I should be in the stadium to watch the night sessions. Not much interesting matches in the morning or afternoon sessions.

[nokh88]

Both the top seeds of WS & MD are playing in the morning.

Both the top seeds of WS & MD are playing in the morning.

but that's badmania
his focus must be on the last 2 matches of the day

[badMania]

With the exception of Aprilia Yuswandari and Lindaweni Fanetri, I will expect the following pairs to progress from the morning and early afternoon sessions quite comfortably:
MD - Luluk Hadiyanto/Candra Wijaya, Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan and Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputro
WD - Meiliana Jauhari/Greysia Polii

Tricky matches in the late afternoon and evening matches:
MS
7:50pm Hu Yun vs Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka - Hayom needs to progress to QF to defend his ranking points!

9:50pm Du Pengyu vs Taufik Hidayat [3] - err...I don't really care though.

MD
5:00pm Liao Min-Chun/Wu Chun-Wei vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [8] - the inconsistent AG may lose again.

8:30pm Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Leung Chun Yiu vs Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan - I expect Rendy/Afiat to progress to R16 and hopefully to QF if AG/Alvent lose.

9:50pm Rasmus Bonde/Anders Kristiansen vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [2] - should be a pretty straight forward draw to SF.

I think Linda wont have any problem to beat Maja,and Aprilia match against Hye Youn should be close one.

Recap of Aprilia result in recent tourney :

-Taipei GPG 2010-
Beat Ratchanok in QF 25-23 9-21 21-17.
but lost 19-21 21-15 18-21 to Bae Seung Hee in Semifinal.

-Indonesia Grand Prix Gold 2010-
Lost to Zhou Hui 19-21 23-21 16-21.


Recap of Lindaweni result in recent tourney :

-Birtbuger Gp-

beat Li Xuerui 21-16 16-21 21-17 in second round.
but lost to Zhou Hui in QF.

-INA GPG 2010-

lost to Gu Juan 21-17 13-21 16-21.

Both still need more consistency.

The Match of the Day could be this match between LD and JOJ.

KKK/CEH won the gold medal at the 2010 CWG and most thought that the new pairing would go on to win more titles.
But since then they have tanked losing in the 2nd round of the China Open to SP/ST 21-19, 21-10 and the 1st round of the HK Open to KKJ/JYN 21-19, 16-21, 21-12 consecutively. What went wrong? Maybe BAM Director of Coaching has a solution.
