How many of the current world No 1 will be world champion by 16th Aug?

[AlanY]

My guess is NONE, just can't see it.

[limsy]

we should have a poll here^^
uncle oldhand
and made it sticky

[PoLLuX]

My guess is NONE, just can't see it.

I 99.99% agree

[jasonmarc]

MS LCW WR1 .......No

WS ZM WR1 ........Dont think so

WD CEH/WPT WR1.......very unlikely

MD MK/HS WR1...........but LYD/JJS just too strong

XD LYD/LHJ WR1.........probably, but depends on LHJ...

My guess is 0 or 1

[AlanY]

This is how I voted for the winners in the polls.

MS - Lin Dan is head and shoulder above the rest and a big match’s player.

WS - Xie Xing Fang, watched her recent final against Zhou Mi that she lost. She is still the best around in terms of both technically and tactically. The only problem is the lost of motivation thus form since she lost the Olympics Gold, although some would say that she won the Silver. Anyway, to win the World Championship is one way to pick herself up and back on track of her excellent career.

MD - Anthony Clark & Nathan Robertson, just gut feeling and would be last chance saloon for them.

WD - DU Jing & YU Yang, the more experienced pair over their younger teammates.

XD – it will be between ZHENG Bo/MA Jin & HE Hanbin/YU Yang. I’ve picked HHB/YY again for their big matches experience.

I 100% agree I guess NONE of the world no. 1 will win

I pray for this.....

[abedeng]

I agree wholeheartedly, it is up to the World No 1s to prove us wrong ..... wakakakaka

MS - World No 1 will be upstaged by Olympic Champ, who in turn may be "comprehensively defeated" by his World No 2 team mate

WS - World No 1 might not have enough steam to destroy the juggernaults from her home country

MD - World No 1 still on 3 good knees, not enough knees to outgun the opposition

WD - World No 1 make an early exit against recovering Olympic Champs

XD - World No 1 seeking the magic formula to beat their bogeys

Let's wait and see whether all the world number 1 in those 5 categories can prove u guys wrong

It seems no one believes in Bao Chunlai anymore.
Um, I wouldn't leave him out of these MS equations

Yeah, sounds interesting. CHN shuttlers dominate top-position of WC polling except MD. Will it describe 2009 World Championships outcome?!

[ctjcad]

...positively, certainly, definitely, unquestionably, absolutely, unmistakably, no doubt about it, 120% sure that will happen???..
