First round of MAS Open 2013 will be started tomorrow on 09.00 am local time, using 5 courts. MAS time : http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_MY.aspx Order of Play : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...4ED855-3BE8-4CF0-AA49-FA51CFD051F5&d=20130116 PAW Game : http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...Pick-A-Winner-(PAW)-181-Malaysia-Open-SS-2013 Some exciting clashes : - Tine Baun (DEN) v P.V. Sindhu (IND) - Busanan Ongbumrungpan (THA) v Sun Yu (CHN) - Porntip Buranaprasertsuk (THA) v Minatsu Mitani (JPN) - Nguyen Tien Minh (VIE) v Taufik Hidayat (INA) - Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Zieba (POL) v Michael Fuchs/Birgit Michels (GER) Two defending champions, Lee Chong Wei and Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl will fight to repeat last year success once again. No problem for home fave Lee Chong Wei while Danish WD needs extra effort to do it, China WD (Ma J/Tang JH) should be their major stumbling block.
Singapore WS :- 1) Gu Juan vs Saina 2) Xing Ai Ying vs Yip Pui Ying 3) Fu Ming Tian vs Yao Xue 4) Petya Nedelcheva vs Chen Jia Yuan Of the 4 SG players above, I think Chen JY and Xing AY have higher chance to win their game as compared to Gu Juan & Fu MT. For PAW game, only AlanY picked Gu Juan to win. I would like to support the SG girls, but only in spirit, and not in PAW game. (Sorry, I picked YX over FMT) Go, Singapore Girl.
Who is Kirsty Gilmour?? She seems to be a good player...!!! Lets hope she will come up in the rubber game !!!
Seems like Malaysian WD pair is doing well against top seeds. .. Lets see how they proceed further in the second round...??
First upset of the day.. Korean seeded mixed doubles pair is out..
