Interesting!.....well done...oyl928 But there is a mistake in the list of winner for MS..for Swiss Open...the winner accually is Chen Jin...instead of Simon Santoso...
Agree. TH will work his guts out just only for OG08. But OG08 points are not based on SS points.It's counted from SO07 onwards where BP is the big winner.
Yes, that's usually the case in big events like Olympic and World Championship, so Choon Hann shall win the title if he qualify

Wah this china open match will be ssuper interesting men any singaporean player in the draw ronald susilo kendrick lee???
Oh.. I was so much looking forward to seeing LCW play in both... but never mind... as long as he is in for the Final of the SS which is (hopefully) held in KL.
my day 1 predictions here: An unusually large amount of mouth watering matches litter the opening day of the China Open. Wang Chen vs. Saina Nehwal Both players put on unconvincing performances in the European circuit. Wang got eliminated by Malaysian Wong Mew Choo in the first round in Paris while the young Nehwal experienced a shock defeat in the hands of a lesser known opponent in the quarterfinals of the Vietnam Open. Wang's efficient and elegant footwork and her deceptive play will certainly put Nehwal in a difficult position. Although talented, Nehwal still lacks the grace and skill of the Chinese veterans. Given that Wang's prior injury will not affect her game, she should take this in 2 sets. Julia Meulendijk vs. Zhu Lin On paper the young Chinese appears to be a clear favorite for this match. However, world champion Zhu appears to be going through a slump in her career, with defeats to Chinese second stringer Lu Lan in Odsense and Ella Dhiel in Paris. Julia can be a lethal player at times, but this match will fall circumstantially; if Zhu is performing at her best, she will take this match in 2 sets. If however, she continues being inconsistent, she will break the home crowd's heart, and continue her horrendous run. full article here: The Badminton Blog - China Open Day 1 Predictions
Taufik skips China Super Series Bad news, Taufik decided to skip the China Open, he will join the team in Hong Kong. Got the news from Sina Sports http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2007-11-20/04143305785.shtml
My analysis: Men's Singles With the withdrawal of Olympic Champion Taufik Hidayat, the two clear favorites of the Men's Singles are top seed and World Champion Lin Dan and the second seeded Lee Chong Wei. Dark horses Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin will attempt to sneak in and steal the title, but I think ultimately the victor will be one of Lin or Lee. Lee has been in superb form lately, winning the French Open and displaying his newfound patient ala Morten Frost style of playing, which was his knee injury's blessing in disguise. On the other hand, Lin Dan has recorded a rare shock loss in the semifinals of the French Open to compatriot Bao Chunlai. However, Lin Dan has never been known to dwell excessively on a minor hiccup, and I believe he will be the main contender for his home ground title. Lee will do his best to upstage him, and the anticipated Lin vs. Lee finals could very well go either way. full article: The Badminton Blog - China Open Analysis
