bad draw for INA WD pair..i dont think Mel/Shendy and Nitya/Greys can defeat these 2 CHN strongest pairs..
LCW will have to face those opponent who have beaten him..........like NTM, SDK......and PG/LD.........A very tough one for LCW.........
Clash of the titans ....... I prefer .... The tiger vs the dragon ....... (Refer on badminton-information site , section interview , 'number 16 . What is your strength in game?' and Lin Dan refer on at700 LTD dragon that is specially for him and his shirt which also have 'dragon' word)
The draw looks pretty fair in most categories except in mens singles. The upper half is packed with quality players. One quarter even have Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai and Peter Gade in it, 3 players when at their best would be ranked top 5 in the world. If Chen Jin is in form he may very well take advantage of this favorable draw and go all the way and beat a tired LD or LCW in the final. Having Joachim Persson seeded as number 7 is a big joke in my opinion and gives an indication of that the seedings in some cases aint reality but just an indication of how many tournaments you have played or how many favorable draws you have gotten.
Tired LD ? You can say that again. LD will actually have to work if he want to win this WC, seing how he always gets bypasses from other chinese players before finals.
no offence but i think it's harsh... hehhehe... On His best day he beat Taufik Hidayat... so,, i think that Joachim deserved to be seeded 0n top 8.... who knows he found his form in this WC 2009...
60 PAWs ?? This is like the Mother of all PAWs and will probably separate the "men" from the "boys".....
