So far, Taufik has expectedly lost to Lin Dan, while Rizal/Greysia also lost to the more experienced Clark/Kellogg. Rian/Eng Hian also battled hard before they succumbed to Paaske/Rasmussen. Sony justified PBSI's decision to send him here after another victory over a Malaysian player...this time round Lee Tsuen Tseng in a rubber set. He will face Chen Hong next. The most disappointing result is AG/Joko losing to Spitko/Fuchs in a close rubber set Luluk/Alvent performed well in beating Hwang/Cho in two straight sets. As expected, they face Kido/Hendra who struggled a bit to beat Shen/He 21-15, 21-17 Luluk/Alvent could win tomorrow if Kido/Hendra are not in their top form yet Good perfomances by the WD (for a change). INA will have a pair in the QF while, Greysia/Vita made an impressive debut, trouncing the arch-rival Wong/Chin in 3 hard-fought sets. They are facing Frier-Kristensen/Rytter-Juhl in a match that they absolutely can win. In the XD, Flandy/Vita also impressed in their 3-sets win over Lee/Hwang. They will have another gruelling match against Sudket/Saralee tomorrow.
Choong/Lee lost to a young Danish pair Mollyhus/Kristiansen in rubber-sets At this rate, they will face sackings from BAM The polish pair Logosz/Mateusiak also takes the first set against Eriksen/Hansen 21-19 .

I am in SG now.....still going to travel around...after having been to Auckland, Taipei, Seoul and back from Chicago. Might be travelling to SBY for the weekend, return back to HKG on Monday for the onward trip to Melbourne Aussie Open....here I come next week!

MD problems is not only China problem, but all other countries too. Lets see: Very good MD from each country: China : Cai/Fu (still young, about 25/27) Indonesia : Hendra /Markis ( I can't put Luluk/Alven and Joko/Agus cause they are not consistently very good yet.) Malaysia: So far only KKK/ TBH is the most promising pairs. Denmark: None. Jens/Martin are old now and probably can only play for 1-2 years. Lars/Jonas never achieve their best form when they won WC2005. Korea: None. Jung Jae Sung/ Lee Yong Dae still pretty not consistent. To sum up, only 2 pair MD now in the world who play very consistent and young enough to play for more than 2 years from now. They are: Cai/Fu and Markis/Hendra. We had to wait and see how KKK/TBH play this whole year. One side notes: another very strong MD: Chandra/Tony. But they are also not young anymore and they cannot play any team or olympic events. So not only China had MD issue but all other countries too.
