Nah, you look too highly of me drifit. I am below average, just a beginner.

I wish they would have an exhibition match that put top singles players against the top doubles players, or it would be fun to see ZN or XXF play a MS player. Or what about ZN/XXF playing doubles against Gao/Huang?

And Wong Choon Han did fill in for MD's a few times.

But imagine if both LD and TH were paired up and given time to sharpen their combo, TH in front of the net and LD at the back killing stuff would be very good to watch!

1. Mia and WC's individual skills are way superior than most of their opponents (single or double) in UC.

2. Mia and WC do practice double games with their partners, but not just wake up and randomly pick one teammate and get on.

Therefore, Mia and WC's case of using regular double partner (even though they are more focus on single) against way below their standard opponents are totally different than the original topic.

I will say, on the same (or very close) standard, 2 randomly paired top single players can NEVER beat a well proven pair of double players.

Tony and FHF will absolutely destroy LD/TH in doubles. But in singles, forget it.

Xie xinfang said once Lin dan was unable to play doubles right ?

..it'll be 1 vs. 2, just like in practice..LinDan plays the first 11 pts and then Taufik finishes the following 11 pts or vice versa..

In reality, the best single player that good when playing double is Liem Swie King when he partner Kartono.

Liem Swie King / Christian
Liem Swie King / Kartono
Liem Swie King / Icuk SUgiarto
Liem Swie King / Bobby Ertanto

Liem Swie King the four combinations, in my opinion, LSK / Christian is the strongest....

Juniors and seniors are as different as red and coffee beans - they both grow on soil but red beans are made into confectionaries and drinks, while coffee gets marketed worldwide in overpriced styrofoam cups and movie product placements.

Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng will win the game.

I have another scenario in mind - the top-4 MS players form two pairs and play against each others. What kind of combination would bring us a balanced competition? I assume the No.4 MS player is Gade (I don't want to have two players from the same country anyway, so BCL and CJ are not considered).

LD and TH seem to have personal conflicts according to what the media has reported. If that is the case, they shouldn't play together. What if LD/PG vs. LCW/TH?
