Simon in the same group with Michael who ? Never heard of him but he is in top 60. I thought he is outside top 100
Strongly disagree, there is also Simon Santoso, Peter Gade, Kenichi Tago and Shon Wan Ho. Not to mention Tien Minh Nguyen.
Ville Lang is a stroke player. LCW is not going to enjoy this warm up match.... And then he has to play Simon. His injury is going to cut open wide.
The way Ville plays mind games on court as well will not please LCW at all, although you'd still expect him to win.
. Indeed, assuming Simon and TH will out as group winner, both of them will face top two seed directly at knock-out stage...

Baun is not even in WX's half.. WX is considered redundant then; doubt she wll get past the QF. WYH has a good draw, she has no SJH/Schenk/Taiphoon to piss her off. LXR will deal with the all the dark horses in the tournament. Nehwal will fight neck to neck with Baun. Interesting!!!!
Tough challenge for CHN WS, they are all left alone to fight there own battles in waiting Sung to eat LXR, JS to dump WX & Saina to kill WYH if she over comes Bae Youn Ju
