Lee Yong Dae/Ha Jung Eun meets Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir the 2nd seed in the first round. Tough match for both pairs.
Will history repeat itself?
Another CL vs LD semifinal? CL vs LCW final?
Okay, anyone notice WSX is same half again with Schenk for third time in a row ?? Last 3 results 2-1 for Schenk....
WSX must be cursing herself..........![]()
OK, just checked last year's result.....it was JOJ the MS winner not LD....
Then the script will be ....wait and see what happens in the other half, if LCW wins all the way to final, then CL will be the one to play with LCW again.
If, not LCW in the final....maybe LYB will directs LD to take the other SF.........![]()

Whatever it is , it means lousy sportsmanship. In fact LYB face is so thick that he once said "China should be proud that they have the luxury to do this tactical selection.
Recently there are too many withdrawal and "give ways". This problem is getting very serious lately and BAM is way too passive in tackling it. No good for the sport.
Should be ' BWF' not BAM...........![]()

What could we say???Other countries are not yet as strong as CHN both sports dominance and commercial potential for badminton.BWF knows they could not afford to ban or severely punish CHN under current situation, plus it is always difficult to pose strong evidence (if from a serious court processing perspective) to do so on this issue.I would pray for other countries to be more determine to produce more good players, so that the so-called LYB's plot would have no working context.Whatever it is , it means lousy sportsmanship.

WS defending champion Wang Yihan has tough path en route to final, starting from Bae Youn-joo (R/32), Eriko Hirose (R/16), Jiang Yanjiao (QF), either Saina or Tine at semifinal.
I think Tontowi/Liliyana have a good record with Lee/Ha.Lee Yong Dae/Ha Jung Eun meets Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir the 2nd seed in the first round. Tough match for both pairs.
