Here's the draw as released by BWF yesterday : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=353511&tid=1
hmmm as it seems, my guess is: MS: LD ease through everyone, beat sony in semifinals and simon in finals WS: Saina should have no difficulties in going to the finals, where she faced either the thai genius or fellow countryman Sindhu MD: seriously i got no idea, simple because i dont really know most of the players. WD: The malaysian girls CRH WPT may be able to keep up their standard and become the winner if they manage to overcome thei forbia towards chinese players XD: i rather put my bet on TAC/LPJ(MAS) cus it contains probably the most beautiful girl in badminton
Pablo Abian 3rd seed in MS, I hope he can reach semifinals. It would be against Sugiarto probably... And Carolina Marin vs. Sindhu in Quarter final. Also looking forward to see Issara and Jongjit in the MD final and the only europeans in the XD draw Nielsen-Pedersen, maybe versus Prapakamol-Thoungthongkam or Chisnanta-Neo. Some interesting matches to watch
I did'nt even mentioned Saina in my post....I don't know what's your problem...i know she talks a lot in interviews and all but its no good reason to insult and talk rubbish about her everywhere....
Strange that Lin Dan is entered for this minor(to him) tourney when Chen Long and Chen Jin are not. The 2nd seed is Tommy Sugiarto,no other top 10 big guns playing.Maybe he intends to treat it as a holiday break with XXF. Even Du PY and Wang ZM are not participating except for a few newbies Chen Yuekun,Qiao Bin and Tian Houwei. Also heard Lin Dan not going to the INA or Singapore Superseries too.
oh!common man...u r just attacking her every other moment.....she might appear arrogant,but she has done some great contribution to the sport by making it popular in India.....She did achieve something that no other female badminton player of her country has done before ...so just show some respect...
reason is simple. this tournament isnt just a single tournament. should be treated as a series south eas asian tournament. so effectively this is a series of tournament just before the olypics, and its best for warming up for Lin Dan alone. For obvious reason Lin dan is avoiding the encounter of indonesia and singapore tournaments, which under normal condition, he would be facing LCW in indonesia tournament.
Yup, both Han L & Wang L have capability to upset any higher rank WS. We'll see interesting clash at R/16, Saina v Han Li
Getting very irritated with your hatred toward certain player esp Saina. I dont even back her much, but at least if you are so worshipping your Chn superstars players, dont talk trash about other country player.
Other players in MS are actually very lucky to get "free lesson" from Lin Dan... Just hope LD interested to play to the end and not 'withdraw' to Phuket with XXF
Just wondering if Lin Dan still can enter the Indo or SG game, since quite obviously LCW will not be playing, and LD "seems to enter Thai Open" because he knows LCW not playing there.
he wont redraw, as there is no specific chinese players to give his title to. furthermore, its a warm up match for the olympics
