Who will be the Sudirman Cup 2009 runner-up?

[jutawin]

Yup, me agree. Indonesia might just end up runners up again - If Marissa agrees to join in for WD that is.

I dont think Vita will join team for Sudirman cup.. Indonesia can rely on Shendy/Meliyana or Greysia/Nitya..
Runner up is good for INA..

According to Bcers here, INA should be the runner-up.
Each time i log in, they were leading. Adui..

INA have to avoid China in semifinal, or INA creates big upset by beating CHINA 3-0 ?? who knows .. Everything is possible..

For runner up: I do think Indonesia will had the best chance if Taufik and Vita Marissa play for Indonesia. And no injuries .

Korea-Indonesia: Indonesia 3 points from WS,MS and MD

Indonesia-Malaysia: 3 points from WS,WD and XD

Indonesia-Denmark: TOugh -tough play. Ind will win WD and Den will win WS. But Ind had edge 55-45 in XD , MS and MD.

Yup, me agree. Indonesia might just end up runners up again - If Marissa agrees to join in for WD that is.

..as reported in the other thread, no "Wild Child of Badminton", Flandy nor Vita in the squad.
Any assurance on that 3 points guarantee for the INA squad??
Overall, I think it will be a tough-tough play for the INA squad against any of the other 4 top squads (CHN, DEN, MAS & KOR).

not many people will think that ina will have problem with mas

[ctjcad]

..i'm looking at the INA squad and i think they'll also struggle vs. MAS..Check out this lineup:

MS - LCW vs. Sony (upperhand to LCW as Sony is also recuperating from whatever his injury is)
WS - WMC vs. Maria KY (it's a wash as both are also recuperating from whatever injury they have)
WD - WPT & CEH vs. Shendy PI & Meliana J (could be a wash as the MAS pair is also recuperating from whatever injury they have, upper-hand still to MAS pair for their experience)
MD - KKK & TBH vs. MK & HS (it's a wash; we'll see how MK & HS do in this BAC)
XD - No question upper-hand to INA's Nova & Lilyana.

Overall, perhaps only the MS, WD & XD are decided with the other 2 events up for grabs. Nothing easy for the INA squad, for sure.

media report that wmc unbeaten in the round robin matches before india open(8 matches),but it is julia that reach final.
if i am the decider,i will put julia in ws instead of wmc

ceh is just be able to start some light training,no problem for ina

[ctjcad]

..they both should duke it out, to decide who deserves to represent WS in the elimination round..how's that??..

if it is julia vs wmc,wmc will win.
anyway,i hope wmc rest until her injury FULLY recover before she come out and compete again

[jutawin]

WMC is still better than Julia..

[eaglehelang]

Pretty much depends on WMC's injury or her recovering from it. For all we know, Julia might end up as the main WS, WMC as reserve.

As for WD, as usual, only CEH is injured. The coaches can always select another gal from the youngsters : Woon Khe Wei, Chong Sook Chin, Ng Hui Lim, Goh Liu Ying,even Vivian Ho to replace CEH if necessary. Good practise also for the gals for next year's Uber.

Indonesia still leading in Runner-up prediction.. Hehe..

[hcpoirot]

Without Vita, Indonesia had smaller chance to be a runner up. But that also depend on the drawing.

They had chances against malaysia team. But against Denmark without one guarantee point from WD? IT will be super hard.

Lets see:

Peter G - Sonny: Hmm, Sonny usually struggle in team event if he was count to win to secure a point. And he just back from injury. Peter-Simon S record: 5-2 with Peter won 2 times this year.

TIne R - Maria Kristin, Firdasari etc. Tine will win.

MD: If Markis/Hendra back on form, they had better chance to win.

WD: Denmark pair had win 2:0 against Meliana/Shendy from last year. And 1-0 from NItya/Polii this year. Den pair had better chance.

XD : Nova|lilyana will win if Nova didnot choke out.

Indonesia chance to win against Denmark only from WD. Cause they split 2-2 . But with Vita not playing. 3-2 to Denmark.

IF the KOREAN team consist of these players :
PSH (MS)
HHY (WS)
YYS/CGW
or
LYD/JJS (MD)

LKW/LHJ
or
Ha JE/KMJ (WD

LYD/LHJ
or
YYS/KMJ (XD)

6 players is already enough for them to make a damage to any teams.
Remember in TC last year? They are the only top teams with least entries.

[AlanY]

..you'd expect the KOR's pair of LHJ & LKW to win all 5 of the tourneys to be considered as a "best" performance??..Also, i thought CHN only missed the first 2 SS tourneys of this yr??..
Also, which other non-CHN pair(s) can claim to have the same amt of record/result, at least for this yr, as the KOR pair of LHJ & LKW??..

'poor' as 1 win out of 5 outings! considering the chinese team was in hibernation most of that period.

make it 1 out of 6, i rest my case.

[Tjepy]

WMC is still better than Julia..

you right bro i agree with you

[Zabee]

all teams expect china stands a chance to finish 2nd... but i see Denmark & Korea as serious rivals to Malaysia this time around
