    Do not have to wait untill next WC.
    In one year, they might beat C/S.
    If C/S is still existing as a pair.

    Looking at their rate of improvement, they may just do it in the South-East Asia circuit later this month.

    In case no one has pointed out, it's Candra Widjaya.... not Chandra Widjaya!

    But I've to admit the Chinese pair looked very explosive indeed. They've got a bright future ahead of them if they keep progressing from here. Looks like China is going to dominate every discipline soon....

    Their MS, WS, WD and MXD are pretty strong. Now plus the 2 pairs of MDs....

    but what a fight. sounds like C&S wasn't playing too hard on the first game. but the come back by Cai/Fu at the 3rd game is where the real stuff is displayed.

    Zhang Ning is so on fire. beating Camilla 11-0 on 2nd set yesterday, and then beat Mia 11-0 on 2nd set today. how much you want to bet she will do the same to Gong tomorrow? from what we've read, she is moving like a lightning and i doubt Gong will be able to keep up with her.

    btw, any report on what happened in the GongRN/ZhouMi match? i expected ZhouMi to give a better fight. did she run out of gas again?

    Hi, I'm back again.:)

    How can Kwun watch the game live on TV in US???

    Zhang Ning is gonna take title at this rate. She's so good now at age 28!!!! It's quite amazing.

    Bao's making a comeback now.
