Will be out tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6 pm Malaysia time!!! The seedings are already out though: http://www.badzine.info/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199&Itemid=31&pop=1&page=0 PS. I know the second seeded Chen Jin is going for sure, cuz I've just talked to him. And he's looking forward to the tournament.
Draws are out.. http://www.internationalbadminton.org/draws.asp This time around 'unfortunate seed' is Hashim.
wow, the MSQ group 3 is going to be a tough one. WCH, Poompat, SS and KBH all fighting for 1 place, this could have been the semis line up for one of the smaller tournaments!
yup, agreed, both brothers have a tough draw and should be out in the first round with Roslin facing LD and Hafiz facing TH. on the plus side, we get to see LD vs TH again in the QF.
Hei hei...KZ,just hope that you intuition correct this time because i have the same feeling with you too...The MS draw is interesting and it is a tough battle for every player.May the best player win.
draw's lookin good for MAS... KKk-TBH will have a good path to QF, where they'l meet either ex-WC Paaske-Rasmussen or Kido-Setiawan... SF they might meet Eriksen and Hansen, or even CTF-LWW! hehe... as for LCW, ok till QF, where he'll meet Chen Yu, then if go thru to SF, he'll meet most prob Chen Jin or Park Sung Hwan....
nope, i think CTF/LWW will likely lose in the first round to AC/RB, much as i hate to admit it. they just haven't produced anything to show that they can compete with the best anymore. KKK/TBH look good for QF clash with MK/HS, which i think they will win, but the SF against JE/ML wil be tough. i think the QF will be: TBS/OSH vs LJJ/HWJ JJS/LYD vs TG/CW KKK/TBH vs MK/HS AC/RB vs JE/ML as for LCW, QF meeting with CY seems likely, i would expect him to get past CY though it'll be a tough match. against CJ in the SF, that'll be a different game and i'm afraid i can't see him winning that one. QF looks like fun, this is how i see it: LD vs TH PG vs BCL CY vs LCW KJ vs CJ
Hafiz Hashim gonna meet Taufik hashim for first round.wow hard.Now i should think who i wanna support??.
KKK/TBH VS sigit/frans in 1st match, hum it was a nice setup to test the power of INA pair. Hope that sigit still can use all of his experiences to beat the MAS pair. Well just another hope haha, otherwise I'ms till epecting a good fight here
Being not intimitely familiar with the pros, I cannot even explain how confusing the initials system is, heh. The only ones I can figure out... LD and TH
oh mann...what a bad draw for hafiz n roslin hashim...... hafiz has taufik in his way in the 1st round whereas roslins got lin dan....OMG ...i hope both MAS players win their matches..hehe ...but it will be unlikely though....but at least there will be an interesting repeat of the MO 1st round between LD and TH..that will be fun to watch.. LCW on the other hand, has a much easier path to the semis IMO.....i think he can neat Chen Yu but after that he's gonna meet the guy who took his world number 2 ranking, CJ in the semis...n it'll be hard to predict who's gonna win that match... as for the MD....i hope i can see TBS/OSH come through the qualifying and meet CY/FHF in the 2nd round n i hope the MAS players can beat them again,...hehe..CTF/LWW have WC runners-up in their 1st round...that would be an interesting match to watch....cuz the MAS players have alot at risk in this tournament and the ENG players are playing on their home soil....as for KKK/TBH, i can really comment on their draw cuz i dont know their opponents that much but i hope they win the tourney ..hehe
I can't see the draws. Can anyone copy them and put them in so I can see? Sorry, for the trouble but I don't have the program on my computer to see, who's playing against who.
