Maybank Malaysia International Youth U19 Badminton Championships 2012

Edi/Arya prevail this time in 2 tight-sets 21-18, 22-20.

**fathonezic** · 09-14-2012, 08:03 AM

it's nice to see thomi forcing sitthikom in 3 sets...
a progress... i think, in last meeting, thomi lost in 2 easy sets...
it's clear to see that thomi has some good progress this year...
but consistency is a problem for him....

i really want to see thomi in WJC... fikri ikhsandi has his chance next year, give the wjc spot to thomi.... please....

**badMania** · 09-14-2012, 09:33 AM

I agree. The junior ranking also has Thomi ahead of Gifar.

It will be an excellent result if any of our INA BS players could even reach QF in WJC. Ｔhe field for BS will be extremely competitive with Viktor Axelsen (he's still eligible!), Kento Momota, Sameer Verma, Song Joo Ven, Khosit Phetpradab, Matej Hlinican, Kalle Koljonen, Ng Ka Long all ranked above Vito in the Junior Ranking.

Not to mention dangerous youngsters like Rohit Yadav, Wang Tzu Wei, Soo Teck Zhi, Pannawit Thongnuam, and a few Koreans like Choi Sol Kyu.

What happened to the Korea boy? He is down to play in 3 categories

wow, but had to concede walkover... sick?

BD SF
Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama [1] vs Lee Chun Hei/Ng Ka Long [6] - this will be a super hard match for Edi/Arya, a repeat of the AJC SF which lasted 3 sets: 15-21, 26-24, 21-10. I hope there will be an all-INA Final in BD.

Darren Isaac Devadass/Ong Yew Sin vs Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma [5] - also a tricky match against the newly paired Devadass/Ong.

GD SF
Lee Sun Min/Shin Seung Chan vs Lya Ersalita/Ruselly Hartawan [3] - Lya/Ruselly at least fulfill their seeding. The KOR pair should take this one.

Ni Ketut Mahadewi/Ila Alvionitasari Putri vs Chae Yoo Jung/Kim Ji Won - ditto for this one.

**rosid** · 09-15-2012, 01:53 AM

all wd are lost to Korean, as expected, while Arya/Edi win in straight set!!

**badMania** · 09-15-2012, 03:11 AM

It's an all-INA Final as expected in the BD. Edi/Arya beat the HKG pair in two tight-sets 21-18, 21-18. Meanwhile, Hafiz/Putra had the tougher match as they beat Devadass/Ong in three tight-sets 21-19, 18-21, 21-19. The INA pair was once trailing 7-11 and then 16-18 in the decider set before taking it 21-19.

BD FINAL
Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama [1] vs Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma [5] - a match-up between INA's top 2 U-19 BD pairs at the moment. Edi/Arya have a slight edge.

KOR wins 2 titles in GS and GD, while the BS and XD will be fought between KOR, THA, and MAS.

**badMania** · 09-15-2012, 03:16 AM

I believe MAS will send Devadass/Ong to WJC, instead of Devadass/Tai (the pair in AJC). Also, Tai will probably be continued to be paired with Tan Wee Gieen

oww, sorry, focus on your study

**badMania** · 09-16-2012, 02:48 AM

Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama prove that they are INA's no 1 U19 BD pair as they win their 2nd international title this year, after the AJC triumph in July.

Their next challenge will obviously be winning the WJC title in Chiba next month. Apart from them, Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma will also be competing for the coveted title. The only thing that remains will be to decide on Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo's partner. Will it still be Alfian Eko Prasetya (his partner in AJC) or Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho (his new regular partner since May this year).

KOR sweeps 4 titles with Choi Sol Kyu winning two of them! His BS victory was quite surprising as he beat Khosit Phetpradab, Ng Ka Long, and Sitthikom Thammasin en-route to the title. In XD, Choi Sol Kyu/Chae Yoo Jung will be the hot favorite for the WJC title. We shall also see who will partner Shin Seung Chan partner in GD. Will it be her regular partner Lee Soo Hee or her new partner this week Lee Sun Min.

You can see Choi play singles here. I would say his body type is similar to Chen Long's, though he's much shorter. He has broad shoulders and thick legs but he is very lean and he's not like a taller version of Jung Jae Sung or anything. He's the best singles player in Korean high school and in fact he was last year, too, beating guys two years older.
