Adriyanti Firdasari will meet Zhou Mi at first round. Also hard chance for Devin/Lita, first round will take on Yoo Yeon Seong/Kim Min Jung and second round to face Olympic Champ, Young Dae/Hyo Jung.
I am afraid the INA players are going to return home without a title yet again, unless there's a major miracle. Looking at the draw, I don't think ANY INA players will even get into the Final MS Taufik Hidayat [4] R32 vs Chan Yan Kit R16 vs Pei Wee Chung or Andrew Smith QF vs Park Sung Hwan [6] or Wong Choong Hann SF vs Lee Chong Wei [1] or Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] Sony Dwi Kuncoro [5] R32 vs Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk R16 vs Chen Long QF vs Lee Chong Wei [1] Simon Santoso R32 vs Hsieh Yu-Hsing R16 vs Lee Chong Wei [1] MD Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] -- that is if they do go R32 vs Cho Gun Woo/Yoo Yeon Seong R16 vs Chen Zhiben/Shen Ye or Tao Jiaming/Sun Junjie QF vs Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun [5] Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [8] R32 vs Yoshiteru Hirobe/Hajime Komiyama R16 vs Kwon Yi Goo/Ko Sung Hyun QF vs Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki R32 vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [3] Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan R32 vs Rei Sato/Shu Wada R16 vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [3] WS Maria Kristin Yulianti R32 vs Q4 (likely to be Wang Xin) R16 vs Tine Rasmussen [3] Adriyanti Firdasari R32 vs Zhou Mi [1] WD Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati [4] R16 vs Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei or Shizuka Matsuo/Mami Naito QF vs Satoko Suetsuna/Miyuki Maeda [7] Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii [6] -- if Nitya's eye injury recovers in time R16 vs Jang Ye Na/Kim Mi Young QF vs Du Jing/Yu Yang [3] XD Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [3] R16 vs a JPN pair QF vs V. Diju/Jwalla Gutta [8] or Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam or Ko Sung Hyun/Ha Jung Eun SF vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung [1] Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita R32 vs Yoo Yeon Seong/Kim Min Jung R16 vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung [1] Hendra A.

No lin dan in this tournament but still quite hard for LCW to win this tournament though. 1st round agaisnt BP and if win, might play agaisnt ss or Hsieh of taiwan, then maybe another showdown with sony dwi kuncoro in the quarter
interesting, nova widianto is still with butet as a pair in this tournament. it seems like lee yong dae is going to participate in the xd category here?
Still, SDK stand in LCW's way in QF..............but this time SDK play as Defending Champion.........and have to face CL before LCW..... Interesting match...in round 2...SDK vs CL........first clash between this two...
Dato form lately hasnt been impressive... anyway I think his rival has start to pick up after *Some Rest* after OG08...
LCW has chance to meet all three INA MS or Only one or two INA MS has chance to meet LCW....!.............interesting facts....
I don't think Maria Kristin can beat Tine Rasmussen. Even against Wang Xin in the first-round, there's a high chance of her losing
What is Lin Dan's doing ? Is he still a badminton professional? What is he doing during those tournaments time? It doesn't make sense that he's training that time, he skips most tournaments, then training for what purpose? Dating? his date XXF will play in Japan that time, so that will open some time window for Lin Dan to date someone else. So dating is probably the most reasonable thing.
INA has got a perfect draw You think INA's bad draw because they would all meet the mighty LCW before final; and you are scared of LCW; and it's obvious that you think LCW are stronger than any INA players. Ok, If that's true, in order to win the title, INA has to defeat LCW any way. The best strategy to defeat LCW, is to let Simon (the lowest ranked) fight LCW first, at least make LCW exhausted, then send Sony (the guy always won against LCW) to take advantage over the exhausted LCW, if Sony accidentally fails, then Taufik would complete the job. The draw at Japan open provides the best strategy for INA to beat LCW, what can you expect more? By the way, if LCW cannot pass Bonsana in the 1st round, INA will dominate the upper half. So no matter what happens, INA has got the best chance to defeat LCW, INA has sucessfully gathered their best 3 to encircle and then besiege the final enemy LCW. This is really not the time of being scared. In fact, this is the only time they can see the dawn of the title.
