anyone who watched the match can tell me why? plz :crying: :crying:

actually we can see it from the first round when they beat m'sia junior pairs with two close sets,and then they beat polli/rizal with close set in the rubber.however I still hope they will perform good in Indonesia SS

actually nova/butet is still better then zb/gl, they lost to zb/gl becos butet was injuredor not 100% fit

555 good reason taufik-ist, but i'll believe u if they can win this title

@kioskla:

you started finding excuses for zb/gl's lose :0

nova/butes is # 1 Xd, man

Yea, I believe Lilyana Natsir (aka Butet) has recovered from her injury and is in a good form. Plus Nova Widianto is a very happy man since he just got married.. So, I think they could win this tournament if they keep it up... Go INA!

An official news report (in Chinese) says: Gao injured her ankle at the training camp. It caused her running slow. She could insist playing in the first several rounds because the opponents were not so strong, but she became the weakest point when they met Nova.

If I were gao Ling and got injured during training camp...I wont take a risk and participate the SO and IO.,..Super series are not like village or kampong events....expect tough matches from first round...

If they want to be qualified in the upcoming World Championships and Olympics, they must join every tournament they or else they won't be seeded. So, risk is a must.

Well..but if she gets worse..she will lose more also on WD as well...it is sad that she had to play if she is injured...she can afford to skip these 2 tournaments as olympics has 12 months of tournaments to be calculated.....I think she should not play if she in injured....anyway....she won in WD....I am not sure that she is really injured...

Excuse: simple....they were a new pair during AG (same like KKK/TBH). It's always difficult playing a new pair. Besides, Nova/Butet tend to falter at the big events. On the other hand, they were very impressive today. Nova was almost flawless (unlike the usual times). They could take their first title this year since they have good records against the remaining non-Indo pairs (Sudket/Saralee and Xie/Zhang).

but Nova/Butet will play against Flandy/marissa tomorrow...who will win you think???

It's hard to tell who will win since both pairs perform very well. There is a possibility though that Flandy and Vita might win the title. They can possibly do it again just like the last year's Japan Open.

I'm not sure flandy/vita will win the title,Im rooting for Xie/Zhang or Nova/natsir.but still hope flandy/vita can beat nova/natsir
