Yamaguchi cannot play WS1 as her ranking is lower than Minatsu, Sayaka and ErikoCan Saina/Sindhu play the long grueling rally with WD of Japan? Shouldn't Ayake Yamaguchi play as WS1 first vs. Saina?

I am praying KOREA will pass CHINA tomorrow and whoever in the final as long as it is not CHINA I am soooo excited and happy and jumping for joy ... Good luck INDIA Uber Cup team, you have proven yourself.
i think it would be more difficult for malaysia to win against indonesia than against china...malaysia would most probably have a guaranteed win in the first singles. first doubles is the point that malaysia would want to win, though judging from their form, would be rather difficult for HTH/TBH. If it does get to the 2nd doubles, malaysia would have a good chance of winning. china looks weaker this time round. it all boils down to CWF. he is THE crucial player for malaysia. if he loses...all hell breaks lose!
gutted with the danes loss though. would like to see at least one euro team in the semis. if JOJ didn't play like a beginner last night they would've already been in the semis.
I wouldn't mind Korea beating China either, but that's more or less impossible. SJH can never beat LXR, Chinese WD are practically unbeatable, and as for BYJ versus WSX...enough said.

I apologized I got mixed up. I meant to refer to the beauty, Sayaka Takahashi.
Anybody can predict anything. But only time will tell what will happen tomorrow.
It looks like a wishful thinking anybody can beat CHINA. What about JPN's chance?
miracle happens. but not often. we never expected Korea to beat China in 2010!!
Why did Lee/ Yoo became the first MD when their rangking is lower than Kim/ Kim ??
In team championships, I venture to say that nowadays there are several teams that have fighting chances to upset CHN. In the Uber Cup, despite CHN having the top 3 WR WS, none of the three are as stable and reliable as Zhang Ning used to be in the past, as any one of them can crack under pressure.
Perhaps that's why LYB only give CHN's prospects as 50% for the Thomas Cup (mainly because of their relatively weak MDs) and 60% for the Uber Cup.

it is interesting that LYB has mellowed down quite a bit lately. i think he internally would give a higher % for Uber Cup, but seems that he doesn't want to appear as too arrogant publicly anymore.
