. Only hours to go before the 2011 All England Day 1 (Qualification Round) begins. I wonder why there is still no info of events and draws at tournamentsoftware, located at; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/events.aspx?id=C288CA87-7360-4444-8AFD-4D278ACCF669 .
Probably, we have a draw on the eve of this Badminton tournament . Probably, we have a draw on the eve of this Badminton tournament, as it was discussed in this thread; http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...the-draw-on-the-eve-of-a-Badminton-tournament I don't know what has become of the idea. It was proposed in May 2008. And 74% of BCers voted to approve it. .
But the draw was already made: http://www.allenglandbadminton.com/draws.htm I just hope it doesn't become an English National's situation, where scores were updated rather slowly (and no live score)! I think that was due to a technical problem. I guess it will go up soon, as the All England site links to Tournament Software to display the latest scores.
There is no redraw. Give Saina relatively easier path to final in WS. Thomas/Kamilla withdrew. Seems Thomas Laybourn is still injured. Poor him. Nice for Nova/Vita, but harder path for them. In first round, should meet Polish XD
Commentators for the AE It is hoped that the commentators for the 101 edition of the AE tournament are Gill Clark and Iain Wright. They were former players and they know the history of badminton and its technical aspects. They also know about the players, their winnings and losses and they are armed with lots of statistics. Their pronunciation is exceptional, even with Chinese, Indonesian and Thai names. I agree with what was said about the quality of the commentary of the 2011 German Open.
That is a first I believe ... But since this is a Super Series, unlike German, she will probably be one.
I am so happy that Nova/Vita got promoted to the qualification list... It is such a pity that Nova/Vita will likely to meet the fourth seed. Also for Kido/Lita should advance to the main draw and meet the Dane#2. I hope they can fight in the early rounds as their paths are relatively easier compare with those in the other draw.
Harder than not playing at all? Harder for their russian opponents you mean! Imagine originally drawn against the very much beatable japanese pair of Hashimoto/Fujii and now facing them instead!? Polish pair also not on form it seems ...
Bad draw.. If Firda and April can beat their opponents respectively,they should fight each other to book one ticket to main draw.. Good luck for all INA players!
yeh.. i think baek choel pair will beat kido pair. kido can't really play mxd lol. and baek has won asian games recently although also how the 'pair' plays overall.
2011 All England Day 1 (Qualification Round) will be starting soon . The info of events and draws at tournamentsoftware is now available. .
Yup perhaps the korean pair will win.. Hope Kido just focus on MD and chase the only major title that they havent won, All England..
The All England site link to tournamentsoftware is up and running . Yes, the All England Site link to tournamentsoftware is up and running too. .
it seems like i've been missing a lot since taking a long hiatus from this forum. did i hear it right? Nova Widianto and Vita Marissa? What happened to Lilyana Natsir?
Lilyana Natsir pair with Tontowi Ahmad,seeded #7 here... while Nova become independent player already...
