I just checked the draw that Tine Rasmussen's place in the main draw has been replaced by Julia Wong.

Is she injured or preparing for the EBC?
I do not think so..remember that after winning MAS Open, she withdrew also from Korean Open as well...

Hafiz hashim also, peter gade, wang Yi han , Tracy hallem

Well, I guess so. She needs some rest. She managed to squeeze into the top 8 after the AE's win.:) Oh dear, that means someone will fall out of the top 8 as well.:(

Who else has withdrawn?

well..If she plays and does well..she can be top 4...but if she wins European championship...she may have a chance to be top 4...Zhu Lin needs to reach RU or win to remain Top 4 as wang Chen did not do well as well in Swiss Open last year ( ZL lost to Li Li in 1st round and WC lost in 2nd round...)

While we are talking about withdrawals, anybody noticed that the Koreans will be participating in their 4th straight tournament? That's right, they've been at it since the Thomas/Uber qualifiers 3 weeks ago.

If they win another title here in Swiss Open, their fitness levels is beyond compare ...... China, beware.
well....some of them are registered at Romania and Polandia Challenge...I am sure that they will withdraw....it is insane for LHI, LYD, Hwang to play 6 straight weeks.........

latest update:
Peter Gade has withdrawn for this weeks Swiss Super Series event as he continues to struggle with Asthma. Gade missed last weeks All England suffering from the same ailment in a tournament that saw his fellow Danish teammates Jonassen and Persson get to the quarter finals.

Yup, KOR squad has an amazing stamina! Their MD pairs even had created All-Korean-Final in two consecutive weeks...It's hard task to reach good result in back-to-back tournament currently but they did it!

This one wisely to save money that BAM still owes LCW and KKK/TBH.

Well, I believe KKK/TBH won 2 SS back-to-back last year so let's see if KOR can win 3rd in a row.It would be a scary conquest.

He already has NO chance to qualify at all as there are at least 2 M'sians ahed of him.

DOES IT MATTER? Mr.YOYO

Injured Hafiz pulls out of Swiss Open

PETALING JAYA: An injured Mohd Hafiz Hashim has withdrawn from the Swiss Open.

The 26-year-old Hafiz, who was to face top seed Lin Dan of China in the first round today, had been advised against competing due to pain on his Achilles tendon.

The world No. 24, whose hope to feature in his first Olympic Games in Beijing is as good as over, will return home today.
Canadian's Andrew Dabeka has been promoted from the qualifying tournament to replace Hafiz in the main draw.

Funny to see Xie Zhongbo and Lin Dan participating here even if they officially were injured during AE. If they really were that injured, would China then risk to make it worser by letting them play here. I dont think so, it would be to risky since the olympics are not far ahead. I wouldnt be suprised to see LD destroying every opponent he meets during Swiss Open and in the long run this just shows how match fixing is one of China's weapons in getting the best outcome. It ruins the sport and it has nothing to do with sportmanship.

Absolutely agree. As swiss open is the last tourney to collect OG08 points, there's mathematically impossible (pls correct if i'm wrong) for LCW to overtake LD as world No.1. We all knew why CJ won AE08 :cool:

LD's participation is merely to block other non-CHN players so that it will make sure CJ remain top 4 and therefore qualified for OG08. I aint Einstein, nor Antoni Gaudi :rolleyes:
