WCH is demolishing Adi Pratama right now, 16-7
And Anand Pawar is breaking a million Thai hearts by leading European in-law Brice 21-15, 4-2

[etudiant]

Thanks cobalt

[etudiant]

I'm sure not many ppl in Thailand knows Brice's wife...

[etudiant]

Evert was just clueless vs Sourabh Verma and the scoreline suggest the same..

[ngkt67]

Go uncle Wong...!!

[cobalt]

I'm sure not many ppl in Thailand knows Brice's wife...

Yeah, right!
But hope springs eternal! Brice is picking up energy from the assembled crowd and taking it to Pawar in game 2, 11-11
Adi is doing likewise to WCH in game 2, leading 8-7 after losing game 1 to the old campaigner.

[depleter]

another three gamer and close match between wisnu and sai praneeth!!

[cobalt]

Meanwhile, another INA/IND seesaw in court 1, Wisnu being frustrated by Sai Praneeth with the scores 21-15, 23-25, 2-2

[cobalt]

And so, Brice braces himself for game 3 and looks for Lever(dez)age from the crowd, while Anand prays for more Pawar!

[etudiant]

Ugh, Always difficult vs Ind guys

[ngkt67]

Cordon's OUT...!!

[Miqilin7]

That goes to show Kevin Cordon is not a champion material. He can cause upset but he cannot keep that winning performance consistent.

Well done to the Malaysian. To be honest, Malaysian players are trained in a way so that other nations find it really difficult/impossible to actually beat them except for the traditional powerhouse. I think it's the mental block that's holding them back.

You see Indian, European rookies upseting big Chinese or Korean players. But i seldom see them doing the same for Malaysians..

That's something special about Malaysian badminton

[cobalt]

Brice finally scrapes through!!! Saved the blushes!!!

[cobalt]

Young Rhustavito took out Qiao Bin in easy, straight games. What a shame; I used to think QB had some potential, but this is depressing. Kudos to the young INA lad, however!

Another Chinese journeyman, Chen Yuekun is on court just now. Huge natural talent, but something missing or something else...

[etudiant]

Mas lads seem doing well here

Hopefully Sony can surprise me again

[badMania]

Despite the presence of MANY INA players in the Thailand GPG, I don't think INA will win any of the title. If lucky, we would only expect one or two SF spot

It's good to see Shesar Hiren Rhustavito (he's just 18) beating Qiao Bin. Remember, Qiao did beat Hsu Jen Hao and Viktor Axelsen in the China SSP 2011. Let's see if he can beat Alamsyah Yunus [7].

The other youngsters: Evert Sukamta and Andre Marteen lost as expected. Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo once again wasted a huge lead at 15-9 in the rubber-set and lost to Sai Praneeth B. , after having a match pt in the second set. The 2 club-players: Aｌｒｉｅ Guna Dharma and Adi Pratama also lost. The remaining INA player left in the MS R64 is Riyanto Subagja. I don't expect him to beat Wei Nan.

Other matches for today:
