Korea Super Series Round 1 ======================== CHEN HONG VS HAFIZ AGAIN!!!! ROSLIN VS KENNETH J (This looks like a good 1st Round Match) LCW vs Boonsak --> Another Exciting Match!!! Lee TS vs Lee Hyun Iil Wahoo!!!!
Fair draw? Kido/Hendra against Luluk/Alvent in R16 for the second competition! Tony/Candra vs Fu/Cai in QF again!
Tough draw yet again for XD pairs. Nova/Butet against AG Gold-medallist Zheng Bo/Gao Ling in QF. Flandy/Vita against WC Champion Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms in R16. Rizal/Greysia against vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl also in R16.
Actually, Lin Dan is the bigger surprise because, for the first time since 2002, he's not avoiding Korea. Since winning in Busan, Taufik has been here twice: in 2004 and 2006. Simon isn't coming either. I hesitate before reading too much into Taufik's absence.
I would say I prefer KO draw than MO. At least malaysian MD will not fight against each other. I still don't get why CCM/HTH are skipping the qualifying round also in KO. But KKK/TBH don't.
Rian-Eng Hian had to play Anthony Clark - Robert Blair in the 1st round... There are about 4 Koreans in Maria Kristin's qualification section and almost no other Korean anywhere else in the qualification area...
it so not fair man even luluk said, "what the need to play overseas if you meet your freind. just play at Cipayung instead"
