07 WC upset ranking

What abt Jie YAO's loss to Ella KARACHKOVA in 2nd round. It might not be the top 3 upset but at least top 10.
 
Both seeds 2 (LCW & XXF) & 8 (TH & YJ) lost in MS & WS.
Both LCW & XXF lost at the same stage with similar straight sets.
Both TH & YJ lost in rubber games!:cool:

What an coincidence!:eek:

Watchout for Kenneth Johannsen! He is playing very well and in superb shape. The way he demolished Wacha last night wowed me. This old horse may just win the title.
 
Official excuse on XXF's loss to WMC (from The Star)

Chinese chief coach Li Yongbo said: “My player came here to win but she failed to do so. The crowd played a big part in the Malaysian’s win today. Besides, Xingfang was not feeling well.”

Now we know :rolleyes:

Of course she is not feeling well. I saw eating KFC and munching away french fries at cafeteria 2 nights in a row, all by herself. Fastfood are bad for you girl.

How would u rank your list of upsets?

Biggest casualty was bananaboy became bananakid, hehe

Damn... how did u know what I think...:eek:
 
Page 3 in this thread now and no one mentioned the Korean pair beating JE/ML of Denmark ?

LYD/JJS beating JE/ML hardly constitutes an upset. Anyone who knows badminton know that this Korean pair is highly ranted and dangerous, and would have more titles under their belt if not for LYD's injury. On paper it may have looked like a 13th seed upsetting a 5th seed but in reality these youthful Koreans beat up an aging Danish pair.
