Please read the first message again. We are NOT predicting next year's TC. Instead, we are having fun in analyzing the top-5 TC teams' current overall strength in this what-if scenario: What if TC is to be held this week.
Even though China are huge favourites against Malaysia, it is also possible for Malaysia to win 5-0. In doubles, a 2-0 whitewash is a possibility. LCW can possibly upset LD. Hafiz can yo-yo his way to a win. WCH is also hard to beat on his day. So, 5-0 is possible. Probable? No, probably China will win, maybe even 5-0.
The competition will end when the score is 3-0 unless they change the rules. Otherwise 4-0, 4-1 and 5-0 are not possible.
Lee CW vs Lin D (50-50) KKK/TBH vs CY/FHF (70-30) Muhd. Hafiz vs Bao CL (10-90) CTF/LWW vs XZB/GZD (80-20) Lee TS vs Chen J (40-60) not sure about 3rd singles.... might be new player... maybe roslin, wch, ykb, tcs, etc... but according to ranking now, LTS is the 3rd singles...
I posted the original message under a different thread as a reply but the moderator decided to create a new thread and move the message here. The title came from the moderator ("Thomas Cup Predictions" - never mentioned "2008"). It wasn't my original intention to predict TC'08's realistic results.
