Why Malaysian? Not INA or THA. Two MAS MS made the big jump of reaching QF in SS, not courtesy of walkovers but by taking out more experienced world class players. That s major progress and nothing to be ashamed of but all to be proud of.

the attendance and crowd presence is very poor... just look at all those empty seats, I'd pay a substantial amount just to see this matchnot to mention being in the Quarter final stages, being a Super Series event and in a relatively popular game in Singapore...I remember in Australia Open... a Grand Prix event, had HEAPS more people in the QF in contrast... and the sport is no where near as popular there as Singapore

How big is your stadium, the capacity, 10,000? Part of the problem may be Singaporeans take their work more seriously than Aussies. Usually the crowds come in during semi and finals. But I m not complaining. There s more fresh oxygen and freedom of space. More importantly, most of the matches are high quality and competitive and none are fake, even for INA vs INA or THA vs THA...but really, we can t compete with the ongoing EURO 2012, can we? Even the shops and streets are quieter...

because from early years only rely on LCW one man army, now with LCW under recover from his injury, it is the best time for MAS back up players like DL and CWF to proof themselves in world class level...

I think China Masters will take place in september this year.. Last year 4 out of the world top 5 players where all playing Masters, inluding world no.1 Lin Dan.

do you think they'll all play there this year though? It's just after the Olympics. Many will retire, some might take time off for a break, I can't see it being that busy. Expect some lesser players or those that weren't at that Olympics to win...

Wow, now you can t wait to flaunt the new world no. 1 Lin Dan. Remember , he s not interested in being WR1? By the way, it s more like a CHN players SS. It s not world class. Not all the top non-CHN players turned up.

Oh. Right. Not world class because LCW didn't play. Of course. Seriously if you want to bash something at least have a good example to use.

No matter how you cut it, the field is stronger than this year's SG Open.
