Here's the schedule : Long Chen vs Chen Jin Yanjiao Jiang vs Shixian Wang Koo/Tan vs Ko/Yoo Tian/Yu vs Maeda/Suetsuna Shin/Yoo vs Lee/Lee
China vs China (li ning) in MS China vs China (li ning) in WS Malaysia vs Korea (yonex vs victor) in MD China vs Japan (li ning vs yonex) in WD Korea vs Korea (victor) in XD
MS Chen Long vs Chen Jin I would rather have Chen Long take home his first SS title, but I think Chen Jin is going to win this. This is Chen Jin's chance to prove that he can win titles without Lin Dan, even though he might have been 'helped' by Du Pengyu so he could be prepared to face Peter Gade, even though it was Chen Long in the end. CHN No. 2 vs CHN No. 4 WS Jiang Yanjiao vs Wang Shixian The Russian and the Korean failed to prevent an all-CHN affair in the finals. I think WSX will pick up her third super series title here. MD Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Ko/Yoo KKK/TBH should have no problem beating Ko/Yoo after they dumped MB/CM in 2 sets. They should win in straight sets through the whole tournament. Hopefully they don't get too overconfident which might result in a big upset. WD Tian Qing/Yu Yang vs Maeda/Suetsuna I think the scratch pair Tian Qing/Yu Yang will take home this one. Maeda/Suetsuna might not be good enough, although I hope they will win their (first?) Super Series title. XD Shin/Yoo vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung I don't know what to predict of this all-Korean final. Lee Yong Dae has an injury but it doesn't seem to prevent him from winning matches. Hope no matter the outcome, Lee Yong Dae gets a good rest.
There's nothing pretty about JYJ's game; that's why no one cares to watch. She's the female CJ and the most polished Chinese WS player currently, and her game is Anti-WSX.
Its a bit disappointing not to see Wang Yihan in the final, but i hope Wang Shixian can win tonight! 陈金加油 !
Does anyone know when the matches start? Tournament Software still doesn't have that info. Information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Agree, most of yesterday's matches, they used too frequently an angle where you don't see the whole court. The smashes from baseline were cut off from view. Whoever in charge of this obvioulsy doesn't watch the game on TV.
And they switch between the two teams... showing whoever was playing the shot. So hard to focus. But later they stuck to the standard back of the court angle. Hopefully they start at the right time so that the MD & WD match does not clash with the MU vs Liverpool match. The rest of the 3 matches does not excite me.
errr ..what's AE? yes, that the angle that I hate the most. why did they do that? it's very annoying the 2nd one is the angle from very very far away .. well my tv is not that big so I just saw people jumping and running around
man U vs liverpool start at 9.30pm. so if WD is the first or 2nd match and MD is the last match, you don't have a problem. IF the match start at 7pm that is.
See 1st post for the schedule by Thom_bad. No details in TS. Yesterday, the matches started at 8.00pm. I doubt it will start at 7.00pm 'cos it's too early in Basel.
I'm gonna predict.. ..after today's Finals matches are done, this thread will have less than 10 pages..
