INA finally had decided to send 20 players which consists 12 male and 8 female shuttlers to compete in Sudirman Cup 2007. Who will be eliminated from previous 22 players, must wait until 2nd June when all names of the squad announced by Lutfi Hamid, the Manager Team. Meanwhile INA Sudirman Contingent will leave Jakarta to Glasgow on 4th June 2007.
the question is who will be eliminated from the squad ? my prediction of 3 name eliminated : Luluk, Pia & Lita (I hope Lita still in the squad and one of Rani or Endang will be eliminated)
Well, for me the line up will be: MS: Simon Santoso (he just 22 I think) and Andre Kurniawan Tedjono, Tommy ok lah, but I think he has a problem with his physic. He lost in many major tournaments, I think PBSI must send him to satellite or challenger tournament than lost in qualifying round in SS. It will make his confidence weaker. WS: Maria Kristin (22 y.o not 'tua' kan) and Pia Zebadiah, or maybe Maria Febe. Firda looks stagnant, even she is good attacking player, but there has no improvement from her way to play. MD: Septano/Ahsan, the result in satellite tournament quite good. Other choices Bakti/Fernando. WD: Yulianti/Polii/Natsir XD : Polii/Rizal, Tantowi/Yulianti
I'm agree abt Firda Firda looked stagnant, no various play, smash, smash and lost in rally. and I'm start to have big hope to Maria Febe, I think she better than some senior Pelatnas player. Febe is young (16 or 17 y.o) and showed good performance in IO and Vietnam. She beat Fransiska, Salakjit Ponsana and KOR WS top player Yun Jae Jun. In All England & Swiss, Firda lost to Memeak and Ponsana of Thailand. Tommy also too early to choose in team event. Alamsyah is too old (born in 1985) to upgrade, a lot of younger players are better than him.
Well, Yacob Rusdiyanto (Vice Manager Sudirman Team) had signaled that Luluk Hadiyanto and Pia Zebadiah will not make trip to Glasgow. But, Joko Riyadi as MD back-up suddenly had dengue fever symptoms and must hospitalized. So, It needs doctor consultation whether he may take part or not.
Have you seen Luluk/Alven play in 2006 and 2007? Most of unforced errors come from Luluk if they play. Thats why PBSI cut his name and pair Chandra with Alven. I agree if PBSI break this pair and match Alven with other young MD player other than Luluk.
Yup, that's right as I read in KOMPAS today's edition (03/06/07). Luluk and Pia were eliminated meanwhile Joko still included in 20 squad member although he wasn't fully-recovered. PBSI Chairman Sutiyoso hoped INA minimum target is being finalist in Glasgow, similar with 2 years ago achievement. And maximum, absolutely bring back the Sudirman Cup to Indonesia. All INA contingent which consist 20 players plus 8 coaches and officials will fly to Glasgow by Emirates tomorrow (04/06/07).
Thanks.. ..for the info, CLELY..hmm, that's a pretty sizeable contingent..so, they'll have roughly a week in Scotland to relax, get used to the playing environment, spar, do a bit of shopping & sightseeing and wow, flying with Emirates
At least Sutiyoso goal still achieveable. His goal is to at least reach final. But the team manager goal is to win the Sudirman Cup back. Reallyy...how ambitious his goal are. And of course it will give extra pressure to Indonesia players who already got tons of stress.
Sorry to be particular...but again, its CANDRA WIJAYA...not CHANDRA WIJAYA Ooh...Luluk/Alvent partnership is officially dissolved. Luluk is given 3 choices: 1. Stay in Pelatnas BUT partnered with a younger player (likely to be Rendra Wijaya, who has no partner currently) or switch to XD. 2. Return back to Djarum 3. Go overseas...
The key points in the clash against Korea: KOREA XD Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung -- the INA pair has a better head-to-head record....so...they should snatch the first point. MS Taufik Hidayat vs Park Sung Hwan -- logically, Taufik should win this clash. MD Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Jae Jin -- LYD is officially out...so...a point for Kido/Hendra will confirm a victory for INA.
Need translation.. ..for this article and as requested by LI De Quan...ie. huangkwokhau, Dreamzz, Krisna, babonimut or other..thx http://www.badminton-indonesia.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2114&Itemid=2 ========================================================== Taufik Tak Mau Sesumbar Written by Jawa Pos Sunday, 03 June 2007 SURABAYA - Pebulu tangkis pria terbaik Indonesia Taufik Hidayat realistis menghadapi Piala Sudirman 2007. Dia tidak mau sesumbar berlebihan saat membela Indonesia pada even yang digelar 11-17 Juni di Glasgow, Skotlandia. "Saya siap menjadi bagian Tim Sudirman Indonesia," kata Taufik kepada wartawan di Surabaya, Jumat lalu. Kehadiran Taufik di Tim Piala Sudirman Indonesia memang sangat penting. Pengalaman dan segudang prestasi membuat mantan juara dunia itu tetap menjadi tumpuan untuk menyumbangkan poin di tunggal pria. "Soal hasil, itu kan turnamen beregu, bukan hanya saya saja," kelit Taufik Selain Taufik, sektor ganda pria dan campuran menjadi harapan untuk mengamankan angka. Harapan di ganda pria akan dibebankan kepada duet Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan dan pasangan baru, Candra Wijaya/Alvent Yulianto. "Alvent dan Chandra akan tampil sebagai pasangan di ganda pria. Keduanya pernah kami cobakan dalam simulasi di Batam pertengahan bulan lalu," tutur Jacob Rusdianto, asisten manajer Tim Piala Sudirman Indonesia kemarin. Mengusung 20 pebulu tangkis terbaik tanah air, Tim Sudirman Indonesia mencoba untuk membangun percaya diri. "Kami berangkat ke Glasgow sebagai tim underdog. Memang, 20 pebulu tangkis yang akan diberangkatkan itu bukanlah jumlah yang sedikit, tetapi kami harus siap untuk menghadapi segala kemungkinan," tutur Jacob. Dia menambahkan, di ganda wanita Indonesia tidak dapat menurunkan Jo Novita. "Saat ini, Novita sedang cedera, maka dia tak dapat memperkuat tim Sudirman," ungkap Jacob. Tanpa kehadiran Jo Novita, ganda wanita akan mengandalkan pasangan Greysia Polii dan Vita Marissa. Keduanya pernah menjadi finalis Malaysia Terbuka. Memang, pasangan tersebut tak mampu berbuat banyak di Indonesia Super Series 2007 di Jakarta beberapa waktu lalu. Tetapi, Jacob tetap optimistis ganda wanita tersebut mampu berbicara banyak di Piala Sudirman nanti. "Di ganda campuran, kami malah memiliki dua pasangan yang cukup disegani, yaitu Flandy Limpele/Vita dan Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir," tukas Jacob.(vem)
