[vpsingh]

Jwala-Diju lost first game :crying:
Not faring much better in second either:mad:

[PoLLuX]

shoot... Flandy lost!!!

[CLELY]

China XD pair qualifier, Qiu Zihan/Tian Qing win over reigning Japan Open Champion, Songphon/Kunchala with rubber games.

[badMania]

OK...I have some free time to follow the progress of INA's XD pairs.

It's good to see both Hayom and Nana both progressing to the Main Draw. At least, the trip to HKG is not wasted.

As for the XD pairs, Devin/Lita lost the first-set 21-23, despite leading as much as 13-4 :eek: Meanwhile, Fran/Pia are in the rubber-set and lead 13-3 at the moment.

[PoLLuX]

despite leading 19-13 in first set, Devin/Lita lost to Chen Hung Ling/Chou Chia Chi 23-21

[PoLLuX]

and Fran/Pia win! 21-6 in third set

they will facing Lee/Lee in next round

[badMania]

Fran Kurniawan/Pia Zebadiah Bernadet won their first match and will now face Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung for a place in the QF. Next week, their first match will be against the KOR pair too.

[CLELY]

Pia/Fran cruise into R/16, tough test tomorrow as the Olympic Champion will be their next opponent.

[Dede_Pran]

Yuhuuh.... Fran/Pia goes to second round after beating LSM/CYC 21/14 12/21 21/6

[badMania]

Devin/Lita are going to bid farewell, unless there's a miracle.

[simonlovers]

Devin/Lita are going to bid farewell, unless there's a miracle.
not yet badMania, not yet..:D

[CLELY]

Sigh! Devin/Lita lost to TPE XD, Chen Hung Ling/Chou Chia Chi in so close match, 21-23 ; 20-22.

[simonlovers]

Bye2 Devin/Lita..just as usual..:)

For Devin, try it in China Open..;)

[yunarinaldi]

despite leading 19-13 in first set, Devin/Lita lost to Chen Hung Ling/Chou Chia Chi 23-21

PBSI better open an exit door for Lita Nurlita..i have ever watched this pair played for many times..i think Devin is quite good but Lita has poor defense..

[badMania]

Devin/Lita tasted defeat on their first match to Chen Hung-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi 21-23, 20-22.

[simonlovers]

PBSI better open an exit door for Lita Nurlita..i have ever watched this pair played for many times..i think Devin is quite good but Lita has poor defense..
we'll see in China Open...
it's time to prove you're right..:D

[PoLLuX]

yay... I am happy Devin/Lita lose in first round

degradation door is waiting ^^

so another back up pair(s) have chance to play in more SS tournaments

[badMania]

So, Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa will face Chen Hung-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi for a place in the last 8 tomorrow.

[CLELY]

Well, three INA XD representatives in R/16, Nova/Liliyana, Hendra AG/Vita and Fran/Pia. The seniors should progress into QF.

[naistav]

yay... I am happy Devin/Lita lose in first round

degradation door is waiting ^^

so another back up pair(s) have chance to play in more SS tournaments
A nice argument indeed.
Couldn't agree more. They've been too long without significant progress.

[fathonezic]

It's time for PBSI to split this XD pair. This pair doesn't show any improvement this year as we expect them to replace NoLyn.

I think, it's a good decision to pair Devin Lahardi with Liliyana Natsir
Go Indonesia !

[wawakkk]

KKK/WPT sadly lost to korean XD 21-18 17-21 21-19
good try though :p
now they can concentrate on MD and WD :D

[Jagdpanther]

So far so good for Fran/Pia in their SS campaign. Their losts are pretty much expected. Now, if only they could manage to upset the OG champ. But, I think it's too much for them right now. :p

[PoLLuX]

I think, it's a good decision to pair Devin Lahardi with Liliyana Natsir


hmm, I do not think Devin is a world class player like Nova, just a so-so player. But we shall see in the next SS how they will perform.

[fathonezic]

I agree, but right now, Devin is the best among the others esp. because of his experience in SS tourneys

[PoLLuX]

Du Jing/Yu Yang beat their opponent single specialist Zhang Beiwen/Fu Ming Tian with 21-8 21-6

they will meet the Sexy Jwala Gutta/Ashwini P for a place in Quarter final

[limsy]

glad that chen hung ling won:D

[PoLLuX]

I agree, but right now, Devin is the best among the others esp. because of his experience in SS tourneys

but don't forget INA still have M. Rijal who had won SS title with Vita in Japan SS.

and Butet/Rijal have paired for Taipei GP Gold 2009 but unfortunately lost to MAS young pair in Quarter final

[george@chongwei]

i see many upsets especially in the XD categories today:p

[naistav]

hmm, I do not think Devin is a world class player like Nova, just a so-so player. But we shall see in the next SS how they will perform.
Nova start his major achievement with Vita Marissa at Japan Open 2004 (about 27 yo).
Currently Devin is still 26 yo (born 1983). So, at least this year he should be able to reach SF on any SS tourney to progress by winning SS tourney next year at 27 years old.
Otherwise, compared to Nova, most likely, it will be too late for him :D:D

[yan_brot]

what a dizaster day for HKG itself..all HKG players are knocked down except Tsz Ka CHAN who beat her compatriot....ckckckckkkk...

[jasonmarc]
