Not so good drawing for Ina....especially in MS and WS....as each 3 players in both of disciplines are in the same half.....and very tough opponents in WS R1.....Firda v 1 Lu LanPia v Eriko HiroseMaria Kristin vs 5 Zhu Linseems impossible to hope Pia vs Firda in R2 right....?

thx alot etudiant,,

thx alot etudiant,,

sure.....anyway welcome to the forum.....u can introduce urself in the introduction thread.....

hmm..let me upload the french open draw to here.

looks like lee chong wei should clear his 1st round hurdle when he face arvind bhat of india and should be able to prevail against 1 of the HKG shuttler, CYK and NW..
a quater final clash with SS looks to be happen again.

in the ws category, will be more interesting where Xie Xing Fang will meet 2007 WC runner up wang chen in the 1st round.:cool:

while ina`s maria kristin yulianti will be up against china`s zhu lin in the 1st round.

meanwhile wong mew choo should be able to win agaisnt her 1st round opponent but it will be very difficult for her to win against wang lin which awaits her next..:rolleyes::rolleyes::mad:

in the md category, MAS fuzzy pair will be up against the england hard smashing adcock and blair in the 1st round.
they should able to set a quater final clash with kido and setiawan..

meanwhile kkk/tbh also will meet another england pair in the 1st round,.
then they wil meet poland pair in the 2dn round..hope they will will prevail to the next round.
in the quater final , they are expected to up agaisnt ina`s daisuki/sukmawan.

in the wd, japan`s kumiko ogura and reiko shiota will be playing in this tournament:p

its nice to see XXF plays again...hope Maria can win against Zhu Lin....it will boost her confident 4 sure....

Not so good drawing for Ina....especially in MS and WS....as each 3 players in both of disciplines are in the same half.....and very tough opponents in WS R1.....Firda v 1 Lu LanPia v Eriko HiroseMaria Kristin vs 5 Zhu Linseems impossible to hope Pia vs Firda in R2 right....?

Yeah, unfavourable drawing for INA WS, maybe only Maria Kristin who has chance to deny first round defeat due to Zhu Lin slump performance lately.

wishing there would be redrawing in WS......

OMG! what is that?
I just saw the draw at WS
and at the first game,,it's like WOW!!
*speachless!*

oh!i hope firda can beat Lu Lan , because at last 2 tournaments that she go,,firda always lost at the first round!
and pia can beat eriko,,
maria can beat zhu lin,,

maria can beat zhu lin,,

speechless arent u...that was exactly my 1st reaction when i saw that ws draw....so crazy...now u know why i wish there would be a redraw....

yeah, i know why you want redraw,,
but , i know that's imposible
huaaa...
maybe maria can win this time,,
but i don't know with pia and firda,,
but ,if both of them can beat their opponent,,
pia and firda will compete each other,,

ooohh,,what a bad draw!!! :(

hope that it will be good draws for all INA player on redrawing..

little chance of hoping re-drawing, i think this bad draw should give the INA WS a good journey to final if they can overcome it.

i hope there's not any withdrawing in this tournament like denmark..so dissapointing..

is it true,there will be redrawing?
I never heard about that,,
hehehe..

if it's true,i hope it's gonna be a good draw for ina players,,
but if it's not,,
yaa,,just HOPE FOR THE BEST for ina players :)

At least Kendrick Lee does not play a top-ranked player in the first round (like in the Denmark Open).

in the wd, japan`s kumiko ogura and reiko shiota will be playing in this tournament:p
great news to ease all bcers :D without these 2 cuties the french open will loose attraction like denmark open

hey .ash, stop pouring cold water on me...:D:D:D

hey .ash, stop pouring cold water on me...:D:D:D

hah? :confused:
I don't understand
hehe..sorry :p:D

hah? :confused:
I don't understand
hehe..sorry :p:D
just kidding, don't have to say sorry...:)

klassee,,is it true
there will be redraw?
hehe..
i just want to know,,
because it's a bad draw for ina players
hehehe

i dont think there will be redraw in this tournament too..

Overall, I think there are more quality participants in French Open as compare to Denmark in all events.
We hardly see any exciting tournaments after the Olympics and hope French will be THE one. May god bless us and Omitofu :D

looks like lee chong wei should clear his 1st round hurdle when he faces arvind bhat of india and be able to prevail against the #1 of the HKG shuttler, CYK and NW..
a quarter final clash with SS looks to be happening again.

Simon needs to recover from his sickness first to even be able to compete in French ^___^ :):)

Maria has the capacity to beat Zhu Lin.
So does Pia vs Eriko Hirose, but like most young players, Pia is not too stable yet. I didn't expect her to lose to Judith Meulendijks recently.
Firda vs Lu Lan? I really don't know. Maybe not yet.

Interesting, in XD CHN is experimenting with Zheng Bo/Zhang Yawen. Unfortunate that they are on collision course with He Hanbin/Yu Yang. Where does that leave Xie Zhongbo in CHN plans? Hot favourite will be INA's Nova/Lilyana, but they may face Danish problems.

MAS XD part-timers, Koo and Wong resume their partnership, but I expect the former World Championship bronze medallists will be stopped by Juhl/Laybourn unless Laybourn's injury acts up .....

MD sees another CHN scratch combination in Guo Zhendong/He Hanbin. Could they emulate the excellent performances of Cai Yun/Xu Chen and Fu Haifeng/Shen Ye? Only bad thing is that all 3 are in the same bottom half of the draw.

Zhao Tingting resurrects her WD career with Zhang Yawen. Not sure how well this partnership will do, but I do hope one of the two INA pairs (Vita/Lilyana or Greysia/Nitya) or MAS Denmark SS winners can come out to contest the final, probably against either the tomboy Olympic Champs or the ladylike Japan/China SS winners. Let there be no boring all-CHN WD final contest again ......

In MS, it's everything to play for. With the difficulty in estimating current form of the top pretenders in the top half, it's a toss up between LCW and 3 INA players + possibly Joachim Persson for a place in the final. At the bottom half, Gade would be full of confidence, with his strongest challenges coming from Jonassen and Bao Chunlai/Chen Jin combo. Bao is having some confidence crisis and Chen Jin is still rediscovering his form.

WS is probably the most open and hard to predict, the CHN pretty, talented but inconsistent youngsters Wang Yihan/Wang Lin adding variety to a field that is only missing Xie Xingfang, though Pi Hongyan is still in doubt. I count more than 10 names that could take the crown in Paris. A total nightmare for PAW ......

heavy draw for INA squad....
Furthermore it is may b their last SS event as INA withdraw from HK and China SS......
INA squad, go!!! fight!!!!!

i dont think so ZYW/ZB will be participating in this tournament..
they just conceded a walkover to their 1st round opponent, chirs langridge/sarah bok of england.

hmm...a disaster if koo/tan cannot reach semis...fuzzy...speechless...chin/wong should be able to get pass quater...reach semis for either 2nd seed or china pair...hope koo play his full strenght in xd...then they might enter quater or even semis...hmm...ws...dont think wmc can win over wl...lcw kah...hmm...hope he can win at here...

It has not been a disaster for Koo/Tan to lost in early round since ages ago... They are used to it...
If they can go all the way to the final or even win it, then it will be a strange news.:D

wow in WS the draw seems crazy.. there is LL, ZL, WL, ZM, MKY and WMC all in the same half .. will be many interesting matches :)

It has not been a disaster for Koo/Tan to lost in early round since ages ago... They are used to it...

it wil not be a strange news if they win a tournament, it would be full of surprises and everyone will be talking of them in their topic of talking later.;)
p/s someone will have to close their face with a cloth.:D:rolleyes:
