The MS draw is like a mirror image of last year. e.g BCL might meet LD second round ASmith meet TH early rounds Chen Jin probably meet LD in SF PG might take on TH in QF. The only surprise being Sony might meet LCW in 2nd round. I wonder if BWF did this purposely? That being said, I think LD has a pretty good chance of winning it again.
I cant believe I saw before our Israeli Misha Zilberman within AE players, but now there is no one Misha.. how can it be
On MD front: MK/HS should go to SF to meet KKK/TBH. While CY/FHF should see JJS/LYD on the other semi.
Indonesian to English translation Kido / Hendra Aim All-England title Friday, March 05, 2010 | 18:17 pm TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta - Indonesia's fav doubles, Markis Kido / Hendra Setiawan, said in a condition ready to compete at the All England championships which will take place in Birmingham, England, 9-14 Maret future. Super series tournament's most prestigious, according to them, will be one of the highest targets to be achieved in their professional career as badminton players. "We really wanted the title of the All England because it is the only prestigious title which we have never achieved. We are ready to jump in there and we are optimistic to champion, "Kido said to journalists at a shopping center in Jakarta, Friday (5 / 3). Couple Kido / Hendra so far is the strongest men's doubles pair owned by Indonesia. They were the world championships in 2007 and steal the gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Some super other prestigious series such as Malaysia Open, China Open, and the Indonesia Open, also they had won. Kido / Hendra was not in the best condition today. This is because Hendra had just recovered from dengue fever he experienced some time ago. Having to be hospitalized, forced Hendra could not defend Indonesia's Thomas Cup qualifiers that took place in Nakhon, Thailand, some time ago. But Hendra said his condition was getting good. "Three days after discharge from the hospital, I was training myself because Kido performed with the Thomas Cup team. It was now about ten days of training. So my condition is good, "said Hendra. Together Kido, Hendra had been training together since last four days. Exercise is done directly focused to meet the All England. "There will be a challenge at the All England this time because the ball would slide more severe because colder temperatures in the UK. But as we have experienced players ready to anticipate it, "said Hendra. The best achievement Kido / Hendra at the All England was the second round in 2007. Do not want to repeat the same bad results, Hendra confirmed for this year must be different conditions.

We will fight the players from Japan in the first round. Furthermore if passed will return to meet with Russian or Japanese partner again. Toughest opponents we are from South Korea and Malaysia, we will probably meet in the semi-finals. But if if could get this far we would fight even harder, "said Hendra. Kido / Hendra will leave for England on Saturday (6 / 3). Time left two days before the start of the All England would they use to adapt to the weather in England. ARIS M
I hope this really happens, this will be the perfect top-4 setup. Hope of repeat of All-England 2007 final
Its not easy for kkk/TBH to beat MK/HS and also for CY/FHF to defeat LYD/JJS.......so to repeat 2007 final, kkk/tbh and cy/fhf has to win their SF matches....If this happened, then its a great chance for cy/fhf to defend thier AE title......!
What I hope for : MS - LCW vs LD MD - KKK/TBH vs CY/FHF that will only happen in my dream I don't get why they say its the draw of death. LCW's draw is reasonable, and I don't think LP/JR is a big threat(Damn, I hope not to eat my words) KKK/TBH losing more to MK/HS lately, out of 3 meetings last year(I think?)they lost the French SS and SEA Games individual gold medal match to them but beat them in the team event. CY/FHF lost to JJS/LYD this year but their matches have always been very close.
2 more day before it begin finally i never so exciting before not even the og2008 hope it get interesting
how come i don't see Choi Ho Jin's name in either the MS Qualification or Main draw? i want him to have a chance of meeting and possibly beating Lin Dan once again?
being at rank 272 of the latest listing, he needs to go thro pre-qualify, pre-pre-qualify, pre-pre-pre-qualify etc to be in the main draw of the elimination rounds. cant see any chance of him playing against LD in an open t'ment real soon.
^^I saw his name..^^ ..in the list of MS players. But couldn't find his name in either the Qualifying draw or Main draw. Did he withdraw?.. See below: http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...C74159A-75FE-4310-B192-8AE684721561&player=71
