MS: Lin Dan (invincible) Lee CW, Chen Jin (lost to LD only) Taufik H (improved a lot, much stable than before, only lost to LCW. Usually it used to be not uncommon to see TH surrendered in the 1st or 2nd round before easily) Bao CL (lost to CJ, LD), Peter Gade(lost to TH) and many others (injury could be the reason) WS: Wang YH (unbeatable so far) Tine Rasmussen Jiang YJ Zhou Mi, Lu Lan, Wang Lin, Xie XF others MD: Cai Y/FHF, MB/CM, KKK/BHT LYD/SBC, HSH/HJM, GZD/XC others WD: Du Jing/Yu Yang, Zhang YW/ZTT, Chen S/Zhao YL Pan Pan / Tian Q, Cheng WH/Chien/ YC, Lee HJ/Lee KW Ha JE/Kim M, Chin EH/Wong PT others XD: ZB/Ma J, He FB/Yu Y, Xu C/ZYL, Lee YD/Lee HJ Flandy Limpele/AR, Nova W/Lili N, Xie ZB/Zhang YW others just my random thoughts based on personal impression, please criticize without mercy.
MS: i'm sure LCW is better than CJ but not quite to LD yet, and with TH's inconsistency i say; 1) LD 2) LCW 3) CJ, TH, BCL, PG 4) others
Invincible??? If he's really invincible, he would have won the Swiss Super Series, despite performing at only 50-70%.
In 2007, LCW played a lot of matches against Bao and Chen Jin. Now I can't even remember when they last play each other.
hey...i guess LCW's still got his num 1 ranking. So, ok ler. The rating is perhaps on Ld's side, not the ranking, eh
i compare this with last one, and see many "new" names at the top 10. but the strange thing is LD's rating didnt change totally LCW has got 3000 points
are you talking about SO? badminton ranking system working just like old tennis one, with comparisons to last-year results? what with AE?
Well, I think Taufik is really playing good recently, he lost to LCW in the 1/4 of Swiss SS just because of the body. For me the ranking would be MS: 1. Lin Dan (yes, unbeatable) 2. LCW / Taufik (it depends on Taufik's situation) 4. Gade / Chen Jin (Chen Jin is not killing at all... since long) 6. it does not make sense at all then WS: 1. Wang Yihan 2. Jiang Yanjiao without injuries 3. Wang Lin / Tine Rasmussen 5. Pi Hongyan, Zhou Mi, Xie Xingfang and Lu Lan MD: 1. MarkisHendra (I still regard them as a pair), CaiFu, KooTan 4. JungLee 5. it does not make sense then, e.g. from BoeMogensen (Boe is too too weak), MateusiakLogosz downwards WD 1. DuYu, ZhangZhao 3. ChengZhao 4. PanTian 5. out of China, does is make any sense? XD: 1. ZhengMa 2. the recovered NovaNatsir 3. HeYu 4. LeeLee if Robertson can pair Kellogg... I prefer them
u think koo/tan can be in number 1???...acording to many bcer...they are one hit wonder........ops...should be many hit wonder by now.......
Well, probably I should say the recovered and playing "a bit better than normal" Koo/Tan. That's true that I still consider Markis/Hendra "a bit stronger" than Cai/Fu, and Cai/Fu also "a bit stronger" than Koo/Tan. But you know, those three pairs have a common character: in most of their games they will suddenly playing like untrained pairs. Therefore it is quite hard to predict. Btw, now probably Markis/Hendra will be forever unpaired, Cai and Fu are both suffering from injuries (though not that hurting), while Koo and Tan are in a good form...
why jjs/lyd is not in ur top level list???.... oh....BOTH CAI AND FU IS INJURED???WHERE????SO KOO/TAN JUST LUCKY TO WIN THE SWISS OPEN???
