If Im not mistaken, these will aslo determine the seedings for the WC 2005 in USA..

wow, candra/sigit,,,theyre now world no2, cant believe it, its so,,,fast, i mean, they first played again in last year's china open, which was late 2004, and since then they have earned 4 titles, and almost topple the ranking? unbelievable

wonder when we will know the draw result

Candra/Sigit have actually played together since April 2001, although they had a brief split during that time, they are one of the senior indonesian pairs..

wonder when we will know the draw result

the WC official website seems inefficient :rolleyes:

Based on their recent performance, they should be regarded as one of the top title contenders in WC. Just wonder why all of a sudden they seem to rejuvenate.

Actually, make that 1997 ;). But I think aiyuuw was talking about when they got back 2gether.

lol, true
becos, if i was talking about their achievement since 97 (or 01) then them being world no 2 wouldnt be so impressive
but thanks anyway:D

wonder when we will know the draw result

Usually, the draw will be held within a week from the start of the tournament. Also, this is not the final ranking yet. There are a few minor tournaments before the WC and they may change one or two places, although not the top places.

I thought that the Singapore and Malaysian Opens were the last chances to get points for rankings? or do the 'A' grade tournaments count toward it aswell?

thanks for the explain:D

thanks for the explain:D

maybe sister only cares the draw result about taufik:cool:
just a joke:D

By the look of things, it looks like(likely match up in the Finals in bold):

MS:
barring any major injuries, winner between LinDan, BCL, LCW and Hafiz Hashim will play winner of KJonassen, Gade, Taufik and Chen Hong..
SF could be LinDan vs. LCW and Taufik vs. Chen Hong
The Final could be LinDan(avoiding Taufik before Final, but faces 3 tough opponents in QF and SF) vs. Taufik(avoiding BCL, LCW and LinDan before the Finals, only faces Gade most likely in the QF)..

WS:
barring any major injuries, it'll be between ZN and XXF, enough said..

WD:
barring any major injuries, it'll be between GL/HS vs. ZJW/YW, enough said..

MD:
barring any major injuries Candra/Sigit will avoid JE/MLH before the Finals, but they will play Cai/Fu most likely in the SF. Barring any upsets, Luluk/Alven will most likely meet the defending WC, LP/JR, most likely in the QF. And as i mentioned before in another thread, at least 1 Danish pair will go to the Finals. But it could be the two veteran pairs duking it out one last time in the Finals..

XD:
barring any major injuries, looks like NR/GE and Gao/Zhang are the favorites to be in the Finals. With NR/GE having an easier road. However, Gao/Zhang will meet the Thai pair in the QF. If the Indos can beat Nathan and Gail in the SF, they'll play for the title against either of the Chinese pairs. The Chinese pairs will have to play against a Thai pair and the Korean pair..

i expect taufik VS Lin Dan in the Final

i expect taufik VS Lin Dan in the Final

It could be Taufik v Lin Dan in the quarter-finals.

I thought that the Singapore and Malaysian Opens were the last chances to get points for rankings? or do the 'A' grade tournaments count toward it aswell?

'A' and 'B' tournaments also provide points but too little to matter for the higher-ranked players.

Lets hope Lee Choong Wei is in different bracket to Taufik and Lin Dan. Once Chong Wei manage to get into semi then anything can happen.

'A' and 'B' tournaments also provide points but too little to matter for the higher-ranked players.

but it could matter enough for players like LeeCW, Taufik, and BaoCL, since there are only 800 points difference between BaoCL (4th) and Taufik (6th), and the difference between 5th and 6th is only 200 odd points.

It could be Taufik v Lin Dan in the quarter-finals.
yeah, everything is possible now:(

yeah, everything is possible now:(

i agree...
but they meet in the final is an ideal result for us:cool:

i am back:p

true, taufik could move to second place if he wins 3 A graded tournaments (3x1800), but i guess he is confident of defeating most if not all the other players, so he isn't too bothered? and plus of course, there may not be that many A graded tournaments avaliable, or they maybe restrict against top rankinged players?

but it could matter enough for players like LeeCW, Taufik, and BaoCL, since there are only 800 points difference between BaoCL (4th) and Taufik (6th), and the difference between 5th and 6th is only 200 odd points.

For Lee and Bao, it won't matter because their 10th-best tournaments already garner more than 1800 points (which is the amount you get when you win an 'A' event).

It could matter for Taufik, because he only has 7 tournaments for this ranking. So, two 'A' wins will get him another 3600 points and he will catupult to 2nd place. But taking part in lesser tournaments can do much worse for him than being seeded 5-8. Anyway, whether you are ranked 1 or 8, it gets really tough in the QFinals onwards.

Furthermore, for people like Taufik, runner-up place is as good as losing in the first round. It's the title that matters. It's all or nothing. So, it doesn't matter whether he meets Lin Dan in the quarters. He wants to beat everyone.
