INA can have 4 pairs eligible for the WC 2013 if they can finish in the top 8 WR by the end of the qualification period (after the Australia Open GPG). However, it will be almost impossible to dislodge the top 7 pairs, including Mateusiak/Zieba from their positions. So, it will be only realistic for INA to have 3 pairs. Except for Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir (WR2), there are only 3 other pairs that will realistically fight for the 2 remaining spots. These are the following pairs: 8. Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto -- projected points is 52,460 (assuming they lost to Xu/Ma tomorrow). They also will compete in the Swiss Open GPG next week. 9. Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati - projected points is 48,300 (assuming they also lost to Zhang/Zhao tomorrow). No Swiss Open for them 10. Markis Kido/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth - projected points is 46,140 (up to today, but they have the easier draw of facing Sudket/Saralee tomorrow...whom they had beaten. If they do beat the Thai pair, their points will be 47,790!). If they can reach QF in the Swiss Open next week, they will replace Fran/Shendy to be no 9...but it will not be an easy task as they face Chris Adcock/Gabrielle White in R32. Although INA has another pair: 11. Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili - 42,930 (early exits in the last 3 tourneys have practically meant they will not qualify for the WC 2013!). Debby/Rijal are almost assured of the second spot and Fran/Shendy will be involved in a tough tussle against Kido/Pia for the last spot. Kido/Pia have a slight advantage, especially if they can advance far next week. It could well be decided in the last tourney for the qualification: Australia Open GPG and I believe all 3 pairs will be competing there to secure their spot.

Debby/Rijal and Markis/Pia have played above expectation by reaching the Semi in AE. Debby/Rijal defeated Xu/Ma. Markis/Pia defeated more seeded opponents : Fischer/Pedersen, Sudket/Saralee. INA can qualify 3 XD pairs in WC for sure.

if Fran/Shendy are indeed not going to the Aussie Open, a QF place at the Aussie Open will ensure Pia/Kido to move up to the 8th place assuming the Polish pair not to win the title outright
kido/pia are in QF swiss gpg, so it's official for kido/pia and pia/rizky to WC . How about in ina MD department? will kido/alvent in?
XD, yes. Kido/Pia have move ahead of Fran/Shendy. MD, before the swiss QF Setiawan/Ahsan is actually 500 points ahead of Kido/Alvent as Setiawan/Ahsan have only 7 t'ments for the points. In fact, INA can pick any 3 out of the 5 MD and 6 XD pairs in the top 24.
The question is whether Pia/Rizky and also Pia/Kidho willl go to the WC ? Last time when Kidho/Hendra were profesional players, they chose not to go because WC does not have prize money. PBSI will require the pelatnas players to go but the profesional players are up to them
I mean next week kido/alvent will be no 2 highest rank in ina md department. so theyre qualify. for pia , I think she want to join. whether wth rizky or kido
Surprise surprise....Markis Kido/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth chose to decline the invitation for the WC spot. So, their spot is taken by Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati. INA also has several reserve pairs: Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili, Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Anggraini, Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika, Praveen Jordan/Vita Marissa, and Alfian Eko Prasetya/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.
Draw finally out. and 4 pairs of INA XD join the WC2013. they are: 1. Tontowi/Lilyana 2. Rijal/Debby 3. Frans/Shandy 4. Ricky/Richi
