View Full Version : German Open 2008 - Tues Feb 26 - Qualification Round
badMania 02-26-2008, 09:38 AM Most of the matches will end in around 2 hrs time.
So far, all the INA players make it to the main draw.
Men's Singles
Andreas Adityawarman -- he has a negotiable tie against Pablo Abian.
Endra Kurniawan (non-Pelatnas?) -- Nabil Lasmari awaits tomorrow.
Women's Singles
Fransisca Ratnasari -- I think she does qualify, even though results are not confirmed yet. She will face Wang Yihan tomorrow.
Aprilia Yuswandari -- at least, Pelatnas's effort in terms of sending her to compete here is not wasted. Her main draw opponent will be Petya Nedeltcheva.
Mixed Doubles
Anggun Nugroho/Endang Nursugianti -- they will face a winnable tie against Robin Middleton/Liza Smith.
2 more MD qualifying matches to be played later:
Anggun Nugroho/Devin Lahardi vs David Lindley/Kristian Roebuck -- a tricky opponent awaits for Anggun/Devin before they can qualify for the main draw.
Tantowi Ahmad/Mohd Rijal vs Matthew Honey/Andrew Bowan -- likewise, not an easy opponent for Towi/Rijal.
Dreamzz 02-26-2008, 09:40 AM i think the MS qualifiers will do well tomorrow.
on the WS side though, the outlook is bad.
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 09:56 AM In practice:
Tantowi/Rizal lost to Flandy/Vita in 2 sets.
Also Nugroho/Devin lost to Nova/Butet in 2 tight sets....lets see if they can qualify
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 09:57 AM Wow..Rizal/Tantowi lost 19-21 then won 21-19 in 2nd set...lets see the 3rd set
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 10:11 AM Great!! Tantowi/Rizal goes to main draw..........now Devin/Nugroho..lets see if they can follow their teammate...
Dreamzz 02-26-2008, 10:12 AM looks like devin and anggun are going to have a tough game.
kristian and david are a strong pair.
badMania 02-26-2008, 10:15 AM Great!! Tantowi/Rizal goes to main draw..........now Devin/Nugroho..lets see if they can follow their teammate...
Their reward: a daunting match against the top-seed Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae :o Oh well, their main focus is not in MD anyway.

The INA pair is being thrashed now.
Dreamzz 02-26-2008, 10:17 AM ouch, 16-6, goodnight folks.
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 10:18 AM looks like devin and anggun are going to have a tough game.
kristian and david are a strong pair.
Yep..not easy to win...also Devin is not that strong in MD...
Dreamzz 02-26-2008, 10:19 AM yeah, i've seen him more in XD.
maybe they should get him to specialise more, or are they just trying out different combinations now?
badMania 02-26-2008, 10:42 AM It's all over, 10-21, 9-21 for the INA pair.
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 10:47 AM yeah, i've seen him more in XD.

I think they are just experienmenting...I know tantowi is good for MD also....not sure about Rizal....but with their win tonight? who knows? PBSI just selected 5 or 6 Junior MD plus another 2 MD in transition from junior to senior....ther is one pair is good and promising..Chresna and..??? I forgot ...the one I forgot was left handed and they way he plays just like Ricky ( the MD coach said)....I saw them when I was back to INA 3 weeks ago
badMania 02-26-2008, 10:53 AM the 2 pairs in transition would be:
Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan and Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan?
What about Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie?
apontoh 02-26-2008, 10:58 AM not a bad day for INA qualifiers though, only 1 casualty (am I right?)
huangkwokhau 02-26-2008, 06:00 PM the 2 pairs in transition would be:
Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan and Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan?
What about Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie?
Not sure...last time I heard that this combination is not strong enough..also players ( yang lagi manggang), Chresna and his partner , lef handed guy....very good....
I hope Bona needs to step up and train more ( agak malas dikit)....Ahsan has shown his commitment in training...
