My predictions: XD: Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter Juhl (DEN) - Joachim Fischer Nielsen /Christina Pedersen (DEN) - I agree with abedeng, the unseeded pair has been impressive these two weeks. WS: Lin Wang (CHN) -Mi Zhou (HKG) - I thought the Chinese youngster has a chance. MD: Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan (INA) - Haifeng Fu/YeShen (CHN) - If the world and olympic champions do not have a bad day, they can win it. MS: Joachim Persson (DEN) - Peter Hoeg Gade (DEN) - Everyone expects the veteran to win. WD: Eei Hui Chin/Pei Tty Wong (MAS) - Rani Mundiasti/Jo Novita (INA) - These gals have been impressive so far but are obviously underrated by many. If they play their normal game, they should win their first SS title.
let's see Mas gal the 3rd WD final in Thailand R1 v Taruno n Nakahara JPN 21-9 21-10 R2 v Liu n Chang TPE 21-17 21-14 QF v Roepe n Nielsen DEN 21-15 14-21 21-11 SF v Jiang n Li SIN 21-14 21-14 F v Yang n Zhang CHN 21-15 13-21 13-21
in Dutch 2005 and Mas gal is seed one R1 Bye R2 v Brenda n Judith NED 15-12 17-14 QF v Kamila n Nadiezda POL 17-6 15-5 SF v Aki n Tomimi JPN 15-7 15-11 F v Mia n Lotte 9-15 10-15
ok let see XD: Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter Juhl (DEN) vs Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christina Pederson (DEN) : 60-40 MD : Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan (INA) vs Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye (CHN) : 60-40 Despite i'm a CHN fan and always hope the best for them..but lets be subjective...it is too hard for FHF/SY to take on the hot INA pair right now..but lets hope they could give a good and hard fight to the WR # 1 and the Olympic champions (Like the british artist,Cate Blanchett quote that "if u know that u're going to fail..then fail gloriously..") WS : Wang Lin (CHN) vs Zhou Mi (HKG) : 50-50 WL should get motivation to get payback for her latest defeat in CM SS..but ZM is also in her good peak right now..so, a rubber game is possible to happen MS : Peter Gade (DEN) vs Joachim Persson (DEN) : 60-40 PG should be able to take on his junior and get (perhaps) his last SS title WD : Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui (MAS) vs Jo Novita/Rani Mundiasti (INA) : 60-40 The fact that these MAS pair can beat #1 INA WD in JO last month...then they should be able to win this match All the best for the 2 CHN representative... Jia you!
My prediction Thomas and jhul vs joachim and pandersen = 40 - 60 Wang lin vs zhou mi = 40 - 60 Peter gade vs joachim person = 45 - 55 Wong pei tty and chin eei hui vs rani mundiasti and jo novita = 10 - 90 Markis kido and hendra setiawan vs fu haifeng dan sen ye = 90 - 10.
How old are Joachim & Christinne? Sigh... I hope Kido/Hendra & Jo/Rani can win their matches, to make me happy, the disappointment made by our juniors in Pune...
