Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series Premier 2013 - Day 2: Round 32 (11th June)

Today's headline match should be defending champion v INA #1 WS
Started 08.30am local time, R/32 part 1 will stage XD and WS matches only, using 3 courts.

 

32 matches will be played today (in WS and XD), as only 3 courts will be used; and the remaining 48 matches of R32 will be played tomorrow.

Almost all matches involving INA players will be exciting and hopefully, we can have some upsets.

I am happy that Riyanto Subagja progresses to the Main Draw after clearing 2 matches yesterday and he is rewarded with a match-up against Ajay Jayaram tomorrow. Likewise, PB Djarum's Andre Kurniawan Tedjono did not disappoint his club in the home-ground event and he will also play tomorrow against Gurusaidutt R.M.V.

I am also thrilled that Hanna Ramadhini can actually make it to R32! I wasn't expecting it as Hanna just came back from Maldives and had to play 2 matches yesterday! Not to mention that she's not even expected to play in the first-place (having been promoted from Reserves List). This bodes well for Hanna's AJC and WJC prospect this year. She will face Bae Youn Joo in an early morning match today. Maria Febe Kusumastuti also progresses to the Main Draw and she will face Yui Hashimoto later this afternoon.

As expected, Rian Sukmawan/Rendra Wijaya progress to the Main Draw. They face Markis Kido/Alvent Yulianto Chandra for a place in the last 16. The promising Pelatnas pair Ade Yusuf Santoso/Wahyu Nayaka are also through after a hard-fought victory against the ENG/SCO pair yesterday night. Ade/Wahyu will now face yet another ENG pair Chris Adcock/Andrew Ellis. The other Pelatnas pair Ronald Alexander/Selvanus Geh lost to the ex-Pelatnas pair of Andrei Adistia/Markus Fernaldi Gideon. Andrei/Markus will face MAS's 2nd pair of Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong.

In WD, only Ririn Amelia/Anggia Shitta Awanda make it to the Main Draw, after two straight-set victories. They will face INA's jinx pair Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi [2] tomorrow night. The other 2 Pelatnas pairs Melati Daeva Oktaviani/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari and Shella Devi Aulia/Imma Muthiah Khairunissa failed to clear the qualifiers. However, Melati/Rosyita put up a commendable fight against Jang Ye Na/Kim So Young.

In XD, only Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Variella Aprilsasi progress to the Main Draw, after a thrilling finale against Ardiansyah Putra/Devi Tika Permatasari 21-18, 14-21, 25-23! They will now face the top-seed Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei in R32 this morning. The Pelatnas pair Edi Subaktiar/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja failed to beat Japan's Hirokatsu Hashimoto/Miyuki Maeda in the 2nd Qualifying match yesterday.

 

7 matches involving INA players in WS R32, but, they will all be tough matches. I will be happy if 1 or 2 clear the first round. Adrianti Firdasari, Maria Febe Kusumastuti, and Aprilia Yuswandari have the kinder draw against Carolina Marin, Yui Hashimoto, and Eriko Hirose, respectively. Lindaweni Fanetri will be pitted against Saina Nehwal [2], Belaetrix Manuputty will face Sung Ji Hyun [6], Hera Desi will face Ratchanok Intanon [5], and Hanna Ramadhini will face Bae Youn Joo.

 

9 matches involving INA pairs in XD R32: 7 from Pelatnas and 2 independent pairs.

XD 32
Xu Chen/Ma Jin [1] vs Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Anggraini - it will be a massive upset if Irfan/Weni could beat the top-seed.

Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na vs Markis Kido/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth - although Kido/Pia are ranked higher and have just won a GPG title, I am afraid Ko/Kim may take this one.

Tarun Kona/Ashwini Ponnappa vs Praveen Jordan/Vita Marissa - this is a match that Jordan/Vita must win to show that they have what it takes to shine in the SS/SSP level tourneys, after having won 2 titles in the GP/GPG level recently.

Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei [3] vs Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Variella Aprilsasi - again, it will be a miracle for Markus/Lala to beat the third-seed.

Chan Yun Lung/Tse Ying Suet vs Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili - I am expecting Riky/Richi to progress.

Takeshi Kamura/Koharu Yonemoto vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto [8] - a tricky opening match for INA's no 2 XD pair. I hope Rijal/Debby could progress to at least QF.

Chris Adcock/Gabrielle White vs Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika - a learning experience for Lukhi/Annisa and let's see if they can repet Edi/Gloria's feat last week.

Michael Fuchs/Birgit Michels vs Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati - a tough opening match and if Fran/Shendy can win this one, it actually marks a progress for them.

Mads Pieler Kolding/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl vs Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir [2] - also a tough opener for the 2 times runner-up. Much is expected of Owi/Butet this week and they have the target of winning the title at home!
