Based on the playing form of the players so far, I have to say that China is already guaranteed WS title together with the WD title they already won yesterday. As for XD, the signs are for the Korean World No 1 to take the title, probably playing against the Danish Fischer/Pedersen duo. Sorry, I don't think Nova/Lily is good enough given that they struggled a bit against Malaysians and practically given the game away by the off-form Indians. However, Danes aren't that stable too, it depends on how good Pedersen is playing. MS is a probable all-China affair, unless TH can show all his magic. So far he hasn't needed to use all his arsenal and it is difficult to predict his form. MD will probably see the end of the Malaysian challenge, and KOR and CHN to contest for the final. Koo/Tan still lack some belief and should have lost the q-final match yesterday, Koreans won't be so charitable. In fact Zakry/Fairuzizuan has a better chance of beating CHN.
100% agree MS: Chen Jin looks shaky in this tournament, meanwhile Taufik is in good performance. Lin Dan will prevail from Sony, since there is no gas left in his tank. WS: XXF rocks!!!! She definitely in form. There is only little chance for Pi to overcome Xie. Lu Lan seems on her peak performance too. and not to forget our insider info from Suetyan that Lu Lan is the best WS and very well prepared in training before WC MD: quite clear, Lee/Jung and Fu/Cai will prevail. MK/HS withdrawal surely helps Fu/Cai pathway to Final WD: My heart says ZTT/ZWW will win against BCers's favorit Du/Yu. Thay have good form and Du/Yu performance little bit shaky when agains Nitya/Greysia. Meanwhile Ma/Wang has impress me with their excelent performance for newcomer in World Championship XD: Denmark pairs has their golden day yesterday, but not for today. it is the time for LYD/LHJ to win and retirement issue will boost Nova/Butet motivation to win this match. Ladies and Gentlement, lets the shoow begin!!!
Though it is an absurdity, I am still making a daydream of having TH vs SDK in the final of MS..... I know it is difficult! But...not impossible!!
Agreed Yeah maybe this is the last chance for Nova to add WC gold collection under his belt As for Liliyana Natsir, she will pairing up with M. Rijal in the upcoming Chinese-Taipei Open GPG Hiaahh, Rijal kinda like playboy From Greysia-Vita-Now Debby and Lily Hope he finally able to find his soulmate I believe PBSI will reshuffle XD department and looking for the best combo Good Luck! (^_^)b

The two Danish couples are getting ready to board the first bus to the Stadium. Pedersen looks slim on close range, but not on court.
Bumpy ride to the Stadium, today we were escorted by security personnel. But someone has to, ahem, protect the girls, so I temporarily became Pedersen and Juhl's "personal security detail" on board.
Cheering groups.. Btw, i haven't read nor heard much about the cheering group of a particular squad. Are there a lot of M'sians cheering for the M'sian players? How abt Indonesian supporters?? Chinese supporters?? Korea supporters?.. I only notice a faint "M'sia Boleh" cheer in yesterday's match between LCW vs. Sony...
Eventhough badminton originally come from India, but i guess it's not quite popular there Hope in today SF and tomorrow Finale the stadium will full of crowd Too bad saina lose yesterday :crying: ... OMG, 3 matches in a row for INA players Hope they bode well I'm getting nervous now, Hahaha
Huge crowds are not expected from today onwards. Organizers are reducing prices to attract attention. Lily and Nova warming up on court. So do the tomboys of China.
