Rumor: the podium for MD champ will be modified. There will be enough space for 3 people, for the winning pair and for Li Gen.
Some CHN pairs have withdrawn : Bao Yixin/Zhong Qianxin, Ma Jin/Tang Jinhua, Liu Xiaolong/Qiu Zihan, etc. M/Q Report version 2 (updated 9th November-12) : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=414879&tid=1 Seeding Report version 1 (updated 9th November-12) : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=414880&tid=1
LCW Withdrawal is unacceptable I have sympathy to the Organizer, sponsors and fans who have bought the ticket. He didn't even give a reason publicly and apologize for his irresponsible, unprofessional conduct. We all know the reason but is a poor one. If he knows that he has no much time to prepare for the tournament, he shouldn't enter at the first place. Lame, that is the only word I can use to describe him as professional. He would have played if he win the HK Open right ! If is a Tennis circuit tournament, would you think he can get away without explain and pay the penalty ?
He will have to pay penalty. Explaination, Rashid Sidek already explained, it's to prepare for SS Finals.
yes i have 0 respect to those who dont want to play in tournament. especially someone who leave for 6 months
