For Chen Jin to beat Chen Hong, he will need to remember to change strategy from his match against TH. He attacked TH's forehand more often in his 3rd game against TH, and he can't afford to do that against CH... better attack CH's backhand... CH's attack is way too strong to handle even for the top players today.
SF prediction in my mind: MS : As predicted earlier, finally happen all-Chinese-SF that of course not thrilling enough for bdm fans. TH, the last hope to break China wall must be failed again. The last Non-CHN-shuttler who has grabbed MS crown was LCW in Malaysia Open/06 (medio June) and after that nobody can stop the Chinese in effort to get victorious. From Chinese Taipei Open until China Open the MS title always goes to Chinese player -- LD (CtO-Macao-Hongkong-WChamp-Japan) ; BCL (Korea) and Chen Yu (Thailand). They are too scary, maybe next DkO is big chance for local fave PG & KJ to eliminate them because China 'only' send 2nd class MS squad. My choice : LD vs CJ in finale! WS: Big surprise, only ZN who is left in last 4. Really hard to ZN to defend her title, but I believe she can do that! ZN and Yao Jie will clash in last round. MD: The most wanted matches, I guess. Wish Markis/Hendra and Luluk/Alven can create all-Indonesian-Final tomorrow (although slim chance of it,especially Luluk/Alven to face their nemesis). WD: No need to comment, the answer must be CHN as a winner! XD : Again, another training-day for Chinese force!
Check ranking points to predict winner It's LD 's turn to lose cos he's comfortably WN1. BCL and CJ to rack up ranking points so both can be in the top 4? Better for LCW not to be top 2 so he can possibly meet LD in semifinal stage.
You have to be joking... it's already a sure win for LYB, and there really is no point in limiting the effort of the players in their matches any more. Hopeufully your theory be wrong, and prove to the world that Badminton(China) at least is not fixing matches as much as Horse racing.
