Because LYB is pretty sure that with the "assisted ones" BCL stands no chance against LCW. We have all seen it in the most recent French Open.
i agree with you. she should consider pulling out from HK open. she needs a break. she can now conentrate in bringing more glory to our country during Sea Games in Korat.
well, at least Malaysia won an event. It has been a long long long long.... time since the last person won a ss event like tournament. Well done to WMC. Lei Hou yeh!!! Keep up the good work.
Congratulation to WMC!!!!.This is the most exciting WS i've ever saw in this year.Her hardwork,determination and never-die-attitude really worth it.The way she play today is totally awesome.The shuttle kept coming back to XXF court...BRAVO GAL..i'm proud with you!!!

WoW, INA grabbed 2 titles in SS tournament for the first time. And first SS title for both Kindra and Nova/Lilyana. Well done and keep moving to next stop, HKG SS! Once again, unexpected result for China WS squad. WMC fighting spirit is so amazing, her fairytale story in Panda Land similar with Tine Rasmussen happy ending episode in Tokyo. Yeah, MAS must be proud of her. Congratulations! Overall, seems this CHN SS is full of controversy, hopefully next time should be better and more professional...
I believe this win is a classic for WMC. One a life time possibly. Beating so many top players on the way to victory at their own turf is no easy feat. Lets do the dance. (Seen Evan Almighty?). You cool?
i think the best way for the badminton games to be clean n fair, we must like tennis, that gt technology system 1... can threat the ball in or out..
About XD, I'm happy that Sudket/Saralee are back in the mix. Did the disappear for a while or were they just unsuccessful getting into later rounds?
A GOOD ONE!!! Let's not forget and learn from here... DONT BE LIKE CHINA! Is a shameful act of Terrorism towards BADMINTON! Li Yong Bo please dont kill the game we LOVE!
Nobody wanna see it! People want JUSTICE… We love the game & we wont let THIS INJUSTICE spoil the game image !!!! If this continue BAdMINTON might be booted out of Olympic next time!
