Fast predictions for the finals

WD: Zhang Yawen/ Pan Pan
Kamilla and Lena have done well in the last two matches, however it has been long and tiring matches, and today the opponents are chinese. The two danes have only beaten one chinese pair in their career, Pan Pan and Qing Tian. Today Pan Pan has a new partner - a world champion, and that seems to me as the deciding factor.

WS: Tine Rasmussen
Rematch of the final in this years All England where Yihan won. In my opinion she was in better shape back then, but that might go for Tine as well. However I think Tine has raised her current level during the last four games she's played. Yihan has also raised her game but I still give Tine the edge.

XD: Joachim Fischer/ Christinna Pedersen
Joachim/ Christinna lost the last encounter in Liverpool, but they were really nervous then, and they've improved a lot since then. Donna Kellogg is probably the key to the match. She can play extremely well, and she can look as if she was just bypassing the Arena and borrowed a racket from someone ;-)


MD: Carsten Mogensen/ Mathias Boe
If both pair is at top level I'd go with Malaysia. This week the danes have looked more ready, like they want to prove that the last couple of month lacking results is over. Tan/ Koo scrambled into the quarters where they easily beat Lars/Jonas and the semi was also an easy match.


MS: Simon Santoso
Simon looks to be the better player of the tournament. He has been quite impressive so far and hasn't conceded a game. Zwiebler was lucky against Hafiz and is on a roll, but his victory yesterday was against a Sony that was struggeling, who didn't have the speed required throughout the game. When he had it it was actually quite easy for him to neutralize the german attack
