Starting at 1:00 PM WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting Followed by WS:XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning Followed by XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket Followed by PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu Followed by LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng My Prediction(in bold) your prediction?????????????
My predictions, winners in bold: WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting - Seed 1 will prevail. WS:XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning - ZN is not 100% in form, XXF is. XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket - INA pair has a better chance. MS: PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu - an upset pulled by BP again, this is a maybe. MD: LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng - what can I say, they already beat my fav CW/TG in semi. CY/FHF speed will also be too much for the MAS veteran pair to handle as CW/TG found out. But anything could happen.
gotta fancy boonsak for this one, beating LD is no easy feat and i think his confidence will be on a high.
i will definitely support boonsak.. jia you!! as for MD, i dunno who to support since i like cai yun n fu haifeng..but lee n choong is from malaysia..so, im gonna wait n c
XD: Saralee/Sudket VS MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy .. Good to THAI pair that not face world no 1 pair ... MS: PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu - I hope MAN can continue good form !! and win the title ...
my prediction: WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting WS: XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket MS: PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu MD: LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng
WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting - new CHN top pair very impressive so far Followed by WS:XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning Followed by XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket - THA girl need to reduce her errors at the net to overcome INA veterans Followed by PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu - What can I say? A strong defensive player who is also lightning fast ..... Followed by LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng - MAS defence and net attacks are so strong, can't see CHN pair winning this one.
wow, that's an interesting statement. i hope you're right, but judging by the form CY/FHF have shown so far, i think it'll be the MAS pair who are the underdogs.
All I have got to say is "Let's GO Gade!!!!! Let's GO!!!" Wait!!! Oh!!! NO!!! he lost already...:crying::crying::crying: My prediction ms: Chen Yu. Chen Yu has been playing very well so far this year... as far as super series ranking points is concerned, his performance is probably as good as LD, and CJ if not better overall. Boonsak defeated the recoverying LD on the road to the final, but don't over-look the fact that Chen Yu defeated the in-form Gade(whom defeated Taufik)... I still give the advantage to Chen Yu. Gade missed his golden opportunity to win another super series... any time he doesn't need to play against Lin Dan is already his golden opportunity. md: Cai/Fu will simply defeat the two old geezers from Malaysia... simple as that... and need no more explaination. Cai/Fu will make sure that Malaysia(without Koo/Tan) will all go home "GOLD-LESS". ws: XXF will prevail as she is in better form than ZN... no question. wd: YW/ZTT... they will make this one the "hat trick!!!" xd: Saralee/Sudket... Thailand deserves a title for once... although Flandy definitely would like to win another title Singapore title since he won it in md with Sigit last year.
Choong/Lee is on fire. Very confident play so far from the old dogs. If they can beat the younger and speedier Markis/Hendra in straight games, i dont see how they cannot match the chinese pair, it will be 50/50. Dont forget its Rexy/Choong/Lee against Cai/Fu hehe.
My prediction WD ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting WS XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning XD MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket MS PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu- if he can beat LinDan, why he can't beat Chen Yu..i will cheering for Boonsak Today...GO..BOONSAK...GO... MD LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng - Sure i will choose my countryman....GO CTF/LWW...MALAYSIA BOLEHHHHH!!!!
I am rooting for the thai XD and of course Boonsak to win.I think Sudket/Saralee deserve the title as i really impressed with their performance yesterday.They never give up although they facing the strong opponent.For MD,i will definetely hope CCF/LWW to win but i think the chance is 50-50 as i can see Cai/Fu are coming back from the previous Super Series from yesterday their performance.Since this is the best chance to win,they will give their best.So,CCF/LWW must really be in the best condition.Hope Mas can get at least one title.
my prediction WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting WS: XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket I support limpele/vita, but Thai pairs played very weel in semi, so I think they will win MS: PONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu MD: LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng
WD:ZHANG Yawen/WEI Yili VS YANG Wei/ZHAO Tingting -48% vs 52% WS:XIE Xingfang VS ZHANG Ning - 51% vs 49% XD:MARISSA Vita/LIMPELE Flandy VS Saralee/Sudket - 55% vs 45% MSONSANA Boonsak VS CHEN Yu -40% vs 60% Chen yu will get his first super serials title MD:LEE Wan Wah/CHOONG Tan Fook VS CAI Yun/FU Haifeng - of course I wish CAI/FU can win. 55% vs 45%
Ah, but u didn't see Choong/Lee in action in q-finals and semis, compared to them, CY/FHF had more trouble subduing their opponents. Defensively, Choong/Lee are more sound than Koo/Tan, they could even take most midcourt smashes from Kido. A long time ago, net attacks was a CHN specialty (during LYB's playing days), if MAS pairs wanted to beat CHN pairs, they had to push the opponents to the baseline.
In the interest of badminton development, I would love Boonsak to beat Chen Yu. Yet, Chen Yu deserves to win too, he has been in the background for too long. Time for China to acknowledge that he too is a tournament winner like Lin Dan, Bao and Chen Jin. That was one of the best defensive performances of all time, against a very strong and in-form Gade. I can only remember Ardy Wiranata's 1990 All England semis win over Wu Wenkai as equivalent. And we thought defensive style is obsolete in the 21-pts per rally system!!
Saralee/Sudket has the capacity to win XD, but Saralee is not too comfortable at the net, and in my opinion she roams slightly further back from the net than ideal (saw their match from side view yesterday). Noticed a lot of sitters she missed. The same problem affects Lee Hyo-Jung of Korea. Advantage Indonesia.
Looking at TF-WW played from ABC till now, I can categorically say they found a new 'lease' in their games. The ease in which they won over the INA pair has all the hallmarks of a champion pair (but of course !). For me to think that they can lose today would be absurd, and so my confidence says, they will beat FU-CAI today and head back to the hotel for a celebration. KKK-TBH, you still have to respect TF_WW (and I recall Rexy saying that TF-WW are still worth their weight some time ago when they were down.....good on you Rexy, you know good players when you see one).
