no live score for this tournament? i saw some chinese. they flying directly after lindan wedding? that must be tired.
The Chinese players are mostly junior players who participated in the AJC 2012 like Liu Yuchen/Chen Qingchen, Huang Dongping, Li Junhui, etc/
I thought CHN's best juniors would flood this tournament... to do some fine-tune (aka 'lemaskan kaki') in preparation for the WJC. But they didn't. A. Confident already. B. WJC not important. C. Afraid 'kena hantam' because CHN is having dispute over South China Sea territory with SEA countries.
I am only interested in MD Qualifiers. Hantoro/Arsya Isnanu Ardi Putra and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho might meet again in the second round of the qualifying this afternoon. Kevin/Rafi should progress to the main round and entertain Ronald Alexander/Selvanus Geh again after losing to them in the INA SSP 2012. Yantoni Edy Saputra/Tedi Supriadi have a hard match against Takatoshi Kurose/Kosuke Yosumura [3] being played right now. I don't think they can beat the Japanese pair. The Japanese could face another PB Djarum's BD pair of Kevin Ersa/Jeka Wiratama. PB Jaya Raya's Rian Swastedian/R. Eka Fajar Kusuma will also have a tough first-round qualifying match against Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen.
those 8 singles are not junior. only a few pair in xd and wd are U19. ----------------------------------- let see if tian hou wei can did well in this tournament. he had been lagging behind.
Hantoro/Arsya lost to Riyo Arief/Ismail Rizky Hidayat in 3-sets. INA's hope in the upcoming WJC, Hanna Ramadhini, also lost to Rusydina Antardayu Riodingin easily. Hmm....
They pulled out from this tourney. Ahsan will be paired with Hendra Setiawan and Bona partnered with Afiat Yuris Wirawan for upcoming DEN SS Premier.
2 philipine pair won and will met each other in next match. well done for rexy have one pair reach 1st round
With Rexy's midas touch, it'll be a matter of time before Filipino boys beat Korean and Li Gen.... I mean Chinese MDs.
