Lee Yong Dae / Jung Jae Sung not defending their All-England title in 2009

South Korea served up a surprise for the 2009 All-England in Birmingham from March 3-8 by not listing their men’s doubles defending champions Lee Yong Dae / Jung Jae Sung as a pair for the tournament.

Only the young hotshot Yong Dae will be at Birmingham to play in two events.

He will forge a scratch partnership with Shin Baek Cheol in the men’s doubles and team up with his Beijing Olympic Games gold medalist partner Lee Hyo Jung in the mixed doubles.

Owh..then, i can still watch his face in xd team.Lucky me.

It'll be easier for me to give full support to kkk/tbh.

yep, this news had been expected earlier

It will be a total silly for some one who think this korean pair withdrawal would make way for MAS pair for the chance of AE title this year...

I would say that the pair of Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan would be most likely to win this 2009 All-England Mens Doubles title.

As much I like to believe you, I think you could be wrong. Also, when I think how KKK-TBH are improving, I think you might be wrong. As they say : two wrongs don't make one right.

So you are wrong ! It is definitely KKK-TBH !

I hope the Malaysians will take full advantage of it. But they have to be careful with the Danes as well.

**Dreamzz** · 02-03-2009, 07:54 AM

MK/HS have been very inconsistent lately.
i think the danes will be no pushovers, should be interesting.
won't CY/FHF be playing as well?

Hope that I could be wrong.
But as ants said "Will the Malaysians take full advantage of it?".

Yeah, we'll never know ... CY/FHF, now ranked 8th, would still have a chance to win.

i'm curious to see the results of their secret training.
i hope they don't disappoint.

Disappoint you???

Don't be surprised that their fastest shuttlecock smash could be increased by another 10 kph at AE 2009.

This could very well be the year of a new Danish dominance in MD

Watch this space!

At the last SS, 2009 Korea Open, Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen defeated Lee Yong Dae/Jung Jae Sung.

However, I believe that this Lee Yong Dae/Shin Baek Cheol combination shouldn't be underrated.

..there goes narnia's favorite word, again : dominance.

But, yeah, barring any injuries to the pairing of Boe & Mogensen, we should see them continue their rise this yr, along with the other formidable MD pairings.

and they should back on top of the world rank again!! since jae sung/yong dae are going to lose at least 9100 points for their absence in AE 2009 to defend their title..... am i correct?
