INA Uber Cup team has to beat Thailand and finish top of group Y in order to avoid meeting China in QF. Thomas Cup, if INA top group B, possible to meet Malaysia in QF.
INA Uber team at the same group with THA, as i hope earlier . If INA manage to beat THA and top the group, sure INA will avoid strong team in QF and got brighter chance to qualify to SF . Assuming INA top the group, the opponent in QF will be India/MAS, SG, THA or HKG. And i see a good chance for INA to progress to SF and got a ticket to qualify to Thomas-Uber Cup final round in May (CMIIW). GO GO GO INA ladies!!!
I think It's the best possibility for INA Uber team as they are in the same group with Thailand,not Taiwan,Japan,and China
MAS Uber team is in the same group with India and CHN. CHN sure will qualify So, MAS need to beat India if want to qualify. My oppinion and prediction , just take it easy Tee Jing Yi - Saina Nehwal = 40-60 Wong/Chin - Jwalla/Aswhini = 48-52 Even match, hard to call. Wong/Chin still try to make a comeback, while Jwalla/Aswhini is incosistent. Lydia Cheah - Sindhu = 51-49 Still nyone games.. but Lydia beat Sindhu in MAS open 2012. Vivian/WKW - any of India WD#2 = 70-30 Sanatasah - Arundhati = 40-60 The key is on WD#1, who won it, will have a better chance.
i thought that luck is still on INA uber team, still can qualify to at least semifinal round at all team event since 2008-2010 , UC 2008(final), UC 2010(semifinal) , AG 2010(final)
correction... just see the schedule INA really need to top the group, as if failed, they will face CHN in QF. If INA top the group, will face India or MAS in QF. and facing JPN in SF. so, no bargain, INA shd top the group to avoid CHN in QF. come on INA ladies... BISA!!
And if they face CHN in QF, maybe INA Uber Team won't qualify to the final round for the 2nd time after 2006 T______T
i rate mas uc team have a higher chance to beat india than mas tc team to beat hong kong hehe just like what i said in 2010 asian games,and proven correct
My prediction Uber INA vs THA....this is very crucial match for INA team WS 1 : Lindaweny vs Ratchanok Inthanon : 40-60 (I don't think Linda can beat the 'anak ajaib') WD 1 : Greysia/Meiliana vs Duanganong/Kunchala : 55-45 (Hope Greysia's injury is fully healed) WS 2 : Firdasari vs Porntip : 48-52 (But I think Firda has chance to beat Porntip) WD 2 : Nitya/Anneke vs Saralee/Savitree : 55-45 (Nitya/Anneke is in top form ) WS 3 : Bellaetrix vs Sapsiree : 52-48 (will be a tight match ) But i don't mind if Febe will be field as WS 3 as she has good record against THA players
quick analysis for Thomas Cup. China will win against TPE for sure. they will likely face and beat Thailand in QF to qualify. which means TPE will face Japan in QF. winner will qualify. Malaysia vs. Korea. winner will face India in QF. winner of those will qualify. loser of Malaysia / Korea will face Indonesia. a much more difficult task. the losers of the QF will round robin to fight for the last spot. for Malaysia to qualify, they need to win against Korea or win against Indonesia. if they loses both, they need to win against TPE or Japan in the group match. neither of which are easy meat. but probably easier against TPE than Japan.
No way, Linda will be the 1st WS, she is ranked below Firdasari. she will be the 2nd WS against Porntip
