I consider both TPE and JPN very tough opponents for SIN. May team spirit in the Singapore camp prevail to give us that illusive point!
A bit off topic-Hmm.. ..yes, i can understand your point and of course it'll be a very big task..But i would rather feature a more consistent & stable Flandy+??? over Nova, esp. in "big", "pressure-cooker" situation..We've(esp. INA fans) seen what Nova can/can not bring in these situations...And if one compares both pairs' record(Nova+Lilyana vs. Flandy+Vita), i would assume the latter have performed much more consistently for the 1st half of this yr... Anyways, sorry guys for going a bit off topic, as we're still in group play mode..Hope this can be discuss again once the Semifinalists are revealed.
I am about the sign off for the day. Last check shows Li Li is leading CSC 8:3 in the first set. Would this be an upset?
Yes I did. I was comparing the TPE WS and WD with JPN WS and WDn and see which are the relatively tougher opponent.
I don't think LCW will have a chance against LD, and also the MD is a lost hope. I only think in WD they have a chance
Well, Reiko/Kumiko are about on-par with Jiang/Li (whereas Cheng/Chien are a notch above), so no assured point there. However, Japan has a very balanced team; its MS, MD and XD can deliver points.
It seems like LCW is playing with renewed vigour in this SC. OK, no disrespect to AS, but I think he could be the weakest MS in Div 1. But the way LCW won against a fresh Boonsak will surely put him in a right frame of mind against LD or CJ (Dun think CHN wud risk Bao after his recent loss to LCW in IO) , LCW has a fighting chance. KKK/TBH can beat CY/FHF. They have done it before, so no reason why they cant repeat it here. WMC. What can I say? Just hope that she can hit form and take it to rubbers. XD. Nothing to say here. Just simply no hope (even if we put WCH/WPT) I wud prefer to let it go and let WPT be fresh for the WD. WD. CHN's WD just seems too strong here. Overall, I feel MAS shud be able to nick 1 point from either MS or MD.
Nick 1 point, I'll be happy. Nick 2, I'll be esctatic. Nick 3, I may die. How come today's thread is peppered with Malaysia even though not playing today?
Looks like Cheng Shao Chieh is running away with the match after failing to complete a comeback in the first set. She is supremely fit. Only a while ago, she was playing in the XD.
Ooops... spoken too quickly. Li Li strung a few points in a row. Anyway, if Cheng wins, the MD should decide the winner.
Australia has an unassailable 3-0 lead against Spain and tops the group. They will be favourites for promotion to Division 3. They will face either Bulgaria or Czech Republic in the promotion playoff.
