My prediction for 2nd round: MS: Lin Dan vs Roslin... No doubt Super Dan will win this match! Peter Gade vs Ng Wei..... Wei probably can create upset LCW vs Ronald Susilo... this time LCW will prove that he is better than Ronald Chen Jin vs Lee Hyun Il... LHI is not back to top perform, but he can create upset since CJ also look stagnant. PArk Sung Hwan vs Kenneth Jonassen.. I think Park SUng Hwan have more chance to win than Jonassen.. Kay Bin Yeoh vs Taufik Hidayat... If TH play normal, no doubt he can go through to next round Yan Kit Chan vs Chen Yu.... no comment, never see how Yan Kit Chan played before. Simon Santoso vs Boonsak Ponsana .... Boonsak is on fire, but SImon also not easy to beat. WS Zhang Ning vs Tracey Hallam... No surprise Tine Rasmusen vs Jiang Yang Jiao ....should be good match, difficult to predict Wang Chen vs Zhou Mi... Wang Chen little bit run out the gas after WC Lu Lan vs Yu Hirayama.... Lu lan lah.... Jun Jae Yun vs Maria Kristin...... I hope Maria can manage JJY, but JJY is good player beside Hwang Hye Yun Xing Aiying vs Yip Pui Yin.....hope XA will win, then Maria face easier opponent in QF Yao Jie vs Pi Hongyan.... 2 former Chinese player... I think PH is better than YJ Wong Mew Choo vs Xie Xinfang... This is XXF turn to topple down WMC
So, 4 casualties for Team INA today (most of them pretty much expected, except for Sony's loss ). Well, at least better than MAS, where in MD alone 4 pairs have lost More will fall tomorrow.... Match order (in Tokyo time): 1:40pm Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa vs Hsieh Yu-Hsin/Chien Yu-Chin -- Flandy/Vita probably facing the easiest match tomorrow? They should progress. 1:40pm Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Yu Mi -- another tough match in store, but, logically the World Champion should also progress. 3:00pm Taufik Hidayat vs Yeoh Kay Bin -- after today's hard-fought match, Taufik should relax a little bit. He should beat the MAS player. 3:00pm Simon Santoso vs Boonsak Ponsana -- Boonsak is definitely on a roll now...beating one Chinese player after another. Simon will face a very hard time. It will be an upset if Simon can progress to the QF. 4:20pm Maria Kristin Yulianti vs Jun Jae Yun -- another R16 performance in a SS event should be the maximum expected of Maria currently. 5:00pm Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Albertus Susanto Njoto/Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama -- a tricky match for Tony/Candra against their junior (now representing HKG). However, the defending champion should win. 5:40pm Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan vs Sudket Prapakamol/Phattapol Ngensrisuk -- also a tricky one for the current World Champion, but, again, they should progress to another rematch of the WC Final against Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae. 5:40pm Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto vs Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong -- can Luluk/Alvent upset the favorite? Little is expected of them, but, an upset is very much welcomed. 7:00pm Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir vs Gao Ling/Huang Sui -- ditto for Vita/Butet...it will be a huge upset if they can topple the second seed.
i don't know what's happened to CJ recently. this time last year, he was looking almost unbeatable, except by his teammates. nowadays, he seems to be a bit of a spent force. i wonder if yan yan knows why ....
Chen Jin need to be a more complete player and should learn from Lin Dan as purely with power smashes will not take him too far.
Tricky next round for LCW as Ronald is playing well and healthy, will be an excellent match and good test for LCW.
if susilo play the same way he beat sony d and not long ago sony d beaten lcw quite badly, it would be hard for lcw to unseat susilo
My prediction.. MS Lin Dan vs Roslin Peter Gade vs Ng Wei LCW vs Ronald Susilo (Go LCW win it..!!!) Chen Jin vs Lee Hyun Il PArk Sung Hwan vs Kenneth Jonassen. Kay Bin Yeoh vs Taufik Hidayat Yan Kit Chan vs Chen Yu Simon Santoso vs Boonsak Ponsana MD FHF/CY vs Lars/Jonas LJJ/HJM vs Albertus/Yohan CW/TG vs Yu Hsun/Yu Lang JE/MLH vs Sakamoto/Ikeda Tadasi/Keita vs JJS/LYD MK/HS vs Sudket/Phattapol CTF/LWW vs Hendri/Saputra Luluk/Alvent vs KKK/TBH
I think there will be an upset today from a Malaysian --- Yeoh Kay Bin will fight very hard to beat Taufik. Taufik had a tough match yesterday against Chen Hong. YKB, much fitter, will want to Taufik's scalp today --- he is ready for this. Believe me, this is the match to follow and it will be a shocker -- Taufik will know he is in a real game today!
It looks like all Ina players will go the a third round today, except Luluk/Alvent. Vita/Lylyana will make a surprise today...and eventually will come out as winners ....
Vita/Lilyana were not a great WD who gona spring the surprise here ,judge with their respective success in XD events only
ALL Chinese women pairs are now nervous when they have to play Vita/Lilyana... Vita/Lylyana are just like KKK/TBH in 2006. It is an upset of the day if Vita/Lilyana lost to Gao Ling/???...
