View Full Version : Who will win Men's Double in WC2006? kwun 09-01-2006, 06:32 PM with the last GP event before the World Championships about to conclude, we have a good idea what the forms of each player are. let's see what everybody think will win the 2006 WC Men's Double title.... **KZ** 09-01-2006, 09:58 PM i hope malaysia will win....our pairs look strong now jug8man 09-01-2006, 10:04 PM C'mon CTF / LWW!!! Win something big for a good retirement and good post competative career!!! t3tsubo 09-01-2006, 10:33 PM FU-CAI! go china!! GAA YUOW!! suetyan 09-02-2006, 03:47 AM CTF and LWW !!! go go go !! vsdelfin 09-02-2006, 07:18 AM Its really hard to predict this one but I guess Eriksen would like to win the WC before retiring. They haven't been playing well recently but I think they still have the power and skills to win the WC cao ci dan 09-02-2006, 08:43 AM Fu/Cai are inconsistent...but they will win...or else KKK/CCM will make it.. Dreamzz 09-02-2006, 09:23 AM i'm going for ccm/kkk, for obvious patriotic reasons! :D m_poppema 09-02-2006, 10:03 AM Obvious that no-one has chosen Michal Logosz / Robert Pateusiak (POL) yet.. Who is mr. Pateusiak ;) His name is actually Robert Mateusiak!! 2cents 09-02-2006, 07:47 PM sigh, many better pairs rest at home... GunBlade008 09-02-2006, 11:24 PM gotta say fu/cai due to absence of Candra/tony and inconsistancy of sigit/limpele chibe_K 09-03-2006, 12:14 AM I voted for fu/cai even though I like other pair to win.....I just have to face the reality WC is a 7 stars event and only few in the list have the potential to shine in a 7 stars tournament. **KZ** 09-03-2006, 12:52 AM Fu/Cai to win?....well....i seriously think that if they meet any Malaysian pair in their half of the draw....they're in trouble....they always have trouble beating Malaysian pairs....not just the top pairs put the less known pairings like Fairuzizuan/Woon Fui and even Hoon/Tan.... z3048018 09-03-2006, 04:55 AM Jens / Martin combination will beat CTF / LWW in the finals jasonmarc 09-03-2006, 07:49 AM Jens / Martin combination will beat CTF / LWW in the finals These two? how about Markis kido/Setiawan they were so good in yesterday HO final! I'll vote for them.....:D jasonmarc 09-03-2006, 07:55 AM Jens / Martin combination will beat CTF / LWW in the finals Please dont forget to include this pair --- Markis kido/setiawan they were so good in yesterday HO final! My vote for them....:p :D ;) jasonmarc 09-03-2006, 07:57 AM I think U should remove Luluk/Alven and replace them with Kido/Setiawan.... luyi80 09-03-2006, 10:47 AM CTF/LWW!!! Do something b4 retire... RRen1/26 09-03-2006, 11:24 AM Please dont forget to include this pair --- Markis kido/setiawan they were so good in yesterday HO final! My vote for them....:p :D ;) yupe, i agree wit u, big hope for them (kido/setiawan)....:) jamesd20 09-03-2006, 11:39 AM This is tricky CTF/LWW can't finish a big game off, CHN pairs play in a style that does not adhere to tight nervous games, DEN pairs recovering/ off form INA have two inconsistent pairs and Koreans are very young. I wouldn't be suprised to see a Korean pair win. Han 09-03-2006, 12:25 PM The top 8 teams all have equal chance of winning the title and since Malaysia have 3 teams representing and two of them are in top 4, so that makes the Malaysia the likely winner(even though against the history). My vote : Either Chang Chong Ming/Koo Kean Keat or Lee Wan Wah/Choong Tan Fok. General Foo 09-03-2006, 12:46 PM CAI YUN + FU HAI FENG ALL THE WAY cause im chinese YYEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAa :D :D :D Baderz_Jas 09-03-2006, 04:47 PM Same as General Foo, Cai Yun and Fu Hai Feng :D :D :D Go Go Go!!! iceberg 09-04-2006, 01:15 AM yup. kido/setiawan should be on the list.. red00ecstrat 09-04-2006, 01:39 AM Either Cai Yun / Fu Haifeng Or Jonas Rasmussen / Lars Paaske.:) indra 09-04-2006, 01:39 AM yupe, i agree wit u, big hope for them (kido/setiawan)....:) Kido / setiawan...> these young players are very, very strong!!!! I pick them:) hara^kazuko 09-04-2006, 06:15 AM Koo Kien Keat and Chan Chong Ming has great potential to win the WC! You'll never know Arun V 09-04-2006, 07:02 AM yup. kido/setiawan should be on the list.. I agree with u:) taufik-ist 09-05-2006, 06:59 AM i'll support kido/setiawan kido/setiawan is almost as fast as cai/fu Alaric 09-05-2006, 07:13 AM Well if they were allowed to compete I think Tony and Chandra would wipe the floor with everyone else, but seeing as they can't enter I think Cai and Fu will prove to be too strong and powerful for everyone else and will beat Eriksen and Lungaard in a very close final. Dreamzz 09-05-2006, 03:20 PM Well if they were allowed to compete I think Tony and Chandra would wipe the floor with everyone else, but seeing as they can't enter I think Cai and Fu will prove to be too strong and powerful for everyone else and will beat Eriksen and Lungaard in a very close final. well, you say that, but tony and candra just lost to cai yun and fu haifeng in the HK open ... i think it's their first loss this year since they won both the INA Open and the Korea Open ... chibe_K 09-05-2006, 07:22 PM Racquet in the hands of Fu/Cai is turning into a missiles launcher. They launch missiles to destroy their opponents. The only way to overcome them is to distract their focus so that they cannot aim.....like what Choong/Lee did at HO. pramilainc 09-06-2006, 02:51 AM Are they really playing ? Mogensen was injured and he didn't take part in any recent tournament. Also in the Final phase qualified list here http://www.internationalbadminton.org/worldchampionshipmain.asp Boe/Mogensen ACCEPT = NO. So I don't think they are really playing, sadly. kobe77sg 09-06-2006, 04:06 AM Iwill bet on markis kido/hendra. Please add this player in the vote Wong8Egg 09-06-2006, 12:56 PM Where are the Korean pairs??????????? chibe_K 09-06-2006, 01:10 PM Iwill bet on markis kido/hendra. Please add this player in the vote After watching HO finals, I feel this pair is young, quick, explosive but lack of experience compared to others. I am sure not far from future, they will become one of the top MDs but for WC2006, it might be too early for them. ye333 09-06-2006, 03:01 PM Tony/Candra seem to be playing worse and worse... In Indo open they controlled the games against Luluk/Alven and Kido/Setiawan; In KO they benefitted a lot form the Korean pair's unforced errors; And this game against Cai/Fu... Tony made so many simple errors, putting the shuttle long or wide, and Candra seemed a little bit slow. well, you say that, but tony and candra just lost to cai yun and fu haifeng in the HK open ... i think it's their first loss this year since they won both the INA Open and the Korea Open ... Erwin 09-06-2006, 03:02 PM I see Paaske/rasmussen in the Poll again. Does that mean they will be playing together again this tournament? I thought they only teamed up in case of emergency for the thomas cup... event 09-06-2006, 08:29 PM Where are the Korean pairs???????????Indeed. The absence of the world's #2 pair as a choice is puzzling. badMania 09-06-2006, 09:36 PM I see Paaske/rasmussen in the Poll again. Does that mean they will be playing together again this tournament? I thought they only teamed up in case of emergency for the thomas cup... They will compete as a pair (probably for the last time) at the upcoming WC. badMania 09-06-2006, 09:40 PM Although I am secretly hoping that one of the INA pair will win (probably Kido/Hendra based on form), it's almost unlikely they will do so. Therefore, I hope that Eriksen/Hansen or Choong/Lee will win the title. They are probably the two pairs that can beat Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun (apart from the other Malaysian pairs). However, it seems to me that while Fu/Cai has the phobia of losing to Malaysian pairs, the Malaysians themselves have the habit of losing to Koreans :cool: So, the Malaysian pairs better pray that they are not in the same half as Jung/Lee. As for Kido/Hendra, they have shown that they are not afraid of anyone...but they do have the tendency to lose to senior pairs like Choong/Lee and Tony/Candra. If they are drawn to meet Fu/Cai as soon as the quarter-final (and it's very likely), it will be a mouth-watering tie! xijiayu 09-07-2006, 01:43 AM I want to vote the korean pairs but they are not there. iamcharmaine 09-07-2006, 02:08 AM All the best for our Malaysian pair!! Do bring home Malaysia long awaited title!! Dreamzz 09-07-2006, 03:29 AM I want to vote the korean pairs but they are not there. ask kwun to add them in! :D hara^kazuko 09-07-2006, 05:47 AM Although I am secretly hoping that one of the INA pair will win (probably Kido/Hendra based on form), it's almost unlikely they will do so.

Now, the Malaysian number one pair might have to pray hard so they will not meet the top indonesian n korean pair too soon by the way, aren't Lee Yong Dae and Jung Jae Song competing in the WC? titaniumsp77 09-08-2006, 03:56 AM An open chances for the top 10 pairs.I can't see any clear favourites.CY-FHF doesn't play well against Malaysian pairs.The Malaysian pairs do not fair well against Danish pairs.The are lots more ............. hara^kazuko 09-08-2006, 04:00 AM An open chances for the top 10 pairs.I can't see any clear favourites.CY-FHF doesn't play well against Malaysian pairs.The Malaysian pairs do not fair well against Danish pairs.The are lots more .............

Dont discount Denmarks pairs..they tend to play well in Europe...I wont be surprised if they upset many seeded pairs... Hmm, i have to concur also. The main reason for them not winning the WC this yr is basically experience. The WC is a totally different competition stage. And i'm afraid their lack of "big-stage" experience will undo them. However, yah, i agree with the comment that a SF encounter with Fu/Cai will be quite tantalizing. I would say a Semifinal appearance by the young INA pair is already quite an accomplishment..;) :cool: Last, i also tend to concur that a European pair could surprise everyone. Perhaps, with the absence of the top "ex & current" INA top-veteran pairs competing, Jonas Rasmussen/Paaske can repeat their success and become a repeat winner like Tony??..:rolleyes: ctjcad 09-08-2006, 01:52 PM However, yah, i agree with the comment that a SF encounter with Fu/Cai will be quite tantalizing.

I wouldn't be suprised to see a Korean pair win. well... I think the korean team are strong, but it would be surprise for me if they win the tournement! Just too bad CCM/KKK meet the korea team in the early stage, it will determine wherether they can win this worldchampionship or not. As for ccm/kkk they always find it tough to beat the korean and indonesia team in particular. Although I am the true friend of CCM/KKK... just a bit dissapointed they meet Korea team in the early stage ....zz leongch 09-09-2006, 12:50 AM Well if they were allowed to compete I think Tony and Chandra would wipe the floor with everyone else, but seeing as they can't enter I think Cai and Fu will prove to be too strong and powerful for everyone else and will beat Eriksen and Lungaard in a very close final. well... i dun think this way... Tony and Chandra are good, but not a definite champion even they join the competition. FYI .... F/C is at the same half of Jens/Martin, so they will only meet at the semi not final :D Well, honest speaking, if CCM/KKK can beat KOREAN team at the early round, then I got confident they can be the CHAMPION! leongch 09-09-2006, 12:53 AM Where are the Korean pairs??????????? YEAH! 2ND SEED bt not in the vote ? leongch 09-09-2006, 01:00 AM No the whole thing should be like this : The CHN pair doesnt do well against the Malaysian pair The Malaysian pair doesnt do well against the Indonesian and Korean pair The Korean and Indonesian pair doesnt do well against the CHN pair u should add this Denmark can beat anyone unless the ccm/kkk bt ccm/kkk have poor record against the korea... leongch 09-09-2006, 01:14 AM I don't think the Malaysian pairs will be able to beat young and powerful Kido/Hendra....

Powerful... the Lee Jae Jun is new KIM DONG MUNActually you are both mistaken. If you check the draw (http://www.badmintoninternational.net/wcdraw/md.xls) again, you will notice that, unfortunately, Lee Jae-jin is not entered in Men's Doubles at the WC this year. **KZ** is, however, correct insofar as Lee's present partner(Hwang Ji-man) "will be facing CCM/KKK" and leongch is correct in saying that Lee Jae-jin is young, very good, and powerful. Some insight into this confusion is in this thread (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=418207&postcount=16). jamesd20 09-09-2006, 03:19 AM The only reservations I have about the Korean painrings it that they seem to have difficulty in fininshing the rallies. They can control the game, and have strong defences, but when given the chances they do not quite have the power to finish off, where the other top pairs do. I think this is to do with their age however, and it is a better sign that they have the skills and tactical thinking on court at this stage. rudy6713 09-09-2006, 11:33 AM Korean pairs are still young and can last longer..chinese pairs rises fast and fade fast..Indonesian pairs rises slowly and stay there forever..Malaysian and denmark are about the same like Indonesian..take pace to go to the top..again Indoensian pairs, somehow emerges as one of the strongest one...

Boe/Mogensen are not even participating in Madrid! pjswift 09-12-2006, 09:58 PM ccm/kkk won't win cos kkk also plays in XD. kkk may be fit but not super fit enough to compete with other top MDs who only concentrate on MD. kkk's tank will run out before the final.(In thomas Cup, ccm/kkk beat the Danes cos they only need to play MD.) ctf/lww has a better chance since Rexy said their fitness has improved. When they are fighting fit, they are sharp. If ctf/lww cannot win this WC, they should retire. andy_s 09-12-2006, 11:45 PM As several ppl have mentioned that they think Tony/Chandra would take out the title and I ahve to say i agree. Does anyone else think that it makes this a little bit of an empty title when you know even if you win its not against the best opposition? Fu/Cai did beat them recently but as we know losses for these two are very rare and tony has proved it with partner after partner that he is the singular best mens doubles player in the world, possibly for a very long time. leongch 09-13-2006, 03:57 AM ccm/kkk won't win cos kkk also plays in XD. kkk may be fit but not super fit enough to compete with other top MDs who only concentrate on MD. kkk's tank will run out before the final.(In thomas Cup, ccm/kkk beat the Danes cos they only need to play MD.) ctf/lww has a better chance since Rexy said their fitness has improved. When they are fighting fit, they are sharp. If ctf/lww cannot win this WC, they should retire. Well.. I guarantee you KKK will lost in the early round for MXD. I think it is good taste for KKK to play in the MXD in 1st round since ccm/kkk have a 1st round bye in MD. It is good to get to warm up and taste the atmosphere of worldchampionship. Well, the main reason ccm/kkk win at the thomas cup is their fighting spirit and go all out to attack and of course, their strong defence. ctf/lww's sole enermy are themselve! They have every right to be worldchampion but always lost ugly at the final. Well, Their route to Final also need to get through the speedy Korea pair. Let's hope they play their best! ccm/kkk gogogogo! leongch 09-13-2006, 04:00 AM As several ppl have mentioned that they think Tony/Chandra would take out the title and I ahve to say i agree. Does anyone else think that it makes this a little bit of an empty title when you know even if you win its not against the best opposition? Fu/Cai did beat them recently but as we know losses for these two are very rare and tony has proved it with partner after partner that he is the singular best mens doubles player in the world, possibly for a very long time. I think the main reason is Tony Gunawan! He is the all around Double player, good at the back and fast at the front! They only person can compare with him is Korea player Kim Dong Mun. Normally Chandra just a attacker at the back but cover the front net as well other setter like KKK, Cai Yun... But tony n kim dong mun is totally different, can play as setter(net) or killer (back) Ningtyas 09-14-2006, 02:09 AM I hope it will be markis kido/hendra setiawan. If they play like when they won Indio Open 2005, I believe they can beat any pair. Also they must be highly motivated because last year they could not even take part. I guess kwun never see this pair play, they are not even on the list! badMania 09-14-2006, 08:58 AM I hope it will be markis kido/hendra setiawan.

I guess kwun never see this pair play, they are not even on the list! Kido was very fiery with his smashes during the HK Open 2006 Final. He single handedly rescued the pair when they were 8-13 down in the rubber set. If they can get past Choong/Lee again, I believe they will go all the way.

If they can get past Choong/Lee again, I believe they will go all the way. Don't think they can, as they will not be meeting in the final, and choong/lee can beat up anyone as long as it's not the final match. RRen1/26 09-14-2006, 10:58 AM Don't think they can, as they will not be meeting in the final, and choong/lee can beat up anyone as long as it's not the final match. everything is possible,even if there's just a slight posibilty ;) i vote for kido/setiawan too let us give our pray for this pair :) Ningtyas 09-14-2006, 09:37 PM Kido was very fiery with his smashes during the HK Open 2006 Final.

Yes, they are very impressive when they play their best. I watched how they beat Chandra/Sigit in the final of Indo Open 2005, it's unbeliavable, they make Chandra/Sigit like they are the juniors heheh. Both markis and hendra have deadly smashes. But the problem with this young pair is inconsistence. You see them play wonderfully one day, and the next time you see they play 'biasa banget', just average, Where are those deadly smashes?! I just hope markis and hendra are mature enough now as players. Hendra quoted as saying in bolanews, "We are too would like to taste the sweetness of becoming the world champ". So good luck for them. TKG2609 09-15-2006, 10:32 AM in ms, i will support lindan/chen jin ...but for md .... of course i will support indonesia pairs ....gogo indo Bao 09-15-2006, 11:00 PM Its Indonesia!! if you ask bout WS and WD, you must say China but if you ask bout MD, Indonesia is it!!!. I Dont know why? but see if Indonesia delegate the their best player (especially in MD) it would be a nightmare for any pairs. Now its Kido/Setiawan tittle:cool: they very young, simple, mature, and 100%FULL OF SPIRIT.:rolleyes: mzINA 09-16-2006, 10:21 PM yeah,,, kido/setiawan will be da champion of wc06. go kido... go setiawan..., u can make it!!! cooler 09-16-2006, 10:53 PM yeah,,, kido/setiawan will be da champion of wc06. go kido... go setiawan..., u can make it!!! i still see setiawan a bit shaky. kido? he's a pocket rocket:D CLELY 09-16-2006, 11:51 PM I guess MAS will write new history for this contest with triumphant from their MD pair. Rexy seems very sure 'his squad' can realize MAS's long-wait title being 1st time world champion. Han 09-17-2006, 12:50 AM Nothing against Rexy, I only believe when Malaysia actually win the title ... What the heck, I have been "heart broken" so many times and this time we may actually win the MD and MS.

I fancy either a malaysian pair or a korean pair to win leongch 09-18-2006, 12:38 AM I take those 2 old man. Lee and Chong. Last hurrah! rgds Every pair got the even chance to win the MD. Just depend on the performance on the spot and a bit of luck. No1 can denide that be WC, we must have a bit of luck as well.

I fancy either a malaysian pair or a korean pair to win Well, mas is nt like China team, malaysia will never self determine the winner as China team proven last time. There's no who clear the round for who, when they play, they play for their own result with the country's pride in the place. Jessica 09-18-2006, 02:31 AM I do hope Mas pair can win and i believe that they can win... leongch 09-18-2006, 02:46 AM I do hope Mas pair can win and i believe that they can win... Yeah...
