    Lin Dan awaits Lee Chong Wei in Changzhou
    By K.M. Boopathy


    World No 1 Lee Chong Wei and Olympic champion Lin Dan's rivalry will resume in the China Masters in Changzhou on Sept 23-28. Troubled pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong will also be desperate to revive their career.

    Chong Wei, the top seed, has a few tricky early matches against China's lesser known players, and providing he advances, is in line for an intriguing title showdown against Lin Dan.

    Lu Yi will be Chong Wei's first round opponent before the Malaysian comes up against China's junior shuttler Zhou Wenlong.

    However, Chong Wei is not expected to stumble against either one or against most probable quarter-final opponent Joachim Persson of Denmark.

    But Chong Wei's semi-final encounter will be a crucial test as he will most probably face China's Olympics bronze medallist Chen Jin.

    Should Chong Wei play Lin Dan in the final, it will be their fourth meeting this year with the latter securing a convincing victory in their last match-up when winning gold at the Beijing Olympics.

    Hafiz Hashim is the other Malaysian competing in the men's singles but faces a tough early match against Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat in the first round.

    Third seeds Kien Keat-Boon Heong, who received a bye in their opening match, have a tricky second round against China's Sun Junjie-Xu Chen before a possible showdown with either compatriots Razif Latif-Tan Wee Kiong or Indonesia's Rian Sukmawan-Yonathan Dasuki in the last eight.

    Survival will pit them against China's second seeds Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng and a win will be a massive boost for Kien Keat-Boon Heong who have yet to reach a final this year.

    Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan Tazari, the fourth seeds, will also be looking forward to a place in the semi-finals.

    They received a first-round bye, but will face Indonesian pair Hendra Gunawan-Joko Riyadi in the second round are expected to meet compatriots Chan Chong Ming-Chew Choon Eng or Khoo Chung Chiat-Tan Bin Shen, in the last eight.

    The semi-final will be tough as the winners will find Olympic champions Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia or China's Guo Zhendong-Xie Zhongbo awaiting them.

    In the women's singles, fourth seed Wong Mew Choo has a potentially dangerous second round match against world junior champion Wang Lin.

    Women's doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui can consider themselves lucky to gain direct entry into the quarter-finals after receiving a first-round bye.

    They play China's Pan Pan-Tian Qing and a win will pit them against Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang of China.

    2008 China Masters SS: HH vs TH in Round 1

    .
    :D:D:D Jagdpanther ... Mr. Yoyo vs TH is in Round 1. So we don't have to wait as long.

    Btw, I think TH should win it, if he has recovered fully from his DF.
