2013 ALL ENGLAND SS Premier - Day 5 : SEMIFINALS (9th March)

[CLELY]

Today’s semifinal will begin on 12.00pm local time, using 2 courts. Five TV matches :

WD : Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang (CHN) v Miyuki Maeda/Satoko Suetsuna (JPN)

MS : Lee Chong Wei (MAS) v Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk (THA)

WS : Ratchanok Intanon (THA) v Saina Nehwal (IND)

MD : Liu Xiaolong/Qiu Zihan (CHN) v Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan (INA)

WS : Sung Ji Hyun (KOR) v Tine Baun (DEN)

INA has secured 1 XD final ticket, will Rijal/Debby realize all INA final?

WD as usual, 99% will be CHN own as Wang/Yu will storm to last round and take on their team-mates tomorrow.

MD and WS, full of surprises here and tough to predict

Looks like MS will go on the script, top and second seed will show off their performance to win AE title.

Hendra Setiawan should use this chance to complete his major title!

surprise to see Rijal/Debby beat Xu/Ma yesterday. will they make an ALL INA final?

Does lightning strike twice? If they manage to win against Z/Z as well, I will go into a state of total shock! But I hope they can do it and bring some fresh faces into the top XD...

Hendra Setiawan should use this chance to complete his major title!

Pretty decent chance of that happening plus he's formed a good understanding with Ahsan. A good new pair at the top of MD!

predictions:

Wang Xiaoli / Yu Yang beat Miyuki / Satoko - though heart says Japanese, Wang/Yang will be too much to handle.

Lee Chong Wei beat Tanongsak - a good experience for the Thai.

Ratchanok vs. Saina - Saina wasn't that impressive yesterday. there is a chance for May. afterall she beat Saina in the last outing.

Ahsan / Hendra beat Liu Xiaolong / Qiu Zihan - i think the Chinese run still be stop here, though they have been impressive so far.

Sung Ji Hyun beat Tine Baun - I want to sleep in the bed.

Chen Long beat Jan O - I want to see a Chen Long vs. Lee Chong Wei final.

Ma Jin / Tang Jinhua beat Cheng Shu / Zhao Yunlei - the qualifiers ( ) are tired at this stage, neither of which were impressive but MJ/TJH seems to be a bit more consistent

Liliyana/Tantowi beat Markis/Pia - the experienced win.

Endo / Hayakawa beat Maneepong / Nipitphon - the JPN boys were very solid

Zhang Nan / Zhao Yunlei beat Rijal / Debby - gotta leave China something...

Wed : 1st seed of WS out

Who will be out on Sat ? LCW or WXL/YY

Either one out will be another big upset

RTM got airing the semis or finals? The time please. Tq.

[jutawin]

should we support Markis Kido too?

Kido/Pia against ToLyn. INA vs INA. We should support INA players whoever to win.. If the Final against ZN/ZYL, it should be better if Tolyn through to final..

[cobalt]

Wed : 1st seed of WS out

Zhang Nan / Zhao Yunlei beat Rijal / Debby - gotta leave China something...

Nobody going to bet that JPN WD will beat YY/WXL, same as nobody going to bet that Rijal/Debby can win against Chen Xu/Ma Jin but yesterday Rijal/Debby giving the shock.

Nothing is impossible, an unfit player will have a hard time no matter how good they are.

Wed : 1st seed of WS out
Thur : 1st seed of MD out

Interesting point, maybe MJ/TJH will srew up their top colleague WXL/YY..leaving LCW on Sunday..

My predictions for today.

WS : Ratchanok vs Saina Nehwal ---> Yesterday, Saina was very impressive. I opt for Saina today even though Ratchanok will give a tough fight..

MS : Jan O Jogersen vs ChenLong ---> The way he ousted ChenJin , a seeded player is an example of how much improvement he has made to his game.. I wish him to move ahead to final.

WD : As Usual, chinese pair (Yu/wang) will reach final.

MD : I hope Hendra/mohammed will move ahead to final.

XD efinitely one indonesian pair would be in the final. But i think another pair which is meeting the chinese pair have a slight edge over chinese pair.. Lets see what happens..

The "chinese pair" are the OG gold medallists, and were #1 ranked until recently when they were broken up to pair other players! It's unlikely Debby/Rijal have any "edge" over them...
