Interesting matches: Zhou Mi - Zhu JJ : Hmm tricky match for ZM > She will win in 3 sets or 2 closed sets. Wang Lin - WMC : 55-45 for WL. Kuan Beng Hong - Bao Chunlai : Can BCL get back into form after a long injury? He will win 3 sets. Sho Sasaki - Boonsak : Another tricky matches. Boonsak is a talentred player. Why he never achieved better result is really puzzling me. Boonsak will win. Lee Hyo Jung/Lee Kyung Won - Zhang Ya Wen/Zhao TT : A warm pre Sudirman Cup match. The Chinese will win in 3 tight sets. Ma Jin/Wang XL - Han Jung Eun/ Kim Min Jung : Lets see if Chinese number fifth WD can win against Korean number 2 pair. 52-48 for the Chinese WD.
Predictiom of ABC winners: XD : Lee YD/Lee KW or Vita/Flandy . Thai pair and Zhang YW/Biao C can be the dark horse. WD: Between Chinese pairs and Korean pairs. I give Chinese pairs the edge cause they got 3 really good pairs incl Yang wei/Zhang JW. MD: Markis/Hendra will win. Only Xu Chen/Guo ZD can be the dark horse here with Hwang JM/HSH. WS: Between 6 Chinese players and 2 Hong Kong players. But I pick Wang Yi Han to win it if she did not too tired after winning 3 titles in a row in 3 weeks including 2 SS titles. MS: Bao ChunLai if he is 100% back in form. Otherwise he will again be Mr Runner Up and Chen Long will win.
One could argue China alone is dominating...both Zhou Mi and Wang Chen are former CHN team members lol
Indian shuttler Kashyap Parupalli eliminates 7th seed Nguyen Tien Minh in 1 hour match, 21-19 ; 17-21 ; 21-11 and will take on another seeded player, Bao Chunlai in last eight tomorrow.
yeah, this is unbelievable!:crying: Zhou Mi [1][HKG] - [CHN] Zhu Jingjing 21-19 21-16 Zhu Lin [6][CHN] - [THA] Porntip Buranaprasertsuk 21-6 21-16 Wang Lin [3][CHN] - [MAS] Wong Mew Choo 23-21 21-16 Jiang Yanjiao[CHN] - [TPE] Chen Hsiao Huan 21-17 21-10 Wang Yihan [8][CHN] - [MAS] Wong Julia Pei Xian 21-9 21-16 Wang Chen [4][HKG] - [KOR] Kim Moon Hi 21-14 21-13 Xie Xingfang [5][CHN] - [TPE] Chiang Pei Hsin 21-16 19-21 21-14 Lu Lan [2][CHN] - [KOR] Bae Seung Hee 21-12 21-12
mas ms challenge in ABC has ended as kuan beng hong crash out in 3 sets21-16 10-21 21-13 to china's bao chun lai. meanwhile, boonsak's road in this ABC has been ended too as he lost to sho sasaki from japan in 2 straight sets. local favourite lee cheol ho and co also lost to their opponents.
No, it is very believable. It would be more unbelievable if any one the matches have the result reversed.
hmm, half agreed all the players who won their match are seeded player except JYJ. plus all players who lost are not seeded anyway.
Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting lost to Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung 20-22, 21-13. I don't think any pair besides DJ/YY can really bring down the Koreans at this point despite their "low" ranking.
Limsy, sometimes I really can believe my eyes, Kozai from Jap, is a junior player right? he can beat Chetan Anand and Ng Wei, but our Mjs, TCS cant. Thats the differents I would like to raise up here, You say we cant compare our juniors with those from Chn, ok its fair, but can we compare them with those juniors from Jap.....I think we are still far behine, whether in MS, WS, MD nor WD, MAS juniors are way behine. Mas still have to depend on HTH, LWF, OSH,...who are not junior anymore....this really worried and disapointed me a lot........sad...Mjs
