It is difficult to say. LXR has enough ability to upset WYH again. To me LXR will overtake WYH in the near future. She only needs more experience.
Li Xuerui...unstoppable at the moment....so far i think only one player has ever stretched and troubled her that far...that is Taiphoon.......she has become almost invincible since..
LYB was a double specialist. How come China didn't produce enough good doubles under his watch? Instead, he goes on to produce lots of MS, WS etc blockbuster movies.
Finals' matches that I'll watch: CJ vs DP: Should be 'fun' Just wanna see how it goes, how would the audiences 'reacts'...maybe DP would go into rebel mode and win it? WYH vs LXR: I pick WYH. Kim/Kim vs Endo/Hayakawa: Real match of the day. And the Koreans pairs were superb yesterday.
Unlike China who will put their best players to play singles, Korea always like to put their best players to play doubles..
I am a Chinese, but I am a fan of badminton first. I cheer for LCW. I wish he won more titles. However, on LD's WO today. I don't feel bad at all. The rule was not fair to China at all to start with. Why Jamica can send as many 100 sprinters as they want to Olympics? Let the best player to go to Olympics, period. Olympics is an individual event, not a competition among contries. If Chinese players are good, they should go to Olympics. They have 6 players in top 16, then let them go. All the rules are targeting China. Badminton committee treats it as a team event, then China responded as a team. WTF is worng with that? People , wisen up! Let the players compete freely in the world, that's the only way to stop this kind of artificial WO.
People, you have to admit the facts. Chinese badminton is bigger than the rest of the world combined. Just like their table tennis and diving. Chinese badminton will do very well by itself without, but the world badminton would be a joke without Chinese players. Think about NBA, they don't care about Olympics at all (things are changing a little nowadays). In order for us the watch the best badminton, you just have to let the best players to play. Wang Zhengming, Du Pengyu, even Bao Chunlai should all got to Plympics. Does Tennis have the rule that one country can only have 2 players to go to Olympics unless they have 3 players ranked in world top 4? No wonder badminton is not as popular as tennis. They don't let better players to play.
