    My Pick:

    MS: Lin Dan
    WS: Zhang Ning
    MS: Cai/Fu
    WS: Gao/Huang
    MX: Gao/Zhang

    I know it's a lot to ask, but hey, at least all of them are among the top three favorite in their own category.:cool:

    Can Lin Dan perform up to the mark? I hated the way he lost the 3rd game against LCW. At this level, you don't give opponents 7 points in a row from 8-9 to 15-9.

    Some forummers measure against AE, which I think is inaccurate. All players get a chance every year to win AE, and qualification restrictions don't apply such as for Olympics/World Championships.

    A clean sweep for China team!:eek: Li YB (China) will love it.
    Just a joke. I know they have the capacity to make thing happen too.
    But they need some luck as well.:rolleyes:

    Hey! Thought you are from China, don't you have to support China instead of
    Indonesia ?

    Anyway, I hope to see LinDan & Taufik meet in the final, coz I have never seen
    their head to head match.

    God knows, there is a surprise that Lee Chung Wei will be in the final against either one of them. If he is with Taufit, I really don't know who should I support....:confused:

    Yup, you may dream, but your dream maybe rather unrelistic, don't you ?
    Principally I agree with you, but technically I doubt this winner list will be materialized.

    I only have hope in the MS, if Lee Chong Wei can perform even better than My'sia Open, leading him to the final.His " not giving up " spirit is fabulous !!!:D
    but skill wise if far beyond LinDan & Taufik.

    Our My'sia MD hopefully can go in semi- final !

    As I see it Taufik and Lin Dan are very different in gameplay and style. Both plays an attacking minded game, but where Taufik uses his superb technical skills with close net shots and power smashes, Lin Dan forces his opponent to run around on court and finish them off with speed and smashes. Lin is faster and has more stamina than Taufik, but Taufik has an edge in technical skill. I Would rate Hafiz as a player near Taufik, both very inconsistent and with superior strokes. Gade is more similar to Lin Dan, but with age has lost a little speed, Gade on the other side has in my opinion almost the same technical skills as Taufik. Heres my list on the 8 seeded players technic, skills, stamina and mental str.... Of course everybody has good stamina also Taufik and Gade even if they are rated 7 and 8, they played 96 minutes. its quite funny that 5-6 out of these 8 suffers from lack of mental str which has been seen on big events as the WC, TC and Olympics

    Skills. speed. Stamina. Mental strengh
    1) Taufik 1) Lin Dan 1) KJ 1) LCW
    2) Gade 2) LCW 2) Lin Dan 2) Lin Dan
    3) Hafiz 3) Gade 3) Chen Hong 3) KJ
    4) Chen Hong 4) Chen Hong 4) LCW 4)Hafiz
    5) Bao 5) Taufik 5) Bao 5)Taufik
    6) Lin Dan 6) Bao 6) Gade 6) Chen Hong
    7) KJ 7) Hafiz 7) Hafiz 7) Gade
    8) LCW 8) KJ 8) Taufik 8) Bao

    If LCW can perfrom well in malaysia, that means he IS capable of performing well in anyweher else, it's just a mental thing.
