i wonder why pelatnas send its full 2nd team on MD only, while in WD and XD only new recruited pair sent...
MS QF Alamsyah Yunus [1] vs Yoga Pratama - Alam should win the title here. This will at least preserve his record of winning at least 1 IC title since 2010. Mohd Arif Abdul Latif [3] vs Achmad Rivai - Arif to progress. Riyanto Subagja [11] vs Raul Must - a positive result for Riyanto here in reaching QF and he has a chance to beat Raul Must. Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [7] vs Febriyan Irvannaldy - I will look forward to a SF between Riyanto and Wisnu. WS QF Bellaetrix Manuputty [1] vs Renna Suwarno [7] - Bella to progress. Febby Angguni vs Bae Seung Hee - Bae should win this comfortably. Maziyyah Nadhir [5] vs Ganis Nur Rahmadani - the Pelatnas player to win. Tieke Arieda Ningrum vs Hera Desi [2] - ditto for Hera Desi. MD QF Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra [1] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki - a tough match for Markus/Agri against the senior pair of AG/Yoke. I hope they can win. Heo Hoon Hoi/Lee Jae Jin vs Rendra Wijaya/Rian Sukmawan [5] - I am not sure if the defending champion can beat the Korean pair. Ade Yusuf Santoso/Wahyu Nayaka A.P. vs Andrei Adistia/Christopher Rusdianto [3] - yet another positive result for Ade/Wahyu. Andrei/Christopher to fulfill their seeding. Mak Hee Chun/Teo Kok Siang vs Muhd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi [2] - match of the day for me and it will be an excellent result for Ulin/Ricky if they can beat the MAS pair! WD QF Ng Hui Lin/Ng Hui Ern [1] vs Aris Budiharti/Dian Fitriani - the MAS pair to progress. Adriani Ratnasari/Maya Rosita vs Amelia Alicia Anscelly/Soong Fie Cho [5] - ditto for this match. Artima Serithammarak/Chayanit Chaladchalam vs Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta [2] - Pia/Rizki have a chance to win yet another IC title this week. XD QF Terry Yeo Zhao Jiang/Dellis Yuliana [1] vs Tedi Supriadi/Della Augustia Surya - what a suprise in seeing the junior Djarum pair reaching QF after beating a Korean pair. The Singaporean pair should take this one. Heo Hoon Hoi/Lee Sa Rang vs Tri Kusumawardana/Variella Aprilsasi - again, I don't think the INA club pair can beat the Korean pair.
MS SF Alamsyah Yunus [1] vs Mohd Arif Abdul Latif - Arif is the only non-INA player left in MS. Alam to take the title. Riyanto Subagja [11] vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [7] - battle of the Pelatnas youngsters. Wisnu has the slight edge. WS SF Bellaetrix Manuputty [1] vs Bae Seung Hee - Bae to lift the title this week. Maziyyah Nadhir [5] vs Hera Desi [2] - the second-seed to challenge Bae in the Final. MD SF Hendra A. Gunawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Heo Hoon Hoi/Lee Jae Jin - the KOR pair to take this one. Andrei Adistia/Christopher Rusdianto [3] vs Muhd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi [2] - I hope Ulin/Ricky can lift their 2nd IC title this year. WD SF Amelia Alicia Anscelly/Soong Fie Cho [3] vs Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta [2] - a repeat of the Vietnam IC Final won by Pia/Rizki. The INA pair has the slight edge. XD SF Tri Kusumawardana/Variella Aprilsasi Putri Lejarsari vs Nilyoke Vasim/Chayanit Chaladchalam - not sure about this one. Let's see if the INA pair can progress to the Final.
MS FINAL Alamsyah Yunus [1] vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [7] - the second IC Final for Wisnu this year. It will be an excellent progress if he can beat the experienced Alam. WS FINAL Bae Seung Hee vs Hera Desi - as expected, I don't think Hera Desi can prevent Bae from lifting the title this week. MD FINAL Hendra A. Gunawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Muhd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi [2] - I would like to see Ulin/Ricky winning the title tomorrow but I think the senior pair has the edge. WD FINAL Lee Se Rang/Yoo Hyun Young vs Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta [2] - can Pia/Rizki win their second title this year? Let's see. XD FINAL Lee Jae Jin/Yoo Hyun Young vs Tri Kusumawardana/Variella Aprilsasi Putri Lejarsari - the Korean pair to win.
dissaponted to see pelatnas new recruited pair like selvanus/ronald, melvira/khaeriah, ririn/dea, lukhi/annisa lost in the early round.....
Too many competitions recently? Ronald/Selvanus participated in 4 consecutive tourneys in June alone: 4th Candra Wijaya Men's Doubles Championships Djarum INA SSP Djarum Sirnas Flypower Jawa Tengah Open and now the Victor INA IC Not to mention they participated in 3 tourneys in May: Pegadaian Walikota Surabaya Cup Djarum Sirnas Flypower Jakarta Open Djarum Sirnas Flypower SGS PLN Jabar with only 2 weeks of break in between these 7 tourneys. The travelling and fatigue could play a part. I am not that disappointed with their performance as they lost mostly in 3-sets to more experienced pairs like Rian/Rendra (2x both in 2 tight-sets: 17-21, 19-21 and 19-21, 19-21), Edo/Yoke (3-sets: 21-19, 19-21, 10-21), AG/Yoke (3 tight-sets: 16-21, 21-19, 21-23), Chalardchalaem/Puangpuapech (3 tight-sets: 21-15, 21-23, 19-21). The other 2 losses were to Darmiko/Samuel Paulus (21-14, 19-21, 17-21) and this week to the Japanese pair Yuki Umino/Yuta Yamasaki (15-21, 21-18, 18-21).
