    I was looking at the Denmark draw and saw that Fu and Cai are not playing with each other.

    Cai Yun is playing Chen Xu and Fu Haifeng is playing with Ye Shen.

    Does anyone know the reason behind this? Is it a temporary thing or are they splitting up for good?

    It's a good long time strategy by China to develop their Mens Doubles program. While China may not expect their MD to become as dominant as their WS/WD program, they would like more than one good pair. Splitting up Fu and Cai allow these two to be mentors to younger players. Besides, if Fu and Cai always practice as a pair, there really aren't any Chinese opponents. This way, Fu and Cai will play against each other and improve 2 pairs of MD.

    Hey, how are you doing? I was actually going to sent you a message asking about it.

    I noticed that Chen Xu's game has improve a lot since the first time I saw him in HK open in 2006. I'll keep an eye open for those players that you've mention.

    Your answer is absolutely spot on, hhwoot :)

    The irony, however, is that this form of 'mentoring' has produced few great combinations.

    I'm curious as to what kind of players Chen Xu and Ye Shen are :)
    Since Cai Yun was the strategic half and Fu Haifeng was the tactical half, their new partners will now have to assume the missing roles.

    Chen Xu is attacker player and Shen Ye is a front/set up player...
    During Macau Open...Hehanbin/Shen Ye vs Chinese Taipei...in that match..HHB covered the court all over just like he is playing XD...Shen Ye was confused and became a target...I think Shen Ye defend is quite weak..

    If that's so, it's quite strange to put him in with Fu Haifeng :eek:
    Haifeng is a great smasher alright but he's the weak link when defending!

    Guo Zhendong will be happy to get away from Xie Zhongbo.
    It seems he gets scolded a lot when partnering Zhongbo :D

    Thats true...I think Zhong Bo is the boss
    I saw the entry list for China Open 2 ( provided by Leonard)

    Guo Xen Dong/Chen Xu:eek:
    Fu Hai Feng/Cai Yun
    He Hanbin/Su Jun Jie
    Liu Xiao Lung/Chai Biao ( future pair..both tall but still raw..both have great smash)
    Shen Ye/Li Tian
    Xie Zhong Bo/Zheng Bo:eek:
