As predicted, the draw is to be re-drawed due to the CHN team's withdrawal, here is the link: www.internationalbadminton.org/tournamentcalendar_event.aspx?id=2199&calendarid=73
In the Re-draw, there is a mistake in WS.. Instead of " BYE", it should be "qualification".. Eventhough, Chinese MD are still listed..I do not think Xu Chen/Quochendong will make it unless they will arrive at Odense on Tuesday afternoon.
Yup, especially for Firda Against Sophia Hansson at first round, possibly Elizabeth Cann at R/16 and either Saina Nehwal or Eriko Hirose at QF, likely Wang Yihan at SF.
Wow, Flandy Limpele change his xd partner again,...this time with Britta Anderson....after partnered with Anatasia Rusikh, CWS, .... Gan Teik Chai is now partnering Anatasia Rusikh, hope he wont 'bleeding thru nose'....hehehehe
OK, Limsy's post is always very 'deep' and not for a 'shallow' person like me to understand......i think...!
Britta Anderson back in international scene with a non-Danish, Indonesian partner. Talk about a deeper Mixed Doubles, hehe
Shintaro Ikeda and Reiko Shiota will be playing. Sadly they are in the plain Qualification Round. Hope they have the "hads" to make into the main. And then if they make it to the finals and win, that would be a big Banzai!
who's gonna meet Kidawan on finals day? which Malaysian pair will pick up the runner up seat? Fuzzy pair or triple K and partner??
As much as I want KidRa to win the title, I don't think we should predict they'll go all the way to final. It may jinx 'em.
Very good and as expected..and my 3 sens.. ..looking at the re-draw: - I could foresee a Gade vs. SDK MS Final. Gade is out to defend his MS title. - The Danes have a very good chance of capturing the XD title, arguably their best event, esp. with the absence of CHN's top pairs. Fischer Nielsen & Pedersen are back to defend their title. - We could see another rematch between Tine and WYH for the WS title. - The MD title is up for grabs. INA's Kido & Setiawan are out to defend their title. But have a tougher road as they'll likely face Boe & Mogensen and Clark & Anthony if they are to be in the Final. - The WD title is also up for grabs. MAS' WPT & CEH are out to defend their title.
MS: what about Simon who had beat Gade before. MD: Guo Zhengdong/Xu Chen may be ready to win WD: what about those 2 Zhangs from Macau?
^^Yes..^^ ..what about them??.. Are you asking : Could all of them spring us a surprise here & there??..My answer is sure they can..
