Philippine Open 2006 Main Draw

[badMania]

MEN'S SINGLES

Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Boonsak Ponsana (MATCH OF THE ROUND)
Mohd Roslin Hashim vs Ng Wei

-- Can Hafiz and Roslin enter the final to make it a family affair tomorrow? Hafiz should beat Boonsak, but I think Ng Wei could prevail today.

WOMEN'S SINGLES

Saina Nehwal vs Ai Goto
Chie Umezu vs Julia Wong Pei Xian (MATCH OF THE ROUND)

-- Can young Saina and Julia enter the final tomorrow? Saina has once again upset one of the big guns...this time round Xu Huaiwen. She is my favorite for the title here.

MEN'S DOUBLES

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui vs Hendra Gunawan/Joko Riyadi (MATCH OF THE ROUND)
Yoga Ugikasah/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Albertus Susanto Njoto/Yohan Wiratama Hadikusumo

-- Can Hendra/Joko upset the higher-ranked Malaysian pair? They have done it before...but I still think Mohd Tazari/Lin have the slight edge. For the other match, the more experienced Indonesian-born HK pair should win.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES

Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nur Sugianti
Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Saralee Thoungthongkam/Sathinee Chankrachangwong (MATCH OF THE ROUND)

-- Wong/Chin won in 3 close sets (21-19, 15-21, 21-19) over Lita Nurlita/Nathalia Poluakan yesterday and will face another young Indonesian pair today. Rani/Endang has done well to reach the semi-final and should feel no pressure today. Jo/Greysia has an uphill battle against Saralee/Sathinee. Can they win today?

MIXED DOUBLES

Tri Kusharyanto/Minarti Timur vs Kennevic Asuncion/Kennie Asuncion (MATCH OF THE ROUND)
Mohd Rizal/Greysia Polii vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam

-- The first match is undoubtedly the Match Of the Day. This is what the home crowd is waiting for: one of the local pair in the semi-final! They will face the veteran Indonesian pair who are based in Manila as well. I last met Minarti Timur at the HK Open and I never thought she would ever compete again! Anyway, the ex-Olympic silver medallist pair holds the advantage here. They should meet my other fav pair: Sudket/Saralee in the final tomorrow.
