^^I like the logo..^^ ...it's like one of those drawings/images, from a cartoon book, titled "Can you spot the badminton players??"...
Vidre Wibowo will play in here represent France I wonder why Arif Rasidi didn't compete again in international event, although he was INA Junior #1 in 2000.
Arif retired, he doesn't play anymore. Now he is a coach of the French team, and a also sparring partner.
I think INA will do well in this tournament. MD, WD, and XD looks like good throphy collection candidates. MS and WS are harder to win but still possible...
Team Djarum is certainly capable of winning the titles in WD and XD. As for MD, some tricky pairs to watch out as usual: 1. Johannes Schoettler/Tim Dettmann 2. Chris Langridge/Robin Middleton 3. Wouter Claes/Frederic Mawet 4. Simon Mollyhus/Anders Kristiansen (biggest hurdle for Rendra/Fran in both the Madrid Challenge and Toulouse Open). 5. Andrew Bowman/Matthew Honey
Yup. And it should be that way! The European clubs/national association where they work have no interest in converting their nationality. They just allow the INA players to compete as themselves... I agree. MD is harder to win for INA... It should be fun to follow the match developments...
Oh, in that case, BWF just don't have a good database system... not wierd... ...just not very organized.
Maria Elfira has god draw until SF. She probably will meet Van Cutsen, the one who could beat Chinese player; Jiang Yang Jiao. Andre Kurniawan faced tough draw; there are Anand Chetan and Andrew Dabeka. QF is the best for Andre. Easy draw for Frans/Rendra up to SF. They will face Dettmann/Schoettler, and probably Kristiansen/Mollyhus or Landgridge/Middleton if go through the final. Shendy/Meiliana I think will go through until Final, and I predict will meet Van Cutsen/Van Dooremalen.

Mel/Shendy have the biggest chance, followed by XD. In fact, I am predicting an all-INA Final in the XD. As for Fran/Rendra, shouldn't be a problem to enter SF where they will once again face the top-seed.
The INA MS and WS team will have a harder time... 3 INA titles from WD, MD, and XD are more likely to happen...
We can forget abt WS next week As for MS, tough draw for Andre Kurniawan Tedjono, facing Chetan Anand as early as QF, while Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto will face Peter Mikkelsen also in the QF.
