Im expecting a multi-country match when now it's china vs china and china vs indonesia for semifinal now... If taufik fails, that would be an all chinese match China looks really far ahead of us...
TH experienced already at IO2004 where at SF he's surrounded by topgun CHN shuttlers. Eventually, he won the tournament againts Chen Hong. I hope, it will repeat the edition of Istora 2004 in Surabaya. Lets see.
Nonsense, you talked as though the kancil has no chance of escape and will surely be devoured by the harimau. This kancil of yours is different. Although relatively small in physical size compared to the harimau, it is very fast and has a lot of ideas and a good strategy to get the harimau into serious trouble without actually coming face to face. This kancil is on home ground and knows all the nooks and corners of the rough terrain. Whilst being chased closely by the harimau, the kancil sped through the thick undergrowth. When the harimau was just a hair's breadth away, the kancil suddenly jumped up into the air. The harimau was shocked and could not apply his brakes and in an instant found itself screeching into a deep ravine. The kancil sailed majestically over and landed safely on the other side. Now, pray tell me, who is the victor? The kancil or the harimau? Taufikist or BCL?
back then it was Lin Dan then Chen Hong... he has no problem with them at all... He is used to beating Chen Hong and can beat LD on good form.. As for Bao he struggles a bit... I hope he can do it this time
means bao won the match regardless of how tight the match was... who else got into SF? besides him n TH
Wow...thats a real close ending. Nevertheless, an improvement by Simon. Good for him and it bodes well for his future.
Thanks all for the updates...been behind, but i will be catching up to read all the posts for the QF round... Loh, nice analogy..
and for once again... u focused on LCW when noone mentioned bout him though.. so what if LCW did not get the World no.1 title?? i rather he would not be getting it if he is not convinced that he could hold the title for a period of time ...and yet to u, why cares that LCW could not handle the pressure of whatsoever to overcome LD's grip of the World no.1..... as far as we and im concerned....... i dont see any indonesian players rank in the top 5 from the IBF latest ranking list... so who's who cant handle the pressure for not being get into at least TOP 5......
Simple, because we all would like to see Malaysian flag on the top of the world, n lee chong wei obviously is the closest to it
i agree with u hara^kazuko, and also i want to see non china player to be # 1 player, the last non china player who became # 1 player is only taufik in 2001
I do not mind seeing a China player or Peter Gade or LCW become #1 player because they are all decent players with proper attitude.
Lee CW just ruined his chance 2 days ago. He still has chance next week at Singapore, since Lin Dan will not play there. (correct me if I'm wrong). From my observation, Chinese don't care about the #1 ranking at all, even though they occupy that position for a looooong time.
