http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=30167 Wow, such a bad luck for Denmark's MD(MB/CS&JR/MCP)/XD(TL/KRJ&JFN/CP)!!
MS - Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan final on track! But Lee Chong Wei has to start off with very tough matches from Sho Sasaki and Sony/Bao Chunlai, followed by Simon Santoso. In SF, he cannot take it easy against Chen Long/Peter Gade too. Final, he should meet Lin Dan. Challenging draw for LCW starting from the very 1st round but if he plays up to normal standard I expect to see him in the final. Uncle Wong gets Lin Dan in first round WS- Wong Mew Choo gets Wang Xin AGAIN! This time even earlier than 2nd round! MD - Mak Hee Chun/Tan Wee Kiong will most likely lose to the JPN pair who thrashed them in the AG individual event considering their rock bottom form. Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong has smooth first 2 rounds but the real challenge awaits them in the QF in form of Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan I don't expect them to progress past SF though as Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng or Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong awaits them. Mohd Fairuz/OSH has a big chance to prove themselves as they face Indonesian's rising combination of Mohammad Ahsan/Bona Septano in the first round. If they succeed, Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen will probably await in the second round. Impossible to think of them getting past Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in QF though. XD - Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying will be up against Tontowi Ahmad/Lilyana Natsir in the very first round. How bad can their luck in SS get?
WS - Wong Mew Choo has to pass through 4 China players until final round. Very bad draw for her... XD - Hope CPS/GLY will prove themselves as 1st Mas XD pair.
Yeah, barring any upset they will meet too early, R/16... Yup, on paper scenario we'll see clash of the titans part 2 in this year So many interesting matches at R/32... Hard test for Fran/Pia as He Hanbin/Yu Yang will be their first round opponent.
Quite a tricking one for LCW if he has a chance to play SS...............coached by LM, former coach of LCW who know LCW's play inside out !!
All CHN XD, except TJM/QT, are in the same quarter. Seems many WD seeds will lost sooner. Will WS champion be non-CHN player? Any of Saina, Tine, or BYJ stop WYH? Can't wait many interesting matches in first round MS. Will Simon defeat Boonsak again? Who will be better between BCL and SDK? Also, CL vs SWH, and DPY vs Jorgenssen
KKK/TBH will cross sword with Kido/Hendra and/or Fu/Chai... at least they avoid LYD/JJS and CM/MB... I think 50-50 chance... boleh?
Of course la, tough tournament mah, players need Osim Chair to massage their body after one week of hard work in SS Premier ! LOL
Helang, you are thinking MK/HS might not in their best form ? or its KKK/TBH up trend in this AE again ?? How about their chances against CY/FHF ??
