Schedule and court allocation here: http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=13635&day=108281 I think the TV court is Court 2. But KKK/TBH v TG/CW is on Court 1. Sheesh...
Concur with your predictions except: 1. Can't see Zhang Ning losing. Pi Hongyan was her greatest rival for the title. 2. I think Greysia/Vita will beat the Koreans, who are still somewhat vulnerable. 50:50 between Koo KK/Tan BH v Candra/Tony. All else equal, the former are faster, and the latter more experienced.
Then, on what basis you think Candra/Tony will lose? I think it is close to 50:50, and predictions will split right in the middle. People have their right to predict without having to give reasons.
From the match schedule, I read it as one match being played at a time. So, Astro should be showing all the matches.
Yeah, I think they give priority to matches involving Europeans, hence for MD, they JE/MLH will play on the TV court. Bummer, a vast majority of badminton fans prefer the other match.
Mmmm, you are right. One session starts at 2 pm. The other at 7 pm. So, all matches can be shown. Good.
I think TG/CW will have a better chance of winning, for three main reasons: 1) There is no MAS crowd voice like in MAS Open cheering KKK/TBH and distracting TG/CW. 2) As TG/CW participate in more tournaments, the more they become "in-the-form" 3) KKK/TBH are tired (physicallly and mentally) from AE final and all the games in SO, now it has been taking them 3 games to finish each match in SO. Especially the last one against Fu/Cai. Just my 2 cents
Between you and Yong, I sure hope you're right.....I am really looking forward to see our pair in action again after having adrenalin rush watching them playing in All England.
YOu're right, but I just curious maybe she has some detailed analysis done...not just gut feeling... you know what I mean? I don't have any prediction...so for you to ask me "on what basis I think Candra/Tony will lose" is ridiculous!
Fellow Malaysians- stop arguing and pull our resources together and support Kin Keat and Boon Heong tonight.
According the Astro Programme Listing: Sat, 17 March 2007: 9pm. Sun, 18 March 2007: 2am and 7pm. Too bad I'm in AU right now.
Of course. No matter what, I will support fellow Malaysians. I will always hope that they win. But prediction is a different matter. You must try to detach yourself emotionally when you make predictions.
Indonesia's best result in the 2007 Super Series so far!! Fellow Indonesian Badminton fans... we have not done this well since the 2007 Superseries began: 2 MD [well, if you wanna be technical, then 1.5 ...but Tony still holds an Indonesian passport ] 1 MS 1 WD 1 XD ...in the semifinals. Let's support them all out tonight!!!
That's rite, the schedule doesnt say Court 1 or 2, instead it is session 1 and 2. starting from 2 pm i.e 9pm malaysian time. So, tonite, we gonna get a "marathon" of probably 10 hours of badminton.....woohoo!!!!!!!!!
