The most-awaited "duel"

[indra]

Regardless which team will win the TC, what duel will be the most-awaited in the TC 2006? and why?

[weeyet]

no other than Malaysia vs Indonesia

[tino4]

TH vs LD
why?
it's not so often to see them playing...
reigning olympic champ / world champ vs world no 1...

[weeyet]

or maybe Wong Choong Hann vs Xia Xuanze, Taufik vs Lin Dan/Lee Chong Wei

[tutu_h]

Peter Gade vs LCW - they only met twice n i missed both matches. No video found online so far.

Lin Dan vs TH - The Great wall for Lin to cross.

J.Eriksen/M.Lungaard vs C.Wijaya/S.Budiarto - the repeat of China Open 2005

[fishnet wen*yi]

definitely malaysia vs. indonesia. old rivals mar.... the doubles would be really exciting. denmark vs. china would be nice too. especially after witnessing the China Masters. i think this yr's thomas cup would be more interesting...

Definately Taufik vs Peter in this new scoring system. I actually think PG may have the upper hand now as the new system favours his playing style.

but it was PG who dissed the 21 rally pt. system

There are a lot of awaited duels especially after the recent China Master.

1.) Indonesia Vs. China
Indonesia has lost to China four times since the last Thomas cup (2 in Thomas Cup and 2 in Sudirman Cup). This will be a thrilling showdown.

2.) Indonesia Vs. Malaysia
Indonesia will be itching to avenge their loss in the qualifier. These two teams have been battling for supremacy in Southeast Asia (or even World) since the beginning of Thomas Cup. It will be fun to watch as well.

3.) Taufik Hidayat Vs. Lin Dan
Lin Dan may be called Super Dan, but all PRESTIGIOUS titles are in the hand of Taufik (Olympic and World Champion). Taufik is now already a legend for bethrothing both championship in the same period (2004 and 2005) while Lin Dan is just "another" Super Dan. He has won may titles, but not one that will put his name down in history. So, Lin Dan must be eager to prove that he is the best.

4.) Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto Vs. Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen
Battle of the giants and veterans. Legendary pairs who are still the best in the world despite their age. Since this is rumoured to be Candra/Sigit's last Thomas Cup, it will be the final showdown for them in the team event to find out who are the best pairs.

Can't think of anything else. Peter Gade Vs. Taufik or Peter Gade Vs. Lin Dan will be nice, but I think they lack the "juice" ;).

Last night I had a dream " Taufik Beat Lin Dan 21-18 and 21-15".:D :)

Is this a similar dream to the one where Simon Santoso beats Chen Jin in the SF and Lin Dan in the Final to win the German Open 06?

It will be very nice if it comes true. If I'm not mistaken, Taufik has never met Lin Dan in the new scoring system, has he? That will be good to watch how Taufik deal with his dislike.

[imazombie]

how about this one: NZ vs Germany
xD

01. Taufik vs. Lee Chong Wei
