Taufik is rank 9 before the start of French Open. With the additional points from French Open, I think he will be in the top 6. The last 2 SS, unlikely many will be ahead of him. Kidho/Hendra, I think if they join the next 2 SS, they should qualify.
yes u rite TH rank no4 MK/HS rank no7 still no LD,CJ and LYD duet even LD qualified i dont see he will go there...
I've created thread to discuss who will be qualified for SS final. Just still two SS, it is quite interesting to guess. What do you think? You can continue in http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?91000-SS-Final-2010-Entry
Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the 2010 SS masters final be held in 2010 ? It's like holding the World Cup 2010 in 2011, what's with BWF's scheduling
That's the problem of having too many tounrmanets in a year. How do you fit a schedule which has already have one SS tounrmanet per month(not taking into account of WC, TC and etc)? And as if there's not enough, they are trying to have another one at the very end of the year! BWF's intention of having 3 SS in China and remain so after year 2011 continue to elude me and they did this at the expense of Swiss open(knowing that there are less tournaments in Europe). I wonder when they will consider cancelling one of the China SS(seeing that there's very little interest from the rest of the world to compete there this year). However, knowing that there's such big market in China, this is unlikely to happen.
China SS should really be combined into one and offer big prize money. That way it will be treated like a grand slam and prestigious.
I think because the tournament is not awarded point, so it always very hard to attract those very top players to participate. It is a pity and BWF should have done something to rectify this... http://badmintonclip.blogspot.com/
..for the first time, the SSMF will give World Ranking pts..but yes, in this case the CHN team hasn't shown much interest (last yr they only sent 3 players)..
