Predictions involving INA players: MS R16 Taufik Hidayat [3] vs Gao Huan - Taufik is playing leisurely right now. Gao Huan can upset him. Riyanto Subagja vs Chen Yuekun - Riyanto did well in progressing to R16. I don't think he can beat the CHN player. Gurusaidutt R.M.V. [12] vs Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [7] - a potentially tricky match for Hayom but I still expect him to win this one. WS R16 Adriyanti Firdasari [8] vs Sun Yu - there's a big chance Sun Yu will take this one. Belaetrix Manuputty vs Busanan Ongbumrungpan [7] - Busanan might also take this. Lindaweni Fanetri vs Hsu Ya Ching - I hope Linda can progress far. MD R16 Vladimir Ivanov/Ivan Sozonov [1] vs Berry Angriawan/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto - will there be an upset in this match? I hope so, although the top-seed has an edge. Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra [7] vs Liang Jui Wei/Liao Kuan Wei - a tricky tie for the INA pair and I hope they can prevail. Hendra A. Gunawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki [3] vs Vountus Indra Mawan/Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari - AG/Yoke can progress to the QF. Markis Kido/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [5] vs Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma - the senior pair to win. Lee Sheng Mu/Tsai Chia Hsin vs Mohd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi [2] - I think the TPE pair will take this one. WD R16 Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta [4] vs Dellis Yuliana/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan - should be Pia/Rizki's match to lose. Chen Hsiao Huan/Lai Chia Wen vs Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Anneke Feinya Agustine [5] - ditto for this one. Ayumi Tasaki/Seiko Yamada vs Komala Dewi/Jenna Gozali - the Japanese pair to prevail. XD R16 Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Tan Aik Quan/Lai Pei Jing - the first real test for Towi/Butet will be in the SF, probably against Tao/Tang. Lin Chia Yu/Wang Pei Rong vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto [3] - Rijal/Debby are also expected to test Sudket/Saralee in the SF. Sergey Lunev/Evgenia Dimova vs Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili [6] - as for Riky/Richi, a third QF in 3 weeks beckons.
