    Comparing last worldchampionships, China lost men's single title this time, kept the ladies double, and reclaimed ladies' single and mixed double titles. Plus the Sudirman Cup, they now have 4 titles.

    Danes may swap the lady's title for the men's. That's a pretty good bargain. Having so much inconsistancy during the past few months, Peter Gade is still the most consistant player on the men's side.

    The aging Korean doubles are still shining, but definitely not as bright as last time. Anyhow, they could still keep the men's double title.

    The most improved team award should go to Indonesia. Last time, there was NO any Indonesian passed the 3rd round at any category. Now, they have two in the finals. It might be still difficult to take any one of these two. But having a chance to fight for it in the final already an unbelievable improvement for those Indonesian.

    Should be an interesting match to watch, Gade versus Hendrawan.Has Gade evr lost to Hendrawan before?

    Well anything can happen between between two seasoned masters,strategy being the key.This should be a match to remember,as close as the last Sudirman when Gade faced Sun Jun.Unfortunately Hendrawan starts with a handicap.

    Hendrawan beat Gade in the Konica cup ?98

    Is the stress of this World Title greater than the stress of the Thomas cup last year.
    Can Peter calm his jitters. I thought he might be able to control his play now but had a serious wobble against Chen Hong in the Sudirman cup. If not for that, I would have favoured Peter for the title.
