Continue to examine the impacts of the Malaysian Open to the Olympics qualifications.
It’s needless to say that Chen Jin blown a golden chance big time to grab some points last week at Korea, the only good news is likewise for P. Gade thus the gap between the two remains unchanged. Here is table at the top after KO last week;
From the latest draw, assuming LD is not too bother CJ should meet PG at SF but based on their recent form there is no guarantee that it is going to happen. My gut feeling is we wouldn’t be seeing another LCW vs LD match until the London OLY, if at all. Both players should and will cut down their commitments and focus on the big one in August. For the top half of the draw LCW should meet CL at the SF, I say 65/35 to LCW with the home advantage. On paper CJ should finish ahead of PG, Gade again has a group of youngsters in his quarter thus a SF place is not so certain. The only threat in CJ’s quarter is Jorgensen, first I don’t believe CJ will lose to him twice in a row and Jorgensen has Du PY and that other guy in the way before he meet CJ.
It’s also quite interesting at the lower end of the top 16 as well. There is about 1000 points between the two Danish guys chasing for the second OLY place and although T. Sugiarto at No 18 looks like that he is out of it but he should try to get in the top 16 just in case one of his team mate drop out for whatever reason.
