A few big names in the qualifications, specially in WS... Recent results : Elena Nozdran bt Lee Hyun Jin in 2 games Lu Lan bt Norzyahliza Baharum in 3 games ... More to come with in next round... Also in the qualifications : Simon Archer & Ella Tripp Marina Yakusheva & Ella Karachkova Mia Audina & Lotte Bruil vs Jang Soo Young & Lee Hyun Hwa (last qualification round) And in singles : Wu Yunyong Lee Hyun Hwa Julia Wong vs Nina Vislova (next generation match ) Adrianti Firdasari Wang Lin Camilla Sorensen etc...
MX qualifiers 3/4 are English : Adcock/Wallwork Middleton/Bok Archer/Tripp + "frenchies" : Stojanov/Eymard
I just took a look at the qualification results, and I was surprised to see the strong field in the WS. Just take a look at the eventual winners: Lu Lan, Wang Lin, Julia Mann and Lee Yun Hwa. Tough for the others.
Lu Lan beat Adrianti Firdasari 11-8, 11-7. Firda easily beat a German player earlier. Fransisca Ratnasari was "lucky" in not having to play the qualifiers yesterday, but, she has the worst luck in drawing World no 1 Zhang Ning in today's match. So, Team Indonesia's women singles players once again fail to advance beyond the preliminary rounds
Nana still have 1-90 chance to win over zhang ning . I really hope She can do it, but impossible. There is a litle good news in Indonesian badminton right now. PBSI search for indonesian baminton player in many indonesian cities by using audition. Hope we can have some good seed player in woman single after that. I think nana, firda, maria kristin should out from PBSI.
