where is candra/sigit? are they not competing? or is their seeding low because they didnt play enough tournaments?
chandra/sigit, taufik, etc are not going to malaysia open... still enjoying their thomas cup victory prizes i guess =D
Good chance to see Malaysians bagging a double! Best hope for MS: Wong Choong Hann, Lee Tsuen Seng MD: Chan Choong Ming-Chew Choon Eng Chan-Chew should kick their ass if they fail to bag the title in the absence of the powerful Koreans and Indonesians! As for the MS, there is a chance for Wong and Lee to upstage the Chinese if they continue their good form. Ong's challenge will likely end in the quarters at Lin Dan's hands, while Hafiz may not be so lucky against Bao this time
Well, the Danes should provide some competition in the doubles. Do not underestimate the Thai pair of Pramote Teerawiwatana and Tesana Panvisvas too!! Of course I'l mind the least if Chan/Chew wins!!!!
