Finally, badminton action after a week of break :D
INA's interests in this competition are quite high and we do expect at least 1-2 titles from the Dutch Open. Last year, I think Pelatnas managed 2 titles (Adriyanti Firdasari and Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti) while Djarum won a title from Rian Sukmawan/Eng Hian.

The competitions will be from SIN (almost full team here except for Ronald Susilo), ENG (mostly second team, but, they represent a credible threat) and some formidable GER and RUS pairs in the doubles.

MEN'S SINGLES R64
Tommy Sugiarto vs Carl Baxter -- should be a breeze for Tommy for the tougher match at night in R16.

MEN'S DOUBLES R32
Johannes Schoettler/Tim Dettmann vs Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan --the Djarum second pair has a tough opener against the more experienced and seeded German player. Can youth and speed beat experience?

Dean George/Chris Adcock vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- this tournament means a lot for Rian/Yoke and I expect them to enter at least the semi-final :cool: It will be a tricky opening match for them and I hope they can shrug off the jet-lag and win.

WOMEN'S SINGLES R32
Saina Nehwal vs Pia Zebadiah -- Pia was stretched in the qualifiersyesterday, winning marginally 21-19 and 27-25 in the second set to salvage both matches. It will be an upset if she can beat the seeded Saina.

Ana Moura vs Adriyanti Firdasari -- I don't think Firda can defend her title this time, with intense competition in the WS field, but, she should at least fulfill her seeding and has a good chance of reaching semi-final.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES R32
Shruti Kurian/Jwala Gutta vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- Greysia is finally back and it will be a tricky match for them against the experienced Indian pair.

Yulianti/Richi Puspita Dili vs Shinta Mulia Sari/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan -- also a tough match for Yulianti/Richi and I hope they prevail.

MIXED DOUBLES R32
Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti vs Andrew Ellis/Joanne Nicholas -- the 30-years old Joanne Nicholas is an experienced doubles player, having won the US Open, and I think the INA pair will lose it based on experience.

What happened to INA Fransisca Ratnasari....lost to a Bulgarian player...in WSQ....?????...FR not playing well lately...sorry for her..

wat is this??

what is what ?
More surpised..
1. MD seeded 8 Durkin/Sorokina (RUS) lost to unseeded Robert Adcock(ENG) /Emma Manson (Sco) [I never heard this pair before !]

2. Robert Blair (A formidable XD pair with an English Women, Can't really remembered her name) / Immoken Bankier (SCO) - lost to Another RUS pair of Niklolaendo/Vislova

In total, Not a good start for the British XD

Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti beat Andrew Ellis/Joanne Nicholas in two tight sets 21-18, 21-17. A good start for our upcoming XD pair. They will face the 4th seed Kristoff Hopp/Birgit Overzier tomorrow for a place in the last 8. A win will be a bonus.

As for the Men's Singles R32 match to be played later:
Marc Zwiebler vs Tommy Sugiarto -- a tricky match for young Tommy and I hope he can win to set up an interesting encounter with either Anup Sridhar or Yousuke Nakanishi for a place in the quarter-final.

Alamsyah Yunus vs Wu Yunyong -- as I mentioned earlier in the other thread, I don't think Alam can beat the more experienced Wu.

2. Robert Blair (A formidable XD pair with an English Women, Can't really remembered her name) / Immoken Bankier (SCO) - lost to Another RUS pair of Niklolaendo/Vislova


Robert Blair used to be paired with Natalie Munt.
Anyway, the RUS pair Alexander Nikolaenko/Nina Vislova is always tough to play against.

Marc Zwiebler vs Tommy Sugiarto -- a tricky match for young Tommy and I hope he can win to set up an interesting encounter with either Anup Sridhar or Yousuke Nakanishi for a place in the quarter-final.
.

Who is this Marc :confused: Tommy sugiarto WILL win , for sure ;)

How far has Tommy gone in previous tournaments?

With no MAS participation in this tourney, its expected that the forum is slightly quiet at the moment :D

Pia Zebadiah is currently having a close match with Saina Nehwal, all square at 18-18 in the first set.

yes ! saina win the first set !

You are wrong , dudes ;)

Saina proves her mettle by taking the first set 21-19.
However, Pia storms ahead 6-1 in the second set :cool:
Will this be another 3-sets match for Pia?

You are wrong , dudes ;)

Ah...I overlook the club players like Lee Tsuen Tseng and Roslin Hashim :cool: Well, the main team is certainly absent.

Unless there is a disaster, Pia should take the second set, leading quite comfortably at 13-7.

Well, the miracle happens as Saina claws back to level it at 17-17 :eek:

Go ! Saina ! 18-18

Pia is at 21-21 in the second set!

Pia lost 23-21
what pity...:crying:

Well, as expected, Saina Nehwal beat Pia Zebadiah 21-19, 23-21. Pia was leading 11-4 at the interval of the second set and simply blew it :eek: She also had the chances to seal both sets, leading 19-18 twice and 20-19 in the second set :cool:

Sorry ... The upcoming WS star win over INA poor Gals players:D:D

well, I guess Saina had the mental edge.

Watched she played in Superliga, Pia don't have weapon in critical points. Her smash so flat and weak, has playing style like "serve the boss".
The statistics has showed it, no strange she lost to Sania after lead big margin.

aiz..
another lost for me..

amazing!!
i can't believe it..
Ekaterina beat Telma Santos 14-21,21-9,22-20..
in the rubber set,she even trailing behind 14-20 but she save 5 match points & take 8 points consecutive to win it!

pity Charmaine Reid...get trashed by li li in the 1st set 21-5

and Li Li took the game 21-5 21-9....
wat an easy victory by her..

Robert Blair/Davide Lindley/ Eva Lee/ Hendri Kurniawan Saputra etc all have to play two matches within 5 - 6 hours .
Roman Spitko play 3 matches a day (2 Single / One Double) :eek::eek::eek:
What a crazy schedule :eek:

The Djarum pair of Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan has just taken the first 21-19, despite trailing 18-19. A good start since I expected them to lose.

Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan are through to the next round, after beating the 8th seed Johannes Schoetller/Tim Dettmann 21-19, 21-9.

Meanwhile, the other pair of Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki is involved in a tight battle with Dean George/Chris Adcock, taking the first set 21-19.

Rian/Yonathan won, 21-19, 21-19

Phew...it was such a close match as Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki eventually beat Dean George/Chris Adocok 21-19, 21-19. The crucial moment was at the point the ENG pair was leading 17-14 in the second set, when Rian/Yoke got a second win that let them win 6 straight pts and 3 match points at 20-17. The ENG pair won another 2 points before Rian/Yoke finished it off. Not a great start, but, it was definitely a relief that Rian/Yoke won!

Jo Novita/Greysia Polii have beaten the stubborn Indian pair of Khurian Shruti/Jwalla Gutta 19-21, 21-11, 21-14. They should have an easier time against the unknown ENG pair of Gabrielle White/Mariana Agathangelou.

In the other match, Yulianti/Richi Puspita Dili are tied at one set all, with the SIN pair Shinta Mulia Sari/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan taking the first set 21-14 and the INA pair claiming the second one 21-15. Now on to the rubber set....

Sigh...Yulianti/Richi lost in the first match again, this time to Shinta Mulia Sari/Neo Yu Yan as the SIN pair won it 21-14, 15-21, 21-17.

Heloo...everybody..i am new comer here. i have been follow this thread for some time but i never create account. but tonite(since i m still in holydays) therefore why not join BC and have some fun...so here i am....pls correct me if my english is wrong...btw...in dutch open...i hope Tommy can meet Wacha in final...all the best to INA team.

Err....I think he would have to play Wacha as early as the QF, if Tommy does go that far.

Wacha has taken the first game over P Kashyap 21-16

FIGHT Kashyap!!!!!!!!

Err....I think he would have to play Wacha as early as the QF, if Tommy does go that far.

Perhaps....and hopefully...

Tommy vs Marc Zwiebler....

Puspita Dili/Yulianti lost:crying: they just give point easly to SIN before toilet break....that's why they lost.

Wacha...u better watch out and win the game coz the indians they like to create upset(like TH vs Anup)...

good luck Wacha

Hope Marc Zwiebler can beat Tommy (probably alone here :D), he played pretty good in Bitburger Open.

Joppien has to play Roslin, pretty tough for him...

Tommy Vs Marc....ayo Tommy, pake dua set langsung aja.....

Sigh...Yulianti/Richi lost in the first match again, this time to Shinta Mulia Sari/Neo Yu Yan as the SIN pair won it 21-14, 15-21, 21-17.

I worried Richi's current form, she will play in WJBC in New Zealand. Yulianti looked played normally, looking the result in mixed double.

wow...Wacha vs Kashyap 21-16 21-23

wacha....come on...win 3rd set k

kashyap..good job...

Zwiebler took first set 21:19 yeeehaaa !! Auf geht's! xDD

Now Alamsyah's leading 14-13 to Wu Yunyong

who is endra kurniawan? age?? i have never heard of him.

who is endra kurniawan? age?? i have never heard of him.

a year ago he came from indonesia to a german first-division-club..i guess endra is 23 or 24 years old! hes currently ranked no. 230 in the world, but he only plays few tournaments, because he concentrates on playing in the german division.

alamsyah lost...so sad all ina ms got wiped out today...no promising young generation in sight...who's there to replace taufik, sony and simon??

Wu Yunyong won over Alamsyah Yunus 21-12 12-21 21-16

who is endra kurniawan? age?? i have never heard of him.


i also don't know him....i think, badmania, krisna, taufik-1st, or hua-ge...knows

alamsyah lost...so sad all ina ms got wiped out today...no promising young generation in sight...who's there to replace taufik, sony and simon??

alamsyah lost...so sad all ina ms got wiped out today...no promising young generation in sight...who's there to replace taufik, sony and simon??

not sure...:confused::confused::confused:

suppose to be Tommy, Endra kurniawan, and Alamsyah....but they are out now.....:crying::crying::crying:

there is one guy Andre Tedjono..but he is not in national team he is from Djarum Club player...he's better than those 3(tommy, endra, alamsyah)....

Wu Yunyong won over Alamsyah Yunus 21-12 12-21 21-16

Expected....I already said that Marc Zweibler will give a hard fight to Tommy...and indeed he beat Tommy :cool:

i also don't know him....i think, badmania, krisna, taufik-1st, or hua-ge...knows


He's playing in German League....

Expected....I already said that Marc Zweibler will give a hard fight to Tommy...and indeed he beat Tommy :cool:

I think INA only can rely on Andrea Tedjono now for their future MS , no one really outstanding beside him at the moment.. :rolleyes:

Even Andre (not Andrea) Kurniawan is not really that consistent, losing in early rounds recently :cool:
