2011 China Masters: Semi-Finals on Saturday 17-September

In the first session, if JPN WD fails to win(and I think they will as the better pair of Maeda/Suetsuna already beaten by this young CHN pair), then we might see unfinished contest in the evening session. Maybe WXL/YY will be forced to give up.

Also, hope Gade will win for a more interesting final tomorrow.

well, statistically more than any other countries.
All of the matches between teammates for India, Korea, Japan and Denmark were lasted 2 games or less.

And its up the #3 seeds Joachim/Christinna to stop #5 seeds Xu Chen/Ma Jin tomorrow, to prevent any chance of China making a clean sweep.

MD also.

But I think MD is still CY/FHF to lose. They nearly lost in round 2 but that Korean pair(Kim/Shim) is playing better than LYD/JJS right now. Ko/Yoo may be the champion if they win today semifinal.

The more interesting will be Japan Open next week. The 'so far' unbeatable new Korean pairing. They won USA and Canada open without much problem because none of the top 8 pairs competing

regarding all these statistics. tournamentsoftware has now all the international match results all the way back to the early 90s. someone need to write a script to mine all those data so we can start gathering these kind of statistics.

we need some volunteers.

Yes had the same thought.

But for this CM 2011 so far 7 CHN-CHN, 6 decided in 2 games with one w.o. (surprisingly at the start of the second game in a reverse of the Wembley match

) and 4 other country head-to-heads with one each, 3 decided in two and one in an incomplete one game w.o.
One is statistically insignificant, so I guess "statistically" one country comes out on top

Chen Jin will win tonight, looking at his ranking as well as his 1st draw in Japan Open against Sasaki....Chen Jin needs to win tonite...PAW CJ

I do not think so..China will send YY/WXL as well as QT/ZYL.....no need for WXL/YY to lose....

Mens singles semifinal. Lin dan vs chen jin. = stomachache?Or maybe not yet, since PG can still spoil things as he has chance to get into the finals.

Yes, not fixed match la..........just some injury or drink too much cold water....la LOL

I dont think PG will beat CL..........after dragged 1 hour 18 minutes by DPY yesterday.

**nokh88** · 09-16-2011, 08:27 PM

My wish granted. They are showing CL vs PG instead of CJ vs LD on the international tv session. If CL wins, there may not be a match between CJ and LD. Same applies in WD if JPN cuties lost.

I was right before but to throw away 2 matches will be just to much for BWF to take. Hehe
