No major upset for the moment, Lee Chong Wei, Ronald Susilo, Agus Haryanto, Boonsak Ponsana all won in straight sets... Lee Tsuen Seng vs Björn Joppien to come later on...
Lee Tsuen Seng lost to Björn Joppien 6-15/15-7/7-15 VAUGHAN Richard beat JANG Young Soo 15-10/13-15/15-10,I think VAUGHAN Richard is a good form now.
Too bad, Lee TS can kiss goodbye to his TC berth. Perhaps he wanted to return Ipoh badly for CNY reunion dinner tomorrow!
I'm going for young gun Chen Jin all the way in MS!! He thrashed Pei Wei Chung 15-2, 15-0 in the first round!
I know two guys that are competing in the Thailand Open in Men's Singles, too bad they lost in the first round. One lost to someone from China and another lost to someone from Chinese Taipei.
Needing a few explanations!!! in WD, Thungthongkam is not playing with her usual partner (Chakrachangwong). Is it that she's injured? On their side, Novita & Nurlita were thrashed by unknown Thais Pokapipat and Charoenporn 15-1 15-3, has anyone got an explanation???
I think Lee Chong Wei have a chance to win, probably it will be difficult, if he give all like for the malaysia open some door will be open for him. syaoran

My picks: 1. Ng Wei 2. Lee Chong Wei 3. Ronald Susilo 4. Dicky Palyama 5. Park Tae Sang 6. Agus Hariyanto 7. Boonsak Polsana 8. Roslin Hashim
My picks: Ng Wei Lee CW Ronald Susilo Wiempie Dicky Palyama Park TS Agus Hariyanto Chen Jin Simon Santoso Chen Jin is the super dark-house of the pack. I'm betting on him to shock Boonsak.
Yes, Chen Jin might well beat Boonsak... but I still bet on the home crowd helping Boonsak secure the win!
Re: Needing a few explanations!!! The result has been corrected on the site : it's Novita & Nurlita who won 15-1 15-3! This seems more logical!!!
Number 7 on the list is gonna take it all! But seriously though, for a 1* tourney, the last 16 still features decent names - not really any bigwigs but certainly some fellas who make it into quarters of multistar tourneys. Guess it's all about those important Olympic qualification points!
It's 2*, as the prize increased this yr. Also, we the big names from the power houses are not here. It's good for the 2nd layers to shine, and gain some points for their ranking.
Shocking defeat in MD : Yim & Kim lost to Huang Shih Chung and Chien Yu Hsiun of Taipei 3-15 17-15 17-14!
