Austrian International 2008

**badMania** · 02-23-2008, 01:33 PM

Fran/Rendra are simply destroying the Belgian pair as they collected 7 straight pts to make it 14-3, before the Belgian won another pt back.

Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya do not disappoint as the Djarum pair wins the Austrian International Championships 2008 by beating the top-seed Claes Wouter/Frederic Mawet 21-14, 21-11 in just 21 mins. Congrats! Now, their next target is to win an International Challenge and hopefully a GP event this year. A GP Gold might be slightly beyond their reach...but...who knows

They should clear the first hurdle in the German Open 2008 next week by beating Johannes Schoettler/Tim Dettman.

Great result, Fran-Rendra!

Your first title EVER... Good for your own career, good for INA too...

he did indeed,

he has been having good results in the european circuit. a little unlucky not to be part of the indian team at the thomas/uber cup but am sure more top performances are coming up for him this year.

he along with anup and kashyap will be the indian singles players to keep an eye for this year

Hmm...what will be the next event for them (and perhaps for Rian/Yoke after the European GPs)?

My guess:
01-06 Apr India Open GP Gold 2008 *provided they are not cancelled again
15-20 Apr Asian Continential Championships 2008

Thomas Cup in May, so, very likely no tourneys for them.

A host of Asian International Series events (used to be Satellite events), but, I suppose both pairs are past International Series levels.

June will be a busy month!
03-06 Jun Philippines Open GP Gold 2008 *provided they are also not cancelled
10-15 Jun Singapore Open SS 2008 (Rian/Yoke only)
17-22 Jun Indonesia Open SS 2008 -- home event, can't miss for both pairs!
24-29 Jun Thailand Open GP Gold 2008 (Fran/Rendra only)

01-06 Jul Vietnam International Challenge 2008 (Fran/Rendra only if necessary)
15-20 Jul New Zealand Open 2008 (both pairs)

26-30 Aug Indonesia Challenge 2008 (Fran/Rendra only again, if necessary)

I know you would be awake

Look's like Djarum's effort is not wasted after all. 1 pair sent and they went home with a title
