not a very strong line up, what about the other nations, are they also just sending their 2nd stringers?
I think these guys are pretty decent for Osaka International Challenge. This kinds of tournaments are meant for up & coming youngsters like the ones in the lineup...
I think Yuan should be out from Pelatnas... I heard also that SuryaNaga are supposed to send few players too...
Really?!? Adnan Fauzi, Trikus-Bambang, etc. eh? For PON seedings, I assume... That's cool. For now, the more active INA professionals, the better...
www.osaka-badminton.jp actually I am surprised that in WD, reiko/Ogura and HA/KIM particiapte here...
Hwang should play at Finnish instead of Osaka...trvalling back and forth is not easy....7 weeks in a row...I think she may crash despite of being top seed in WS
Read somewhere (Jawa Pos perhaps) that they WILL NOT come for Osaka International. SNGG officials thought that those senior players were not ready for an Int Challenge event
Ah, soo desu ka? Totemo furui nee? [Oh really? Too old eh?] *I'm refreshing my rusty Japanese now so I can talk to Reiko well...*
Kumiko Ogura/Reiko Shiota ARE the top seed in WD. U can catch a flight to Osaka next week if u wanna talk to the cuties
