All my predictions go wrong. It's going to be Tommy Sugiarto(INA) vs Han Ki Hoon (KOR)in the BS final, I think the former will be the winner. He may well be another Chen Jin, the 2004 World Youth Champ who creates waves in the badminton world in two years time? I think this is also the first time in the history of World Youth since 1992, that BS's title eludes the Chinese.
Gd? aren't pia/nitya good enough to take the title here? it was center in pelatnas that pia is a better player in double... correct if i'm wrong but pia used to refuse totrain in pelatnas as she was concentrated on doubles pia/nitya has never play in rubber sets in this tourny, they wins it straight sets for me it will be : BS : Ina GS : Chn BD : kor GD : INa XD : kor and in WS i still think chn are still stronger then india as she beat zhang ning last weeks?
I don't think Pia/Nitya can take the title. Unless they beat the top seeded Chinese pair today...otherwise, they are still not good enough. Pia wants to be a SINGLES player! They originally wanted her to play in doubles and she declined! She was enrolled into Pelatnas this year as a singles player!
Wah, you're so sure - TS won already before the match is played! You mean a walkover has been to TS? We understand that all Indonesians will want TS to win but so do all Koreans. What more, TS is playing in Incheon, South Korea not in Jakarta. Han Ki Hoon (seeded 9/16) came this far not for nothing and he was able to eliminate higher ranked players along the way. So I think you should not dismiss Han before he even steps into the court to face TS. For all you know, Han may surprise again! But on second thoughts, I might have misunderstood you. Maybe you meant TS won his SF, not the F yet.
i didn't mean that tommy won the tittle already in this tread.. i meant tommy won his match again the chinese li..... you are right on your second thought

as expeted by others... INA is not strong enough to catch up...:crying: good result though... as they have reach semifinal
Yup...an expected result after all since Pia/Nitya have lost to this pair in the team event last week. Tommy is up against HONG JI HOON, NOT Han Ki Hoon. Lu Qicheng beat Han Ki Hoon yesterday!
LU QiCheng You can pretty much expect to no longer see this Boy in the international scene. I don't see how a below China spec physique, standard skills & maxed out on the regiment training........ & still not good enough to win Asian / World Junior titles......... he's a gone case. Unless If I heard that his dad is one of the big coaches in china is true..... Being mean again. TBBMBB(N)
wang yi han defeated xie xing fang.. not zhang ning... XXF lost to WYH 2 times the last month alone..
If Lu QiCheng is a gone case, what about HAn ki hoon who he just beat?... i think he is satisfactory, but of course not as good as chen jin when he was a junior... losing to a son of a former world champion in a close fight isn't meaningless...
Wjc Finals 2006 BOY'S SINGLES Hong Ji Hoon vs Tommy Sugiarto (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- the burden is on Tommy as he carries the weight of a nation, anxious to see a new MS prospect! He has beaten some reasonable players like Ronald Susilo and recently Sairul Amar Ayob. He is lucky to have avoided the big guns (Kenichi Tago, Mohd Arif Latif, Han Ki Hoon) so far and managed to beat Lu Qicheng in their rematch. He's the favorite for the title tomorrow and I hope he delivers! BOY'S DOUBLES Lee Yong Dae/Cho Gun Woo vs Liu Xiaolong/Li Tian -- it will be a disaster if Lee Yong Dae doesn't win 2 titles tomorrow This guy should be BANNED from playing in juniors GIRL'S SINGLES Wang Yihan vs Saina Nehwal -- my mind says the Chinese player will win, but, my heart goes to the Indian teenager. Winning a title here will definitely see her rise up the ranks next year! GIRL'S DOUBLES Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli vs Hong Soo Jung/Sun In Jang -- surprise surprise as there's no ALL-CHINESE FINAL. The Korean pair has done well in beating Liao/Wang. However, it will be a surprise if they can beat the top seed. MIXED DOUBLES Lee Yong Dae/Yoo Hyun Young vs Li Tian/Ma Jin -- see above.
I highly doubt it lasted 170 min. There are only 77 rallies in the game. 170/77 = 2+ min per rally. That means, players might have like 100+ strokes per rally in average...
I agree with all your predictions =p Lee Yong Dae MUST take these 2 matches ! If Not ... what a shame lool Just Joking =) He's so talented that we put a heavy burden on him ... =) but I really like how he plays .. with class ! =p .. Geniius LEE YONG DAE !
Lol, BadMania, I love your comment about Lee Yong Dae being banned in the JUNIOR. Seriously, he is a monster as far as the junior is concerned. So young and talented. The next Kim Dong Moon/Park Joo Bong? Probably.
i see.. the chinese invitational was "world cup" so it's another "WC" haha she also beat XXF [FONT=Arial,]World Cup 2006 Wang Strikes Again 30 October 2006 Report by Raphael Sachetat, photos by Badmintonphoto.com Wang Yihan beat Xie Xingfang for the second time while Lin Dan outplayed his compatriot Chen Yu. Indonesia took the mixed and men’s doubles medals. [/FONT][FONT=Arial,][FONT=Arial,]If the world seems to fear hearing the names of the Chinese national badminton team, they may have nightmares when they realize that the worst is yet to come; her name is Wang Yi Han. Originally from Shanghai, this 18 year old is almost as tall (1.77m) as her opponent Xie Xingfang whom she beat at the finals of the Invitation World Cup 2006, this weekend in Yiyang, Hunan Province. [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,] [/FONT][FONT=Arial,]The first time Xie lost to Wang was a few weeks ago in the China Open held in the World Champion’s home town of Guangzhou. Xie had then blamed too many tournaments and fatigue. This week end, in the final of the invitational event called “World Cup” by the Chinese organisers, Wang did it again, winning in straight games, 21/18 – 21/19. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial,] [/FONT][FONT=Arial,]“She’s a very good player, has a strong attack and is never afraid of anyone even if she lacks experience,” said Wang’s coach, Tan Xue Hua. Part of the National team in spite of her young age, Wang however has never travelled much until now, but her results in China have proven her worth – she was the one who beat Pi Hongyan in the last China Open in 2005 before reaching the semi finals of that event. In Yiyang, she went two steps better and won her first International title which means she could be travelling more and more in the upcoming months.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,][/FONT]
