Host INA always dependable XD and MD pairs, Ahmad/Natsir and Ahsan/Setiawan were ousted yesterday, Maheswari/Polii is the last hope to seek glory at homesoil Premier. Japan will be represented by two singles players, MS and WS for today's final. XD, Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (CHN) v Xu Chen/Ma Jin (CHN) Head-to-Head stats : 19-2 It's going to final scenario when top and second seed is facing each other, the unstoppable Zhang/Zhao is clear favourite to retain 2011 and 2013 title unless last year beaten finalist Xu C/Ma J will perform something extradordinary to overcome their illustrious teammates. Both of these pairs dumped another strong XD combination yesterday, home favourite Ahmad/Natsir and defending champion Fischer/Pedersen. WS, Yui Hashimoto (JPN) v Ratchanok Intanon (THA) H-2-H : 1-2 The world #35 and 25 y.o. Hashimoto steals the limelight here as she defeated two big players en route to her first ever Super Series final, Carolina Marin (R/32) and Wang Yihan (semifinal), all in rubber games. In contrary former world champion Intanon has pretty comfortable run, finished off her four previous matches by straight-sets winning including world #7 Wang Shixian yesterday. The Thai prodigy is favour to crown WS title but never give up Japanese may produce big upset once again. MS, Kento Momota (JPN) v Jan O Jorgensen (DEN) H-2-H : 1-3 The Danish #1 once again has Japanese opponent here after Kenichi Tago last year and Jorgensen has slight advantage to defend his title to redeem his final defeat in All England last March. Second final SS for talented Momota after Singapore Open, a bright future to this young man who will turn 21 years old in next September, he has been mature in mental strength that he showed yesterday against Kashyap, in the brink of losing he still fought till the end. WD, Tang Jinhua/Tian Qing (CHN) v Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii (INA) H-2-H : 1-0 It's really tough to beat three Chinese pairs in a row but nothing impossible to do this feat. With full house supporter, the Indonesia pair is expected to deliver the only title for host but China WD as usual have powerful skill and stamina. Tang/Tian defetead them last week in Sydney and revenge in the air for Maheswari/Polii. MD, Ko Sung Hyun/Shin Baek Cheol (KOR) v Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan (CHN) H-2-H : 0-1 Third SS final for Fu/Zhang in this year after All England and Singapore Open and today they will up against none but reigning World Champion Ko SH/Shin BC. Equivalent in terms of skill and ability for both pairs and this final duel should be close contest, let's see whether the Korean will score triumphant again after sensational victory in Copenhagen.
I already posted this in the other thread. Players that I wanted to win tomorrow: MS: JOJ - but I think Momota will win. WS: RI - she deserves to win after beating the queen in convincing manner. MD: Fu/Zhang - I'm afraid they are going to lose, Zhang played a total of 2 hours and 10 minutes yesterday, Koreans played only 48 minutes they are lucky. WD: Tang/Tian XD: Xu/Ma - but they will probably be destroyed by Zhang/Zhao.
I hope JOJ plays to his best and take the title. I don't have anything against Momota. But still i like JOJ to take the title than Momota. Yui Hashimoto has got a bigger opportunity today to take the title. Hope she does it. (Nothing against Ratchanok. She is a class player. Yui hashimoto played a brilliant tournament so far, winning so many very good players to reach final. My heart goes to her) Xu chen/ma jin , my wish for them to go for the title. Nithya /Greysi , hope they fullfill their country's dreams to get the title. FU/Zhang, hope they overcome the final difficulty to win their first title. They deserve it.
Once again its proven, competition in WS is getting more challenging than it used to be, we simply couldnt predict who is going to win the title in each tourney.. No one really dominating but i think Carolina, Ratchanok are currently the strongest WS players .
You don't know the rules? . If somebody gives walkover to their compatriot, both will not get ranking points for that tournament. Hence they might play some other trick to avoid that situation ( i mean, not playing to their full potential instead just showing up)
[MENTION=119467]opruh[/MENTION] I also still can't get over Lin Dan, Shixian, Saina, and now Kashyap. Shixian was physically and mentally drained after her match with Saina. The girls gave every ounce of their energy and were left sapped, like two champion bulls fighting each other. Saina would have also lost to RI because of the same reason. Kashyap has inner demons which only he can conquer. No other top 15 player has such a major problem with mental frailties as Kashyap. One positive, he never gives up and wants to keep trying. Painful lessons are learned in defeat. They will have 2 months to reflect, train hard and come back strong. I remain hopeful that they will give a good account of themselves at the World Championship. They still have the hunger and desire to win!
I guess the winner is Lee Chong Wei... hahahaha.. I am his fan for WD.. off course Greysia/Nitya,, XD Zhang/Zhao,, MS JOJ,, MD FHF/Zhang,, WS Ratchanok..@_@ Let's see..
Your prediction for XD is already wrong, you can edit it with XC/MJ retiring, there's still some time left.
Yes, especially Kashyap he was two points away from winning the match and I was rooting for him so hard, suddenly it was 5 straight points for Momota to steal it, I'm hoping all four of them will have great performance for the coming world championships.
Yes, the queen collapsed in the second game, then Momota coming from behind to win, then I heard Zwiebler retired yesterday. All the 3 players I rooted did not make it to the finals. At least Shixian can relax for now, she still have a day to go shopping in Jakarta.
