MS
have been waiting for this showdown for quite a while since we only saw a partial game in the HKO. this will probably be the talk of the finals. well, for me, my heart goes to LD, but the money goes to TH to win the finals.

WS
are we getting bored by typing only 5 letters i.e. XXF and ZN? :D
XXF should win the JO from ZN. of the times they played, XXF has won quite convincingly and expect her to continue that tomorrow.

MD
young vs old? sorry Malaysian fans, the TG/CW partnership will be too strong for the Malaysian pair. just look what they did to CY/FHF - they were decimated! :crying: :crying: :crying:

WD
this should be a close contest but money, and heart, goes to GL/HS

MXD
my new love for cutie Natsir (:) ) forces me to vote for NW/LN to take the title :D :o

yeah...i surely think like dat too..
MS --> it just like TH will win the game 4 dis time, but surely i support LD :p

MD -->sorry for them who support malaysia... i believe Tony/Candra could win the game against Malaysia...since they're the best pair that ever have...:D :p

XD --> i've got suprised too actually dat flandy/vita can reach the final, yet they're still new pair (i think)...n i think next time better vita pair up with flandy than vita with anggun... but of coz i still support my favourite mix double, nova/lilyana...:D

WS, WD --> i think for now, best women players is still dominated by china...since there're no other players can beat them, they're too strong ;)
For WS i vote for XXF, n for WD still my favourite players that is GaoLing/HuangSui...Jia You!!!:D :D

that can't be true. sigit/candra and candra/gunawan are all very attacking teams although they do love to defend. that's why the indonesian's are so successful in MD because they can counter attack so effecitively yet can still win a point from the back of the court.

cai/fu also play a style very similar to the indonesian's but they attack much more although they to can defend when need be(it's just not as good as the indo's).

the reason why i think the chinese pair lost so badly today was that they had a mental breakdown. i havent watched the game yet, but i dont think the indo's outskilled the chinese pair but i could totally be wrong.

Cai/Fu DOES NOT play like the Indons. The Indons esp like Candra/Tony/Halim/Sigit are excellent in defense and flat drives which is the weak spot for Cai/Fu. Cai/Fu r typical smashing machine which occasionally hv good shuttle placing, but its still not enough. While the Msian style r more similar to Indons esp since Rexy started coaching our MDs.

IIRC, actually no ..... Candra was paired with Sigit while Tony Gunawan with Halim Heryanto, as a back-up for Ricky/Rexy and Antonius/Denny (Olympics Gold and Bronze Medalists in 1996) .......
Candra/Sigit became World Champion in 1997, but during that time, Tony Gunawan/Halim Heryanto was not in their top performance ..... (Tony Gunawan/Halim Heryanto became World Champion later in 2001).

Later Sigit Budiarto got banned from IBF for 2 years due to doping case (I forget which tournament) from 1998 till 2000 (please correct me if I'm wrong), so Candra/Sigit has to be separated ....... Candra then paired with Tony Gunawan ..... and not bad coz they became AE 1998 runner-up, AE 1999 champion and Olympics 2000 Gold.

After Sigit returned, Candra and Sigit paired again and reach AE 2001 final, but then were beaten by Tony Gunawan/Halim Heryanto.
Candra/Sigit later become AE 2003 champ, 2 times runner-up in WC 2003 (in SF they beaten Fu/Cai but lost to Jonas Rasmussen/Lars Paarske in Final) and WC 2005 (lost to Tony Gunawan/Howard Bach) ...... Thomas Cup 2006 Japan was they last event, after that Candra retired from PBSI (his reason to make a way for other pairs), ....... Sigit paired with Limpele became Aviva 2006 champ.

But, Candra paired again with Tony Gunawan later in 2006 ........ actually I hope they could participate in last WC 2006 Madrid.

...hmm, the matches should start now....yah, i'm watching thru TVUPlayer also, but CCTV5 is showing some Sports News..:p
I have a hunch they'll broadcast @ 12:30 pm(CHN time/9:30 PST U.S. time) because perhaps they want to skip the XD event(as there are no CHN players competing??)...Anyone following the Finals and knows which event will start first-thx??..:confused: :rolleyes:
If so, then with a 2-hr time slot, i don't know if they'll show the MD Final or not...As the 2nd, 3rd and 4th events will involve a CHN player(s)...And MD could be the last event of the Final?!..:rolleyes: :p :(
