There's no a pair which is very outstanding, we only have 3 world class pairs, including Cai/Fu, and the career of the rest two are going into their sunset, Eriksen/Lungaard and Tony/Chandra. (but tony/chandra is still my favourite) about other world class pairs not taking part, only CCM/KKK, LWW/CTF, Kido/Hendra... I hope malaysian pairs can take this golden opportunity to win something in JO and CO (with no super outstanding indonesian and korean pairs as past times)
I'm looking forward for Gan Teik Chai/Zakry Abdul Latif to put up a good fight against Cai/Fu tomorrow, or.... perhaps even create an upset? KKK/TBH will meet Jens Eriksen/Lundgaard. Let's see how they perform.
Mind you, They will be the ultimate partnership to win honours for malaysia according to Rexy or YKH. Good to have a first look at them.
CCM will only join China Open. By the way, CTF/LWW don't participate in Japan open. Their only tournament before DOha is China Open.
