Yonex BWF World Championships 2011 - Semifinal Predictions

An off color Saina Nehwal lost in the quarterfinals to Wang Xin of China. Saina didn't look comfortable at all and surrendered rather meekly. An unfortunate result for India as Saina was looking good till this match and a lot was expected of her.

Anyway, lets move on. Here are my predictions for the Semifinals today -

Xin WANG [3] - Yihan WANG [2]

Chong Wei LEE [1] - Jin CHEN [6]

Shao Chieh CHENG [7] - Juliane SCHENK [9]

Qing TIAN/Yunlei ZHAO [5] - Jwala GUTTA/Ashwini PONNAPPA

Peter Hoeg GADE [3] - Dan LIN [2]

Yonex BWF World Championships 2011 - Day 4 update and Day 5 predictions

100% on my prediction made here for a second day running!

Today's predictions -

Saina NEHWAL [6] - Xin WANG [3]
Haven't seen Wang play yet as none of her matches were on the "show" court. Saina has been in exquisite touch and I think should be able to pull this one off too.

Vita MARISSA/Nadya MELATI - Jwala GUTTA/Ashwini PONNAPPA
And the dream run for the womens doubles pair continues! I tip Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa to win this encounter as well.

Some other predictions -

Hongyan PI - Yihan WANG [2]
I think Pi Hongyan will pull this one off! Lets see.

Juliane SCHENK [9] - Tine BAUN [5]
I think this is going to be a close affair. Probably the match to watch out for. Will be a long and close match. Again both have not played on the "show" court so its tough to choose the winner. I will probably go with Juliane though.
