Sadly, none of INA current WS player could keep any momentum (if there's any that is). The presence of our INA BC-members in Tokyo surely help a lot! I do hope INA can return home with at least 1 title.....we are hungry for SS title!
Slowly, but surely, we can see who will win the titles in MD and XD (especially). In MD, let's see if Rian/Yoke and AG/Alvent can take out Fairuz/Zakry and Boe/Mogensen. I am pretty sure Tony/Howard will progress to the SF. In MS, Park Sung Hwan, Bao Chunlai or Peter Gade will be the biggest threat! If Taufik can eliminate Park tomorrow, then left only 1 that will prevent an INA victory in MS!
If Thomas/Kamilla are still in their WC form (and I'm sure they are), INA's chance to get XD title is pretty low... I think our biggest chance is MD (Kido/Hendra). Provided the pairing already back to 3rd gear, no problem with Kido's knee, and other X-factors are in INA's favor. Gotta win it. Don't care if 'someone' comments "Kido/Hendra can only win titles when 'a pair' doesn't participate." HJM/SBC, Boe/M'sen, Fuzzy, and Howard/Tony are no small meat... Uncle Taufik, beating army-look PSH? Well, good luck for him. I doubt Taufik can do much against MS Top 10...
i think everyone forgot NTM who just give us so many surprises, i think he make us a big surprise in this tournament! go NTM
Taufik took a long rest and he did not fool around last days, all done in 2 games, so he should have enough power for left over days. Let him go on top again, it's uncle's time again!
Has Taufik ever lost to PSH? My impression is that all recent encounters, although quite close, are won by Taufik.
TH should be fresh enough to take care of PSH. Besides ,this might be his chance to win a SS title. Yonex would be delighted to have a one-sleeved champion on the podium! Looks like the ones who played CM first lost out to the ones just playing JO. Probably a TH vs NTM final.
anyway taufik so far so good, good rangking and always got semi finalis, go to taufik and get all england, be a legend
