^^Off topic-For..^^ ..that match, i would probably give 1 win, or maybe 2 wins, for the All-Star team (Tine to win and maybe 2nd WD). To have a chance, i would put Tine as 1st Singles, then PHY then WMC. For WD, the KOR duo would go first, and either the TPE pair or the INA pair of Vita & Lilyana would go 2nd. Still though, at the end, i think CHN would still win.
I thought WMC can steal a pt from LL or ZL. Don't forget, WMC has beaten all CHN top players. The score would be 3-2 in either way.
On current for I don't think WMC can justify her position on this dream team. I still say you need to have Jun Jae Youn in the WS rotation
I'm sorry to exclude your favorite JJY from the squad... Yeah u could be right. JJY stands a better chance than WMC against LL or ZL based on the current form.
Hehehe, at least you have some respect for my fave JJY . Seriously though, if you read earlier in the thread, I proposed that KOR could well upset CHN if the stars aligned. I think they're the only team who can. You need only 3 points and JJY, HHY and Lee/Lee could deliver. Again, a very very very big if
Or.. ..if the moon somehow turns blue.... Anyway, all this talk about possible Uber Cup matches pitting the All Star squad vs. CHN's squad seems to point to the inevitable realization that the CHN's Uber Cup team is definitely going to retain their title, at least for this yr.....and that we will keep on dreaming and hoping when the day finally comes.........
in semis...it will be china vs korea and malaysia vs HK or japan... korea may win on first 3 match with 30% of chance...if not,they will never win if vs HK...wmc win=malaysia win as HK wd cant bet malaysia(even we let lydia and tee jing yi in 1st double and woon khe wei-sabrina in 2nd double) if vs japan...it will be close...and 2nd double surely win by japan...it will be a 50-50(as lydia and julia has beaten japanese atleast once)...if first 2 match win by malaysia,then it will be a 65-35% for malaysia... whoever win between japan and HK,it almost surely be a 3-2 or 2-3...with japan will sure win 2 wd and HK have advantage in 3 single...it will be stamina advantage for malaysia as malaysia win meet germany in quater if i am not mistaken...so...it will be advantage for malaysia as wc and zm are not as young as malaysian ws...all of them(wmc,julia,lydia are good in marathon match) so...i hope that malaysia can acheive a final appearence in Uber cup...it will be great and a lose of 0-3 to china are just nothing...
i think yes...it can happen...but it was more 'reasonable' if korea bet hongkong...and it was still more easier to hk to 'lose'...korea will win 2 wd(they wanna lost oso hard to happen)...so...hk just need to lost one ws match... if hk win over korea...it will be bye bye for malaysia in semis
just be realistic...we knew how depth is ours own country strength...hope and realistic is different thing...ina wd are strong...but ws are not... i am realistic that if korea meet malaysia in semis...it will be bye bye for malaysia...i also hope they will win... sure i know as an indonesian will hope their country won... hope and realistic are different thing...no offence
i think Malaysia should not put their hopes too high. Just let the players do their best this time and do not give undue pressure to the girls. Most of the squad are relatively young and it is tough not to crack under pressure. We just give them our full support and pray for success. If the girls can achieve a semi final target for now...it will be good booster morale for the Uber 2010 in Ipoh Malaysia then.
Jesus Christ! Just voted: China to win. No doubt. There are so many MAS and INA fans here! Seriously, when they are very lucky: Korea can at most take 2 matches (1st WD and one WS). INA 1 (WD: Lilyana/Marissa). DEN 1 (WS Rasmussen). MAS 0. So there is 0% chance that any of them can beat China.
OK, my take is Korea will not be runnerup, being in the same half of the draw as China. Japan cuties will be runnerup. Or maybe Malaysia/Denmark.
