DRAW of AUSTRALIA Open GP Gold 2012

Finally, CJ could rest his body well

They will face an interesting opening round rematch against Ong Jian Guo/Lim Yin Loo, who push them so hard in the All-England R32 2 weeks ago. Then, they are expected to face Chayut Triyachart/Yao Lei. Their QF opponent is likely to be either Shintaro Ikeda/Reiko Shiota [5] or Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati, who will play each other in R32. I hope Fran/Shendy could win that opening match and reach QF.

Fran smashed Reiko in the face last time!!! Last week, I told Fran not to destroy the face of my future wife!!! Fran said "Sorry, she would also do the same to me if the opportunity presented itself... So, unfortunately, I will smash her to her head again when I have to..."

And I was looking forward to watch them play

Thought they might have a slight chance to take no 2 spot before Olympics if they nail this tournament...

I just read his microblog, Chen Jin is going to Australia after all.

Not even a chance. The difference between Towi/Butet and Xu/Ma is quite huge...not to mention Towi/Butet still have to defend huge pts from winning the India SS (which they will defend next month), Singapore SS and reaching the Final of INA SSP.

Taufik Hidayat is in good form now, esp his Axiata Cup performance(particularly beating Darren Liew convincingly), good to see him back to his best,almost.

Happy to read Chen Jin is playing after all, he shouldn't pass up any chance to improve his ranking points, with only three more OG qualifying tournaments left by 29th Apr.

LXR is in the tougher half of the draw with Tai TY, Inthanon R, Ai Goto, Mitani M, Eriko H, Baey YJ, in my opinion. Besides LXR, I'm really looking forward to Han Li's performance. She's once more put to the mill, having previously failed to take the Korea Open GPG losing to Sung JY. Han Li,if she made it thru the Q stage, is slated to be in the bottom half of the draw and may meet Sung JY again, this time in the SF. Also keen to see Wang Lin making a comeback,hope she can play herself back into shape and regain her former strength.
