CLELY 03-23-2009, 03:07 AM Only Nepalese and home players will play qualifying round tomorrow. And Indian shuttlers should have no problem to beat their opponent.
sekut 03-23-2009, 03:33 AM mmm need to wait until wednesday to see malaysian player

Oldhand 03-23-2009, 03:49 AM Qualifying Round
In Women's Singles, I'd expect Aparna Balan to qualify for the main draw.
In Men's Singles, it should be Sachin Kumar Rana who goes through.
In Men's Doubles, the strongest pairing is Thomas Kurian & Joy T Antony.
What's strange is that Kurian and Antony are actually singles players.
Perhaps the Badminton Association of India believes they might do well as a doubles pair. However, it's unlikely they will progress much beyond the initial round in doubles.
sekut 03-23-2009, 04:02 AM well...the more the merrier :))
maybe a miracle will happen..who knows???
avataar 03-23-2009, 04:49 AM watch out for junior players like ashwini ponnappa and arundathi pantwane. also dhanya nair will b looking to make it thru.
aparna b is mainly a dbls player but is wily enough to beat the more famous singles names, watch out for her in the dbls draw.

Just checked it again and it's working. So far, 9 matches have been completed.
Many of the Indian qualifiers making it to the next round are unknown up-and-coming players.

Oldhand 03-24-2009, 12:49 AM The results site is working fine :)

You are right about them being unknown outside India.
However, they are quite well known in the domestic circuit.

badmad 03-24-2009, 11:51 AM in my opinion, these match would be interesting MS plays on 03/25.
Tommy SUGIARTO - KASHYAP P [15]
Tsuen Seng LEE - VIDYADHAR J B S
Sashidhar C.M. - Muhammad Roslin HASHIM
i expect the first one to be tougher than rest of 2.

Roslin is unlikely to lose much sweat in this encounter :)

Prediction prematurely fulfilled :p
As I mentioned, this was an experiment gone overboard.
Individually, these are good players - but they simply don't click as a team.
avataar 03-25-2009, 04:19 PM Joy T Antony?? Are you kidding me? I have played with that dude 17-18 years ago... He still plays??? unbelievable yet truly amazing!!!
guess who was hanging around the courts today:D
neoking 03-25-2009, 11:14 PM hi avataar .. is that Joy ?
sad they did not click but thomas/joy did well for themselves in the state tournaments .. reached the finals i reckon ...
joy looks fitter than ever when i met him in october last ...
thomas did come down to dubai .. played one of the tourney's and won .. !
sad he did not click in the singles as well ...
malayali 03-26-2009, 11:18 AM He still has kept most of his hair; now that is pretty amazing!!!:D
guess who was hanging around the courts today:D
