Why isn't Lin Dan playing?

[scorpion1]

Why isn't Lin Dan playing?

Let him enjoy his marriage life .. Leaving one superseries finals just to spend time with his newly wed wife is not unusual..

[Borbor]

Have you seen LD since the olympics? Lol

[scorpion1]

Yeah.. I have seen his videos playing in CBSL (Youtube). So, he is still in touch with badminton.

With CY/FHF in, it's bye bye for KKK/TBH.

Boe/Mogensen, Hong Wei/Shen Ye and Ki Jung/Sa Rang are there much earlier...
so with or without CY/FHF, KKK/TBH stand not much chance

Based on your facts, they are in such a sorry state.

where can you see this? i didnt find the Group of MS and others. Please share your link.Thanks

[Justin L]

JPN MD Hashimoto/Hirata declined, so Cai/Fu are in to replace them.

I said that it would be like.. Because, Normally BWF will group like 1,4,6,8 and 2,3,5,7 in rankings. Because they followed the same format even last year.

[Justin L]

JPN WD Maeda/Suetsuna also declined and is replaced by HKSAR Tse/Poon.

As expected Bao/Zhong had to decline owing to Zhong Qianxin's injury sustained during the CBSL for which she was sent to Germany for treatment, so Wang XL/Yu Yang is the new invitation.

[Jimmy_Goh]

I have not been following news on the SS Final.

Hope someone can help to clarify my doubts :-

1) Only the "Top 8" players in each of the 5 categories will play here?

2) The "Top 8" are split into 2 groups of 4, and play round robin? (Based on post#19 from scorpion1)

3) The Top 2 in each group will qualify for semi-final in a "cross over". If this is the case, would the possibility of the Olympic 2012 saga history repeats itself?

4) I may be wrong, so hope someone can explain how the SS Final is played.

Thanks

you don't even have a little faith on them? they're finalist in the last 2 SS, right?

Nope, if you check last year's format, you will notice that this was not the case.

Nope, the HK pair is already in, the withdrawal of Maeda/Suetsuna brings in Matsutomo/Takahashi.
