Asia Badminton Championships - Day 2 - 16-April-2008

I see your point, still busy playing as always

 

I thought that is the usual arrangement with tourney that has R64 in MS (the GP & Gold GP events). Either 2 matches in the first day (with doubles being postponed to the second day), or 2 matches in the second day (if doubles are played in the first day).

Total matches:
Day 1 (32+16 in MS, 16 each in WS & XD) = 80
Day 2 (16 each in MD & WD, 8 each in 5 events) = 72

Alternative arrangements:
Day 1 (32 in MS, 16 each in 4 events) = 96
Day 2 (16 in MS, 8 each in 5 events) = 56

 

First major upset in MS:
Mohd Arif Latif beat the seeded Hong-Kong player Chan Yan Kit in straight sets 21-16, 25-23.

 

and he will meet Hafiz Hashim next...upset again maybe

 

Thanks for explaining it, appreciated. But, some of those matches played were not very competitive at all, I guess no easy way out with this many players entered.

 

P Kashyap (Ind) won over Lu Yi: 11-21, 21-17, 21-10. Looked like the latter run out of energy after first game (?)

 

A MS player Abbas Abdulrahman from Iraq was "Disqualified" for ?

 

First time seeing it too....

 

Looked like PSH is having bad luck again with a strong opponent Anup Sridhar.

 

Park Sung Hwan did beat Anup Sridhar in straight sets though.....21-9, 21-13.

 

An easy win by PSH over Anup Sridhar: 21-9, 21-13. What happened to the latter? Maybe foot injury still bothered him (?)

 

can anybody tell me why Abbas Abdulrahman from Iraq/Germany got disqualified in the match against Wai Hong Wong from HK?

 

Don't know, but how do you know he's from Iraq/Germany? It says IRQ only ...

 

MS R32 Matchups (Bottom-Half):
Hsieh Yu-Hsin vs Shoji Sato [13] -- Sato to win!
Pakkawat Vilailak vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] -- Sony to sail through!
Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Mohd Arif Latif
P. Kashyap vs Bao Chunlai [3] -- a disaster if Bao were to lose!
Tan Chun Seang vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui [16] -- an interesting derby match...between SIN and MAS players.
Wong Wai Hong vs Park Sung Hwan [7] -- no match...
Yeoh Kay Bin vs Boonsak Ponsana [9] -- should be quite a match...Boonsak has an edge though...
Zhu Weilun vs Lee Chong Wei [2] -- Lee to meet Boonsak yet again.

 

he lives in Germany and plays in the 4th or 5th division

Time for a long break for players and organizers: lunch + nap (maybe more as a rest back at hotel)
