Uber Semi Final 1 : Indonesia vs India..INA will secure 2 points WD and one from Maria Kristin..1st WS to India (Firdasari may suprise) Semi Final 2 : Korea vs Japan..50:50..hot matches.. Thomas 5th place : Taipei vs Hongkong...Taipei will secure 2 points from MD.. 3rd place : Japan vs India...JPN will secure 2 points from MD..crucial match : 1st MS Final : Indonesia vs Korea 1st MS, 1st MD, 2nd MD 50:50...MS2 & MS3 belong to INA..
Uber Cup: Indonesia will win 3-1 against India but cannot count out India WD yet. Korea VS Japan. Japan had more depth in WS and also tough second WD. I wonder if Korea coach will pair LKW/LHJ as second WD after losing today. 3-1 for Japan. (If score 2-2, Eriko Hirose will win the final point for Japan) Thomas Cup: Indonesia - Korea. I believe depend on Taufik VS PSH. If Taufik win, Indonesia will win 3-2. (KOrea will win 2 points from MD)
Indonesia WD have won all their matches so far in this tournament. I don't think India WD is better than Korea.
Ups- What's wrong I hope Taufik will play first MS and check whether the stamina training has worked well or not - so if he plays the first MS goes to INA for sure - Just not sure about the 3rd MS - - at least as long as they do not let Hayom play - folks, it's time to put him on courts! - - I'm sorry for that, but it's much better then watching Simon
Since Korea and INA has qualified...KOR or INA may not play in full strength....there is no point to waste more energy...I wont be surprise if KOR does not field PSH in MS
Yes, I agree with u....Ina may not field TH either.....as for UC....hope for easy breeze for Ina except for WS1 (Nehwal) and WD2 (Gutta/Ponnappa)....the others pretty much in our hand...
I assume JPN will win in the Uber Cup tie, thus, KOR will play for 3rd place... Let's just defeat INDIA today, go home smiling, and let KOR decide the fate of the IND gals. KOR's manager can ask Dr. Kang of BWF first... "Dr. Kang, what will be better for badminton fans worldwide: NED or IND in the Uber finals...?"
Thomas Cup match between Japan vs India hasn't finished yet. The winner of this encounter will be decided by last match, Shoji Sato vs Anup Sridhar.
Anup Sridhar beat Shoji Sato, 21-7 ; 19-21 ; 24-22 So the third place of Thomas Cup Preliminary Asia zone goes to India.
1. Firdasari Adriyanti - Nehwal Saina, 2. Polii Greysia/Maheswari Nitya Krishinda - Balan Aparna/Kurian Shruti, 3. Yulianti Maria Kristin - Gokhale Sayali 4. Irawati Shendy Puspa/Natsir Lilyana - Gutta Jwala Ponnappa/Ashwini, 5. Yuswandari Aprilia - Murgunde Trupti. INDONESIA BISA!!!!!
I hope you're right, because if this is Maria's true level, I don't think she can beat top WS player in the future then..
