Good work pal .. Still Tournament software is not showing live score.Match would have started already. Quite disappointed..
its a failure if zulfadli cant advance to round 3. nozomi is here,hope she will win the title(sorry scorpian1) ko/lee for the title without any doubt if chow/lee won 1st match,they will reach quater final directly!haha hope kang/choi and tan/lai can create some upset here
I don't think saina is going to play this time too...I read somewhere that she was entered into the entry list last year just for marketing purposes....I think that was the case this time too...If she plays here she will only aggravate her injury I think...
15 year old girl, Ruthvika Shivani advances to next round of qualifiers after beating 3rd seed Ravinda of Thailand (seeded in qualifiers) with 21-15, 21-18 convincingly.. I wish her a good performance in next round in the qualifier where she will meet her compatriot Saili Rane..
15 year old Ruthvika Shivani moved ahead to Main draw and she will meet P.C.Thulasi ( Recent women's singles winner of Tata Open International Challenge 2012). It will be a tough match for this young girl. Lets how she play against her..
Congrats Pratul Joshi.. You made it.. Another very promising player arising.. He has beaten former olympic champion Taufik Hidayat in straight games convincingly.. Wonderful.

Now, his 16 year old brother Aditya Joshi is playing very much experienced player Chetan Anand. Lets see whether he follows his brother's suit..
