I am very regret not able to go to the stadium.. very rare chance.. it takes less than 30 minutes only to go there..
Surprise surprise....Fajar Alfian/Della Augustia Surya beat the senior pair of Tri Kusharjanto/Nadya Melati in straight-sets to progress to the Main Draw. They will face yet another junior pair of Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika for a place in the last 16. They would have played 3 matches in less than 12 hrs! Another pair that's being prepared for the WJC: Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Masita Mahmudin also progress to the Main Draw and face Markis Kido/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth. They thrash the so-called CHN prodigy Zheng Siwei and his partner He Jiaxin 21-9, 21-8. Zheng and He both won silver-medals in AJC BD and GD respectively this year. A good indicator perhaps for the upcoming WJC?
Douglas Lidman lost the first set 19-21...If my sources are correct he is currently on a six-month visit at the TH-center. I'm not sure if he has ever been in a qualifier for a GP level tournament before. Checked: No he hasn't. This might be too much for him still.
You're welcome Yeah, too bad both of you can't watch LIVE in stadium, I notice INA GPG host is various, from Samarinda, Palembang and now Yogyakarta. Rijal/Debby overcame their first round opponent Liu Yuchen/Huang Dongping in tough match, 19-21 / 21-18 / 21-17.
Tournament Day-2 will present R/64 MS and R/32 WS, MD, WD : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=3A6BD35A-E2C2-4C20-9D73-5B0D68EAC250 The competition is already started, easy match for MS & WS top-seed. Tight games between former AE champ Hafiz Hashim v Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo.
Local big TV stations like MNC Group, Trans Corp, SCTV/Indosiar have no interest to air LIVE badminton, considering commercial aspect. TVRI for Sirnas, Trans7 for INA Open SSP, all 11 SS + BWF event bought by MNC Sports channel

Rijal/Debby always having hard time against the MAS pair. Kevin/Masita looks promising. in Tangkas, no pair can match them. Masita is a good talent. good at net, and very good defense. i do like her way in returning any smash from the opponent.looks easy for her.weak in baseline.she also cute. a big added value , i would say. hahaha Fajar/Della lost to Lukhi/Annisa. Della is still way below Annisa.

Andrew Susanto is very inconsistent. but i still think that he can make it. let see until next year. i want to see his improvement
There are 48 entries from rest of the world and 112 entries from the host. Not even a single player from some countries, ie, none from Japan, why?
