Bulu Tangkis Hanya Bidik Lima Emas

PB PBSI tidak yakin dapat mengulang prestasi gemilang saat SEA Games (SEAG) 2007 Thailand. Untuk SEAG 2009 Laos,pebulu tangkis Indonesia hanya diharapkan menyumbang lima medali emas.

Dua tahun lalu, PB PBSI merayakan pesta besar-besaran.Ya, cabang bulu tangkis membawa pulang tujuh medali emas alias sapu bersih.Kali ini bisa meraih lima medali emas sudah lebih dari cukup. ”Sebenarnya peta kekuatan masih imbang.Tapi, kami akan berjuang untuk meraih lima medali emas,” ujar Manajer Tim Yacob Rusdianto. Melihat kondisi yang ada,nomor yang diharapkan memenuhi tugas tersebut adalah beregu putra,ganda putra,ganda campuran,ganda putri, dan beregu putri atau tunggal putra. Bahkan, menurut Yacob, dari lima potensi itu,yang paling berpeluang adalah beregu putra,beregu putri, dan ganda putra.

Seusai melepas kontingen bulu tangkis di pelatnas Cipayung,Jakarta Timur,Jumat(4/12) kemarin, dia menyatakan cabang bulu tangkis akan berusaha melebihi target yang ditentukan.” Saya optimistis kami (cabang bulu tangkis) bisa berbuat banyak di SEAG.Saya tetap percaya dengan kekuatan para pemain,”ucapnya. Untuk tunggal putri,Adriyanti Firdasari dan Maria Kristin Yulianti serta Linda Weni Fanetri jadi pilar utama.Sementara tunggal putra diserahkan kepada Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Simon Santoso, dan Tommy Sugiarto Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan serta Bona Septano/Mohammad Ahsan bertugas di ganda putra.

Sementara Greysia Polii/Nitya Krishinda dan Shendy Puspa Irawati/ Meiliana Jauhari turun di ganda putri.Ganda campuran menjadi tanggung jawab Nova Widianto/ Liliyana Natsir dan Devin Lahardi/ Lita Nurlita. Kontingen bulu tangkis Indonesia akan berangkat ke Laos, Senin (7/12) malam WIB dan akan memulai pertandingan Kamis (10/12). Soal jeda waktu dua hari,Yacob menegaskan tidak menjadi masalah. ”Waktu dua hari sudah cukup. Selain itu supaya mereka juga tidak bosan,”tandasnya.

Soal jadwal pertandingan, Maria akan mengawali langkahnya melawan Xing Aiying asal Singapura, Senin (14/12) di Venue National Sports Complex. Sementara Firda–sapaan Firdasari–mendapat bye. Pada hari sama, Simon harus meladeni Boonsak, Sony menghadapi wakil Malaysia Muhammad Hafiz Has, dan pasangan Bona/ Ahsan bertemu Nuon Sophorn/ Teav Yongvannax (Kamboja).

YONEX-SUNRISE BWF WORLD SUPER SERIES 2009 - Polish power, Saina checks in

Poland’s Robert Mateusiak-Nadiezda Kostiuczk’s rise to prominence continued when they topped the table to qualify for the semi-finals of the YONEX-SUNRISE BWF World Super Series Masters Finals 2009 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Winner of the Hong Kong Open and semi-finalist at the Denmark Open, the Poles were once again in commanding form to carve out a 21-12, 21-16 win over Thailand’s Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thuongthongkam to emerge as Group A winners.

The win also paved the way for Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen to qualify for the semi-finals but will still have to secure a win against Korea’s Ko Sung Hyun-Ha Jung Eun in an evening Group A match. Ss-Finals-D3-porntip



In the women’s singles, India’s Saina Nehwal, top seed, also made the cut for the last four stage after she beat Thailand’s Porntip Buranaprasertsuk 21-13, 21-19.



This means Saina will join Malaysia’s Wong Mew Choo in the semi-finals from Group A. Although Mew Choo still has to play Canada’s Charmaine Reid later this evening, the Malaysian has notched two wins.



“I always believed that it will go down to the final match of the preliminary rounds,” said Saina of qualifying for the semi-finals.



“There is some draft in the stadium and it is a distraction, hence I could not control some of my shots.



“But with the preliminary round over, it is time to focus on the semi-final and whoever I have to play, I will be prepared.”


However, there was no happy ending for Indonesia’s former world champion Taufik Hidayat after he ended his campaign without a win. The Indonesian was beaten by Chinese Taipei’s Hsieh Yu Hsin 21-17, 21-15.



“It’s over and I will just use this tournament as my preparations for next month’s Malaysia Open Super Series.”



Both players are already out of the competition with world No 1 Lee Chong Wei and Bao Chunlai, who have yet to meet, making the cut for the semi-finals. Ss-Finals-D3-jorgensen



There was cheer for India’s V. Diju-Jwala Gutta as well as the Indians qualified for the semi-finals as well at the expense of Thailand’s Songphon Anugritayawon-Kunchala Voravichitchaikul.



With Anthony Clark-Dinna Kellogg virtually certain of taking the top spot in Group B, the race was wide open for the second spot but Diju-Jwala made sure of that with a 21-12, 21-18 win over the Thais.



In the men’s singles, once again, the race for the two semi-finals spots were thrown wide open after Jan Jorgensen beat Korea’s Park Sung Hwan in straight games.



The Danes’ 21-19, 21-13 win means Peter Gade must beat Thailand’s Boonsak Ponsana later today to ensure his place in the last four.



A Boonsak win will mean all three players – Boonsak, Park and Gade – will have two wins each.



Results:

Men’s singles: Group A: Hsieh Yu Hsin (TPE) bt Taufik Hidayat (INA) 21-17, 21-15; Group B: Jan Jorgensen (DEN) bt Park Sung Hwan (KOR) 21-19, 21-13; Women’s singles: Group A: Saina Nehwal (IND) bt Porntip Buranaprasertsuk (THA) 21-13, 21-19; Men’s doubles: Group B: Alvent Yulianto-Hendra Gunawan (INA) bt Nathan Robertson-Anthony Clark (ENG); Women’s doubles: Group A: Kamilla Rytter Juhl-Lena Frier Kristiansen (DEN) bt Charmaine Reid-Nicole Grether (CAN-GER) 21-10, 21-7; Group B: Laura Choinet-Weny Rahmawati (FRA) bt Chou Chia Chi-Chang Hsin Yun (TPE) 15-21, 23-21, 21-18; Mixed doubles: Group A: Robert Mateusiak-Nadiezda Kostiuczk (POL) bt Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thuongthongkam (THA) 21-12, 21-16; Group B: V. Diju-Jwala Gutta (IND) bt Songphon Anugritayawon-Kunchala Voravichitchaikul (THA) 21-12, 21-8.

YONEX-SUNRISE BWF WORLD SUPER SERIES 2009 - Chong Wei shuts out Taufik

Lee Chong Wei was in majestic form as he swept aside the challenge from Taufik Hidayat to set up a top-of-the-table showdown against Bao Chunlai in badminton’s richest tournament – the YONEX-SUNRISE BWF World Super Series masters Finals 2009.

Chong Wei, the world No 1, beat the former world champion 21-6, 21-13 to ensure his place in the semi-final and will slug it out with Bao to see who will top Group A. Ss-Finals-D2-lcw

In a morning Group B match, Korea’s Park Sung Hwan stunned Peter Gade, the No 2 seed, and looks certain to top the group.

But Chong Wei was unperturbed with the outcome in Group B.



“Today was a very important match as this means I have qualified for the semi-finals. There is no pressure on me tomorrow but I still want to finish as group champion,” said Chong Wei.



“It does not matter who I have to play in the semi-final, I am ready.”



Bao Chunlai, on the other hand, survived a first game scare but recovered sufficiently to end Chinese Taipei’s Hsieh Yu Hsin’s interest in the Masters Finals.



Despite dropping the first game 21-17, Bao came back strongly in the second game to draw level and eventually wore out Hsieh to win 17-21, 21-18, 21-16 and virtually assure his place in the semi-finals.



“Although we are used to competing in big numbers, it does not affect my focus in this tournament,” said Bao.



“There is no pressure and I take each match as it comes.” SS-Finals-D2-boe-mogensen



Top seeds Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong kept their semi-final hopes alive when they beat Indonesia’s Rian Sukmawan-Yonathan Dasuki in straight games.



With China’s Guo Zhendong-Xu Chen victorious over Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari in the morning, the calculators were out as the pressure was on Koo-Tan to win in straight games.



And despite a shaky performance, the Malaysians won 21-15, 21-14 and will have to play much better on Friday when they take on the Chinese.

Guo-Xu are in the driving seat with two wins while both Malaysian pairs have a win each.



However, Zakry-Fairuzizuan have, on paper, the easier run in, as they take on Rian-Yonathan who have yet to win a single match.



“The pressure was tremendous as nothing less than a straight games win will ensure our survival,” said Koo.



“I could not play my normal game and there were too many errors. Tomorrow (Friday), we have to play better than we did today.”



Wong Mew Choo sealed her place in the last four with another convincing win against Thailand’s Porntip Buranaprasertsuk, taking just 27 minutes to win 21-9, 21-7.



Coming into the tournament as a late replacement for China’s Lu Lan, Mew Choo controlled the rallies to send the Thai scurrying to all four corners of the court.



While Mew Choo attributed her performance to her more relaxed approach, her coach Misbun Sidek said the former’s growing maturity and systematic approach was the key to her winning performance.



“In the past, she hardly settled down and never approached the game with a fixed game plan. But all that has changed,” said Misbun.



“She is more relaxed but more importantly, she is more focused and prepared for every game.”



Results:

Men’s singles: Group A: Lee Chong Wei (MAS) bt Taufik Hidayat (INA) 21-6, 21-13; Bao Chunlai (CHN) bt Hsieh Yu Hsin (TPE) 17-21, 21-8, 21-16; Lee Chong Wei (MAS) bt Taufik Hidayat (INA); Women’s singles: Group A: Wong Mew Choo (MAS) bt Porntip Buranaprasertsuk (THA) 21-9, 21-7; Men’s doubles: Group A: Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong (MAS) bt Rian Sukmawan-Yonathan Dasuki (INA) 21-15, 21-14; Group B: Carsten Mogensen-Mathias Boe (DEN) bt Nathan Robertson-Anthony Clark (ENG) 21-15, 18-21, 21-13; Women’s doubles: Group A: Charmaine Reid-Nicole Grether (CAN-GER) bt Jenny Wallwork-Gabrielle White (ENG) 21-17, 21-13; Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty (MAS) bt Kamilla Rytter Juhl-Lena Frier Kristiansen (DEN) 21-19, 21-15; Group B: Duang Anong Aroonkesorn-Kunchala Voravichitchaikul (THA) bt Chou Chia Chi-Chang Hsin Yun (TPE) 18-21, 21-16, 22-20; Mixed doubles: Group B: V Diju-Jwala Gutta (IND) bt Hendra Gunawan-Vita Marissa (INA) 21-18, 21-17; Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen (ENG) bt Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thuongthongkam (THA) 19-21, 21-18, 21-17.

YONEX-SUNRISE BWF WORLD SUPER SERIES 2009 - Park, Guo-Xu throw semis race wide open

In a day of surprises, the semi-final race for the Group B men’s singles and doubles were thrown wide open after Peter Gade and Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari fell to shock defeats against Park Sung Hwan and Guo Zhendong-Xu Chen.

After winning his opener against fellow Dane Jan Jorgensen on Wednesday, the coast was supposed to be clear for Gade to qualify for the last four. But Park, obviously, was intent on rewriting the script. SS-Finals-D2-park

The Korean adapted better to the draft in the stadium to score an emphatic three game win over Gade, taking one hour to dispose the Dane 21-12, 7-21, 21-15.



The win also means that the Korean now leads Group B, having beaten Thailand’s Boonsak Ponsana on Wednesday.



Ponsana, however, remained in the running for a semi-final berth after he beat Jorgensen 21-9, 21-18.



On Friday, Gade will play Boonsak while Park will take on Jorgensen. The top two winners in each group progress to the semi-finals.



“This is the best I’ve seen him (Park) play and all credit to him on his win,” said Gade.



“There was some draft in the stadium and it was difficult to adapt. And then in the third game, the gap was too wide for me to chase.

“But to qualify for the semi-finals, you need to win at least two matches, and that has not changed.”



In the men’s doubles, top seeds Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong were left facing a must-win situation against Indonesia’s Rian Sukmawan-Yonathan Dasuki later tonight following their compatriot’s loss against Guo Zhendong-Xu Chen.



Koo-Tan, who lost to Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari on Wednesday, play Indonesia’s Rian Sukmawan-Yonathan Dasuki in the evening session.



Zakry-Fairuzizuan, however, were left rueing their misfortune after the loss.



“We now have to start all over again,” said Zakry after their 21-18, 21-17 loss to the Chinese.



“We were too eager to go for the kill and made several unforced errors. And when they caught up, we did not keep our composure and ultimately paid the price.”



Zakry-Fairuzizuan wrap up their preliminary campaign against Rian-Yonathan on Friday while Koo-Tan play Guo-Xu.



Results:

Men’s singles: Group B: Park Sung Hwan (KOR) bt Peter Gade (DEN) 21-12, 7-21, 21-15; Boonsak Ponsana (THA) bt Jan Jorgensen (DEN) 21-9, 21-18; Women’s singles: Group A: Saina Nehwal (IND) bt Charmaine Reid (CAN) 21-14, 21-9; Group B: Juliane Schenk (GER) bt Yao Jie (NED) 21-13, 21-10; Salakjit Ponsana (THA) bt Nicole Grether (GER) 21-17, 21-7; Men’s doubles: Group A: Gua Zhendong-Xu Chen (CHN) bt Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari (MAS) 21-18, 21-17; Group B: Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae (KOR) bt Alvent Yulianto-Hendra Gunawan (INA) 21-19, 21-19; Women’s doubles: Group B: Cheng Wen Hsing-Chien Yu Chin (TPE) bt Laura Choinet-Weny Rahmawati (FRA) 21-9, 21-17; Mixed doubles: Group A: Robert Mateusiak-Nadiezda Kostiuczk (POL) bt Ko Sung Hyun-Ha Jung Eun (KOR) 22-20, 21-13; Group B: Anthony Clark-Donna Kellogg (ENG) bt Songphon Anugritayawon-Kunchala Voravichitchaikul (THA) 18-21, 21-16, 21-12.
