KKK/TBH World No 1 Pair next week

Thats good news. Hope they will do well.

 

Absolutely achievable. I know the chicken will hatch !

 

Wow Really unbelievable.. Feng Yun place in top 1 ranking has been sustain for such a long period... Its about time for a change..
BTW, KKK/should not get over by it.. They still have many chances in the future to be top of the world

 

When they are #1. I sincerely hope they can maintain as well as what FU/Cai did.

 

As chinese phrase : "To reach the peak of the hill is easy, but to remain it there it will be a process much more harder than climb to the Top." Hopes they will maintain it..

 

seriously how does the ranking work... kkk/tbh have won only one tournament in the past ages.... while cy/fhf won heaps.... yet they are under threat of being overtaken?

 

I fink nobody knows how the ranking points works exactly. KKK/TBh won more than 1 SS.. They are far more consistent than other pairs excluding Feng Yun only in the world at the moment..
They will overtake Feng yun soon if they remain this kinda forms.. But in 1 week time? I really doubts?

 

KKK/TBH won more titles than Cai/Fu this year, u should do yr homework 1st.

 

yeah, congrats to them if they can make it, hopefully they won't let it go to their heads again like after the AE and swiss open ....

 

whoa!! is this true? i cant wait for WC to see their performance!

 

Well, KKK/TBH started to collect IBF ranking points from Thomas cup, May 7th, 2006 which was more than 1 year ago.

Their individual ranking points from October 15th, 2006. Now they have a chance to achieve the #1 ranking if they do better next week than Cai/Fu.

But Zheng Bo/Gao Ling started to collect point January 21, 2007, this year. They already took the #1 ranking early last month (in a little bit more than 6 months), by playing only 7 tournaments. Comparing them, KKK/TBH have already played 10 tournaments (the maximum), and took 5 months more than Zheng/Gao to just have a chance to grab the #1 which Zheng/Gao already got last month.

Of course KKK/TBH are fabulous players, but unlike Zheng/Gao, they stopped rolling suddenly, don't know the exact reason behind. Hope they do well this time with their home court advantage.

Zheng/Gao seem not be as good as before either. They lost to Xie ZB/Zhang YW recently. Maybe Zheng/Gao is still as good as before, but Xie ZB is in a super form now, or just because Xie has recovered from his injuries as he claimed.

 

Eventually the winning streak of Gao Ling/Zheng Bo will end, just hope it doesn't happen on the main event like World Championship. Remember Kim Dong Moon/Ra Yuming was unbeatable and on route to win the Olympic Gold then the unpredicted outcome happened, they lost in early round :crying:

 

Lin Dan, Chen Hong, and Bao CL were other examples. They won everything and took top 3 positions in the ranking heading into Olympics, but all of them failed in early rounds, and all of them came from the same country.

 

So we can not judge players just by one tournament of just Olympics. Ji Xingpeng got gold at Olympics, Zhang Jun even got 2 golds, and swept all major titles, but it is still hard to say Zhang Jun were better than Kim DM.

 

Being #1 in the world ranking just a bonus, what's more important is to win more majors. Being WR#1 without WC or Olympic is not convincing. It's just like Roger Federer, being WR#1, without Grand Slams.

 

nah, cai/fu will fries them as scramble eggs for breakfast

 

Here is a survey...

How many of you here have ever said that Lin Dan ranking at world #1 for 3 years means nothing? If so, please do us a favor and slap yourself in the face

 

LD still will be considered incomplete w/o an OLYMPIC gold medals in his collections ! He remain on top for 3 years due to CHN send him to as many tournaments as possible during this tournament . LYB s good at statistic maths
