The action really starts in the semis. MS Peter Gade v Park Sung Hwan Kenneth Jonassen v Boonsak Ponsana (not easy at all for the favourites) WS Pi Hongyan v Wang Chen Jun Jae Youn v Tracey Hallam (the top half feels like the final) MD Candra/Sigit v Jung Jae Sung/Lee Jae Jin (the old v the new) Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo v Jens Eriksen/Martin Lungaard-Hansen (Guo who? Xie who?) WD Zhang Dan/Zhang Yawen v Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg Du Jing/Yu Yang v Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung (Even fielding 4th and 5th string, China could very possibly dominate the final yet again, but the Lees could do something about that) XD Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir v Lee Jae Jin/Lee Hyo Jung Zhang Wei/Yu Yang v Jens Eriksen/Mette Schjoldager (A new Chinese mixed pair; let's see how they do against the veterans. Nova/Lilyana heavy favourites for the title.)
No, the ones who defeated Luluk/Alven are another pair, who I don't even recognise. Jung/Lee then defeated that pair. I watched Jung/Lee in Singapore last year. They are definitely the upcoming pair from Korea after the current batch retires. They may give Candra/Sigit a run for their money but I don't think they will beat them now.
You are getting mistaken, it is Jung/Lee who defeated Luluk/Alven. They also won against Ha/Kim in korean national champs... their semi against Candra/Sigit should be a great match!!
Yes, silly me. Well then, Luluk/Alven did not lose to just anybody then. They got a tough draw. Jung/Lee remind me of Sang/Zheng when they are fiery. I agree, the semis will be interesting.
i dont know, im just too scared to even think how the results might turn out, im just hoping for the best for indo, becos both pair seem to get tough opponents,,

mmm. You know, JE / ML are on fire right now.. they've been going toe to toe on many competitions now...
Kenneth Jonassen. He has been living in Peter Gade's shadow for too long. And I also think he has the best sportmanship in MS right now.
erm....i guess the score will be 15-10 15-10...candra/sigit will win easily... yes!!! candra still like hell good....
