[sickgal]

sad dinner? overcooked? leftover? bf didn't buy?

worse than what you'd mentioned...but at least BCL made up my nite ....:p

[phaarix]

Can you say 'Domination'?:p

I wish it weren't so :(. So many all-Chinese SF these days it's getting ridiculous. Other countries really need to get themselves sorted.

lol remember the good old days when indo, malaysia, china and denmark were almost on equal footing? Those were the days!

[yiklyong]

not easy for wmc bcoz zhang ning has never won an AE before so zhang's determination is there

[sickgal]

[phaarix]

[afham07]

[abedeng]

That's ok, WMC did her best, it was always difficult playing a "grandmaster". And even more difficult if the "grandmaster" hasn't won AE and wants the title before she retires.

Congrats ZN and CHN squads, the rest of the world need to take stock and plan out their revenge next week at Swiss Open.

[Dimplex]

congrats Zhang Ning

[cynthia]

Congratz to all chinese players....

:) :)

[phaarix]

Hoping for -
Chen Jin to win MS
Zhu Lin or Zhang Ning to win WS
Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong to win MD
Gao Ling/Huang Sui to win WD (as they are in my Badminton Manager team!)
Gao Ling/Zheng Bo to win XD (in my Badminton Manager team)

[cooler]

Jen Eriksen and Martin Lungaard Hansen against KKK/TBH
A Malaysian revenge?

[bananaboy]

Out of the total 20 semi-finalist in 5 events, China has booked 14 of them... 70%.:eek:

As much as I like to see Lin Dan wins AE again, I actually would prefer a BCL vs CJ match, as that's the only one match I do not have in my video collection.:p

It's funny to see half of this message board :crying: when it ends up being China dominates both Malaysia and Indonesia... their replies are quite funny.

Now I wonder what people will say if somehow Cai/Fu ends up winning MD as well(kinda unlikely though) and make it a China clean sweep... this board will be so hiliarious hearing people whine and cry.

[cooler]

amazing, an US player is in the MD SF:D;)

oi! I already pointed out that 70% figure before you in my separate thread ;)

well, there are still 2 spots reserved for malaysia in this tournie so this board topic won't be completely dead... yet :)

[BadFever]

Yeah.. HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF!... Ants going to throw up now..

Hahahaha.....ants, you are so funny. Make sure you save some of your puke and, when you go yumcha with CTF, give it to him as a present. ROFL.

[wwcbro]

80% of the #1 seeds are China and they are all through the SF, the other 20% of the #1 is non-China and crashes out in the QF.....:)

[ctjcad]

...well, there were some but not much..here are the "significant" ones:
- LCW losing in 2 close straight sets to CY...
- INA's XD pair NW/LN losing to CHN's unheralded pair of YY/HHB in straight sets..

[Felicia_txh]

LCW lost again to China player!!:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :confused:

[ck1981]

LCW lost again to China player!!:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :confused:

Don't feel shocked, it's normal for LCW right? What's new? I can't foresee his improvement in the coming years and I would be surprised if he can beat China players one day.
When can Malaysia produce a world champion like Lin Dan? Malaysia BAM sent a lot of men singles to this tournament but most of them lost in the early rounds. So disappointing!!

Chong Wei will have chance to revenge in Swiss Open, we know his skill and stamina are in par with the world class players so need more win to boost his confidence ... I think he will do well in Swiss Open.

[black_knight006]

Syaorsan, here is where I differ:

MS:
KENNETH JONASSEN over Chen Jin?!?!?!?!:eek: Are you on drugs:confused: If Chen Jin loses:crying: Because A). I have money on him and B). it's like betting for free money. There is a 10% chance that Jonassen will win.

WS:
I agree that Zhang Ning will win her women's singles, but barely. Most likely a 3 game match. Actually no, I think WMC will win. Well.....maybe Zhang, but maybe WMC, but then again....URGH!! It's too hard to choose, so even I think. But I'm gonna end up giving it to Zhang just because of the gold.

MD & WD:
I agree on all accounts. Altho if you said Peter Gade would make it past the first round I would have agreed as well.:cool:

XD:
Kellog & Clark to win over the Koreans, and Emms/Robertson to win, now that Nathan has cut his hair he has less weight holding him down:p

We'll see how it pans out!!:)


As usual (my) winners in bold ... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

MS :

Lin Dan vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro
Shoji Sato vs Bao Chunlai
Kenneth jonassen vs Chen Jin .. not sure about this one
Chen Yu vs Lee Chong Wei

Xie Xingfang vs Jiang Yanjiao ..
Xu Huaiwen vs Zhu Lin .. Zhu Lin's form is quite amazing
Pi hongyan vs Wang Chen .. i hope pi hongyan can reach the semi final

MD :

Fu/Cai vs Mateusiak/logosz .. the chinese to win "quite" easily
Lee/Jung vs Wijaya/Gunawan .. the indo american to take their revenge
Koo/Tan vs Han/Yoo .. the mas pair appears to be too strong here

WD :

Gao/Huang vs Kostiuczyk/Augustyn
Zhang/Wei vs Polii/Marissa
Wong/Chin vs Chien/Cheng
