another day with exiting badminton is waiting for us, I hope we get another couple of thrilling matches, - and there is still hope to send back CN team with less than 3 titles , it looks good! There is still Tine fighting vs the Wang dynasty, good luck! just break the wall Taufik at his best again - Kidawan playing well - INA hopes are good- good luck boys, KKK/THB - if playing focused as they did in QF - they should play the final match - that will be Badminton as its best, I hope we get it!
I'm surprised TH can beat LCW and Park defeat Super Dan!! The tournament getting more interesting! I hope there will be new champion!
Prediction time!!! XD: Bo ZHENG [8] / Jin MA - Sung Hyun KO [12] / Jung Eun HA (head-2-head - 1:1) WS: Wang LIN [7] - Tine BAUN [4] (h2h - 1:2) XD: Sheng Mu LEE [16] / Yu Chin CHIEN - Hanbin HE [6] / Yang (F) YU (h2h - 0:0) MS: Jin CHEN [4] - Peter Hoeg GADE [2] (h2h - 6:3) MD: Kien Keat KOO [1] / Boon Heong TAN - Zhendong GUO [4] / Chen XU (h2h - 2:0) WD: Jin MA [1] / Xiaoli WANG - Shu CHENG [4] / Yunlei ZHAO (h2h - 3:3) MS: Taufik HIDAYAT [5] - Sung Hwan PARK [13] (h2h - 7:0) WD: Wen Hsing CHENG [3] / Yu Chin CHIEN - Jing DU [2] / Yang (F) YU (h2h - 0:7) WS: Xin WANG [3] - Shixian WANG [6] (h2h - 2:1) MD: Yun CAI [5] / Haifeng FU - Markis KIDO [2]/ Hendra SETIAWAN (h2h - 4:3)
Tine over Wang Lin Koo/Tan over Guo/Chen Ma Jin/ Wang XL over Cheng/Zhao and Peter Gade over Chen Jin. Thats all from me. Just to add: I picked Cai/Fu to win the MD title but did not watch them played so far. Markis/Hendra look sharp in todays match.
TH vs PSH is the only match in Semi without CHN representation.. although before this is the most secure one for CHN through LD/BCL But for all CHN still the most succesful Badminton Country by 11 representation for Semi in all of the category... Can't imagine how if they back home with empty hand, can you ???
Since Tine-WL match will be played first, the outcome of the match will determine the winner of WX-WSX match. If Tine wins against WL, WX will be sent to finals as WX has a more impressive H2H against Tine (4-0).
WX can play the grind-you-to-death game at a very fast pace that European players absolutely hate. so yes, i think WX is a better choice against Tine. but regardless of the outcome of the Tine game, i still think WX would win at her current form.

I'm finding it hard to predict matches. Some of them are too close to call. In the end it'll have to come down to hunches. Glad I only have 4 PAWs left
Wang SX is awesome. Look at the amazing scores: beat Salakjit PONSANA: 21-7 in 0:36 beat Jie YAO : 21-5 in 0:30 beat Saina NEHWAL 21-8 in 0:35 21-7, 21-8, 21-5 ...againt those bigger names... Wang SX is the brand new rocket just lift off. Wang Xin is also good, let me do some comparison: Wang Xin: older, more experienced, more calculated; with better relationship with manager and coach LYB and Zhang Ning Wang SX: younger; more energy and eager to win; their head 2 head are 50%-50%, while Wang SX has better winning percentage in the finals.
yesterday is a real retaliation day, what a wow! TH, PSH, WL, KooTan, GuoXu, FuCai, KiNdra are those who made it through... today's match prediction: MS: TH and PG WS: WL and WX MD: KooTan and KiNdra WD: ChengZhao and DuYu XD: ZhengMa and HeYu
Yeah the title should go to PG or TH...The Uncles A PG vs TH final would sooo great with the crowd cheering for his 2 Hero... I can't imagine what could happen if TH get his 2nd Wtitle 5 years later..
2010 BWF WC Semi-Finals: Will Park Sung Hwan defeat Taufik Hidayat? . For Du/Yu [2] to defeat Cheng/Chien [3], it could happen. But for PSH [13] to defeat TH [5], it would be most unexpected. .
