Oh, I just found out Suryanaga defeated Tangkas 5-0 in the end... Tommy Sugiarto lost to Ng Wei in the last game.
I agree that Kompas and Jakarta Post give very little coverage on this subject. Those 2 newspaper have gone Wimbledon-tennis crazy! [in the past few days] For more extensive coverage, check out Indo Pos, Jawa Pos, and Top Skor newspapers... or read www.bulutangkis.com
Yeah, I notice that Petya didn't play to her full potential yesterday against Maria Kristin... But hey, a win is a win. Maria can come up with many excuses herself when she was beaten by Petya 1.5 months ago in the Indonesian Open...
wow, badminton at its natural rawness No wonder, this is where taufik gain his mental toughness over the chinese, the abuses he get here serve him well in international tournaments
The coverage of the media is worst. I am very frustrated as the newspaper today can't give us the matched that played at 6.30 pm yesterday. The official website is worst. they just updated the 6.30 pm result after lunch the next day
I agree! Well, I'm there everyday after work [only the games that start at 6:30pm]. So I will post whatever I know on BC at night. That way, our fellow fans can get the results faster... Although... my capability is limited because I tend to watch the most interesting matchup up-close... which means my knowledge of the other 3 games [that are simultaneously playing] tend to be limited to the big picture score...
Ha ha ha, you might be right... Almost all the Indonesian players I talked to tend to say they like the loud crowd-noise... Gives them extra lift! The louder the better!
Tangkas and Jaya Raya won decisively again! Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia 2007 Tangkas dan Jayaraya Kembali Menang TelakOleh adminSenin, 25-Juni-2007, 04:35:30112 klikJAKARTA (Suara Karya): Tim Putri Tangkas dan putra Jayaraya kembali menunjukkan kualitasnya sebagai klub yang pantas diperhitungkan dalam Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia (SDI) 2007.JAKARTA (Suara Karya): Tim Putri Tangkas dan putra Jayaraya kembali menunjukkan kualitasnya sebagai klub yang pantas diperhitungkan dalam Djarum Superliga Badminton Indonesia (SDI) 2007. Kemarin dua klub top Jakarta itu menggulung lawan-lawannya dengan skor telak 5-0 di GOR Sumatri Brojonegoro, Kuningan, Jakarta. Putri Tangkas dengan motor Liliyana Natsir dan Vita Marisa unggul jauh atas Bina Bangsa Jakarta. Bukan saja Tangkas menang telak 5-0 namun juga hampir semua partai direbut dengan straight set. Bahkan pemain-pemain Bina Bangsa tidak ada satu pun yang diberi angka lebih dari 17. Kemenangan telak itu merupakan pemanis dari sukses Putri Tangkas sehari sebelumnya ketika menghancurkan tim unggulan Suryanaga Gudang Garam. Tangkas membungkam lawannya dari Surabaya itu 5-0. Dengan hasil itu Tangkas belum terkalahkan dalam tiga penampilan. Pada bagian putra, wakil Ibu Kota, Jayaraya juga tidak mendapat perlawanan berarti saat menghadapi Mutiara Bandung. Jaya Raya yand diperkuat oleh Kendrick Lee, Ronald Susilo, Taufik Akbar, Hendra S/Markis Kido dan Chandra Wijaya/Joko R menang telak 5-0. Jayaraya juga belum terkalahkan dalam tiga penampilan setelah sebelumnya menundukkan Ratih Banten dan Tangkas Jakarta. Namun hari ini Putri Tangkas harus waspada karena akan menghadapi tim tangguh Djarum Kudus yang sampai berita ini diturunkan sudah mengantongi dua kemenangan. Sedangkan Putra Jayaraya bertemu tim favorit Suryanaga Gudang Garam Surabaya yang sudah menang dua kali. Salah satu diantaranya menggulung Djarum Kudus 4-1. Putra Suryanaga mempunyai kekuatan yang merata. Apalagi setelah diperkuat pemain asing Chen Hong dan Ng Wei. Materi Suryanaga lainnya adalah Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Alvent Y/Trikus dan Bambang S/Roni A. Melihat komposisi kekuatan kedua tim maka diperkirakan pertarungan Jayaraya dan Suryanaga akan berlangsung ketat dan menarik. Dalam pertandingan sesi siang kemarin, terjadi pertarungan sengit antara Putra Ratih Baten dan Musica Champion Kudus. Pertarungan ini akhirnya dimenangkan oleh Musica dengan skor tipis 3-2. A Rivai yang turun pada pertandingan pertama harus menyerah di tangan Lee Tsuen Seng, 15-21, 9-21, dan di tunggal kedua Dani R juga harus mengakui keunggulan dari Dyonisius Hayom Rumbaka, 12-21, 18-21. Ratih Banten baru bisa memperkecil kedudukan menjadi 2-1 setelah pemain tunggal ketiga Ikeda berhasil mengalahkan Hu Yun dengan rubber game 21-18, 16-21, 21-18, Ratih kembali tertinggal setelah di bagian ganda putra pertama Rio.W/Davin.P menelan kekalahan dari pasangan Ade Lukas/ Hadi Saputra 18-21, 13-21. Pasanagan Rioni/Aoyama kembali memperkecil ketinggalan menjadi 3-2 setelah menumbangkan Lingga Lie/Rizal 21-18, 21-15. Pada bagian putri Ratih Banten juga menelan kekalahan setelah takluk di tangan SGS Elektrik Bandung 1-4. Tunggal pertama Yuli M berhasil meraih kemenangan atas Rahma. S, 21-12, 21-10 kemenangan ini membawa dampak positif pada rekannya di tunggal kedua Pu Pin Pamela kembali menang atas Alvinasi.N, 21-15, 21-11, kemenagan kedua rekannya ternyata tidak diikuti oleh Lina Herlina yang herus menelan kekalahan atas Hani.S, 11-21, 21-13, 10-21, dan pada ganda SGS masih terlalu tangguh bagi Ratih Banten.

My amateurish wrap-up According to my [amateurish] wrap up, the league leaders and top contenders are: Women Club Win Lose Match Win Lose Djarum 3 - 0, 15 - 0 Tangkas 3 - 0, 14 - 1 Jaya Raya 2 - 1, 11 - 4 Today, Djarum vs. Tangkas! The battle of the [so far] undefeated clubs. I predict 4 - 1 Tangkas win... The only win by Rosaria Pungkasari over either Yuan Kartika or Melicia Kurniawan... Unless... Maria Kristin can defeat Wang Chen or Maria Elfira can defeat Yip Pui Yin... Unlikely, I think...
Hi Krisna! This is the first time I heard that Taufik plays doubles. Thanks again for the updates! Honestly, the best player for me, given that they (players) are at their peak, is Taufik Hidayat!
Chen Hong defeated by Kendrick Lee! Monday, June 26th, 2007 Women Ratih Banten vs. Bina Bangsa Jakarta 3-2 Jaya Raya Jakarta vs. SGS Elektrik Bandung 5-0 Suryanaga Surabaya vs. Mutiara Bandung 5-0 Tangkas Jakarta vs. Djarum Kudus 5-0 Men Tangkas Jakarta vs. Ratih Banten 4-1 SGS Elektrik Bandung vs. Musica Champion Kudus 4-1 Djarum Kudus vs. Mutiara Bandung 5-0 Jaya Raya Jakarta vs. Suryanaga Surabaya 3-2 Taufik Hidayat of SGS Elektrik played singles and doubles again! But today he won both matches: Taufik Hidayat vs. Lee Tsuen Seng 21-14, 21-16 Taufik Hidayat-Flandy Limpele vs. Lingga Lie-M. Rijal 27-25, 17-21, 21-17 Roslin H. vs. Hayom Rumbaka 21-9, 22-20 Henra A.G.-Anggun N. vs. Ade Lukas-Hadi Saputra 13-21, 21-18, 22-20 Hu Yun vs. Haryawan 21-16, 14-21, 21-13 In the end, SGS won by 4-1 Chen Hong of Suryanaga lost 18-21, 15-21 to Kendrick Lee. The biggest UPSET so far in this tournament! Sony Dwi Kuncoro of Suryanaga was in a battle to the death match against Ronald Susilo of Jaya Raya, eventually winning 15-21, 22-20, 21-14... Hendra Setiawan-Markis Kido vs. Alvent-Trikus 21-10, 15-21, 21-17 Candra Wijaya-Joko Riadi vs. Rony A.-Vicki I. 21-10, 21-8 Ng Wei defeated Taufik Akbar So this is the surprise of the day... Jaya Raya defeating Suryanaga 3-2. Jaya Raya leads the league now with 4 wins and no losses...
I think the Chen Hong vs. Simon Santoso marathon yesterday affected both these players. Simon almost lost to Ahmad Rivai of Ratih: 19-21, 21-18, 22-20! While Chen Hong didn't have enough gas to keep up with Kendrick Lee...
League standings... Here is the Superliga Badminton league standing; Women Rank, Club, Ties Won-Ties Lost, Matches Won-Matches Lost 1. Tangkas 4-0, 19-1 2. Jaya Raya 3-1, 16-4 3. Djarum 3-1, 15-5 4. Suryanaga 2-2, 10-10 5. SGS 2-2, 7-13 6. Ratih 1-3, 6-14 7. Mutiara 1-3, 5-15 8. Bina Bangsa 0-4, 2-18
I have the data on Games W-L and Points W-L, but they are not necessary [for the time being] to determine the rankings of the women. So I think the info above is enough [for now]. For the details. I suppose the Superliga website should have it soon. I hope...
Men's League Standings Men Rank, Club, Ties W-L, Matches W-L 1. Jaya Raya 4-0, 16-4 2. Suryanaga 3-1, 16-4 3. Djarum 3-1, 13-7 4. SGS 2-2, 13-7 5. Musica 2-2, 9-11 6. Tangkas 2-2, 8-12 7. Ratih 0-4, 1-19 8. Mutiara 0-4, 1-19 Ratih has better Games Difference than Mutiara... Ratih won 11 games, lost 34, so the Games difference is -23 Mutiara won 8 games, lost 38, so the Games difference is -30
After the games, I just went to the officials and asked for the most recent standings... They were nice enough to give me a printout...
hmmm...interesting matches!Where r those matches held in?Throughout indo,or just around java island?Does Indo TV stations broadcast this league thing?If they are,it'll be fun for me to spent my holiday later on,watching lots of baddie games.Hehe.. Btw,is TH really involved in MD or just for fun?I wanna see him playing MD in international championships.LoL..
Indosiar TV only broadcast the finals of the Women's team and Men's team. This Saturday and Sunday afternoon.... On weekdays, just the recaps... Taufik actually loves to play Men's doubles.... in Indonesia. Because in our country, he is often bored because no Men's singles here can really match him. Perhaps only Sony and Simon. He practices with them everyday. Maybe after 10 years in the National team, practicing Singles there is getting really boring. Ha ha ha. So I heard from the National Team doubles players that Taufik sometimes would just practice with the MD team. He is damn qualified to be a world class MD. Although not TOP OF THE WORLD-class like Cai Yun - Fu Haifeng and KKK-TBH. Xie Xinfang is supposedly also a very good doubles player. She won the WD Junior World Championship a few years back... Xie Xinfang once said in an interview that she is definitely a better doubles player than her boyfriend, Lin Dan...
