are you sure about this?? :p

[Baderz_Jas]

My Prediction :D :

MS: Chen Hong can defend his title or Lin Dan :D
WS: XXF or Zhang Ning :)
MD: Fu/Cai win again to keep their unbeatable form :p :D
WD: Don't know, hard choice :D
XD: Robertson/Emms can defend their title too

China has no problem to take away WS and WD title for sure.:D
England should take the XD.
For MD, Fu/Cai should stand a high chance.
The tricky one is MS, both Taufik Hidayat and LCW would like to beat the Chinese players in Japan for sure after their failure in Madrid. I think the strongest challenge should comes from LCW as beside Lin Dan, he has a good record over most of the Chinese players this year. I think Chong Wei wants to beat Chinese players badly especially after his first defeat to Bao Chunlai, WC2006 lines men issues, LYB's " break legs" story and Malaysian NSC warnings, the ony thing that LCW can do is to beat all his opponents in Japan. " The Power of Revenge could be very strong" from LCW.:cool:

[CLELY]

Wow,many predictions here although the competition has not yet begun. Anyone knows about the official website of China Open-06? Is the venue similar with last year event? I guess the drawing will be out next week.

I thought this is China Open... :confused: not Japan :D I think he if he can, he would want to beat Lin Dan in China rather than Japan coz it's LD's home country. :) :D :p

If Lin Dan could perform well, then, it will be difficult for LCW to beat him in China. From the past history, other than Yang Yang, most of the world champion perform badly after they became world champion.

Good observation! So you mean nobody won WC twice except Yang Yang possibly. I bet Lin Dan win WC twice in the futur.

Also have you or any others got statistics about who won the most titles in Badminton men's singles? and who won the most prize money? (this probably more important than number of titles) (count the WC as $300,000 tournament). Thanks in advance for anyone could clarify this! http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/icons/icon14.gif

WC was hold every two years in previous years and most of the MS World Champ could not maintain his performance for more than two years as the true World Champ. It would be difficult to win twice or more in the past.
However, if Lin Dan could maintain his performance for another 10 months, he may be able to win the second time in Kuala Lumpur.
I did not do any statistics studies on who won the most singles titles but it could be one of the following players (after 1980, considering the prize money is lesser before 1980): Morten Frost Hansen, Yang Yang, Lin Dan, Heryanto Arbi and Joko Suprianto.

Well, I think he should be able to maintain for another 2 years. :D :p

[cao ci dan]

:D :D count me in....:rolleyes: i bet four times...:D :D
as for predictions:
MS:Chen Yu or Chen Jin:D
MD:Fu/Cai:cool:
WS:Zhang Ning or Wang Ling;)
WD:as usual...any chinese pair AGAIN!!:)
XD:Zhang/Gao:p

I just wonder some people here write Taufikit Hidayat not Taufik Hidayat..:confused: :confused:
Anyway, See the result in Japan Open until today, Taufik shows a good perform..Hopely it will last till final and China Open..and win the both tourneys..;)
For MD, absolutely Markis/Hendra..

Personally, i'm a bit surprised with how far Taufik has "survived", so far..If he's able to win the JO, i will indeed be quite surprised, but understandable as this is his "best" chance to win either of these 2 tourneys...But i doubt he'll be able to duplicate or win back to back, knowing well next week the CO will be held in one of his "not so favourite place" to play..Heck, he even might pull-out??:confused: :rolleyes: :p (Taufik has been known to approach & play his cards this way and he can only go for 1 tourney at a time-ie. last yr's S'pore Open and then last minute pull out from M'sia Open, citing injuries etc.2)..:rolleyes: :p
As for the young INA MD pair, i think the coaches want to rest and give them an extra week of sparring time(other than financial factor)..By next week, they should be 1 of the "fresher" MD pair to compete..;)

[jug8man]

I'm very annoyed!!!

Where is the DRAW!!!!

Six Star Event my FOOT!!!


Cheers everybody. It's a nice sunny day!

[nwy5633]

look like is a favourite draw for all chn semis in ms...
i think it will be a LD vs BCL ,CH vs CJ...

[ctjcad]

..i just took a quick sneak peek of the draws and the MS draw looks quite interesting..but grim for Taufik...

As for Taufik's chances in MS, it looks like Taufik will have a chance to redeem himself. But it'll be very2 difficult.
Before facing any CHN player, however, he will play against Boonsak Ponsana. If, and if Taufik is able to escape Boonsak, he will meet the ever-waiting Chen Jin(which i'm sure he'll go thru to the QF). If Taufik is able to escape again, then he will have a chance to redeem himself when he meets Chen Hong, that is if he's also able to go all the way, in the Semis. If and if he passes CH, then most likely LinDan will await him in the Final....
hmmm, what surprises will Taufik have in store again for us??...we shall see..

My "money" will not be on Taufik to win again, but instead my "money" is going to be there will be another "Why Taufik lost" thread..;):D:p

Taufik will not participate in the CO for physical reasons.
He will focus on Asian Games...

huh????????:confused:

[Blurry D]

The draw is out already..I am just sad that LCW and Hafiz are not playing in the China Open 2006..That is so unfortunate..

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/10/17/sports/15745752&sec=sports

Prior to that. i am still wondering why LCW cant win LD or TH...:crying:

[CLELY]

Taufik will not participate in the CO for physical reasons.
He will focus on Asian Games...

I read in BOLA Tabloid (17/10/06), TH said "As usual, I just try to do my best.I don't want to burden my self. I also want to correct my ranking so I must to play well." Bang Yos (PBSI Chief) also hope and said "I'm very eager to watch all of you (INA squad) can embarrass China at its homeground." Can INA answer it with victory in Guangzhou?? Let's see the mission is accomplished or not...
