OSAKA International Challenge 2012 (4th-8th April 2012)

[Jagdpanther]

One of INA MD has fallen. This time, Ulin/Ricky.

[badMania]

Bad news....Ulin/Ricky lost to Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda in straight-sets I forgot that the Japanese pair won the MAS IC 2011, beating 2 INA pairs (Andhika Anhar/Hendra Setyo Nugroho and Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma).

good.... actually, i hope Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah move to XD too and also Jenna Gozali... let Annisa Saufika and Gloria Emmanuela Widjaya play in WD...as Sandy said, we need a powerful and tall players in WD to challenge China...

I do think so I believe Gloria and Annisa capable of playing in both WD and XD. Deariska is tall and very powerful, i guess, this year after OG, they can try Deariska/Greysia.

[badMania]

Meanwhile, Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra maintain their consistency in reaching another QF.

[huangkwokhau]

Keigo Sonoda plays MD with Hendra Setiawan in Japanese league and according to Hendra,Keigo is quite good

[Bhinneka]

Takeshi Kamura Keigo Sonoda

Ricky Karanda Suwardi [7] Muhammad Ulinnuha

21-18 21-14

now this, for me is an upset.

[fathonezic]

Keigo Sonoda plays MD with Hendra Setiawan in Japanese league and according to Hendra,Keigo is quite good

so i think, it is good to see Evert Sukamta can force Keigo to 3 sets

[badMania]

Keigo also beat Evert Sukamta in 3-sets just now. These Japanese players really have ample stamina.

INA players simply do not have the stamina or energy that KOR or JPN players do.

Good to see Berry Angriawan/Rahmat Adianto beating the seeded Japanese pair and reach the QF.

[Bhinneka]

I do think so I believe Gloria and Annisa capable of playing in both WD and XD. Deariska is tall and very powerful, i guess, this year after OG, they can try Deariska/Greysia.

junior senior combo,, worth trying.

wow. i never think that they can win this quite easy

[badMania]

And Jordan/Didit lost to the seeded Japanese pair. So, that concludes R16.

MD QF
Berry Angriawan/Rahmat Adianto vs Mohd Lutfi Zaim Abdul Khaid/Vountus Indra Mawan [3] - the MAS pair is more experienced. They should take this one.

Hiroyuki Saeki/Ryota Taohata [5] vs Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra [2] - Markus/Agri to progress.

this also good... i really like this pair.. quite consistent... always go far at least QF

[Jagdpanther]

Keigo also beat Evert Sukamta in 3-sets just now. These Japanese players really have ample stamina.

INA players simply do not have the stamina or energy that KOR or JPN players do.

2 big problems: stamina and mental.

Such an irony, considering PBSI has a bunch of military officers in its management board.
