i think they are not used to playing side by side,thats why there were lots of near clashes and misses well,she also missed quite a few critical shots that went higher behind her,as she is more a front player,of which would have been noproblem if zhang is standing at the back and can cover the miss they are more a front and back team,somehow the thais forced them to play side by side
gade is in superb condition this time the chen hong match you can see the intensity of the 2 players that i think even chen hong in good condition was surprised by the talented but usually not long lasting gade and to think i have written off gade as a has been the speed of their rallies is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! nothing smooth..just bareknuckles flying all over kind of game
KKK/CCM might bow out to Candra/Sigit...Candra/Sigit are on a mission after reuniting and returning back to their winning ways. I think they might retire after the All England if they win this....i hope not though....My predicitons have been coming through...so im hoping for a miracle from TEAM USA!! Go Team USA!!
So far no country has more than one player in Men Semi : MS-China, Denmark, Indonesia, Malaysia. MD-Indonesia, Malaysia, USA/Denmark, Indonesia/Korea. MX-NewZealand, China, Indonesia, Thailand. But in Women, China still dominating with : LS-China, Germany, Taiwan, China. WD-China, Korea, China, China. Hope Korea and Japan will penetrate China women domination.
Anyway, the WD game looks so boring .Especially, just watched the wonderful Candra/Sigit's game 20 mins ago.
yup..another surprise.i have ranked them at best third or 4th place for the indos sigit/candra my badminton world is turning upside down with all these upsets perhaps its the first time playing in america....different feng shui
12 / 2 now ho hum chinese zhang/yang VS. korean lee/lee the chinese are the top pair in the world today
didnt expect chen to lose that badly almost easily to gade.....he did play well..just totally outmatched by well conditioned gade unfortunately 14/3 now
