ikeda are in good form . Yes, you could be right. I looked at their Smash and Net Winners (played yesterday), and I was quite impressed by Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul's statistics/data; Smash Winners...16 Net Winners.......15 For Shintaro Ikeda/Reiko Shiota, they were; Smash Winners...14 Net Winners.......05 .
The quarter-final matches produced some interesting outcome. CJ beat a resurgent LHI 18-21, 21-11, 21-14 in 1.02 hours. LX(5) beat JS(1) 21-16, 21-17. WMC and KKK/TBH also came through and their semi-final encounters should be interesting to watch. Hopefully, WMC wins so that she will postpone her ‘retirement’ as reported in The Star of 3/3/2011. PSH v CJ and LD v BP matches should be also interesting and I root for PSH to pull through. PSH is a thorn to LD’s side. Overall the Koreans have done well in this year’s edition of the German Open. They have representation in tonight’s semi-final matches as follows:- MS 1 WS 1 MD 3 pairs WD 2 pairs
The Japanese girls have also performed well . Yes, the Koreans have done well. The Japanese have also performed well, having the second most number of players at the Semi-Finals; MS......0 WS.....1 MD.....0 pair WD....2 pairs XD.....1 pair The Japanese girls have continued to maintain their strength (in our History of Badminton for years). .
Reiko and Shintaro are playing great at the moment and I fully expect them to get to the final. One of them has my FULL support , the other... I will clap for politely.
WMC already did will to semis. She can go all the way. Just play her normal game with a little more aggresive.
Good Luck to Reiko and Shintaro . Hahaha...... Well, Good Luck to Reiko and Shintaro. Looking at the results of their Quarter-Final match, it took them a long match (53 minutes) to defeat Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Zieba of Poland. I thought that they could win and I followed that match quite closely (via LiveScore); http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...rter-Finals)?p=1632851&viewfull=1#post1632851 To me, SI/RS were just lucky enough to prevent RM/NZ from coming back in the last minutes of the match. .
Astro 811 will telecast the SF from 9.30 MAS time onwards. Duration : 270 mins. http://www.astro.com.my/epg/event.php?id=4440293
Their Head-to-Head records: KKK/TBH 2:9 JJS/LYD . Same here. Their Head-to-Head records: KKK/TBH 2:9 JJS/LYD .
Let's hope that KKK/TBH produce some magical hits to pull through against their nemesis, JJS/LYD, in their semi-final clash.
Is Rexy there with KKK/TBH at this 2011 German Open GPG? . Any BCer know if Rexy is there with KKK/TBH at this 2011 German Open GPG? .
