    Predicted winners on the left

    MS
    Shon SM v Roslin
    Lee HI v Bao CL
    Both matches are finely balanced, but homeground advantage may just tip it. I hope this won't be so as an all-Korean final will be anti-climatic. It could very well be Roslin v Bao in the final.

    WS
    Xu HW v Lu Lan
    Zhu Lin v Wong MC
    Another two that are finely balanced. I only hope it won't be all-Chinese. What does it say about the state of affairs if the best players in the world are here with the exception of the top Chinese ladies, and still the final is all-Chinese?

    MD
    (QF not yet completed)

    WD
    Yang/Zhang v Nurlita/Poluakan
    Lee/Lee v Novita/Polii
    Indonesians did very well to reach this stage but can't see them getting past the top brass.

    XD
    Widianto/Natsir v Laybourn/Juhl
    Lee/Lee v Eriksen/Schjoldager
    Another two good matches.

    For MS, I think Roslin has enough fire to burn Shon, even on Shon's homeground, but Bao may again lose. LHI is very strong currently.

    For WS, it looks like the 2 Chinese girls are stronger, but WCM may still have a chance.

    I feel sad the other way :crying: :crying: :crying:

    Since Chandra/Tony still so good, how come they have to split to make the badminton MD level for the whole world down in the past 6 years? They are so good, but cannot play together, which made all the champions in the past years meaningless. :crying: :crying: :crying:

    So it'd better to name all the winners during that time as the winners without Chandra/Tony participation
