If without INA,CHINA, KOREA , DENMARK TOP MD pairs they still can't win.. i have no more comment to add!
ahh, now i know the reason why she's not here. According to badzine, she just had a knee surgery.. all the best to her and hope she can come back strongly..
BWF redrawed MD and XD yesterday. Finding in XD, two INA pairs will compete against CHN in first round Tontowi/Liliyana vs Xu Chen/Yu Yang (if Tontowi/Liliyana win, I think they have big chance to go at least to SF) Nova/Vita vs Tao Jiaming/Qing Tian (how good will old pair play? let's see)
Yeah, i think Tontowi/Lilyana has big chance to cruise to SF.. Hope they can win the title.. Meanwhile if Fran/Pia can pass R1, hopefully they will avenge their heartbreaking defeat in Asian Games to He Hanbin/Ma Jin! Nova/Vita vs Tao/Qing should be a tricky first match!
Felt pity for the japanese pair of reiko/ikeda.. after redraw, they still have to up against the 1st seed of xd, sudket/saralee in the 1st round..
It might be hard, but it is not beyond their ability to defeat this Japanese pair. You should be more concerned with CPS/GLY who has to meet their bogeymen Fran/Pia in the first round, they lost twice in hard fought rubber games to this pair already... hope they can turn the rubbers around this time!
I will be surprised if Ko sung hyun/ Yoo yeon seong can't win here In their last meeting, Ko/Yoo bt Koo/Tan and Bona/Ahsan straight set
It should be BAC champion. Badminton Asia Championship. Not Asian Badminton Championship. See : http://www.badmintonasia.org/event_details.aspx?eventID=216 They keep changing the names.
They are not prepared, not now. It will be hard for them to prepare and get motivated in such a short time to win the Malaysian Open title. I would give them some time to perform well (not necessarily win), like maybe AE Premier or the WC later. I don't think they will win in the Malaysia Open nor the Korean Open.
Why ?.........They have lost to all 2nd MD from Chn, INA and KOR...even some Jap pairs are capable of beating them ......... I dont see why we shd optimistic in their chances of winning MO 11..........at least for now !
