Hasnt it been that way for some time for this pair? CEH being the weak link?
But for WPT to change partners..... the youngsters are very much younger than her. Pity WPT

Good effort though..
Congrats to both pairs for their first FIRSTS; MAS' pair for their 1st ever SS WD Final experience. And CHN's new pair for winning their first ever SS title in their young pro career; perhaps this will be the first small step of more major victories to come??..
..it's a bit disappointing, but hope this experience will boost their morale and attitude...

CHN's WD should have pretty good pairs for the next Olympics:
(1) Du Jing/Yu Yang -- current Olympics Champion
(2) Pan Pan/Tian Qing
(3) Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei -- first SS and first title...what a performance!
(4) Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli -- WJC 2006 Winner
(5) Xie Jing/Zhong Qianxin -- WJC 2007 and AJC 2008 Winners

1. Mistakes by Nova cost the pair.
2. LCW suddenly turned off when close to finishing first set, after that it looked like WC in KL.
3. Wang Yihan and Wang Lin will contest for the top spot in some years to come. Lu Lan will be in the mix as well.
4. Septano/Ahsan showing very good promise.
5. Pretty good effort by Chin/Wong, I must say. Even against a relatively new pair, it is a Chinese pair nevertheless. Cheng/Zhao showed some immaturity, but it will only take some time to fix this problem. Good strong attack.

just returned from JO... men`s double n women`s double was very entertaining! Congratulations to all the winners! happy to see new Japan Open champion faces!
SDK took some pix with Wang Yihan after the prize giving ceremony. Taufik Hidayat was there too with his digital camera.
Indonesian men`s double pair was superb.small but their agility...perghh...
I think I just lost my voice for the whole week....

^^That's groovy!!..^^
....wow, Sony took some pics with Wang Yihan??..I wonder, when the pics come out, if Sony will be surprised to see Wang Yihan resembles a bit like him..
Yep, we heard you guys chanting those "Boleh! Boleh! Boleh!"(thorugh livestream)..and it was LOUD, LOUDER than y'day (Semis)...I guess you guys got a new chant/cheer leader, eh??....And definitely the cheers turned the solemn crowd & atmosphere a bit livelier..
And yeah, we saw the last few pts of the WD match and it was definitely exciting.
Any pics to share with us of your cheering group??..

2008 Japan Badminton Open: FINALS
Just got back to read about today's JO FINALS.
Thank you to all for your posts. It's great to find so many first time SS Champions.
And my predictions failed badly... Only having 1 correct out of the 5 events.
What our moderator, Cheung, posted is true. Those who are hungrier for success are the ones more likely to win. They try harder. Cheung was telling me that CS/ZYL are hungrier than CEH/WPT to win their WD match.
This also applies to SDK, WYH, LP/JR and MR/VM, who are hungrier to win their matches.
Sometimes, I feel that players should make less comments to the press. I am talking about LCW's comment as reported in the press. When SDK learned about LCW's injury, that could make SDK more determined and hungrier to win, even before the match starts. And it was good that he did it.
Finally, It's Congratulations to all Match winners (and to PAW winners, as well).

still proud of mas wong/chin
though they have lost. i am still proud of wong/chin as i can see that they have given their best. down 1st game but go on to win g2 convincingly. however,they lost g3 but not without giving a gd fight.
they were trailing by 8 points but fight back and in the end lost the title by just 3 points(18-21).
anyway this wd match is an interesting match with mas having strong defense and chn having strong attack.
honestly mas could have won if they cut down on their errors.
hope that wong/chin will continue to show improvement and win a super series title this year. congrats to them for thieir 1st SS final.
good achievement considering they beat 2nd seed n prevent chn from scoring straight set victories for the title.
hope there is more breakthrough and victories for them.
congrats to all d winners today.
P/S:somehow i feel that wong/chin have very little communication on court.hardly see them encouraging or talk to each other. both look very serius.am i the only one who feels that?i have seen them play before and i feel that they have more communication in older matches in 2006. back then, they were always give each other encouragement and appologizes 4 their mistakes. maybe they should communicate with each other more. maybe ants can tell them about this. anyway all the best to them in china masters

took some pix with my old digicam,but the quality is not so good. my housemate took more than 500 pix for semi n final using his dslr. hope I will have time to upload n share some of them with all of us(need to learn how to upload pix here). the trophies for women`s double was presented by Malaysia ambassador. It would be great it WPT/CEH won the champion, but:crying: .
