Poor Chen Hong, two stubborn opponents in his group,I don't

think Chen Hong is going to do well in new system.

How come no one is singing praises about Gong Rui Na? She seems to be such a nice pleasant person off-court, not like what she is on court.

I think the 2 hour taped telecasts on Starsports from 8-12 August are for GP finals, not Indonesian Open.

YEAH! More badminton to watch... ha ha ha.

why not,chen hong did well in malaysian open with new format only to lose to rony in the semis.
i personally think he'll advance to semis in wgpf barring the unforeseen.
gong ruina is pleasant alright, one can see this during prize giving ceremony.i suppose she is slated to be china's no.1 singles in as near as the uber cup next year....

Let us just wait and see what happens in the WGP Finals. Take the M'sia Open and the Indon Open as good example.

Personally there is nothing wrong with Gong Ruina. It's just that when she is on court, its down to business. No play play. She look kinda fierce (sorry) when she play but off court she is as cute as GZC.

I think she could be the next Ye ZY. Or Maybe she will play as the first single in the next Uber Cup or better still take the WGP Finals title.

Say, did I miss something !!!

Lou Yigang ??? I thought he was force into retirement together with Sun Jun and the gang.

Do anyone think that Dai Yun could repeat what she did in the recent concluded WC ?

[Bbn]

Wonder why TV stations no longer do post match interviews, I

remember some very memorable ones given by Sun Jun, Ye

Zhao Ying,Xia Xuan Xe, Han Jian , Li Ling wei and Zhou Mi

and of course the usual stuff from Ong Ewe Hock,Yong Hock

kin , Wong Choon Han and Indra Gunawan .You could hardly

hear a word from Yang yang, Li Yong Bo but nowadays you

can hear Zhao Jian hua and Zhang Qing Wu talk for hours.

this is just nitpicking. but since this is the 2000 WGPF, shouldn't it be played in the 3x15 system? :)

[Bbn]

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, this will be the last GP

tournament, it will be scrapped like the World Cupnext year.

Is this really gonna be the last wgpf??? my goodness....
