[badMania]

So, the evening matches in the GS gonna be:
Hye In Choi vs Maria Febe -- tough match yet again for Febe after she won in rubber-sets and I expect her to lose :cool:

Neumann Beckie vs Pia Bernadet -- Pia should win quite easily.

Lindaweni Fanetri vs Bae Youn Joo -- similarly, the Korean will progress.

In the BS, Adi Pratama progressed to R16 after an easy 21-9, 21-12 victory over Kenny Ng. The test will come tomorrow, facing possibly Vountus Indra Mawan.

[badMania]

In the GD, Richi Dili Puspita/Debby Susanto have won their first match 21-13, 21-19, while Reni Rosi Hendarni/Krishabella also progressed after an easier 21-9, 21-7 victory over their Australian opponent.

[Loh]

Top seed Xing Ai Ying lost in 3 sets 21-13,14-21,18-21 to Hye in Choi...shocking!! so Maria Febe vs Hye in Choi instead

Yes indeed shocking that Aiying as no.1 seed should go down in R1 and I hope she has learnt her lesson well that when you play against the Koreans or the Japanese, never to underestimate any of them! :(

Thankfully the other three of Aiying's singles teammates, Zhang, Gu and Fu, are still in the running.

[badMania]

Aiying lost in R32 last year to Megumi Taruno in 3 sets.

[badMania]

Arif Nandang just survived a rubber-set as well, beating Aditya Elango 21-10, 19-21, 21-19. He will lose to Lim Fang Yang tomorrow. The other BS match tomorrow will feature Adi Pratama vs Vountus Indra Mawan.

[badMania]

As expected, the fifth-seed Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan trounced their opponent 21-7, 21-9 in just 14 mins. They will face a Japanese pair Katsutoshi Noguchi/Yuta Yamasaki tomorrow. They will face a formidable challenge in the QF, with the second-seed Lim Khim Wah/Mak Hee Chun being their possible opponent.

[Car_fan]

I'm watching TanWeeKion-WoonKheWei playing against a Filipine pair. One pair is beating the other pair flat.

I actually couldnt tell which pair was the msians because they are all wearing the same coloured shirts. And I cant really see the words.

But the winning pair is most probably Tan-Woon...

[badMania]

Maria Febe has beaten Choi Hye In 21-14, 21-19 and Pia Zebadiah also won easily 21-4, 21-10. Both will progress to the last 16. Febe will face another Korean Eorn Hye Won, while Pia will face Porntip Buranaprasertsuk.

In the XD, two INA pairs also progressed to R32: Muhd Ulinufa/Richi Dili Puspita have beaten a Thai pair. They will face the 8th-seed Josche Zurwonne/Dana Kaufhold. Meanwhile Afiat Yuris Wirawan/Debby Susanto have beaten a HKG pair.

[hcyong]

Even though a number of seeds have fallen, I will only count the defeat of Xing Aiying as an upset.

[badMania]

The other 2 XD pairs: Wifqi Windarto/Pia Zebadiah and Hendra Mulyono/Nadia Emanuella Gideon have also won their matches in straight sets. Wifqi/Pia have the mammoth task of beating the top seed Tan Wee Kiong/Woon Khe Wei, while Hendra/Nadia will face either a Scottish or German pair.

[Tommy Susanto]

:eek:Top Seed gone aga~in:crying::crying::crying:So who's hot and who's not;)

[avataar]

Arif Nandang just survived a rubber-set as well, beating Aditya Elango 21-10, 19-21, 21-19. He will lose to Lim Fang Yang tomorrow. The other BS match tomorrow will feature Adi Pratama vs Vountus Indra Mawan.


Aditya's performance deserves credit. After not featuring in any matches in the team events his performance against Arif should give the lad a lot of confidence.

Aditya (along with GuruSai and Saurabh who have featured in this event) are the next gen of players who given adequate exposure can start to make an impact on the circuit. The key element for the longevity of all of these 3 players will be physical conditioning.

Apart from GuruSai who is a product of Gopichand's academy a mjoriy of junior mens players in India are not part of formal academies. Its is interestting to note that Aditya plays for Tamil Nadu state who coach also happens to be the cheif coach of the Indian junior team in this tournament(Mr Sacheva)

Kudos to Aditya as well as GuruSai(tough draw for him) for their performances.


Aditya's Results -

Rd 1 bt Saul Soto [PUR] - 21-7 , 21-6
Rd 2 bt Arthur Cheung [ENG] - 22-10 , 21-16
Rd 3 lost to Arif Nandang [INA] - 10-21 21-19 19-21

[eek!oh!]

Well done to the kiwi pairing of Olly Leydon-Davis & Delius Tang - beating a singaporean pair! They are the sole surving NZers.

http://www.badzine.info/images/stories/News/xing%20aiying%20ae2007.jpgMany seeds have fallen on day 2 at the KLRC World Junior Championships. After a relatively quiet first day with only a few minor upsets, today certainly turned out to be different.

The first major upset of the day was girls’ singles top seed and one of the favourites to take the title, Xing Aiying of Singapore (pictured), who went down in 3 games to 15-year-old Korean, Choi Hye In. The top seed took the first game quite comfortably and looked to be in control but the determined tiny Korean battled her way back to win the next 2 games and win the match in one minute short of an hour. Choi Hye In was then unable to continue her form in the next round as she faced Indonesian Maria Febe Kusumastuti later in the day and lost 21-14, 21-19.

There were many upsets during the day with a lot of seeds going out of the tournament, perhaps showing why there were so many complaints and queries about the seeding before the draw was done.

In the boys’ singles, Scottish no.1and 5th seed Kieran Merrilees went down to Saurabh Verma from India in 3 games. Also the 10th and 16th seed lost. Verma caused a bit of a stir at the Asian Juniors when he ousted the top Korean player in the first round before losing in the second. In Auckland, however, he is already in the fourth round but with a tough match tomorrow against Gao Huan of China.

Mix of Fortunes for Tee

In addition to the exit of the top seed, the early rounds of the day in the girls’ singles saw the 5th and 9th seeds lose, then a few hours later in the next round 4th seeded Dane Anne Hald Jensen lost a close game to Hung Shih Han of Chinese Taipei. Singapore had another high seed go out with Fu Mingtian, the 6th seed, losing to Wang Shixian of China in 2 games. Also to go out were the 14th, 15th and 16th seeds. One of these, Tee Jing Yi of Malaysia, twisted her ankle in the middle of the second game and was unable to recover properly and struggled through to finally lose in 2 games to Miki Yuriko.

The trend was much the same in the girls’ doubles. There were many exciting matches happening at the same time. The 8th seeds from Denmark had their chances but couldn’t quite finish off their match against Malaysians Tee Jing Yi (before her injury) and Woon Khe Wei and ended up losing 22-20 in the third. Singapore 3rd seeds Gu Juan and Zhang Beiwen lost a long hard-fought battle with Chinese Taipei pair 25-23 in the third game and also the Korean 6th seeds lost.

The boys’ doubles got through the day with no seeds being ousted. However young New Zealand players Delius Tang and Oliver Leyland-Davis (pictured) caused a minor upset beating Singaporean pair of Terry Yeo Zhou Jiang and Thng Boon Seong 21-19 in the third and will be the only home side players still in the tournament tomorrow. Unfortunately, they will have formidable opponents in second seeds and 2006 bronze medallists Lim and Mak of Malaysia.

The Danish woes continued in the mixed doubles with 4th seeds Mikkel Elbjorn Larsen and Anne Skelbaek losing to Thai opponents. The 9th, 11th, and 13th seeds, from Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand respectively, were also beaten.

All in all, not a good day for the seeds. Tomorrow the action heats up with many top players up against each other. Players get the morning off and the matches will get underway around 2.30pm NZ time.
