And last but not least, the XD draw.. ..(courtesy of internationalbadminton.org)..for those interested.. XD draw-
Random ramblings... - With his contraction of Dengue Fever, I'm not sure TH will clear WCH. - LD will be severely tested by PSH. Not something LD wanted so early. - Fu/Cai are presented with an easy path to the SF. - MD draw is chock full of exciting matches. - Classic encounter between GL/ZB and GE/NR on the cards. - ZN faces a stacked draw in her half, including JJY, PHY, WC and Tine Time for people to reassess their predictions. I certainly will
Hmm.. ..to the Semis, yes... ..but not necessarily an easy path for Fu & Cai to the Finals, IMO (a few of BCers thought the same also). If CTF & LWW can survive through their rounds, CHN's top MD pair will most likely meet their arch-nemesis before the Finals (and we all know how their matches had been recently). Yeah, CTF & LWW's 1st round match is definitely going to be one heck of a battle; but i'm going with the vets in this one. Even Luluk & Alvent have an outside chance of going quite far (they've been almost un-noticeable).. But yeah, concur with the MD excitement.
Fight for olympic! Gosh!! What a incredible tough path for Koo/Tan in order to get into final! Anyway, hope they can manage to do well! My dream match for men single suppose to be LCW vs. Bao. Hope they wont take me down!
There will be tons of exciting encounters on the first day already. KJ VS LHI - Very bad luck for the Danish veteran. I wished him to make it to the SF, but he is not likely to pass LHI. SD vs PB - not easy for either of them. TH vs WCH - Again, bad luck for the veteran. LCW vs Ronald - Another first round miracle would fail BC's hope for reaching 1 million posts during OG. RN/EG vs ZB/GL - wth, first round???? MD is craziest - every seeded pairs is facing a tougher first draw than the non-seeded. WS - XXF has a better paths than ZN, but TR looks bright to enter the final too. I think we can expect some major upset on first day.
Guess who's this player??.. ..i think we probably can guess who she is....and esp. madbad... And guess when was this pic taken??..
I hope she can regain her pre-injury form quickly. I'm calling for her to upset the inconsistent ZN in R16
Hahaha, you hit the nail on the head. 1 million posts on BC will hang heavy on LCW's shoulders. Do you think we should pile the pressure on him by letting him know??
Could see another 1st round embarrassment from our MDs......... Guys, man up plz! Esp KKK/TBH, i think Rexy will quit right away if they lose to the Japs again.........
what if, mens singles draw seem abit the-usual-draw we usually see. IF, Lin dan beat PSH IF, Chen jin beat taufik.H IF, Bao CL beat Lee chong wei it will be an all chinese final. My prediction: tough match for lin dan vs PSH>> lin dan will go through and most probably take it there from chen jin. I hope, Lee chong wei will be able to win Bao CL. this match will be even exciting either. Mens FINAL: LIN DAN VS LEE CHONG WEI (most desired match to watch) hope they play as if there wont be tomorrow to me, i dont see which will be the eventual winner. it will depend on how they play on the day itself.. and finally, both are already winners and top of badminton since both have reached the finals.
Don't understand what is this? Do you mean all Korean will grab gold medals? Ok, you can dream on....
He he, Fu/Cai lost to JE/ML in 2004 OG (since ppl are comparing Susilo's win over LD in 2004). Although they're the oldest pair, the Denmark uncles will still be fresh in 1st round, so we never know. But yes, MD has the most exiciting matches coming up.
Speaking of indra.. ..we're still awaiting his prognostication on who the winners will be... (gosh, i hope he won't jinx them)...
