here are my predications for the QF which just started as I type: (predicated winners in bold) MS: [DEN] Peter GADE vs. [NED] Dicky PALYAMA [GER] Björn JOPPIEN vs. [DEN] Joachim PERSSON [NED] Eric PANG vs. [DEN] Neils Chr. KALDAU (hard to say) [POL] Przemyslaw WACHA vs. [DEN] Kenneth JONASSEN MD: [DEN] M.HANSEN/J.ERIKSEN vs. [AUT] J.KOCH/M.LAHNSTEINER [POL] R.MATEUSIAK/M.LOGOSZ vs. [GER] R.SPITKO/M.FUCHS (the poles are doing really good in doubles) [WAL] M.LEWIS/M.HUGHES vs. [ENG] R.BLAIR/A.CLARK [GER] Kristof HOPP/I.KINDERVATER vs. [DEN] C.MOGENSEN/M.BOE WS: [FRA] PI Hongyan vs. [GER] Juliane SCHENK [NED] Mia AUDINA vs. [SCO] Susan HUGHES [BUL] Petya NEDELTCHEVA vs. [NED] YAO Jie [DEN] Tine RASMUSSEN vs. [GER] XU Huaiwen (just so I will not be boring) WD: (I will not predict here) [ENG] D.KELLOGG/G.EMMS vs. [NED] B.BEENHAKKER/J.MEULENDIJKS [DEN] B.ANDERSEN/M.SCHJOLDAGER vs. [SWE] E.BERGBLOM/J.PERSSON [DEN] L.KRISTIANSEN/K.JUHL vs. [POL] N.KOSTIUCZYK/K.AUGUSTYN [ENG] N.MUNT/J.NICHOLAS vs. [GER] J.SCHENK/N.GRETHER XD: already played I think overall the European level is quite good, maybe in few years they can be quite a challenge for Asia.
Danes are 4/4 in mens singles and 2/4 in mens doubles. Not a surprise, but still makes you wonder what the rest of us Europeans do... Furthermore I think Gade won't lose a single set in this tournament.
