i thought XXF is not going to be included in the squad? is this the final line up or what? p/s how come there's 4 pairs in the doubles category>??
if I am not mistaken, it a a new rule by BWF that each country can send 4 pairs of each double event instead of 3 pairs
It is a wise decision to include XXF instead of ZL. The only thing now lack in XXF is motivation. If she gains back her motivation, she is the favourite to win the WS.
True. But slow XXF is still good if she's motivated. The problem is she doesn't have the care anymore (as seen in S'pore SS). Probably since the famous "cook soup" statement and her loss to Zhang Ning in the Olympic final.
A bit surprised.. ..to see XXF's name in the list esp. after she revealed she won't be attending the upcoming WC.
XXF is not still good but still great. She can win any match if she can put everything into it. To win the WC, XXF must stop being a slow starter. She lost the OG gold in no small part due to her mysteriously giving the first game away in the semi-final. Shockingly, she was more energetic than the youngster LL in the third game. However, the damage was already done and she could not pull off the third game in the Final.
At Phase 2 of players/pairs confirmation, XXF is out of the entry list. But Phase 3/Final Deadline (June 22), seems CBA decided to drop Zhu Lin and confirm Xie Xingfang is in the entries.
Ms How come China only have 3 men's single? I was expecting Chen Long or Gong weije to be in it. Is it still possible for them to get in through qualification?
I wish they had given Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli more tournament mileage, would be interesting to see them in WC and taking over from Tian Qing/Pan Pan. I've seen MJ/WXL live twice in India and Korea. In Korea especially, they were really impressive. TQ/PP couldn't even beat semi-retired Gao Ling and Wei Yili.
Hi y'all, greetings from newbie here ,-) Hmmm, China's team line up seems so solid 'n strong, as always Could they whitewashed all their opponents and clean sweep all the WC titles? Yeah the probability is r8 there, just like the recent All England Given the fact they're superb in every discipline (Exception maybe slightly for MD, CY/FHF back-up still inconsistent 'n inexperienced) Hope the other contenders from INA, MAS, KOR, DEN, HK, ENG etc give a hard run for the money Let the best player/team win (^_^)/ Post Scriptum: Poor Zhu Lin, she couldn't be able to defend her title.... Hattrick WC title for Super Dan, anyone?
Yes 3rd times a charm is very likely for LD, until proven otherwise Maybe LCW, TH, PG, etc has another opinions? Due to recent rankings, which giant clash can occured as early as QF stage, I think MS*quite open and everybody's game It's all depends on DRAWING Hmm... maybe cute BCL &*CJ would cleared up the way for LD to set that hattrick record? Well, let's see what kind of scenario Mr. LYB will use then Upz, Seems like my wild imaginations goes out of control again Hehehe (^_^)b
