How many titles can China win at AE 2009?

[limsy]

pls post ur prediction...and which event...

for me...china biggest chance is in ws and wd...

prediction:
atleast 2...
ws and wd

i didnt say ms bcz i guess lyb will let lin dan lose to bcl...:p

[Jagdpanther]

At least one. I can't tell from which event. I'm a terrible fortune teller.:p

[jutawin]

I guess 3 titles..
Left MS & XD to Indonesia.
Hehehe..

[suetyan]

I wish 5 titles but I think they can only win WS, WS and MS

[jutawin]

I wish 5 titles but I think they can only win WS, WS and MS

do you mean china win WS twice? Maybe you mean WD.. He8x..

[suetyan]

do you mean china win WS twice? Maybe you mean WD.. He8x..
opps, sorry, wrongly typed :p Should be WS, WD and MS :D

[etudiant]

WS and MS have more than 60% chances....

[narnia]

Nothing or one with good luck...

[Pemuda]

In the MS and MD, I say China will find things tough as they got to face the might of the Malaysia Boleh machinery. Chinese shuttlers will be rattled by em' loud and incessant chanting of Malaysia Boleh coupled with thunderous chest thumping and feet stomping too much to bear.

Despite not being able to win anything out of his own bedroom as the WR1, LCW is going to the AE very well prepared this time. He will be bringing along his maggi mee, sambal belacan, kuih lapis, favourite pillow and bolster.

LOL...:D I was reading this while eating dinner, and I laughed so far that I "almost"(to disappoint some boleh fans here) choked on the food.:eek:

I would say between 2-3. MS has been won by China for the previous 5 years in a row... and 7 out of 9 MS title won by China since year 2000.

WS and WD are still dominated by China, and only a few capable challengers from other countries.

Bro ... bro, I am serious about this Malaysia Boleh thingy!

Imagine you are LD and facing a determined LCW (now Datuk LCW), fully armed with numerous gold rings, bracelets, chains, pendants backed by a vociferous Malaysia Boleh brigade shouting and chanting Malaysia Boleh while beating their chests and stomping their feet. You will be overwhelmed bro :D.

And I think this time BAM and Misbun have found a solution to solve LCW's mental block of not being able to win away from home as the WR1. This time LCW will be going to England with his favourite pillow and bolster.

Yes, this will be how I shall be playing our PAW Games for the 2009 All England.

Predictions:
CHN WS and WD will progress to win the titles.
CHN MS and MD will stop at the QF.
CHN XD will stop at the SF.

If the above predictions are wrong, then my PAWS Games Position would be placed in the bottom half. If correct, then in the top half. ;););)

[Morten]

I have a strong feeling that China might scope at least 4 titles this year. After months of training I think we will see some very sharp shuttlers that might be even levels above some of the other rivals. I expect the WD to be a secure card for China. In the womens single they have 4-5 players that can go all the way and eventho Tine and the ex China players have done well lately I would still put my money on China to win this category

In the mens single category it all depends on the mood of Lin Dan and the level of "match fixing" that is going on. LCW can posses a threat to the chinese players, but as seen before if LD really puts his mind into winning and is allowed by LYB then he might be close to unstoppable. However it may be in the favour of LCW that LD has won every major title that can be won so he might be less "hungry".

China faces the biggest challenges in XD and MD. In MD I would say Fu/Cai is still one of the 3-4 favourites whereas in Mix double we will yet have to see the potential of the new constellation of Zheng Bo/Ma jin. If they fail to perform Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Jawen is still a major thread to Nova/illyana and Lee/Lee.

Morten ... I should think that your Denmark's LP/JR or MB/CM are most likely to take the MD title.

[pjswift]

Tine, with Morten Frost as her master tactician,may be formidable to CHN WS. It happened in JO07? bagging Tine her first? SS title. There's no reason why it can't be repeated.So that's a possible 2 titles for DEN.

True ...... Tine could bag the WS title. Her confidence should be high. She has been playing well in the last 3 months.

Assuming that there are no upsets of seeded players, Tine (1) will make it to the Finals by defeating these CHN WS:
At Quarter-Finals ...... Wang Lin (7)
At Semi-Finals ......... Lu Lan (3)

Without the top pairs from KOR and INA, DEN and MAS pairs will have it easier.
LP/RJ are now the top seeds, and MB/CM on high confidence.

In another thread, Oldhand said "This could very well be the year of a new Danish dominance in MD".

And he could be right. But, the Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol combination shouldn't be underrated.

mb/cm is more dangerous than lp/jr:)

[Morten]

Tine is doing very well. But she might have to face 3 chinese top players. The chinese have always looked very fit when they have arrived from months in a training camp. So I have my doubts that Tine will be able to defend her AE crown, although I of course cheer for her as she is a dane :).

In MD I am not as confident as some BC'ers are in the two danish pairs. No doubt that their recent form have placed them rightfully in the top 8 but you have to remember that despite Lars/Jonas performing very well and consistent they havent won any major tournament in a long time( Not counting the Japan Open since the resistance there wasnt as big as in most super series). They have the skill to become the champion but as I see it lacks a few percent.

Carsten/Mathias did very well in Korea and beat maybe the best MD in the world at the moment. However this was there first major victory so even if they showed they got the ability to win these tournaments I still think we will have to be more cautious and watch their performance over a longer period before we can count them as favourites. Else we might witness a situation like Hafiz :), where he for a year after his AE victory was counted as favourite in most events and failed horrible ( not that I think Carsten/Mathias has this lazy attitude).

may be you've forgotten the one BIG reason, she is not getting any younger!

[sudirman]

should be more than 1

[pjswift]

may be you've forgotten the one BIG reason, she is not getting any younger!
In my chat with Thomas Laybourn during SSF08,he explained that almost all Danes train part time (or put in only 50% of their Asian counterparts mileage) because they have a day job.So the earliest age they are likely to show their worth would be about 25 years old.Then add another 3 years of solid experience to establish consistency,it'll be 28.
Tine effectively gets to play regularly from 2007? so her body's not punished that much yet to be considered 'old'.In WS, age is not such a critical factor as long as they build up the best match fitness for that tournament.How else did ZN win the OG08 gold?
Tine has not built up enough experience to sharpen her tactics during a match.That's why she can lose to good , fast improving players whom she has not played before like WYH and MKY.It took Tine 3 matches before she beat WYH and I don't think she will lose to WYH again unless she has an off day.
With Tine, tactics is her key problem.With MF as coach,Tine trusts his tactical tips and can execute accordingly, that's why she feels confident and it shows in her body language.Tine's my pick for the WS title provided she is in top fitness and MF is there for her.

lmao half of these predictions are so optimistic that china will win as few titles as possible i would have said its possible they win all 5 lol i give it a 10% chance i think they will win 3 or 4 i dont think they will win the mixed doubles but i think they might win the MD and others

let stay in this 09 AE time frame. If u really can predict outcomes 1 to 2 years ahead, we should give u all the PAW titles now.

for academic exercise lets see my crystal ball:

1. DEN: when PG retire which is soon, which next danish MS is 1/2 as good as him?

2. INA: who come after TH?

3: KOR: LHI retired, PSH is not a threat to china (LD owned psh in 08 TC and 08 OG ), who is next?

4: MAS: can datuk LCW keep up? his goodwill ambass. post may take up his training time. Any MAS MS wonder in the making?

ya, they all will come of age, age for retirement.

Badminton Central was informed of this 2 days back: click here (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66684)

Thank you.
So it was posted as a link on Sat, 28 Feb.
I must have missed it as it was a non-office day. :D

[george@chongwei]

Well the more established pairs of Denmark, MAS, INA, etc were not featured in the German Open.

So this new KOR pair will not have it that easy and probably will be knocked out sooner than expected in the AE. :D
i also have this thoughts:D:D

Remeber ...!....LYD is just superb.....he can makes things happens......maybe another new pairing wins the title........

Remeber ...!....LYD is just superb.....he can makes things happens......maybe another new pairing wins the title........

I'll get straight to the point.

Firstly, I will estimate the chances of CHN winning for every event. This part is based on my feelings and totally unscientific.
CHN to win MS = 80% (based on my feeling that if there were 5 AEs this year, CHN will win 4 of them)
CHN to win WS = 90% (seems like only Tine can stop the tide, but CHN tide is powerful and plentiful)
CHN to win MD = 10% (CHN opponents formidable)
CHN to win WS = 95% (only because there is no such thing as 100%)
CHN to win XD = 30% (next most vulnerable event after MD)

Based on the above, the totally scientific portion follows.
CHN to win 5 events = 2.05%
CHN to win 4 events = 24.11%
CHN to win 3 events = 52.81%
CHN to win 2 events = 18.92%
CHN to win 1 event = 2.05%
CHN to win 0 events = 0.06%

China will win 2 titles from WS??

[jump_smashing]

For sure 1st WD, then WS, perhaps MS ....

XD & MD are still in big ??????????????????????

But in my mind always hope that from weak badminton countries will win the tournament :-p

[Loh]

I will give CHN the max of 3 titles: MS, WS and WD. :D

[yen_saw]

yeah i agree with most people 2 or 3, 4 will be difficult looking at many of the CHN players versing each other early in the rounds.

Yeah, a bit of typo there. Should be WD for 95%.

Based on the calculations above, CHN winning 3 events will be on par for them, 4 events will be a birdie and 5 events, that's like a hole-in-one.

2 events, a boogie; 1 event, a quadruple-boogie; 0 events, the ball hit a bird, followed by a tree, bounced to the highway and caused a massive pile-up.

Wah, our Mr Yong has taken up golf hah! :D

Have you heard of the episode of a golfer teeing-off on a Par 3, his 'fateful' ball flew towards a tree, bounced off from one of its branches, landed on the green and rolled into the hole. :eek:

Now that's a perfect "hole-in-one"! :D

MS??:rolleyes:
im sure this time the MS category will be a tough one;)

[Loh]

MS??:rolleyes:
im sure this time the MS category will be a tough one;)

Well maybe LCW will have better luck this time to prove me wrong. But he also has to clear a number of testy hurdles first in his own half. ;)

In fact his first tough test is today against the up-and-coming Lu Yi and if your namesake takes it easy, then he needs not appear any further. :eek:

However, if LCW is fighting LY as if he is Lin Dan, then he may survive R1.

But more tests will await him and these could include Boonsak, Sony, PG and TH. :cool:

Actually I didn't realise until now that LCW has such a stiff draw. Of the 4 so-called heavenly kings, he is up against 2 and Lin Dan, the last, will wait for him like "a Lion in his Den"! :p Even after surviving all the mauling, can LCW still take on the strongest lion? :eek: :confused:

On the other hand, LD has so many of his own compatriots to "assist" him in his own half. If CJ obeys LYB and decides not to retain his AE crown as defending champion, LD will be asked to "take a walk" all the way to the final.
Poor LCW will need help to counter all these handicaps! But his compatriots are nowhere to be seen! Ayob doesn't even train with him as he is part of the KLRC team. :rolleyes:

Now, can George assist LCW, his namesake? :(

[george@chongwei]

im sure this time AE MS category, every player especially the 4 kings right now will be all out gunning for it.:D

Based on the above, the totally scientific portion follows.

CHN to win 3 events = 52.81%
CHN to win 2 events = 18.92%

Tine Rasmussen states in this article that she has downgraded her expectations because of a Muscular injury!
Her aim is no longer to win AE.

A nicely macademized highway appears to be laid out for the chinese. women.

will this be a record if this happens?

But hey this is AE... everything is still unpredictable... we'll see in just two days.. but I must say they have been impressive all in all.

I knew CHN was going to to good but this is utter dominance. My hat off to LYB and the CHN team for injecting fresh blood into their mighty team and still plough everyone aside.

Actually there was a post about the possibility of LYB losing his job to Li Mao due to recent "failure" in olympic. So LYB is telling all his players to win it all or he might not lead the team again :p

But agree with you hats off to LYB. Imagine if not because of the early casualty due to losing to their own compatriat we might even see more CHN flags in the Semi!!

Isn't the world great? Failure is so relative, isn't it. And not just to lose your job but to your most hated enemy.

And let Rexy replacing him :p

。。。 more tests will await him （LCW） and these could include Boonsak, Sony, PG and TH. :cool:


I think it's more reasonable to say LCW would meet PG or TH. It's unlikely to meet them both in this tournament All England. Although it's still possible for LCW meeting both of them in Swiss open.

Of course LCW can't meet PG and TH in the same round, that's why I said "could".

If PG beats TH, then it will be PG or vice versa, but it "could" be either of them. :D

You know, LYB will do everything to win it all in this prestige AE:) NOt that i know any country has done it before but this will definitely put him as the greatest coach of all time:eek:

[jasonmarc]

As I said.....Chn is capable to win all title...........until SF.....They are still posible for them to sweep all title................even in MD.............what a team.....!

[Loh]

I must say that the performance by the China women youngsters has been very impressive so far. Most of them showed that they could perform even better than their seniors.

At this rate CHN could even claim 4 titles in this AE, one better than what I have predicted.

Of course this AE has made a mockery of last year's inaugural SSF when two of the MAS winners can't even progressed beyond the QF stage, no thanks to CHN and DEN. And the SSF is supposed to be the pinnacle tournament to end last year's SS series with the highest payout!

Hope that LCW, the lone-standing SSF MS winner will salvage some pride for MAS. :)

good job limsy.

I am thinking something else. China badminton team has great pressure from their boss for Olympics. The achievement at Olympics will determine the future of the players and their coaches as well. LYB is losing his job because of lower than expected results at Olympics. While their performance on All England will not affect their career at all, however, they usually deliver much better result here at All England than Olympics. I think one of the reason is that they can send more players to open tournaments, while Olympics you have to depend on only 2 or 3 players.

Wow, that's tough.
You're right. It's tougher for CHN to have perfect score in Olympics because of entry limits.In fact CHN won golds in the 3 events where they have the maximum 3 entrants.Not the other two where they only have two entrants.Amazing correlations.

Agree. So before WC, they have another 3 month military training?

China won all the 5 championship title.. The effect of the training and the missing of the first 2 super series in resulting a lower world ranking of the player is getting a payback now. Of course all the other runners up is doing great as well.

With those talented players, China players have to fight for their place in national team...our player...no result produced also can stay....


When you mixed the likes of Pjswift and X Ball together, you should be happy if you can produce the likes of the fuzzy like size kids.:p haha... just kidding.

hehe...finally...i perdicted correctly....thumb up to china....but we will also improve....:)

Now me know why ranking points in badminton such a laugh. Even after winning AE , the rankings for the winning player didnot raise a lot.

Why? Cause in badminton the different points in winning Super series and Grand Prix tournaments are not that big.

SS got 9200 points. GP winner got 5000. So if you win 2 GP you will had more points than winning SS title.

Mean whille in tennis, winning Grand Slam (Only 4 GS in one year compare to so many SS in badminton) you win 2000 points. Win GP only got 500 points. You had to win 4 GP to equal one Grand Slam title.

And points between winner and finalist and then semi finalist also are hilarious in badminton.

Winner of SS get 9200 points, finalist got 7800 points (only 15,2% less ) and Semi finalist got 6420 (only 30% less) and so on. You only need to reach quarter twice in SS events to beat one SS champion points.

In tennis, winner of GS get 2000 points. Finalist get 1200 points (40 % less) and semifinal got 720 points (64 % less) You need to reach SIX of grand slam quarter final to win one GS winner.

Thats why lots of badminton rankings were hilarious and did not reflect the real strength for badminton players.

yup. People talks about lyb fixing but not bwf's distorted way to distribute points to fit their certain unspoken agenda. I don't mind that for open, but OG and WC use ranking points to limit players eligibility.

[HaoFung]

that is indeed a problem... i dont see why China would actually care though... they always easily qualify for the maximum allowed players for OG and WC

besides... personally i think China stopped caring about world ranking

they should use the system in TT, you lose/win pts according to who you beat, not what you win ^^

[volcom]

ALL Englands........

ALL CHINA :)

[sudirman]

was lucky to see the history moment, first all 5 champions, in last 71 years (after 1938). saw the Chinese national team having private dinner in a Chinese restaurant. this is the photo from the window :)

[Ferrerkiko]

Woo ray, China swept all title for the first time at All England!:D

[CLELY]

Not 2, 3 or 4 but 5. What an amazing achievement. For the first time CHN creates clean sweep in All England arena, wow!

[jasonmarc]

Congrat..To Chn players but not to LYB..........clean sweep of all titles......

[chris-ccc]

2009 All England: CHN won all 5 titles.

Well Done CHINA !!! :):):)

[phaarix]

This is the first time!? I bet not one of the players wanted to be the one to let the team down :p. Maybe that is part of what gave them the strength! Sweeping the titles in any tournament is an achievement, but it's really something special in such an important and generally well attended (maybe not in MD though :() tournament as the All England.

It wasn't easy for Cai/Fu to win this year's AE... they really earned it, as they battled through each round. Nobody can say they had an easy draw, or they had teammates help, because there was none whatsoever.

The most impressive thing is that as soon as the 2 possibly very best team were absent in this tournament, Cai/Fu immediately tells the world who the next best is by winning the AE, and they didn't have to wear any gold chain, or telling the world how they were going to dominate in Europe, or dye their hair gold... They did it by winning a tournament.:cool:

[gjoo888]

Everyone of them, very impressive.

[hcyong]

Hole-in-one! But better, because it wasn't by luck.

[jutawin]

China swept all the titles. They are so greedy. hehe..

China swept all the titles. They are so greedy. hehe..yes, greedy on the OG, WC, AE, TC/UC, much less so for AG, IO, MO:p

I sure like to see a rematch of between fu/cai and kido/setiawan, a chance for fu/cai to redeem themself.
