Looks tough for Malaysia 2moro. Japanese looks strong on the singles. we need to win all the doubles. Looks like 60-40 in favour of Japan.
1stly,say about the good player from each country 1st group a china? this is just the 2nd best of china junior,not their true strenght,no need comment(the problem is,ina still unable to win,will describe that match in later post) japan many good one watanabe, japan version of lyd good court coverage,nice attitude,good recovery,smash sharp,almost beat china ms,just lost by mistake,contributed a important point in quater against korea mitani shorter than 155cm,cute and fair,and still a tough nut to crack. almost slay china ws,just collapse in 3rd set with many easy mistake. good fighting spirit,never give up in rally,superb stamina,all rounder hoshino/kobayashi this is a crazy pair,fast and furious,great reaction,return the birdie with natural reaction(no need to TRY to reach the birdie,direct reaction by nerves,no need pass by the brain),abit cocky but it is ok as it deliver result,KO china pair in a tight game,beat korea beautifuly japan wd are hard with their smash,but still need to polish their game
group b no need to describe much on mas player india sikki is good as i said before,but still have a few area to be polish by her coach their md is really strong,get point from mas and thailand hand one of the pair to watch in individual event their attacking play is great but defensive play still can improve. vietnam le ha anh 1st time i saw the individual draw,i was wondering how good he is to be seeded 2nd,and when i saw him playing(against iskandar),i can admit that he deserve to be seeded 2nd at the 1st place eventhough wakanabe should be better than him,cant really easily outmove him to earn point,u need to smash REALLY hard to break his defence and yet,ur own defense MUST be solid nguyen thi sen a player that can go far if train correctly,abit rusty but can see she is a good one,same as hong kong poh l y. her patner in wd is slightly better than her at THIS moment but nguyen will be better in the future.
well,group c should be group of death to me haha,pity chinese taipei,they is better than hong kong and india i think. korea overall,only choi hye in impressed me,others is just really STILL OK only maybe lyd had made a high standard for me to compare with the korea junior nowdays,they are above average but not good enough to me,maybe they can prove me wrong in individual event. ina hmm,maybe my expectation is high on ina junior,but their performance is made me quite upset about(will talk this in later match describetion) chinese taipei hsu jen hao,i really not sure that is he good,or oppoenent weak? his performance is quite good actually and beat ssm student,a well done for him,but i dont think he will do anything big in individual event lar. the pair that impress me the most is lin/tai i had describe their positive points in yesterday post,and i really think they are one of the contender in xd IF they cut off their mistake. hope to see they go far in xd.
the last group,group d singapore actually almost beat hong kong with koh jia yi and chen jia yuan effort,both are good in single and double. chen jia yuan even beat porntip,this really tell u how good she is. both chen and koh is a dangerous player to others. well,even i didnt say,u all sure know that thailand are strong with porntip,sapsiree and ratchanok.others team member didnt impress me much. but this 3 girl are not stable enough(good news to their opponent),they might be superb in this rally but then lousy in the next rally.BUT,they are still extreme dangerous to their opponent because the % of superb is more than % of lousy 3 member in hongkong team catch my eye,lee chun hei,tse ying suet and poh lok yan tse ys play in senior stage for a while now,so that is not surpising that she had a few good area. poh lok yan is in same category with vietnam nguyen tin sen. lee chn hei is a good one,but unfortunately,he didnt have a better patner to pair with. can reach the birdie well and fast,smash quite deep but not consistence enough. player comment ended here and next will be the match describetion.
Limsy, agreed with u but there are still alot of players for u to talk about whom have not played in the team event. Reddy Sikki is good but lost to Tee Jingyi badly but managed to redeem herself by playing well against Ratchanok. Reddy Sikki have good skills and intelligence but i think the Malaysian girls are able to match her though. Ratchanok played a matured game for 14years old but i do think she will have difficulty maintain her 2nd seeding ranking. I like the way the Japanese girls single Mitano.i think, she has a style that reminds me so much of Hirose or even better. The Chinese girls have not really been tested by other country except by the Japanese. Why u dont want to discuss the malaysian Jr. I think Shervon who played in the mixed double was troubled by her partners attitude that disturb her concentration and game. She seem down. Its is not a good experience but i hope she learn from it. She is a good playerwho need more polishing. May play a major role next year. As for the boys - I am impressed with the Japanese boy single.Cute too. The Chinese single boy have good height and good skills. Basically the China Team have good ball skills. I am more impress with the Boys than the girls this year. For the girls-The Japanese girl single stood out the most. For the Boys- The Chinese boy single and the Japanese Double. For MX- the Chinese pair who play with the Indonesia team today. Both are very tall and skillful. Wait until the individual event starts- we will see more. I foresee there is going to have some upsets in the seeded players. Its going to be interesting. I feel that there are alot of young players send by the country to gear them for the Olympic Youth 2010 for those borned 1992/1993. So actually we are witnessing some young olympian in this tournament.
we start with china vs japan. japan really had they ability to upset china,but they didnt in result. that determination and ability had lead them to beat korea and advance to semis. the ms match is really a tight contest,and i will say this is one of the match of the day. both very determine to win,the standard/level and skill is really near. a taxing match for their stamina,all kind of stuff been showed in the match but mainly display is tight net play-force high lift-cunning smash,both of them really trying hard to out move their opponent and why china won that match?because wakanabe did a number of mistakes in 3rd set(same ending for mitani) chen xiao jia ALWAYS need time to be in competition mood,thats why u will see she play really bad in 1st set,try to return the birdie but miss hit,try to smash but into net/out and this is quite often. mitani take advantage of that and take the 1st set,but she hardly had any chance in 2nd set as cxj find her feeling. in 3rd set,before interval,the contest is still quite tight but after interval,mitani start to do many unforce error,she cant control her racket well,maybe is due to mentaly tired i think. for the md match,1stly,one funny thing is lu kai smash the birdie and stuck on japanese md racket and all of them had smile. lu kai is as tall as bcl is not taller. chinese md pair had the height advantage but that didnt convert into a win. japanese md prove that they are the pair to watch,winning the match in a tight but interesting match.japanese md is abit underperformance in this match,a 5% i think. japan had chance to beat china by winning ms,ws and md,but the chance flew,and this lead to another upset.
will skip both mas match(will post in mj 09 thread after final)tired. 3 more tie to describe,korea vs ina,china vs ina,kroea vs japan. we start with korea vs ina 1st. seriously,i think korea md is on a low as they lost to ina then japan. they didnt do well in team event,event. any comment? and i just pay attention to this match start from the wd(too many court to watch lar,china vs japan is gan jionging,mas vs india is ongoing). at 1st,korean wd didnt perform well and is trailing by 6-11 in 1st set,then they slowly catch up with more stable performane but that didnt stop ina wd to win 1st set.in the following sets,both pair play equally good,neck to neck battle and finally,korean pair won with a tricky cross court net play.surely a frustrated ending for the ina pair as they really play their heart out. in xd,the score migh suggest u a tight contest bu seriously,NO. with a slow destiria and off form ullin,korean xd easily reach game point at 20-9(i almost fall asleep),then the korean start to made mistakessss after mistakessss+ a few good react by ina pair,the score become 20-17,then just korean finally seal the game point.in 2nd set,the game is finally tighter with destiria speed up her play. ina reach interval at 11-8(not sure if am correct),and ullin did find his touch after interval,nice to watch but too late for ina to come back and win the game as korean xd had found their confident p/s:i sitting next to the line judge when they playing md,korea 23-22 ina in 2nd set,the smash from ina is out,i saw that,i am sure that is out,the korean coach also. but the linejudge say in,umpire agree with him,and then korea lost that match.
actually that is not much to describe on ina vs china ina coach field a relatively weak line up and one thing is ullin and destiara are not quite in form,but yet the ina coach decide to field them in every tie this is a 2nd best squad of china,but yet japan and ina didnt manage to beat them,the problem is there to be solve,krisna. this is just like china send 2nd best squad to mas gp gold and still win 3 titles with malaysia win 2. well,they didnt unfold all their player but we did. and they had record down many tie as i notice. a trouble for others in wjc. korea vs japan. kang ji wook and choi hye in had displayed enough skill and talent to win the match,the only points for korea. watanabe is really trashing kim min ki,ssm need to find the solution. after playing in xd and rest for half an hours,choi hye in then walk to the court again.this match is really tight. none of them had lead more than 3 points i think,in both set,they fight like this is the last match in their life.very entertain to watch and in the end,mitani is the better player the md match had a high quality,atleast a gp level performance by both pair. great match,i rate this as the match of the day in term of competitive battle
this is the last post for today i think and i will go to rest,really tired. tomorow, thailand vs china thailand will have a 55-45 chance in ws 50-50 chance in wd i guess the score should be 3-2 to china,hopefully thailand can win tomorow. japan vs malaysia xd,mas will win this for sure i think.(ykh will know who to field) ms,IF iskandar off form even just a bit,the point will go to japan for sure ws,will be a tough and tight fight,mitani is good but far from superb as she still need the final killing touch. md,i dont think mas can win. wd,another tough fight as both are quite well. xd for mas,1. md for jap,1. the rest is anybody game. malaysia supporter,pray hard but i think i will support wakanabe and mitani,no,dont throw eggs and shoes to me
Ceh! for someone who said I'm the crazy one papparazi-ing watanabe and mitani btw.. i will try again trow... watanabe sure notices me trying to take his photo... he better not walk too fast trow....
What to do? Anyway it's already over and hopefully the young ones can train harder for the Youth Olympic Games next year, but it's gonna be much tougher to qualify. The competitors will be bigger and older and not limited to Asia. To win just one gold medal means you are the top junior of the world! Maybe Malaysia's best chances are in badminton. The swine flu seems to get worse by the day and more have fallen victims. It is now pandemic or "prevalent over a whole country or large part of the world". Those who are weak, like the sick, children and older folks, are the most susceptible and it seems the flu attacks the lungs directly causing pneumonia in particular. So good hygiene, including the washing of hands regularly, avoiding crowded places and wearing a mask in such places if possible, covering your mouth adequately when coughing or sneezing, can help to mitigate the spread of the virus.
Chn 1(xd) : Tha 1 (BS) next GS Ratchanok has great chance here.... Mas 2 (xd,bs) : Jap 0...........next hope TJY can seal it.......
