    Sulit gan, karena yang jadi ketua BWF nya kan bukan Justian.
    Kemungkinan besar penyelenggaraan acara yg besar akan beralih ke Eropa.

    Sony dan Simon belum Sepenuhnya Fit

    Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: Dua tunggal putra Indonesia Sony Dwi Kuncoro dan Simon Santoso diprediksi tidak bisa tampil maksimal di turnamen Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series Premier, 10-16 Juni 2013 mendatang. Faktor cedera yang belum sembuh benar menjadi kendala utama.

    Hingga Jumat (31/5), pelatih tunggal putra Joko Suprianto menyatakan kondisi keduanya baru pulih 95%. Sony masih berkutat dengan cedera punggung yang dideritanya pasca-All England. Sedangkan Simon masih menjalani terapi penyembuhan pembengkakan kelenjar tiroid.

    "Sampai kemarin, kondisi Sony dan Simon baru pulih 95%. Mereka memang akan tetap turun di Indonesia Open, tapi tidak bisa maksimal," ujar Joko kepada Media Indonesia, Jumat (31/5).

    Dengan kondisi tidak fit, Simon dinilai sulit untuk mempertahankan gelar juara yang direbut tahun lalu. Terlebih, pebulu tangkis terbaik dunia, termasuk Taufik Hidayat dan Lin Dan dipastikan akan tampil dalam turnamen berhadiah total US$700 ribu (Rp6,8 miliar) itu.

    Menyusul kondisi yang dialami Sony dan Simon, Joko kini berharap banyak kepada Tommy Sugiarto dan Dyonnisius Hayom Rumbaka untuk bisa membuat kejutan.

    Keduanya tampil tidak maksimal di Piala Sudirman dengan tidak mampu merebut satu angka pun di ajang beregu yang akhirnya dimenangi oleh China tersebut.

    "Mengingat belum pulih benarnya Sony-Simon, Tommy-Hayom akan kembali menjadi tumpuan di sektor tunggal putra. Kami sadar mereka masih banyak kekurangan, tapi kekalahan di Piala Sudirman sudah kami evaluasi dan semoga mereka bisa cetak kejutan di Indonesia Open," lanjut Joko.

    Sebagai pemanasan, Tommy dan Hayom akan tampil di Grand Prix Gold Thailand Terbuka, 4-9 Juni 2013.

    Setelah Indonesia Open 2013, mereka akan langsung terbang ke Singapura untuk mengikuti Singapura Terbuka Super Series, 18-23 Juni 2013.

    "Mereka memang kami persiapkan untuk mencapai puncak performa pada perebitan Piala Thomas-Uber tahun depan. Jadi untuk turnamen dalam waktu dekat, kami menargetkan mereka yang penting naik peringkat saja," jelas Joko. (Asni Harismi)

    Default Icuk Sugiarto Minta Tommy Kontrol Emosi



    HASIL drawing memang tidak menguntungkan tunggal Indonesia Tommy Sugiarto. Di babak awal, dia harus berjibaku melawan tunggal Tiongkok, Chen Long. Padahal, Chen Long-lah yang membuat malu Tommy di Piala Sudirman lalu. Putra legenda Icuk Sugiarto itu takluk dua kali, di babak penyisihan dan perempatfinal.

    Kepada Tommy, Icuk Sugiarto pun berpesan kepada anaknya itu agar bermain lepas dan tidak mudah terpancing emosi. ”Piala Sudirman yang lalu harus menjadi pembelajaran yang sangat berarti bagi Tommy. Dia kalah karena tidak terkontrol emosinya. Untuk itu saya pun berpesan agar Tommy dapat menjaga emosi dan nothing to lose, terutama bermain di negeri sendiri,” kata Icuk, kepada INDOPOS (JPNN Grup), Jumat (31/5).

    Diharapkan, Tommy tidak patah semangat ketika mengetahui lawannya adalah Chen Long. Melawan Chen Long seharusnya menjadi motivasi bagi Tommy untuk menjadi yang terbaik di dunia. ”Ngapain kita menang dari lawan yang standarnya di bawah kita. Alangkah lebih baik kalau kita bisa menang dari pemain yang prestasinya di atas kita,” tegasnya.

    Meski begitu, Icuk tetap tidak mau membebani Tommy harus menang. Yang terpenting baginya adalah Tommy bisa memberikan penampilan yang terbaik. ”Bagi seorang atlet, andaikan memang harus kembali kalah yang terpenting sudah memberikan perlawanan yang sangat maksimal. Dan pastinya, semua pihak tetap akan mendukungnya,” imbuhnya.

    Intinya, kalau Chen Long bermain cepat, Tommy jangan ikut-ikutan. Dan jangan memberi bola-bola yang tinggi. Begitu pula sebaliknya. Jadi harus bisa atur emosi, terutama saat mendekati poin-poin akhir,” tambahnya.

    Secara keseluruhan sejak kembali dari kejuaraan Piala Sudirman di Kuala Lumpur, para pemain tunggal putra sudah berlatih serius. Semua pemain yang akan turun di lima nomor yang dipertandingkan ingin menunjukkan prestasi terbaiknya di depan publik sendiri,” kata Joko Suprianto, pelatih Pelatnas. (dil)

    Default Ini Kandang Kita Kawan!

    JAKARTA - Saatnya melupakan kegagalan di Piala Sudirman 2013. Kegagalan itu cukup menjadi cambuk yang baik untuk mengukir prestasi di Indonesia Open Superseries Premier 2013. Rasanya, rugi jika pemain-pemain Merah Putih gagal bersinar di even berhadiah total USD 700.000 itu. Apalagi, even ini digelar di Jakarta 10-16 Juni mendatang.

    Dari sejarah penyelenggaran Indonesia Open, jumlah penonton yang memadati Istora Senayan selalu banyak. Ini, tentunya dapat dijadikan alat pemompa semangat bagi Simon Santoso dkk untuk meraih gelar.

    Tentu saja kita berharap para pemain dapat tampil maksimal, apalagi mereka akan bermain di hadapan public sendiri. Terutama pasangan Tontowi/Liliyana, mereka harus membuktikan sebagai pasangan terbaik setelah meraih poin saat menghadapi Tiongkok di Piala Sudirman lalu,” kata staf ahli Menpora yang juga mantan pebulutangkis nasional, Ivana Lie.

    Ivana melihat, duet terbaik Indonesia sangat berpeluang menjuarai Indonesia Open tahun ini. Grafik permainan keduanya yang terus meningkat menjadi modal yang sangat baik bagi pasangan yang biasa disapa Owie/Butet itu. ”Saya kira, harapan terbesar ada di pundak mereka,” katanya.

    Namun demikian, Ivana juga berharap sektor lainnya juga mampu membuat kejutan. Di tunggal putra, juara bertahan tahun lalu Simon Santoso juga dipastikan ikut tampil. Meski belum 100 persen pulih dari sakit gondongannya, Simon sudah menunjukkan gairah untuk mempertahankan gelarnya.

    Demikian juga Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Tommy Sugiarto, Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, Taufik Hidayat dan tunggal putra lainnya diharapkan mampu membuat kejutan. Di tunggal putrid, Indonesia juga berharap dengan kejutan yang akan ditunjukkan Lindaweni Fanetri atau Aprilia Yuswandari. ”Bagi pemain di nomor lain seperti ganda putra dan putri, serta ganda campuran juga harus focus untuk meraih gelar,” kata Ivana.

    Sementara pelatih Pelatnas Joko Suprianto menilai, saat ini adalah kesempatan emas bagi pemain Indonesia untuk meraih gelar. Pasalnya, atmosfer di Istora Senayan sangat menguntungkan pemain-pemain Merah Putih.

    Hampir seluruh pemain terbaik dunia akan tampil, termasuk Lin Dan yang akan memulai lewat kualifikasi. Pemain tunggal Indonesia seperti Taufik Hidayat, Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Simon Santoso, Tommy Sugiarto, dan Hayom langsung masuk babak utama. Sementara sejumlah pemain muda akan memulai lewat kualifikasi. Bagi pemain muda ini kesempatan pula untuk membuktikan dirinya mampu mengimbangi pemain senior,” kata Joko Suprianto.

    Joko mengatakan, di sektor tunggal putra, Indonesia masih harus berjuang ekstra keras mengingat mereka harus melawan pemain-pemain berperingkat 10 besar. Sementara tunggal putra Indonesia kini masih berada di luar 10 besar, kecuali Sony Dwi Kuncoro. ”Sayangnya, Sony masih dihinggapi masalah cedera punggung yang belum pulih 100 persen,” kata Joko.

    Default Sony Sudah Merasa Lebih Baik

    SONY Dwi Kuncoro lama menghilang. Hampir tiga bulan, arek Suroboyo tersebut absen dari berbagai turnamen bulu tangkis.
    Itu setelah dia mengalami cedera pada All England Super Series 2013. Saat itu, Sony berhadapan dengan pebulu tangkis Denmark Jan O Jorgensen pada babak kedua (7/3/) turnamen tertua di kancah bulu tangkis dunia itu.
    Untung, tak beraksi pada beberapa turnamen tak membuat peringkatnya turun drastis. Hanya pada peringkat BWF (Federasi Bulu Tangkis Dunia) per 30 Mei 2013, dia turun satu setrip.
    Absennya Sony juga mempengaruhi kekuatan Indonesia pada ajang Piala Sudirman 2013. Untuk kali pertama, merah putih gagal melangkah ke babak semifinal kejuaraan beregu campuran tersebut.
    Di sela-sela persiapan menghadapi Indonesia Open Super Series yang dilaksanakan 10-16 Juni 2013, Sony masih menyempatkan membalas SMS (short message service, layanan pesan singkat) smashyes. Inilah petikan SMS-nya.

    Kondisinya bagaimana Son?
    -Sudah mulai membaik. Saya akan tampil pada Indonesia Open nanti.

    Targetnya?
    -Saya tak mau bicara muluk. Yang penting, saya akan berusaha tampil sebaik mungkin.

    Kata pelatih Anda saat junior, Ferry Stewart, Indonesia akan bisa menang atas Tiongkok kalau Sony main?
    -He he he. Bisa saja Om Ferry. Sebenarnya enggak juga.

    Mengapa Anda absen di Piala Sudirman?
    -Kondisinya belum memungkinkan untuk tampil. Kini, saya merasa kondisinya lebih baik.

    Hanya, untuk menjadi juara pada Indonesia Super Series Premier 2013, bukan hal yang mudah. Selain hadirnya pebulu tangkis tunggal putra terbaik dunia saat ini, Lee Chong Wei, asal Malaysia ada juga Lin Dan asal Tiongkok.
    Keduanya sering menjadi batu sandungan bagi Sony untuk bisa meraih posisi terhormat. (*)

    Kalau kondisi SDK 100% tentunya pelatih akan memainkan SDK di Piala Sudirman dan sudah pasti akan memperbesar kemungkinan Indonesia mengalahkan China.
    Tapi apa mau dikata, mungkin emang nasib SDK yang kurang beruntung di partai2 BESAR dunia

    Thumbs up BWF: More Testing Before Instant Reviews Start

    Sumber

    The Badminton World Federation will undertake more testing before proceeding with the live implementation of an instant review system – which was originally scheduled to take place at the Djarum Indonesia Open next week.

    Instead the world-governing organisation will continue testing the line-call technology in an effort to resolve some last-minute issues which arose during the recent testing at the Li-Ning BWF Sudirman Cup in Malaysia.

    “We have undergone some really good testing at both the Maybank Malaysia Open and the Li-Ning Sudirman Cup and, though we envisaged being ready to go live with an instant review system at the BWF Superseries Premier in Indonesia, we have determined it best to delay its introduction. We want to revisit some technical aspects and engage in further testing,” explained BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund (right).

    “So instead of allowing players to challenge line calls at the Indonesia Open, we will use that Superseries Premier event as another testing ground.”

    Lund stressed that despite this decision, BWF is committed to this “progressive and innovative step for the BWF World Superseries and badminton overall”.

    “Instant reviews are coming – players have our assurance on that. We cannot give a date right now as we would prefer to be sure we have any issues resolved before announcing again that we are implementing a challenge system. The system is designed to protect the players and the integrity of the game, so we feel it is only prudent to be sure we can guarantee that the system will perform perfectly,” he said.

    The Secretary General reiterated BWF is still considering various systems while reaffirming it will be using camera-based technology, allowing line-call referees to reassess the call under review.

    “Our priority is to ensure we get the mechanics of this operation working properly and we just need some additional time to do so and to look at the technologies available.”

    Default INDONESIA OPEN Preview – Last tourney for Taufik



    Indonesia Open Superseries Premier will begin in just one week’s time. The roar and incredible atmosphere from supporters has become the benchmark for badminton tournaments. Continuing on from the success of last year, the hosts are again offering world-class total prize money, but so much more besides.

    The third of five OSIM BWF Superseries Premier events, the Djarum Indonesia Open, may only be the second most lucrative individual badminton tournament in the world but as a spectacle, it has consistently been the act to follow. With a festive welcome dinner featuring players in traditional local costume and a week-long festival outside the stadium as well, Indonesia puts on a show even before the shuttlecocks start flying.



    Farewell tournament for the “Backhand Smasher”

    The 2013 edition might be an emotional tournament for the host nation because one of their legends, Taufik Hidayat (pictured), has decided to make this the final event of his career. Before any tears are shed or bows taken, though, Taufik is predicted to have a tough time on court, right from the first round. The Indonesian star could hardly have a more difficult start than to face Lin Dan, who is obviously the strongest candidate to come through the qualification rounds to become Taufik’s opponent.

    It promises to be an early highlight to the tournament because each participant is on his own mission. Taufik wants to end up his career with a beautiful ending while Lin Dan has ambition to win the tournament. This is the only Superseries tournament that never won by him.

    Escape from Lin Dan does not necessarily pave Taufik’s way to the next round. Even if the home favourite were to pull off his first upset of Lin Dan since Doha, Lee Chong Wei is the odds-on favourite to be the next obstacle to the winner of the Lin-Hidayat encounter, although he himself must win over Wang Zhengming in the first round. The men’s singles world #1 is not easily beaten but doesn’t mean it’s impossible to beat him.

    In the other half of the draw, Tommy Sugiarto will be facing another bastion in the “great wall of China”, Chen Long. It’s gonna be their third match in the last four weeks. Tommy, who has never won against Chen Long, has a chance to improve his record if the home-court factor can help his confidence level.

    First round men’s singles matches of note:
    Lee Chong Wei (MAS) [1] vs. Wang Zhengming (CHN)
    Boonsak Ponsana (THA) [8] vs. Viktor Axelsen (DEN)
    Taufik Hidayat (INA) vs. Lin Dan (CHN) [probable]
    Kashyap Parupalli (IND) vs. Sho Sasaki (JPN)



    Saina’s back, and fourth?

    Three-time champion Saina Nehwal (pictured) of India is due back from a toe injury and will appear in the Thailand Open before going to Indonesia to hold her title. If Saina’s form stays strong until the final round, it will be her fourth Indonesia Open title but it won’t be an easy start for her because she must face Indonesia’s top women’s singles shuttler, India Grand Prix Gold winner Lindaweni Fanetri, in the first round. Indonesian supporters will be another pressure for her in the way to defend her title beside Linda, who has the ambition to climb higher in the world rankings.



    However, China’s women are still the strongest and will again be the ones to beat. The youngest and tallest of these, Sun Yu (pictured), will start off in the qualification rounds but will likely need to face top seed Li Xuerui in the second round. Wang Yihan is another threat to watch out for but these three are all in the top half of the draw along with Han Li. Wang Shixian is the sole Chinese shuttler in the bottom half, along with Saina and all three Indonesians, plus a possible two more from qualifying.

    First round women’s singles matches of note:
    Saina Nehwal (IND) [2] vs. Lindaweni Fanetri (INA)
    Ratchanok Intanon [5] (THA) vs. Han Li (CHN)
    Sung Ji Hyun (KOR) [6] vs. P. V. Sindhu (IND)
    Sayaka Takahashi (JPN) vs. Porntip Buranaprasertsuk (THA)


    Continued to next post because the text that I have entered is too long (10718 characters). I should shorten it to 10000 characters long.

    Default INDONESIA OPEN Preview – Last tourney for Taufik

    Will this be the time?

    Tontowi Ahmad and Lilyana Natsir (pictured below) have, of course, try their luck this year. The two-time All England gold medallists have been through to the Indonesia Open semi-finals twice in a row but still have not succeeded in nabbing the title that Natsir, with former partner Nova Widianto was the last Indonesian to win.



    Tontowi and Lilyana have, of course, become one of the home team’s perennial high hopes for a title at the Istora Senayan, after the men’s doubles, in which Indonesia has not taken gold since 2006, incidentally. Mads Pieler Kolding / Kamila Rytter Juhl are to be the first hurdle for the host’s #1 mixed pair. If all goes well, Tontowi/Lilyana will face Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying in the quarter-finals and Joachim Fischer Nielsen / Christinna Pedersen in the semis.

    Defeat in the semi-finals in two consecutive years should be a valuable lesson for the number two seeds. The desire to keep the title at home no doubt burns inside them, as does their fighting spirit to get their second Superseries Premier title of the year.

    On the other hand, Malaysia’s number one pair, Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying will be looking to forget their painful loss to Germany at the Sudirman Cup. The Malaysians’ first round opponents, Qiu Zihan and Bao Yixin, may not be considered as strong as China’s other top mixed doubles pairs, but they are certain to give the 5th seeds a run for their money. As we know, China’s players are not beaten easily. They have high morale and do not give up easily.

    First round mixed doubles matches of note:
    Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying (MAS) [5] vs. Qiu Zihan / Bao Yixin (CHN)
    Markis Kido / Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth (INA) vs. Ko Sung Hyun / Kim Ha Na (KOR)
    Tarun Kona / Ashwini Ponnappa (IND) vs. Praveen Jordan / Vita Marissa (INA)
    (Qualifying) Hirokatsu Hashimoto / Miyuki Maeda (JPN) [2] vs. Shen Ye / Tang Jinhua (CHN)



    Old, new, former

    There are several familiar names with new partners in the women’s doubles draw. Singapore’s Vanessa Neo who is known as Danny Bawa Chrisnanta’s partner in mixed doubles, will try her capability with Shinta Mulia Sari, after a brief stint with Shinta’s partner, Yao Lei, at the Badminton Asia Championships and the Malaysia Grand Prix Gold. Two-time world junior champions Lee So Hee / Shin Seung Chan will be their challengers in the first round. However, Yao Lei pairs with Fu Mingtian will begin from qualification.

    In addition, Indonesia has been doing some reshuffling of their women’s doubles partnerships. This has yielded both new pairs such as Anneke Feinya Agustine / Della Destiara Harris, Suci Rizky Andini / Jenna Gozali, and Komala Dewi / Meiliana Jauhari, as well as Greysia Polii and Nitya Krishinda Maheswari (pictured) being re-paired. Greysia and Nitya did not play together between the 2010 Uber Cup and the 2013 Sudirman Cup. The reunited pair will face an early obstacle from 3rd-seeded Christina Pedersen / Kamilla Rytter Juhl of Denmark.



    Not to be left out, the Chinese team has re-paired Tian Qing / Zhao Yunlei, who had separated for the first 5 months of 2013. The Olympic gold medallists’ quest to return to the top standing will probable require them to win a confrontation with the new world #2’s, Misaki Matsumoto / Ayaka Takahashi (pictured right), in the quarter-finals but there is every possibility that Tian/Zhao will repeat last year’s final against Wang Xiaoli / Yu Yang.

    First round women’s doubles matches of note:
    Duanganong Aroonkesorn / Kunchala Voravichitchaikul (THA) [6] vs. Anneke Feinya Agustin / Della Destiara Haris (INA)
    Bao Yixin / Cheng Shu (CHN) [8] vs. Jung Kyung Eun / Kim Ha Na (KOR)
    Vanessa Neo / Shinta Mulia Sari (SIN) vs. Lee So Hee / Shin Seung Chan (KOR)

    Waiting for another surprise

    The men’s doubles has a uniform strength map. Disappointing results at the Sudirman Cup indicate that Cai Yun / Fu Haifeng are not as strong as they used to be. However, China’s power does not stop there. There are All England winners Liu Xiaolong / Qiu Zihan and German and Swiss Open champions Chai Biao / Hong Wei (pictured below), who hope to continue the Chinese dynasty’s full-spectrum dominance that it enjoyed during the reign of Cai/Fu.



    Also, former world #3 Guo Zhendong is in the race with former world #4 Shen Ye and these two can be expected to make things interesting. They get a fitting welcome from another player making his 2013 Superseries debut as their first round contest is with Denmark Open champions Shin Baek Cheol and Yoo Yeon Seong, the latter being slated to mark his return from a temporary military hiatus in Thailand this week.

    Indonesia young men’s doubles pair, Rian Agung Saputra / Angga Pratama, surprisingly showed their best at the Sudirman Cup by beating the current Olympic gold medallists Cai Yun / Fu Haifeng. They will be tested by Macau Open winners Lee Sheng Mu / Tsai Chia Hsin in the first round and possibly to face Ko Sung Hyun / Lee Yong Dae in the second round. We’re waiting for another surprise from these young players.

    First round men’s doubles matches of note:
    Hiroyuki Endo / Kenichi Hayakawa (JPN) [4] vs. Mohammad Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan (INA)
    Shin Baek Cheol / Yoo Yeon Seong (KOR) [8] vs. Guo Zhendong / Shen Ye (CHN)
    Angga Pratama / Ryan Agung Saputra (INA) vs. Lee Sheng Mu / Tsai Chia Hsin (TPE)

    Stay tuned to Badzine next week as we bring you the Indonesia Open action with live reports and photos from Badmintonphoto.
