5 ina shutlers in semifinal, not bad, but only SDK againts player from other country.. "Perang saudara" tomorrow will be: Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan (seeded no 1) vs Joko Riyadi/ Hendra AG - i support olympic champion to win this game and going to final to meet Cai yun/fu hai feng Nova/Butet vs Vita/Rizal - i think vita/rizal have more power to beat hehanbin/yuyang in final.. SDK vs BCL - Ofcourse, sony must win this game! Harus! Gak bisa enggak! Good luck all ina player.. INDONESIA BISA!
I think it would be replay of md olympic final between MK/HS against cai/fu. It would be a tough game.. AG/joko doesn't perform well until now. And also replay of MX olympic semifinal NoLyn against he/yu. Hope the result also same, win for indonesian player. Hope SDK can beat BCL, like he did in IO semifinal.. All the best for indo player. AYO.. KALIAN BISA..
Wishing all the best for all INA players tomorrow. Get through to the final and bring some titles home, guys. Semangat!!!
my predictions for tomorrow: MD MK/HS to enter the finals. and CY/FHF will meet them WS WYH to beat WL in 2 ZM will be her opponent WD CHN vs MAC in the finals MS SDK to play CJ (GO CHEN JIN!!!) XD pity that the same countries have to play together in the semis.... i like both pairs from CHN but will have to go for XZB/ZYW to advance though i wouldn't be surprised if HHB/YY beat them. NW/LN will advance
Sony can usually give a good fight against Bao or LD, but for some reasons, he usually got crushed by CJ......
I want both Saina and WYH to win their match. Would love to see a rematch of the final of World Badminton Junior Championship 2006. Both of them have improve a lot.
ws: WYH to win .go meowmeow!! ms: SDK!! a must title!! haha md: Olympic medalist to take the title wd: CHN xd: Nova/Natsir should paying off their defeat at Japan open 08
Come on SONY......Beating BCL.......!!!!! If You win, I Give CENDOL...............!!!!! Harus menang, Harus....... Cendol...Cendol..... Where malaysian players in semifinal?????, Hohohohohoho
Hmm.. ...i hope you guys will come in here & make some noise, no matter what.. ..count me in, too..i'd love to see this WS Final encounter as this could be a start of possibly many more epic battles between the 2 talented youngsters..
Semifinals' schedule & order of play.. courtesy of tournamentsoftware.com..gosh, can't they move up the start time earlier??.. (TV) 1. Starting at 2:00 PM MD Markis KIDO [1] [INA] Hendra SETIAWAN [INA] - [INA] Hendra Aprida GUNAWAN [INA] Joko RIYADI 2. Followed by WS Lin WANG [CHN] - [CHN] Yihan WANG 3. Followed by WD Shu CHENG [CHN] Yunlei ZHAO [CHN] - [GER] Nicole GRETHER [8] [CAN] Charmaine REID 4. Followed by MS Chunlai BAO [3] [CHN] - [INA] Sony DWI KUNCORO [5] 5. Followed by XD Zhongbo XIE [3] [CHN] Yawen ZHANG [CHN] - [CHN] Hanbin HE [2] [CHN] Yang (F) YU (Non-TV) 2:10 PM WS Mi ZHOU [6] [HKG] - [IND] Saina NEHWAL [7] 3:00 PM XD Nova WIDIANTO [1] [INA] Liliyana NATSIR [INA] - [INA] Muhammad RIJAL [6] [INA] Vita MARISSA 3:50 PM MS Yu LI [CHN] - [CHN] Jin CHEN [4] 4:40 PM WD Duang Anong AROONKESORN [6] [THA] Kunchala VORAVICHITCHAIKUL [THA] - [MAC] Dan ZHANG [MAC] Zhibo ZHANG 5:30 PM MD Junjie SUN [CHN] Chen XU [CHN] - [CHN] Yun CAI [2] [CHN] Haifeng FU *btw, kwun or mods want to edit the thread's title??..
MEN'S SINGLES Li Yu vs Chen Jin [4] -- a no brainer for this one... Bao Chunlai [3] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] -- a tough test for Sony. I will only say that he has matured if he can beat Bao and Chen to win the title on Sunday. However, I think Bao will advance. MEN'S DOUBLES Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi -- there's no way Kido/Hendra gonna let this one slip by. If they win the China Masters title, they will add the title to the collections of China Open, Hong Kong Open, Chinese-Taipei Open, and the Beijing Olympics Gold they had won. Sun Junjie/Xu Chen vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun [2] -- this could be Fu/Cai's farewell tourney as a pair. They should beat their juniors. WOMEN'S SINGLES Zhou Mi [6] vs Saina Nehwal [7] -- Saina is increasingly dangerous as she added Zhu Lin to her list of "top opponents defeated". I think she can add Zhou Mi to the list as well. Wang Lin vs Wang Yihan -- the duel between 2 WJC winners....and the taller Wang to take it. WOMEN'S DOUBLES Duang-Anong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul [6] vs Zhang Dan/Zhang Zhibo -- the MAC pair to shine and reach the Final for the first time. Cheng Shu/Zhao Yunlei vs Nicole Grether/Charmaine Reid [8] -- a no-brainer here. MIXED DOUBLES Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Mohd Rijal/Vita Marissa [6] -- Rijal/Vita have been impressive in the past 10 days...so, I think they have the power to beat Nova/Butet twice in a row. Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen [3] vs He Hanbin/Yu Yang [2] -- this could also be Xie Zhongbo's farewell as Zhang Yawen will be paired up with Zheng Bo in the Denmark SS onwards. He/Yu to win.
