^^Thanks for helping out w/ the translation..^^ ..*izzyC*..Yeah, it's close enough & appreciate your help much!
Of course they'll send their top players ! don't forget that 1st may begin the Olympic qualification year ! All top players will attend to the best tournament in the world ! even all low ranked tournaments will see an arrival of "quite" good players in the tournament =p
Yeah, very strange that CH suddenly will competing?! Seems CHN always participates with full-force in every SS. I guess CHN send same squad to play in Singapore. Hmm quite ridiculuous, until now there's no official website for this SS category tournament!
Yes there is an official website. http://www.internationalbadminton.org/superseries/indonesia/tournament_indoseia.html
It's BWF website for all 12 SS. I mean the own official web that provided by the organiser/PBSI. The 4 previous SS have it also upcoming Singapore and Japan SS. I guess last-minute preparation before D-day (as usual).
No official language from Indonesia? As usual lah... *Indo ga modal* Well, i just hope that there will be livescore like the previous SSs...
I remember this site.. ..had one from a couple yrs ago, in 2005 Djarum Indonesian Open...However i don't recall them having a website for last yr's event and as far as PBSI having one, i personally don't think they ever had one...Here it is and stay tune : http://www.djarumsuper.com/act_fusebox.asp?fuseaction=sbadm&yr=2005&act=display&do=news or http://www.djarumsuper.com
*ga modal apa ga niat nih?! cape deh liatnya* I think all SS using tournament software which provide Live-Score facility. *thx for your info,ctjcad. I guess Djarum give more attention to football than badminton itself, look at its website content ...all about soccer.
with the chinese coming in full force, taufik has a challenging task to win the title. i predict a LD vs TH final.
i think both of them *gak niat n males kluarin modal alhasil jd "gak ada modal"* j/k but the competition still gonna be great even without the live-score facility, right? ^^
well, that's a bold prediction considering the draw's not out yet. how do you know they won't meet in an earlier round?
the draw was cruel to TH and LD in Malaysia Open. surely it wont happen again to Taufik in Indonesia Open, his home country competition? if this is the case, it is the same as Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan in the 1st round of Malaysia Open. I hope to see TH, LD, PG and LCW in the semifinals.
very hard to say since TH is not ranked in the top 4. he'll only be able to avoid LD for sure until the final if he's seeded #2. otherwise he's just as likely to meet him in the SF, QF or even sooner.
it can be a LD vs TH final, if TH is drawn at a different half from LD. by knocking out the 2nd seed, TH has the chance to enter the final and meet LD. I'm sure Taufik will be able to beat Chen Jin at his home country.
indonesia open will be held in jakarta.. in gelora bung karno. this is the last news that i knew fromm bola magazines. many famous athlets will come and join this competition. i'll watch it. it will be the 3rd time of my life!! hat trick guys!!!
I intend to watch starting round-32 this time around... In any Superseries, even the earlier matches can provide great quality matches. I wish to see Taufik win his seventh title breaking Ardy's famous record. In MD, I just want to see KKK-TBH get beaten. Hardly any Malaysians win the Indonesian Open title in any category. KKK-TBH seem to be Malaysia's best chance in years... But we shall not let them win... [er... well, we shall try to not let them win]... Ha ha ha. Their record against Indonesia's MD are very very good, I admit. I started watching Indonesian Open since 1985... In those days, we had no air condition and smoking was allowed indoors... Morten Frost Hansen was breathing heavily by the middle of the 1st set. Ha ha ha... I remember seeing Yang-Yang in action... now that guy was never tired...
Ha ha ha, again, since this is Badminton Central, we can predict whatever we wish, since there is no monetary or reputational consequence of predicting wrongly... It is our dream final if the 2007 Indonesian Super Series MS is TH vs. LD! That is sooo damn coooollll!!!! Dream 2007 Indonesian Superseries Finals [at least for me...] : MS: Taufik vs. Lin Dan MD: KKK-TBH vs. Tony-Chandra WS: Xie Xinfang vs. Maria Kristin [yes yes, my BIG UNLIKELY DREAM here] WD: Reiko Shiota-Kumiko Ogura vs. Gresya-Vita [I always dream of Reiko...] XD: Gao Ling-Zheng Bo vs. Gresya-M. Rijal Ok ok, I know I know this is dreaming. Realistically, no Indonesian WS can reach the finals [of any 2007 Superseries]. Possible, but very unlikely... But hey, this is Badminton Central where we can freely write our badminton action dreams in cyberspace just for fun...
I will take photos, but all my photos are of Reiko Shiota... C'mon just come to Jakarta, Yannie... take all the photos yourself... as many as you want...
