Here's my prediction for 6 possible thing to happen in the World of Badminton by the end of 2007. 1. Lin Dan still maintain his undisputed world no. 1 ranking. 2. Zhou Mi to enter the Women's Singles Top 10 Ranking. 3. Gao Ling to win 2-3 more titles. 4. Yang Wei/ Zhang Jiewen back to the top spot in the Women's Doubles Ranking. 5. Bao Chun Lai to overtake Lee Chong Wei in the men's world ranking. 6. WIDIANTO/ NATSIR Nova Liliyana and LIMPELE/ MARISSA Flandy Vita maintain the top 5 position in the Mixed Doubles World Ranking. Agree Guys? any comment? Thanks!
my prediction is that 1. all your prediction wont be happening....... heheheh.......kidding. my real prediction........ 1) someone will overtake TH as INA no.1 2) ENG MD will have much improvements in MD ranking, soon...... 3) TH will be in the top 5 4) LCW wont be able to overtake LD in ranking even till 2010 5) Last but not least......X Ball will be appointed as LCW's manager......hehehe.........
1. Lin Dan still maintain his undisputed world no. 1 ranking. Most likely. 2. Zhou Mi to enter the Women's Singles Top 10 Ranking. Definitely. 3. Gao Ling to win 2-3 more titles. Almost guaranteed, assuming you're counting both WD and XD. 4. Yang Wei/ Zhang Jiewen back to the top spot in the Women's Doubles Ranking. Difficult to say, I personally think they may not. 5. Bao Chun Lai to overtake Lee Chong Wei in the men's world ranking. I doubt this very much. 6. WIDIANTO/ NATSIR Nova Liliyana and LIMPELE/ MARISSA Flandy Vita maintain the top 5 position in the Mixed Doubles World Ranking. Yes
Zhou Mi has moved up the rankings again and this week sits at #14. Can she qualify for the Olympics now? She has also just amassed 10 tournaments. I wonder: Will the Lilyana Natsir/Marissa Vita combination will enter the top 10. Seems very likely given their mixed doubles pedigree. They currently sit at #33 and have competed in 5 tournaments. How long more do you reckon before Lee Hyun Il re-enters the top 20? Wong Choong Hann has a solid ranking of #13. I feel this is a true reflection -- nearly top 10 again. Agree?
OMG....4) until 2010....are u crazy?????? I feel that LCW can do it by next year....that is 2008!!!!!!!
Disagree, I think LCW is still world number two until end of 2007. Need significant improvement from BCL to replace him, BCL's best outcome so far are thrice runner-up positions (MAS, INA and DEN SS). LCW is top-form now after poor performance first quarter of this year, 2 SS (INA and JPN) titles has proven that.
Yeah, also know this issue from local newspaper and sport tabloid that TH will be Agum Gumelar's campaign spoke-person (JurKam). But I guess, after Beijing Games (August/08).
