Copenhagen Masters 2003...

Wong win Peter 15-13 , 15-12.

1st game it was close with peter leading the game early , but wong manage to catch up until the score was like 14-8.. then peter played more attacking until the score 14-13. Wong end the game at 15-13.

2nd set , wong leading earli... close fight 5-5 then wong breakaway until 12-6. Then peter try his comeback again until 14-11.. 12-14 and wong wrap up 15-12.
 
Wong is the man

Regardless who Wong is meeting in the final, I think it's a done deal, Wong will the the Mater title. The anticipation should be on MD between Halim/Wijaya vs Rasmussen/Paskee.
 
Wong Choon Han will face Kenneth Jonassen in the finals

While Camilla will face Xie Xingfang for womens singles

Lars/JR will face halim/chandra.


Wong will be the champion for mens and Camilla will most likely win this tourney.

Exciting part will be the doubles.
 
Exciting Finals

Man, it's going to be good watching the finals...I'm so jealous of the lucky folks who can go watch the matches.

Predictions:
MS: Wong
LS: Xie
MD: It's a toss-up and probably will be the match of the day!
 
We have 1 star open

Watching live event is so much more fun then the delay version. I recall watching the GP1999 while visiting Malaysia many years ago on TV. Man, it was electrifying ... Well, in US, we still have the 1-2 star US Open yearly, I missed the 1996/1997 5-star US Open with Dong Jiong, Poul Erik Larsen, Peter Gade, Joko Suprianto, Rashid Sidek, Fung Permadi, Cheah/Yap, Sigit/Wijaya, ...
Now with 1-star US Open, we have ... ???
At least I have the delay video :-)

The big surprise was Tine Rasmussen's big win over Pi. That I would never have guessed. She's been injury-free now for some time, so perhaps she will finally prove her talent.

worldbadminton.net reports that Pi HongYan was injured, she had a bad fall while walking on the icy streets of Copenhagen.
I think the match would not be one sided if Pi had not been injured.

The final would definately be an interesting one, looking forward to it. :D

He is currently trainning on his own. Still have some dispute with Indonesian Team. Can't improve much if ur on your own.
 
the live scoring seems to be blocked at 3-4 in the second set!
does anyone know the reason for this?? (injury or whatever? ... or just a technical problem with the site?)
 
Wong too strong for Kenneth this time around.


I wonder why he fared so badly in Vietnam against Sony Dwi Kuncoro? Fatigue? Needed time off? Pressure?
 
Looks like the Asian contingent won all the events.

Camille lost both games by identical scores 11-3

Wong won 15-7 15-10

Halim/Wijaya won 15-11 15-4
 
Way to go Wong! Too bad JR/Lars lost. They played well , but i think Wijaya/Haryanto played better this time.
 
I think this is the fist time for XIE XF to beat Martin.I think it is very important for her in scrambling for the qualification of Olympics Games.
 
Let Choon Hann be Choon Hann

The way I see it, the main reason Wong lost to Sony in SEA Games final was lacked of stamina. Wong's coach Misbun Sidek wanted Wong to change his style of playing so Wong can be a better overall player than a pure attacker. Honestly, I don't quite agree with Misbun on this as Wong has proven he can get deep into rounds in most of the tournaments with the same style that he has been playing. So why change something that's not broken?
I recall in 1998-1999, the same thing happened to Jumping Jack Arby Heryanto, Arby also tried to be an all around player and took away the edge he had on attacking ... To me, you live and die on what you have and Wong has some good stuff in attacking and is very capable of defending when he first emerged into international scene. I rather have Wong to keep his attacking edge and improve his defensive skill as he's the only hope Malaysia has to win a medal in coming Olympic which I think he's very capable of with current form and playing style.
Misbun, think trice ...
