Vietnam Open Grand Prix 2009

**badMania** · 10-08-2009, 02:56 AM

As expected, Maria Febe Kusumastuti beat Aprilia Yuswandari in straight-sets 21-17, 21-17. She will face Tai Tzu Ying for a place in the last 4.

In the MS, out of the 3 Pratama players, only Tommy Sugiarto remains. Both Nugroho Andi Saputro and Yoga Pratama lost in the past 2 days. Tommy has to beat Krishnan Yogendran if he's to fulfill his seeding.

Meanwhile, Djarum players all advance to R16. Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka should beat Andreas Adityawarman later tonight, while Andre Kurniawan Tedjono will face a tricky test against Derek Wong Zi Liang. Alamsyah Yunus [16] also advances and will face the seventh-seed Pakkawat Vilailak in R16.

In the XD, only Tontowi Ahmad/Richi Puspita Dili remains in the draw. They should beat Raj Veeran/Renuga Veeran tomorrow. They might just face the more experienced Flandy Limpele/Cheng Wen-Hsing for a place in the Final. Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto lost in a tight 3-setter as feared

All Malaysian singles made it

**badMania** · 10-08-2009, 05:17 AM

Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [4] and Luluk Hadiyanto/Joko Riyadi [7] have won their first matches. They should be on course to meet each other tomorrow for a place in the last 4.

Flandy Limpele/Yoga Ukikasah and Fernando Kurniawan/Lingga Lie [3] should also face no problem reaching R16.

Nana vs. Zhang Beiwen in the quarterfinals is a good matchup...

Can she beat the SIN player? 49-51 I would say

Oh...and the fact that only Lindaweni Fanetri progresses to QF and the 2 other Pelatnas back-up WS players lost to Djarum players do indicate that they should be kicked out.

Yuuup yup... Keep Linda, kick the 2 other WS out. The WS National Team composition of 2010 should just be: Firda, Maria Kristin, Maria Febe, and Lindaweni... That's it.

But in case INA needs extra firepower for the Uber Cup team, the national team can consider either Nana or Pipin as a backup WS...

And yes, I think Nana's chance of winning is 49%... She can beat Zhang Beiwen, but not an easy task at all....

UC team..
1.Firdasari
2.Maria Kristin (if she can increase her ranking before Februari 2010)
3.Maria Febe
4.Linda Weni (eerr...if Pelatnas don't call Febe, Linda Weni will be 3rd WS..just like Sudirman Cup..)..

Another casualties in INA camp as Alamsyah Yunus lost to Pakkawat Vilailak in 3 sets
Meanwhile Hayom quite surprisingly lost to Andreas

**CLELY** · 10-08-2009, 08:50 AM

Local fave Nguyen Tien Minh defeated MAS Daren Liew in 70 minutes, tough match for the top-seed and defending champion.

**badadum** · 10-08-2009, 09:32 AM

Nice job Andreas, probably surprising Djarum themselves

Meanwhile, Andre Kurniawan Tedjono prevailed over Singapore's Derrick Wong in a rubber set... He will face Tommy Sugiarto tomorrow. INA will surely get a representative in the SF. Also, I think Andreas 'Adit' Adityawarman can beat his sorta unknown quarterfinal opponent...
