Nova is not an option to be paired with Alvent, period. I'm pretty sure Lius Pongoh won't consider this option.
so sad to hear abt that.....why malaysia lost??but anyway...indonesia is just too good...and malaysia has to find more talented players for the 2nd and 3rd single...the great disparity among julia,norsyahliza and mew choo makes team malaysia become unbalanced although they hv a good 1st single n 1st doubles...
ya... sutiyoso has officially asked chandra/tony to play under indonesia flag in olympic 2008 and Mr ciputra ( the owner of jayaraya badminton club, also he is a real estate tycoon) has also asked them , too chandra has agreed to play again in olympic 2008 (only if he pairs up with tony), now PBSI must 'get' tony back to indonesia i'm sure the 'mission' of getting back tony/chandra will be successful
CJ has a good first half of 2006, winning two titles including one 6 star, but not in good form for a while recently and failed to win any titles since. He is the only CHN players lost to non-CHN players at WC. I think he's just entering the bottle neck of his career path. Whether or not he could come out remains a question mark.
I am trying to learn from you guys, but it's harder for me since Chen Jin doesn't lose as often as Taufik, and I have to come up with something that you guys never used before, and that left me with not much but to come up with some very creative ones... by the way, I am not even a huge fan of Chen Jin, just shock simply because I always think Simon is not much of a good player consider his performance this year. Even worse, Chen Jin kicked Taufik's behind in China open, then lose to Simon with that kind of score doesn't make much sense at all... unless you can say Simon is Way better than Taufik, but noooo... Simon lost in 1st round China open to QBC of china just less than 2 months ago....
LD vs TH rerun on GDSports right now !!!! Superb actions. TH surprise backhand straight smash, NO PROBLEM pick up by LD nice hairpin cross court drop by TH. TH just cannot defend LD jump smashes

DOHA - Kekalahan dari seteru beratnya Lin Dan tadi malam tidak terlalu disikapi serius oleh Taufik Hidyat. Tunggal pertama Indonesia itu mengakui dirinya kalah. ''Dia bermain sangat bagus hari ini, sehingga bisa memenangkan pertandingan,'' kata Taufik kepada wartawan seusai pertandingan. Juara Indonesia Terbuka 2006 itu juga mengakui dirinya kelelahan menghadapi permainan Lin Dan yang ulet dan jarang melakukan kesalahan. ''Kali ini saya memang kalah, tapi untuk ke depan saya akan berusaha tampil lebih baik lagi,'' ungkapnya. Dengan kekalahan itu, rekor pertemuan kedua pebulutangkis dunia itu berubah menjadi 10-9 untuk Lin Dan. ''Saya menang dalam pertandingan yang benar-benar sulit. Ini sangat membanggakan,'' kata Lin Dan. Dia juga menilai permainan Taufik tadi malam kurang efektif, sehingga beberapa kesulitan mengatasi permainannya. ''Selama pertemuan dengan dia, mungkin saya merasa enjoy dalam pertandingan tadi. Saya bisa bermain stabil sepanjang pertandingan,'' ujarnya. Sementara itu, Simon Santoso mengakui kemenangannya atas Chen Jin tadi malam, karena dirinya tampil menggebrak sejak menit-menit awal. Itu yang membuat dirinya bisa terus leading tanpa bisa dikejar oleh Chen Jin. ''Terbukti dia memang kelabakan,'' ungkapnya. Simon mengaku sudah pernah bertemu Chen Jin ketika masih bertanding di kelompok junior. Saat itu skor pertemuan 1-1. Karena sudah pernah bertemu itulah Simon bisa mengatasi permainan Chen Jin.

wow, the guo & xie pair is amazing. A pair of stocky guys, they are quite quick and of course tons of smashing power. Took out alvin & luluk in 35 mins. Don't know why guo and xie is under cai and fu shadow.
simon santoso vs chen jin. 80% of points gained by simon was due to chen jin unforced errors. Chen jin seem to making lots of simple errors, easy smashes go out, not reading simon, push out, clear out, net shots just short. It seem CJ woke up on the wrong side of bed that day. Simon just need to keep the shuttle in play and CJ would give him the point. Simon overhead rear court smashes working well that day too.
wah CJ lost to Simon sounds like he played very bad! hitting everything out! Hope he will play better for the rest of the AG jia you
The Chinese ladies are too strong for the rest of the world hehe no chance so are the men (in team events )
yeah! Lin Dan is amazing with the last few points of each sets hehe at least this time Taufik didn't give (from the scores )
So is anyone recording any of these matches ? Sounds like there have been a few great matches already! Edit: Ahem never mind I should have checked the video forum first .
Translation NOTE: Some of the sentences don't make much sense, but I just translate it anyways. Asian Games XV 2006 Doha, Qatar Taufik Got Tired When Playing Against Lin Dan By admin SUnday, 03-Desember-2006, 11:11:40 14 klik DOHA – The loss from his big contender Lin Dan last night wasn’t really taken seriously by Taufik Hidayat. The Indonesian first single admitted that he lost. “He played very well today, that he won the match,” said Taufik to the reporter after the match. The 2006 Indonesian Open champion also admitted that he got tired when playing against Lin Dan who didn’t make much mistakes. “I really lost this time, but I will try to play better next time,” he said. With the loss, the head-to-head between the two world badminton players now is 10-9 for Lin Dan. “I won that tough match. I’m very proud,” said Lin Dan. He also thought that Taufik’s game last night wasn’t effective, as he didn’t face much difficulties winning the match. “During last night’s match, perhaps I was enjoying it. I managed to play consistently the whole time,” he said. In the mean time, Simon Santoso admitted that his victory against Chen Jin last night was due to his aggressiveness since the beginning. That gave him the lead that couldn’t be caught by Chen Jin. “It’s proven in that match that he couldn’t do much,” he said. Simon said that he had played Chen Jin before in junior. That time, the head-to-head was 1-1. He could win today because he played Chen Jin before in junior. (indopos.co.id)
