It is confirmed now that chandra will play with alven Candra Dipasangkan dengan Alvent [JAKARTA] Pemain non-Pelatnas yang dipanggil kembali untuk memperkuat Piala Sudirman, Candra Wijaya dipasangkan dengan Alvent Yulianto pada simulasi Piala Sudirman melawan Hendra A Gunawan/ Joko Riyadi di Batam, Selasa (15/5) malam. "Kita putuskan Candra bersama Alvent. Kita ingin mencari formasi alternatif untuk Piala Sudirman nanti, karena kita harapkan ganda putra menyumbangkan poin di Piala Sudirman nanti," kata Manajer tim Indonesia, Lutfi Hamid yang dihubungi SP di Batam, Selasa. Alvent selama ini bergandengan dengan Luluk Hadiyanto. Namun, prestasi mereka tidak juga membaik selama dua setengah tahun terakhir. Prestasi keduanya hanya terjadi pada 2004 ketika merebut empat gelar juara. Setelah itu hingga kini, tidak ada satu pun gelar juara yang mereka gapai. "Saya tidak masalah bermain dengan siapapun. Saya siap membantu rekan-rekan meskipun saya tidak lagi di Pelatnas," kata Candra. Menurut Lutfi, keberadaan Candra dalam tim sangat diperlukan sebagai pemain senior yang dapat memotivasi rekan-rekan satu timnya. Sayangnya, dari kubu Malaysia, tiga pemain/ganda terbaik mereka, juara Indonesia Terbuka, Lee Chong Wei (tunggal putra), Wong Mew Choo (tunggal putri), dan Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui (ganda putri) batal hadir. "Tidak masalah mereka tidak hadir. Yang jelas, ganda putra terbaik mereka, Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong hadir. Ganda putra sangat penting bagi kita karena nomor itu menjadi andalan untuk mendulang poin," kata Lutfi. Sebelumnya, kedua negara akan menurunkan kekuatan tim inti. Taufik Hidayat berhadapan dengan Chong Wei, Mew Choo vs Adriyanti Firdasari, Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa melawan Pei Tty/Eei Hui, dan Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir menghadapi Kien Keat/Pei Tty. "Hanya ganda putra yang tidak berubah," tambahnya. Di tunggal putra, Malaysia hanya menurunkan Krishnan Yogendarn untuk melawan Tommy Sugiarto. [W-11]
indonesia asked malaysia to have a friendly match, malaysia agreed if both send their full teams.... the fact is malaysia only send their reserve players (only MD is the full team) PBSI dissappointed with BAM this friendy match is wasteful
In my experience, there is no such thing as a friendly match - this is true from a very small inter-clubs to the big inter-countries. Every match is competitive in nature and therefore the term "friendly match" is really an oxymoron.
It does not seem that Indonesia is sending the full team either. Is it in reaction to Malaysia not sending the full team?
My understanding is that Yap Kim Hock, MAS head coach, apologized to INA team for not sending WMC, WPT, and LCW due to injury and fatigue from recent SS tournaments. After hearing the news, initially, Lutfi Hamid, INA Sudirman Cup Manager, stated that INA would still send their full team - however, that decision was apparently later revised.

really? i thought it was because they are competing in the pahang open from thursday ... although it's true that KKK will be going to batam. Chong Wei eyes top spot By RAJES PAUL PETALING JAYA: After a morale-boosting win at the Indonesian Open, Lee Chong Wei wants to regain the number one spot in the world. On Sunday, Chong Wei picked up valuable points in his chase for the top spot when he won his first Super Series title with a 21-15, 21-16 win over Bao Chunlai of China in the men's singles final. On his way for his first title in almost a year, he had also outclassed China's Chen Hong in the semi-finals. Chong Wei is now ranked number six in the world. Five Chinese players are now ranked ahead of Chong Wei. Lin Dan is the world number one followed by Chen Jin, Chen Yu, Chen Hong and Chunlai. “Beating two Chinese players in a tournament after such a long time has given me the confidence. Now, I aim to be the world number one again,” said Chong Wei yesterday. “It will not be easy to dislodge Lin Dan. He has been holding the spot for a long time. He is way ahead of me in the ranking points. But I will try to get close to him again,” he added. Chong Wei was ranked number one briefly during the World Championships in Madrid in September last year. With his recent exploits in the Indonesian Open, he is expected to break into the top three. He can further improve on his world ranking when he competes in the Sudirman Cup in Glasgow next month and the seventh leg of the Super Series in China in July. For Chong Wei, his task now is to prepare for the Pahang Open, which begins in Kuantan on Thursday. Chong Wei is the king of the local tournaments. He has not been beaten in local tournaments since winning the 2002 National Grand Prix Finals. Chong Wei is the top seed and he is expected to cruise into the final against second seed Mohd Hafiz Hashim. In the men's doubles, top seeds Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah, the Asian champions, and second seeds Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, the All-England winners, are expected to clash in the final.

Roughly the translation in ENGLISH: A Non-national badminton player, has been recruited to take part in Sudirman cup,Candra widjaja has been paired with Alvent in Sudirman Cup simulation against Joko Riyadi/Hendra Gunawan in Batam on tuesday night. " We have decided to pair Candra with Alvent. We are looking forward to having another alternative formation for coming Sudirman cup, We are hoping that our men double can contribute a point in coming Sudirman cup.", said Indonesian team manager, Lufti hamid, whom had been contacted by SP on tuesday night in Batam. Alvent ,who have been pairing with Luluk hadiyanto.But their result have not been improving in the last 2 years. Their only best result was in 2002 when they collected 4 titles.Until now, no title has been won. " I have no problem of pairing with anyone.I am just helping them eventhough I am no longer in national team." said Candra. According to Lufti, By having Candra , an senior player,in the team is very much needed to motivate his teammates. Unfortunately, from Malaysian team, their best singles and double team ,the recent Indonesian Champion, Lee chong wei,Wong Mei Choo, and women double, Wong Pei Ty/Chin Eei Hui, all will be absent. " There is no problem if they can not take part. For sure, their best men double, Koo Kien Kiet/Tan beong heong, will be here. Men double is very important to us as it is our sure hope to get a point." said lufti. Previously, the two countries commited to have their full team. Taufik Hidayat will be against chong wei, wong Mei choo against firdasari,Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa against Wong Pei ty/Chin Eei Hui, and Nova widianto/Lilyana Natsir against Kien Kiet/Pei Ty." There is no changes on men double", added by lufti. In Men single, Malaysia will have Yogendarn against Tommy Sugiarto.
Reported that Indonesia beat malaysia 4-1. winners and scores are unknown. I bet that INA lost their men double.
I guess this matches would be used for selection the player who eliminate from SC squad. MS : fixed already WS : Firda (in here) or Pia (played in NZ) MD : Hendra AG/Joko Riyadi WD : Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti, good ranking but no challenge to top pair XD : M Rijal/Greysia, want to see the SC need M. Rijal or not
