[taufik-ist]

it's too early to predict the champion of wc 2007

btw

i will still support TH in wc 2007, th will prepare well for the super series

[Jinky]

LCW will win!! we'll see about that...

[Baderz_Jas]

LCW will win!! we'll see about that...

we will see! hehe... Lin Dan Jia You :D

[BMcentral]

jeez..this is a little bit too early

[Felicia_txh]

Thank you guyz for urs opinion but i agree with Jinky!!I like LCW very much!!I wil alwayz support him!!!;)

[Angelou]

Hmm... if I were to put my finger on it, I would say lin dan simply because he is the full package. Hes got the mental strength, the physical strength, the stamina, and whole bunch of minor dood dads to put his opponents off. ie play lets and complaining. But taufik always has a chance depending on his luck and his physical fitness. I mean hes got skill I admit. But he doesnt have the stamina to pull off a 3 set match. thus sorta making him like a double edged sword. He can pull off fantastic shots, but those shots need fantastic fitness to keep up. And Lee Chong Wei ... I hope I dont offend anybody but I thinnk of him like a mini dan with some delicate touches. I mean sure he is fast and explosive and has an excellent smash, but that is everything Lin Dan is and more. Perhaps if LCW becomes a little more creative, mb we will some interesting defeats

[liying_0505]

Lee CHong Wei is famous for winning in his own country,
tis is bcuz the crowd give him full support.
If not, why lin dan will lost to him in malaysia open , 14-21 to 21-20, wat a joke......
but lin dan may oso win...........
depends on their condition on that day

[utopia_imminent]

yap, i think lee chong wei is a force on home ground. but, taufik can win it if he just stop finding stupid excuses (bad line call, draft from open door) and just concentrate and winning the title back

[tjl_vanguard]

let's not put too much hope.... LCW will feel pressured again.... n u know what will happen again... don't let history repeat again

[Felicia_txh]

let's not put too much hope.... LCW will feel pressured again.... n u know what will happen again... don't let history repeat again
Ya...i m dissapointed everytime i heard the bad news tat LCW lost in the game...if he stil lost in DOHA Asean Games...no future...

[suetyan]

my prediction is 99% is Lin Dan, 98% is LCW :D

[zqloy]

And Lee Chong Wei ... I hope I dont offend anybody but I thinnk of him like a mini dan with some delicate touches.

LCW's range of shots and net skills is definately better than LD. But of course he is still improving in every aspect while LD is already at his peak. We shall see what happens in next year's WC :cool:

[emmsfan]

Personally, I think LCW can't win the WC. He's just not good enough. But I'm hoping that PGC wins it, after all, give him a chance lah! He's going to retire soon!

[jane_my]

I know Lin Dan is the best however,since WC 07 will be held in Malaysia,perhaps LCW will try his best not to let his fans down.Taufik is talented but his performance this year is quite disappointing,i dont put too much hope on him but wish him not to avoid LD's challenge in WC07.

[hydrocyanic]

LCW's range of shots and net skills is definately better than LD. But of course he is still improving in every aspect while LD is already at his peak. We shall see what happens in next year's WC :cool:

i would say LD will peak at 08 rather than next year, but he must rely on other things on 08 when someone surpasses him in physical fitness

as long as when the game stretch to the 3rd set, LD will most likely win next year, unless someone is spending half an year to train up his stamina for full 3-set + overtime and the game after

even if you can last for 3set and beat LD, you won't win due to exhaustion unless that was the final

[tjl_vanguard]

Ofcourse =p

JIA YOU LIN DAN !!


saying he's the best in history isn't really accurate.. What about all the other legends like Liem Swie King, YangYang, Han Jian?... hmm...

[Baderz_Jas]

i would say LD will peak at 08 rather than next year, but he must rely on other things on 08 when someone surpasses him in physical fitness

peak at 08? :eek: he is already in his peak, hope it last for 2 or more years :D :cool:

[baihaki_as]

definitly LCW, no one can beat him in his country

[jumpjump]

LCW's range of shots and net skills is definately better than LD. But of course he is still improving in every aspect while LD is already at his peak. We shall see what happens in next year's WC :cool:


whoa!!!!!!!amazing!!!!sure?how come LCW still can't beat him???you seem to think that everytime LCW trains or improves, Lin dan is just sleeping in the chinese training camp...fyi, LD is one of the hardest working players in the chinese national team. and please define peak explicitely. do you mean that he is not anymore capable of raising his skills an extra level more????pls specify.

[jumpjump]

definitly LCW, no one can beat him in his country

I wish he would be as good as taufik hidayat on home soil.

[jumpjump]

I know Lin Dan is the best however,since WC 07 will be held in Malaysia,perhaps LCW will try his best not to let his fans down.Taufik is talented but his performance this year is quite disappointing,i dont put too much hope on him but wish him not to avoid LD's challenge in WC07.

it is because it is very irrelevant of the subject in this thread. how can you judge his performance from one place to another and how can you say his performance this year is his performance next year?

there are so many factors such as training, motivational events., that can affect his performance next year. in accordance to LD's challenge, based on TH's image, he won't back down. who knows he would even start enjoying hendrawan's exercises, may it be physical or mental.

[purpledoi]

Mentally, CW would definitely be stronger on home soil, where about EVERYBODY would be hoping for a grand upset like here during Msian Open. The whole Stadium was screaming his name.

Then Again, Lin Dn would probably be spurred by the challenge. So, now all we can hope for is for both of them to excel next year?

Even the best fall...Like Zhang Ning. Getting beaten by Wang and Xie...

Ya. correct. I wish not only both players would excel but all players. Its the thing that makes a tournament lovely.

I agree with you that if a game goes 3-set, it would favour LD. LD is super fit, just watch him play the 3rd set and he still jump smash, dive for shots and reacts just as fast as in the first set. Jump smash (that is LD trademark), speed, stamina and fitness are LD's weapons. I also agree with you that LD would aim for AG08, and then he would retire or force to retire by the next wave of players coming up...we are taking about a fanatic playing country like China with 1.3 billion to pick from.

[Quick Quick]

I think Taufik will win. He`s the most talent single player of the world.
he play`s so good

[orang_indo]

TH will win....coz i think....maybe this is his last world championship.....when he won at Asian Games.....cos..he had the same thought......Asian Games 2006 was his last Asian Games.....

[Quick Quick]

yes his last asian games. but i think he said that his last big tournament are the olympic games. so i think that he will play the wc ^^ ( but i m not sure );-)

[Quick Quick]

what do you think where will win the wc 07

[taufik-ist]

too early for the prediction, but one ms of the final has been "reserved" for LCW :)

[kemana]

i think it's going to be lcw,home crowd means a lot,haha
and chongwei certainly will do his best to prove himself .
so , it will be chongwei

[kemana]

I think Taufik will win. He`s the most talent single player of the world.
he play`s so good
i certainly hope he will win, but i seriously dbout that he will try very hard

[mmooww]

TaUfik... alwaz support him!

[Felicia_txh]

look like the champion wil be either LD,TH o LCW..how bout BCL?China got gold medal in men events in DOHA bcos of him..LHI?he beat LD in DOHA..wil them?Pls giv ur opinion......

[Baderz_Jas]

too early for the prediction, but one ms of the final has been "reserved" for LCW :)

not really now, only 7 months away :) ;)

[ronnie14]

taufik? lin dan? chong wei? its either one of them..so may the best man wins!

[emmsfan]

I think that Taufik will win, he has his own ways of winning, and he always pull surprises, Lin Dan's mental strength is weak, liked he proved in the Asian Games. So I think the crown will belong to TH.

[virtualkidneys!]

personally i would love it to be peter gade as he has shown at the beginning of this year how much faster and better he has improved against the odds. But to be honest if i had to put bets i would say lin dan as i think he has the ability to win it the most.

[tjl_vanguard]

its wide open now... for the exception of Chinese armies... i think at least one of the Chinese is definitely in final... another spot in finals will be a fight between lcw, pg, th and other chinese armies haha

[stevenhyx]

if not accident happen, LIN DAN is the world champion loh.................

[Man.United]

I will hope for Peter Gade...but Lin Dan is looking good so...

[JaCk™]

from current performance, Lin Dan looks good for the title

[laughatyou]

Maybe Boonsak ponsana have a chance? He beat Lin Dan in singapore open

[shyeling]

chong wei seems not in the form now and may be a bit difficult for him to back to the level. so i think lin dan will win the title and taufik will be his biggest competitor. but anyway, i will support whoever malaysian in the list.;) :)

[JaCk™]

home crowd might not be an advantage for Chong Wei. he lost in Malaysia Open this year. something is wrong. he's feeling the pressure playing at home. Taufik and Lin Dan looks good. Boonsak is good but he still needs to improve in order to beat Lin Dan and Taufik consistently.

[Felicia_txh]

When Chong Wei lost in Mas Open or other tournament,no much critism on him..Y is he feeling so pressure??:confused: :confused: :rolleyes: I really cant understand y he was defeated by HH in SO??:confused: :rolleyes: However he is the big brother,No.1 in Mas,all Malaysian hope he can win the MS title in every tournament not only WC:o
Boonsak is amazing!!He won in SO is really a miracle...

nobody is putting him the pressure. he is putting the pressure on himself. he kept want to prove himself and this caused the existence of unecessary pressure.
losing to hafiz is a miracle. but, it's fine. deep in our hearts, we know that LCW is definitely better than hafiz, unless hafiz beat LCW ten times in a row.

Anyway,I juz hope he will not disappoint us again like wat he did in SO..:o All the best LCW!!;)

[laughatyou]

I'll support boonsak then =)

[Joyous]

I think some star players will opt out.

[Quick Quick]

hmm i think it will be very hard for lcw but i m sure that he can win against ld or th on a good day :)

[JaCk™]

I think some star players will opt out.
you mean some star players will withdraw? right now, only taufik, right? if so, good chance for LCW, but too high expectations.

[abedeng]

In the absence of Taufik, I will put Lin Dan and Gade as co-favourites. Gade knows how to win in Malaysia, LD is world no 1.
Next comes Bao, Kenneth, LCW, Sony, Chen Jin and Boonsak.
Next comes Ronald, Simon, Chen Yu.

Of course, this depends a lot on the draw as well.

[robin7]

The player who (1) can change his game plan accordingly and (2) prepares mentally and physically to play anyone will win.

LD seems like the hot favorite to most of the fans.
China team always study and analyse the top players to find their weaknesses so that their players know how to win when playing against these top players.
That's why LD was beaten by 2nd liner during '04 Olympic due to lack of preparation on these 2nd liners. CY/FHF can beat KKK/TBH in IO because CY/FHF know KKK/TBH's shortcomings after watching tapes on their previous matches over and over again.

Having said that, I think the champion should be between LD, TH, LCW and PG.

LCW is so determined to win after losing to BCL in QF last year and has since then experienced a career low till IO. And hopefully, a win here will put LCW back to world#1.

[koo_fan]

Of course Chong wei,honey.Of course it is malaysians.

[kidosetiawan]

Andre Kurniawan and Simon Santoso....lets go!!!

[ixory]

My mind say Lin Dan win..
My heart say LCW win...

[koo_fan]

My mind say Lin Dan win..
My heart say LCW win...
Ask ur mind to say Lcw is the winner.Malaysian's support & malaysian's confidence is highly needed by our Chong wei.U are the master of ur mind ixory.

[skuren_dropp]

As a european I hope Gade wins but I think there'll be a final between Lin Dan and LCW, where it is a little advantage for Lin dan :)

[X Ball]

LCW is 'hot' -- he is jumping out of his skin at the moment. If the game is played today, he will win it with a leg in the air.

After winning the the IO, he went on to win the local Pahang State Open, without raising a sweat. His coach Misbun Sidek is so happy with his performance, he thinks LCW will beat LD in World Championship. Forget PG,BAO,CY, CJ, and BP. They don't come close to LCW, once LCW finds his form.

This is NOT the LCW prior to joining Misbun. This is the LCW that you guys used to hear who was invincible in Malaysia. The latest I heard is he is much better than when he won in the IO --- now this is awesome news !

The guy is lean, mean, and uncompromising (only nice to WMC). So don't expect him to shake your hand without him sticking a knife in you !:D Times have changed coz I hear he will take no prisoners either.

It hope it makes you weeeeeeeeee...... in the pants !

[kidosetiawan]

You are too arrogant about LCW...I am not too sure about that...I still go for Taufik

[robin7]

Lee Chong Wei.....

[X Ball]

Lee Chong Wei.....


Yes You SAID IT !

[X Ball]

You are too arrogant about LCW...I am not too sure about that...I still go for Taufik

I am only trying to state a fact --- he is really flying. I know it is painful to accept if you are not a fan.

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

I support Lee Chong Wei! I'm sure he can past this hurdle when he face Lin Dan or other player in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. I am very happy for him and i can see he is very happy when he beat Bao Chunlai in the Indonesian Open final. In the match point of game 2, LCW is very calm and patient when he wait for Bao to return the shots and Bao Chunlai fail to do so when the shuttlecock become a drop shots... Lee Chong Wei learn one lesson in this Indonesian Open, it is patient... Lee Chong Wei sure can win...

[kenny7_2006]

Lee Chong Wei can win it, he's back to form now, and who knows, in 2 months' time, he may have regained his form that he showed early 2006!

I'll be gunning for LCW! Jia You LCW! Hafiz can play the spoilers' role for him tho, help LCW clear his path! as suggested by Misbun.. hehe...

[Han]

I have to say among all events, Malaysia has better chance on MD and MS. I predict Malaysia to win the MD with KKK/TBH but not sure Lee Chong Wei can beat that many good players to win the title unless he has good draw plus suprise elimination of top players in early rounds. To win the title, Chong Wei has to beat few of these players that he has yet to win recently: Peter Gade, Taufik Hidayat, Chen Yu, Chen Jin, Lin Dan plus the on form Boonsak and Simon Santoso ... It will be a tough task fo Chong Wei !

[ixory]

Ask ur mind to say Lcw is the winner.Malaysian's support & malaysian's confidence is highly needed by our Chong wei.U are the master of ur mind ixory.

sometime heart is more powerful than mind..:D:D:p....

[koo_fan]

You are too arrogant about LCW...I am not too sure about that...I still go for Taufik
its not 'arrogant' dear its about confidence.I believe in LCW too.

[Felicia_txh]

Hope LCW will not make us upset again on him in all badminton tournament!!
LCW-WC's champion!!roar...

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

I'm sure LCW can past this hurdle.:D I'm sure he can beat those top players and the rising players. :mad:I have faith in him. And pray for Hafiz to clear the path for LCW and himself. I'm so excited if we can see the Malaysian finals....;)

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

Tomorrow the Sudirman Cup will start to play. Let us watch the game then we only do some new analysis about the players... I don't want to miss to watch the Sudirman Cup, because Malaysia are in Group A with China, England and Thailand.

[Felicia_txh]

Any live broadcast of Sudirman Cup??:rolleyes::confused::confused:

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

In ASTRO sport channel... I'm not sure what is the exact time...

[Felicia_txh]

In ASTRO sport channel... I'm not sure what is the exact time...
O..thanks for the information!!But I dun have astro at home!!:o
I only can watch the livescore!!:(
But I think rtm will broadcast semifinal n final!!I hope they will...:rolleyes:;)

[nwy5633]

i think LCW chances to win WC07 will be 50-50..
coz the title will onli go to MAS or CHN in either way...
maybe u will think i am evil but i really hope tat LD path will go this way..
1st round - Sony
2nd round - Simon
3rd round - KJ
Quarter - PG
Semi - CJ
then LCW chances to win the title will turn to 80-20

[XtC-604]

I THINK LCW is...........................................NOT GONNA WIN!
GHAHAHAH GO LIN DAN!

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

Yeah... I'm sure RTM will broadcast live the S/F and finals for Sudirman Cup...

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

Yeah...:D I agree with you...

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

It means I agree with nwy5633...

[lina_ngchiuhwa]

I THINK LCW is...........................................NOT GONNA WIN!
GHAHAHAH GO LIN DAN!


Sorry!:mad: I'm sure Lee Chong Wei can win!

[koo_fan]

Lee chong Wei is gonna WIN!!!!!! He will be. Malaysians with him.

[OneToughBirdie]

LCW plays better being underdog when less is expected of him to win...and when most people wrote him off saying he is finshed and done like turkey, LCW came back to win the IO07 in tough-to-win Jakarta.....when LCW was #1 in WC06, he was knocked out in QF, and from there on, it was haywire going downhill....seemed like he put too much pressure on himself and when LM quit, the situation worsen...in IO07, he played very relax and put on a splendid performance, a different kind of playing style, confident and aggressive...I would wish for a MAS win in any events in WC07...but hope MAS fans do not put too much pressure on LCW saying in BC that "he will win for SURE", it may sounds encouraging but it might put too much pressure on him and jinx him...better for LCW to be ranked 3 or 4 going to WC07. That is my opinion.:)

[X Ball]

Below are ten top reasons why LCW will win the World Cup, barring illness and injury :

1. Top form as shown in IO beating CL BAO in the final easily
2. Home ground counts for everything - LCW thrives when playing in Malaysia
3. New coach (actually old) who has got LCW's speed and accuracy back
4. LCW's confidence is at an all-time high
5. Special incentives for WC -- very good incentives as I understand it
6. Free from nagging injuries
7. Lots of love from WMC (girlfirend)
8. Big support from family, all gunning for him in this one
9. Special physical training that provides him with better endurance
10. Getting some top class training with all types of players wanting to beat him

If you have more post them here.

[koo_fan]

11.He's always a special player.(having the x-factor)
12.Revenge to all his opponents
For the #7.is that a fact or gossip??.Give the serious answer.If thats true.Im happy for this couple.

I agree... We should not put much pressure on LCW. :mad:That's why LCW have said that he learn one thing from the Indonesia Open, it's PATIENT!!! Hope he maintain the same form which made him the Indonesian Open 2007 winner!:D:D:D

Yes, yes, that is another big point !

14. Thousands of avid fans like X Ball will be at the WC to cheer

15. Maybe the ministers will be there too (so all the more reasons)

No need to hope --- they will be there in droves and LCW will be awesome. LD, BAO, Taufik would know they are in a real game.

[X Ball]

With LCW beating a stale LD in the Sudirman Cup, it is another good reason why LCW will be the CHAMP. I cannot see anyone close to the form shown by LCW.

[samuel882]

Based on that current form; I would list the current bunch of TOP BADminton MS players (Who will be Title contenders in WC07) into 2 categories :

Class A : LD / TH/ LCW / CJ
Class B : PG/ Bonnsak/ SIMON /CH
any comments?

[samuel882]

ops... sorry.. for Class B shld be BCL instead of CH...

[Baderz_Jas]

I still think LD will be the World Champion again eventhough he lost to LCW ;) But CJ/LCW also have a chance at it :):D

[X Ball]

I still think LD will be the World Champion again eventhough he lost to LCW ;) But CJ/LCW also have a chance at it :):D

My friend, if you are a logical person, you would have said LCW would be world champion but LD and CJ have a chance at it. Logic follows current trend (and it currently shows LCW in top form beating all the top echelon players).

[Felicia_txh]

Yes, yes, that is another big point !

14. Thousands of avid fans like X Ball will be at the WC to cheer

15. Maybe the ministers will be there too (so all the more reasons)

It should be this way:

Class A : TH (in an excellent mood and form):D
Class A-: LCW (on the way of regaining his composure and confidence, no longer afraid of meeting LD but still facing a Taufik phobia)
Class B+: LD (seriously declining due to his injury he suffered a couple months ago...It is very hard THIS TIME for him to be like himself prior to his injury)
Class B : CJ still inconsistent
Class B -: PG, BAO, Bonsaak, CH, and Sonny (Depending on the draw)
Class C +: Kenneth, Park SUng Hwan, SImon (They are dark horses)
Class C- = Ng Wei, HH (cheerpersons):D

[Noridayu]

Dear Felicia, I believe it will be LCW day as he is strong in M"sia. With our supportment,He will win. Ayu

[robin7]

Judging from the last 2 tournaments (IO & SC), LCW (Class A+) is the hot favorite.

TH (Class A-) is always a dangerous opponent that noboby can underestimate.

Can LD (Class B+) recover from injury & regain his composure & confidence after losing his match to LCW in just concluded SC?

Don highlight LCW name again with red colour!:p:D:D:p
LCW still not compete wif TH after IO!!So if he can defeat him any tournament b4 WC,then the chance 4 LCW to become the champion will increase become (A++)..:D:D

When all the ministers are there,he will feel more tension!!:o;)Hope he can handle the pressure well now!!
GAMBATE CHONG WEI!!;):)
Why do so called diehard fans of LCW want to build up so much pressure that LCW will win WC07...it has been proven with pressure and high expectation, LCW does not perform well as seen in WC06 when he was ranked #1. I would love to see LCW or any MAS player be world champion, the opportunity that WC07 is held in KL provides a a good chance to win it. So cool off and not heap too much praise on LCW...I would rather see LCW ranked #3 or #4 with less pressure...nobody, not even LCW himself, expect LCW to play so well in IO07 let alone win the tourney, as he said, he just hoped to regain his confidence at that time. Even BC fans were saying he is finished. So with low expectation and less pressure, LCW played a great game, and now fans are expecting him to WC07...I rather be in LD position, now that less expectation, even from LYB, that LD will win. ;)

Fans don't build up pressure -- it is the press mainly. Fans can only support and cheer him on. LCW does not mix with fans (very seldom).

Does red colour bring bad luck 4 Chinese.Does its a symbol of prosperity?im confused here???

[wilfredlgf]

Please be very sensitive with the word "prophet".It maybe a joke 4 u but i do really think its very sensitive 4 muslims.

The word 'prophet' or 'messiah' simply signifies a person who is either 1. an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God, 2. a person who predicts the future or 3. a person who advocates a new belief or theory.

Barring a few differences, the same prophets in Islam are mentioned in the Jewish Torah & Tanakh / Old Testament.

Calling himself a prophet will not offend anybody - it'll just make him sound foolish if it doesn't turn out. But that was done in non-directive jest anyway - those taking offense should consider therapy.

Wow, feeling all pedantic today. What gives? :)

[waggy07luvinbad]

i want taufik hidayat to win not as good as lin dan or lee chong wei but es got a chance if he has some luck lol

Dont give the cynical statement.Im telling the truth.If its okay with u,fine.But i think its quite sensitive.

[Joyous]

There are 2 types of prophesies - one which is inspired by the Almighty and the other of man. How many times have we read the doomsday prophesies made by BC members??? Just laugh it off.

Remember when LCW was ranked No. 1 last year in Madrid and there was so much hype from the media & fans for him to take the title. What happened?? It's happening again now that he's beaten LD.
Did the media once quoted a minister saying this " 1st class technology and 3rd class mentality"???

There was always hype whether he was no.1 or when he was not. I have always declared he would win in any tournament -- just that he was in a temporarily rut when under Li Mao.

Just curious, is WATCHA playing at WC? Let's see if he can repeat the same feat from China Master...

Who will win? God knows... May be WATCHA? :D

[Torres]

It should be this way:

Class A : TH (in an excellent mood and form):D
Class A-: LCW (on the way of regaining his composure and confidence, no longer afraid of meeting LD but still facing a Taufik phobia)
Class B+: LD (seriously declining due to his injury he suffered a couple months ago...It is very hard THIS TIME for him to be like himself prior to his injury)
Class B : CJ still inconsistent
Class B -: PG, BAO, Bonsaak, CH, and Sonny (Depending on the draw)
Class C +: Kenneth, Park SUng Hwan, SImon (They are dark horses)
Class C- = Ng Wei, HH (cheerpersons):D

TH in Class A when he is in an excellent mood and form.
If LD in the same condition, so he will be in Class A +++.
No one player in this planet can match LD's excellent game.

[samuel882]

At this 21-points scoring systems.. Any players can make it as MS Champs..
Super Wacha proove it to us in CO ody...:p

[X Ball]

LCW will fine tune his preparation with a Filipino title before the WC. If there is any ruffled feather, it will not show after this title win.

He is lean and mean already but said he is still getting fit. It is SCARY ! It is a sure win. Forecast for the WC : 1. LCW 2. LD or Taufik (leaning more to Taufik coz he has big match temperament).

[xXazn_romeoXx]

it's gunna be either lee choong wei or lin dan...with darkhorses being ponsana or bao chun lai...everyone's gunna look out for taufik this time around and be prepared not to be not ready for him...and gade seems to be on a decline so far...jonassen seems to never be able to win anything big again...with ponsana already suprising everyone once, he could do it again...and no one expects bao to do it...so he might....but what the heck....ANDREW DABEKA TO WIN!! XD...

[bananaboy]

Prediction: Lin Dan. Reason: Speed, power, pure determination, and toughness:cool:
Hope: Peter Gade. Reason: one major title before retirement for one of the great in this sport:D

WISH!!!: Wacha!!!!!!!!!!!! Reason: Super Wacha makes the tournament fun!!!:p

Lin Dan is the current world champion, and since he is(has been) world champ... what pressure does he really have?:rolleyes: He is already guarantee a coaching job if he chooses to after he retires from national team, winning another WC ain't going to let him take over LYB's position anyways.:eek:

It would be nice for LYB's resume(if he needs to write another one, really:rolleyes:), if China is to clean sweep this year's WC, but probably LYB's boss(es) don't care about it as much as they do with the Olympics. So, if LYB gets no pressure from management above, then why would Lin Dan(the defending champ) have any pressure? It's just like saying Taufik has a lot of pressure going into this year's WC(if he goes), it just doesn't make any sense?:confused::rolleyes:

being a num.1 certainly means u are under pressure.to stay as the winner and keep winning.Thats the pressure LD have to face.im hoping for his continous defeats.im hoping for that.

Does anyone know if Taufik is participating? From what I gather, he most probably won't be playing since his wife is due to give birth at the same time as the WC. Even if he did go,I wouldn't count on him winning the title...Taufik seems to have lost the will to win recently,maybe because he's won prettymuch all major titles before, with the exception of the All England. LCW, on the other hand, has a thirst to win, so I think he may just make it this time.

Taufik Seharusnya Tetap Tampil di Kejuaran Dunia
Written by Antara News
Sunday, 22 July 2007
Kuala Lumpur (ANTARA News) - Ketua PBSI, Sutiyoso, mengatakan sebagai pemain profesional, Taufik Hidayat diminta tetap tampil dalam kejuaraan dunia bulutangkis perorangan yang akan berlangsung di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Agustus mendatang.

"Sebagai pemain profesional, seharusnya ia tetap tampil. Kelahiran anak dapat dijadikan sebagai semangat dalam memenangi pertandingan tersebut," kata Sutiyoso usai menghadiri Annual General Meeting Badminton Asia Confederation di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Minggu.

Ia mencontohkan pebulutangkis Hendrawan yang pada saat memperkuat tim Thomas beberapa waktu yang lalu juga tengah menanti kelahiran anaknya dan menjadikan hal tersebut sebagai semangat.

"Makanya kemudian anaknya diberi nama Thomas," katanya.

Oleh karena itu, Sutiyoso berharap Taufik dapat bertanding dengan baik dan tetap memiliki semangat untuk memenangi setiap pertandingan yang akan dihadapinya.

"Jadikan kemenangan sebagai kado untuk anaknya yang akan lahir," paparnya. (*)

PBSI Chairman, Sutiyoso, remarked as a professional player, Taufik Hidayat has been asked to compete in the upcoming World Championships, an individual event, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in August.
"As a professional player, he should still attend. The birth of his child should serve as a motivation in winning that competition," Sutiyoso said after attending the AGM Asian Badminton Confederation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Sunday.
He took an example of another shuttler Hendrawan who, at the time strengthened the Thomas Cup team, also was waiting for the birth of his child and used that event as a motivation.
"Thus he named his child the name Thomas", he stated.
Therefore, Sutiyoso hopes Taufik can give his best effort and still has the energy to win every single game he will face.
"Dedicate the victory as a gift for the birth of his child," he added.

hmmm...come to think about it , if Taufik were to go, he's in it to win it. he'd do it for his newborn child...:cool:

[abedeng]

Yes, we want Taufik to come and play his best, I saw the CHN Masters match (3rd game) vs LCW, both of them were awesome .... no wonder Gade couldn't keep up in previous round.

With performance like that, he can put himself in equal contention with LCW and LD.

[george@chongwei]

i tink TAUFIK will come to play because he wants the WC title... but LCW will win it... hehe

A lot depends on the draw and who strike form and can handle the pressure on game day...agree either LD, LCW, TH or even CJ can win.:)

[samuel882]

I would love to see a match between TH & BP.. Wich will be very damn exciting !!

[jasonmarc]

MS.....Will depend on the draw....if it happens like CM07...then the chances for LD, TH, LCW and PG is only 25%, and 75% the rest...but any way even 25% also can win the championship ....like lD did...further more....this kind of draw is not likely to happen in WC07...as LD and LCW will be 1st and 2nd seed.......so LCW jia you....

[TPA_AON]

I would love to see a match between TH & BP.. Wich will be very damn exciting !!

Yeah ..i agree with u .........
but it won't happen ... cause BP won't go to Malaysia ..!!!!!!!
He has to play university game .which will be held in BANGKOK.. ..newspaper just confirmed that Boonsak will go defend his title !!!!...

I really wanna know who made this decision for Boonsak .. and i also heard that Sudket has to play this university game too !!!!!!!!

so sad so sad :crying::crying::crying:
without these 2 guys... i don't think THAI will through to second round of WC in any categories

Super Man's Participation In the Universiade Seems a Certainty BANGKOK, Thailand (May 31) - After rumours had it that he cannot compete in the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007 between August 8 and 18, Thailand's badminton ace and world number 8 Boonsak Ponsana recently cleared the uncertainty, saying that his chance to represent the country in the top-flight competition is higher than ever.

Boonsak, who last month captured the crown in Singapore Open Super Series, his second title in three years after he won his debut in the Thailand Open, said that he was initially unsure if he can test his mettle in the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007.

"I have to wait and see what the BAT (Badminton Association of Thailand) will discuss this in the meeting. However, I was already assigned as the Universiade Presenter and Ambassador to help promote the sporting event both locally and internationally," said Boonsak, a Law student (for the Master's Degree) at Sripatum University.

"I think I stand a better chance of representing Thailand in the Universiade after I obtained a good sign from the association to let me play in the tournament. I have trained intensively in preparation for the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007 and I think I'm best-prepared for the tough competition," he added.

Boonsak, who made it to the semi-finals in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games badminton competition and known as the Thai Super “Man” after he had continued his fine runs in several major competitions since then, will lead the Thai challenge in the Sudirman Cup Badminton Mixed Team Championships in Glasgow, Scotland between June 11 and 17. The Thai squad will leave for Glasgow on June 7.

"In 2004, I competed in the World University Badminton Championships in Kasetsart University. Thailand claimed seven medals including three gold and two silver. I clinched the men's singles crown on home soil at that time,” he said.

"However, it was a different tournament from what I will compete in the World University Games or the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007 this time. If I eventually obtain a chance to take part in the Universiade, I promise to do my best to claim the title.

“As far as I see the name list of the competitors in the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007, I don’t think there will be the world’s top 10 players participating here because most of them did not study in the varsity level any more. Some of them already graduated, while the others only finished their high schools and had turned to playing badminton professionally instead, foiling their chance of competing in the Universiade,” he continued.

“However, anything can happen. They can take part in the 24th Universiade Bangkok 2007 in case they re-register for further education in a varsity. Although no strong players will compete this time, I won’t underestimate anyone and have any pressure on myself. I will try my best to win the title for my family and bring fame and reputation to my beloved country,” he concluded.

wacha has been in my list to support :)
In fact Wacha will play in World Champonships... He is studying in Poland but he prefers to play in Kuala Lumpur then in Bangkok.
BTW in 2002 Wacha won University World Championships in doubles (with Michal Logosz) and bronze medal in singles. So there is a lack of gold for him in classic WC...:)

[Torres]

I like what Rafael Nadal (ESP) said after losing to Roger Federer (SUI) in the Wimbledon Championships 2007, "I don't believe in luck, the one had to win, won..."

Don't you think that LCW was very lucky at that time?
Look at the result in several tournaments after MO 06.

Taiwan 06 : LD - LCW 21-18, 12-21, 21-11
Macao 06 : LD - LCW 21-18, 18-21, 21-18
HK 06 : LD - LCW 21-19, 8-21, 21-16
China Master 07 : LD - LCW 15-21, 21-14, 21-15

13-20 in MO 06, LCW can scores 7 consecutives points.
TO 06 : Only needs 2 points to leveled the scores (20-20) in 1st set.
MO 06 : 2 points each in the first set & third sets.
HK 06 : 1 point in the first set & 4 points in the 3rd sets.
CM 07 : 5 points each in 1st set & 3rd sets.

Why LCW can't do his "magic" again?

[samuel882]

In any match.. Luck factors will be 30%. the rest 70% depends on the skills... crowd supports.. So IF u said 2 points left to level at 18-20... Then probably most of the match winner are "lucky" instead of they win by the skills.. determination & their will... It can be seem most of the match between 2 equal standards players/pairs will the end out with a close results... For the 21-points systems.. every point earn/drop very fast.. It really not a big diffrent between u win 21-10 or u win it 21-18, 21-19 or even deuce. Whichever players on top form & makes less mistakes/unforce errors will win the games eventually...

Well, LCW could have lost the match if it was played outside Malaysia. Yes, luck played a part in LCW to come back from the brink of defeat to win the title. Besides, it has to come along with skills & guts as well.

At the first place, I didn't deny that LCW was lucky in winning MO06. But I just wanna share some nice quote from a true champion. A true champion should have good & humble attitude on how to handle defeats like what Rafael Nadal does. And I don't see this in LD. Yeah, LD is a great player but he's arrogant & just has bad attitude.

Btw, nice statistics, good work!:)

[samuel882]

Yes... dats the main reason why badminton was so.. left behind in tennis.. Many badminton players certainly doesnt have such humble and sportsmanship attitude as do tennis players..

[tbleong]

WC 2007, i think its in between LD and LCW. no others player can win this title. i dunt think BCL,TH,PG，CJ,CH,BP...... will win the title..

I never say that most of the match winner are lucky. Read again my post.

Luck factors only 30% in normal condition, but in special condition (like MO 06), it is not only 30%, but 90%.
If you were trailing 7 points, it is very very hard to win the game. Once you made a mistake, the game is over.

If you can't do it regularly, that's called "lucky".

[Torres]

Forget his attitude during MO 06 finals, he loss of control, coz he never won the title. Only 1 point, but he can't get it.
Btw, Taufik also has bad attitude, not only LD.

Well, a win is a win!

Nothing is impossible & there are always upsets in any tournaments. Top seeds can fall in the early rounds just like what happened in AG04 to LD. Who knows, maybe neither LD nor LCW will make it to the final.

Anyway, the better player should prevail. I hope that LCW is the one.

[Torres]

How about TH's attitude during AG 02 in Busan? and HK open 06?

[gidong]

WORLD CHAMPS this year is LEE CHONG WEI hehehhe

[abedeng]

LD's attitude is better now, and I think he has better respect of his opponents. Let's not talk about what has happened before, besides it has no bearing as to who will win the title.

[darenong]

WORLD CHAMPS this year is LEE CHONG WEI hehehhe

i second that ... he has very good chance ... bcos he got the physical ability .. but mentally ... its all up to the moment n the coach n himself i guess :)

[abedeng]

What was it that Morten Frost mentioned? On court, 90% of the result is due to the player and only 10% due to the coach.

[koo_fan]

How about TH's attitude during AG 02 in Busan? and HK open 06?
it is clear.Taufiq is really a polite and nice player if u do the same thing to him.Hes just defend himself.Cant u see??
With LD's arrogant face and bad attitude, uhhh..

Taufik hits the spectator during national championships in West Java (if i'm not wrong). I don't know exactly what is the reason. It was happened about 4-5 years ago. Basically, he is temperamental.

[2cents]

I really think that Lin Dan is the best player in history !


I think Lin Dan is already the best player in the badminton history by judging from:

1: the number of tournaments he won in total and

2: the number of tournaments he won per year;

3: the best smash technology in history;

4: fewest competitors could compete. (Taufik was a sporadic competitor)

Let me remind you the last time when we predict the WC.

At that time, everyone said Taufik, Lindan, Lee CW and Peter Gade were the only players capable to win. I said don't forget the Chinese squad.

Then, Lee CW lost to Bao CL, Taufik and Peter Gade lost to Chen Hong.

How come in every prediction, Taufik, Lee CW, Gade are the only choice for people to pick?

In this WC, I have to say that Lee CW is very hot indeed. He has a big chance to win. But Taufik and Peter Gade are already finished.

Coz TH,LCW,Gade are the hot favourites for the fan.they are hoping their idols to win not the best players
i think Chen HOng's bombshell is just temporary.it will not last for a long time.Well,im hoping 4 that.

Most ppls here are believing in logical sense.. From the past history.. No one ever from any country ables to shocks the world to win the WC. Players like wacha can makes impact during any SS / Opens . However. It will be insane for us to predict he will took the World title next month.. (Although I loves to see Wacha & whoever else to stunts us)
Upset is very unlikely in this edition for ALL the top players as long as they din't suffer any last minutes injuries ..

it's rite that TH is not kind of consistent player like LD, but if he intends to win.. he will win :D... :p

before he won olympic 2004 (defeated SSM) , he was in declining stage (unseeded player),
before he won wc 2005 (defeated Lindan).. he was also in declining stage
before he won asian games 2006 (defeated Lindan) he was also in declining stage (unseeded player)

i think he is the only player who can change from 'declining stage' to be 'inclining stage' instantly :D :D :p

I dono y he is low-spirited even Misbun oso dissapointed on him n he is scare to set target 4 Hafiz..it's hard to believe tat he won AE MS title in 2004 with his current form..:o:(He muz back to his top form in upcoming WC..If not,I think he can't survive long in National team..:o:(

If TH take part in WC,he will be the dangerous opponent to LCW rather than LD ( according to Misbun )..

My "wild" prediction for the Quarterfinals battle WC07:-

1. LD vs Simon
- Simon mayb get KJ in his path at round of 16.. And his speed & pace should prevail against the older Danes.

2. LCW vs CY
- Expected a tough battle will be between CY & PSH in previous round.. It might be the end of CY journey here.

3. CJ vs TH
- IF TH will to pull-out last minutes. CJ will have an easier path to SF while he expected to meet some "weak" players in his earlier rounds. CY may get Sony here if there will any RE-Draw makes by BWF due to last minutes withdrawal of TH.

4. BCL vs PG
- Highlights of the QF.. PG mental's power & nets play should help him to win on this titanic battle.

[2cents]

give him(hafiz) the last chance in this WC.

What you guys arguing about? It is kind of funny for you guys determining whether or not giving Hafiz the last chance. By the way, Hafiz is still young, even his elder brother can still play this WC. How come you guys sounds like a God to gift people's last chance?

It is not you give Hafiz any chance! Malaysia got 4 MS in men's singles at WC by WBF, not by you. And Hafiz, although 16th in the world, but still the 3rd in Malaysia (behind Lee CW and Wong Choong Han). He should have the chance at this WC.

Ironically, the World number 2 (Chen Hong) was ripped off the chance although there are 64 players qualified.

Back to Malaysia, the Malaysia number 2 (Wong CH) was also ripped off the chance although there are 4 players from Malaysia can go.

Never ever brag you give Hafiz any chance, unless you are the one ripped off Wong CH's chance.

[samuel882]

HH doent needs to give any chance.. He play worst n the WC .. then BAM will do something.. To Kick him out frm National Squad..Or remained him..
At the end.. Whoever makes the decison must be responsible of HH results.. If he failed over & over again. The person will be chopped from BAM !

[ben95]

I think draw will be very important, more than usual. Assuming TH won't make the trip to Kuala Lumpar : LD, LCW, PG, BCL are likely to be in semi (unless they meet before this stage)

Dark horse : CJ, CY (especially CY)

The key will be "the others" :). I mean Kenneth, Simon, Sony, Boonsak, WCH (maybe HH). I don't see those for the title but they are able to carry out the hard life to the potentials winners.

My heart goes to PG, but unfortunatly stamina will be a problem.. but whoo knows..

Undoubtedly he want to break Ardi BW's record, but in fact, he loses to BCL in front of his home crowd.
