As expected all top guns are registered for this 4th SS Premier, M/Q Report version 1 (updated 19th September 2011), BWF link : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=38440
Is it sign that TJ/QT will not be projected to OG2012? Quite surprising me because of their achievement last year. but, they crashed to Bankier/Adcock in this year WC and shown exit in R1 by Indian pair at home. Even TJ/QT do not enter JPN SS and INA GPG. Seems XC/MJ is more promising now. IMHO, the weakness is more on TJ instead of QT Let's see how far TJ/XH in the Denmark. Worry that they could not progress to main draw, notice that there are 4 KOR pairs in qualifying round also BTW, find also MJ comes back to play WD
Aiya, I think it would be better to use the complete initials so that confusion can be avoided. Tao Jiaming should be known as TJM, and its Tian Qing, not Qing Tian so its actually TQ TJM/TQ
It will be interesting to see if Chen Long is drawn into the top-half draw, then there might be a CL-vs-LCW semifinal and a LD-vs-LCW final if LCW defeats CL in the semifinal.
The probability of CL and CJ being drawn into the bottom half of draw with LD is 25%, same probability if both of them are in the top half with LCW. So which one will be? Or will they be in different halves this time?
The venue for this Premier Super Series event (but I'm sure the lights will be dimmed so you won't see how small it is ) [video=youtube;GInPFgQZrtA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GInPFgQZrtA&feature=related[/video]
