Conspiracy theory Unless Boa beat Xia or the game go into rubber else everythig is conspiracy. My conspiracy theory, Xia beat Boa 15-10,15-10
Why Xia, Kwun? Is it becuz u think he has higher chance of beating WCH? Or just because he's a veteran on the team and deserves a spot in WC finals? Or something else? Personally, I just hope the better Chinese shuttler wins, whoever that may be. Go China.
Re: Conspiracy theory But by doing so, you are downgrading Xia's own ability. Ie.. "Oh yeah, Bao LET him win." Xia is a very good player with extreme attacks and is capable of winning anything. If he wins, then a large portion of that victory can be attributed to his own skillz and determination, and not by some evildoing from Li Yong Bo.
coz he is my fav MS player. that's about it. that's why i said my heart instead of my head. heck, i just got up, my head is still in bed anyway. and Xia does have a good record against Wong. but some of those "records" are questionable...
Re: Conspiracy theory Han, Bao got one additional point in the first set. 1st game won by Xia Xuanze 15-11
I'm just thinking about this again: Is anybody still dissappointed in Chen Hong's abyssmal showing against Shon? I can't help but think that MS COULD have been all-China affair. Sigh.
Now let's guess how long will the match goes. It's 27 minutes now. I am predicting it to end in about 45 minutes.
Xia is the chosen one Why Xia? Because Xia has perfect record over Choon Hann which is important in psychological point of view, of course it doesn't guarantee a win. Boa is more talented but may be too young to put him into the spot for final. We are not saying Xia is not a good player except speculating Xia is given a green light to advance by ... Anyway, Choon Hann need to earn his title regardless who he is facing, Xia or Bao, and it will be a dog fight.
My thinking is that, since Xia is not an endurance/stamina player, he has a tendancy to tire out over long periods. And he was taken to a 100+(??) min match by Kenny J. So even if he's "allowed" to pass to finals, will he have enough energy to battle WCH, who I think had a much easier ride to the finals than both Xia and Bao???
