Pia/Frans
Garce/Tantowi
Rizal/Debby
Shendy/Ahsan ( may be ...if they do play..it will be sometimes in June)

Butet/Devin are shown the weakness clearly on Devin's power. Butet should be paired with the powerfull player, maybe Frans.

Pia could be paired with Nitya as alternative pair for :
Greysia/Meiliana
Butet/Shendy

But in practice, no one beat Devin/Butet...anyway..they will give Devin a chance...the problem with Devin is his mentality...
Hm..let me ask why not..Pia and Nitya?
I think butet and shendy has more potential than Nitya/Shendy....

Pia & Nitya were paired since U-16
I saw Nitya more confidence and looked less presure when paired with Pia.

Once again, a painful day for INA fans...with another defeat at the AE Final means another wait for the elusive AE title

Time for INA XD to reshuffle and focus on which pairs to groom for the London Olympics 2012. Just less than 2.5 years to go and they better be fast!

They lost to Ahmad/Polii in kejurnas.Ahmad's smashes are harder,n his offensive play surely give devin a headache.2 straight sets i believe.But dunno whether it's just Ahmad's one perfect day or indeed he always play that well.

Nova performance today surely does give alot of indonesian spectators a headache today.N finally also affect natsir to do the same thing.From the beginning of the 3rd set,i told my friend that,if the indonesians dont give away free points,then they'll take it,no problem.Zhang Nan began to lose his stamina,n didn't attack alot.Zhao yunlei is not as difficult as they face Gao Ling.Zhang Nan also do no hard smashes no more.If u guys seen the live broadcast,u would know how they actually lose...

Watched the match Tantowi/Greys beat Devin/Butet easily, I doubt the pairing Butet with Devin can break the elite pair.
Try pairing Butet with Frans Kurniawan looked better.

..from what i witnessed (with my sleepy eyes), it seemed like it was a match where neither pair wanted to win, esp. from the INA pair. Both pairs made errors in crucial moments, and add a couple or so fault calls from the umpire.
Actually the INA pair was also leading late in the 1st game, but muffed up the lead and allowed the CHN pair to rally and sealed the game w/7 straight pts.

It’s Back to the Drawing Board for Indonesia's Shuttlers

The All England was supposed to measure whether local shuttlers were ready for a bigger stage.

If their dismal performance in Birmingham is any indication, Indonesia’s players have a lot of work to do before they are ready for their curtain call.

The shuttlers left the All England empty-handed for a seventh straight year. And unless they improve on key aspects of their game, national team coach Christian Hadinata said the poor results could carry over to their next top-flight tournament — the Thomas and Uber cups in May.

“Technically, our shuttlers are at par with other countries. In a major tournament like the All England or the Thomas and Uber cups, how motivated a player is and how determined they are makes the difference,” Christian said on Tuesday.

“I know the players feel the pressure of representing their country, but to be the best they have to overcome that.”

Christian said more experienced players on the team could help the younger ones cope with the mental stress.

Yup, bad outcome by those INA pairs

My friend in Swiss Open told me that Febe was not moving as smooth as usual, so Ella the Russian moved her waaay back and then kept giving her chops or bombs...

**Sandy** · 03-18-2010, 11:05 AM

Why some ppl think that Ella Diehl (old name : Ella Karachova) is easy meat to beaten.
Even MKY has h2h 1-1 against Ella. So I wasn't dare to pick Febe in PAW.

In SF Saarbrucken 2008, Febe won against Ella the score something like 21-19 12-21 23-21. I say she won a bit lucky, Ella looked angry after the match.
So in this tournament she prepare better to take revenge, and she played in homecountry too (she married with Switzerland man).

**badMania** · 03-18-2010, 06:56 PM

Exactly...I told Hau-Ge before the match that it's not gonna be easy for Febe to win this one....

Top men shuttlers to focus on training at home

Agnes Winarti , The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Sat, 03/20/2010 10:35 AM | Sports

Indonesia’s top men’s shuttlers will undergo intensive training at home in the next seven weeks prior to the Thomas Cup’s May finals in Malaysia, thus giving the opportunity to younger players to compete at the Asia Championships in April — the last top tournament before the Thomas Cup.

“We had little preparations for the [Thomas Cup Asian Zone] preliminary rounds in Thailand. We don’t want a repeat of that. So my focus is seven weeks of training at home for my top shuttlers,” national men’s singles coach Agus Dwi Santoso said Friday.

Because of the training at the Indonesian Badminton Association’s (PBSI) training camp in Cipayung, East Jakarta, world number 11 Sony Dwi Kuncoro and world number 12 Simon Santoso will be absent from the Badminton Asia Championship on April 12-18 in New Delhi.

The Gold Grand Prix-level tournament in India is the only international event left before the Thomas and Uber Cup finals in Kuala Lumpur on May 9-16.

The country’s best professional shuttler and world No. 4, Taufik Hidayat, and his juniors, Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, Tommy Sugiarto, Andre Kurniawan Tedjono and Nugroho Andi Saputro, though, will still participate in the event.
