[JAKARTA] Tim Jaya Raya Jakarta putra memastikan satu tempat di semifinal Djarum Superliga Badminton 2007 setelah memenangi lima dari tujuh pertandingan. Pada babak penyisihan yang digelar di GOR Sumantri Brodjonegoro Jakarta, Selasa, Jaya Raya memenangi pertandingan melawan Musica Champion Kudus 4-1. Jaya Raya tinggal menyisakan dua partai lagi, dan mereka berpeluang menutup pertandingan penyisihan dengan menduduki peringkat teratas.
Pemain asal Singapura, Kendrick Lee kembali menyumbang angka pertama bagi Jaya Raya dengan menumbangkan pemain Malaysia, Lee Tsuen Seng 21-19, 21-17. Meski pertandingan antarkedua pemain asing yang dikontrak kedua klub itu berlangsung ketat di awal pertandingan, di pertengahan Kendrik mampu mengungguli Lee dan berhasil memenangi pertandingan.
Ganda putra nomor satu Pelatnas Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan yang bermain pada partai kedua memperbesar keunggulan Jaya Raya dengan menumbangkan pasangan Titon Gustaman/Lingga Lie 21-12, 21-16. Ronald Susilo, pemain Singapura asal Indonesia, membuat klub tersebut unggul 3-0 dan dipastikan menang atas Musica Champion setelah menang atas D Hayom Rumbaka 21-14, 21-13.
Taufik Akbar Hidayat harus mengakui keunggulan pemain Musica Hu Yun melalui pertarungan tiga set, 14-21, 21-19, 9-21. Pasangan Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi menjadikan Jaya Raya unggul 4-1 setelah menundukkan Haryanto Arbi/ Liong Tiong Ping 21-11, 21-10. "Kita sudah pasti menang dari Musica dan lolos ke semifinal. Bahkan sangat berpeluang lolos sebagai peringkat teratas," ujar manajer tim Jaya Raya, Sigit Pamungkas. Ia mengatakan, kemungkinan untuk memenangi dua pertandingan terakhir melawan SGS Elektrik dan Djarum Kudus masih terbuka. "SGS punya Taufik Hidayat yang di atas kertas sulit ditaklukkan, dan tunggal ketiga kami Taufik Akbar juga berat menghadapi pemain SGS Haryawan," kata Sigit yang khawatir jika SGS berhasil mencuri dua angka dari pemain tunggalnya.

*In the Indonesian Superliga, in case 2 teams who have played each other have the same Ties W-L results, the head-to-head results between them outrank the Matches W-L results. In case 3 teams have identical Ties W-L results, then Matches W-L will determine the ranking order...

*Thus, since in the Women division Djarum have defeated Suryanaga, Djarum outrank Suryanaga. While in the Men's division, Tangkas have defeated Djarum, thus Tangkas outrank Djarum.

 

Today will pit Suryanaga against SGS in the men's. Chen Hong vs Taufik...a mouth watering tie....If SGS loses today, they will kiss their semi-final hope good bye. Djarum vs Jaya Raya is also a potential thriller (esp in the doubles).

I will prefer
MS1: Andre Kurniawan Tedjono vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui -- Loh will be pleased of Kendrick's performance so far as Jaya Raya's first MS. If he wins, there is only a slim chance that Djarum can win the tie.

MD1: Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan -- two young pairs sparring against each other

MD2: Sigit Budiarto/Fran Kurniawan vs Candra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi -- oldie-newbie combo for both clubs...should be entertaining....

 

Suryanaga Gudang Garam

I think something else will happen. Like Chen Hong play double instead??

 

Here's a picture of Andre from www.pbdjarum.com

 

Rian Sukmawan [current world #10] and Sigit Budiarto [former world #1]. A potent combo?!?

Any predictions?

 

I bet you did not predict that Taufik Hidayat will play Chen Hong in MD?!?
Taufik won!

Andre did play Kendrick Lee! Andre won in a tightly contested game:
21-17, 21-18!

Sigit did meet Candra, but with Hendra Setiawan, not Joko Riyadi. Jaya Raya just wanted to spoil your prediction... The Sigit vs. Candra game was very entertaining...

 

They'd both love that combo!

Sigit is not feeling well today, and Rian bought him medicine already.. Dunno if he'll be fit for tomorrow.. Hope so!
