2010 Australian Badminton Open GP

Gan/Tan seemed ok when they were training at the hall this afternoon, no problem with side to side movements, be great to see them play
 
guys the tournament will be held in MSAC at Albert Park, Melbourne. i always play badminton there once a week. Last week i saw many australian players been practising hard and i believe its for Aus Open. Last year i went to see this tourney, but the audiences are not many, most of them are players too. As for the ticket price, i cant remember but its not expensive though.

and also Indonesia only send 3 players this year. The seeded player is only Alamsyah Yunus (3/4).
 
Glad that this problem is fixed

Have spoke to the organisers and they have said that players will be allowed access to all days of the tournament with their player passes. They too had heard the rumour regarding players not being granted entry on SF/Final say but weren't sure where it had come from

in the Mens Singles draw, it looks like a Tien Minh Nguyen vs Alistair Casey final, interestingly, these are the only men in the hens singles draw to be going to the World Championships. I believe

Has anyone else heard that the players who have entred the tournament can not use their players pass to gain access to the semi finals and finals? They must also buy tickets if they want to watch? I have never heard of this happening at any other tournament anywhere in the wolrd! You would think that a $90 entry fee would be enough to allow you entry to the whole tournament.

I hope i have heard wrong.

What!!!! Only $90 to enter the tournament.
As a spectator, I have to pay freaking $100. :mad:
Next year, I am going to participate as a player instead. Can save me $10 for some dim sum. :p
 
Nguyen Tien Minh has been practicing to get familiar to our court/hall condition

It would be great if Alamsyah Yunus [3/4] can meet up with Nguyen Tien Minh [1] and to give him a hard match.

Currently, AY is relaxing in his hotel and has not been seen on court, while NTM has been practicing to get familiar to our court/hall condition.

Wow, not a good sign and gesture to win by AY :(.
 
Another wow, Yoga Pratama of INA MS is being forced by relatively unknown AUS MS, Nick Kidd. 21-17 17-21 and trailling 5-6 at decider.
CMIIW, Yoga Pratama was (or still?) member of Pelatnas PBSI squad (INA national camp).
 
Nick Kidd is not unknown, gew up in Australia but moved to england after he finished juniors. As he had english grand parents (i think) he was a duel citizen and then represented england at senior level. was their number 1 for several years. Last represented england at 07 World Champs has been back in Aus the last few years, is now trying to make the Australian Commonwealth Games team

Yup. Day 1 today and it's in the same hall where you played badminton before. Good thing about not having a stadium is players and spectators have to sit together. :D
