. 2011 Indonesia GP Gold Quarter-Finals: Fri 30-September Who will move on to the Semi-Finals? The Draw of matches can be found located at; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...5BDFEC-117C-4CE9-82AA-4D8F6333F5F2&d=20110930 For time in Samarinda, Indonesia; http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_ID2.aspx At our BadmintonCentral PAW Game, Sandy has given equal possibilities (in terms of PAW Points) that these 2 matches could be tightly fought out; * Mens Doubles: Hashimoto/Hirata [4]-vs-Fang C.M./Lee S.M. [5] ( 10 - 10 ) * Mixed Doubles: N.Widianto/V.Marissa -vs-S.Sato/S.Matsuo ( 10 - 10 ) For the complete list of PAW Points given; .
Will these players advance into the Semi-Finals? . My guesses for some of the players who could advance into the Semi-Finals are; * WS: Chen Xiaojia (CHN) & Tai Tzu Ying [5] (TPE) * MS: Chan Kwong Beng (MAS) & Taufik Hidayat [2] (INA) * WD: Bao Y.X./Zhong Q.X. [8] (CHN) & Cheng Su/Pan Pan [6] (CHN) * MD: Ow Y.H./Tan W.K. [Q] (MAS) & M. Ahsan/B. Septano [1] (INA) * XD: He Hanbin/Bao Yixin (CHN) & Xu Chen/Ma Jin [4] (CHN) You make a guess for the other 2 Semi-Finalists (for each of the events). .
Chan Kwong Beng to advance? Must be dreaming man But badminton sure is unpredictable WZM seems to be in poor form this tournament while Taufik seems to be slowly recovering from rock-bottom form. I will give battle between MAS and INA young MD a 50-50 chance
I know the secret to why Taufik plays like a beginner some days, and like a Gold medallist some days! I will share it with you. It is about his daily routine. When he is in Indonesia, this is his routine..... Wake up at 6.30 am Daughters are bouncing on his stomach. Go out into garden with daughters, walk the dog. 8 am BIG Breakfast with daughters and wife. 8.30 am *BURP*. Then read the papers, what everyone has to say about him. Laugh, throw away papers. Call up THA manager, ask how things are going. 9.30 am, feeling hungry now, some Nasi Goreng. Walk down to the corner store, play some futsal with friends. 11 am do some stretches, run a little, play more futsal. Noon. Time for lunch now. With wife and daughters. 1pm, play with daughters. 3pm start warmup routine for match. Joke with everyone in the players area, check racquet strings, check shoes. Check knee pads. Check water bottles. Eat some extra spicy Nasi Goreng. 5pm, time for match. If daughters were happy and went to sleep in afternoon, beat the $hiT out of opponent. If daughters were crying, just hit the bird eveywhere, can only see daughter's crying face, don't know what to do. LOVE IS THE GREATEST FORCE IN THE WORLD.
