    I certainly hope so. :)
    But Wu YY is no easy meat, has beaten the likes of Ong EH before (during his peak times).

    All my predicted final four (Chen Hong, Sony, Lin, Bao) managed to survive on the day one. I keep my finger crossed.

    Chen Yu seems always to have problem to play whoever he first meets. I, personally think, he is very powerful and extremely fast, but he just doesn’t have the ability to control the change. If he plays longer enough with anyone, he can dominate. But if someone new, or someone change a little bit, Chen Yu will be easily got confused and not know how to play.

    Wu Yun Yong is very skillful, but he doesn’t have enough heavy weapons, as most other Chinese players have, to deal with top players. So it is really difficult for him to beat Lee Chong Wei.

    Chen Yu beat Lee HI convincingly a week ago at Singapore open, while Lee HI beat Lee Chong Wei a week ago at Singapore open. So there should not be difficult for Chen Yu to beat Chong Wei theoretically. But unfortunately, the transition law just doesn’t apply here. That’s reason we are here to predict the unpredictable, and we also need to calm down to expect the unexpectable.

    Hmm... perhaps what Malaysia could do in next year's TC (assuming Chen Yu managed to move up the ranks to no 2 or no 3) is to train up internationally little-known youngsters like Yeoh KB or Kuan BH and let them face Chen Yu. Lee TS is an "outdated" weapon by now!:D

    Couple questions guys/gals....

    In Malaysia, how one become a National Champion? Does one have to play with International players like Hafiz, Lee TS ....? If he does, Lee CW is something else...
    For him to beat Chen Yu is not easy task either... I think by taking over Wong CH place on the draw definitely helps. At least he doesn't have to play with some top seed player.

    Also, can someone describe Lee CW? Left/Right hander, Offensive/Defensive/all around...etc.

    How about Wu YY? What type of player is him?

    My prediction:

    Semi's:
    Chen H vs Sony K
    Shon SM vs Taufik H

    Actually, anybody can beat anybody on quarters. Tough prediction...even the last 16... If I'm at the stadium, I don't think I can sleep after watching the games...

    Yes. I totally agree. Introduce 2 unknows, keep Wong Choon Hann, Hafiz and Lee TS. If they still include Roslin, then it is a waste of space.
    Roslin cannot perform in big events and with his ultra defensive style, it is like a mouse running about just waiting to be squashed by a giant.

    Malaysia practises the World GP Finals (which has been scrapped 2 years back) format as their national championship. Top 16 qualifiers determined thru points gained in national circuit tournaments. So, it's basically a competition between the national players.

    However, some arrogant "professional" players has the knack of skipping the local circuits which eventually resulted them in missing a place in the National GP Finals. These players often cited their professional commitment to the world circuits, where on the other hands, staging badminton clinics here and there to promote their professional clubs and sponsors.:mad:

    Here's my picks for tomorrow's MS:

    Chen Hong vs Roslin Hashim --> Chen
    Ronald Susilo vs Hafiz Hashim --> Hafiz
    Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs Lee HI --> Sony
    Ng Wei vs Boonsak Polsana --> Ng
    Lin Dan vs Shon SM --> Lin
    Wu YY vs Lee CW --> Wu (although Lee did bt. Chen Yu today)
    Bao CL vs Taufik Hidayat --> Bao (Taufik will still be nervous when he
    remembers his last heavy thrashing by Bao
    at WC '03, even if he has mass crowd on him.
    Lee TS vs Agus Hariyanto --> Lee


    Semi-final predictions (more like hopes)

    Chen H. vs.Ng Wei (okay, so he is a small chance, and will likely will be Sony here)
    Lin vs. Bao

    Out of 44 ina players, only 1 is qualified for the main draw.

    how do you get this info?

    i dont think this is true ...

    even if it is true, most the the qualifiers are not in the national team ... mostly they are the club players.

    Basically what you saying is Lee CW title cannot really justify his capability of becoming a future star. I think BAM should force those "professional" players to play on the local National GP. That way they won't be too arrogant if they can't even beat the rookies. Also, this will help the youngster gaining confidence.

    Lee Chong Wei bt Chen Yu

    I arrived at the office and opened up the sports pages of the news and there it read : "Big win for Chong Wei". I read and read and it took me by surprise, he beat Chen Yu! Marvellous!

    p/s - It'd be nice if it had been Chen Hong instead of Chen Yu ... :D

    Head2head (Accordng to IBF)

    Chen Hong vs Roslin Hashim --> 7:1 in favour of Chen ******
    Ronald Susilo vs Hafiz Hashim --> 2:0 in favour of Susilo **
    Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs Lee HI --> 0:0
    Ng Wei vs Boonsak Polsana --> 1:2 in favour of Polsana *
    Lin Dan vs Shon SM --> 5:0 in favour of Lin *****
    Wu YY vs Lee CW --> 1:0 in favour of Wu * (calm down? we should keep the integrity of the data!)
    Bao CL vs Taufik Hidayat --> 2:1 in favour of Bao *
    Lee TS vs Agus Hariyanto --> 0:0

    So if history repeats, Chen Hong, Lin Dan(both have huge advantage in h2h), Susilo, Bao Chun Lai, and Wu Yun Yong should advance.

    Roslin is out. Lost in straight sets to CH. Why am I not the least bit surprised?

    This is uncomfirmed. But I think Taufik has beaten Bao. Score still unclear.
