Chen Hong's back? wow, so much for his 'retirement'.... hehe.... looks to me he still wanna have a shot at winning the Olympics...
I agree with you. CH position is best, no pressure no high expectation for a very good player still at his prime, and in a "retired" position, and without LD and BCL participating. Yeah, I put my coin bet in him to reach the final if not winning the whole thing. I confess I am bias cos CH is one of my favorite player, LOL!!
hafiz might beat chen hong ???? its a possibility what ... not that i say its a sure win for hafiz .... i said 'might' ...... but anyhow i also would prefer a chen hong vs taufik final !! my 2 most favourite player ..... since Herianto Arby.... not interested in any others watsoever .... cos i like to play like them .. hahaah onli thing is i dont have the physical like them ... maybe i can last like 1 match playing like them .. then its type punchure hehee
is he reli playing?? wads da point of retiring den..... i will be more happy if he teams up with XXZ for MD hahahah
Precisely ! It was because LCW never had a chance after a long break that I now think anyone away from competition for a while will have no chance. He had to be real motivated to practice hard on his own, which I think is normally not the case. Competition gives you an edge to be be sharp -- but of course, if we play too much, it will take the shine of you.
Draws will be conducted online by BAC on 2nd April 2007 at 1600hrs Msian time. Really????? Today?????
Yes, the draw is out....I dont see Chen Jin in the list...only Chen Hong and Chen Yu....Lee Chong Wei is the 1st seed, Chen hong the 2nd seed....So unfortunate...LCW have to face TH in the quaters...Chen Yu in the Semis..:crying: .....alll the best to LCW...In MD...Choong/Lee 1st seed, KKK/TBH the 2nd Seed......there is no notable pairs from Indo....only 2nd. liners....OSH/TBS will face KKK/TBH in the quater.. ...... U can check the draw in www.badmintonasia.org.
based on the latest performance of all chinese players, ill say china doesnt need him to win.....they have the top 4 MS (reality, not based on ranking).....without LD, CHN will stil b sufficient enough to survive a gold anytime. unless when TH is in his top form, then LD is the only one who has a higher percentage of winning against TH.
forced to retire ma.....CHN has too many talented players around........XXZ n CH are the innocent sacrificial victims in order to promote younger players. CH or XXZ should play for other countries.....
Ya...just see the draw...Its seem like Chen Jin is not participate...But however,LCW road to final is very difficult...The draw is bad for him...Taufik and Chen Yu will be waiting for him in the quarter and semis.With his current form,it is really difficult.For KKK/TBH, they can win if they able to beat most of their teammates because there are no top pairs in this tournaments.Well, may the best win.
By the way, Chen Hong wife Ku Pei Ting is playing in the womens double...No wonder he also participate..
Chen Hong will strive to win this to prove that he is still one of the top ones....coz it's his 1st appearance after announcing his retirement plan........
HH might find it difficult to win CH. as HH himself said, losing is ok, as long as we lose in style..
ya ya.....mati tak ape, gaya mesti ade......the yoyo style!!! LCW will be taught of this slogan as he joins the dark side of the power......
Nope, I think you will be wrong. I am putting my reputation on the line when I say the 'yo-yo' king as you called Hafiz will be in the Final. It will either be him or LCW as the champion.
