just read the draw..Vita Marissa moves to USA now??

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

any news about this ???

1st round interesting match in MD.....Berry/Ulin v Bodin/Jongjit M........

just read the draw..Vita Marissa moves to USA now??
It is typo....Vita still wants to stay in Indonesia, at least for few years...;)

1st round interesting match in MD.....Berry/Ulin v Bodin/Jongjit M........

Ullin-Berry won't go down easily against the seeded Thais... ;) I think if they get pass these Thais, then they can reach the quarterfinals, but then will probably loose to Edo-Lingga... :p

Very interesting field in MD where the ex-Pelatnas/Pratama players:
Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [1]
Luluk Hadiyanto/Joko Riyadi
Rendra Wijaya/Anggun Nugroho
Flandy Limpele/Tri Kusharyanto
Krisna Adi Wijaya/Syahmie Syarif Yapus

will pit their skills against the current Pelatnas back-up pairs:
Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie [2]
Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [3]

as well as Pelatnas Pratama pairs:
Rizky Yanu Kresnayandi/Albert Saputra [15]
Christopher Rusdianto/Kevin Alexander
Ryan Agung Saputra/Angga Pratama
Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto/Mohd Rizky Delynugraha
Andikha Anhar/Hendra Setyo Nugroho

and not to mention 2 rising pairs from PB Djarum:
Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawan
Didit Juang Indiarto/Seiko Wahyu Kusdianto

plus a dozen more club pairs and some overseas pairs (notably from JPN, THA, and MAS)

Exciting clash starts from R64 which pit Edo/Lingga vs Angga/Ryan, Rizky/Albert vs Luluk/Joko; Ulin/Berry vs Isara/Jongjit

just read the draw..Vita Marissa moves to USA now??

I think Vita will pair with Mona Santoso (USA), Nadya Melati was written twice with different pair, so the "USA" was written in wrong place.

i read in jawapos days ago that vita would play for USA but they dont explain much about this..

i read in jawapos days ago that vita would play for USA but they dont explain much about this..
She has to be US resident in order to play for US....she cant do say that she represented USA now...I know this issue well...Vita will stay in IKNA for few years...she has some options..nothing is final....
Mona Santoso is US resident as well as Arnold Setiadi

anybody knows how much they sell the tickets? The venue is @ Indoor Tennis Stadium, isn't it?

After looking at the draws more carefully, there's no sign of Tommy Sugiarto and Nugroho Andi Saputro from the Pelatnas Back-Up Team :eek: It's a IC level-tourney held at Jakarta and yet they are not enrolling both players (who have yet to win anything significant) into the draw??? Unbelievable really....

And the strange thing is Nadya Melati is entered twice in the WD draw :eek: One with Vita Marissa and the other with Devi Tika Pematasari.

just saw the result of MS round1..Evert Sukamta defeated by SINGAPORE player..hmmmm,i think he wont be a great contender in the upcoming WJC2009..

hey... singapore players ok ba. also, Evert Sukamta should be a junior age. This is an open tournament. Playing with adult maybe?

well...even Iranian WD is top seed.....:D

They are going to be demolished in their 1st match by Nadya-Vita [whom we all expect to win over Jenna-Oliv]... :cool: :p

hey... singapore players ok ba. also, Evert Sukamta should be a junior age. This is an open tournament. Playing with adult maybe?

But the huang chao also U19, same with evert (17years old).. Huang chao was finalist of Sirnas Jatim MS U19 last week, he lost to Arief Gifar Ramadhan (15years old) in final..
So, no excuse for evert.. Λ_Λ

Febby Angguni d Ako Onta 21-12, 21-16

I had a little worry to this match today, Ako Onta beat Rizky Amelia Pradipta in Vietnam Challenge this year

Febby Angguni d Ako Onta 21-12, 21-16

I had a little worry to this match today, Ako Onta beat Rizky Amelia Pradipta in Vietnam Challenge this year

Febby proves us she's much better now..i think PBSI should consider their decision of calling Rizki Amelia to Pelatnas this year as she's always defeated by unfamous players..Febby Angguni n Ana Rovita should have been in Pelatnas i think..

anybody knows Engga Setiawan??is he from Djarum or Pelatnas Pratama??

just saw the result of MS round1..Evert Sukamta defeated by SINGAPORE player..hmmmm,i think he wont be a great contender in the upcoming WJC2009..
hoho,, robin who defeated evert is actually INA player that stand for SIN (like febriyan irvannaldy)...
he is 18 years old...

The big upset is Maziyah Nadhir d Shizuka Uchida (6) 19-21 21-9 21-10
Siti Anida also perfomed well beat Yui Hashimoto 20-22 21-16 21-14

Looked like Pratama players want to proved us that they can play well in this event.

While the Main Pelatnas player, Rizky Amelia Pradipta lost to Yuka Kusunose 14-21, 13-21. She must defenf SF points of last year, she beat Bellaetrix, Maria Elfira before lost to Rosaria in Surabaya 2008.

He plays as Djarum player this year.

hope Bellatrix plays great in this tourney as she's the best WS in Pelatnas Pratama i think..i put my expectation too on Linda Weni..i love her;)

Once again, Rizky Amelia Pradipta lost early.....signal for PBSI perhaps? In the MS, Evert Sukamta also became an early casualty...losing to Robin Gonansa.

Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka should cruise through R16. Then, tougher opponents will emerge.

Lots of interesting clashes in the WS though:
Kaori Imabeppu [1] vs Aprilia Yuswandari -- winner is likely to face Ana Rovita in R16.
Fransiska Ratnasari [8] vs Yuka Kasunose
Maria Febe Kusumastuti [3] vs Tieke Ariedaningrum -- the first of Djarum vs Pratama clash.
Lindaweni Fanetri vs Tee Jing Yi -- Pelatnas vs BAM.
Siti Anida Lestari Qoryatin vs Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari [4] -- the second Djarum vs Pratama clash.

dying waiting TS update the score..pretty curious about the result of Bellaetrix's match..

is there any update of this tourney ??
what about bellaetrix and yoga pratama ??
i think tournamentsoftware.com doesn't update the score from afternoon til now

TS has been updated

Actually, i cannot access TS.com now. i don't know the problem of this site. I'm in Bangkok now. Can you write any update of INA players result in this thread ??

Bellaetrix Manuputty won today and she will face Chanida Julrattanamanee in R32 tomorrow.

Likewise, Yoga Pratama also won and will face Robin Gonansa.

Any info about the ticket..
maybe i'll come tomorrow.
thanks before..

As predicted be4, Ulin/Berry won tight and dangerous match vs Bodin Isara/Jongjit M just by 2 pts in 3rd set......21-16,12-21,24-22

Actually, i cannot access TS.com now. i don't know the problem of this site. I'm in Bangkok now. Can you write any update of INA players result in this thread ??

most of Ina plyrs got through to R2....the only upset probably by lost of 2nd seed in MD Nando/Lingga to their less known compatriot in 3...

It's a red signal for Edo/Lingga too...perhaps they have reached their limit too and might be better for them to be split?? Lingga can return to play XD, while Edo will need a better partner?

Yep..Edo/Rendra....both are not happy there...good news that our younger MD can match...even Ulin/Barry won over Thai...too bad Rizky Albert lost tight sets to Luluk/Joko which is understandable.....

As predicted be4, Ulin/Berry won tight and dangerous match vs Bodin Isara/Jongjit M just by 2 pts in 3rd set......21-16,12-21,24-22

A great result for Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawanyet again as they upset the 9th seed by just 2 pts in the rubber-set :eek: They will face another foreign opposition tomorrow in the form of a MAS pair. I think they will take it also and will probably place Mohd Rizky Delynugraha/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto for a place in the last 8. Should be a pretty entertaining one to watch!

I think Didit Juang/Seiko Wahyu also has a chance to beat the fourth-seed and if they win, an interesting clash with Teo Kok Siang/Goh Wei Shern beckons in R16.

Other interesting MD matches in R32:
Hendra Aprida GunawanAlvent Yulianto Chandra [1] vs Christopher Rusdianto/Kevin Alexander
Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [3] vs Krisna Adi Wijaya/Shammy Syarief Yapus.
Anggun Nugroho/Rendra Wijaya vs Rei Sato/Shu Wada [6]
Keigo Sonoda/Mao Fujita vs Angga Pratama/Ryan Agung Saputra

My predictions of the MD lineup in QF:
Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [1] vs Takeshi Kamura/Takuma Euda [5]

Teo Kok Siang/Goh Wei Shern vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Joko Riyadi

??? vs Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [2] -- 3 pairs are capable of taking the 1 spot in QF...Flandy Limpele/Trikus Haryanto, Anggun Nugroho/Rendra Wijaya, or Rei Sato/Shu Wada [6]

Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawan or Mohd Rizky Delynugraha/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto vs ??? -- again, the last spot will be evenly contesed...maybe between Andhika Anhar/Hendra Setyo Nugroho and Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputra.

Wow, Febby Angguni lost to Elizabeth Purwaningtyas..
Unpredictable..

Febby has been competing in 4 straight-tournaments. It's no surprise.

Meanwhile, the other results are pretty expected:
Maria Febe Kusumastuti beat Tieke Arieda Ningrum 21-17, 21-19.
Ana Rovita and Fransiska Ratnasari also progress.

Partial Match-Ups in R16:
Kaori Imabeppu [1] vs Ana Rovita -- Ana's challenge will end later...it will be a major bonus if she can beat the top-seed.

Fransiska Ratnasari vs Ooi Swee Wenn -- should be another QF for Nana.

Maria Febe Kusumastuti [3] vs Nitchaon Jindapon -- a tricky test for Febe, but I believe she can beat the THA youngster.

Just back fromTennis Indoor
Riyanto lost 1st set to Vilailak 24-26
Most of Riyanto points from smash winner, if he more patient he should took this set. He had problem on his defence, a lot of the return too long

looks like they are on lunch break. TS not updating. been a while oledi

Also saw Nugroho sit in front of the door after lost to Adi Pratama, I think he is ill look from the body language and the pale face.

The longest set is Beryno Wong vs Ali Shahhoseini in 2nd set, the score like 28-16 or 29-27. Beryno won in 2 sets.

thank you for the results. :)

how about hayom rumbaka and yoga pratama ??

As I knew, Lindaweni, Rosaria, Fitriani, Maria Elfira, Bellaetrix won

Hayom, Yoga, Lim Fang Yang, Adi Pratama, Beryno, Nandang Arif won
The others still on playing

Tournament software had been updated....

Tournament software had been updated....

hi can someone post the link please? :rolleyes: thank you!

just found it, repost for newcomers like me: :)

http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament.aspx?id=406A582F-0556-423D-A054-72DB87F698B7

too bad Febby lost..but Ana Rovita through

it's truly exciting, hayom will face yoga.... and, i think, it's time for fauzi adnan to prove his worth after several winning streak in national circuit. I still have some hope that fauzi can still improve and be a good world badminton player if pbsi give him some chances...

Re-match Vietnam Challenge : Maria Febe vs Nitchaon Jindapon 21-18, 12-21, 21-14
Jindapon also Semi Finalist Thailand GP Gold 2009, lost in very closed match to Wang Rong

I think, Fauzi is better than nugroho and tommy. he deserve to enter Pelatnas...

what about ahmad rivai?

Lindaweni Fanetri beat Tee Jing Yi in straight-sets...not bad. Out of the 3 back-up WS players, she's the one with the best prospect. Get rid of Aprilia and Rizky Amelia Pradipta! Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari also beat Siti Anida Lestari Qoryatin 21-14, 21-14. Bellaetrix Manuputty also progresses as reported.

Other remaining matches in WS R16:
Lindaweni Fanetri vs Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari [4] -- another Pelatnas vs Djarum match and this time, I think Lindaweni could win.

MAS is ensured to have a rep in the QF with Beryno Wong squaring off against Lim Fang Yang.

I predict the following lineup in MS QF:
Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [1] vs Beryno Wong/Lim Fang Yang
Indra Bagus Ade Chandra [13] vs Pakkawat Vilailak [15]
Andreas Adityawarman [12] vs Fauzi Adnan
Bandar Sigit Pamungkas [6] vs Keigo Sonoda

WS QF:
Kaori Imabeppu [1] vs Fransiska Ratnasari [8]
Maria Febe Kusumastuti [3] vs Sannatasah Saniru [5] or Elyzabeth Purwaningtyas
Sapsiree Taerattanachai/Maziyah Nadhir vs Lindaweni Fanetri/Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari [4]
Maria Elfira Chrsitina [7] vs Bellaetrix Manuputty

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra progress to R16 after an easy win. They will face Endi/Sandi Darma Kusumah later tonight.

Didit Juang/Seiko Wahyu also won as expected and will probably face Teo Kok Siang/Goh Wei Shern for a place in the last 8.

Lindaweni Fanetri beat Tee Jing Yi in straight-sets...not bad. Out of the 3 back-up WS players, she's the one with the best prospect.

totally agree..

Wow, Febby Angguni lost to Elizabeth Purwaningtyas..
Unpredictable..

Febby had no more strength by the end of game 3. Yes she should be extremely fatiqued because this is her 4.5 tournament in a row...

Asian Junior Team championship (that's pretty much half a tournament)
Asian Junior Individual championship
INA National Circuit Central Java
INA National Circuit East Java
Astec INA ChallengeOn the other side of the story, Elilzabeth was just on fire today. Magical badminton indeed. Her style is extremely unorthodox and she displayed very intelligent gamesmanship... She is a true disciple of SGS Elektrik [school of Iie Sumirat and Taufik Hidayat]... :cool:

I just got word from my friend that Ullin-Berry and Wifqi-Alfiat won!

Wow, berry/ulin against rendy/rizky dely and didit/seiko against teo/goh tonight..

Too bad....Anneke/Anisa lost....Im starting to like this pair

Oh my... Ana Rovita defeated the number 1 seed from Japan, Kaori Imabeppu... :) ...but Maria Febe lost to the Thai girl... :o

Ana Rovita beat the top-seed in 3 long games...24-22 in the rubber-set :eek: She will now play her team-mate Fransiska Ratnasari for a place in the last 4. I think Nana can progress to the SF.

The other quarter-final in the lower half should be between Maria Elfira Christina and Bellaetrix Manuputty.

Oh my... Ana Rovita defeated the number 1 seed from Japan, Kaori Imabeppu... :) ...but Maria Febe lost to the Thai girl... :o

Ana did a great job..hmm,anybody got result of lindaweni vs pipin?TS took so long time updating the result..

Interesting clashes in R16 of MD later on tonight:
Didit Juang/Seiko Wahyu vs Teo Kok Siang/Goh Wei Shern -- it will be a bonus of Didit/Seiko can progress to QF.

I Komang Sandy/Ricky Widianto vs Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [3] -- with the lower half dominated by INA pairs, I expect Wifqi/Afiat to progress all the way to the Final.

Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Agriawan vs Mohd Rizky Delynugraha/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto -- an anticipated clash between INA's possible top pairs. Tough to predict the winner...but I will go with Ulin/Berry.

any update from MS and WS please.....

WS QF:
Ana Rovita vs Fransiska Ratnasari [8]
Nitchaon Jindapon vs Elyzabeth Purwaningtyas
Maziyah Nadhir vs Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari [4]

Too bad....Anneke/Anisa lost....Im starting to like this pair
yeah...their opponent on fire now (wenny setyawati..the smashes girl and always shout when get point..)..
they made many mistakes....

I think, Fauzi is better than nugroho and tommy. he deserve to enter Pelatnas...
Agree..after saw his performance today...:D:D

The other quarter-final in the lower half should be between Maria Elfira Christina and Bellaetrix Manuputty.
Bellaetrix not so fit now..she has problem with her throat ...
very long journey for pelatnas pratama..
Tegal>Surabaya>Jakarta>Bali(next week..)

Bellaetrix not so fit now..she has problem with her throat ...

Wenny Setyawati was Anneke previous partner, before Anneke pairing with Annisa WJC last year.. Anneke/Wenny was Kejurnas 2007 GD champion, beat Annisa/Nimas Rani in final (if i'm not wrong)

They enjoy the journey, believe me... It much better for them compare to stay in military academy...:D:D

I completely agree.... hehehe

Hiks, ulin/berry lost to rendy/dely with straight set..

ulin-berry and didit-seiko lost..

any info for tv broadcast for this tournament ?? and the ticketing for final match ?

I hear the security guards in the stadium told me that there won't be any ticketing charge throughout the tournament... And then one of the organizer told me that Global TV will show the SF and F matches live on TV; that's Friday and Saturday. For the exact time of the matches, just check www.tournamentsoftware.com (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com)

Our reporter, Sandy decided to go home......so not much update

I hope Fransiska Ratnasari can win this event. A victory here might just be the tonic for her to be motivated for the challenges ahead! Just like Maria Kristin Yulianti did 3 years ago in the Singapore and Indonesia Int Challenges 2006.

So, the lineup in WS will be:
Fransiska Ratnasari vs Nitchaon Jindapon
Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari [4] vs Maria Elfira Christina [7]

Meanwhile, Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka is good for another title.
Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa might also win the XD title after they beat the top-seed. With participations in the Macau and Chinese-Taipei GP Golds, they will easily reach top 50 with just 6 tournaments.

Hau-Ge, please tell BWF to update the rankings for MOST of the INA newly formed INA pairs/singles, such as:
Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa -- 12,350 pts (3 tourneys)
Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- 14,720 pts (4 tourneys)

I liked the old rankings display format... :cool: It was easier to navigate and more informative... I don't know why BWF had to use this new format to display the rankings...

Fira defeated Bella 21-14
So 3 Djarum girls vs one Thai girl in SF


If only Febe were still in form, we could have seen 4 INA WS in the SF ... ...I'm sure they would prefer more INA vs. non-INA in the SF and F round... :p Better TV ratings that way... :D

Febe was just not in the terrific shape she was in... I heard her coach mentioned that her peak performance was the finals of Australian Open GP versus Yip P. Y. ...Febe was just so sharp and unstoppable that day. Afterwards, her form slowly deteriorated and dropped in the 3rd week... :p

The shuttlecock used in this tournament is very 'slow'... Plus there is the 'strong wind draft' factor... Players with a lot of power like [B]Nana will have an advantage over many players. 'Touch' players with not much power like Febe usually will have problems.

I liked the old rankings display format... :cool: It was easier to navigate and more informative... I don't know why BWF had to use this new format to display the rankings...

I agree. We can view the past tourneys that each player/pair has participated in. Right now, it's all just PDF files. Can we petition for the BWF to stick to the old format?????

Yay, tomorrow MD semifinal:
Alvent/Hendra vs Teo/Goh
Flandy/Trikus vs Angga/Ryan
Which one will be broadcast in global tv tomorrow??

I think any INA vs nonINA will be on TV court.
It means Nana vs Jindapon, Hayom vs THA MS, and Alvent/AG vs Teo/Goh. It's on court 2, http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=406A582F-0556-423D-A054-72DB87F698B7&d=20090807

Quite frustrating to see Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan losing to the veteran scratch pairing of Flandy Limpele/Trikus Haryanto :mad:

Meanwhile, the situation in MD Pratama is kinda confusing too:
1. Rizky Yanu Kresnayandi/Albert Saputra losing to Luluk/Joko -- fair enough
2. Mohd Rizky Delynugraha/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto beating Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawan but ended up losing to Angga Pratama/Ryan Agung Saputra :confused: Not to mention Angga/Ryan also beat Edo/Lingga.
3. Christopher Rusdianto/Kevin Alexander losing early to AG/Alvent.

Flandy and Trikus had many tricks.......
For Pratama...it is good news that each pair is able to beat one another...

..BWF is still updating their database..For one, if one wants to see or check out the head-to-head record link between players, it also shows nothing. Before, they had all the head to head ranking infos..

So, yes, hopefully, this is temporary and they'll get the latest & greatest up-to-date infos up & running..:cool:

I think any INA vs nonINA will be on TV court.
It means Nana vs Jindapon, Hayom vs THA MS, and Alvent/AG vs Teo/Goh. It's on court 2, http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=406A582F-0556-423D-A054-72DB87F698B7&d=20090807

Yup, court 2 is TV court and GlobalTV will broadcast semifinal match, started on 02.00pm.

all the best to teo kok siang/goh wei shem later.
they are the sole survivor for mas team here.:)

bad news....

after adit got fever yesterday, now, Hayom get fever too...
hope he will get better soon, and can play in semifinal....
maybe, it's because of a long journey : australia-NZ-Jakarta with quite different climate (cold climate to hot climate). and their bodies can not adjust to the new environment quickly....

started to play
Susy Susanti/Maria Fransisca v Verawati Fajrin/Elizabeth Latief

Susy/Maria won 21-19

The match will be more interesting if invite Huang Hua and Wu Dixie (ex partner of Lin Ying but not sure abt her present, no news)

How old ar they ?

How old ar they ?
I don't know excactly. But I have an article about them from local newspaper. I've just relized that they are from Kepri province where I'm staying now.

Cita-cita Jadi Pemain Dunia Rabu, 03 Desember 2008 Pemain bulutangkis Batam Weny Anggraini (18) dan Irfan Fadhilah (18) baru saja meraih prestasi puncak akhir November lalu di Jakarta. Pasangan ganda campuran dari Klub Cahaya Bulutangkis Nusantara (CBN) Batam itu merengkuh juara pertama pada kejuraan nasional (Kejurnas). Hasil itu membuka jalan mereka untuk menjadi penghuni Pelatnas dan pemain dunia.


AHMADI, Batam

Pemain Klub CBN baru saja berlatih di Gedung Pusat Bulutangkis Batam (PBB) di kawasan Mukakuning, Selasa (2/12) pagi. Sebagian sudah berganti pakaian dan bersiap-siap meninggalkan tempat latihan yang memiliki delapan lapangan berkarpet itu.
Di tribun penonton, Edwin Iriawan, pelatih Klub CBN, duduk tanpa mengenakan baju. Hanya mengenakan celana pendek dan sepatu. Bajunya ia kipas-kipaskan ke badannya yang berkeringat. Di sebelahnya duduk Weny Anggraini menikmati nasi goreng. Sepertinya ia suka nasi goreng. ”Lumayan,” katanya sembari tersenyum dan terus menyantap makanannya.

Sementara Irfan, pasangan Weny bermain ganda campuran, ke ruang ganti berganti pakaian. Tidak lama ia muncul kembali dan bergabung dengan Weny dan pelatihnya. Mereka baru saja berlatih sekitar dua jam, sejak pukul 07.30 WIB. Latihan itu mereka lakoni setiap hari, kecuali Minggu. Karena menurut Weny, latihan adalah kunci meraih prestasi.

”Latihan, latihan, dan latihan,” kata Weny yang tertawa karena diledek Irfan yang duduk di sampingnya.

Sejak kecil, remaja asal Jambi ini sudah giat berlatih. Ia mengaku sejak SD. Bakatnya itu sudah mulai terlihat sehingga ikut Porseni di sekolah dan pindah ke Jakarta untuk mengembangkan bakatnya itu. ”Soalnya di Jambi tidak ada lapangan bulutangkis,” cetus Edwin setengah menggoda Weny.

Weny yang hanya tersenyum mendengar celetukan pelatihnya yang ia biasa panggil Ko itu, lalu melanjutkan ceritanya. Di Jakarta, ia bergabung dengan Klub Jaya Raya, salah satu klub besar di Jawa. Kemudian masuk pembinaan di Ragunan antara tahun 2001-2002. Namun ia sempat down. Weny tidak menyebutkan penyebabnya. Akhirnya siswa SKB Batam ini memilih pindah ke Batam.

Irfan punya cerita yang juga hampir sama. Remaja asal Jakarta ini berkenalan dengan olah raga tepuk bulu itu sejak kecil. Ia diperkenalkan ayahnya yang juga suka bulutangkis. ”Sudah kenal sejak umur enam tahun dan pegang raket saat umur tujuh tahun,” kata Irfan

Ia lalu masuk Klub Sinar Maria yang tak jauh dari rumahnya. Namun ia juga mengalami hal sama dengan Weny. Ia pun memilih pindah ke Batam. ”Karena bulutangkis di Batam sangat berkembang,” tegas Irfan mengenai alasan kepindahannya.

Setelah bergabung di Klub CBN, Edwin yang melihat bakat mereka akhirnya memasangkan keduanya sebagai pemain ganda campuran pada tahun 2007. Alasannya, ungkap Edwin, karena feeling saja dan setelah melihat keduanya latihan. Pilihan Edwin memang tidak salah. Sejak bergabung di CBN, permainan kedua anak didiknya itu berkembang dan prestasinya menanjak.

Masa-masa perkembangan itu terjadi selama tahun 2008 ini. Grafik permainan dan prestasi Weny dan Irfan terus naik. Di mulai pada Sirkuit Nasional (Sirnas) seri I di Batam mereka langsung kalah di babak pertama. Lalu pada Sirnas berikutnya mampu melewati babak pertama, babak, kedua hingga seterusnya.

Lalu Sirnas di Manado, mereka masuk final, namun harus puas sebagai runner-up. Kekalahan di Manado itu memacu semangat mereka hingga pada Sirnas di Bandung, kedua pemain yang beda hobi ini berhasil meraih juara pertama.
”Jadi Sirnas di Manado itu paling berkesan, gak nyangka bisa juara. Dari situ, bisa bangkitkan semangat dan akhirnya juara di Bandung,” ujar Weni dan Irfan saling menimpali.

Prestasi puncak pada tahun 2008 ini mereka raih pada Kejurnas di Jakarta akhir November lalu. Ini adalah kejurnas pertama yang mereka ikuti. Keikutsertaan pertama kali itu memompa semangat Irfan dan Weny untuk tampil maksimal.
Saat di lapangan, menurut mereka, hal yang terbayang adalah bermain sebaik mungkin. Namun faktor psikologis juga sangat memengaruhi penampilan sehingga butuh dukungan. Kehadiran orang-orang tercinta dan pelatih bisa memacu semangat.

”Masuk lapangan saja senang banget. Apalagi sampai juara. Pokoknya saya main maksimal untuk Kepri,” ungkap Irfan mengenai tekadnya saat ikut kejurnas.

Kala mengikuti Sirnas maupun Kejurnas lalu, pelatih menjadi orang terdekat keduanya. Namun mereka juga mengaku mengharapkan orang tua bisa hadir menyaksikan penampilannya. Itu juga yang mungkin membuat mereka tampil garang dan meraih juara pada Kejurnas lalu. ”Waktu itu pak Cahya (pemilik Klub CBN) hadir. Jadi semangat dan ingin meraih juara,” ujar Irfan.

Setelah kesuksesan di kejurnas tersebut, kans mereka terbuka untuk bergabung di pelatnas. Itu adalah cita-cita keduanya saat ini. Sementara cita-cita jangka panjangnya adalah menjadi pemain dunia. Mengikuti idola mereka. Weni mengidolakan pemain ganda campuran Inggris Gail Emms, sementara Irfan mengidolakan mantan ganda putra terbaik Indonesia Sigit Budiarto.

”Kalau secara pribadi, saya suka Ricky Subagja. Dia orangnya tidak sombong,” kata Irfan sambil tersenyum. ***

How old ar they ?

They was Kejurnas U19 champion last year.. They was born in 1990..

How old ar they ?

I guess both players born in 1990, 19 y.o.

What an interesting story from these young pair.

Jindapon won first 21-18
Nana took second 21-11, better game plan from nana and jindapon too many ue's

What an interesting story from these young pair.


weni really impresses me..she did many unforced errors in 1st game but showed superb defense in third game..

11-6, still too many mistake from jindapon

Come on fransisca..
Win it..
16-9 for nana

Nana won 21-11 rubber set into final tomorrow. She played consistent but she needs to improve sharpness and cleverness on her game. in the other hnd Jindapon quite talented girl and has a god stroke but lack of concentration...prone error

weni really impresses me..she did many unforced errors in 1st game but showed superb defense in third game..

It's nice having young talented player, let's hope they'll improve their game :)

Fransiska Ratnasari progresses to the Final after beating Nitchaon Jindapon 18-21, 21-11, 21-11. It seems that her move to PB Djarum early this year has started to bear some fruits...with 3 QF appearances in the Vietnam International Challenge, Australia and Japan Open GP; and now a first Final appearance in the Indonesia International Challenge 2009. With future appearances in the Chinese-Taipei GP Gold, I think her ranking can go up to the top 50 at least.

I hope she can win the title tomorrow! Go Nana!

11-10 Hayom, nice smash lethal weapon from him

Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka takes the first set 21-16. He should be able to take the second set too...

Hayom won 21-16, totally in control

It will be:
Fransiska Ratnasari [8] vs Maria Elfira Christina [7] -- I pick Nana to win her first title in a long time...

Meanwhile, Fauzi Adnan will await the winner of the match between Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [1] and Pakkawat Villailak [15]

I'm sorry to say that It's difficult for her to be a world class player. Her play is like "grasak grusuk". As what winzerer said that she needs to improve sharpness and cleverness on her game. We all know that She had been in Pelatnas for quite long time. But I have to admit that She has good power and stamina.

It's 11-6 to Hayom at the interval of the second set.

And how many World-Class players we do exactly have in WS right now??? At best, we only have Maria Kristin Yulianti. Bear in mind that even though Maria did win the Bronze Medal at the Olympics last year, she has not won any title at all lately. Worse still, she has become kinda injury-prone right after winning the bronze medal.

If Nana continues to show good performances in Int Challenges, GP, and GP Gold events, I think she may even surpass Firda by early-mid next year :cool: A title in the Indonesia Int Challenge will just be a first step towards realizing that goal and I do think that her decision to leave Pelatnas has bear some rewards lately...

Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka beat the THA player easily 21-11 in the second set. I think he can win his second title in 3 weeks tomorrow.

I never watch Hayom match before, and what i saw today really impresses me alot with his lethal smash. In his level now i think he is better player than tomy etc. Still though he has tendency lack of consistent but still no more questions he is really good badminton player. Gain more exprience we'll hear more from Hayom.

Really looking forward to watch della destiara/ni made claudia game

I kinda wish it'll be turning point for her career like MKY did couple years ago

I was his club mate in a club in Jogjakarta. when he was at 12 yo, no one players could match him in his age. Regularly, he always became the champion in all tourney. and maybe, start at 14 or 15, he had no match again with all players in all age in Jogjakarta :eek:. he joined 2 or 3 age level in all tournaments (remaja and taruna), and he won all. some badminton expertise in Jogja started to predict that he will be a Pelatnas player some day.

Actually, some day I talked to him about the chance entering Pelatnas. He said that Pelatnas had called him in 3 times. But, he always denied those chances.He worried about his chances to join tournaments if he joined Pelatnas. And I think, he made a right choice. Djarum sends him in some tourneys regularly, not just to increase his experiences.

I hope, in the future, he can keep his standard of playing. May be, after that, we can see a new star born from Gor Djarum Kudus. :)

Yes, Badmania. I agree with you. I do really hope the same for Nana. But when I watch her game today, I just see a kinda "mentok" from her. Sorry. But I wish I'm wrong.

:eek: Such a wise young man. We're all know in pelatnas for a young player they don't send them tourneys regularly...it's a pity

I hope it too, bright future for hayom:)

Nice to watched Destiara/claudia match. They need to improve speed and power but glad to see how they play, fast, good rotations and most important excellent game plan

Glad to know that 3 pratama's pairs are going through to final. Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputra, Della Destiara Haris/Ni Made Claudia Ayu Wijaya, and Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Anggraini beat former pelatnas player, and I wish them good luck for tomorrow's final.

I must say I am becoming more and more intrigued in 'young' Hayom, mostly because I have not seen any of his matches and because of his string of good results recently. At the very least I think he has been consistent of late, which is something that I feel is somewhat lacking in our (Indonesian) players of late. Looking forward to watching his progress in the higher tier tournaments.

Good luck to him tomorrow.

Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra are on course to win their first ever title as a pair after they trounced Teo Kok Siang/Goh Wei Shern in straight-sets easily, to set up a meeting with the Pelatnas Pratama pair of Angga Pratama/Ryan Agung Saputra in the Final tomorrow. AG/Alvent to win!

All-INA-Final in all 5 disciplines...good result but looks like poor TV rating. Fransiska 'Nana', Hayom, Alvent/Hendra, Vita/Nadya are expected to win title tomorrow.

Yeah...its good but quite boring....but wait til next week when local channel will broadcast WC.....I'm sure the rating will increase dramatically....:cool:

I would like to be proven wrong, but I predict that only Nova/Butet will progress to the SF. And the chance of them winning the WC is at best 50%.

It will be:
Fransiska Ratnasari [8] vs Maria Elfira Christina [7] -- I pick Nana to win her first title in a long time...

Meanwhile, Fauzi Adnan will await the winner of the match between Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [1] and Pakkawat Villailak [15]

I pick Nana to win this one... but note, Fira (Maria Elfira) is in a high motivation state right now... Earlier in the year she said she is getting married next year and 2009 will be her last year competing professionally. But recently, we receive news that she broke-up with her boyfriend and she is thinking about not retiring after all. Instead now her inclination is that she wants more and more badminton glory (and naturally more money for her 'retirement fund' later on in life)... ;)

Febe, Nana, Fira, Pipin, Febby, and Ana are practicing and intensely competing with each other regularly these days... On any given day, any of them can beat each other... really depends on who is the fittest on that day. Argueably, these 6 WS are the best INA has below a healthy Maria Kristin and a healthy Firdasari... If MYK and Firda are hampered by some injury, any of these 6 can defeat them...

Hayom needs more tournaments to gain more experience...this year..he has improved in term of thinking....he has a better game plan or strategy this year...last year..he just plays without any game plan..also he needs to learn more about opponent's body language...and also learn how to be a bit sneakier ( like you are tired...put some sweat on the floor..let them mop...kind of strategy)....like TH...

i remember at last year's NZ open GP, Wifqi wiped the sweat on his face, but instead of walking to the side of the court, he threw it down to the court. and only a second or two after, he asked the umpire to have the court wiped.

i don't know whether he forgot to walk or he was doing something that u mentioned, but i found it quite hilarious..

the strategy that players have been using recently is maybe diving down to reach the shuttle, and also mind games with the opponent by asking to change the birdie for so many times.

The legend show, Ricky A.Subagja/Icuk Sugiarto beat Alan Budikusuma/Kartono, 21-19.

Ricky Widianto/Devi Tika Permatasari def Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Aggraini, 21-12 ; 21-18.

Fransiska 'Nana' Ratnasari won WS title convincingly, beat Maria Elfira 21-12 ; 21-9.

it is time for nana to win. winning international challenge is a great step. go nana!
I'm waiting for women's doubles to play, can't wait to see vita marissa again.

It will be:
Fransiska Ratnasari [8] vs Maria Elfira Christina [7] -- I pick Nana to win her first title in a long time...

- Is this the Nana aka Fransiska Ratnasari aka Nana from a couple or so yrs back, when she made a bit of hay in international competition and then for some reason disappeared??...Has she transformed??
- Wow, haven't heard Fauzi's name being mentioned playing for a title in quite a while...

Hayom took the title. It looks like it was a walk in the park from the first round to the finals.

Expected wins for Fransiska Ratnasari, Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka (2 titles in 3 weeks), and Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra (first international title as a pair for both players and it has been a long draught for Alvent who last won an int title in 2004!).

Well, she decided to join PB Djarum on her own accord earlier this year and that move itself certainly showed her determination to revive her career. And indeed, the move begins to bear fruits today with an International Challenge title to show for. At least under Djarum, she will be sent to tourneys that she is at least capable of progressing far; better than first round exits everytime she enters a SS tourney.

I saw Nana vs Fira only..so sleepy....glad that Hayom won..too bad that Fauzi retired

At the same time..she is being molded by Om Fang.
It is funny that Kompas.com reported that Nana is one of Pratama players....:D..winning the title due to AKMIL's prgram...:rolleyes:

Hi all, i'm new in here...
I agree.
It seems that become clearer that PBSI didn't
have precise calculation picking the right tourney level for each.
If some player were not yet capable in progressing further in such tournament level,
she/he will always got punishment with almost every result as well due to punish/reward in PBSI.
PB Djarum I think have better and wiser plan sending their players to tourneys,
they prefer sending to GPG/GP level instead of SS considering it's better to reach QF/SF or even Final
in GPG/GP rather than R1/R2 in SS.
It is not good to go to tourney and lost in first appearence and then got punishment, right?

I do not mean to criticize PBSI's tournament sending policy, but I do think that it can be planned out a lot better.

Take for example the Macau Open GP Gold, I think ALL the 3 WS players we have SHOULD NOT BE SENT to compete there at all as their results are not even good enough to be able to win an International Challenge event this week, let alone GP Gold. Moreover, from the draw, ALL 3 players have to play from qualification, out of which 2 will have to meet each-other. 1 more will meet Liu Jian and that means that at most, only 1 WS player will qualify.

Also, it DOES NOT BENEFIT players like Simon, Rian/Yoke, Nitya/Grace, Mel/Shendy, and Devin/Lita if they are sent to SS tourneys ONLY and got booted out mostly in the early rounds.

Rizky had been dropped from both tourneys due to poor result

Lindaweni Fanetri -- R16 exit at both New Zealand GP and Indonesia Int Challenge.

Aprilia Yuswandari -- R16 exit at the New Zealand GP and R32 exit at Indonesia Int Challenge.

I will say let Lindaweni concentrate on International Series, Challenges, and GP level tourneys first for the remainder of the year. No pt sending her to GP Gold event in which she has to qualify. Quite a number of tourneys that she can participate in:
Sep/Oct -- Li Ning Singapore Int Series, Yonex-Sunrise Vietnam Open GP
Nov -- Malaysia Int Challenge

Exactly.
To compete in such tourney start from qualification is also not a wise plan.
We all know that if start from qualification, players most likely to play 2-3 times a day.
It will become worse if the tourney were held in Europe or other that more costly.
That's probably why PBSI were running out of money at 3/4 season 2008 hehehe...
I think that was happened to Nana in 2007 and 2008. She were hardly crawling around at qualification/first round in SS.
Did we all realize that Firda/MKY never win a title? Even GP/GPG level. Or even Simon..
By sending players to tourney with bigger chance to win will help to develop players confident, and combine with higher tourney level at the right time.
I hope PBSI would take their lesson learned by looking back to 2007/2008.
And look at Aus GP and NZ GP result. Some players successfully boost their confident with the result although probably not yet ready to win an SS.

Well, Simon Santoso and Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita won their first GP Gold title in the Chinese-Taipei Open 2008. But this year, no chance of them defending their titles :o

Again, in terms of tournament planning and sending of players, PB Djarum appears to be more competent and as a result, their players bring in better results which constitute returns on the club's investment on them.

Yup. Let her also learn winning a title first at GP or lower rather than lose and lose again in qualification or first round in GPG/SS:)
Let Febe and Djarum girls/boys stay at Djarum at least for the rest of 2009 so they could get more opportunities to compete at the right level
I also suggest to send pratamas also to Int Series or Challenges first or some GP with better chance.
PBSI and Djarum should also have better 'spying' strategy, Aus and NZ GP is a GP but China/Korean/Denmark/Malaysia rarely send their top or second players to this tourney, so why not take benefit from here (ranking, money and confident boost wise)

PB Djarum usually does their homework well and send their players to tournaments that the Pelatnas/Pratama players do not get sent to....like the Auckland International Series, Australia GP, and Laos International Challenge 2009. At the end, the players returned home with titles and valuable ranking pts.

I am so curious whether PBSI have some ROI or Cost Benefit analysis or not? :p
What I heard more often is that they keep saying about punishment if some players didn't meet target. We all know that SS only provide 8 seedings, which reflect that if we are out of luck and we didn't have good rankings, we will most likely to meet Lin Dan / LCW or other top players at first round. Then losing in R1/R2 will most likely to happen. Then it is not a wise investment for both player and organization. And the player also got punishment :( and lose chances to compete next incoming tourneys. And then got bored with retraining and deterioting motivation. More of losing investment. Then go back to Djarum to revive hehehe. What a waste of years.

Oops. You're right.
PB Djarum does their tournament sending well planned.

A little disappointment with Indonesian media, they prefer to report detailed news about Tennis (event in not Masters nor Grandslam) rather that Indonesian (Djarum) players fight in some GP or lowers that oftenly came home with titles.
Oh, I think I am so very out of topic :D. But I am glad that this Ina Int'l Challenge reported in many newspaper.

PBSI has not shown that it knows how to get out the current spell of bad results. Without any radical changes, i don't see how thing will turn around.

It is time for clubs (with Djarum leading the way) to take the lead in the revival of Indonesian badminton. Don't take the role of feeder for Pelatnas anymore. Look at the Soccer to see the success story. National team is only for main events like Thomas/Uber and Sudirman cup. Let PBSI be just administrative body (eventhough they still screw up on player registration again and again). Club should operate as profit center with all the player transfers and sponsorships and maybe TV right.

The immediate issue for the clubs is how to increase the level of players skill. We see in Djarum that the younger players progress well as they can spar with higher skilled players (Andre, Bandar Sigit, etc). But all this at the expense of the senior players such as Andre that seems to be stagnant now. Send them to many more tournaments, recall those in Pelatnas.

One good thing of PBSI now is the good number of Sirnas (this is like the annual Premier League) which is a platform for all clubs to compete. Again, immediate task is how to increase the level of competitiveness in each Sirnas to at least the level of Grand Prix.

So, what I am suggesting is not something new. All has been done and proven elsewhere with great success.

This time Pelatnas good in doubles department only. Big problems in Single coah, Pelatnas Utama and Pratama.

PBSI shoud have Single coach head with skill level same as Mr. Christian Hadinata like in double. They should search this coach in wider mind not only around his club.
No problem if this coach is ex double coach like Mr. Atik Jauhari or Mr. Chafidz Yusuf if he/she capable for coach in Single. Another alternative is hire the experience foreign coach from China, if any money problem ask the goverment (Menpora) to help the funding.

Big different if we compare with Djarum club which coached by Mr. Fang Kai Xiang, Agus Dwi Santoso, Ellen Angelina also former Pelatnas physical trainer, Mr. Jason.

Expected wins for Fransiska Ratnasari, Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka (2 titles in 3 weeks), and Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra (first international title as a pair for both players and it has been a long draught for Alvent who last won an int title in 2004!).

Yes... the only title that I know Alvent won in the past 5 years: the 2007 INA National Championships (Alvent-Luluk defeated Kido-Hendra there)... :cool:

The National team DID have an excellent singles coach in the past. His name was Tang Xianhu [or Tong Sinfu in some circles]. A Chinese Indonesian [from Semarang, I think]. But, INA officials somehow refuse to accept his application for citizenship... thus he had to return to China... Now he is coaching Lin Dan! :(

I miss the 1990s when INA had both Tang Xianhu (in singles) and Christian Hadinata (in doubles)... We truly ruled the badminton world then... At one point, INA had 8 MS in the Top 10 BWF rankings... EIGHT ouf of ten! :eek: And around 5 out of 10 MD. Unreal, unreal...

..hey, the guy in blue (bottom row) looks familiar..;)

whoops..posted in wrong thread..and yea chris, the one with the blue shirt really looks familar to me too though:confused:;)
