    Nova/Lilyana are more stable vs Gao Ling/Zheng Bo, any matchup between them, I will pick INA.

    Unfortunately, they are not so stable vs Europeans, esp. Danish pairs.

    In turn, Danes are hopeless vs CHN.

    In the end, maybe Clark/Kellogg could surprise if Kellogg can hold her temper.

    Allegedly so. They have done some quite bullish interviews recently so yes.

    It certainly has the potential for a great match, and because it is the first round and people do not know where they both are form wise the anticipation is killing me!

    It's a shame that the finalists from Athens (except for Zhang Jun) are now first-round rivals :(

    Zheng Bo is no Zhang Jun - but, on paper, the Chinese duo is likely to prevail.

    However, one aspect could change this equation in the British pair's favour - their amazing and eerily intuitive on-court interaction ;)

    If, on that day, the instinctive communication lines between Emms and Robertson work fine, there will be no stopping the British pair :rolleyes:

    Can't measure Emms/Robertson's form, they've been out so long. Match fitness could play against them. I would rate Clark/Kellogg as better prepared.

    One thing I worry most from Nova/Lily is their consistency. Especially Nova.

    It's just, well, when I think he'll lost, he wins (latest example: SIN SS). However, when I expect him to win, he loses (latest example: INA SS).:mad::eek:
