As expected, Wang Xin lethal attacking play poses a formidable threat to all non-CHN opponents, only a few of her teammates know how to deal with her.Bae Youn-joo practically has no idea against Wang Xin, lost tamely 8-21 / 9-21.

Taufik Hidayat's recent form and results are unrecognisable. If he still cannot get his act together, he might as well retire now to spare himself and INA further embarrassment, or at least take a break to regroup himself.Go taufik...!
CHEN jin already had enough of sasaki nightmare.. he wants to beat sasaki in front of his home crowd.Sho Sasaki too nervous infront of home crowd?
Of course, Lin Dan is always going to win against familiar opponents, except that he is bored, unmotivated and expects to win by sheer respect, just keeping the shuttle in play, content to move the opponent around the court, not pushing himself unless forced to up the tempo and inject pace when threatened with defeat. Only a handful of players can forced him out of his comfort zone, viz. Datuk Lee CW, Peter Gade, Sho Sasaki. Apart from Lee, I hope a new player - anyone from any country - will suddenly burst onto the international scene, start whacking all the top players one by one and create excitement in the badminton world; otherwise, it is always LD, Lee, LD,Lee... all too predictable and staid.LD win 21-16, 11-21, 21-12![]()
