Quite shocking to see Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun and He Hanbin/Yu Yang beaten in the SF. However, I am pleased that Sony Dwi Kuncoro proved me wrong by beating Bao Chunlai for the second time in a row. Now, he will have a chance to win back-to-back Super Series titles tomorrow against Chen Jin. So, it will be: Chen Jin [4] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen [3] Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Sun Junjie/Xu Chen
Err...possible trap???? Maybe Fu/Cai are not in a good form, after the long rest, just like Kido/Hendra were beaten by Rian/Yoke last week. However, it should be a tricky match. Kido/Hendra need to be alert and I think the chances of winning another title in China should be pretty good.
Close shave, eh??.. ..i can imagine some BCers turned into nervous-nellies, eh, when the CHN pair was on the brink of winning the 2nd game??..it would be a "trap", in a sense, that everyone (if not most) would be expecting the current OG champions to cruise all the way, only to see them fall to the surprising & much lower-ranked CHN's MD pair (can attribute to CHN pair playing loosey-goosey/no pressure, unknown to INA pair & playing @ home)
