2012 French(5-8 Apr) and Dutch International(12-15 Apr)

[LD rules!]

YES. Edi Subaktiar/Melati Daeva Oktaviani are younger than the MAS pair. They beat the Austrian pair in straight-sets in the Banuinvest International 2012.

Quite surprising to see Febby Angguni/Cisita Joity Jansen beating the AJC runner-up in straight-sets. A SF spot it is for them. Well done gals!

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] also progresses to the SF as expected and will face Dicky Palyama [4]. He last beat the home player in the Belgian Int 2011 in straight-sets.

I hope Dicky can win this match, he's retiring soon so hopefully he can go out on a high!

Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki/Dharma Gunawi progress to the SF after a tough 3-sets victory today. They will face the French pair Jorrit De Ruiter/Dave Khodabux [3] for a place in the Final.

[LD rules!]

How old is Dharma? I looked at tournament software and his first tournament is Indonesian Open 1989! I think I seen somewhere that he is 1971?!?!?

[badMania]

I am not sure how old is Dharma Gunawi.

[LD rules!]

Found it here:http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sp...BA984A86&cid=9

That makes him 40+ his partner is 1985.

Dharma Gunawi is same generation with Denny Kantono

Dharma Gunawi is same generation with Denny Kantono

In that case, he's old enough to be a coach and even older than Sigit Budiarto!

Surprise, Febby/Cisita beat Chow/Lee in 2 sets, even the MAS pair beat Anggia/Shella easily in Singapore last year.
That's why Anggia/Shella wanted to meet them when WJC last year.

[badMania]

Even Suci/Tiara beat Chow/Lee in 3-sets in the AJC Final. Really surprising.

Chow/Lee is one of the favorite for the AJC title this year.

MS SF
Dicky Palyama [4] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] - I hope Andre can win this tourney to continue his trend of winning European IC tourney.

MD SF
Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki/Dharma Gunawi vs Jorrit De Ruiter/Dave Khodabux [3] - given that Yoke/Dharma were stretched to 3-sets in the QF match, I think the French pair has an edge.

WD SF
Lotte Jonathans/Paulien Van Dooremalen [1] vs Febby Angguni/Cisita Joity Jansen - it will be a massive upset if the scratch pair can beat the top-seed. The Dutch pair has beaten Mel/Grace last year.

They aren't French, they are Dutch

Come on Dicky!

[badMania]

Thanks for the correction I thought they are French.

[undeadshot]

Woah, they beat Chris/Peter too. Keep it up boys!

[badMania]

Andre takes the first-set 21-17 in 18 mins.

[badMania]

Andre seems to be in control in the second-set as he leads 11-5.

[badMania]

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] cruises to the Final after a comfortable straight-sets victory over Dicky Palyama.
