Waduh, Wifqi/Anneke KO already...

Expected really, since their main priorities are NOT in XD.

MS R16
Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie [1] vs Le Ha Anh/Bui Quang Tuan -- should be no problem for Edo/Lingga.

Fran Kurniawan/Mohd Rijal vs Nuttaphon Narkthong/Patiphat Chalardchalaem [4] -- the Thai pair has an edge as Rijal is not really an MD player.

Ryota Taohata/Yuya Komatsuzaki vs Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan -- Wifqi/Afiat should progress to the QF for an anticipated encounter against Hendri/Hendra.

XD QF
Mohd Lufti Zaim Abdul Khalid/Lim Yin Loo [1] vs Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- the first tough match for Fran/Pia and I hope Fran's experience in XD will help the INA pair sail through to SF.

Patiphat Chalardchalaem/Savitree Amitrapai [4] vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto -- similarly, Rijal's experience will prove crucial with the hope of an all-INA SF and a guaranteed place in the Final for one INA pair.

Hendra Wijaya/Li Yujia vs Lingga Lie/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia -- I will say with Li Yujia's experience, the SIN pair should beat Lingga/Keshya.

Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Puspita Dili vs Wong Wai Hong/Koon Wai Chee [2] -- the INA pair won easily in the past 2 matches and they should beat the second-seed also.

WS QF
Sapsiree Taerattanachai vs Fransisca Ratnasari [8] -- a good start for Nana as a Djarum player and I hope she continues her good form tomorrow.

Maria Elfira Christina [3] vs Shizuka Uchida [7] -- a tough match for Fira, but I still think she can beat the JPN girl.

Aprilia Yuswandari vs Ratchanok Intanon -- let's see if Aprilia can avenge her team-mate's loss.

Nitchaon Jindapol vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti [2] -- I think Febe should beat the Thai girl.

the seed 1st Smith lost and receipt 2 red cards from umpirage

Ouch...that bodes well for Hayom tomorrow, if he can beat the Japanese player.

[Jagdpanther]

Mohd Lufti Zaim Abdul Khalid/Lim Yin Loo [1] vs Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- the first tough match for Fran/Pia and I hope Fran's experience in XD will help the INA pair sail through to SF.

Wifqi/Anneke could steal 1 set from this pair.
I hope Fran/Pia can steal...2.

[gerrard778]

is there any update from all INA MD & WD who played tonight??

[gerrard778]

Got it from vietnambadminton forum!
NGUYEN Tien Minh - PAMUNGKAS Bandar Sigit : 21-14, 21-14

It seems that tien minh is the major contender to win the tourney...

[badMania]

Expected really. Nguyen Tien-Minh should retain the title after Andrew Smith's surprise defeat.

[Krisna]

With Gepeng's loss to P. Kashyap, my prediction is right. SF target for them is completely a joke.

Aaarrrgghh, Gepeng lost! I hate it when you're right... Ha ha ha! Who set this SF target for them? Hendrawan? Or some unknowledgeable new PBSI official?


As of now, the MD are still playing. I heard unconfirmed reports that INA's WD are still intact... all are in the QF.

[badMania]

From Edo's FB:
Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie have progressed to the QF and will probably face the Thai pair Kovit Phisetsarasai/Nitipong Saengsila.

[badMania]

More results, all the MD and WD pairs have progressed to the QF.

MD QF:
Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie [1] vs Kovit Phisetsarasai/Nitipong Saengsila -- the first tough test, but I think Edo/Lingga can overcome the Thai pair.

Hong Chieng Hun/Chong Pak Chuu (possibly) vs Fran Kurniawan/Mohd Rijal -- hopefully, the INA pair can win.

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya [5] vs Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [2] -- this is the match of the day IMHO. I hope Wifqi/Afiat can sneak a win to confirm their status as INA's promising pair.

WD QF
Annisa Wahyuni/Anneke Feinya Agustine [4] vs either JPN or MAS -- Annisa/Anneke should fulfill their seeding.

either AUS or HKG vs Keshya Nurvita Hanadia/Komala Dewi -- tricky for prediction. I don't dare to think that Keshya/Dewi can progress to SF.

Debby Susanto/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah vs either Vanessa Neo Yu Yan/Li Yujia or Chan Tsz Ka/Tse Ying Suet [2] -- I hope Debby/Pia can also win yet again.
