Guys, where are you? Usually there always somebody updated the badminton event scores and made prediction. Oh well, I will try to made the QF prediction for tomorrow. PREDICTION: QUARTER FINAL MACAU OPEN 2006 MEN SINGLES So far, not a single suprises here. All the seven seeded players breeze through QF except Ng Weio who lost to Ayob from Malaysia. Taufik Hidayat lost twice in a row against Lee Hyun Il in R 16. Hoping PBSI don’t make any lame excuses for his lost or his dedicated fans. Like I predict earlier, he had too much personal problem right now. So no Taufik in QF tomorrow. Even without Taufik, so much mouth watering matches : Lee Chong Wei VS Bao Cun Lai (MATCH OF THE ROUND) : LCW had an edge to win the tie. 3 sets for LCW. Chen Hong VS Ayob SA : I am still sure that Chen Hong will win despite his not so good performance in new scoring system. Chen Hong in 3 sets. CH had the easiest draw trough SF in this tournament. Chen Jin VS Lee Hyun Il : Another tight matches. CJ won in 3 sets. Lin Dan VS Hashim M Hafiz : LD will win in 2 sets. WOMEN SINGLES The only surprising result was Wang Lin lost to Yip Pui Yin in 3 sets. Farnsisca from Indonesia made a good effort lost to Wang Chen in 3 sets. Zhang Ning VS Judith M : Seems like Judith love to play with the new scoring system. But ZN will win in 2 sets. Wang Chen VS Lu Lan : A tight match. WC had to play 3 sets in two matches in a row. So Lu Lan will win in another 3 thrilling sets. Zhu Lin VS Yao Jie (MATCH OF THE ROUND) : After a disappointing result with new scoring system, look like Yao Jie now seems to play her usual self. But I am rooting Zhu Lin. She will win in 3 sets. Yip Pui Yin VS Li Li : Li Li will advance to the SF.
MEN DOUBLES: MD only play for R 16: So I will only pick top matches. The only suprises so far was how tamely Tony Gunawan/ Halim H lost to Lee Young Dae/Jung Jae Sung 2 sets :21-13, 21-11 Hendri / Hendra (Sin) VS Guo ZD VS Zheng Bo : The Singapore pair play really well in Singapore Open few weeks ago. Can they play that level consistenly? This is their first test. 50:50 Rian/Eng Hian VS Choong TF/Lee WW (MATCH OF THE ROUND) : The Malaysian pair will win in 3 sets. WOMEN DOUBLES Same as MD, WD will play R 16. So far, not a surprise happened here. Jo Novita/ Polii VS Hwang Yu Mi, Kim M J : Indonesia pair will win. Chien YC/ Cheng WS VS Lena/Kamilla : CYC/CWS will win in 2 hard fought sets. Jiang YM/ Li YJ VS Wong PT/ Chin EH (MATCH OF THE ROUND) : Too early fight. A 50:50 fight. MIXED DOUBLES: MX will play R 16. So far not a single suprises. Zheng Bo/ Yu Yang VS Rizal/Polii: So far Rizal/Polii always had a nice draw with their opponent withdrawing. I hope they can won tomorrow. But I prdict they will lost in 3 sets. Saputra /Li VS Tsai CH/ Cheng WH : (MATCH OF THE ROUND) : Another too early fight. The Singapore will win in 3 sets.
MS n WS SF Prediction : Lee Chong Wei vs Chen Hong Chen Jin vs Lin Dan Zhang Ning vs Wang Chen Zhu Lin vs Lili
I hope Yao Jie could make it through SF. If she could play like she did against ZN in MVP, she has a big chance.
Chinese ws all lost WOMEN SINGLES Zhang Ning 1-2 Judith (１６：２１、２１：１６、１６：２１) Wang Chen 2-0 Lu Lan (２１：１７：、2１：1１) Zhu Lin 1-2 Yao Jie (１３：２１、２１：１５、２１：２３) Yip Pui Yin 2-1 Li Li (２１：１３、１５：２１、２１：１８)
Wow! All the chinese lost? Tats the 1st time after they've been dominating the WS title for soooo long.......
...... waouu it didn't happen since a loooooong time, any chinese player in semi-finals. I guess Zhang ning is not in a good shape. For Lu Lan and Zhu Lin, it's not a surprise
Judith is a very good player too. Saw her performance in uber cup, XXF was struggling the whole match to beat her.... Will tat be a sign she will be the next Carmilla Martin whom at her time had cast much fear in her chinese opponents???
After the Uber Cup demolishing act of opponent, thought the Great Wall will stand strong...very suprising it crumble so near to home
MEN SINGLES Lee Chong Wei bt Bao Cun Lai Chen Hong bt Ayob SA Lee Hyun Il bt Chen Jin (3 sets) Lin Dan bt Hashim M Hafiz
oh, god. This is the first time I've so much interest at women singles... I probably sit and watch all the women singles matches this weekend
