Good Luck to all Malaysian Fighters.. JUlia Wong Hafiz Hashim Kuan Beng Hong Wong Mew Choo Khoo CC/ Ong SH Lydia Cheah Lee Tsuen Seng ( Chen Long's in ur hand, dear) Tan Chun Seang Hoon TH / Lin WF CTF / LWW Ong JG / Chong SC Last but not least, Haw CH, partnering LiYuJia from Singapore. Guys, Make us proud. Malaysia Boleh, indeed. Semi finals - make it happen.
I count 5 INA vs MAS clash.... The 3 clash in MS is what I'm looking forward to. TH should have the upper hand, while Andre and Tommy...hmmm it'll be an even match. Was surprised that TCS rally and beat Anup after getting blown out in the 1st set...
Mixed Doubles QF Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah [1] vs Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Puspita Dili -- the young INA pair has a chance to win this one, but, it will be a major bonus if they can reach the SF. Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [3] vs Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Li Yujia -- having beaten the CHN pair yesterday, I think Flandy/Vita have a chance of going all the way now. Ong Jien Guo/Chong Sook Chin vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto -- again, Rijal's experience hopefully can bring them to the SF. Men's Singles QF Mohd Hafiz Hashim [10] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] -- it will be a bonus if Andre can beat Yoyo Hashim. Tommy Sugiarto vs Tan Chun Seang -- tough to predict this one, both should be equally matched. I hope Tommy can reach his first SF. Kuan Beng Hong vs Taufik Hidayat [2] -- 3 down, 3 to go for Taufik in terms of winning the title in Hyderabad this week. Women's Doubles Yao Lei/Shinta Mulia Sari [1] vs Vita Marissa/Nadya Melati -- the INA pair has the edge, but, I am not surprised if Vita/Nadya win today. Jo Novita/Endang Nursugianti vs Weny Rahmawati/Laura Choinet [4] -- Jo/Endang should take this one. Men's Doubles Chen Zhiben/Tao Jiaming vs Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi [5] -- Candra/Joko have the edge over the young CHN pair. Hoon Thien How/Lin Woon Fui [6] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra -- I think AG/Alvent's experience can pull them through to reach another SF.
hm...to day will be a good day for Malaysia in MS... Hafiz Hashim vs Andre Kurniawan TEDJONO - Yoyo pendulum is up and high now Kuan Beng Hong vs Taufik Hidayat-KBH know this is the last chance...er... last 2 (ABC also) or more coming...but he need to prove himself...expect an upset.... Lee Tsuen Seng vs Chen Long- CL a bit lonely fighting alone....LTS is on fire... Tan Chun Seang vs Tommy Sugiarto- TCS wanna prove his win yesterday is no fluke.... overall this will be a field day for fellow Malaysians....
Not that I want to lemahkan semangat, but the above is highly unlikely. Don't know how good Andre is but I think Hafiz went through full 3 set in the previous last 2 matches. So........ I doubt KBH level can even take on last year uninspired and lazy taufik.
Hope that Wong Mew Choo is now fully recovered . leonardklh ... These are matches to enter Semi-Finals. Julia Pei Xian WONG [5][MAS] - [IND] Saina NEHWAL [2] Very tough for Julia Wong. At this tournament, Saina Nehwal is most determined to get to the Finals to win the WS title. Lydia Li Ya CHEAH [8][MAS] - [SIN] Beiwen ZHANG Zhang Beiwen is in good form. Lydia Cheah might not find this easy. Mew Choo WONG [3][MAS] - [JPN] Yu HIRAYAMA [6] While recovering from the effect of her food poisoning, Wong Mew Choo was fortunate to have drawn against weaker players in the first 2 rounds. This one is much tougher. Hope that she is now fully recovered. Wong Mew Choo to win this one. .
Hafiz Hashim vs Andre Kurniawan TEDJONO - HH gonna win this one because I heard that He has finish spending his savings. Need the prize money urgently... Kuan Beng Hong vs Taufik Hidayat- KBH to beat TH because KBH has develop a counter TH netplay. Lee Tsuen Seng vs Chen Long- LTS to beat CL soundly, CL dont have the substances yet Tan Chun Seang vs Tommy Sugiarto- TCS to win... Tommy only famous because of his father!
Will return to read your progressive scores and reports . Another 1:45 hours to go before matches commence. Got to leave for Badminton. Will return to read your progressive scores and reports. .
malaysian pair/player how many can survive today and advance to semis??? in this 11.5 pair and player....i will say...not more than half...
Another question could be.. ..which one of the two will remain and be considered to stay on the national team??(remember BAM had put forth a "warning" to both of them that they'll be judged in their pre-selected tourneys' performance). Only chance for KBH, IMO, to beat Taufik is to battle him and make him run all over the court. If need be, force a rubber game.
I think Yoyo Hashim vs. Andre Banteng will be 50-50! I think Andre has more to prove than Yoyo... He will win... 4 MAS in the MS semis?!?!? Dream on!!! 3 INA MS in the semis is more likely!!! with one CHN...
u should realise that....after some education from prof.p...many malaysian bcer have change their posting style...
I hope she wins this India Gold GP and send hoards of IND fans into a frenzy... We need Indians to be crazy about badminton. Not just Cricket and Hockey... Aiyyaa...
