From Hauge... LYD/LHJ withdrew from XD, but not LYD/JJS. For Saina, her passport is renewed on time, and her visa to M'sia is still valid, that's why she's here.
wo...interesting draw....especially md group b...haha...n btw ppl say Lim Khim wah/ Wong Pei tty withdrawn...bt y their name still on??
Who did you draw? Tell us the fun part about drawing. And was I wrong. There's no country separation at all.
Yes, MD group B is the 'group of death'... An equivalent of Argentina-Portugal-Spain-Mexico all in one group in the Football World Cup.. I actually like the fact that many INA players/pairs are in one group. That way, they do not have to eliminate one another in the SF... [if they both eventualy qualify to the SF from the group, of course, ha ha ha!]
I think Sony Dwi Kuncoro can win the top spot in Group B and will play either Lee Chong Wei or Peter Gade in the SF. If Taufik Hidayat can beat Joachim Persson, he can qualify for SF too. In the MD, it's a tough group for Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan. Pitted against the emerging Danish pair of Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen and veteran pair Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya, plus one arch-rival in Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong. Depending on Kido's form, I think a SF spot should be safe enough for Kido/Hendra. In the WD, Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir should have no problem reaching the SF, while Jo Novita/Greysia Polii can also beat Kamilla Rytter-Juhl/Lena Frier-Kristensen to earn their spot in the SF as well. In the XD, both Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir and Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa should qualify for SF.
agree! too hurt to see ina's pair to eliminate each other on semi and final. lol.. blair/imogen defeated flandy/vita in england 08 with straight set.
