I hope it's worth the results in AG...if they get bad results in AG after they skip Den and French, they got no one to blame but themselves.....
Some withdrawals according to M/Q Report version 3 (updated 05 October 2010) : MS -- Lee Chong Wei (MAS), Mohd Hafiz Hashim (MAS) MD -- Chan Peng Soon/Lim Khim Wah (MAS) XD -- Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying (MAS), Dave Khodabux/Samantha Barning (NED)
Not only LCW, all Msian players who are involved in both CWG & AG. Only exception is LKW who unfortunately have to withdraw cos CPS preparing for AG.
Oh yeah lah, CPS/LKW my fav among the 3 pairs Mak/TWK didnt go CWG, so they have time to rest & train
Good to know LCW had withdrew.........he need to be more concentrated for AG....!! Sorry, double posts !
..looks like the trio European tourneys, this month, will be dominated by the European players as a lot of the Asian players will be absent to prepare for next month's AG.

Crap! Bad draw for GWS/TKS, meeting top seeds MB/CM in the very first round. I hope they can drag it to three games at least if they don't upset the Danes like what CPS/LKW did! Mak/TWK have to take revenge against Yohan/WWH and try to set a meeting with the top seeds in the QF. That is what I expect from them. If they manage to pass the tough first round test, the second round is a breeze. If they reach QF, I hope they at least give a good fight before bowing out. Vietnam GP finalists Fairuz/OSH to crash and burn in the second round against AC/NR. And... yes, MD is the only place of MAS interest, lols.
..correct-a-mundo...WYH, unfortunately, is being left out from the AG Women's squad. CHN is going with WX, WSX, JYJ and LL to represent in the AG. See this link, starting w/post #1510: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?60684-Wang-Yihan/page89 LiXR is the 5th or 6th WS for CHN.
