ZZ's conquest to challenge all BAM ms players will be the most focusing for spectators an audiences...

Results involving players for Dutch & German Juniors 2012:
BS SF - Soong Joo Ven vs Tan Kian Meng; Chong Yee Han vs Soo Teck Zhi
All the European bound players for the BS (except for Lim Chi Wing) have progressed to SF as expected.

BD SF - Calvin Ong Jia Hong/Tan Wee Gieen vs Chua Kek Wei/Ong Yew Sin; Darren Isaac Devadass/Tai An Khang vs Tew Gee Chong/Yeoh Choong Yee

The other pairs: Soo Teck Zhi/Soong Joo Ven and Chong Yee Han/Tan Kian Meng, Lim Chi Wing/Vincent Phuah Cheng Wei lost in R16 and QF respectively. Chong Yee Han will be partnered with Lim Chi Wing for the European Junior events.

My question is: are these players in BS & BD the best that could represent MAS for the major Junior events this year? Shesar Hiren Rhustavito will probably be INA's best bet for BS in AJC & WJC this year but he's not going to Europe. As for BD, 3 main pairs that could cross paths with MAS's pairs in the Dutch & German Juniors: Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama, Felix Kinalsal/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma.

Yes, these are the best players that Malaysia has available back in the junior circuit. In MS, there's another one called Goh Giap Chin.

Because of this, several people have said that last year was the end of Malaysia's strength in the junior events. We simply don't have new blood yet.

They didn't show it live today...

My predictions :
XD - Goh Liu Ying has a strain but I think that the world #9 PAIR still has what it takes to subdue the world #1 PLAYER! It all depends on how the strain affects GLY as they are competing in three straight tournaments after this. Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying has the upper hand.
WD - Vivian Hoo/Woon Khe Wei should have no prolem disposing of their younger team-mates, despite WKW still recovering from her injury!
WS - Lydia Cheah Li Ya has the skills and everything to beat Tee Jing Yi, but she is so prone to errors. It all goes down to which LCLY turn up tomorrow.
MD - Koo Kien Keat/Lim Khim Wah should be too strong for Mak Hee Chun/Tan Wee Kiong, despite the latter dumping CPS/TBH out of the tournament. It is interesting to see Mak & Tan being given a second chance and a convincing performance is needed to show that TKH is not a mad man.
MS - Chong Wei Feng ​should finally put an end to Iskandar's giant-killing streak.

Mak/TWK may just overcome KKK/LKW tomm. KKK & LKW just came back from TC, while Mak/TWK are fresh. It also depends how KKK intends to play tomm, full force or not full force
