My comment on the last part: I think Zheng Bo is wrong in his information here. As of yesterday's ranking list, Nova/Butet are ranked no 1, above Zheng/Gao

.

which i really don't understand, Zheng/Gao was No.1 last week, how come they become NO.2 after they win the title of AE2008?

[george@chongwei]

lee chong wei to lose three sets today..

choi, choi ,choi!!!
the match also not yet start, we must have faith in chong wei that he can do it!!

Check the ranking list

They basically defended the AE, so, no extra points for that. However, they LOST the 18400 pts from last year's Malaysia and Korea Open titles, since they skipped both events early this year. That means their points also dropped by 18400, replaced by 10800 (from Singapore and China Opens QF). This contributed to -7800 pts loss for them.

Nova/Butet didn't have good AE points last year, but, they got the runner-up last week, which means an addition of 7800 pts for them, which allows them to overtake Zheng/Gao as the new World No 1 for the time being.

but
isn't this ranking system updated every week?
last week they were NO.1, but all Opens match took place before last week (except AE2008), isn't it.
I still don't understand how this ranking system works

you mean they didn't have their points increased after winning AE2008?

[george@chongwei]

i pawed against LCW

i think this match will last for 3 sets.

No, if you are defending champion, you tend to have a net loss if you fail to defend the title.

If you did not participate, the old All-England points will be overwritten by the 11th best points haul, still a net loss.

Points won for any tournament this year (including the AE and Swiss Opens) will substitute the one last year since last years' points will be dropped and replaced by the points gained for this year.

Last week, Zheng/Gao were only ahead by 2000++ pts. However, they did not receive any extra points since they had to defend their AE title. If they lost last Sunday, their points will drop even further.

Whereas, Nova/Butet had nothing to defend and received 7800 pts as runners-up. This will receive and replace the 5040 pts from Malaysia Open QF (their 10th best result) and so, they obtain 2760 additional points, which allow them to surpass Zheng/Gao.

[robin7]

MS:
Lin Dan vs Sairul Amar Ayob
Bao Chunlai vs Taufik Hidayat
Ronald Susilo vs Przemyslaw Wacha
Kenneth Jonasenn vs Lee Chong Wei

MD:
Xie Zhongbo/Guo Zhendong vs Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung
Lee Wan Wah /Choong Tan Fook vs Mathias Boe/Carsten Morgensen
Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto Chandra vs Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif/Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tahari
Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan

I agreed with you and I hope u r right.

[Tommy Susanto]

As expected, He Hanbin/Yu Yang are given the free ticket to SF. If Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen manage to beat Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung today, expect He/Yu to feature again in the Swiss Open Final 2008!

6:15pm XD QF Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthomgkam [7] vs Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir [2] -- recent encounters have favored the Thai pair (Denmark Open R32 & SEA Games SF), with the INA pair winning once in the China Open Final. I hope it's gonna be an all-INA SF tomorrow.



8:30pm MD QF Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto [8] vs Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif -- a tight match is expected and I hope Luluk/Alvent can repeat their success in Korea.

8:30pm XD QF Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [3] -- the INA pair has a slight edge.

9:15pm MD QF Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [5] vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] -- Kido/Hendra to win here!

8:30pm MS QF Bao Chunlai [3] vs Taufik Hidayat [8] -- Bao has height advantage over Taufik.Nah Taufik is going to pounce on Bao like a tasty morsel
