We can also see this as a hellish draw for He Hanbin-Yu Yang... They won't look forward to meet the 2008 Japan Open XD champion in the first round either... Rian-Yoke will defeat Boe-Mogensen one of these days... Hopefully as early as this 2008 HK Open SS... We're going to have fun watching them together, badMania... KKK-TBH are good, but Bona-Ahsan will not surrender easily...
KKK-TBH are good, but Bona-Ahsan will not surrender easily... yeah, i have to agree with this too.bona/ahsan are always a giant killer..darkhorse.. but KKK/TBH will know what it takes to beat this ina pair though
Super Series back to 'high standard' with numerous top-names will come to Hongkong. There're some interesting matches since the beginning, so competitive...
Well, Japan SS winner vs OG bronze medalist? 49:51, if I may say. As for Bona/Ahsan, they had what it takes to beat Fairuz/Zakry (virtually MAS current MD #2). TO win over Koo/Tan? Tough task indeed, but not impossible... Have more confidence in our shuttlers, will ya?
good news is bad news: if kkk/tbh wins, they are not giant bad news is good news: if kkk/tbh lose, they are giant MD players
Just saw Yoke's profile in Djarum's website and he lists Boe/Mogensen as his most feared opponent Quite true though, Rian/Yoke never managed to beat the Danish no 2 pair in a number of attempts
Looks like taufik will meet lin dan in QF, that would be intressting! Taufik is in great shape, and Lin dan havent played since the olympics! Go taufik!
yeah, that will be an interesting match imo too.. anyway, welcome to the forum and have fun here!! maybe u can introduce more about yourselves in the introduction section of the forum!
Now, there's news that Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan will be defending their title in the Hong Kong Super Series But, they are going to negotiate a very very tough draw comprising of possibly 4 MAS pairs if they are to reach the Final again. R32 vs Hong Chieng Hun/Ng Kean Kok -- reasonable opening match. R16 vs possibly Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah -- they have not met Choong/Lee for a year now....should be interesting. QF vs Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong or Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan -- another match with Koo/Tan should be interesting. SF vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif or Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya -- again, not easy. F vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae or Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun or Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen or Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- a meeting with Jung/Lee will be a cracking Final!
And if this KOR pair wins against Kido/Hendra (which is the least thing I want to happen), expect this CONQUER and HEAD-TO-HEAD fella to appear.
hey... from the draw list according to tournamentsoftware.com there are several pelatnas players. Are they go by their own?? Since PBSI withdraw from HK open.....
Yeah well, Markis/Hendra had the same problem with one pair before, now they've beaten that pair twice in a row where it mattered. So Rian/Yoke should take that as, ahem, divine inspiration.
