Another stunning tournament of predictions for me. I can potentially go 1/5 if Tine Rasmussen doesn't avenge her 2009 defeat to Wang Yihan!

I'd love Gade to win it but I just don't see it. He's the best non "Elite" player on the tour but can he beat Lee Chong Wei and/or Lin Dan?
His route would be:

I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and say that Peter Gade is going to take this year's AE Open! He said on his Facebook page that he has chosen this as one of his main targets for this year, and he is feeling really well prepared.
Otherwise, I'm in agreement with [...]
