    Yup & Yup, very, very interesting, esp MD and WS.

    Lars/Jonas just beat Fu/Cai in MO 2008. CTF/LWW beat Fu/Cai in WC 2007.
    And the Japanese pairs are dangerous now, having beaten no 2 & no 3 seeds, their confidence will ride high.

    George, your hero & his gf is still in mah. Our MD, though sad, not really a great surprise.

    XXF, Kido/Setiawan's lost was more of a surprise

    What can I say, the Great Wall of China has crumbled. Things have not been going well for woman single this year.

    The woman champion is open for everyone at the moment. If Tine did not get knocked out before final, I think she might win although I do prefer Jae Youn or veteran Wang Chen to win it.

    2008 is a transition year for the china women team but bad timing, 2008 also the beijing OG year.

    Well...China is officially out of contention for the MD title :D
    INA still has that unstable pair of Luluk/Alvent. If they can somewhat beat Choong/Lee today, they might be the one smiling at the end. Let's see what happen today first....

    I wont bank my money on that either. CTF/LWW is also inconsistent, wont know when they will "switch off" mentally. However, Luluk/Alvent is unstable too. So i guess which is more "stable" will win the next match :p

    Didn't the Olympic Committee considers HK as a separate entity from China?

    haha, stock market must be dropping, that's why you are online now;)

    China considers HK as part of China! HK is a Special Administrative Region of China;)

    LOL...I have exited the market long long time ago, before the recent crash :p

    Friday is my rest day from teaching...so...I can entertain your banter :p

    I am not going to discuss lots of politics here :cool:
    I thought that's what I actually mean...HK is a SAR....not China :eek: Remember the one-country, two-systems thingy ;)

    BTW...u should be celebrating Wang Chen and Albertus/Yohan's victory today :D

    You must be waiting to go long on the market:)

    Pity Zhou Mi and Yippy are out. They've been getting a fair amount of coverage on TV.

    If Albertus get to the semifinal, I will be shocked indeed. It's really a pity that he hasn't had a doubles player that matches him quality to pair up with.

    Haha....hopefully :p I am waiting for the market to calm down before getting myself wet.

    I heard those professors and students at my alma-matter HKUST, who are badminton mania, got him or Yohan as a coach for them :D
