    Here's some interesting matches for tomorrow:

    MEN'S SINGLES

    Peter Gade vs Gong Weijie -- remember the upset win by Chen Jin in the Denmark Open three weeks ago? Peter again has a tricky tie against another upcoming star.

    Chen Yu vs Park Sung Hwan -- both players had reasonably good results last week, with Park reaching the quarter-final.

    Bao Chunlai vs Simon Santoso -- Simon yet again having no luck, being drawn against Bao in Round 2. Can he sneak an upset win?

    Chen Jin vs Xia Xuanze -- China's most promising young player vs former world champion, with the upcoming star holding a better head-to-head record, including a recent win at the Chinese National Games (15-7, 15-2 for Chen Jin). Chen could well win again tomorrow.


    WOMEN'S SINGLES

    Tracey Hallam vs Chen Li -- Tracey's first task against one of the many young Chinese players

    Lu Lan vs Xu Huaiwen -- A rematch of the first-round tie at Denmark Open. Can Lu get her revenge?

    Wang Yihan vs Pi Hongyan -- featuring yet another Chinese youngster

    MEN'S DOUBLES

    Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun vs Hoon Thien How/Tan Boon Heong -- the newly crowned Hong Kong Open winner facing last year's World Junior champion

    Thomas Laybourn/Peter Steffensen vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan -- matches between Indo and Denmark doubles pair could always go either way

    Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah vs Anthony Clark/Robert Blair -- the Brits pair created the biggest upset last week by beating Candra/Sigit in the second round

    Xie Zhongbo/Guo Zhendong vs Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen -- a rematch of last Saturday's semi-final in Hong Kong Open

    WOMEN'S DOUBLES

    Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing -- featuring last week's surprise semi-finalist and Taiwan's no 1 doubles pair (who also reached the quarter-final last week). The Taiwanese pair had a good record against Indonesia's former no 1 pair Jo/Lita

    MIXED DOUBLES

    Anggun Nugroho/Yunita Tetty vs Daniel Shirley/Sara Runesten-Petersen -- a tough tie for the Indonesia's no 2 pair against this year's WC bronze medallist

    Peter Gade is all fired up after the HK Open. He still remember well his loss to Lin Dan and there will be no way he loose to Gong Weijie. Peter is a jumping smash killer!

    Bao will have an easy win over Simon. My prediction is Bao will win in straight set! Lets cheer for Bao!

    The match between Chen Jin and Xia is going to be extremely interesting. I am not sure of Xuanze's form lately, chances still 50/50.
