Djarum Sirnas 2012 - Indonesia National Circuit

[badMania]

Hera Desi Ana Rachmawati failed in her quest to bring the WS title as she lost to serial Sirnas winner Febby Angguni (her 3rd titles this year) in 2-sets: 19-21, 17-21.

I am watching the live-streaming of the BD U-15 Final. The Djarum boys are really small in size and still developing. I guess they are barely 13 or at most 14. Shots are quite wild at times and rallies are over quite quick.

Even Yantoni Edy Saputra is only 15 this year and he already forged quite a solid partnership with Tedi Supriadi (16) and they play in U-19!

[badMania]

I am hoping to watch Kevin/Rafi against Hantoro/Arsya right after this BD U-15 match. The Jaya Raya pair looks more solid and probably older than the Djarum pair too.

[badMania]

Ａll-over...too easy for the Jaya Raya U-15 pair M. Fachrikar/Reza Pahlewi as they won the BD U-15 title over the Djarum pair.

[badMania]

After Ramadhani M. Zulkifli and Fauzi Ramadhan both tasted victories in the previous Sirnas this year, this time, it's Joyireh Avi Manasye's turn to win the most prestigious Sirnas BS U-15 title in Jakarta this week. That group of players could yet create another golden age perhaps? Hopefully.....

Kevin/Rafi are so dominant, especially Kevin in front of the net despite the fact that he's the smallest of the 4 players (in terms of physical size). At least 7 of the 21 pts in the first-set were from Kevin's net play!

[badMania]

Standing beside Rafi, Kevin really looks small! But...he's absolutely amazing in his net play and placement!

[Bhinneka]

it looks a definite thing to me that this pair Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho will be sent to AJC and WJC.

[badMania]

It was an easy victory for Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho as they totally dominated the match over their team-mate Hantoro/Arsya Isnanu Ardi Putra 21-15, 21-16.

Kevin is an absolute gem....he is so crafty in front of the net and makes his opponents really uneasy. Rafi is still pretty raw, quite error-prone and made a couple of service faults. But, his imposing figure complements Kevin's net-play and placement; plus some of his smashes were really hard. If he commits fewer errors, his partnership with Kevin would be very very promising indeed!

Did u watch the livestream? What's your comments on their performance?

I heard Kevin will be paired with Alfian Eko Prasetya for the AJC 2012. Rafi is still too raw & young perhaps (only 16)? Alfian is more matured (at 18) and has won the WJC XD title last year. So, his experience counts too.

[Bhinneka]

for sure I watched the livestreaming.

kevin/alfian? well that's a good pair too, but personally I like kevin/raffi

my comment for the game, what can I say.. Kevin is showing he is really controlling the front play, and that's so vital.
as for raffi, he has big smash but made several unforced errors, like his service and return service as well,, saw it time and time again eversince he was paired with Jeka.

Your comments are more or less similar as mine

[badMania]

Although we have many potentials in MD, what INA needs is really a couple of solid world-dominating pairs like Kido/Hendra and Candra/Sigit. Bona/Ahsan and Alvent/xxx still have yet to reach that kind of level yet.

But, Ｉ saw a glimmer of hope in Kevin. He's probably the most talented net player in his age-group (still 16 only this year!). He also has this arrogance in his face and combined with his net placements, those can really make opponents annoyed and commit errors in succession, as I saw today in the physically more imposing Hantoro/Arsya. I heard of similar comments from others who watched him progress over the years in PB Djarum.

Similar to her feat at the Vietnam IC 2012, Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth won 2 titles this week in WD and XD.

[badMania]

Sigh....Alamsyah Yunus still reigns in Sirnas as he beat Arief Gifar Ramadhan so easily 21-12, 21-13.

Pelatnas's hope lies in Ronald Alexander/Selvanus Geh.

[badMania]

Ronald/Selvanus force rubber-set as they take the second-set 21-19.

[badMania]

No title for Pelatnas. It was a tragic end for Ronald/Selvanus after the interval as they won only 1 pt....final score: 19-21, 21-19, 10-21。
